'.11&,e are Lit t sinall part of iliose intoleiable
verses in point of civil government to which
glishmett would be doomed to submit. I will,
however, pursue no further their odious detail ; but
pro(eed to another consequence of the -supposed
conquest—the transition from opulence to ruin.

IsatrEsTs.—An Inquisition was taken on Tues-
day, at Ashford, before G. HouGsos, Esq. Coroner
for Middlesex, on the body of a labouring man,
whose death was occasioned by circumstances rather
singular. The deceased, it appeared, was a farmer's
servant, who was emplOyed in the fields, near to
which depredations had been committed, but par-
ticularly on the property of Mr. Reny, a Magistrate,
whose servant missed four sheep from the field, and
the deceased, it appeared had killed them. He was
taken into custody, and being about to be removed
from a house at Ashford to London, to take his
trial, he snatched a case-knife from off the table,
and deprived himself of existence by cutting his
throat. It appeared that the unfortunate man had
been greatly' depressed in spirits in consequence of
what be had done. Verdid--Insanity.
Another Inquisition was taken on the same day,
before' the same Coroner, on a poor woman, who
was burnt to death in St. Giles's.—Accidental
Death.

An Inquisition was held yesterday evening, before
the Coroner of the Duchy Liberty of the Parish of
,
St. Clement Danes, at the Cheshire Cheese, 'in
Milford-lane, on the body of Master John Win-
grove, son of a respeCiable neighbour, who lost his
life on Monday last. It appeared in evidence; that
the deceased bad what ,turns out to be an untOrtu-
nate propensity to ride on the poles of the empty
'mail-coaches, on their transit to the' repository at
Milbank; in this instance he was•seen-to be on the
pole of the second of three coaches, and soon after
the body was taken up, he having been run over'
after he had fallen from the pole ; the body Nyas•
taken to the Crooked. Billet. "-Surgical asistance
was speedily obtained, but it proved fruitless. As
there was no., reason to suppose that any blame:at-
tached to the driver, who, from the nature of the
transaction, could not know of nor guard against it,
and that it must have _arisen from the child's own
misconduc% a verdiaof Accidental Death was re-
turned.

On Thursday last a child, belonging to Mr..
Wright, bookseller, •Broad-street, St. Gilts's, was
'burnt to death in the folloWing dreadful manner :
As she and her sister were amusing themsekes: in
the kitchen, dressing their dolls, with a candle'
placed on the chair beside them, she had occasion to,
stand upon the chair to take down a work-bag hang;
lag on the wall, when her clothes caught tire. Her
sister was so terr;iied, that she could render her no:
assistance. The child, whose clothes caught fire,.
ran up the kitchen stairs, in 'appearance like a ball
of flames, where her mother anclgrandrother met
her.—The feelings of the mother can be better con-
ceived than expressed. She was io overcome With
the shock, that she Was rendered wholly
,incapable
of giving any assistance. The screams attracted the
attention of several people passing at the moment ;
when a woman rushed in, wrapped her in her cloak,
and extinguished the flames, which by this time
had extended to her whole body. Licr cars were
burnt almost 'to a cinder. She lingered in the most
excruciating agony fbr upwards of tbrty hours, when'
she breathed her last.—The Coroner's Inquest was
held on the body on Tuesday, and returned aler-
diat of Accidental Death.

On. Tuesday forenoon, a woman, in Hutton's-
clogs, Bridgegate, Glasgow, was so dreadfully burnt,
by her clothes taking fire, that she died on Wed-
nesday morning. It is not known how the accident
happened, but it is believed that she was intoxicated
at the time. She has left two infant children.

Soon after twelve o'clock, yesterday morning,
--- Moss, a drover and dealer in pigs, who re-
sided in Leather-lane, Holborn, gave an alarrn'to a
watchman, and said, that his wife had cut her
throat. On the watchman going into the room, the
body of the woman was warm, and her head ap-
peared to have been nearly severed from her body;.
and he found the knife with which the fatal .aet
had been perpetrated. The husband had, a few mi-
nutes before he gave the alarm to the watchman, left
a public-house near to his own lodgings. There are
various reports relative to the death of the deceased.
Some attribute it to her own ael, and some to the
hand of another. The husband was taken to Eagle-
street- watch-hotise. A Coroner's. Inquest wilt be'
taken on the body of the: deceased this day. Moss
is a man. of some property.
Very considerable damage was done in Sussex,
by the high wind, on last Wednesday se'nnight.
The trees and hovels that were blown down are
innumerable. Houses, stables, and, in short, build-
ings of all despriptions, were more or less exposed-
to the effects of its powerful influence. In Lewes,
a weighty chimney of the White Hart Inn Was
forced down on the roof of the arched room, and
,by passing through it on a valuable billiard-table,
made originally for the late Duke of NEWCASTLE,
greatly augmented the datuage.—ln a closet of the
room, not many feet from the fallen chimney, slept
a :postilion and his wife, the former of whom felt
great alarm at the crash, but the latter was awoke
totally insensible of the accident. Mr. PESCODD,
of Southover, suffered much by the loss of the sweeps
of his windmill ; but we have not heard of any one
being personally injured. Several ploughmen,
whose work demanded their attendance in bleak
si-
tuations, on the above day, returned froth the field
with 'their faces .so sworn, by the intensity of the
cold, that they found some difficulty in persuading
their masters to recognize them.
