the fum of Forty Shillings for every able feaman, and Twenty Shillings for every ordimary feaman, over and above the bounty granted by his Majefly, be given by and during the pleasure of the Court, and 1 ot exceeding one month from this day, to every fuch feaman as fhall enter at the Guildhall of this City into the fervice of his Majesty's navy; and that the Remembrancer do immediately wait on the right Honourable the Earl of Chatham, First Lord Commiffioner of the Admiralty, with a copy of the faid refolution, fairly tranfcribed, and figned by the Town Clerk; and fignify the request of the Court that his Lordship will lay the fame before his Majefty, as an humble teftimony of their zeal and affection for his moft facred perfon and government, and of their unshaken attachment to the glorious Conftitution of thefe kingdoms.

It having been noticed that the City of London had not in the prefent cafe taken the lead, as ufually they do, in offering bounties; it may be proper to observe that the delay (if fuch it may be called) arose from the peculiar period of time; the Court of Common Council not being properly a body in existence till Tuefday the 8th, and their refolutions were paffed on the 10th, the earlieft moment in which they could pofhbly be convened.

This day the Coroner held an inqueft on the bodies of Mr. Silva and Mary Williams, his fervant.

Thomas Cobb, the nephew of Mary Williams, a boy of about twelve, who, with his fifter, had been taken out of charity to be educated by Mr. Silva, faid that, on going out to fchool on Wednesday morning, he left both the deceased at breakfast in the kitchen; that, on returning about noon, and not being able to obtain admittance, he went down the area, and in at the kitchen window, when he faw Mr. Silva lying near the fire place groaning, and his aunt lying near the dreffer apparently dead: that he went up the stairs, and out at the street door to call for help: on paffing the parlour door, which was generally locked, he obferved it open, and a lighted candle on the fecond window-feat, but did not fee or hear any perfon in the house. George Saunders found the deceafed in the kitchen, as defcribed by the boy. On lifting up Mary Willams, there were figns of life, but the expired in two minutes. Mr. Silva was alive, but fpeechlefs and infenfible, and fo continued till he died on Thursday morning. He found the parlour

door open, but no candle in the room; in a clofet in the kitchen a large iron cheft unlocked, and nothing in it but a wooden bowl, and a mall iron cheft faftened to the large one, and locked: In the front room, one pair of ftairs, a beaureau open, with the drawers out, and the papers, in confufion; and on the floor a quantity of bedding folded up, apparently taken from the bedstead in the next room.

Mr. North, Surgeou, on. examining the body of Mr. Silva, found a deep lacerated wound behind the left ear, a wound about two inches long on the upper part of the head, with fracture and depreffion of the fkull, two fmaller wounds on the left temple, the temporal bone fractured, and very much beat in upon the brain. The deceased languifhed till about half an hour after eight on Thursday morning.

John Horne faid, that Mary Williams came to his fhop about half an hour after nine, when the faid her mafter's nephew was come to breakfast with him, and had brought a fine fowl for dinner.

Mary Newens faid, that Mary Williams came to her shop about nine for the ufual quantity of rolls, and returned abont eleven for a penny brick, which the faid was for her mafter's nephew, either come or coming to breakfast; but which of the two words the witnefs does not recollect. That on Friday a man about 40 years of age came twice to her; faid he had promised to breakfaft or dine with Mr. Silva, without fixing the day, but had been near him, and begged on his knees that the witnefs would not fay any thing more to injure him than the deceafed Mary Williams had faid to her.

The Jury found a verdict of wilful murder by perfons unknown.

Mr. Mendez, a nephew of Mr. Silva's, was taken up on fufpicion, and examined at Bow-street. He proved by moft respectable evidence that he was at home at the time the murder was committed, and was difcharged. He has fince, however, deftroyed himself; fee p. 95.

