SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN Cox.—Amongst
the many daily oeiurrences, we have to announce the melancholy
and auddist death of 31r. Alderman Cnx, which took place yester-
day afternoon, itt his residence in Ilan-street, Bloomsbury. The
Alderman, who for some time past enjoyed • remarkably flood state
of health, proceeded from his iIOUNe shout two o'clock to his office in
Manchester-buildings, and from which place he returned in the
course of an hour and • hall. Upon his entering the house he
complained of a pain in his cheat, and observed that he would lie
Clown; but in a few minutes afterwards till chamber bell rang
violently, when, on his attendants entering the room, they dia.
covered the Alderman apparently in a fit. Aledical aid was in-
stantly resorted to, and Mr. Ireland, surgeon, of liart.etreet, at-
tended, and attempted to bleed Mr. Cox, when, after several in-
efficient attempts, a small portion of blood was procured, but wbith
was of no avail, as be dial in a few minutes after, apparently with
conaiderati:e pain. The isimedtoe ramie of his ilex!' was apo-
plexy, but from what cause the attack originated we were not able
to learn. The dereaaed was elected Aldermen of the Ward or.
Ali:eteg-te In the year IBIS, and his loss rill be long regretted by
a number of poor persons.
