CHRONICLE. 
_ The family had received repeated 
warnings by the excessive heat, 
which had more than once threaten- 
ed such consequences. 
At East Bourne, a carter who had 
come with a team from Rye, to take 
away the theatrical luggage belong- 
ing to Messrs. Jonas and Penly, 
looking after his horses, received a 
kick on his head from one of them, 
that dashed out his braios, although 
he was well acquainted with the vice 
of the animal, and had, in conse- 
quence, but a few minutes before he 
met the fatal accident, cautioned a 
stranger in the stable not to go near 
him, 
15th. This day a post-chaise was 
hired at the King’s Arms Inn, in 
Salisbury, to go beyond Colling- 
bourne. After setting down his 
fare, the driver was returning at 
night towards Collingbourne, a 
dreary road, with which he was un- 
acquainted, and it was so dark as 
to make it impossible to see the road. 
Thus situated, he unfortunately 
drove over a precipice, at the bot- 
tom of which he was found dead the 
next morning. The chaise was near- 
ly broken to pieces, and the horses 
so much hurt as to render them 
nearly useless, 
A poor woman named Gibbs, of 
Sheffield, passing lately through 
_ Anglis-lane, Coventry, with her in- 
fant in her arms, six months old, fell 
into the mill-dams, and both were 
_ drowned. 
17th. Late at night, or early the 
next morning, the chapel belonging 
to Greenwich hospital was broke 
open. ‘The strong outer door had 
been forced, as well as the inner 
one, whichis of solid mahogany, 
nearfour inches thick, and which, 
we understand, cost 5001. the vestry 
door was likewise broke open, and

the iron chest, in which the sacrament 
plate is deposited, had been at- 
tempted, in which act it was sup- 
posed the villains broke their iron 
crow, as part of one was found near 
it, and there is no doubt but the 
plate was their object : they, how- 
ever, made off with two of the 
minister’s surplices, the sacrament 
linen, and the gold sconces be- 
longing to the pulpit and reading 
desk. t 
18th. In the court of king’s 
bench, Mr. Garrow moved for leave 
to file a criminal information against 
a Mr. Ambrose Charles, one of the 
clerks of the bank, fora libel, con- 
tained in a letter addressed by him 
to lord Grenville, reflecting upon 
the character of lord Moira. The 
specific charge contained in the letter 
was, that earl Moira, availing him- 
self of his official situation, had 
gambled.in the funds, through his 
agents, and most imprudently lent 
his name to the most important dis- 
coveries of secrets atlecting the 
state. The earl of Moira, in his 
affidavit, directly negatived all the 
imputations laid to his charge, and 
asserted, that he never had divulged 
any of the secrets of government.— 
The Jetter of Mr. Charles was dated 
the 17th of last August.—Rule to 
show cause granted. 
Louru.— The officers of the 
Louth volunteer infantry feel them- 
selves called upon, however reluc- 
tantly, to adopt and make public 
the following resolutions, in conse- 
quence of the unpleasant state of 
the finances of the corps. They say 
reluctantly, not from any regret at 
relinquishing their military titles, 
rendered almost ridiculous by Mr. 
Windham’s sarcastic observations, 
therefore not desirable ; but from a 
conviction that their country is not
