With Biographical Memoirs of diftinguished Characters recently deceased. THE committee for managing the fchool of the Indigent Blind in St. George's Fields, having obtained poffeflion of fome premifes adjoining the prefent fchool-houfe, have given notice of their intention to add fifteen male pupils to the establishment, now confifting of twenty-oue male and fixteen female pupils They likewife have it in contemplation to open a day-school on the premises for fuch as can make it convenient to lodge and board in the neighbourhood. It is reported that an application will be made during the prefent feffion of parliament for an act to build a bridge over the Thames from the Strand, and to form a new road direct from Covent Garden to the Obelik, in St. George's Fields. On the 23d of February, two of the men who were concerned in an atrocious murder of a Mr. Steel on Hounflow-heath, upwards of four years ago, were on the confeflion and evidence of an accomplice executed in the Old Bailey. This circumftance deferves efpecial record in confequence of the fhocking accident of no less than thirty perfons (men, boys, and women) having been fuffocated in the immenfe crowd, which affembled to witnefs the execution. Some perfous fell, others fell over them, and the exceffive preffure rendered it impoffible to afford relief, till nearly fifty were deprived of all vifible figns of lite.

In Gloucefter-place, New Road, after long lingering under a confumption, Frances Gould, eiq. principal proprietor of the Operahoufe, in the Hay-market. He bore an ainiable character, and is much regretted by all who knew him. His acquaintance with perfons in fashionable life was very extenfive; during the time he affifted in conducting the affairs of the Opera, it proved exceedingly lucrative, and he obtained the approbation of the nobility and gentry. He is fuppofed to have died poffeffed of confiderable property. He was married a few days before his death to Mits Skedgall, a lady to whom he had been attached, and a niece of Mr. Kelly, of the Opera-house. At Wandsworth, William Walker, efq. In Francis-ftreet, Bedford-iquare, Alexander Watt, efq. In Great George-ftreet, Mrs. Hofter, wife of Jolm H. efq. Francis William Montagu, fecond fon of Matthew M. efq. of Portman fquare, 18. At his apartments in the Haymarket, General John Reid. This officer, the oldest in the fervice, was in his 87th year. In his youth he ferved in the 42d Highland regiment, the gallant corps who annihilated Napoleon's jaidijant Invincibles in Egypt. In the meridian of his life he was efteemed the best gentleman German-flute performer in England: he was alto particularly famed for his taste in the compofition of military music. His marches ate ftill much admired. It is faid he has bequeathed a fum nearly amounting to 30,0001. to eftablish a fund for the decayed musicians of Scotland, and their indigent children. By the death of General Reid, there is a vacancy in the colouclcy of the 88th regiment. At Clapham, William Chivers, efg. This gentleman who acquired a confiderable fortune in the wine trade, had for feveral years retired from the hurry of business intending to fpend the remainder of his lite in focial retirement at an elegant refidence, on Clapham Common. Mr. C., was no mean botanift, and was paffionately devoted to horticultural purfuits; in fhort, his garden was his hobby-horfe; and by a natural confequence, his gardener was with him as fatuiliar and as important as Corporal Trim was with Uncle Toby. One morning Mr. C. took his accustomed and favourite walk, and obferving his gardener employed in digging a piece of ground in which he had previously enjoined him not to intertere, as he intended to devote it to the reception of fome choice and valuable exotics, he remonftrated with him, as from mafter and fervant, on this difobedience of express directions. The gardener returned an infolent reply; upon which Mr. C. calmly obferved, "Well, John, as we are not likely to agree on this fubject, you had A a better better retire to the house, receive your wages, and go about your business!" The inhuman gardener immediately raifed his fpade and truck his defencelets mafter fo violent a blow between the right cheek and eye, that the inftrument penetrated confiderably into the head The gardener then ran off towards Clapham, and fome time after wards Mr. C. was accidentally difcovered by his fervant, bleeding profufely on the ground. Mr Railton, a neighbour to Mr. C., inftantly dispatched an exprefs to the public office, Bow-treet. Mr Graham difpatched Rivett and Miller, two very active officers in a poft chaife for the purpose of securing the delinquent; hut, previously to their arrival at Clapham, he had been apprehended, and conveved to Union Hall, in the borough. The requinte investigation was entered