FlRES.—Wednefaay fe'nnight, in the forenoon, a
fire was dilcovered in the parfonage houfe, at Staple-
grove, in Somerfetfhire, occupied by the Rev. Mr.
CODRIWOTON, which loon reduced it to afhes, with
a quantity of furniture, &c. It is firppofed to have
been occafioned by a Rove-chimney being veiled too
near the thatch. The wind being uncommonly high,
blew large flakes of fire to a great diflance, fome of
which fell on tne houfe of a carpenter, named Beam,
which alto became a heap of ruins in a few minutes ;
from thence iI communicated to a large bottle, oc-
cupied by poor tenants, belonging to Mr. Wsratt, ef
Taunton, whi h was alto demolifhed ; but owing to
a good fupply of water, and the great exertions of
the people affembled, with two engines from Taus•
ton, it fortunately was prevented from further ra-

vanes.
Friday fe'nnight, Ratham Mill, near Fundingtnn,
Sofia, was burnt down, with corn and flour to a
large amount ; the damage is eflimated at 20001.
Laft Tuefday evening, between eight and sine
o'clock, a fire broke out in a thatched liable, occu•
pied by the Staff Corps, at Hythe, which in a thort
time dr:arc:rye,' the whole of the building. By the
fpirited exertions of the inhabitants and military,
aided by the town engine, and a plentiful fupply of
water, the flames were prevented from deilroying the
buildings near, one of which caught fire three different
times. The accident is Paid to have been occafinned
by the careleffnefs, or intoxication, of an offizer's ler-
! vans, who placed a candle among the horfes litter.
On Saturday Taft, as the Lady of Mr. WILLIAMS
was going from Mill•hill to Hendon, in her chariot
accompanied by two of her children, and •a gentle.
man, the coachman drove againll a cart on the
road : the (bock was fo violent that it threw him
from the box : the horfes being much frightened,
loon difentangled the carriage, and went off at full
(peed. The road along which the vehicle had to pals
was fo extremely narrow, that at any time it required
great caution to drive with fecutity ; notwithltand•'
ing which, the carriage was not overturned. Toe
horfes having to pafs another cart, they had the fa-
gacity, though they were going at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, to pals on one tide of it, but fo near
that the handle of the chariot door was ftruck off
by a colliflon with the wheel. Mr. WILLIAMS was
at a friend's houfe on the road when his chariot
paffed, and almoft fainted on feeing his wife and
children in fo perilous a lituation. Mrs. WILLIAMS
(bricked for afflitance to no purple ; the gentleman in
the carriage contrived to open the door and jump our,
by which means he efcaped unhurt. The horfes
continued their pace ; the flapping of the door tended
to incrcafe their (peed, until they came to a narrow
part of the road, when providentially the door of
the chariot became entangled in the hedge, which
(lopped for a moment the career of the animals, but
►hey loon ran off again with great rapidity ; they
broke all the traces, leaving the carriage behind,
and fortunately Mrs. WlLLtems and her children re-
ceived no injury whatever. They fuffeted much,
however, from the alarm The coachman was taken
up with three ribs broken, and fo violent a conttifinn
on his head, that his recovery is elerpas_r‘d of.

EASTER MONDAY.

Ye9erday, according to ancient cuftom, the LoaD
MAYOR went in Rate from the Mar.flun Houfe to
Chrift Church, Newgate-ltreet, attended by the Re
corder, Chamberlain, and other Ciry Officers, with
ten Aldermen, and the Sheriffs of London and Mid-
dlefex. The proceffion commenced before two o'clock,
preceded by all the boys of Chrift's Hofpital, with
their Matters, Beadles, &c. the City Trumpeters,
Marthals, and Marfhal's.men, with the area keepers
clearing the way before the (late coach, round St.
Paul's, and up the Old Bailey to Newgate ftreet.—
On the arrival of his Lordlhip and attendants at
church, an Anthem, fuitable to the occafion, was
fang by the boys, and an excellent fermon was
preached by the Right Rev. Father in GOD the Bifhop
of Sr. Darns's, who took his teat from the tenth
chapter of Hebrews; the 22d and 23d verfer. The
LADY MAYORESS was fuperbly (hefted, and rode in
the Rate-coach ; very few ladies were prefcnt.
Mr. Hoepswoavn, one of the City Martha's, went
to Temple Bar, whence he etcorted his Royal High-
nefs the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and his Aides de-
Camp, to the Manlier° Houle. His Royal Highnefs
arrived at the latter place precifely at five o'clock,
where he was received by a party of the London
Militia, who were drawn up in front of the houfe, to
demonlirate their regard for the fon of their Augull
Sovereign. On his alighting from his card rge, he
was met in the Great Hall by the Loan MAYOR and
LADY :\ LAY: asss, the Sheriffs and Aldermen, in their
Robes; who, preceded by the Sword and Mace,
condutfted his Royal Highnef,., to the tune of
the Ropy Beef rf GM Llig.land," to the Egyptian
Hall, where dinner was proviJed fur 4co perfons.—
There were four tables the whole length of the Hall,
with another acrofs at the head, at which the Loan
MAYOR and LADY MAYORESS prciided.

