In

corded in our last number) was descended from an ancient, respectable, and opulent family in Devonshire, near Totness; which borough his father represented in parliament. In the course of a morning ride he called upon his friend Henry Crockett, esq. of Little Own Hall, wishing to inspect some alterations now making there, when his horse took fright, threw him, and thus put a period to his existence at the age of 89 years. He was endowed by nature with an acute and vigo rous understanding, which was greatly im proved by a good education and by classical studies: he was an excellent scholar, equally free from the ostentation of the pedantic, and the empty parade of the superficial; his maners were polished, refined, and gentlemanly, neither fastidious or licentious: though naturally warm in temper, he was most forgiv ing, kind, compassionate, and merciful. friendship he was open, sincere, and generous," neither disguising his real sentiments by mere formal civilities, nor avowing friendly intentions without correspondent feelings. At his table always plentifully supplied, his friends and neighbours ever received a hearty welcome: nor were the poor and the dis tressed forgotten by him, being ever ready and happy to relieve the wants of the former, and to mitigate the pains of the latter. His travels into foreign countries were extensive and judicious, and being more than once re peated, had made him intimately acquainted with whatever is most curious, entertaining or instructive in the finest portions of Europe. From all these causes, his conversa tion was refined, amusing, and instructive, and ever made him a desireable and welcome guest in the best and most polished society; indeed such was the versatility of his talents, and the variety of his acquirements, so elegant his manners, and so accommodating his disposition and habits, that his company was alike courted and admired by every class, by the young and by the old. His religious principles were in strict unison with those of the church of England, neither debased by deistical licentiousness, nor contaminated by supercilious and impious fanaticism. The infirmities of old age had for some years rendered him unequal to the active duties of h's sacred profession; as a preacher, his tone and manner were solemn and impressive; his enunciation clear and distinct his accer and emphasis most correct and judicious; his voice sonorous and audible. A chasm and void is occasioned, which his friends and acquaintance will in vain attempt to fill up or supply.

DERBYSHIRE.

A scheme has been projected for making a canal over the High Peak, to open a nearer and more expeditious channel of conveyance between the Metropolis, Manchester, and Liverpool; in the course of which canal, there are four miles and a half of tunnel through limestone rocks, and numerous locks, con4 E taining

taining together six hundred and eighty feet. The adventurers seem not to have considered that there is already a canal communication between the several places before mentioned, and that in point of distance it will be shorter than theirs, particularly when the intended improvements are made on the Oxford canal; and also, that their proposed line has upwards of one thousand feet more lockage than the present, with two miles more of tunnels. There is another matter which seems not to have been in their contemplation, namely, that as the sum to be necessarily expended will be enormous, the tolls must be high in proportion, and if high, then but few goods will pass, since the existing canals take only a moderate toll, and would of course take less rather than lose the trade.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

A subscription has been entered into at Grantham, for the purpose of establishing a school on the Lancastrian system.

The pillar on Lincoln heath was built in the year 1751, by a spirited individual (Sir Francis Dashwood) who dedicated it to public use. It stands in the parish of Dunston, and is a square pillar, encompassing a flight of steps, ninety-two feet high. Until within a few years it had at the top a lantern, fifteen feet and a half high, for the reception of which the structure was designed. The lantern was lighted up at night, and served as a beacon to travellers over the dreary and extensive heath. As soon as the circumjacent tract began, by inclosures and the formation of good roads, to lose something of its wildness, the lighting of the lantern was discontinued ; and for about thirty years the pillar has been of no use, beyond that of perpetuating public admiration of the liberal spirit of the founder. The estate upon which it stands, is now the property of the Earl of Buckinghamshire; and his lordship has put the column to a noble use, by placing, in the part lately occupied by the lantern, an extremely well finished colossal statue of our veneral King. It has been executed by Code, in artificial stone, measures fourteen feet in height, and stands upon a pedestal nine feet high. Though its elevation from the ground be one hundred and fifteen feet, yet the features of the statue are perfectly distinguishable, and have been admired by many hundreds of visitors. His Majesty stands erect, crowned with a sceptre in his right hand. On the west side of the pillar, (two feet above a short Latin inscription of Sir F. Dashwood,) is affixed a tablet with the following: "The statue upon this pillar was erected A.D. 1810, by Robert Earl of Buckinghamshire, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of his Majesty King George the Third."

