1 THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.---thiß amiable and
distinguished Nobleman presided, on the first
' day of.thiS year, at Kingston-npon-Thames, at the
first meeting of a Charity instituted and provided
for by his Lordship, giving a handsome annual re-
ward taeach of five poor families who should bring
proofs of a course of the hest conduct and cha-
racter, with a preference to- those who had not
received parochial relief. His, Lordship, sur-
rounded by all the principal Ladies and Gentle-
men of the neighbourhood, distributed the re-
wards with his own hand, and addressed the 1
successful and unsuccessful candidates for his
bounty, in a speech,- short, but extremely im-
pressive, and well adapted to their situations
and capacities. The Rev. Mr. GANDY then ad-
dressed the meeting and the poor, at some
length ; he powerfully pointed nut to the latter
the advantages, as well as the duty, of religion
and good conduct, passed an elegant eulogium
on their Noble Benefactor, and paid a most af-
fecting tribute to the memory of the virtues and
eharities of the late Countess of LIVERPOOL.—
Mr. PALMLR, a Gentleman in the neighbourhood,
being called upon, saki a few words : he exhort- .
ed the poor to remark that, character and con-
duct, rather than their necessities, had acquired.
the rewards for them ; that attention to their re-
ligious duties (without distinction with respect to
religious opinions) had been principally attended
to in the selection of the successful candidates;
and ho described. the Earl of LIVERPOOL as " a
Nobleman whose recreations are charity, and who
relaxes from the cares of the national welfare in
the pleasure of promoting the happiness of the
poor."

JOHN AFC. EGO R, the Scotch Piper.---An In-
quisition was held before Mr. HlGas, Deputy
Coroner for Westminster, at the Board Room of
St.'james's Infirmary, on the body of JOHN R.
McGecrort, the celebrated Scotch Piper, whose
death was occasioned by an unfortunate accident.
Being a performer on the union pipes, and highly
respected by the Scotch Nobility and -Gentry,
was generally invited to their festive entertain-
, ments, and on New Year's night had been at the
'residence of --- Wedderburn, F. 4., in the Al-
bany. The 'footman of ?lr. Wedderhurn de-
posed,
.that after the company broke up at his
master's on New Year's night, the deceased
brought leis pipes to the front door to go bottle,
and on putting his hand into his pocket for his
box, having asked a person present to take .a
pinch of snuff with him, he found the box missing;
he laid down his pipes to go to look for it, went up
stairs and knocked at the chamber-floor of one of
' the servants, who, told him that he would come
and search for the box if he (the deceased)
.would go down stairs. The deceased, instead of
going down the stairs by which lie had ascended,
took another direction, down another pair of
stairs. lie (witne.,;s) heard a.very heavy fall of
something immediately afterwards, and a deep
groan, and on going to the spot found that the
deceased, who was a very heavy man, had fallen
doWn the stairs headforemost, and his skull was
dreadfully fractured. He was in a few minutes
a lifeli.ss corpse. The deceased had drank se-
veral glasses of Madc,ira, but tvzt: not intoxi-
cated. Anothei witness corroborated, the above,
and after a few observations of the Coroner, a
verdiet of " Actidental Death" was retnrned by
the Jury.
