INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN LONDON,
MIDDLESEX, AND SURREY.

With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased.

THE respectable Society of SCHOOLTMA MPs held theicistal Anniversary at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; when the Duke of Kent was in the chair. After dinner a variety of loyal and appropriate toasts were drunk; several songs were given by Messrs. Dignum, Clark, and others, and the evening was spent with great cordiality and unanimity.

The Sherifts of London appeal to the affluent in behalf of the SHERIFFS' FUND, one of the most operative charities, in its relief of real misery, known to the country. It does not at present amount in this year to 2004.!

The SMITHFIELD CLUB attracted the usual attention this year among connoiseurs in stock, and Mr. COKE, of Norfolk, was elected its future president.

It appears by the statement of a Dublin paper that the total number of CATHOLICS in England and Wales considerably exceed three hundred thousand. The principal Catholic counties are Lancashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Northumberland. These, with Durham, Cheshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent, and Worcestershire, contain about 200,000; London and its suburbs, with Surrey and Middlesex, 50,000. The remaining 50,000 are thinly scattered throughout the other countes and cities; but chiefly in Bristol, Bath, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Exeter, Gloucester, and a few watering places. In every county in England there are Catholic chapels and congregations. Altogether there are about 900 chapels, and generally clean, commodious, and well built. Lancashire alone counts upwards of 100 Catholic chapels, and in the Catholic counties, gentlemen maintain chaplains in their own houses.

The following caution has been publicly circulated by permission of the Gresham Committee:-"The public are hereby informed, that, in order to shorten the duration of anxiety suffered by parents and others, occasioned by little children stray. ing from home, or being otherwise missing, notices of children, being lost or found, may be posted up at the front of the Royal Exchange, on boards placed 'there for the purpose, (free of expence to the parties,) by which means a ready communication will be formed between those who have lost, and those who have found the children; and thus many hours, perhaps days, of severe affliction may be prevented. children, of course, are to be taken care of in the parish where they are found, until their places of abode are discovered.

The

The past month has been rendered lopally memorable by the continuance of

December, and continued several days, of
DENSE FOGS, which began on the
as to render it dangerous, and often im-
practicable to travel in carriages in and
near London. We have not been enabled
to learn its precise extent; but it seems it
was experienced in nearly an equal degree
at BRISTOL, TAUNTON, aud DUBLIN. It
has been followed by the severest wea-
ther, and deepest fall of snow, known for
thirty years past.

A society was formed last year for visiting and relieving the sick or distressed poor, at their own houses, in the district. of town which lies between Holborn and the New Road. Its first annual Report contains the particulars of several affecting cases of misery which have been relieved by the society's funds, and by the benevolent attentions of the visitors and committee. The place of meeting for business is at St. John's Chapel, Bedford Row. Every district of this great town ought to follow this excellent example.

The CITY of LONDON TRUSS SOCIETY, for the relief of the ruptured poor throughout the kingdom, have relieved in the last year no less than seventeen hundred and ninety-eight persons, afflicted with hernia or rupture, making, a total of patients relieved by the society in the short space of six years, of 6,168.

Suddenly, in Suffolk-street, 71, J. Casamajor, esq.

At Stanwell House, near Staines, T. Raikes, esq. of Upper Grosvenor-street, and formerly governor of the Bank of England.

Universally respected and regretted, 73, John Euston, esq. late a resident in Blandford, Dorset. He was son of the late, and brother of the present vicar of Grantham, in Lincolnshire, and secretary, in two par. liaments, to Sir John Cust, bart. when speaker of the Honse of Commons.

At Chiswick, W. Curtis, esq. surgeon, of extensive practice, and forty years resident in that parish.

In Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell, 51, W. Croke, esq. solicitor. To a strict professional integrity he united the virtues of an exemplary private life, sustaining in the respective duties of a husband, father, and friend, a reputation of unblemished excellence.