upon, during which the magistrates were informed by the furgeon, that after languishing three hours, Mr. C was dead! The gardener is fully committed to take his trial for the mur der In Queen freet, Edgware-road, Mr. Wil liam Tapin, veterinary furgeon, well known for his publications on fubjects connected with his profeflion. In 1788 appeared the first volume of "The gentleman's Stable Directory," which was followed by a fecond. In 1796 he published, "A Compendium of Practical and Experimental Farriery," in an octavo volume. Thefe books have been favourably received notwithstanding the fome what pompous and inflated manner of the author, which is but ill-adapted to the information of perfons for whom they were defigned. They are however likely to be of general utility. The laft avowed publication of Mr. T. was his "Sporting Dictionary," in two octavo volumes which appeared about the year 1804. He was we believe the editor of the "Sportfman's Cabinet," a fplendid work in two volumes, royal quarto, containing a history and defcription of the various fpecies of the canine race. About two years fince family affliction began to impair his faculties, and from that period his health gradually declined. At Wimbledon, Sir Stephen Lushington, bart. This gentleman was the third fon of the Rev. Dr. Henry L., formerly vicar of Eaft Bourne, Suffex. His father having a nume rous family, determined to fend Stephen abroad to push his fortune, and he accordingly repaired to the Eaft Indies in the civil fervice of the company. Here we believe he had the misfortune to be one of the unhappy captives, who, on the taking of Calcutta by the nabob of Bengal were confined during the deftructive night of the 20th of June, 1756, in the Black Hole, where 123 out of 146 perifhed. If we are not mifinformed it was this gentleman who is mentioned by Mr. Holwell in his account of what paffed on that horrid night, in the following words:"One of my miferable companions, on the right of me obferved, that fallayed my thirst by fucking my fhirt-feeve; and thereupon robbed me from time to time of a confiderable part of my flore; though after I detected him, I had ever the addreis to begin on that fleeve first, when I thought my refervoirs were fufficiently replenished; and our mouths and notes often met in the conteft. This plunderer, I afterwards found, was a young gentleman in the fervice, Mr. L., one of the few who furvived, and fince affored me that he believed he owed his life to the many comfortable draughts he had from my fleeves "After this narrow eicape he con tinued to sefide for many years in A, where he proved more fortunate than 24 elder brother, who, with many other fugnia fubjects was put to death by the Nabub Coflim Ali Cawn, at Patna. During this period he held feveral high and confidential fituations, and at length returned to his na tive country, where he married Mifs Boldere, the eldest daughter of John B., efq. of Athen den Hall, in Hertfordshire, and an eminent banker in the city of London, by whom he had a numerous family of tea children, five fons and five daughters. He was created a baronet in 1791, and fat in feveral parliaments, having been elected for Heliton in 1790, St. Michael's in 1796, and Penrhyn in 1802. Sir Stephen has alfo for many years acted as a director of the Eaft India Company, and occupied both the chairs at the India-houfe. In 1790 when the queftion relative to the abatement of the impeachment of Mr. Haftings was agitated, Sir Stephen, who was then chairman of the court of directors, bore teftimony to the merits of the adminiftration of the late governor general. Of late he has not taken an active part in public affairs. For many years Sir Stephien had been afflicted with the gout, but experienced no uncommon change of health, till a few days previous to his diffolution. John Hayman Packer, of Drury-lane theatre, was born March 21, 1730, in the Strand, and ferved his time to his father, a fadler, in Glafs-houfe-ftreet. He appeared on the ftage at Newcastle, in 1754, under the name of Hayman, and first played in London in 1758, at Covent Garden in the parts of Johnfon in the Rehearsal, and of the Frenchman in Lethe. He played at Drury-lane in September that year, Selim in the Mourning Bride; and afterwards performed Catesby in Richard III. with Garrick, and continued to perform in almost every piece wherein Garrick appeared till he quitted the ftage, in 1776. Mr. Packer for more than fifteen years had but forty fhillings weekly, for twelve years be bad three pounds, then four. He could read fmall print by moonlight, and never ufed glaffes but to fee diftant objects, and it was the reward of his temperance that he never loft a tooth. He kept a journal of his life from the day he left his father's house till his death; and a book in which he entered |
