GREECE. 11413XPAT OF THE CO3I3IISSION 'et: WED WITH THE EXA.HINATION Or THE LABOURS OF THE EXPEDI- TION SENT TO GPtECE. Mr. Geoeroy St. Hilaire reported, in the name , of the Commission charged with this ob ject, mpecting the operations of the Scientific Commission sent to the Mora This Commission, under the &ration of M. Bory de St, Vincent, consisted of M. Virlet, for mineralogy and geology ; M. Despreaux, for botany ; M. Peetor, a physician ; and M. Brusle, for zoology ; M. Delauny, for geography and geology ; and M. Baccuet, who Was engaged to design for all parties, The voyage scanlong and difficult. It was nearly the end "of the month of March before the expeditio n saw the shores of Navarin. Af ter some days of necessary repose, our learned travellers commenced the examination of the in tv:ior and exterior of the road of Navarin. The Commission made a, report to the Ministry, giving a des cr ipti o n o f the various kinds of shell and other thh which are to be found in this road and the stirthunding shores. The expedition was aftetwards divided into twu parties. MM. Pecter and Delauny were appointed to explore the coast of Messenia, run till% from Mutton. M. Despreaux, who re mained ill at Navarin, was replaced by M. Pa naget, a young surgeon, to whom Marshal Maison gave permission to join the expedition. 13ory St. Vincent, accompanied by MM. Valet, Brusle, and Baccuet, explored the inte rior of the country, traversing mountains and valleys hitherto little frequented by strangers. All the travellers were instructed to take three barometric elevations each day. Throughout the journey our travellers found the Greeks kind, hospitable, and humane, and intelligent. They everywhere saw the French received with respect and kindness. The Greeks regularly precede their public wor ship by a prayer for the Royal Family of France. The expedition took notice of the ruins of several monuments of the highest antiquity. A report of the 10th of May contains the details of the observations. In a second expose M. Bory de St. Vincent gives an account of several new excursions, and describes abundant collections, the produce of the soil, which he is to forward to the Museum of Natural History. The expedition, augmented by a new member, M. Goguet de Bourlay, sent out by the Minister of the Interior, was again divided into two sections; the first embarked to explore the coast, the second visited the interior of lEtolia. The report points out a vast num ber of errors in the charts which we possess of that coast. The expedition goes on to speak in terms of self-gratulation on the favourable recep tion they continued to receive from the Greeks. It speaks in the highest terms of their moral character and intelligence. " In Laconia, as well as in Messenia," says M. Bory, " the French are the objects of the most friendly dispositions on the part of the in habitants ; even in the small villages they do not begin public worship without a general prayer for the Royal Family of France.' " The man ners of the Mainotes," adds M. Bory, " have interested us extremely. Their history will cer tainly form the most interesting part of our nar rative. We claim the honour of having been the first among Europeans who penetrated amongst the descendants of the Spartans, amongst whom we found the manners of ancient times modified by feudal customs, which are in spirit those of the 13th century. Laconia is susceptible of the greatest im provements ; the land there is extremely produc tive, though, from being badly managed, every kind of agriculture and gardening are in a state of infancy, and the fruits and herbage of all kinds are of a very inferior quality. When it is con sidered that this defect may be remedied, and that the unwholesomeness of the marshy lands may be removed by bringing thither a consider. able number of exotic plants, of which they do not know even the name, it may be imagined that even the least political commotion and the smallest change in the usages of the country have been of service to this part of Greece, and will become beneficial to humanity." The excess of labour, under an ardent sun, was at length nearly fatal to some of the travel. lers. M. Baccuet became dangerously ill, as did -M. Virlet, whose zeal carried him too far. "On our arrival at Monembasia," continues the Di rector of the expedition, " MM. Brusle and Delauny, both so zealous for the objects of the expedition, became also ill. Dr. Pector, who was left behind from the maritime expedition, vas unable to give any assistance to his col leagues. M. Saccharini, a young Bavarian Doctor, who was attached to the Greek regular troops, was sent expressly by the President to Greece to give his aid to the expedition. The invalids, who were convalescent at the de parture of the courier, were conducted by the Director, M. Bory, on board a steam-boat, to Tisio, an island of the Archipelago, about fif teen hours sail from the coast." Very rich cdections were made during the journey in Arcadia and Laconia, but as yet no thing has been sent to France. The reporter concludes by