his deceafe, when every part of St. Peter’s 
Mancroft church was ctowdéd, to hear the 
fermon preached on the occafion of his death. 
Many of the congregation appeared in mourn-

and imprefiive difcourfe was delivered by the 
Rev. C. J. Chapman, from the following af-

which, there is every reafon to believe, the

chofen, had his health and ftrength enabled 
him to have taken his final leave of his flock 
from that place, and which it. was his earneft

of-one mind, live in peace 3; and the God of 
love and peace fhall be with you.’” The pa-

ESSEX. 
- A fire, attended with moft calamitous cir- 
cumitances, broke cut on Monday evening, Oct. 
22, in one of the ftables at the Spotted Dog 
inn, at Chelmsford. Several hundred Hanove- 
rian foldiers halted that night in the town and 
its vicinity, and from the great numbers bil- 
leted om the inn-keepcrs, they were com- 
pelled to lodge them in ftables and out-houfes. 
Thofe quartered at the Spotted Dog had re- 
tired to a ftable allotted them, with their 
Pipes, and, it is fuppofed, that the fire drop- 
ping from one of them, communicated te 
fome loofe fraw, which fet the premifes in 
a blaze. By the aétivity exerted by all 
ranks on the occafion, the conflagration 
was prevented from extending beyond 
the premifes; twelve of the fodiers pe- 
rifhed, whofe dead bodies were dug 
out on Tuefday. A number of horfes be-. 
longing to the royal waggon train were in 
the ftables, all of which were removed but 
two, and they were burnt to death.—One 
other unfortunate Hanoverian died the next 
morning from the injufy he received, anf 
feveral others continue in a doubtful ftate ; 
but, contrary to report, mot one remains un- 
accounted for. The coroner for the count 
hefd an inqueft on the bodies on Wednefday, 
but could not obtain any fatisfa€tory evidence 
of the caufe of the fire. It was ftated, that 
on its firft breaking out, it raged very fierce- 
ly, frem the quantity of ftraw in the {table, 
in which no lefs than feventy of the men’ 
were lodged; that the unfortunate men in- 
ftantly rufhed to the door of the ftable where 
the fire began, bet finding it latched by a 
common iron latch on the outfide (which is 
lifted up by putting the finger through a 
hole im the door), and they not knowing, or 
in their great hurry and confufionnot attempt- 
ing to open it in that way, were for a time 
prevented from making their efcape. Every 
one muft have ’perifhed in the flames, had 
not the corporal of the detachment, to 
whom the alarm of fire had been given, 
ran down to the ftable, and  extricated 
them from their diftyefiing fituation. The
