Cooper, who died 1783. On the 12th instant, his remains were interred in the burying-ground at Winchmore-hill, near thofe of his wife, who died June 7, 1781, in her 70th year; Mr. Jacob Bell speaking a thort time at his grave.

At Downend, co. Gloucester, near Bristol, in his 54th year, Rev. Caleb Evans, D. D. many years prefident of the Baptift Academy, and paftor of the congregation of Protentant Diffenters in Broad-mead, in that city. Though he languished under a very fevere indifpofition for upwards of two months, his death may be pronounced fudden and unexpected. His friends began to flatter themfelves with the hopes of his recovery, when, on the 7th inftant, in the afternoon, a tec vnd paralytic feizure fuddenly rendered him fpecchlefs and infenfible; in which state he continued till he expired.-How pleafingly thofe qualities which recommend and endear the husband, the parent, the Chriftian, the tutor, and the minister, were combined in him, thofe alone can tell who had the happiness of being connected with him in those capacities. He poffeffed an enlarged and liberal, a benevolent and pious mind: and while those individuals and communities with whom he was more particularly connected venerate his memory, and mourn for his death, the sympathy of fociety, wherever he was known, will be excited, and his remove will be confidered as a public lofs. His publications were principally occafional fermons, which are enumerated, from 1771 to 1780, in Cooke's "Hiftorical Reguiter."

10. At Fulham, Mrs. D. Wright, eldeft daughter of the late Sir Martin W.

At his feat at Dean's-court, Wimborne, aged 28, Sir William-Thomas Hanham, bart. The title and ettate devolve to his uncle, the Rev. James H. of the Clofe, Saltbury, rector of Winterborn Zeliton, Dorfet.

11. At Finchley, John Singleton, efq. At Leicester, after a long and affitting illnels, Mrs. Lewin, wife of Mr. L. mace-bearer.

In Leicefter-fquare, James Stuart Tulke, efq; who, though poffetfed of an estate of 5oool. a year, lived with the most avaricious œconomy to the lat. Notwithstanding the extent of the rent of Leicefter-square, Caftle-ftreet, Green-street, &c. which he poffelled at the time of his death, his imagination was alarmed from day to day with the dread of want.

Mr. Lane, grocer, in Bull-ftreet, Birmingham. He fell a facrifice to the excentive fatigue he underwent during the late riots in that town.

12. Much lamented, Mr. Tho. Afhwin, japanner, of Paradife-row, Birmingham. The death of this gentleman (who has left an amiable wife and nine young children to deplore his lofs) was occafioned by a wound he received on the head from one of the rioters, during the unhappy disturbances at that place. And we have to add to this melancholy cata

logue, that a man belonging to a recruitingparty in Bimingham has likewife died, in confequence of the injuries he at that time received.

Mifs Robinfon.

While walking in the

fields adjoining Long-bank, in Leeds, the was fuddenly feized with an apoplectic fit, and died immediately.

He was the eldest furviving fon of B. B. efq. who died Sept. 8, 1799; and married, to ius first wife, Sarah daughter of Mr. Samuel Richards, merchant of London, who died Jan. 0, 1772, by whom he had iffue two fons, Benjamin and Samuel, of whom Benjamin died in 1770; to his fecond, Amelia daughter of Mr. Hatfield, of Manchester, who died in 1776, and by whom he had two fons, John, who died in 1778, and Thomas, furviving, and one daughter, Mary, who died in 1776; and to his third, Sept. 6, 1780, Mifs Petrie, eldest daughter of Mr. P. merchant, by whom he had no iffue.-His remains were depofited with thofe of his relatives abovementioned in the family vault in Enfield church on the 24th. His extenfive fortune was not more difplayed in the fplendour of his hofpitality than in the largenefs of his beneficence. Diftrefs found no occafion to repeat, a fecond time, its fad tale at his door; and fcarcely any of our numerous inftitutions for the relief of human affliction prefented their claims to fociety, but they found in him a liberal fupport. His manners were untainted by pride, and his temper unruffled by afperity. He bore, for many years, a feries of illhealth without repining. He felt his gradual decline without a nurmur; and though he fuffered extreme agony before his diffolution, yet it was the agony of the body at its feparation from a foul like his. Words will not exprefs his merit; it ftill lives in the remembrance

He has left iffue only one daughter, married to Lieut. col. Haftings, His character was that of a truly refpectable country gentleman. He lived upon his eftate at Willefey, the whole lordthip of which he owned; was a good husband, a good father, a good mafter, and a good landlord: fincere and warm in his attachment to his friends, liberal in his benefactions to the poor, and ftrictly just in his dealings with all men. It was of this gentle man Mr. Thicknesse speaks, when he fays, "The comfortable feat of Mr. Abney fhould be particularly noticed, not only for the house, but the good old man, his fon, and the wife. It is a maison carrée, has extensive views each way, but the poffeffor fees no man's land but his own; and all his farm-houses too are as well formed as his own. An hofpitable table once covered, and in the comfortable ftyle of our forefathers, made me think myfelf 150 years back." See Mr. Nichols's Leicester

herself for the awful stroke of his Lordship's diffolution, no fooner did that period arrive, than the became a prey to the most agonizing forrow, which very fhortly brought on a diforder that terminated her life.

James Sutherland, efq. late judge-advocate of the Court of Admiralty at MinorcaWhile the King was paffing from the Queen's houfe to the levee at St. James's, about one o'clock in the afternoon, this unfortunate gentleman placed himself close to the rails of the Green-park, and fhot himself in the breaft with a piftol, in the hearing, and almost in the prefence, of his Majesty. A green filk purfe, containing two pence in halfpence and a fixpence, a fnuff-box, and a white pocket-handkerchief, were all that were found in his pockets. The body was conveyed to St. Martin's workhoufe; and the coroner's inqueft was taken at the BarnMeufe, a public-houfe in St. Martin's-lane, where, after a fitting of four hours, the jury humanely brought in a verdict of Lunacy.

Westminster. When he shot himself he held a letter in his hand, addreffed "To the Coroner who shall take an Inqueft on James Sutherland," and which contained a fhort statement of his cafe, a letter to the King, and an extract of one which he fent fome time ago to Mr. Pitt; all of which, with a character of him, and verfes to his memory, must be deferred till our next.

Mrs. G. was the daughter of that eminent comedian Mr. Hippelley, the predeceffor of Yates and Shuter. She began her career on the stage of Goodman's-fields playhoufe, about the time that Mr. Garrick commenced the profetion of an actor. She was married to Henry Green, efq. who died fome few years fince, purfer of the Namur, a 90gun fhip. After a painfu! @ruggle with Nature for eight weeks, Mrs. G. (having completed her 72d year) was carried off by a mortification in her limbs, which age and imbecillity, occafioned by illness, and a leng courfe of medicine, rendered it out of the power of Art to stop. In private life, Mrs. G. was an affectionate wife, a tender parent, and a steady friend. She has left be ind her two fons, the elder a captain of marine, the younger at prefent unprovided for. As an a Arefs, we have no one performer, on either of our stages, equal to Mrs. Green in the termogants, and few in the pert chambermaids, and various other comic and farcical characters. She was the powerful rival of Clive, in the best days of Kitty's powers; and, as long as the continued on the stage, was defervedly a great favourite with the publick. She quitted Covent garden theatre a few years fince, on a pique, occafioned by fome difference with the manager; and has ever fince refiled in a small house of her own near Jacob's Well, Briftol, which her father built when proprietor of the adjoining
