Died, on Sunday evening, at her house at Weft End r ITampftead, in the 74th year of her age, Mrs. Reckford, re lift: of the late Right Hon. “ William Beckford, Lord Mayor of the city of London, and daughter and coheir of tlie Hon. George Hamilton, third son of James, 6th Earl q! Abercorn; lineally defeended from the Blood Royal of Scotland. . J iie son of a merchant in Birmingham, who happened to be at Sienna, Tuscany, during tlie late earthquake there#- has written the following account of it: “ Sienna , Sunday, May 27, 1798. Yefter%y, at to minutes past r, the moft terrible earthquake ever felt at Sienna took place. I was writing in my room with Mr. IT. when on a sudden a moft violent concuftive and reverberative motion almost threw 11s down* and affected us like an elcrtric fiiock; the servant who was with us artiially fell. It lasted half a minute, and then the moft tremendous noise was heard from t?he bowels of the earth. Aware that it was an earthquake, I cried out, rini * run: our rooms were inftantiy filled with dust, and the mortar and bricks fell about our ears. On defeending we? found all the city in consternation, the streets full of dull and fallen chimnies; and almost the firft objert I saw was a poor man wallowing in his blood, who had been thrown down from a fcaffolding. The streets resounded with the cries of wemen half diftrarted, while the men were engag ed in collerting their straggled families. I loon returned into the house, and found our walls all cracked, brick floor* burst asunder, windows broken and torn open, and in fliortr almost uninhabitable. We then went to the public walk called the Lizza, wheie Was collerted avast concourse of people and carriages, all exhibiting indefcribablc feenes of pain and miierv. ‘The earth on the walk was much crack ed, and all the houses in the city split almost from top t <3 bottom. Returning again home we determined to go to Lady Carolina Spannochi’s, when a second fliock made our room creak like a vessel in a storm. We found Lady C in the utmost distress;- a wall had fallen upon her elcleft foit and 12 others of the scholars in the college of the city: his bruised arm had been taken off but it was not exported he would live. Every where, as we returned to our lodgings* we heard the Cries of distress;. and at half past 8 o’clock third fliock, more dreadful than the former, determined u at all events to quit the city* We went to the Marquis of Landadare’s, Where we were well received, and found multitudes of fugitives; we passed the night on numbers of folks, chairs, mattresses, Sec. feeling an almost continual vibration of th: earth. In the morning we returned to the city and found ic almost depopulated. The people were on tlie Lizza, under a kind of tents; the rich there have no other habitations than their carriages. The churches are all damaged and Ehafs laid in the open air; indeed none of the public buildings can be fafely used. Sienna appears ter be ruined; another fliock will raze it to the ground.” Dublin, July 21. On Saturday last Kearns the Prieff, and Periy the Wexford Rebel General, were hanged by the sentence of a Court Martial at Edenderry. July 26. Y efterday MicTiael Byrne, of the county of Wicklow, was executed for high treason, pursuant to his sentence, at tlie front of the new gaol.

He was ex ecuted in a grey mixture coat with a black cape, and pan tafoons of the color of his coat,, wore a white vest, had hal£ boots; and was a complete crop. 1 ne rebel prdoners who have surrendered and are now confined at the Royal Exchange exhibit a just pirture of tne infernal caufie in which they had embarked, in the molt immoral and profligate behavior, by continued blalphemy and horrid oaths, cursing and abusing the yeomanry and his. Majesty s forces. T hey appear to be moft depraved Pruffianr,, equal to the commitment of any art of desperation- Bclfajl, July 27- Innocent Gain!, J anies He ran, and Matthew Ryan, were on the 18th inst. convicted before* General Court Martial, held at Cafhel, of treason and re bellion.
