LATE ARCLIBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

Tut dissolution of the late venerable Primate
rook place about nine o'clock on Friday morning,
While. the greater part of his family were standing
round ltis bed; he expired under so quiet and gradual
a transition, 'that his death ...vas for some time
doubted. On the melancholy event being- an.
flounced, the bells of Lambeth, Church, that were
ringing on account of the Birth-day of Her Ma.
jesty,, were immediacely stopped, and the flag was
not hoisted on the Church during the day. His
surviving children are the, Rev. GEORGE MOORE,"
ReCtor of Wrotharn; Kent; CHARLES Mogan,
Esq. Member of Parliament for Woodstock ; the
Rev. Ron RT Moort.F., Redo*. of Latchingdon,- in
Essex; and JOHN Mooße, E.q. of the University
of Oxford, the only child ever born to an Arch.
bishop of Canterbury. Two daughters died of
consunaptirips within the lait seven years.
We feel ourselves at a loss to speak, in appro.
priate terms of the charaetei of thii excellent Pre.
late. It is the less necessary to do so, becaute no
malignity, no wantonness, ever dared to breathe a
charge against him. The presumption of infidels,
and the insolence of fanatics, have left his name un.
touched. ;His life was truly a Christian lesson—an
active memorial of the precepts of our holy religion.,
His enjoyment of his elevated station consisted in
a charitable performance of its duties, and a corm!
munication of its blessingi; his•nse of"digniry was
to condescend, without permitting others to feel
that he had comiescended. Very rarely indeed can
we expeA such an example of Christian charity and
universal benevolence.

We have !lien favoured with the following' more
Correa and additional particulars, by a person well
acquainted with His Grace's family :
". Dr. Jowl Moons, the late Archbishop of
Canterbury, was educated at Pembroke College,
Oxford,, from whence he. went to be private tutor
to Lord CHARLES and Lord; ROB P SPENCER,
younger brothers to the ptesent Duke of I MARBO.
ZOUGEd, with whom he continued till the edUcation
of the latter was nearly finished, when he married a
Mils WRIGHT, a beautiful young Lady with a gen-
teel fortune, after• having been presented, by the
interest of the above noble family, to a Prebendary
of Durham and a Canonry of Christ Church, Ox.
ford ; at which latter place he resided, and cond-
oned his 'private instruOions to Lord ROBERT
Sr ENCEIt, who was entered a Nobleman of that
Collie. The Do tor's Lady dying of a decline
illAtit 1765; a short time before his L 011.13114) Set,
out to make the tour of Europe, Dr. Moo R a ac..
companied. him throughout his travels. On his
torn H., married Miss EDEN, .a si,ter of Sir JOHN
EDeN, and r • " present Lord Au CKLAND• a very
celebrated beauty. About the year .1771 he was
promoted to , the Deanery of Canterbury, from
whence he was advanced, to the See of Bangor, and
afterwards to the Archbishopric of Canterbury

MOLD (FLINT 411111), JAN. 13.—0 n Monday
last an accident of a most distressing nature occurred
in this neighbourhood: While Mile colliers were,
at work in 'the 'Brolicoeti Colliery, the damp (so
technically called) ',twit with such fury, that, out
of the five men at wmrk, in tlie pit, three were so
dreadfully lacerated as to wet with an insta:Jta,
neous death; the other two were ako shockingly
hurt', but, happily, as yet; have stir Vived the ells,
aster. The three unfortunate viaims of this sad
misfortune, who belonged to the Volunteers, of this
town, were. on Wednesday last interred with mili-
tary honours, when the. whole corps attended, and
the ceremony was Contlutted with every
nary solemnity and decorum.

'The following are some farther particulars of the
late desttuaive conflagration at the 1/Mish Island
of St. Thomas. The fire !mike out in the hc:use
of Mr.' MUHLEINDROOK, (adjoining' the King's.
Wharf) between seven and eight, on the evening
of the .zzd of November, and 'there being a smart
breeze, the entire town was in a tew boors in a
blaze, and soon after reduced to a heap of ruins.—
Some people were enabled to save part of their
property; but the majority were less fortunate, and
their condition is represented as being, peculiarly
deplorable, as they were not only destitute of places.
of residence, but provisions were scarce, and water
began to be much wanted. The population of the
town: is estimated at to,ooo, and their daily wants
GO barrels of-flour, and -so puncheons of water.
The'ships in Ate harbour afforded all the accommn.
elation they were capable of, and temporary sheds
were ereeted'arnongst the ruins, for the poor, who
were supported by a subscription formed by the more
affluent.

A fire broke out On Friday morning the I Ith inst.
at Preston, at the cottonfaCtury of Milsrs.llorrocks,

-terly Marner, in conveying the engines to.the lodge