an enumeration of the scientific riches for which we are indebted to the Commission. They are as numerous as could be expected from a country known for so long a period, but still imperfectly, so close to our territory, and in a latitude so little different. The Committee of the Institute gives the highest credit to the zeal, activity, and profound skill of the director of the expedition, as well as to those of all its members. It mentions that it was the authority which conceived the happy idea of an expedition which brings so much credit to France. The Academy of Sciences, consulted on the choice of subjects, must ap plaud those to which the attention of the expe dition was directed. M. Brongniart has, on his part, made a report on two memoirs of M. Virlet, relative to the geology of IVlessenia, and particularly of that of the environs of Modon and Navarin. SUICIDE.—A letter from Moulines states the following case of suicide --On the 18th of September, a deplorable event plunged a part of this city in the greatest distress. The son of :NI. P—, merchant, Rue de l'Horloge, a young man, about 17 or 18, deprived him self of existence almost in sight of his parents. It appears the young man was employed in a commercial house in Paris, and was induced to make away with some money belonging to his patron. The sense of his fault, and the impossibility of restoring the money, induced him to quit Paris. Upon his unexpected return he importuned his parents to advance him the sum necessary, but did not communicate his offence. He renewed his application without success, and solicited his mother., who was on the point of calling for the final explanation from her son, when she heard the report of fire-arms. She ran to the spot where the piece was discharged, and beheld her son extended on the pare, bathed in his blood. The unfor tunate youth bad blown out his brai n s with a pistol, which he had brought loaded from Paris. A letter found in his pocket explained the cause of his suicide.— Gazette de LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1829. We suppose that Monday will put an end to the present uncertainty which prevails with re spect to the want of intelligence from the East. We have for the last week been supplied ith abundance of news, but it was deficient in the main quality—authenticity. Reports of all kinds are abroad, some for peace and some for war— but the general impression is that the Russians will manage to get to Constantinople in either case. Their triumph will not be complete without the capture or possession of the great capital. That is the grand object of Russian ambition, and General DIEBITSCH is not likely to stop short in his career when within view of the towers of Constantinople. If he do, his moderation will be more magnanimous than politicians give him credit for. According to the last accounts, the 14th of September was the final period fixed for the ratification of the Treaty ; and by Monday, we think it extremely probable that advices will be received from Constantinople up to that date. Frankfort Papers of the 26th September have been received this morning. An article, under date of Smyrna, gives a satirical, but correct, version of the speech of the Greek President to the National Assembly. The speech, the con duct, the hopes and fears, of the President are all Russian. He is a political Jesuit, who has adroitly contrived, through the moderate instiga tion of Russia, to get into power in Greece, and the subsequent effect of his Government, or rather mis-government, proves that he is grateful to one party at the expence of the other. The Governor of Smyrna has collected all the disposable force in his power, and marched to Constantinople, but his presence will be useless there,—the crisis will be over before he can have arrived : MUNSTER, SEPT. 17. A law suit, which has been pending here for seve ral years, and which, (rim its importance, has excited universal attention, is at length decided. On the 30th September, 1821, Prince Emilius, of Bentheim- Tecklenburg, presented a Memorial to the Tribunal of the Province, in which he required that " Prince Alexis, of Bentheim, should be sentenced to deliver up to him, the plaintiff, the county of Steinfurt, with all its dependencies, and the other ancient pos session of the family of Dentheim, situated in the Prussian dominions, and also in the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, &c.” The plaintiff grounded his claim on a derogatory marriage, alleged to have been con tracted in 1661, and on a supposed com pact. By a sentence passed on the 23d August, 1825, by the Tribunal at Munster, the plaintiff's claim was declared to be unfounded, and he was adjudged to pay the costs. Prince Emilius having appealed, obtained a decision in his favour on the 28[h August, 1827 ; against this the Prince of Ben theim appealed to the Supreme Tribunal at Berlin, which decreed that the first sentence of 23d August, 1825, should be re-established. This sentence was published here on the 11th, and arrived the same day at Steinfurt, the