he had put the piftol into his mouth; 
he had another in his pocket, load- 
ed; and, by every account, it is 
obvious that he had made prepara-_ 
tions for this violent aét; had paid 
the few bills thathe owed, and had 
converfed in a way that gave his 
acquaintance reafon to believe that 
he had for feveral days deliberated 
upon the fuicide he a¢complifhed. 
The coroner’s inqueft, on the clear-

His Lordfhip’s remains 
were conveyed, on the 22d, to 
St. James’s chapel in ‘Tottenham-

At his houfe in Derby, aged fixty- 
three, Jofeph Wright, Efq. long 
held in high eftimation throughout 
Europe as a chafte and elegant 
painter. He was.a pupil of Hud- 
fon. Mr. Wright’s early hiftorical 
pictures may be confidered as” the 
firft valuable productions of the 
Ienglifh fchool. His attention was 
afterwards directed, for fome years, 
to portrait-painting ; but his ge. 
nius was not to be circumfcribed 
within fuch narrow limits; and 
therefore, at a mature age, he vifit- 
ed Italy, to ftudy the precious re- 
‘mains of art which that country 
poffefled. His fine drawings, after’ 
Michael Angelo, and the enthufiafm 
with which he always {poke of the 
fublime original, evinced the efti- 
mation in which he ‘held them; 
and, from their extreme accuracy, 
they may be confidered as faithful 
delineations of the treafures of the 
Capella Seftina, and fuch as have. 
never yet been exhibited to the 
public. - During his abode in Italy 
he had-an opportunity of feeing a 
very memorable eruption of Veiu-. 
vius, which rekindled his inclina-: 
tion for painting’ extraordinary ef- 
fects of light: and his different 
pictures
