At the Wheatsheaf-inn, near the 
Virginia-water, in Windsor Great- 
park, aged 46, Joseph Richardson, 
esq. M.P. for Newport, in Corn- 
wall, and one of the proprietors; of 
Drury-lane theatre. He was suds 
denly taken ul the night before ; 
medica] assistance was soon procur- 
ed, but in yain, for he expired in 
the afternoon of the next day.— 
Within the last three or four years 
he had suffered several severe shocks, 
by the rupture of a blood-yessel ; 
but it-was hoped that the natural yi- 
gour of his constitution would have 
triumphed. He originally came 
from Hexham, in Northumberland ; 
and was entered at St. John’s-col-« 
lege, Cambridge, in 1774. Dr. 
Ferris, the present dean of Bath, 
and doétor Pearce, now dean of 
Ely, were his tutors at the univer- 
sity. Under the superintendance of 
those two excellent scholars, Mr. R, 
acquired sound learning and a_ cor- 
rect taste. He possessed, indeed, 
an excellent understanding, and a 
sort of intuitive knowledge of man- 
kind. He distinguished himself, at 
college, by the elegance, beauty, and 
vigour of his prose and poetical 
compositions ; a love of the muses, 
very early in life, took possession of 
his mind, and often interfered with 
the laberious duties of his studies, 
He entered himself a. student of the 
Middle Temple, in 1779, and was 
called to the bar in 1784. Literary 
pursuits and political connexions 
took uptoo much of his time to admit 
of his pursuing, with sufficient dili- 
gence, the study of the law ; other- 
wise, it is highly probable, he would 
have become a distinguished orna- 
ment of the bar. The chief works