residence of the Prince of Ben theim-Steinfurt, where the inhabitants expressed their joy in the most unequivocal manner at this agreeable news. SMYRNA, AUG. 16. he Co:wrier de Smyrna gives a letter from Ar gos, of the 3d inst., which says, " The speech of the President, on opening the National Assembly, may be reduced to the following phrase :—‘ Gentle men, I may, perhaps, allow you to busy yourselves about certain affairs, but for the present you will let me do every thing myself; and you will not forget that the only use you are to make of your full powers, is to put them into my hands.' " The Assembly answered in the most complaisant manner, and placed all the power in his hands, with a degree of liberality of which the Danish history Accounts received from New Yolk by the last arrivals, state that a draft of 1,000 seamen had been recently made there, from which num ber the crew of the United States ship Ohio, fitting out for the Mediterranean station, is to be selected. Owing to the great demand for seamen in the mercantile service, the American Government has laboured under considerable embarrassment in procuring suitable seamen for vessels of war. It appears that there- are nine Banks in the city of New York, which, according to their own reports of February and March, 1828, have together issued notes to the amount of 3,085,804 dollars, payable on demand in specie ; and that the amount of specie in the Banks for the re demption thereof was only 945,829 dollars, be ing seven dollars in paper for one of specie.— The Bank of the United States and branches, 22 in number, have issued notes to the amount of 24,139,175 dollars, and have specie in the Banks to the amount of 5,815,821 dollars. Letters from Virginia, of the 28th of August, state that the quantity of rain which has fallen there exceeds any thing recollected by the oldest inhabitants. Some of the rivulets were so swollen as to carry away the houses on the banks, and in 'l'aguier county the waters are said to have risen 30 feet. The strong bridge at Buckland, with its heavy stone abutments, was carried away. The Angostura Courier of the 13th of Sep tember states, that on the Tuesday night pre vious an incendiary attempt was made on the city by setting fire to a lot of cotton, which was for tunately discovered in time, and the city saved from destruction. It appears that schooners employed in the African Slave Trade from the island of Cuba, enter the American ports ostensibly in distress as vessels engaged in the gold and ivory com• merce, and obtain such supplies as are wanted at a cheaper rate in the United States than at Cuba. We have received advices from Davis's Straits, with accounts of their fishery to the 23d Aug., which are of some importance. The following is a statement of the success of the Hull vessels:— Fish.

On their first getting to the West side there was every prospect of a great fishery, but owing to heavy gales of wind the land ice was broken up and soon disappeared, together with the fish. The Home Castle, of Leith, and the Jane, of Aberdeen, were both lost in crossing Melville Bay.

Yesterday afternoon as a gentleman was driving, a gig in Brunswick-place, the horse suddenly became res tive, and, refusing to turn, dashed right through the win dow of the fruit•shop at the top of Russell-street, with the gig at his heels, and then fell down en his side in the shop. The wheels alone remained outside. The horse was raised and led out of the door-way of the shop, with little other injury than a cut on the knee. The gentleman also for tunately escaped with only a slight cut in the hand.— Bath He; ahl. RA RA Avis.-We have see❑ a white grouse, which Las been presented to the Natural History Society of this town, by Mr. M'LEAN, surgeon, of Castledawson, who shot it in the heath bog between Castledawson and Tubbermore, county Derry. It was one of a pack of seven or eight birds, all of which were of the common brown plumage except itself. We have not heard of any of this kind having been seen in this part of the country before,— Belfast News Letter. Last week Mrs. OXFORD, late Mrs. ALLEN, of the Carriage Inn, Combe Down, received a ring, which was stolen from her 12 years since, inclosed in a note from the person who stole the ring !—Bath Herald. A serious accident happened on Friday morn ing, about one o'clock, near Langloan. While Mr. Jacie sos's carts were proceeding on the road to Edinburgh, it is supposed that the carter had fallen off his cart, and the Edinburgh night mail coming forward some time after, the coach ran over the body of the man. The coachman perceiving something wrong, pulled up ; and on the guard attempting to lift the body; the man's faithful dog, which had been watching its master, seized the guard, and tore his coat ; nor was it till the dog recognised some people who came up, that it allowed the body to be lifted. The unfortunate man was conveyed to his ow ❑ house, and little hope is entertained of his recovery. —Edinburgh Even ino Courant. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS tank Stock 3 per au t.

