Between the hours of five and six o’clock, 
on the 27th of December, 2a fire was disco- 
veredat Escott, near Honiton, the beautiful 
and highly improved seat of Sir John Ken- 
naway, bart. occasioned by the carclessness 
of a servant leaving a candle in 4 dressing- 
room, which communicated to the window- 
curtains. The family with a number of visi- 
tors were at dinner- when the alarm was 
given, and so rapid were the flames, that the 
mansion, together with the whole of the very 
superb and elegant furniture, valuable paint- 
ings, &c. was entirely destroyed, nothing 
being saved from the devouring element but 
the jewels, plate, and papers. A farmer of 
the name of Pyle, while laudably rendering 
his assistance, fell from a ladder, and was un- 
fortunately killed.

At Lympstone, whither he went. for the 
recovery of his health, J. J. Grellier, esq. 
severa] years secretary AG the Royal Exchange 
Insurance Office, London. To this gentle- 
man, the Monthly Magazine has been in- 
debted for many valuable papers on political 
arithmetic, and other important subjects: 
He was an able mathematician, and an ex- 
cellent writer. For Dr. Gregory’s Dictionary 
of Arts and Sciences, he furnished a large 
number of articles, which exhibit.a sound 
judgment ; powers of correct reasoning, and a 
vast store of general knowledge. During the 
last two years, he was a contributor to the 
Rev. Dr. Rees’s New Cyclopedia, and per- 
haps almost one of his last efforts was the 
drawing up a short article for that work. In 
the volume that is yet unpublished, will be 
found among other articles from the pen of 
Mr. Grellier, one on the docks, that will be 
read with interest... In che office in which 
the greater part of his time was spent, he was 
highly respected for a most diligent attentién 
to the various duties of his station ; 
curacy in business, for his strict and undevi- 
ating integrity, and for the amiableness of his 
manners. As a husband, a father, and a 
friend, his loss will be long and severely felt. 
In every relation of life, he was beloved while 
living, and those who were best’ acquainted 
with his virtues and talents, will most and 
longest revere his memory.
