Giffard, Lieut. Governor; Mr. Innman, Professor at the Naval College; and Mr. Didhams, master shipwright; when 36 young men offered themselves, 18 of whom were reported to the Navy Board as sufficiently qualified for admission; who will select twelve for this establishment, in the first instance.

As some labourers were employed in digging an archway in this Wolsey's chapel, they discovered a coffin; the wooden one was decayed, but the leaden coffin was in a very good state of preservation. The inscription on it could not be made out. On opening it, the contents proved to be a woman, wrapped up in waxed canvas of 50 folds, and a child, in a very high state of preservation, in spirits. It was supposed to be the Queen of Edward the IVth. and one of her children. It was kept open a few days, and then again soldered up. Married.] At Wallingford, Mr. W. Hillyard, to Miss E. Cotterell.

SOMERSETSHIRE, At a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Clifton, lately held at the York Hotel, at which Mr. Auriol presided, it was determined that a commodious chapel should MONTHLY Mas, No. 207. be erected by private subscription, for celebrating public worship according to the rites of the established Church; which subscription was accordingly commenced. On Tuesday morning, October 23, about 11 o'clock, the inhabitants of Walcot-street, Bath, were alarmed by an explosion of gunpowder; and it was soon discovered that the house in Ladymead, near the river, where Mrs. Invetto, the ingenious fire-work maker, carried on her business, had been blown up, Mrs. Invetto and a young man, her assistant, and the adjoining tenements much damaged. were the only persons on the premises: the poor woman was rendered a shocking spectacle, and so deplorably burnt and disfigured that she died within twelve hours. The young man was carried to the Casualty Hospital, where he also soon afterwards expired. The immediate cause of the accident cannot be ascertained; but it is supposed to have gredients which were, with too little caution, arisen from the quantity of combustible incontinually scattered in every part of the room. in Orange-court, Bath, a similar explosion About twenty years ago, at a house, occurred, whereby the first wife and two children of the late Sig. Invetto met the same disastrous end. Catherine, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Married.] At Bristol, John Purrier, esq. to Rice Wasbrough -Philip Chabert, esq. to Miss Moir, daughter of the Rev.

On the night of Friday the 9th, and the whole of Saturday the 10th of November, the neighbourhood of Exeter was visited by the greatest fall of rain that has been remembered for many years past. The river Exe rose in consequence to an unprecedented height, overflowing the country for an extent of many miles, and carrying off in its rapid and tremendous course, ricks of hay, parts of houses, bridges, cattle, &c.; an immense quantity of apples have also been washed away; from the parish of Ide alone, it is supposed the quantity lost would have made one hundred hogsheads of cyder. In the evening of Saturday, the utmost consternation prevailed amongst the inhabitants of St. Thomas, from the recollection of the severe injuries sustained by former inundations. At midnight, the water was five feet high in most of the houses; and in the road leading from Oakhampton-street, it was six feet above the footpath. All the roads in every direction were impassable, and the coaches could not arrive until the next morning.At the Exeter quay, three vessels were driven a-shore on the wharf, and were got off with much difficulty on the following day. Another arch of Cowley-bridge was washed away, which renders that road, for the present, impassable. The bridge near Launceston, which divides Devon from Cornwall, is nearly destroyed. At Budleigh Salterton, she streamlet was so swollen, that two new. built houses were completely swept away, and carried, with great part of the furniture, into the sea. All parts of this neighbourhood have, in a greater or less degree, felt the effects of the flood; indeed every rivulet suddenly increased to an immense river, carry. ing with it cottages, cattle, barns, corn and hay-ricks, and almost every article that was moveable, leaving the poor suffering inhabitants in the greatest distress, deprived of their property and their homes, and exhibiting a grand scene of desolation wheresoever it extended. Various accounts have reached us from different parts equally cala mitous; but we most feelingly lament the very severe losses which numerous individuals must have experienced in the general wreck which the storm has occasioned. Dawlish, the most delightful watering-place on the Devonshire coast, has suffered severely: the improvements which had been made in this beautiful village, had been the admiration of all who had visited it; the rivulet which had been formed into a canal, was a charming object, and the ground on its banks which had been ornamented with gravelwalks, planted with shurbs, and enclosed as a pleasure-ground for the comfort of invalids who could not endure the more keen air of the sea beach, as well as to encrease the charming appearance of the place; all this was in a few hours swept away, together with several very good new-built houses on each side of its banks, and three large handsome wooden bridges, which were placed over the canal, of a size to admit the passage of carriages of every description: indeed, so rapid was the swell of the water, and so violent the current, that there was not, even time to remove any part of the furniture of several houses: the whole was hurried away, and the inhabitants narrowly escaped the ruin. At a respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Totnes, and its vicinity, held on the 25th of October, it was unanimously resolved that a library, on a liberal and permanent basis, should be established in that town, under the denomination of the South Devon Library ; that it should be raised by donations, and supported by subscriptions not exceeding one guinea annually. The Mayor and Commonalty of Plymouth, have resolved to erect a ball-room, a commodious hotel, with suites of rooms for noblemen and gentlemen's families, and also a theatre, for the greater convenience, accommodation, and amusement, of persons resorting to this town, as well as of the inhabitants, than it now affords; they propose to take up the sum of twenty thousand pounds to assist them in carrying on the work, by the grant of annuities on the lives of persons to be named by the subscribers: no subscription to be less than one hundred pounds on each nominee.. It is intended to appropriate part of one of the buildings to a public library. |