" His Excellency Hassan Pacha, our Governor, set out yesterday morning. A detachment of field artillery, with the gunner and a strong detachment of regular troops in blue uniforms, had set out at ten o'clock. At eleven the train quitted the palace in the following order :—The remainder of the Re giment in blue uniform, to the number of 100 men, .500 regular infantry, in red uniform, preceded by drummers, fifers, and a band of music in the Eu ropean fashion; 400 irregular infantry, the Paella's standard and three tails with a guard, preceded by a standard of white satin; a squadron of regular ca valry, in purple uniform, and perfectly equipped; his Excellency Hassan Pacha in military costume, preceded and followed by all the Turkish authori ties of the city : among them we remarked Omer Effendi, the Receiver of the public Revenue. The principal persons of the Greek communion, several dragomans, and many persons belonging to the European Consulates, joined the procession. Lastly came Hadji Bey, who has for several years acted with indefatigable zeal as Chief of the Police. He was at the head of a strong detachment of irregular cavalry. _ _ On the 14th, columns of 1,600 irregular infantry and 800 cavalry, left the city. The remainder of the troops that his Excellency is to assemble under his command are stationed all along the road as far as Magnetic). A considerable number of persons of all nations filled the road from the palace of the Pacha to the Baths of Diana, a distance of nearly three miles. The good wishes of all accompanied the respectable Vizier, who will be so much regretted here, and whose dignified air and affectionate solici tions called to mind the noble affability which he shewed to all who waited on him. It was curious and affecting to see the numerous groupes of Turkish women, covered with long veils, whose modest costume could not hide their tears, which they hardly ventured to wipe away. The departure of his Excellency was announced by the guns of the fortress, ar►d when he mounted his horse . and displayed his stawdard, the French brig of war saluted him with 13 guns.

It is not only the bad weather which causes a gloom in the Consol market this morning, but we are also deprived to the present hour of any informa tion from the theatre of war. Private accounts re ceived yesterday from Paris state that the French Government were in hourly expectation of a tele. graphic despatch, with the result of the signing of the preliminaries. It is not therefore supposed that we shall remain many hours without some official infor mation on the above subject. We have no arrivals of the least consequence. Consols, which left off yesterday at 891 to for the Account, opened this morning at 89i 4 , and for November account 89k, sellers, without the least business doing.

THE EARL OF ERROL.—We are concerned to hear th.q this much esteemed Nobleman has been ex tremely ill since Monday morning, having been suddenly attacked by violent pain and inflammation in the ear and face, which occasioned his being confined to bed.

Pieces of the same description are now sold for about ss. 6d. or 6s. each. Amongthe numerous distinguished personages who, during the last few days, have passed through this town, and stayed at the Lion Inn, we have noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, on Sunday, on his tour to Wales ; the Bishop of MEATH, yesterday, for Ire land ; and Lady EMILY Ful,nzbia, on Wednesday, for Aldridge.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. Several farmers it the neighbourhood of Tauntt.n have been growing Connr.rx's Indim corn with the greatest success.—Bath Herald. In the course of a journey one day last week from this city to Taunton, the horses of one of the coaches were obliged to be pulled up five times, by the crossing of pigs on the road, and twice by donkies rolling in the middle of the highway ! The new mail coach road west of Chard has cost the Trustees upwards of 6,0001., of which there is no ascent more than 1 in 18, except for about a furlong, where it is under 1 in 15 ; and it is considered to he the most important work of the port. except Crackmore hill, in the West of England.—Bath Herald. Wednesday evening a fellow who got up on WHEELER'S Frome coach, contrived to rob it of a gentle man's trunk in the following manner :—After pretending to be tipsey and annoying the passengers who were behind, he succeeded in compelling them to get inside. On arriving at Beckington, he managed to remove the trunk to some of his companions who were waiting on the road, and then effected his escape without being observed. The proprietor of the coach, on the loss being discovered, used every exertion to apprehend the :thief, and, with the passengers, returning on the road, found the fellow concealed in a waggon. He was immediately taken into custody, and conveyed on to Frome, where he again escaped. His pursuers, however, followed him with a cry of " Stop thief," and on passing the Black Swan a woman rushed out, and after a desperate struggle, in which both fell to the ground, succeeded in