Corbett, ef. late.a captain in the Oxford. Blues. 
Be. put a periad to his life by fhooting himfelf. 
From the fatement of the witnefies who were 
examined onthe inquef, it appeared that Mr. 
Corbett had for feveral moat 
jeGted fate, that -he went out an the morning 
‘the fatal deed was committed, and returned 
home to breakfaft . On his return, he wrote 
‘a letter to Lord Lucie, which he ordeted bis 
fervant to put into the poft-office; but the lat- 
ter had fearcely left the room, when he heard 
the report of a piftel. He inftantly turned 
back, and found his mafter on the. ground, 
bis feull fhattered to pieces, and the floor co- 
wered with blood. A horfe-piftol was lying 
by his fide, which he mutt have ‘purchafed 
‘that morning, as great care was taken that no 
‘deftruétive weapons fhould be left in the way, 
enaccount ef the vilible depreffion under which 
he laboured. By the injury done to the room 
there mutt have been fevcral balls in the pif- 
tol; two pieces of the fkul+ were blown 
through a pane of the window, the curtain of 
which he had previoully draw m, to the oppo- 
fite fide of the fireet. The jury brough: in 
a verdiét of lunacy. Mr. Corbett was about 
Go years. of age, unmarried, and is faid to have 
pofleffed an income of €,o-o]. per annum. 
“Im Madox-ftreet, Foon D. O’ Leary, ¢fg.

At. his houfe, in. Wimpole- Rreet,) Admiral 
‘Milbank, As-he was leaning over the bannif-" 
‘ter of the ftair-cafe, he unfortunately fell in- 
tothe veftibule. A furgeon was inftantly 
fent for; but before he arrived, the admiral 
had expired. He was in his-32d year, and 
more than 70 years of this iong lifé had-been 
devoted to-the naval fervice, into which he 
fir entered in the year 1734. - 
At his houfe, at Pentonville, aged 79, AZr. 
Thomas Vernon. For many years he was fub- 
jet Cwith very fhort intervals of eafe) toa 
moft excruciating fpafmodic affeftion of the 
mufcles of the face, which baffled the {kill of 
‘the phyficians of eminence. Perhaps few 
men ever fuffered more from difeafe, or en- 
Gured it, with equal fortitude. 
Mr, Foote, a partner in the firm of Martin 
Deaths in and itear* London: 
hs been in ade- 
[July ts 
, and Cos of Lombard-ftreet, bankers. He felf 
a facrifice to his paffion | for failing, of which 
fcience’ he’ wa$ confidered as one of the firft- 
rate amateurs. He had juft got a new plea- 
“fure-boat built, one of the moft elegant of the 
day, and, accompanied by his fiter and two 
fervants, went to Gravefend, to indulge in, 
his favourite amufement They embarked, as 
ufual, and failed up and down, under the mot 
flattering au{pices of wind and weather; wheny 
on #ruddes a breeze from the land upfet the 
- boat, which inftantly fank, and Mr. Foote is 
fuppofed to have remained under it. Mifs 
Foote was buoyed up by her cloaths, and 
floated upon thé water until fhe was taken ups. 
in a ftate of infenfibility. The fervants were 
alfo faved. Mr. Foote'was a very handfome and 
very amiable young man, about twenty-eight 
years of age, and brother to Captain Foote, 
of the royal navy... He tras very athletic, and 
conlidered the beft amateur rower on the river. 
His body was not found till fome days after- 
wards, when ‘it was picked up by two water= 
men‘of Gravyefend. 
At his houfe in the country, Mr. Clement-. 
for, late deputy: ferjeant at arms, He had 
been in perfett health the day before, and

and retired to bed about eléven o’clock, Soon 
afterwards he was feized with an apopleétic 
fit, and died in’a few hours.

At his heufe in Piccadilly, aged 85, Sir

Shrewlbury, in feven fucceflive parliaments. 
His name was originally Johnftane, and he 
practifed at the Scotch Bar. By his marriage 
with the heirefs of the houfe of Pulteney, be 
became pofictted of a very large fortune, which 
was not likely to be diminithed im his hanas, 
and he was then induced to take the name of 
Pulteney. He was a ufeful and intelligent 
fpeaker in parliament, though by no mieans a 
graceful and eloquent orator. What he faid, 
however, always contained fubftantial matter, 
and was marked by plain fenie. His vait for- 
‘tune placed him above the ufual temptations 
by which public men are tuo often led to con- 
vince the world that their prerenfions to patri« 
otifm are founded merely in felf-intereit. He 
was, therefore, occafionally, a fupporter and - 
an oppofer of the meafures of adminiftration, 
and might be fiid to hold an independent cha- 
raGter. He. was, however, on the whole, te 
be confidered as a friend to governmenty 
He married for the fecond time, in 3 
the widow of the celebrated Andrew St
