As the organ of that assembly, he put and passed several resolutions for the establishment of schools there, on the royal Lancastrian system of education. There is to be a school for boys and another for girls, at Bury. On the 3d of April, Mr. Lancaster lectured in the Town-hall of Ipswich to which place he came by invitation. At Ipswich, as at Bury, the audience was numerous and respect able, and Mr. Lancaster's lecture was received with the most marked attention. The clergy of the place, seconded by the dissenters, called the chief magistrate to the chair, and with the most cordial good will men of all professions and parties were seen to unite in promoting the establishment of schools there. Subscriptions were begun, and a committee formed for the purpose of carrying the plan into effect for boys and girls.

The steeple of Harwich Church, on a late survey, has been pronounced in so ruinous and dangerous a state, as to render it necessary to be taken down and rebuilt. It having been for a great number of years a conspicuous seamark, we mention this circumstance for the information of mariners. We also mention it as a caution, that the inhabitants of those parishes in all parts of the kingdom, who may have towers or steeples to their churches, may cause an immediate inspection as to their being in a secure state.

SUSSEX. A petition from the merchants, ship-owners, and underwriters, of Lloyd's Coffeehouse, and others, has been presented to the House of Commons, for aid to improve and enlarge the harbour of Shoreham, in such a manner, as to render it a safe resort for vessels of considerable burthen; and little doubt is entertained but that a measure of such great importance, will, with all convenient speed, be carried into effect. By such improvement, this town will, from its vicinity, be particularly convenienced, even more than if the jetty some time since projected, had been effected, as it will, in this case, have all the advantages of commerce, without any of the inconveniences which, it was alledged would have attended Mr. Dodd's plan, to the great annoyance of visitors. Among other projected improvements in Shoreham harbour, it is intended to cut a canal from the docks there to Worthing; and also to make a canal, or iron rail-way, which will extend to the eastward, as far as Lewes. A Bill is now passing through the House of Commons, for reviving the ancient Roman road leading to Arundel, Bognor, and Chichester, from near Dorking. This great public improvement, effected by the spirit and exertions of some gentlemen in Surry and Sussex, will shorten the distance to Bognor and Arundel seven miles, and to Chichester two miles, besides passing through a level and fine part of the country. In consequence of the success of the school on Lancaster's plan at Lewes, one is to be established at Brighton. Married.] At Lewes, Mr. Frederic Lee, to Miss Wheeler.

Nathaniel Gilbert, of the island of Antigua, sequire, a gentleman of large landed property there, and chief legal magistrate of the island, the maternal sister of the late lady Colebrooke, and mother of the present lady Northampton. Through life, this lady was conspicuous not only for great good sense and very amiable manners, but also for the great sincerity of her attachments; a sincerity which was the result of affection, principle, and benevolence, alone. In an age in which the woman of fashion too frequently affects the most extravagant degree of moral sentiment, the purity of her conduct expressed the innate worth and value of her mind; and while her Charitable heart was ever ready to mitigate dis tress, the delicacy of her pecuniary favours never wounded the feelings of those, whom her bounty so liberally relieved. Though hand-ing, which was decorated with flags, in the some in her youth, she was totally free from vanity and affectation; her charity, though exerted on the precepts of the divine word, in secrecy and silence, was not confined merely to alms, but manifested by a liberal and charitable opinion of the conduct of all. So far was she from uttering scandal of any one that she did not even think it; and as to pride, if it resided in her, it was of that decent kind which preserved her within the bounds of virtue and propriety. Thus beloved and revered for three generations, in consequence of a debility of body produced by an arthritic complaint, she expired at the end of her sixty. second year, when threatened with a total loss of sight, leaving to her inconsolable husband, children, and other connections, the example of a woman, illustrious in every social department of life. Her remains were conveyed for interment to the family vault at Lambeth. BERKSHIRE.

At a very numerous and respectable meeting lately held at Guildhall, Bath, it was resolved that a Free school should be established in that city, on the plan of Mr. Joseph Lancaster. A subscription was immediately entered into, and a committee chosen to carry the Resolutions of the day into effect. The committee have evinced a spirit of liberality worthy of imitation, by opening a subscription among themselves, for purchasing a plot of ground, as well as for erecting the intended building, which will be accomplished by a 1ontine, consisting of shares of twenty-five pounds each. At a very respectable meeting lately held at the Guildhall, Bristol, at which the mayor presided, it was resolved, to establish in that city, a society under the title of "The Bristol Auxiliary Bible Society," of which the bishop of Bristol was elected president; and the mayor for the time being, the dean of Bristol, and the members of Parliament for that city, vice-presidents.

A few days before he was taking some refreshment at the house of one of his patients, when a greyhound entered the room, to which the deceased offered a piece of bread; in taking it, the animal snapped at what was offered him so eagerly, that his teeth violently pressed the deceased's fingers, but did not penetrate them. Inflam mation shortly after ensued, to which a mortification succeeded, and terminated in his death. |
