Archbishop opposite to them, and the Lord Chancellor ftanding behind him; the Prince of Wales next to the Duchefs of York, and the Duke of Clarence next to the Duke of York. The Princefles were feated on chairs at a distance from the altar, in the Saloon.

As foon as the ceremony was finished, the Duchess of York went to his Majefty, and attempted to kneel, which his Majefty, with fome difficulty prevented; and, raising her in his arms, affectionately embraced her. The certificate of the marriage was then figned by their Majefties, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Clarence, and, laftly, by the Lord Chancellor. After which, the Bishops and the Lord Chancellor retired, and immediately left the Queen's house.

The Royal Family returned to the Queen's drawing-room; and, at a few minutes before eleven o'clock, the Duke and Duchefs of York went to York-house, where they were accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Clarence; an elegant fupper having been provided, by the direction of his Royal Highnefs of York, for their en

tertainment.

The Prince of Wales gave the Duchefs away.

The Royal Family have prefented her Royal Highness the Duchefs of York with a moft elegant and valuable afsortment of diamonds, confifting of ear-rings, necklace, ornaments for the head, &c. &c.

The Duchefs of York takes place (after the Queen) of every female in this country.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.
September 14.

About half past ten o'clock at night, a dreadful fire broke out near Cherry Garden Stairs, Rotherhithe, which, from the tide being low, and but little water to be had, burnt with great fury for a confiderable time.. It began at a chandler's, but how is not known: several barrels of tar were on fire before it was difcovered. A number of engines attended, both on the river and on the fhore; but, from the difficulty, of finding water for the latter, and the impoffibility of bringing the latter near enough, the flames for a long time spread with the utmost fury. It was fix or seven o'clock in the morning before the violence of the flames was any way got under, by which time above fifty houfes were burnt down, many of them warehoufes, containing property to a very confiderable amount, of which very little was faved. The flames having communi

cated to the shipping in the river, great fears were entertained, that a number of veffels would fall a prey to the rage of the fire, as there was no poitibility of drawing them off, owing to the water being ebb. The Ranger, Capt. Swain, from the South Seas, and a fmall brig, were burnt; but, by great exertions, the flames were prevented from communicating to any other veffels, at least from destroying any other.-Many poor 1milies are burnt out, and their little all deftroyed.

During a thunder-storm, a large oak, which has ftood time immemorial in Dean's Yard, Westminster, was, by a fudden fquall of wind, broken short off within three feet of the ground. Luckily no damage was done. October 27.

About feven o'clock in the evening, Monf. Verteillac made his efcape from the Fleet prifon in a manner fo unfufpected by the Keepers, that the first intelligence, leading to a difcovery of his having found means to get out of the prison, was given by the mat ter of the Bell-favage inn, through which he was found to have paffed. He is the perfon who fome time fince was imprisoned in the King's Bench, and endeavoured to make his escape from thence. The debt for which he was detained is faid to amount to 5,000l. A rope-ladder, with steel steps, was thrown over the wall, by two foreigners, from a window of the Bell-favage inn which overlooks the prifon. By this ladder he afcended, and afterwards passed through the inn without fufpicion or interruption.

Wednesday, November 2.

The following very melancholy accident occurred in the houfe of Mrs. Clitherow, a firework-maker, at the upper end of Halfmoon-alley, near Bishopsgate-ftreet.— Mrs. Clitherow, with two journeymen, and her eldest daughter, being at work in her fhop, to complete fome orders against the 5th inftant, about half an hour after one o'clock fome tea was proposed as a refreshment; while they were drinking this, fome of the materials upon which they had been at work, by unknown means, took fire, when Mrs. C's eldest daughter ran up ftairs to alarm her three fifters, who were in bed. -Her fitters prefling her as to the fafety of their mother, the came down again, but not till the flames had got to fuch a height, that, every attempt to get out of the front door proving abortive, the, with one of the men, got into the yard. She there first perceived that her cloaths were on fire, which the man had scarcely extinguished, by aflifting her to get into the water-tub, before a beam fell, with the explofion of the roof, and broke his arm. At the fame time, both the roof and the gable-end of the next house, Mr. Gibbs's, was forced into the street, by which a perfon, who lodged in the garret,, was thrown

