Tuesday last one Richard Faulkner was committed to our castle, charged with robbing Mr. John Bird, of Stonehouse, in this county, last Saturday se'nnight, about 12 at night, when he took from him his watch, with about 20s. in silver, and attempted to murder Mr. Bird by cutting his throat; in which attempt, however, he providentially failed, though the skin was cut through almost from ear to ear. Mr. Bird imagined himself attacked by three persons; but Faulkner declares positively that he had no accomplice. We hear from Tewksbury, that a prosecution hath been commenced against the Rev. Mr. Evanson of that place, by several of the parishioners. The accusation against him is for depraving the public worship of God contained in the liturgy of the Church of England, asserting the same to be superstitious and anti-christian; preaching, writing, and conversing against the Creeds and the Divinity of our Saviour, and assuming to himself the power of the public worship. Above three hundred other parishoners have subscribed the sum of 240 pounds in order to defend his cause. Mr. George Whateley, organist of Cirencester, to be one of the King's band of music. 1689.-MAISEMORE CHURCH: MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS.In the parish church of St. Giles, Maisemore, near Gloucester, there are the following inscriptions, of which accurate copies have recently been taken : (Chancel.) To the memory of the Rev. Richard Raikes,* Incumbent of this Parish, who died September 5, 1823, in the 80th year of his age. Pious and benevolent, learned and meek, he had laboured almost 30 years as a faithfull minister of the Church of Christ. Through sixty years of peculiar suffering and bodily weakness | he manifested to all who knew him, the power of faith, by the cheerfulness and diligence with which he fulfilled his duties, | rejoicing to prove his love for his Redeemer, whose mercy he adored, and on whose merits alone he relied for salvation, and • He was brother of ROBERT RAIKES, and felt a lively interest in the education of the young. His monument in the south aisle of Gloucester Cathedral bears a suitable inscription.-ED. entire submission and devotion to his holy will. | Reader, whoever thou art, profit by this memorial of one whose delight and employment consisted in doing good to others. By industry and humility shew thyself the disciple of Christ; and if it please God to call thee to trials, thankfully receive the opportunities they offer by glorifying God by the patient enduring of affliction, in the hope of eternal blessedness, which was purchased by the sufferings of the Incarnate Son of God. | "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." Rev. xiv. 13. 2. Near this spot | lie the mortal remains of Julia, late the wife of Richard Harward, of Maisemore Lodge, Esquire, and youngest daughter of Admiral Viscount Exmouth, who died December 26, 1831. | This tablet is dedicated to the memory of an amiable and affectionate wife, a daughter tenderly attached | and devoted to her parents, | a kind and charitable friend to the sick and needy, and a humble and sincere Christian, | by her afflicted parents and husband. 3.