The Egyptian Hall, wherein the grand bantinet
was held, was decorated in a fuperb manner. The
tables were ornamentel with a profufo.n of coftly
devices, the ground-w;‘rk of which wa. prterre.—
On the right of his Lordthip were various Naval and
Military Trophies. On the left were Emblems of
Commerce, conveyirg ihr produce of Britain to the
four qnarters of the Globe. In the centre, two large
fplendid Temples, ornamented in gold, with artificial
flowers, &c. had a rod effeet. At the upper end
of the Egyp6an Hail there WAS a beautiful Crown,
in gilt lamps, with G. R. and motto, " Long may
he live !" two brilliant Stars, City Arms, and other
devices. The fixteen large (lone pillars were fur.
rounded by lights. In the Sal,trtn was a beautiful
Crown, in gold lamps, the pt:lsrs entwined with
fl ewers. The Ball Room was hung with immenfe
fefloons of double lights, and there wete alto nine
large fplendid Arches, in variegated lamps.
The illurriinations were on a very fuperb kale ;
the pillars wet e entwined with fmall variegated lamps
and oak leaves, with a Crown in the centre ; at the
bottom of the Egyptian Hall, the Prince's plume, in
fmall lamps, with a liar within a crefcent, had a very
good diet. The tables, as ulna!, difplayed military
and naval trophies. The dinner combined plenty and
elegance ; fixty difhes of fills, eight difhes of pea.
fowl, and twelve of Guinea fowl, graced the fetlive
board ; nor was the noble Baron of Beef forgotten, a
finer one was never produced on a fimilar occallon.
The defter t confiffedofthe finett fi uitsand fweetmeats.

the Loan MAYOR'S right hand; and below his Royal
Highnefs, the new Minitlers, Lords HAWKESBURY
and Cesmeasacti, and Mr. CANNING.; on the- left
hand fat the LADY MAYORESS and a number of
Ladies. After the ufual toafls were drank, his Lord-
fhip gave "The health of his liltifttious gtieft, the
Duke of CAMBRIDGE ;"—and, in a very handfome
fpeech, returned his Royal Highnefs thanks for the
honour of his company. His Lordthip then gave
" The health of General 13FNNIGSEN ;" alfo that of
the Emperor of Ruffia, and Alderman SHAW and the
Volunteers. At nine o'clock the Grand Saloon,
leading to the Supper Room, was completely filled
with company. Under the colonnade was placed a
Grand military band, which played, at intervals, the
molt favourite airs. The Ladies were elegantly
dieffed in white fprigged muffin, trimmed with deep
Bruffels lace ; feveral wore filver fpotted muffin, with
fall &eves ;—filver nets were univerfal ; diamond
aigrettes were much worn. The LADY MAYORESS was
elided in white Patin, trimmed with filver. Thofe
Ladies that joined the different dancing parties, were
principally dreffed in frocks, very fir itt, with pink
Itockings. At ten o'clock the ball room was thrown
open, and was immediately filled. By eleven o'clock
every apartment was crowded to,fuch an excels, that
the ttaircafe became the only refuge of the company ;
but even that relting place was not lung allawed them;
for the lervants, endeavouring to pals backwards and
forwards, canfed loch . confulion, that many Ladies
and Genh:men were thrown down, and a fcene dif.
played, that conk' be only equalled at Greenwich
Hill. The ball was opened by his Royal Ilighnefs
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and MifsWit.sna, daughter
of Mr. WILSON, of Lincoln's Inn Fields, M. P. for

agreeable glace of entertainment. Betides the beauty

THE EPPING nUNT.—That noble recreation for
the city youths, was fupplfed to have be-n 1,,a for
ever, there was not any hunt laa year. Yellerday,
however, one of the (mall black faced Deer was
turned out of Wandeact Palk. It ran Arrofs the
Forea and was clidely ptirlbed by a few of Mr. Bur-
rell's hounds ; e numbtr of other dogs of all dr.-fcrip•

upon the regularity of the chace. In (hots, it was a
greater bit! I,lque upon hunting than was tier feen
even at Epping until yeflerday There were very few
people prefent, from the fippolition already men-

LAW 12.7 A LLIGi NUE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 24.

IN THE MATTER JoHr./ 131WER, a LUNATIC.

