after all instances of similar seizure, may
similar indications of mental deteriora-
tion or decay be discerned by a critical,
if not by an ordinary, observer.

In a considerable proportion of the convulsive disorders, which at different times have fallen under the Reporter's notice, their attacks were in the first instance ascribable to a much more destructive sort of excess than that which we have just had occasion to notice to the excessive use of stimulating and inebriating liquors,

In these cases, the intervals between the paroxysms, which were often of considerable length, were marked by a dejection approaching, in its degree, to an alienation of mind, unless when the thickness of gloom was at times broken, or attenuated, by draughts from what might be regarded as the fatal fountain of the disorder. The temptation, under such circumstances, is almost irresistible, to seek for oblivion of feeling in the Lethe of intoxication, in that kind of sleep of the sensibility out of which, however, the awakening cannot fail to be attended Wine, and with an accumulated horror. other physical exhilirants, during the treacherous truce to wretchedness which they afford, dilapidate the structure, and undermine the very foundation of hap piness. No man, perhaps, was ever compleatly miserable, until after he had fled to alcohol for consolation. The habit of vinous indulgence is not more pernicious than it is obstinate and pertinacious in its hold, when it has once fastened itself upon the constitution. It is not to be conquered by half mea. sures.-No compromise with it is allow able. The victory over it, in order to

be permanent, must be perfect. As
long as there lurks a relict of it in the
frame, there is imminent danger of a re
lapse of this moral malady, from which
there seldom is, as from physical disor
ders, a gradual convalescence. The cure,
if at all, must be effected at once: cut-
ting and pruning will do no good, nothing
will be of any avail short of absolute ex-
tirpation. The man who has been the
slave of intemperance, must renounce her
altogether, or she will insensibly re-assume
her despotic power. With such a mis-
tress, if he seriously mean to discard her,
he should indulge himself in no dalliance
or delay. He must not allow his lips a
taste of her former fascination.

Webb, the noted walker, who was re-
markable for vigour both of body and
mind, lived wholly upon water for his
drink. He was one day recommending
his regimen to one of his friends who
loved wine, and urged him, with great
earnestness, to quit a course of luxury,
by which his health and his intellects
would equally be destroyed. The gen-
tleman appeared convinced; and told
hin, "that he would conform to his
counsel, and thought he could not change
his course of life at once, but would
leave off strong liquors by degrees."
"By degrees, (says the other with in-
dignation,), if you should unhappily fall
into the fire, would you caution your
servants to pull you out only by degrees?"

INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON:
With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased.

A PLAN has been projected and matured

for the erection and establishment of a
new Stock Exchange, in opposition to that in
Capel Court. The ground allotted for the
purpose is said to be already purchased behind
the Bank, near to the corner of Coleman street.
A dreadful fire broke out, at two o'clock
on Monday morning, January 15th, at the
house of Messrs. Holtzapfiel and Deyerlein's
engine-manufactory in Long Acre, which con-
sumed the whole of the premises, and com-
municated to the adjoining house, belonging
to Messrs. Kempsten and Fairburn, leather-
sellers, which was also burnt to the ground.
The Crown public-house is also very much
damaged. The engines arrived as soon as the
alarm was given, but no water could be pro-

cured for near an hour on account of the
frust. The inmates of the house escaped
with great difficulty. No lives were lost.

finement, and therein was guilty of contempt of Court. Her ladyship made all advantage of this intemperate conduct: he was required to give security for keeping the peace in so large a sum, that he never would ask any friend to be bail for him, and has ever since, for the long space of 25 years, been a prisoner in the King's Bench prison. Lady Strathmore had afterwards interest to get a Court of Delegates appointed, which high Court pronounced a sentence of divorce between her and Mr. Bowes. During Mr. Bowes's confinement, his demeanour obtained the confidence of the different Marshals of the prison, who rendered it as light as possible. By application to the Court of King's Bench, the demand of heavy bail was withdrawn; but during his long imprisonment his affairs were become too far deranged ever to be settled; he therefore remained a priso ner for debt, but in that situation obtained the privilege of residing any where within the Rules. In all his misfortunes, the Duke of Norfolk, who had been his intimate associate in prosperity, remained his firm friend, and frequently visited him, when a single room, on what is called the State Side of the King's Bench Prison, was Mr. Bowes's bedchamber, parlour, drawing-room, and in short, the only apartment he could have for the accommodation of his family, and to eceive his illustrious guest.