detaining him ; the poor woman had her band dreadfully lacerated. The prisoner was then conveyed before the Magistrates for examination. The value of the trunk is estimated at 201. —B ads Herald. The Fish market at Billingsgate has been most abundantly supplied with Corl-fish within the last three or four days, the take of this species of fish having been greater than recollected fur a long time past. The Salmon season has concluded, and on the whole has been a good one. The Salmon fishery in Scotland terminated on the 14th of last month, but by special Act of Parlia tnent for regulating the fishery for Salmon, Berwick-upon- Tweed has the privilege of continuing the fishing for Sal mon for ten days longer. This privilege, it is said, tends much to lessen the supply of Salmon as very early after the day fixed upon for the general suspension of fishing in Scotland the female fish is full of spawn, and, upon a moderate calculation, by destroying every such fish, the breed is decreased one thousand. The supply of fresh herrings is small to-day ; Yarmouth herrings, bloaters, are now in their prime. The Oyster season, as far as it has proceeded, has proved very abundant. It is now un wholesome to eat Salmon, being in spawn. REMARKABLE ANIMAL ATTACHMENT.— A few days ago a coursing party, on the borders of Shrop shire, after a successful morning's sport, returned home, bringing with than several hares, amongst which there was one considerably more bulky than the rest. This circumstance suggested to the gentleman to whose share it had fallen the propriety of opening it, when two living leverets were taken from the unfortunate dam. Thus far all was right enough ; but how to provide subsistence for the young strangers was the next question, and this in volved a difficulty not to be disposed of without resorting to an extremity which would, if possible, have been avoided. The cat had just kittened, and nothing less than the destruction of her litter seemed to offer itself as the probable means of affording the continuance of life to the young orphans. The deed is done—and puss mews, and walks, and looks for her own young family in vain. The new one, however, is introduced to the notice of poor bereaved grimalkin. No, no ; this won't do ; they are not her own offspring, and she looks with coldness and indifference at first ; but soon symptoms of uneasiness are felt, and, induced by the redundant milk, she approaches nearer the young leverets with " cautious steps and slow," and, after much hesitation, finally afforded maternal nourishment to the young intru ders, to the mutual gratification of the donor and reci pients. This singular and newly farmed connexion t oo k place on Wednesday, the 16th inst., and the tender offices of the nursery were-satisfactorily and usefully performed during the two following days and nights, when a very unlucky and untoward event broke up the compact which had so auspiciously commenced, and dissolved the fa'nily ties in final ffi separ ation. mnateoehacelesus, btoi ota accu stomed ,sney(id, uease,pise.l o , ezesugeri On utusht eereld t etr i a e ‘b,val h:atsoehd:uryi that, through rtrn r 1 (:),e i ul frg 01 twentyy, ;h t r t , p :tt.svyln,o) yards wantodetcoashoent enable ftfi ar, hu), I,:e...e s es unfortunately shut up in the house, and thus prevented ttp i h n hhee a eenr kehikdn pooroi g nu t dso h ea e b;n r oei fostering care of the cat, the young hares were found the next morning so weakly and cold, that the warmth of the kitchen fire and other " appliances and means to bout," sufficed not to restore them to their previous vigour ; they died, and poor puss, in the course of three eventful days, lost both her own and her adopted family.—Liverpool Cowrier. AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. DETACHED QUESTIONS. (From the ConstitutionneL) According to some private letters, the Grand zier has taken part in the negotiation; set on foot at the Russian head-quarters. Have the writers forgotten that this Viceroy is hemmed in at his camp at Shumla, and that he is separated from Adrianople by the Balkan ? It is the Kaimakan (holding his place) who is.appointed to reside near Sultan whenever the Grand Vizier is absent, that these letters mean to speak of. In endeavouring to explain, in our Paper of the 15th of this month, the causes of the delay in the movements of the Russian General since his arrival at Adrianople, we showed that he had substituted the language and the resources of diplomacy for the impetuosity which had carried him within six days jourm-y,uf the enemy's capital. Among the con cessions which we imaained he would demand froth the 'Sultan, as a proof of the sincere intention of that Prince to treat, was the sending hack the Asiatic troops to Anatolia; and the last news from Constantinople justifies our predictions. The Sultan has just sent back the troops, as formidable to biro as to his subjects, in consequence of their undisci' plined state and their natural ferocity. Armaments in the British ports, destined for the Mediterranean, are spoken of, and it is said that two vessels