thrown out of his bed upon the ground at feveral yards diftance: this man's thighs were broken, and he was otherwife much hurt. It was not till fome time after the principal explosion, that the two unhappy people in Mrs. C's yard were found by the populace, almost intombed in the smoking ruins. The young woman was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hofpital, and the two men to St. Thomas's. It is fuppofed, that the mother, and the other journeyman, fell a facrifice to an attempt to extinguish the flames in the shop below, as the principal part of the powder, which was depofited in the garret, was a confiderable time before it took fire. Five lives were loft: Mrs. Clitherow, her three daughters, and one journeyman; and no perfons were hurt befides thofe abovementioned. Mrs. C's houfe is entirely confumed, but the two adjoining are only confiderably damaged; as were the windows and tiling of almost all the houfes as far off the fpot as Broad-street-buildings. The explosions were very audible, fo far off as Fleet-ftreet, and was at first fuppofed to have been an earthquake, and the flash feen as of lightning in Alderfgate-street.-Among the fhocking remains of the fufferers difcovered in the following day, were the three children's fkeletons, and one of Mrs. C's arms, which was known only by two rings upon the fingers. It is remarkable, that the late husband of Mrs. C. had a fimilar accident, on the fame spot, about thirty years fince, when feveral lives were loft.— Her eldest daughter died on the 14th inftant, in St. Bartholomew's Hofpital. Her eldest fon was not prefent when the accident happened; but (we are forry to add) a fon of his, who was apprentice to a lighterman, fell over the fide of a lighter on the Wednesday following, and was drowned in the Thames.

Thursday 10.

Between twelve and one in the morning, a fire broke out in the fecond floor of the houfe of Mr. Wilkins, Blackwell-hall factor, near Cooper's-hall, Bafinghall-street, fuppofed to have happened by the maid-servant carrying a candle into a clofet. She had the prefence of mind to prevent a communication in the outer room, whereby the house was faved; though the whole floor, with all the wearing-apparel, bedding, &c. were deftroyed. The family, returning from spend ing the day at Mr. Wueeler's, apothecary, on Ludgate-hill, were stopped at the alarm of fire, and told it was in their own house.

attach them, as for a contempt; though perhaps it might be questionable whether the Quarter Seffions have fuch an authority.The Jurors, having been guilty of a misdemeanor, are alfo punishable by indictment; which, if any course were to be taken against them, would be more conftitutional than the process of attachment. But wife policy, in my humble apprehenfion, forbids any criminal animadverfions at all.

"The inftitution of Juries, like every hu. man inftitution, has its defects. That of a compulfive union of fentiment and opinion is one of them: this effect of it feldom happens; and, happening fo feldom, is better paffed over, than, by criminal process against Jurors, incurring the risk of weakening, in the public mind, the reverence fo justly due to the great palladium of our freedom.→ Their crime, in the prefent inftance, does not appear to have been corruption; and, where no motive is affigned, one fhould fuppofe the best. They poffibly might have been guilty of the violence to escape corrup tion. Their verdict undoubtedly cannot now be received, neither can they be re-affembled: the trial must be de novo.

STATE OF AFFAIRS ABROAD.

The Political State of European Affairs has received but little alteration fince our laft publication. The emigrations from France have indeed much increased by oppofition ; and there is now no hope left of establishing the new Conftitution without bloodshed.

It appears to be the with of the furrounding nations, that the antient form of the defpotic government of France may be reftored; and fome very extraordinary steps have been taken to get the King wholly into the hands of the Fugitives for that purpose: but thofe fteps feem to have been taken by men who have more at heart the gratification of their own ambition, than either the life of the King, or the happiness of his people. It is by no means poilible for a byftander to fathom the true motives by which his Swedish Majefty is governed on the prefent occafion. His conduct is paft finding out; and the Declaration of War against his fubjects by the Algerines is not more myfterious than his propofition for war against the French nation. Time, however, will foon develope these mysteries.

If we fee reason to conclude, that neither the difafter that has befallen our troops in the Ealt, nor the infurrection fo fatal in the West Indies, is fo great as was first reprefented, we hope not to be suspected of partiality in our reprefentations we believe both to be much over-rated. The cry that has been fet on foot to raise the price of fugar is certainly a trick of trade. Were the whole island to be funk in the fea, there would be fugar enough left to fupply the wants of the rest of the world.

His real estate (not an acre of it entailed) is near 5000l. per annum; the perfonalities of which Sir Herbert died poffeffed are expected to amount to 60,000l.
