led her more assiduously to cultivate those social and heart-binding virtues, which rendered her character most amiable, and continually drew round her, both of her own re. lations and remote acquaintances, a circle of pleasing and elegant associates; who were charmed with the suavity of her manners, exhilarated with the unvarying cheerfulness of her disposition, and warmed with the benevolence of her heart. She possessed a bright and vigorous fancy, and her understanding was fervid and vivacious. She was a great lover of the belles-lettres, and had attained such proficiency in the practice of the delightful science of music, as to rank her the first amateur performer upon the harpsichord in the county. After a patient but ineffectual struggle with a delicate constitution, she cheerfully and serenely, as she had always lived, resigned her life, rich in that faith and hope of future felicity, which leaves upon the minds of her family and friends, the sweetest impressions to console them for the loss of the object of their tenderness

WARWICKSHIRE.

From a statement published by the Committee of the Guardians of the Poor in Birmingham, it appears that the money collected for their use in that town during the last five years, amounts to the enormous sum of 115,5311 19s. 10d.

The hurricane which extended over the greatest part of the Kingdom the 10th of November last, raged with particular violence at Hatton, in this county. In the night of that cay, or very early the following morning, the trante of a beautiful painted window, which in 1794 had been put up in the chancel by the late ingenious Mr. Eginton, was blown upon the ground to a considerable distance, and broke by its fall a massy grave stone: some large stones which supported it, were wrenched from the wail. The window itself, which had for some time been an object of admiration to the neigh bourhood, was shattered into a thousand pieces, and one of the shutters which had usually protected it from the weather, was blown over the church yard and a little lane into an adjacent field.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

A melancholy accident lately happened at Belmont near Hereford, which strongly shews the great danger of sleeping within the influence of the noxious vapour arising from fires made of charcoal or coke, both of which are equally destructive to life. It had been the custom of the stable servants to burn charcoal in the harnness room during the day-time in damp weather, when the ventilation made by two opposite doors prevented the noxious effluvia from having any bad effects. One day the room wasa ired in this manner with coke, and more fuel of the same kind was imprudently added at night, and left in a burning state, when the doors were shut. The coachman and groom have their sleeping chamber-immediately over the harness room. An alarm was given from their not appearing at breakfast the next morning, and upon going to their bedchamber, the groom, a young lad of 17, was found quite dead, and the coachinan with some signs of lite remaining. The usual means of restoring suspenced animation were immediately tried on both the bodies; all endeavours were in vain towards the boy; the coachman appeared to revive a little by the unremitted application of stimulants, and even bied rather freely, but sensibility never returned, and he too cies the following day. Thus two young men in the bloom of lire, excellent servants, greatly regarded by the

might consequently have been imagined, that this deadly vapour would not have penetrated by ascending from a lower room into one over it, between which, communication seemed to be cut off by a close ceil ing, and a door well fitted at the top of a staircase. The present fatal instance proves, that no person should think himself safe in sleeping in any situation near the poisonous influence of these effluvia, which are the more dangerous from being attended with little o

no smell.