Nov. 7. At Perth, Mr. David Smith. 30. Aged 50, Jackson Hernan, efq. of Great Suffolk-ftreet, Charing-crofs, the eldest fon of the late Mr. H. formerly an eminent apothecary there. He had been afflicted with an afthmatical complaint for fome weeks, and was advised by his physician to change his climate for the winter. This advice was fo unwelcome to him that he inftantly refolved to deftroy himself, and he fhot himself through the head; the ball entered below the right temple, and paffing out at the crown of the head it penetrated the wainscot of the room; he was not for fome hours deprived of reafon; his fenfes then left him; he languifhed in all mear 24 hours and died. He alfo had been brought up to the profeffion of phyfic, and had declined praetice fome years. He was of mild, gentle man, ners, and much respected.

Mr. G. was endowed with uncommon talents, he had many amiable qualities blended with a wild and romantic mind. His mufical abilities were very extraordinary; he could exeel on any instrument in half as little time as a middling performer could learn his gamut. Having fome temporary difference with his relations, he refolved, in one of bis eccentric humours, to `marry, and took an amiable girl, the daughter of a tradesman in Dublin, about feven years ago; he was warned of his difpofition; he foon left her, but in due time the bore him a fon, who, it is faid, fhews also a wonMr. G. was of a derful genius for music. delicate conftitution, and, for the fake of health, fpent much of his time on the continent, generally in Switzerland; he was fenfible of his levities and imprudence, and met his diffolution with a cool and penitent refignation.

26. At Canterbury, aged 67, Mr. William Adams.

At Liverpool, of a gradual decay of the vital powers, aged 58, the Rev. Ralph Nicholfon, formerly a fellow of Brazen Nose college, Oxford, and rector of Dudcote, Berks. This amiable and excellent man was first attacked by the gout at the age of 30, and its

returns have been ever fince fo frequent and violent, that he has for the last ten years of his life been almost totally deprived of the ufe of his limbs; yet, fe cultivated was his understanding, fo incomparable his temper, fo warm his piety, fo fteady his refignation, that confinement feemed to lofe its languors, and difeafe its forrows. A fingle instance has perhaps feldom appeared, which more completely evinced how inestimable are the pleafures which may be obtained from the mind, how powerful are the comforts which may be derived from religion. A scholar, a companion, a friend, a father, an husband, a minifter of the gospel, in all thefe relations he with reafon was admired, beloved, and valued. Wit without ill-nature, learning without pedantry, mirth without folly, devotion without gloom, and virtue without aufterity, thefe will be long remembered and regretted by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance; and fociety has left a living testimony to the practical value of the doctrines of Christianity, which was too striking for the moft carelets not to remark, and too unequivocal for the moft penetrating and fceptical obfervers of human conduct not to acknowledge and revere. The admirers of Bp Taylor will lament that the above gentleman has probably been prevented by death from lay ing before them feveral particulars which he had collected refpecting the the life and writings of that eminent prelate.

