trherc she had been some time for 

 the benefit of her health, Miss 

 Georgina Hunloke, daughter of the 

 late sir Henry H. bart. 



14th. At Irnham, co. Lincoln, 

 after a long and painful illness, the 

 hon. Maria Christiana Arundel), 

 eldest daughter of the right hon. 

 lord Arundell, of Wardour, and 

 •wife of J. E. Arundell, esq. of Irn- 

 liam. She was born Aug. 10, 1764. 



At his house in Orchard-street, 

 Portman-square, regretted by all 

 ■who had the honour of his ac 

 quaintance, general Stephenson. 



15th. At Aylcsford, in Kent, 

 Charlotte dowager countess of 

 Aylcsford, youngest daughter of 

 Charles duke of Somerset. She 

 was married to Hcneage, late earl of 

 Aylcsford, October 6, 1730, and 

 bore him eight sons. 



At Castle Grant, in Scotland, 

 lady Grant, of Grant. 



I6th. Mr. Henry Quin, a gentle- 

 man well known in the fashion- 

 able circles of Dublin, shot himself 

 through the b«^rt with a pistol as he 

 lay in bed. He quitted a party at 

 ladyGlandore's at two this morning, 

 and appeared afterwards in good 

 spirits at the Kildare-street Club- 

 house. No reason has been assigned 

 for this fatal act. Mr, Q. was re- 

 markable for his taste for scarce 

 books, of which he possessed a 

 most valuable collection. lie was" 

 son of the late Dr. Quin, and brother 

 -of lady Monk ; and is a melancholy 

 instance of the fatal effects of that 

 ennui into which an active mind is 

 apt to sink from the want of a solid 

 and rational employment suited to 

 its powers. He inherited from his 

 father an estate of 5001. a year; 

 which, added to a place of SOOl. a 

 year in the castle of Dublin, put 

 him in possession of ample means;

if it be considtercd that he had no 

 family, and was not of expensive 

 habits. He bespoke the case of 

 pistols, with one of which he shot 

 himself, a few days before the fatal 

 event, and was very jmrticular ia 

 his directions that they should be of 

 the largest bore. The ball passed 

 through his heart, through the bed, 

 and lodged in the wall at the bed- 

 side. The report of the pistol was 

 not heard by any of the domestics, 

 and his death was neither known 

 nor suspected until the next morn- 

 ing, when his elder brother called 

 on business ; and, having entered 

 the bed-chamber, found him dead, 

 and in a state which justified the 

 conclusion that he never moved after 

 the shot. He had often lamented, 

 in the course of his life, that he had 

 not been brought up to a profession, 

 but had never betrayed any symp- 

 toms of a disordered mind. The 

 Jury, under these circumstances, 

 brought in a verdict of suicide. At 

 the time of his death he had 10001. 

 in his banker's hands. 



17th. At his house in Queen-street, 

 Edinburgh, sir James Stirling, bart.

 and rev. Richard B. 



While standing in St. Gregory's 

 church-yard, Norwich, Mr. J. 

 Franklin, a respectable inhabitant 

 of that city. During this awful 

 event, one of the most infamous rob- 

 beries was committed which ever 

 disgraced the annals of human de- 

 pravity. At the moment the young 

 man was sinking into eternity some 

 villain plundered him of a pair of 

 twill bags, containing property to a 

 considerable amount, with which he 

 got oiT.
