At Hoton, near Loughborough, Mr. John Parkinson, 20.

In St. Nicholas's-street, Leicester, Elizabeth, relict of the late Mr. John Coltman, 74; a woman of uncommon genius and taste, though they have been buried in private life. At a very early age, her talents procured her the personal acquaintance and friendship of Shenstone, Dodsley, and Spence. Dodsley thought a landscape of hers, cut with a pair of scissars out of writing-paper, so extraordinary, that he caused it to be presented to her Majesty. Spence bequeathed her all his prints; some of them, which he had himself collected in Italy, were very valuable. Born with endowments that might have distinguished het from her sex, and qua lified her to shine either in a literary circle, or an exhibition of the works of painters, Mrs. Coltman devoted her whole time, after her marriage, to the service of her Maker, the duties of her family, and the mitigation

of distress in those around her. Itis believed by the writer of this article, who has known her intimately from twenty-eight years of age, that she never undertook any thing in which she did not succeed; or practised any thing in which she did not excel. In the several relations of daughter, wife, and mother, her conduct was exemplary. Two sons and two daughters, who inherit a greet por tion of their mother's virtues and talents, together with their father's, will bear witness, in their hearts, to this testimony of a friend.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

The old market-house in Cheltenham, which has long been in a state of dilapidation, lately fell with a tremendous crash. A fe. male was enveloped in the rubbish, and had her shoulder dislocated, and was otherwise much bruised; a large beam falling obliquely over her head, saved her life. Considering it was market-day, and the numbers passing and repassing, it seems a special providence that no other accident occurred.

The bridge is firm and tight in every part, and displays not the least appearance of strain from the great weight on every part.