The rapid improvements of drainage in this county will, very shortly, dry almost the whole of the marsh grounds; and the system now pursued of uniting the waters of as many

drains as possible, to pass by one large outfall to the sea, instead of discharging them, as heretofore, through several small ineffectual channels, widely distant from one another, will permanently prove and establish its superiority; for, in the latter cases, the out-lets, continually silting and choaking up, occasioned infinite mischief and expense, whereas, upon the present plan, the great body of water always keeps the course clear, and the lands secure, at a trifling charge. There is an improvement of this kind in contemplation, by six or seven parishes, between Alford and Saltfleet, which are now drained through three or four different sluices, but which may, with great facility, unite and pass their waters through one sluice, and this must evidently be attended with very great advantage to all, but, more particularly, to two of those parishes, (Theddlethorpe and Mablethorpe,) which will, at little or no expense, in the first instance, obtain a much better fall for their waters, and, for ever afterwards, be relieved from, perhaps twothirds of the charges that would otherwise be continually incurred, from the insufficiency of their present works of drainage. Thus it is clear, that the combination of measures so essential to the improvement of the low lands, cannot be too much encouraged, nor too speedily adopted.

STAFFORDSHIRE.

lad

led her more assiduously to cultivate those social and heart-binding virtues, which rendered her character most amiable, and continually drew round her, both of her own re lations and remote acquaintances, a circle of pleasing and elegant associates; who were charmed with the suavity of her manners, exhilarated with the unvarying cheerfulness of her disposition, and warmed with the benevolence of her heart. She possessed a bright and vigorous fancy, and her understanding was fervid and vivacious. She was a great lover of the belles-lettres, and had attained such proficiency in the practice of the delightful science of music, as to rank her the first amateur performer upon the harpsichord in the county. After a patient but ineffectual struggle with a delicate constitution, she cheerfully and serenely, as she bad always lived, resigned her life, rich in that faith and hope of future felicity, which leaves upon the minds of her family and friends, the sweetest impressions to console them for the loss of the object of their tenderness.

The hurricane which extended over the greatest part of the Kingdom the 10th of November last, raged with particular violence at Hatton, in this county. In the night of that day, or very early the following morning, the frame of a beautiful painted window, which in 1794 had been put up in the chancel by the late ingenious Mr. Eginton, was blown upon the ground to a considerable distance, and broke by its fall a massy grave stone: some large stones which supported it, were wrenched from the wall. The window itself, which had for some time been an object of admiration to the neighbourhood, was shattered into a thousand pieces, and one of the shutters which had usually protected it from the weather, was, blown over the church-yard and a little lane into an adjacent field.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

A melancholy accident lately happened at Belmont near Hereford, which strongly shews the great danger of sleeping within the influence of the noxious vapour arising from fires made of charcoal or coke, both of which are equally destructive to life. It had been the custom of the stable servants

to burn charcoal in the harnness room during the day time in damp weather, when the ventilation made by two opposite doors prevented the noxious effluvia from having any bad effects, One day the room wasa ired in this manner with coke, and more fuel of the same kind was imprudently added at night, and left in a burning state, when the doors were shut. The coachman and groom have their sleeping chamber immediately over the harness room. An alarm was given from their at appearing at breakfast the next morning, and upon going to their bedcham ber, the groom, a young lad of 17, was found quite dead, and the coachman with some signs of life remaining. The usual means of restoring suspended animation were immediately tried on both the bodies; all endea, vours were in vain towards the boy; the coachman appeared to revive a little by the unremitted application of stimulants, and even bied rather freely, but sensibility never returned, and he too died the following day. Thus two young men in the bloom of life, excellent servants, greatly regarded by the

family where they lived, and all who knew them, have fallen victims to an act of inadvertency. The carbonic gas has been supposed to be so much heavier than common air, as not to ascend to any great height; it might consequently have been imagined that this deadly vapour would not have penetrated by ascending from a lower room into one over it, between which, communication seemed to be cut off by a close ceiling, and a door well fitted at the top of a staircase. The present fatal instance proves that no person should think himself safe in sleeping in any situation near the poisonous influence of these effluvia, which are the more dangerous from being attended with little or

At Glocester, Mr. John Russell, late keeper of the prison in that city; a man who was remarkable for his kindness and humanity to those unfortunate persons who were committed to his care. It is a fact not generally known, that no adequate provision is made for the support of these persons, who, were it not for the contributions of the chari table and humane, must often experience the most severe privations. To the credit of Mr. Russell, it ought to be known, that he appropriated more than half his salary to this benevolent purpose; and to the humanity of the keeper, and the liberal contributions of a be