At Preshute, near Marlbro', 32, Samuel Taylor, esq. late of Craven-street, Strand, chief clerk and solicitor to the Strand Bridge Company and the Kent Water Works. He was seized with a paralytic stroke, after labouring under illness for some timè past, occasioned by over-exertions and fatigue in his different professional employ

ments,

At Hampton, Middlesex, 87, John Hill man, esq. Nature had bestowed on him great frankness of manners and a benevo. lent heart. The strictest integrity guided all his actions, and in assisting the wauts of

others he enjoyed a satisfaction which no thing could surpass. Many a young man has he assisted with money on entering into business, who will revere his memory with gratitude. The hospitality of his table is well known amongst an extended circle of acquaintance, to many of whom he has be queathed some mark of his esteem. He carried on business many years in co-partnership with the Hon. Thomas Harley, alderman of London, his respect for whom, is marked by a legacy to each of his four daughters. His faithful domestics he ha handsomely provided for, and he has bequeathed to the Marine Society; to the Asylum for Female Orphans; to the Society for the Liberation of Persons imprisoned for Small Debts; to the Bath General Hospital; to the Gloucester General Infirmary; and for the further endowment of the Charity School at Painswick, each 5001. His remains were deposited in the chancel of Hampton church, attended by many of his most intimate and affectionate friends.

At Wimbledon, 76, Mrs. Ann Kelly, formerly of Chelsham. She had been afflicted nearly thirty years, and notwithstanding retained all her faculties to the hour of death. It is remarkable that she died with a complete set of teeth, which had always been peculiarly white and even. On being asked how she preserved them, her answer always was, by keeping them clean, and by the use of cold water every morning. She was charitable beyond her means, and frequently deprived herself not only of the comforts, but even the necessaries of life to assist objects of whose distress she was fully convinced, and this she always endeayoured to do in the most secret manner, A rare and glorious instance of SELF DENIAL, and which we can assure our readers, on the testimony of a respectable correspondent, is no common-place tribute of surviving affection.

In Weymouth-street, Portland-place, 35,Lady Harriet Gill, relict of the late William G. esq. son of Alderman Gill, formerly lord-mayor of the city of London. She was the daughter of the late Earl of Wigtown. Her beauty was uncommon, and her virtues numerons. She possessed manners lively, innocent, but entirely unaffected: also a suavity of temper and disposition, which not eveu the most afflicting illness could alter or discompose. To the indigent aud unfortunate she was charitable and bene. volent; and as a daughter, wife, mother, and a sincere friend, she might be equalled, but could not be excelled. She has left, as heirs of her virtues, five sons and a danghter.

James Hooper, esq. many years a mercer in Bond-street, with great reputation and profit; latterly he had retired and resided in Cheyne-walk, Chelsea: but he died at a friend's residence in the vicinity of Bondstreet.

PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES,

WITH ALL THE MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM.

RE we have ceased (says the editor

For the Tyne Mercury) to announce the receipt of subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the dreadful accident which took place at the Felling colliery about eighteen months ago, the melancholy task has again devolved upon us, of recording another disaster almost equally calamitous: "Last Friday morning, about two o'clock, the foul air in the same colliery by some means took fire, carrying death and destruction to every living creature within the range of its explosion. Nine men, thirteen boys, and twelve horses, fell victims to the fury of the blast; and eight more pitmen were severely scorched, but are likely to recover. Among the deceased, is Wm. Haswell, overman, who was greatly esteemed in the colliery. By this afflicting occurrence, eight widows, and eighteen fatherless children, are become deserving objects of public compassion and benevolence." Let us hope that the society announeed in our last Magazine, will be the happy means of preventing the recurrence of these shocking catastrophes.

Mr. Bakewell, in his late lectures at Leeds, stated the following circumstance, which strongly evinces the benefits which arise from educating the working classes: that, in the coal districts of Northumberland and Durham, accidents are constantly taking place from explosions in the mines, so that not less than 600 persons have been destroyed, in the last two years; but, in one of the mines which was frequently subject to explosions, not ar accident of any consequence had taken place for the last twelve years; the proprietors, besides other precautions, having for a considerable time past educated the children of the miners at their own expence, and given them proper information respecting the nature of the dangers to be avoided.

The small-pox is at present raging with such violence in Alnwick, that no less than four children lately died there of that loathsome disease within one week.
