MARGATE, Nov I.—There was recently a
paragraph in one of the London Papers, which
stated, that a lever was raging in this place. It
this report, which had very little foundation, had
been circulated in the middle of our season, it
might have been highly injurious to the town, hut
as there is now less bustle, and inquiry is more
easy, it proved quite harmless. (i.e or two per-
sons hart an ordinary tever, as is probaidy the
case in every street in London, and every town in
the kingdom ; hut, thanks to the twulical skill, in
this place, it was soon subtitled, and the

as in every other quarter; and, perhaps, more so,

with the opportunity for external exercise, which

society.

TIIE RICH HON. WILLIAM ELLIOTT.

W, announced the death of this GentlernAn last

week. and it was our intention to pay a tribute
Of regret on the loss of so truly e\ceileo, a ch
ra, r, but as his merits have been well described
in The Morning Chronicle of this day, we shall

content ourselves with copying the article, to the
justice of which we heartily subscribe. Mr. EL-
LIOTT was the Gentleman to whom Mr. BURKE
addressed his memorable REFLECTIONS on the
French-Revol,ition

'` Mr ELLIOTT, though connected with Scot-
hind by descent and property, was born and edit-
cared in England,

" Intimate in early youth with the son of Mr.
Rothe, he was soon distinguished by the friend-
ship of that great man, and by that of his cele-
brated scholar Mr. Windham. With him the
bright society of their friends and followers is
nearly extinct. By his death his country has
lost one of her most accomplished Gentlemen,
and Parliament is bereaved of an ',mantel)! which
can hardly be replaced,
" Few turn have united so much dignity in
public uiti) such amiable qualities in private lift:
as Mr. Elliott, anti there, is no mart whose loss
will be felt with more sincere and untnitigled re-
gret. His eloquence was peculiarly his own. He
spoke seldom in Parliament ; but with a mild.
gravity, with etilent maths of conscious &Jibe-
ra•ion` and with an urbanity and equity towards
his oppon, nts, which gave an authority, to his
speeches unattained by the greatest orators of his
time.

" His utterance, his figure, and his counte-
nance, were suited to his eloquence. He had a
great power of condensation, a talent peculiar to
th,,se minds only who have gained a complete
mas►ery over the subject of discourse. His most
ingenious reasonings were conveyed in transpa-
rent language. His diction was pure English,
correct beyond. the level of public speaking, al-
v(ays elegant, and on fit occasions it naturally
rose towards majesty. io a word, he wanted no
quality necessary to instruct, to conciliate, and to
per.,nade. Others have spoken with inure force,
hnt no man ever spoke with more permanent
possession of the honest partiality of an audience.
It is true, that a pit of this gentle ascendant over
the House of Commons flowed from the character
of the man as much as Iron; the pavers of the
orator. His spotless life, his unbending irate•
grit, and his lofty sense of honour, were too ge-
nerally known, and too perceptible through his
modest deportment, not to bespeak attention and
favour for whatever fell from hint.

" These moral qualities were still more import-
ant in the relations of private life. His socie:y,
his good sense, and various knowledge, were
adorned by a most pine taste, and by an unusual
degree of unaffeved elegance in familiar conversa-
tion. As he was modest and delicate, he had
somewhat of the neighbouring quality of reserve,
and though his polished manners pleased those
who were stra•►gers to him, the charms of his so-
ciety were felt only by his intimate friends. In
the midst of the ter.rs and praises offered by a
whole Parliament to the memory of Mr. Horner,
none of the affecting speeches deliveted on nil
sides, conveyed more evidently the tribute of is
kindred spit it than that at Mr. Elliott.
" Perhaps it was an error in judgment that he
directed his attention more to the latter works of
Mr. Burke, written in times of heat and violence,
and applied to circinnstance happily of very rare
occutrenee, than ,o his earlier and calmer writ-
ings, which are more abundant in lessons suited
to the ordinary condition of society. , B►et the
n►oderatittnof his character tempered his opinions.
He delighted in the society of those who appEed
the same principles iu a manner very unlike to his
own), and perhaps he felt somewhat of that de-
light tsl.ich Mr. Windham said that he experiet►c-
ed when he escaped front his Ministerial con-
nexions, to breathe once more the free air of his
former societies, and of his old ft iendships.
" As his •own constant friendship survived the
shock of political difference, he reaped the reward
of this excellent part of his nature, in never ex-
citing alienation in his friends when he dif-
fered from them the most widely, and at the
most critical moments. On one occasion he was
compelled to dissent from that venerable person*,
whon► he called the last link in his public and
private friendships.' I: was a grievous calamity ;
but it served more brightly to display the firmness
of his principles, and the tenderness of his friend-
ship. Both these excellent persons reverenced
each other the more for their conscientious iiiffe-
reoce ; and their friendship was consolidated (for
a time, alas ! too short) by that which dissolves
vulgar connexions."

* Lord Fitzwilliam.

EXECUTION OF LoscH, THE MURDERER.—This
morning, at an early hour, the fatal apparatus
for carrying into effect the sentence of the law on
Francis Losch, who had been eimvicted on Friday
for the wilful murder of his wife at Chelsea, on
the 9th of last mouth, by stabbing ht.,- with a
knife, was erected at the front of the Dt bto:s'
Dour of New'gate. The unfortunate ctiminal ap-
peared on the platform a few miAutes before

Rev. Gentleman, the Pas,or of the German
Chord), who prayed a sl ort time, and was most
fervently Joined by the culprit. After a short in-
terval the usual signal was given, and he was
launched into eternity. After hanging an hour,
his body was conveyed to Sr. Bartholomew's Pos-
pital for dissecion. This unfortunate man, during
the awful ceremony, behased «lilt great fortitude;
he acknowledged the justness of his sentence, and
attributed the cause of the fatal crime to jealousy.
