mon Hall, disregarding all attempts and designs of interested and corrupt hirelings, who derive emoluments from the national burthens, to impute unworthy and disloyal mo. tives to those who resist unprincipled and dangerous encroachments upon their established rights, are determined, to the utmost of their power, to maintain them against those evil Counsellers, who have thus raised a barrier between the King and the People, and thereby prevented their just complaints from reaching the Royal ear. 7. Resolved, That the following instructions be given to our Representatives in Parliament: -Gentlemen, You are hereby instructed to move in the House of Commons (or support such motion if moved) for an humble Address to his Majesty, praying for an imme diate and rigid inquiry into the course of the unexampled failures and disasters which have attended our late Expeditions to Spain, Por-tugal, and Holland, whereby the blood and treasure of the country have been shamefully sacrificed, without rendering any effectual. assistance to our allies, checking the progress of the enemy, or tending to the glory or security of his Majesty's crown and dominions. You are also instructed to support all motions which have for their object inquiry into the violation of the right of petitioning-into the wasteful expenditure of the public money the correction of public abuses-the abo lition of all unnecessary places and pensions the shortening of the duration of Parlia ments, and restoring them to their constitutional purity and independence, as the only means of retrieving our public affairs, and enabling this country succesfully to contend against surrouncing nations. 8. Resolved unanimously, That the Sheriffs, attended by Mr. Remembrancer, do forthwith wait upon his Majesty, and deliver into his Majesty's hand, in the name of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery of London, a fair copy of the foregoing Resolutions, signed by the Town Clerk 9. Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, for his independent behaviour upon all occasions, and particularly for his conduct this day. 10. Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to Sheriff Wood, for his general conduct, and for his having requested an audience of his Majesty, agreeable to the instructions of this Hall. Resolved unanimously, That the Resolu tions of this day, together with the Petition agreed upon on the 14th day of December last, be signed by the Town Clerk, and published in the Morning papers.

There have been executed in the city of London and county of Surry, 16, of which number six only have been reported to be buried (as such) within the bills of morta lity. Within a few years the bed of the River Thames has altered so much at Woolwich, that where a line-of-battle ship formerly floated, with many of her stores on board, a frigate, with nothing in her, will now ground; and, notwithstanding 120,000 tons The number of fires, exclusive of chimneys, in London, from January 1, to Decem ber 31, 1809, is as follows:In quarter ending March 31 .... 73 .... 77 .... 58 June 80 293 The new renters of Drury-lane Theatre This is the greatest quantity ever brewed within the above period in any one brewery, have agreed to the reduction of their annuities one-half on the rebuilding of the theatre, and have also come to the resolution of making a deposit of 10.0001, in addition to the insurance-money, in order to set the work in motion. It is said, that the proprietors, with the concurrence of the trustees and new renters, have resolved, that the new theatre shall not be built upon too large a scale; but that the size shall be between that of the old theatre, and that which was built by Mr Holland. It is in fact intended, that it shall hold no more than 5001: and conse quently the expense of condu ting it, as well as the ere tion, will se proportionally light. On the 1st of January, about eleven p'clock at right, a dreadful fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Pocock, a coal and timber merchant, at Whitefriars Wharf, between Black riats-bridge and the Temple. Those extensive premises were soon completely in times, and continue, burning until the whole of their valuable contents, consisting of immense pises of couls and timber, were entirely consumed. The extensive range of stabling, belonging to Mr. Pocock, and seve ral valuable hores also, shared the same rate. The greatest apprehensions were entertained for the houses which surround the timberyard, but they escaped destruction, though not without considerapie amage. The great heat which this immense body of fire threw out, prevented the engines from approaching near enough to produce any effect. Some apprehensions were entertained for the Grand Junction Canal Store-house, and, even in the Inner Temple several engines were brought down to the bottom of King's Bench Walk, under the idea that the fire might possibly extend to that quarter. The fire consumed Bear 30,0001, worth of timber, 70001. of which had been landed but a few days before, and was not insured. Of eighteen horses, only seven were saved. A large elegant building has lately been completed near the west gate of the Tower, for excise-officers, for the better accommodation of the inercantile interest, as being contiguous to the Custom house. The new Blint, to the gast of the Tower, is nearly completed; from which a grand opening is to be made, to afford a view of Trinity$quare. MARRIED.

