At Tooting, Rev. Samuel Rollestone Cooth,

Aged 44, the wife of W. Roffey, esq. of Lambeth,

In Tottenham-court-road, at a cornchandler's, suddenly, aged 75, Mr. Cromwell, of Hammersmith. Though the property he has left is valued at 40,0007.; yet, when he first went to Hammersmith he was employed as a labourer in a malthouse. He commenced brewer in a very small way, and took out the beer himself

on

a barrow. In process of time the Creek brewhouse and surrounding premises became his property; but, notwithstanding the success with which he pursued his business, his personal expenses were very trifling. His clothes he frequently bought in Monmouth-street, and he wore them as long as they would hang together. His men always sat at the same table with himself, and he invariably helped them first even when friends or strangers happened to dine with him. The immediate cause of his death is supposed to have arisen from the following circumstances:-Some time since he sold 1000 quarters of malt, 300 of which had been delivered, when the purchaser objected to some of the sacks; on which Mr. Cromwell refused to let him have the remainder. He therefore took the opinion of Counsel, who advised him to teader the purchase-money, and demand before a witness the remaining 700 quarters of malt, which had meanwhile risen considerably above the price agreed upon. This the buyer accordingly did at the GENT. MAG. December, 1816.

Corn-market, a proceeding that highly incensed Mr. Cromwell, who is supposed during the paroxysm of passion to have broken a blood-vessel. He had reached Tottenham-court-road on his return home, and was carried in a dying state into a house, whence he was about to be removed to the parish workhouse. Some gentlemen, however, who happened to pass by, recognized him, and on searching his pockets found bank-notes to the amount of 14507. His two surviving brothers are heirs to his large property.
