Died.} At Dublin, L. Quin, efq, a gen- 
tleman well known in the fafhionable circles 
of that metropolis. He puta period to his 
life by fhooting himfelf through the 
heart with a piftol ashe lay in bed. He 
‘quitted a party at Lady Glandore’s at two in 
the morning, and appeared afterwards in good 
{pirits at the Kildare-ftreet club-houfe. Mr, 
Quin was very remarkable for his tafte for 
fcarce books, of which he poflefled a moft va- 
luable colle€tion. ‘This gentleman was a 
melancholy inftance of the fatal efteéts of the 
ennui into which an ative mind is apt to fink 
from the want of a folid and rational employ- 
ment fuited to its powers. He inherited 
from his father an eftate of five hundred 
pounds a-year, which, added to a place of 
eight hundred pounds a-year in the Caftle of 
Dublin, put him in pofleffion of ample means, 
if it be confidered that he had no family, and 
was not of expenfive habits. He befpoke 
the cafe of piftols, with one of which he thot 
himfelf, a few days before the fatal event, 
and was very particular in his dire€tions that 
they fhould be of the largeft bore. The dall 
peffed through his heart, through the bed, 
and lodged in the wall at the bedfide. The 
report of the piftol was not heard by any of 
the domeftics, and his death was neither 
_known nor fufpeéted until the next morning, 
when his elder brother called on bufinefs 5 
and, having entered the bedchamber, found 
him dead, and exaétly in that ftate which juf- 
tified the conclufion that he never moved 
after he fired. He had often lamentedinthe 
courfe of his life, that he had not heen 
brought up to a profeffion, but had never be- 
trayed any fymptoms of a difordered mind.— 
The jury, under/thefe circum ftances, brought 
in a verdiét of—Snicide. At the time of his 
death he had one thoufand pounds in his 
banker’s hands. 
Of an apopledtic feizure, in the prime of 
life, Mr. John Edwin, of the Theatre Royal, 
Doblin, and many years a favourite comedian 
ef the Bath and Briftol theatres. He was a 
native of Bath; and had his affiduity kept 
pace with his abilities, he would have rifen 
to great eminence in his profeflion. He had 
feceived a more than tolerably good educas 
Treland.—Deaths Abroad, 
[April f, 
tion ; was well grounded in hiftory and geo- 
graphy, and a mafter of the lighter accom- 
plifhments of mufic, dancing, fencing, &c.—= 
His death was fuppofed to have been accele- 
rated by the abufe which had been illiberally 
beftowed upon him in fome dramatic ftric- 
tures, intitled, *¢ Familiar Epiftles.” As a 
compliment to his memory, Mr. Jones, the 
manager, fhut the theatre in the evenings 
confcious that his brother-aétors, who held 
him in great efteem, would be unequal te 
perform. He was to have fuftained the prin- 
cipal part in the new play of the School for 
Reform, on the above evening. *¢ Asa man 
(fays the Dublin Journal), he was, we be-. 
lieve, moft eftimable; he had received a good 
education, under the care of his father, the 
fo much admired comedian; he was beloved by 
his acquaintance, and is fincerely lamented by 
his affliéted his widow. , Mrs. Edwin, though 
but lately introduced in this country, is now 
the proudeft ornament of our theatre as a 
comic acttefs : a very few weeks have pafled 
fince fhe arrived in Dublin in the company 
with her hufband: fhe was received by the 
public with the moft rapturous applaufe, and 
the faireft views of profperity were open to 
her talents : ‘fhe is now a forlorn widow in 
aland of ftrangers ; but of ftrangers who 
have never permitted the tears of the widow 
to flow, while benevolence had a charm to 
footh or foften her forrow.”

month after he had fucceeded to the title, on 
the deceafe of his nephew. ball 
Jofeph Walker, efq. formerly an eminent 
printer, and many years proprietor of the Hie 
bernian Magazine. 
At his feat inthe county of Antrim, Clot- 
worthy Skeffington, Earl of Maflaregne, Vif- 
count Maflareene, and Baron of Loughreagh; 
This nobleman was many years confined in ~ 
the Baftille at Paris, and effected his efcape 
in 1789 by marrying Mademoifelle Marie 
Anne Barrier, daughter of the Governor, who, 
with her fifter and her hufband, became the 
partners of his flight, and accompanied him 
to Ireland. His Lordthip was diftinguifhed 
for many eccentricities. From his long refi- 
dence in the Baftille, he contraéted a habit of 
fleeping on a mattrafs on the floor, and, after 
his return to Ireland, continued it, her Lady- 
fhip re{ting on a down bed in the fame apart 
ment. But this was not the only circume 
{tance in which they difagreed ; and at length 
a feparation took place. His Lordfhip was in 
his 63d year, and is fucceeded in his title ané 
eftates by his brother, the Hon, Colonel Skef= 
fington. 
DEATHS AT GIBRALTAR. 
Extraét of a letter from a gentleman at 
Gibraltar, dated January 31, 1805.—<* En- 
clofed I fend you a lift of the military and 
principal Britifh inhabitants who were carried 
off by the late epidemical fever: it is, I 
believe, correct, as far as it goes, and in- 
cludes all the Britith in tefpectable fituations.
