INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON: With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased. ATa Court of Common Council held on Weinesday, March 14th, the committee of city lands presented a report and plans for the removal of Smithfield market. A long de bate took place, and on a division there were for the removal 79, against it 76; so that it was carried to remove the market to a field between Sadier's Wells and Islington; a change on which the inhabitants of the metropolis may be congratulated. On Tuesday, March 13th, at half-past one o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Noyes, sadler, in Dukestreet, Aldgate, which was first discovered by the watchman going his rounds, and on his giving the alarm, Mrs. Noyes, who slept in the third story, with difficulty escaped to the top of the house, and from thence into a window of the next house; but a servantmaid who was following her, and a child, the grand-daughter of Mr. Noyes, were both engulphed in the flames, and perished. The same morning, at three o'clock, a fire broke out at a tallow-chandler's shop, in Holles Holles-street, Clare-market, which raged with such violence, that in an hour the whole of the premises, together with an adjoining house, were destroyed. The inhabitants had no time to save any of their effects. and three persons lost their lives. The bodies of an elderly man and his wife have been dug out of the ruins: another person, an inmate in the house in which the fire broke out, is still missing, supposed to have perished. The second floor of the tallow-chandler's house was inhabited by a widow and her daughter, in a sickly state, who was removed with great difficulty, and died in a few minutes after leaving the house, in her mother's arms.

Mr. Ward commenced business in Henriettistreet, in the year 1766, and his eminent abilities, aided by a persevering disposition and strong wind, acquired him that distinction in his profession, which he main ained to his last moments. In politics, he was a staunch whig, and early in life became a member of the whig club, and a zealous supporter of the Cause; he took a very active part in Mr. Fox's first election for Westminster, and his zeal was unabated when in conjunction with Edmund Burke, esq. and other distin guished guished characters, he warmly espoused the cause of his friend, lord John Townsend, in his opposition to Lord Hood. Mr. Ward was married in 1772, to Miss Eleonora Hucks, a lady distinguished for personal charms and accomplishments, who died in 1800, and by whom he had no children.

On the last mentioned day, a barge man perceived the body floating in the river, opposite to the Horseferry, Miloank, and conveyed it to the Brown Bear public house. From the description of his person and dress, previously given in public advertisements, he was soon recognized. The melancholy fate of Mr. Eden is the more difficult to be accounted for, as in evidence before the coroner's inquest, it appeared that there was no sympton of mental derangement in any part of his conduct; but that to the very hour of his leaving home, he was engaged in transacting business with that precision and punctuality for which he was remarkable. The jury returned a special verdict of-Found drowned in the river, but by what means the body came there, there was no evidence before the jury.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. IT has already been stated that the principal in habitants of Newcastle, previous to the late jubilee, resolved to subscribe toward the esta blishment of a school for the instruction of poor children, instead of illuminating on that occasion. At a meeting of the subscribers held on the 26th February, it was resolved that a building should be erected for the purpose; that the system of Dr. Bell and Mr. Lancaster should be adopted for the instruction of children in reading, writing, and the rudiments of arithmetic; and that the intend ed building shall also be used on the lord's day as a place of public worship, agreeably to the usage of the church of England, for the benefit of the children belonging to the said church, of the parents of such children, and of such other poor persons as may chuse to resort thereto. This latter resolution has given umbrage to several liberal and phiIanthropic contributors, of different religious persons' persuasions, and threatens, unless conciliatory measures be adopted, to subvert that cordial unanimity which at first seemed to inspire all parties. The workmen, in digging the foundation for the county court, in the castle Garth, Newcastle, have found a Roman spur, which, by the antiquarians, will no doubt be considered as a valuable relique.
