Lord Holland, and asked 66 if there was any hope .."'
Lord Holland did not flatter him with a)pe; and his •
answer was received with all that quiet magnanimity
which distinguisheck. Mr. Fox's • character, and had
pervaded his whole life. Towards morning his
breathing was visibly affected ; all hope was at an
end ; nothing remained but to wait the event : nature
did not struggle much; Mrs—Fox, Miss Fox, Sur-
. geon Hawkins, myself, and one domestic, were alone
present.
The scene which followed was wonky of the name
of Fox. As his breathing became difficult, he no
longer spoke ; but his looks—his countenance gra-
dually assnmed a sublime yet tender air ; he seemed
to regret leaving Mrs. Fox solitary and friendless ;
and as he fixed his eyes repeatedly upon her, threw
into them such an expression of consolation as looked
supernatural : there was also in it a tender gratitude,
which breathed unutterable thanks; and, to the last,
the disinterested and affectionate, the dying husband,
mourned for another's sufferings, and strove to make
his own appear lighr.—There was the pious resigna-
tion of the ChristiAn, who fearlessly abandoned his
fleeting spirit to a nicrciful DEITY, visible throughout
the day ; the unbvliev,:r who " came to scoff, must
Ihave remained to pray." It was now Mr. Fox ga-
thered the fruits of his glorious life ; his departure
was wit:lffiest by remorse : he had sacrificed every
thing that was personal to his country's good, and
found his last moments blest with that reflection,
that his last effort had been conformable to the di-
vine religion which he professed,--to give peiee to an
afflicted world.: .

PILICE.
MANst. ow-Houss.—John Porter, the Keeper or the'
Exchange, and Thomas Hicks, the porter employed
under him, charged two gentlemen, named Steadman
and Hammond, with assaulting them, the preceding
afternoon, at or near to the hour for lockit.g up the
Exchange. This transaction, it appeared, arose out
of the bobbery, its it is called, which has taken place,
for several days past, in consequence of a new regu-
lation, by which, the doors of the Exchange, contrary
as it would seem, to the wish of many of the Mer-
chants, are ordered to be shut at four o'clock in the
afternoon. The complainant, Mr. Porter, stated,
that it had been the practice, ever since the regula.
tion in question had been adopted, for.certain persons
I who disapproved of the measure, regularly to deface,
with black paint, all orders on the subject which were
exhibited for public information. The particular as-
sault now complained of was confined to Mr. Stead-
man, and consisted in his striking Mr. Porter's hat
from off his head. The Lord Mayor ordered Mi.
Hammond to be discharged, and Mr. Steadman,
who is a respectable merchant in. Cannorwitieet, to
give bail to take his trial for the assault, which he
immediately did. To preserve the peace in the mean
time, the Lord Mayor declared it to be his intention
to send some of the Marshalmen and other City Offi-
cers to attend on the Exchange daily, till the Gre-
sham Committee should make some new regulation
on the subject.
A gentleman of the name of Prior charud a young.
mast named Pitt, assisted by another pMtbn named
/Yap, also in custody, with jostling him, on the pre-
ceding evening, in Cornhill, and twisting o e chain
and seal from his watch. The prosecutor tifore
sitively to the hand of the prisoner, Pitt, being at his
seal, but could not speak as to any active interference
on the part of the other prisoner.- Wolfe, therefore,
was ordered to be discharged, and Pitt to be commit.
ted for trial. The prisoner, Pht, addressing !Outsell
to the Lord Mayor, said, he believed his (the priso-
ner's) family was not unknown to his Lordship. He
had heard his father mention having dined with his-
Lordship in the house of a respectable gentleman in
Bond•street, whom .he named. The Lord Mayor
said, hE might have been in company with many peo-
ple, without being able to appreciate, far leis to an-
swer for, their character or conduct. Were the pri-
soner a relation of his owo, and brought before him
in such circumstances, he could do no otherwise than
he had done.
Bow-sraFarr.—Mondry J. ,Beaument, G. Kerry, and
another man, were charged at this Office, with injuring

it.ary Leaks was chargt:d with stealli:g 32 yards of
cotton, the property of J. White, a linen-draper, in
Ht,lbern. The prisoner went into the shop yesterday
.morning to purchase 4.1 trifling article, and after she
WAS gone out an alarm was given by some.persons
that she had stilen some cotton ; Mr. W. in conse-
quence, pursued her up a court, and challenged her
with so doing, which she denied ; but na his muting
her cloak on one side, be perceived the cotton con-
cealed. She was comm;stal for trial.

bone-place, appeared in consequence of summonses,

ficate of her marriage ; but the Magistrate admitted
a living witness, who was present at the cereleony, to I,
prove the marriage.
M. Maris, apprentice to Mr. Davey, a picture
dealer in Wardour-street, was committed front Marl-
borough-street Office, for robbing his master. It ap-
peared that many valuable pictures had been lost
from time to time, and that the prisoner was not sus-
pected, until Hamilton the officer detected him, and
also got back the greater part of the stolen property.
HATTON -GARDEN .—Y esterday two men, named
',Jacobs and Simmons, were charged at this Office, on
suspicion of ph king pockets at Sadler's %Veils ; but,
for want of some material evidence, they were com-
mitted for re-eLutnination. .
A Grocer, Butcher, and three Green-grocers, in
the neighbourhood of Clerk enwell, were severally con-
victed in the penalty of 51. each, for having their
shops open and vending their goods on Sunday during
• Divine Service.

The hovering angel who waited to receive his Sri-
:it saw that.he had tarried long enough upon earth ;
the evening advanced, and sinking nature announced
that his end advanced. " 1 die happy," said he,
fixing again and again his eyes upon Mrs. Fox he
endeavoured to speak farther, but we could nut un-
dv:stand his worth :he repeated the attempt—l af-
fected
to understand him, in order to relieve his anx-
iety Ti otter Will tell you," ttirning to Mrs._ Fox,
were his last words ! His countenance grew serene
and elevated ; his arms were a little raised to meet
Mrs. Fox's etnbrac.. ; his eyes, full of a celestial lus-
tre, continued brig it and unclosed ; and as the sett-
ing sun withdrew without distortion or struggle, but
with the same ‘un:hanged looks of benignity, •resig-
,,aion, and lone, which animated his face through-
ut this mournful day, he expired, leaving our sor-
t-ow almost obliterated by admiration at his exemplary
:nd happy end !

A boy, in the service of Mr. T. Fawcett, of Gate,
lately accompinied his master in shooting all day upon
_the Moors;,-and, in returning in the evening, his
master desired him to make the hest of his way home.
The boy proceeded on foot, But being much fatigued,
sat down, and fell asleep. How long he remained in
that situation is uncertain. as, when found, he was in
his own bed asleep : •a neighbour, passing on the road
early next. Moriang, found his clothes scattered in Va -
riots directions, nearly a mile off. The acconnt he
gave was, that he dreamt he had been at a neighbour's
house, at a good supper, af,er which he supposed he
went to bed there. It appears he actually walked
three miles though in a pr.tound sleep the whole of
the time; daring which he snipped off his cbpatlia, and
walked home naked, pased the gate? and went up
stairs to bed, the whole of the time being asleep.
