last, at a very advanced age•, atter a long ill=
netts, at his house in St. James's-squaw. He
was the son of Dr. FRANCIS, an emi!lent
Divine and Schoolatiister, to whom the lite-
rary world is indebted for an admirable Transla-
tion of the Orations of DEMosTIIENES, and per-

while in that country, and to engage in a d►lel
with that Gentleman. The chief error in the sub-

sentient conduct of Sir PHILIP was, that, after
livving been so deeply involved with Mr. HAST-
INGS, he should have endeavoured to become one
of the Parliamentary Managers in the prosecu-
tion of that Gentleman. This tact, however,
has not been fully ascertained, and it is so repug-
nant to candour, delicacy, common sense, and the
feelings of mankind, that we are disposed to con-
sider the suspicion as not well founded. Sir
PHILIP, if he ever entertained such an ambition,
must, on the slightest reflection, have been con-
vinced how much it would have exposed him to
general censure. As Sir PHILIP held his situa-
tion in the War-Office during the time when the

Letters of JUNIUS hrst appeared, an►l as the arrest
at►d release of Gen. GANsELL constituted an impor-
tant topic in the hands of the anonymous Writer,
who most have been well informed of all t he circum-

stances attending that extraordinary transac►ion,
it has been interred, upon a comparison of dates,
and the farther developen►ent of the literary
and political talctis of Sir PHILIP, that lie and
JuNIUS were one person. It is %yell known that
manylother characters, npon various degrees of pro-
bability, have been suspected of writing the me-
morable Letters in question. Bat no person has

ever pursued the inquiry with so much success a►s
the author of a work, entitled " The IDENTITY
of JUNIUS With a DISTINGUIstIED LIVING CHA-
RACTER established." This work is ascribed to
Mr. TAYLOR, of the firm of TAYLOR and H►iSSEY,
booksellers, hi Fleet-street. It is a work marked
by no ordinary share of diligence and sagacity,
and it must he highly gratifying to the friends of
literat►tre, as well as to the respectable ft sterility of
booksellers, to know that their body possesses so
able a member. We gave a brief account of this
work in our 'LITERARY REVIEW, but it is well en•
titled to further notice.—But to return to Sir
PHILIP ; whether ,or not he was the Author of Jo-
NIUS'S Letters may still be doubted; but amt he
pi 'ssessed .-:reat abilities, and was ri sound sc!►olar,
must be universally acknowledged ; .and however
we might differ with trim in poli,ies, we believe
that he had the welfare of his country atheart,
and he has certainly lett a reputation that does
honour to his memory,

CORONER'S INQ U

FURTHER PARTICULA RS of THE MURDER NEAR

VUTHIN.

The person of the unfortimate..man, who was
lately murdered near Robin, was identified. by
some Irishmett, who attended the great itvirket,
at Ruthin, on Monday sennight. It seems that
his name was Patrick M'Avoy, and a ootive
Ireland. Oa Tuesday last, the adjourned Coro-
ner's inquest was held, and Cie Jury brought in
a verdict of '' Wilful Murder against some ,person
or persons unknown." During a minute investi-
gation which took place on the subject, it has
been proved, that the deceased, accompanied by
a pet son dressed in a great coat, similar to those
worn k the lower order of Irishmen, was secu•
about hall-past four o'clock, on Monday evening,
the 7th instant, (which was the evening of the
murder) a .qua'rter of a mile on the toad leading
from Northop to Mold. The same persons were
afterward, seen at five o'clock of the same even-
inc, at the Dolphin, in Mold ; the landlord of
which place describes the person who accompanied
the deceased, as follows :—He wore a great coat,
similar to those generally worn by the lower
Irish, which was buttoned;—lie further describes
him as a person of plain features,. with a weak
squeaking voice. Shortly after five, the same two
persons started for Ruthin. About halt-past
eight, one Irishman. was observed on .that part of
;he road, leading from Bwleli pen y Batras de
Mold, ivhereetliete is a tttroing to Llanterras,
which communicates willa the new diree:o rt
of- road from Ituthin to Mold ; having found nit
enquiry, where the above turning led to, lie imme-
diately took that line. The following ofornuig,
red morocco pocket-hook was found, thrown from
the road into an adjoining field in the neighbour-
hood. The Mugistrites, Coroner, and the princpal
inhabitants of Ruthin, are indetatigable in their
exertions to trace out the guilty party ; and front
the judicious arrangements which they have made
to that purpose, there is every reason for
supposing, that their noised efforts nod zeal will
prove, eventually, successful.— ( nester Courant,
Dec. 2.2.)

This morning, at five o'clock, a file broke out
at the house of Mr. -I.ittowN, fair-dresser, Deli
Lion-stteel, Whitech.vd ; the (lames weie first
diiii:overed at the low,r pat t or the louse; by th,
arrival of engines and a good supply of
water, It W,.S got after dataidgiug the lower
pot of the house ou;y.