of 120 guns have been put in commission! If they are intended to assist the Sultan, it must 11 owned they are provided rather late in the day. The choice of vessels of this description dis" proves the supposition which gives them this direct destination. A vessel of 120 guns, according to the English system, requires a crew of 1,100 men, and with 100 more two 74-gun ships might be equipped. Two vessels of this description would be more fit for general service ; they could be more easily steered, and would sail better; they migh t also be navigated in more shallow water than a three', decked ♦essel. The English Admiralty, by this choice, appear g to have renounced the idea of procuring a free i passage in the Dardanelles for its fleet; for beyon d that pass, and particularly in the Black Sea, three' decked vessels, especially when the ports and roar° are in the hands of the enemy, are, of all construe' tious, the least proper for those narrow seas. ANCONA, SEPT. 19.—Since two days, four cF traordinary couriers have arrived from Constants' nople, but almost as soon as they alighted they seC off f r London. They did not say a single word ip answer to the questions which were addressed to them ; and, indeed, the English Consul-Genera l says that he himself had no means of ascertaining the time of their departure. The vessels in whitr they come do not sail from Constantinople, and It appears that„ a sort of maritime estafette has been. established; that the couriers leave Pera by II steam-boat, and that they can embark in another vessel which brings them here. This is in order to preserve the greatest secrecy with respect to the negotiations, and the important affairs which ar e going forward at this moment in the ,Ottotua ° capital. FUNERAL OF WILLIAM HUNT, ESQ• Yesterday the funeral of William Hunt, Es 94 whose munificent donation to Guy's Hospital has been already recorded, took place. In his will, th e deceased expressly directed that neither pomp or as' tentation of any description should prevail at his / 0 ' terment, and accordingly those individuals who h e„ : the superintendence of the ceremony complied Wit' the injunctions of the deceased gentleman. At eig ht , o'clock in the morning, the hearse, which was adorne u with plumes of black feathers, drawn by six horse , and containing the body of the deceased, enclosed in, a leaden coffin, which was encased in that of one o f oak, set out from the residence of the late deceased/ at Petersham,in Surrey, follo‘i ed by two mounting coaches, and the pr;vate carriages of the three exe" cutors. In the first mourning coach were the Ref; Mr. Byatn, the rector of Petersham, Adm ire ' Scott, and Benjamin Harrison, Esq., the Tree' surer of Guy's Hospital. The other mournlor, coach contained the four domestics of the deceaseeh At eleven o'clock the funeral procession arrived e t t . the outer gates of Guy's Hospital, within which were assembled the Governors, and the wh ole strength of the medical and surgical stall belongi v b to the institution. The coffin was then taken fre el f the hearse, and borne by eight men to the hall t)/ the hospital, the men and women servants all n ea dressed in black, forming an avenue on each side eP a the court-yard, through which it passed, foll owed by the chief mourners, the Governors of the h ° r „, pital, &c. In the hall of the hospital the coffin deposited on trestles, where it remained for boloef time, and from thence was borne into the chapel. et the hospital, where the first portion of the b ar ! service was read in a most impressive ma nner O r o the Rev. Mr. Byam, who officiated on the solee4 .. occasion. The Chaplains of Guy's a nd 1 1 , Thomas's Hospitals were also present during the service. From the chapel the coffin containine te g remains of the deceased was borne by ine:', round the spacious court in front of the i „1 ne ti t i e r don, followed by the chief mourners and the e t , 4 ' e individuals forming the procession, and passed c h i r by the statue of Mr. Guy, the beneficent fotoThe of the hospital. The coffin was then borne into ,1 vault, which was lighted up on the occasion, °id placed next to that of Mr. Guy. The remaindefA the burial service having been read, the furie: l 7 6 then concluded. The inscription on the decease o f coffin is to this effect—" William Hunt, Es4l/0 Petersham, Surrey, died Sept. 23, 1829, age years." In the same vault, which is a very 65; cious one, are also deposited the remains o fli d other persons, besides the founder of the hospit al heir that of Mr. Hunt, and, from the inscription on tbtea coffins, it seems that they had been all con vec io with the institution in their life-time. The din containing the remaining of Mr. Guy is end s t . 0 1 one of stone, and by the inscription describesno he died on the 27th of December, 1724 , , ag ed 0 4 years, and was buried in the vault of St. Th° re es t church, from whence he was removed to the pre,, e B o, place of interment on the 4th of September, 11 . o f By his will, the late Mr. Hunt bequeathed a otir oo , 5,0001. to each of his executors—namely,B.