In Dover-street, Mr. Michel, florist to the queen and princesses.

At Twickenham, Viscountess Dorvager Dudley and Ward.

In Oxford-street, Miss Kitter, of Nettlebed, Oxfordshire, 18. She was on a visit to her uncle, and on her return from the theatre, ore night, warming her feet by placing them on the fender, set fire to her muslin dress, which blazed up in an instant, and though two other persons were in the room, they were too much alarmed to render her any assistance: her clothes were burnt off; she survived in great agonies about four hours, and then expired.

At Charing Cross, Jeremiah Watkin, esq. one of the justices of the peace for Middlesex.

In the London Road, St. George's-fields, Andrew Robinson Borves, esq. whose marriage to the Countess of Strathmore, 33 years ago (when Captain Stoney), occasioned much bustle in the fashionable world. Pursuant to the will of her ladyship's father, he then took the name of Bowes (as Lord Strathmore, her first husband, had also done), and for a few years the splendor of his establishments, both in Grosvenor-square and at the mansion of Gibside, in the county of Durham, eclip sed those of all his competitors. His political connections were also among the higher class; not only a seat in the Lower House, but the dignity of the Irish Peerage was destined for him, under the Rockingham Administration: but this bright aspect of his affairs was soon In Ely Place, J.

In Little Marybone-street, Mrs. Jane Ridley, 68. She died almost for want of the common necessaries of life, although in the midst of plenty; her property was left to two sisters, one of whom, on hearing of her death, died in a few hours.

In Charles-street, St. James's Square, John Hoppner, esq. R. A. one of the most eminent portrait painters since the time of Reynolds, He might indeed have merited the praise of being the first, if he had not been so close' an imitator of the style of that great master, as it related to the spirit and elegance of his touch, forcible effect of light and shade, picturesque back-grounds, graceful simplicity of attitude, and especially the richness and harmony of colouring, in which he certainly excelled all his cotemporaries. In some of his best coloured works, such as the Nymph, in the possession of Sir J. Leicester, the vivacity, truth, and delicacy of the various fleshy tints, have scarcely been But if he could surpassed by any master.

ally that of incorrect drawing of the human
figure, a defect for which not even the colour-

At Somers Town, Mr. Wilde, of the
Theatre Royal, Covent Garden., He was
reading, and complained of a sudden pain in
the back part of his left hand, which instantly
ran up his arm, and only allowed him the
opportunity of requesting to be put to bed,
which was scarcely done when he expired.

In the Adelphi, John Flamank, esq of
Wallingford.

At Millbank, John l'idler, esq.

In Harley-street, Cha oner Arcedcckne, esq. Paul Sandoy, esq (whose death is recorded at p. 535 of our last volume,) was descended from a branch of the family of Sandby, of Babworth, Nottinghamshire, and was born at Nottingham, 1732. In 1746 he came to London, and having an early bias towards the arts, got introduced into the drawing-room of the tower. Thence, after two years, he was appointed draughtsman under the inspection of Mr. David Watson, who was employed by the late Duke of Cumberland to take a survey of the Highlands. During this excursion he made several sketches from, the scenery of that romantic country, from which he afterwards made a number of small etchings, which were published in a folio volume. From this circumstance, perhaps, we may account for the bold and striking style by which the paintings of this excellent artist are so peculiarly distinguished. In 1752 he quitted this employment, and resided with his brother at Windsor. Several of the most beautiful views in the neighbourhood of Windsor and Eton now became the subjects of his pencil; here also he attained that sk 11 in depicting Gothic architecture, which gave so beautiful an effect to these landscapes, that Sir J.

Banks,
