are loft-At Dublin a moft furious hurricane blew from the North-Weft. It began about 12 o'clock, and raged with increafing fury till next morning, attended by repeated bursts of thunder and lightning, and carrying fuch devaftation as to appal the firmest mind. Numberless chimneys were blown down, and feveral old houfes. In the Liberty particularly, where the habitations are compofed of frail materials, the wretched inmates were frighted from their beds, to take fhelter in the watchhoufes and public buildings. There is fcarcely an houfe in the city which has not suffered more or lefs by injuries to che roof, walls, or chimneys. A young gentleman, son of John Dwyder, Esq. at Meirio -itrect, had a moft providential deliverance; the whole ftack of chimneys fellin upon the bed in which he lay, but he was rotected by the rafters of the roof, which lay acrofs him; and, after being buried for nearly two hours under the rubbish, he wasdug out, with a few flight braifes. Another ftack of chimneys in Merrion-free fell through the whole of the houfe, and overwhelmed a fervant fleeping in the kitchen, who was extricated without farther injury than a bruifed arm. In A gentleman, fuddenly awakened by the form, ran from his bed to the window to look out; at the inftant a whole pile of chimneys fell upon the bed he had just left, and crushed it into the story beneath. the morning the ftreets were threwed with ftones, flates, tiles, and broken laths, the fragments of ruined roofs and walls; feveral trees were torn up by the roots; and, we fear, much dam ge has been fuffered by the shipping in the Channel. In the Bay of Dublin four fhips were run aground, but fince got off, without damage. The point from which the storm came was favourable to our coaft, but must have been very deftructive upon the Welsh shoe. A parapet wall in Merrion-fquare prefented a fingular appearance; it was blown back upon the roof of a houfe, where it lies unbroken and regular as if it had been placed fo by art. The ravages of the ftorm were not confined to the city; the environs fuffered equally; and many trees were torn upon the road leading to Drogheda. DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. This day, appotted for the celebration of the Queen's birth, was obferved at Court with more than common fplendour. Almost every branch of the Royal Family was prefent; and an immenfe concourfe of the Nobility. Our beloved Sovereign, with the truest joy we report, was in high health and excellent fpirits. The Laureat's Ode on the occafion we have given in p. 60. Wednesday, Jan. 20. This day Jofeph Wall, Governor of the GENT. MAC. January, 1802. island of Goree, after a trial at the Old Bailey, which occupied the time of the Court, from 9 in the morning till near f at night, was convicted of the wilful morder of Benjamin Armstrong, a ferjeant in an African corps, by inflicting 800 lathes, of which he died, in the island of Goree, fo long ago as the year 1782. He was or dered for execution on the 220, and afterterward his body to be diffected and anatomized. A refpite was feut on the evening of Jan. 21, accompanied by a notice to the following effe&t:-" You are to give the necellary directions that the fentence fhall be executed on Monday, as no further refpite will be granted."-He was, however, agam refpited till Thursday the 28th; when he was executed purfunt to his fentence. The gallows-hunters behaved with great indecorum, hiffing, groaning, and shouting, even to his very last moments. Mr. Wall was fix feet four inches high, and of a genteel appearance. He behaved with great fleadiness and compoture during his long and pintul trial, which lasted 14 hours. He was 65 years of age, but did not look fo old. He was refpectably connected with feveral families of di tinction in Ireland. His brother, Coun fellor Wall, was a literary gentleman who excited much notice in his day, and was the author of feveral literary productions; but what was moft remarkable was, that he was the first perfon who prefumed to publish Parliamentary Reports with the real names of the fpeakers prefixed. Dr. Johnson (in our Magazine) dreffed them in Roman characters; others gave them as Orators in the fenate of Liliput. Mr. Wall laid the foundation of a practice, which, we troft, for the fake of Parliament, and of the nation, will never be abandoned. Thursday, Jan. 21. The form of last night, and this day, which has been fo general throug: out the United Dominions, was extremely alarming in the Metropol.s. The copper-covering of a gentleman's houfe in Hattongarden, near 60 cwt. was loof ned by the high gale of wind, completely rolled round, and fell to the area with a moft tremendous noite. A feeble erection in Turnmillfect, Clerkenwell, was moftlythrowndown, but no lives ¡olt. In Church-lane, Whitechapel, the root of a house fell down, which cauted great alarm to all the inmates, but no ferious accident otherwife happened. Several crafts and thips in the River started from their moorings. At Limehouse Reach no boats could live on the water. The Cuffnells, Capt. Cotton, which was outward-bound for China direct, and on the point of leaving Gravesend, drove from her moorings, and fuftained fo much da mage, that the will be under the neceffity of going into dock at Black wall.

