ly very ill, at the corner of , Bur-

cept a younger sister, who was in-

by her alarming situation, Miss G. 
ran out of the house; but, unfortu- 
nately, no one was at that instant 
on the spot; and whenshe again en- 
tered, and flew to an appartmentin 
which Mr. Bankes of Salisbury was 
on business, she was entirely enve- 
lopedin flames; and though Mr. 
B. used every exertion, with the as- 
sistance of two, servants, to extin- 
guish them, and were much burnt,

cloaths were nearly consumed. She 
bore her sufferings with fortitude

Andrew Newton, esq. brother of 
the late Jearned and pious Dr.

The property of this gentleman, 
which was considerable, was em- 
ployed, to aliberal extent, in private 
acts of charity and beneficence, 
known only to the immediate ob- 
jects of his kindness. In a more 
public and more lasting point of 
view, the noble institution which he 
founded some years ago at Lichfield, 
for the widows of clergymen, and 
for their unmarried daughters above 
the age of 50, will sufficiently dis. 
tinguish his name and perpetuate his 
memory. He gave, for the purpose 
above-mentioned, the sum of 20,0002, 
during his life !