In Stanhope-street, Vice-Admiral Dacres. Chancery-lane. In Hill street, Perkeley-square, Sir Henry Strachey, master of the King's Household." In Abingdon street, Mrs. Ashley, relict of the late, and mother of the present, manager of the oratorios. Mrs. Barlow, relict of Francis B. esq. of the Crown Office, 79. In Mansion Hous--street, Henry Jones, man, esq. In Charterhouse-squee, Mrs Bridges. In Duke-street, Grosvenor square, Caven Delane, esq. At Ealing Barrs, Charles Roberts, esq. 20. At Walthamstow, John Allen, esq. 69. In St. Paul's Church-yard, Mrs. Baker, wife - of John B. esq. At Lambeth, Mrs. Northcote, relict of Henry N. esq. In Newman-street, J. D. Engleheart, esq. In Bell's Buildings, Salisbury-square, John Barton, esq jun. solicitor, 38. In John-street, Bedford-row, in his 68th year, Nathamel Newnham, esq. Alderman of the city of London, and Colonel of the West London Militia. His abilities, integrity, and manly firmness of character, early brought him into public life, and raised him to situations of the highest trust and dignity in the city. In 1774, he was chosen alderman of the Vintry Ward; in 1776 he served the of-fice of sheriff; in 1780, he was returned one of the members for the city; in 1783, he was chosen Lord Mayor; in 1784, he was again returned for the city of London; and in the next Farliament he sat for Ludgershal, in Wiltshire. He afterwards withdrew entirely from parliamentary business, and divided his attention between his regiment and the extensive concerns of his banking-house. He was likewise president of St. Thomas's Hospital, and at the time of his death was serving, for the second time, as master to the Mercers' Company.. How greatly he vas respected in his public capacity, the above facts of themselves declare; in every relation of domestic life he was endeared by his sweetness of disposition, his generosity, his benevolence, and the warmth and steadiness of his attachments. Few men ever lived more beloved, or died na e egretted. Π At Ham Common, Alary, Countess of Courtown, wife to the Earl of Courtown, and daughter and co-heiress of Richard Powys, q. of Hintlesham Hall, in Suffolk, by Lady Mary Brundenell, sister of the late Duke of Montague. She has left issue, Viscount Stopford, Comptroller of the King's Household, and three other sons. Mr. Levi, a diamond and pearl merchant, of Haydon-square. He threw himself from the top of the Monument, and was dashed to pieces. It appears that he went to the person who has the charge of the Monument, and said he expected to meet three ladies there; after waiting some time, he paid his money, and said he would go up, and requested he would send the ladies to him. In a few minutes the keeper found he had thrown himself from the top. Mr. Levi had been on 'Change about eleven o'clock, perfectly well, and had made appointments with several gentlemen to meet them in the afternoon. He walked several times round the outside of the iron railing before he sprang off, and infalling, the body turned over and over before it reached the ground. When near the bottom, it came in contact with one of the griffins which ornament the lower part of the building. He alighted at last on his head, in Monumentyard, and expired without a groan. A convulsive motion of the shoulders was all the appearance of life the body exhibited, when approached immediately after the fall. His head was terribly shattered, and the brain protruded at different parts. The face was so much disfigured, that he was with difficulty recognised. The immediate cause of the act is supposed to have been a failure in a commercial speculation. His age was about 45, and his character very respectable. Mrs. Catharine Arnold, of the Commercial Road, relict of Mr. William A. late of St. George's in the East. She was exemplary as a wife, widow, and friend; and remarkable for strength of mind, power of memory, and acuteness in discriminating characters. At the house of Messrs. M'Andrews and Co. in Thame -street, Mr. William Shirley, of Crosby-row, Walworth. Mr. Shirley left home in the mo ning in his usual state of health: having business to transact at the house of Messrs. M'Ahdrews and Co. he was there seized with a violent* complaint in the stomach, and had scarcely reached the dining room when he suddenly expire. It is not possible, in the small space allotted to this notice, to do justice to the excellent character of the individual whose death it records. His memory will be prpetuated in the hearts of his relatives and friends. Integrity of mind, and amiableness of manners, were never more strikingly displayed than in the life of Mr. Shirley. In Wells-street, Oxford-street, Tiberius Cavallo, esq. F.R.S. This gentleman was the son of an eminent physician of Naples, where he was born in the year 1749. His original destination was to be initiated at London into a mercantile profession; and he came to Eng land with that view in the year 1771. But 1 the |