5. At Lincoln, in his 68th year, the Rev. John Gordon, D.D. F.S. A. precentor and archdeacon of Lincoln, and rector of Hentead in the county of Suffolk; highly diftinguished by ftrong natural abilities, an eminent fcholar, a fincere Christian, and a good man. He had been vifibly declining in his health for above a year, during which time he had two or three fainting fits. A. bout two months ago, after having attended church, and taken his morning walk, he was attacked by the fevereft and the last of them; the effects of which on his intellects continued the last five weeks of his life, without hopes of a recovery, his diforder being a dropfy in his breaft. Dr. G. was born at Whitworth, in the county of Durham, in the latter end of the year 1725, and received his educa tion at the grammar-school at Durham, under Mr. Dougworth, one of the first scholars of that time. The great proficiency he here made in claffical learning difplayed itself very early in his academical career, which commenced in the fpring of the year 1745. He was admitted of Peterhoufe, Cambridge; but, on a controverted election, the fide on which he voted failing of fuccefs, he removed to Emanuel college, where he proceeded A. B. 1748, A. M. 1752, S.T.P. 1765, and of which fociety he afterwards became fellow, and refided there till he was prefented by them to the rectory of Henftead, which vacated his fellowship. In the year 1762, June 14, he married Anne, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Dighton of Newmarket, and widow of Dr. Philip Williams, formerly public orator of the univerfity of Cambridge, and rector of Barrow, Suffolk, who died 1761, leaving two daughters. On this eccafion Dr. G. had offered binafelf a candidate for the orator's place, in competition with the late Dr. Barford who obtained it. After his marriage he refided in the town of Cambridge. In the year 1765, he was appointed chaplain to Dr. John Green, then bishop of Lincoin. By the friendship and patronage of this learned prelate he was promoted fucolicelyto the archdeaconry of Bucks, the archdeaconry of Lincoln, and the precentorship of Lincoin, the two laft of which he held till the time of his death. His exemplary conduct in these important fituations will long be remembered to his honour by all who had any opportu nity of obferving it. In his archidiaconal character he was ever attentive to the calls of duty; anxious to promote the glory of God by a careful attention to the improvement of the places fet apart for his worthip, and watchful for the good of the clergy placed more immediately within his jurifdiétion. And, though no one could fet a more ftriking example of propriety in his own conduct, or more fteadily discountenanced every marked or glaring deviation from the rule of right in the clerical character, he was not rigid in trifles, but always lefs inslined to cenfure than commend. When,

however, at any time his duty would not fuffer him to be filent, whilft the purity of his own character added weight to every thing he faid, he fo tempered the feverity of reproof with the mildness of Chriftian charity, that he wes refpected by all, without giving offence to any. As a refidentiary of the church at Lincoln, his conduct was ne le's useful and exemplary. His obligations to the bishop he repaid to the church, by his atdukty in conducting the repairs and improvements of that fabric under the direction of the late Mr. Effex of Cambridge. And, at the fame time that he difcharged with fingular fidelity his profeffional duties, his kill and tafte in Gothic architecture gave birth to many advantageous and highly ornamental improvements in that cathedral, which le uniformly watched over with reverential

care.

It is not the intent of this narrative to record the virtues of his private life, nor indeed would it be eafy to recount the many excellences of this kind which adorned his character. Suffice it to fay, that the church has loft an able fupport, and one of its greatest ornaments; the poor à real friend and most kind benefactor; on that fubjecf the country round has but one voice. He was tenderly attached to all thofe whom he was related to, remarkable for his Liberal hofpitality to men of all ranks and defcriptions, and univerfally the friend of his fellow-creatures. He was buried, by his lady, in the South aile of the choir, on the 12th inftant, about ten in the morning, with full choir service, all the clergy in the town attending. The Dean read the fervice; and there was fcarcely a dry eye in the cathedral. It is much to be regretted that a man fo fingularly endowed, with such amiable difpofitions, and an understanding fo highly cultivated, thould not have left behind hira more productions of his pen to bear teftimony to the goodness of his head and heart. One of his first publications was a treatife in two parts, intituled, "A New Eftimate of Manners and Principles," published in the year 1760, and much acmired at the time for the ftrength of argument and genuine wit with it was written, notwithstanding it gave a preference to the moderns over the anticot. On the great contest for the high stewardship of the univer fity of Cambridge, 1764, he published "An Addrefs to the Members of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, on an Attention due to Worth of Character from a Religious Seciety, with a view to the enfuing Election of High Steward; to which is added, a Letter from Mr. Jofeph Mede, formerly of Chrift's College, ('rm a manufcript in the Harleian Collection, f. 911) giving a very particular Account of the Circumstances attending the Duke of Buckingham's Election in King Charles the Firt's Time, by a Master of Arts, 1704." He also published a few fermons; one before the Governors of Addenbroke's hofpital at Cambridge, 1767; the fe
