He has left moil of his houfe, his p'ate, his pictures, valued at iso,oool. and his : , late lately purchafed at Woolmers, in Hertford 'hire, to Earl Gowse, together with his canal property . in Lancallsire, which brings in from fifty R, eighty thoufand per annum. All this property 1s entailed on Earl Gowast's fecond fon, Lord Ptamcis LEVIN:SU Gown. His fira fon will in herit the Marquis of STAFFORD'S eflares. To Gem neral Entorom, now Earl of BRIDGEWATER, be bequeaths the elate of Alhbridge, in Hertford !hire, and other elates in Shropfhire and York. (hire, to the amount of 30,0001. per annum.—. About 6 0 0,0001. in the Funds, he has left chiell to General &sorrow, and partly among the Coon tea of Cattisr.f, Lady Aww VERNON, and Lady LOUISA MACDON•LIS, the Chief Baron's Lady.— The Duke never was married. Thefe perfons were his relations. The Veftrymen of the with of St. James held a meeting on Monday laft, when Andrew Pollock, • the Watchman who behaved with fo much inhu m inky towards George Mango, who was found deal one morning lalt week, at the corsj of Noel fireet, was difmilred from his employment ; and the Veßrymen ordered their Clerk to inveftigate the matter further, with a view to profecining Poll )ck, and any other perfans concerned in the (id inhuman tranfaaion. About nine o'clock 101 l night, a fire broke oat at Mr. Miles's Cooperage, Rofemary-branch, ad. joining Rofemary-lane, which for a length of tints threatened deftruiftlontothe whole neighbourhood. The houfes in that quarter being all chiefly built of wo,af, it was not to be wondered at that the in. habitants were alarmed for their fafety and pro perty. As the fire penetrated towards Rofemary. lane, feveral families were busied in (tripping their premifes of the furniture, and were flying with it in all dire lions, to a place of fecurity. About eleven o'clock, feveral (mall houfes, attached to The cooperage, were entirely dellroyed, and it was thought by the affitlance of the firemen and en. gines that the fire would be prevented from ex. tending further ; but that was not the cafe ; for about twelve o'clock it communicated itfelf to fome buildings in Chamber-areet, and began to rage again with greater violence, and in the cootie of an hour did material damage. A party of the Guards from the Tower were called out to difperfe the mob, and prevent plunder.—During the pro grecs of the fire, a confiderable quantity of mufqiiet flocks was carried off to various places of fafety, and, from the appearance of the ruins oa fire, a Rill greater number wit probably deßroy ed in the conflagration. The difficulty of approach pre. vented the engines from producing that effc..rt they otherwife would have done—and, from feveral of them being obliged to work from the Lime tire. plug, a great fcarcity of water at times prevailed. 'The conconrfe of people of the lower rrder allem bled near the conflagration was immenfe ; and, to add to the confulion and horror of the fcene, a numerous and well-armed prefsgang attended on the fpot, and dragged away a number of feamen from among the moh.—Mr. Miles's cooperage is entirely d:ttroyed, and twelve houfes adjoining. The fire-men were unable to procure wat-r for above an hour and a half after the tire broke out ; and it was not got under till neat two o'clock this morning. 11 id id ro