At the island of St. Martin's, of the yellow fever, John Miller Garnier, ely. commander of his Majesty's frigate Southampton. He was one of thofe who made the voyage of circumnavigation under the direction and command of Capt. Vancouver, and was abfent from his country du ring the space of five years in this adventurous fervice. He was promoted on his return, and was employed as lieutenant on-board the Sans Fareil, under the unfor tunate Lord Hugh Seymour, and with that distinguished admiral failed to the Weft Indies in 1799. There promotion agaip offered itself, and he was appointed to the Hawke floor, which he kept for a time, till a vacancy occurred in a poft-ship, when he was preferred by his amiable and active friend, Sir John Duckworth, to the Southampton frigate. But fuch is the treachery of that climate, that he had scarcely reaped his well-e red honours, and diffused a general joy by his profeffional fuccefles, before Le occafioned to his very refpecta ble family, and to his numerous friends, the moft heartfelt grief that ever am cted the breaft of parent, friend, or brother-officer. This amiable young man, to the knowledge of his profeffion added the accompliments of a gentleman, which rendered him an object of esteem, regard, and affection. Thefe united qualities will long imprint on the minds of the mournful the fad fenfations of departed worth, and contribute to infpire thote with virtue who trive to imitate the actions of a virtuous mind. The premature death of this promifing young man is much aggravated by the melancholy misfortunes of his family, who, during the continuance of the war, have deplored the deaths of three other fons, all of whom had, in their refpective ftations, put forth blooms of future honours, and bade fair to become ornaments to their family, and useful and faithful foldiers to their country. Lieut.-col, Garnier died at St. Domingo in 1795; Lieut. Henry Garnier died at the fame land, of the fame fever, and in the fame year; Capt, Charles Garnier was unfortunately drowned in going to his ship, the Aurora frigate, 1796. They were all fons of George Garnier, efq. of Wickham, Hants, a family well known from their respectability, and their unparalleled, misfortunes in the loss of four amiable fuch fons. In them their parents have loft amiable, attentive, exemplary children; their country, able, active, and enterprifing officers. The heart of a parent cannot but feel and fympathife with the furvivors of this family; nor the eyes of a foldier refufe to fhed a tear on the bier of his brave but unfortunate comrades. The lock of the drawer of a cloaths-prefs, Nov. 10. Murdered, Thomas Barry, efq. of North Frederick-freet, Dublin. On the 13th, George Hepenttal, efq. coroner and magistrate of the county of Dublin, held an inquest on his body; when it appeared that Mr. B. was murdered immediately after dinner; and it is fuppofed that the fervant who removed the cloth gave the opportunity, in opening the parlourdoor, to the barbarian who took away his life. The deceafed was fitting at the table in his parlour, with a decanter of wine, none of which he had drank, and another of water before him, a pair of candles, and a news-paper which he was reading with fpectacles on, when the vilam ftole in upon him, and, with a large pistol, or, more likely, a blunderbufs, loaded with flugs, thot away part of his skull, and dafhed away more of it with the muzzle. It was fo very heavily loaded, that the fhot which killed him, befides tearing away "part of the back of a chair Mr. B. fat on, made a great indention in the wall; his brains were fcattered about, and fome of them were blown up to the cieling of the room. It is fuppofed there were more than one man concerned in the horrid deed. The deceased was laid upon his back, on the floor, after being murdered, and a loaded piftol of his own placed by his fide, with a view, it is fuppofed, to have it understood that he had thot himfelf; but it being charged defeated that intention. The alarm of the murder was first given by the deceased's female fer. vant, Catharine Delany; he had had no other fervant for fome time, having dif charged Francis Reveil, who was accufed of being an accomplice in the foul crime, fome time before; but it appeared to feveral people who came to the house in confequence, that the deceafed must have been killed above two hours before, from the body being in a cold ftate; and fome recollected to have heard a fhot fired about fuch time. Mr. B. was fometimes a little deranged in mind, and he put away Francis Revell, his fervant, at whom he fired a piftol in his yard, for having, as he said, ftrove to poifon him in bread; but that man was feen frequently afterwards going into the boufe in a clandeftine manner. It is fuppofed that, from the time he was murdered until the alarm, the houfe was being plundered; but, as Mr. B. led a reclufe life, it is not known what property may have been loft. His watch was found in his packet; but his purfe was empty, and none of his plate was taken away. 1802.] Obituary, with Anecdotes, of remarkable Perfons. 85 I on the 15th of December, and acquitted; Revell was found guilty, and executed on the 17th. On the morning of his execution, having particularly requested the attendance of Mr. Gamble, the Sacrament was administered to him by that gentleman, affifted by Mr. Stubbs, chaplain of the county prifon; they were joined by Mr. Archer, the infpector; and with thefe perfons he remained in converfation until the theriff's arrival was announced. One expreffion of his indeed was peculiarly forcible: "Had my mafter," faid he, "been a religious man, I should not have felt a tenth part of my prefent forrow; but, wretched murderer that I am, I have fent him into the prefence of God without a moment's preparation." When called on to prepare for the. final fcene, he attended with a degree of compofure equally diftant from confidence and defpondency, afcended to the place of execution, and, after a short exhortation from one of the clergymen, and a few minutes paffed in prayer, he asked permiffion to addrefs the people, and, advancing to the front of the fcaffold, fpoke audibly and firmly to the following effect: "The only reparation I can make to the unfortunate woman who has fuffered fo much by my crimes is, to declare that the is entirely innocent of Mr. Barry's murder; thefe hands fpilled his blood; the guilt is entirely my own. fhall make one farther observation, and I beseech you, for God's fake, to attend to it: let old and young refrain from drinking to excefs, particularly in the forenoon, or elfe the terrible curfe of Almighty God will undoubtedly be the confequence; it is to this practice I owe my deftruction." He then turned with a placid countenance; obferved, that he felt his heart unufually light; prayed fervently to God to shower bleffings on thofe perfons whofe instructions had contributed to bring him to a fenfe of his fituation; and, after uttering the publican's ejaculation, fubmitted to the fentence of the law, evincing the influence of Christianity in fo confpicuous a point of view as would have put Infidelity out of countenance. The unfortunate and 14mented Mr. Barry was of a respectable family in the county of Meath, and had been brought up, it is faid, a wine-cooper in Dublin; his property, which is fuppofed to amount to upwards of 80,000l. was the acquirement of his own induftry. Previous to the late war, he was one of the firm of an eminent houfe at Bourdeaux, viz. Barton, Barry, and Johnfon. Being a zealous loyalift, he quitted the partnership at the breaking out of the war, from fome difference he had with his partner Mr. Johnfon, placed his property in the English funds, and came to Dublin; fome very respectable citizens of which city mention that Mr. Barry, when in Bourdeaux, was diftinguished for hofpitality to his country- 13.
