Harvey Redmond Morres, Viscount and Baron Mountmorres, of the kingdom of Ireland, by his own hands.-For fome time paft his Lerdfhip has betrayed fymptoms of uneafinefs. He wrote a letter to Dr. Willis on Thursday, defiring to fee him on Friday morning, as he fei❤himfelf indifpofed. The Doctor came to his lodgings but a few minutes after he had perpetrated the act. a nobleman of the most extenfive political knowledge and hiftorical information, a liberal pation of literature, and the author of fome very useful works, we have to deplore the rash act which has, in him, deprived fociety of an ufetul and valuable member. He was a ftaunch fupporter of the just prerogatives of the crown, but a determined enemy to the meafures which have reduced his native country to its prefent deplorable condition. He was the leading champion of his Majefty's rights during the important difcuffions of the celebrated Regency queftion in the Inf Parliament, upon which fubject he wrote at the time feveral very able and much admired effays. His labours and his fervices on that memorable occafion be.ng overlocked by Ministers, he felt himself feverely hurt and neglected. This circumstance, however, by no means operated fo deeply upon his mind as to produce the dreadful catastrophe which we have now to lament: the immediate caufe we believe to be the alarming accounts received by him from Ireland within the last fortnight of his lite. He had, by a courfe of prudence amounting to parfimory, created in fact a very caly fortune; for trom a very small encumbered eftate he is fuid to leave a clear socol. a year. We understand that he per. petrated the fatal deed with a loaded pistol, the contents of which he fhot completely through his head. He died at ten o'clock in the morning, and is fucceeded in his title by his half-brother, Francis Henry Morres, new Vifcount Mountmerres.

In the Fleet prifon, the once celebrated Mrs. Cornelly. She was by birth a German, and for many years was a public finger in Italy and Germany. She came to this country between thirty and forty years ago, and being of an enterprizing fpirit, poffeffing a good understanding, great knowledge of mankind, and fpec.ous manners, the con trived to raise herself into notice, and obtained the patronage of the fashionable word to all the amufements her taste and fancy tuggested. For many years her large mantion entitled Carlile Hoofe) in Scho-fquare, was the favourite region of amufement among the nobility; and it was fo well contrived for dis verified amulement, that no other public enter entertainments could prevail to rival its attractions. The frft event that fhook her influence was the introduction of an harmonic meeting, as a fort of competition with the Opera Houfe. The proprietors of the latter were therefore alarmed; they applied to the magiftrates to fupprefs this novel amufement. Sir John Fielding vigorously interfered in their behalf, took Guadani, the chief finger of Carlifle House, into custody, and effectually put a ftop to the whole undertaking. This was a fevere blow to Mrs. Cornelly, because the had been at a confiderable expence to render the plan, if poffible, fuperior in attraction to the Italian Opera; yet, by her concerts, balls, and masquerades, the still made a confiderable igure; but her expences were great, and her nfluence was evidently on the decline, when fashionable amufement was inftituted among the ladies, entitled The Cuterie. The blow, however, that finally crushed her was the Pantheon, the beauty and magnificence of which drew away all whofe patronage could give fanction to a public entertainment. Her creditors then began, to grow clamorous, and she was at length obliged to reLinquish the concern, and feek in concealment a refuge from legal profecution. She remained in obfcurity for many years, under the name of Mrs. Smith; but a year or two ago fhe came forward again-and here our readers will no doubt learn with furprife, not unmixed with rifibility, the ftrange tranfition in her fate; for the who was once a Leader of Fashion, became literally the Superintendant of Alles; for fhe kept a house at Knightsbridge, and was a vender of Affes milk-In this fituation, however, she still retained a defire of refuming her former purfuits, and for this purpose ornamented a fuit of rooms, in order to have occafionally a public dejeune for people of fashion. The manners of the times, however, were changed, and her taste had not adapted itself to the variations of fashion; and after much expence employed in gaudy and frivolous embellishments, fhe was obliged to abandon the fcheme, and feek an asylum from her creditors. She had a fon and daughter, to whom the gave all the accomplishments of modern education. The fon was tutor to the prefent Lord Pomfret. He was a very amiable man, and an excellent fcholar. He allowed his mother an annuity till his death, which happened a few years ago. The daughter is ftill alive, and under another name, has long been patronized by fome noble families, who knew her mother in better days. The late Lady Cowper left her an annuity, which she at prefent enjoys, and her mufical talents procure her an eafy introduction in polite circles. Such was the fate of the once celebrated Mrs. Cornelly, whofe melancholy end holds forth a warning to the imprudent; for with common difcretion fhe might have closed her life in affluence.

BY a mistake which we shall not trouble our readers with explaining the cause of, fome part of the impreffion of our laft Magazine had a wrong account of the place where the Cathedral of Burgos ftands, we therefore intreat fuch of our readers as may poffefs that erroneous account will correct it by the following: *BURGOS is a fmall Town, very ill-built, very dirty, and containing only one fquare, furrounded with wretched houfes. Its Cathedral and the Archiepifcopal Palace are the only edifices that deferve attention. They are both Gothic, and both huge enough; the Cathedral efpecially, which contains fourteen or fifteen chapels, and a facrifty very grandly adorned. It would require a volume to register the riches that fome of thofe chapels contain. In the middle of the church there is an inclosed fanctuary, made after the manner of the holy chapel at Loretto, which was built long after the church, as one may fee by the flyle of its architecture, which is of the Corinthian order. That fanctuary contains a miraculous crucifix, or Chrifto, as they call it there; yet not quite fo miraculous as another that is in the church of the Auguftines. In the church of the Trinitarians there is a third, miraculous likewife. Without the town there are fome public walks, very pleasant, as they overlook a romantic landscape, beautified by the rapid and noify river Arlanzen, which is croffed over by a stone bridge very well built,"-BARRETTI'S TRAVELS. 132 EACH DAY'S 1778.