This petition came hcfwe the LORD CHANCE LLoR,
upon the petition of Mrs. Bower, the wife of the 111
natic, and Edmiind Peckorce, of Bradford, in the
county of Yuk, banker, the Commi•tee, praying his
LordfVp o confirm the Mallai's Report.
The petition flared, among other matters, that at
the time of iffiling out the commiffieo, the lunatic was
poffeffed of a freehold ellate, of about 761. per ann.
and fome perf,nal property, .only of about the
valve of tool. and Hannah Bower, the filler and
Dear elt relative of the Lid lunatic, was appointed the
Committee of his perfon and eftate, and had the care
and management of his affairs for feveral years pre-
vious to her death, which happened in the mon h of
Atigull fall ; when a very conficierable property de.
volved upon the lunatic, as Ler heir at law and next
of kin. That upon the death of the laid Committee,
and in put foance of hi• Lordfhip's order, the pal.
ti••ner, Ann Bower, Elizabeth Bower, one of the
coufins of the lunatic and Abraham Hutchinfon,
another rclatinn of the lunatic, by their refpeetive fo-
licitors, attended and Lid before the Mailer their
feveral propofals (verified by affidavit) for the put.
pole of being appointed Committee of the perfon and
elhee of the lunatic ; Mrs. Bower further propofed
to become either the foie or joint Committee, with
Mr. Peckover ; and in fuppott of Inch propnfal, the
affidavits of the Rev. Mr. Lampleigb Hire), William
Pollard, Efq. Nathan Jewett, John Hardy, Efq. Re-
corder of Leeds, and feveral other of the molt refpec.
tab!e perfons of that neighbonthond, were made, tef-
tifyieg their knowledge of Mr. Peckover, and Ilating
him to be a banker of eminence ; and a perfon of
confiderable property, of unimpeachable integrity,
good morale, and univerfally effeemed and refpeeled.
It alfio appeared, by the affidavits of Doetor Hunter
and Doeior Bell, two phyficians, belonging to the
York Lunatic Afylarn, that, at that time, the lunatic
was per feelly rational ; and they thought he might
be fafely removed from the Afylum, to a private
hnufe, at Bradford or elfewhere, under their medical
care and fuperintendance. The petition further
Hated, that the Mailer certified, that be having con
fidered the feveral propofals and affidavits, in ftipacat
the, er,f ; and finding that the conteft for the Com
mitteethip had been carried on, with great eagernef,
by the feveral parties, who had fuppnrted their
claims by a multitude of affidavits ; and finding that
the lunatic was fo far rellored to teafon, as to make
it unneceffary to confine him longer in the Afyliun ;
it was his (the Malleei.) opinion, that the care of the
perfon and efface of the lunatic, could not be entrufted
to any one more fit and proper than Mr. Peckover ;
of ~whofe excellent charaCter he had filch ample tef-
timany ; but more particularly, becaufe of his nut
being a part of the family, and not having engaged
in the Conceit for tite Committeeffiip ; which latter,
fo tar fr-m bang an objeelian, was an additional tea •
Inn fo- appointing him. It alfo appeared that Mr.
Hutchhifon abjeeted to this report, comer ding, that
the Maffer fhcadd have reported him (iforchinfon)
to be a proper perfect to be appointed the Committee.
Mils E. Bower made no objeetion to the Report,
and the petitian now came on for hearing.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL, on behalf of Mr. Hert.
chintOn, applied for his coils in going before the
Matter wits his propotals, &c. and Mr. HIELD, on
the part of Mifs Baser, applied for a fimilar purpole.
He contended, that (he was entitled to her full ex-
pences, having been a near relative of the lunatic,
and having been the fir H perfon to carry in her pro-,
plats before the Matter.
The SOLICITOR GfiNFRAL and Mr. MARTIN, on
behalf of the Petitioners, Mrs. Bower and Mr. Peck.
over, edified this application ; and the former Gen-
tleman obfervect, that he did expect a petition ag,ainli
the Matter's Report would have been prefented,
when he fhould have been under the neceffity of
troubling the Court, at a very great length, upon the
iminenle mai. of matter with which the Mallet's Of.
fie: had been inundated, both by Mr. Hutchinfon,
who was only the fin of an aunt, and by Mifs
Bower, svit , was the daughter of an uncle of the
townie. He laid, he fhottld now only Bate, that the
It 'Wit', being difinharited by his father, had but a
very frnalli income, and his Mier Hannah, who haul
lately died, became the file object of their father's
bounty ; the it was who conttibuted to the fupport of
the lunatic and hi, family, and took out the cummif-
fion, and having lately died, the lunatic thereby be-
ceole entitled to a real ettate of nearly 'cool. per
aloe. um, arc(a perfonal property of near soot. per
annum more. While in a Rate of comparative po.
ye: ty, tslics Bower and Mr. Hutchinfon were un•
