At Coggeshall, Mr. Jordan Unwin, 74. KENT. It is in contemplation to take into consideration a plan projected by Mr. Rennie, for the junction of the Medway, Rother, and Stout, by means of navigable canals. The line of the canal proposed for the junction of the Medway and Rother, is from the Medway at Yalding to Horsmonden, thence by Frittenden to Galiows Green, near Tenterden, and from thence to the royal military canal at Stone, which connects it with the Rother. The line projected to unite with the Stour is proposed to branch off at Middle Quarter, near High Halden, which in its course will embrace Ashford, and be continued to Wye, from whence it may without difficulty be extended to Canterbury. The total cost of this last line, twenty-seven miles in length, is estimated at 109,744. of the former line, nearly thirty-four miles in length, 190,688. If then the advantages to be derived from this proceeding are so ob vious to the landed interest of the county, of how much consequence is it to the trading interest of Canterbury, that some immediate steps should be taken to obtain a navigation from thence to the sea; and as the enormous expense of land-carriage may not be within the knowledge or conception of the trade of that city, we give, as an instance, that of the carriage of coal only, during the last two years. In the years 1808 and 1809, the quantity of coal brought into Canterbury, and on which the pavement duty of 1s. per chaldron was paid, was 18 250 chaldrons, being an average of 9125 yearly; which, at the rate of 13s. per chaldron, (the price paid for land carriage.) gives 59311. 5s.; a summ equivalent to discharge the interest of nearly 120,0001. more, hy one-sixth, than the estimate of the whole cost of canal, har. bour, &c. It is to be observed here, that the carriage of coal only is calculated; if then that of hops, timber, stone, wool, lea ther, grocery, shop goods, &c. is added, and which in 1802 was estimated at 13,000 tons annually, and calculated to cost 72501. it will be found that the saving to the public will be more than one-half of the present price paid for land-carriage of every descrip tion. A project is in contemplation to construct an harbour at St. Nicholas Bay, on the northeastern coast of this county. It originated with some merchants in London, with a view of obtaining a shelter for those vessels which in the winter season are so much exposed on the Kent coast. It is proposed to make the harbour capable of receiving vessels of 500 tons burthen.

She was a woman of superior abilities, mistress of the Latin, French, and Italian languages; but these acquirements, far from exciting a wish to attract the notice of the world, rendered her doubly solicitous to fulfil all the rela tive duties of society, to which no female could be a more genuine ornament. Mild, charitable, charitable, and friendly, her extensive mental resources became a well known fund of intellectual pleasure to others, and of exhilaration to herself DORSETSHIRE.

At Chittlehampton, Mr. Benjamin Radford, surgeon, of Chumleigh, to Miss Mary Haache, only daughter of John H. esq. At Plymouth, Lieut. Giles, of the Royal Marines, to Miss Cree. Died.] At Exeter, Major C. Ward Orde, late of the 9th light dragoons-Mr. Ellis, drawing-master. Mr. Ellis had received a liberal education, which had been much improved by his own study and experience. He possessed very respectable abilities as an artist, and his appearance, manners, conversation, and behaviour, were those of a gentleman. He had resided in this city about four years, and instructed a number of young persons in the art of drawing, in which he was very successful; but it appears, that previously to his arrival he had been very un ortunate, and being encumbered with a load of debt, all his industry in his profession was insufficient to the maintenance of his family, and to pay off occasionally such sums as he was called on by his former creditors to discharge. Thus situated, his little earnings being continually drained from him, with a constant fear of being arrested, and scarcely allowing himself sufficient nutriment to sustain life, he pined in secret; and though his external appearance betrayed no signs of poverty, surrounded on all sides by those who esteemed him, and who, had they known his real situation, would have been happy to assist and relieve him, he died iterally of a broken heart! leaving a family of four young chiliren, and a widow very far advanced in pregnancy with the fifth. Their distressed situation, on the loss of a husband and a father, and left destitute of every support, without provisions, fuel, clothes, or any of the necessaries of life, can better be con. ceived by those who have feeling hearts, than it is possible to describe. At Sidmouth, the Hon. Mrs. Cocks, widow of the Hon. Reginald C., youngest son of the late Lord Somers, and second daughter of the late James Cocks, esq—Wm. Bacon Esq. of Carr House, near Donester.

At St. Columb, Mits Maria Wornanton, 19. Considerable improvements are proceeding by the direction of the corporation, on the Burrows, at Swansea. The pleasureground will consist of a garden of about four acres, of which a considerable proportion will be laid out in grass pat terres, shrubberies, plantations of forest trees, with an extent of gravel walks within its boundary of more than 800 yards; besides this, there will be a grand esplanade facing the south, forty feet wide; twenty of which (in the centre) will be gravelled, and the sides laid down in turf, of the length of 250 yards, commanding an uninterrupted in the Monmouthshire collieries. Neath view of the bay, piers, and shipping. On the east, north, and west sides, there will also be gravelled avenues of more than 1100 yards, so that above eight acres of ground, and nearly one mile and a quarter of walk, will be laid out, and dedicated by the corporation of Swansea to the use and enjoy. ment of the inhabitants of the town, and its casual visitors; which, if kept in a neat manner, with a sufficient barrier to exclude improper trespassers, as also a guard against the commission of every species of nuisance, will afford both health and pleasure to the frequenters of this favourite spot, and add to the celebrity of the town, by giving this welltimed effect to its unrivalled natural beauties. The labourers employed by Mr. Yalden, in the limestone quarries at the Mumbles, near Swansea, lately cut through a complete cemetery, in which were found immense quantities of human bones of a very large size: from the position and the confused state they were discovered in, it is highly probable that this spot was the burial-place of a vast multitude who perished nearly at the same time, either by pestilence or the sword, at some very remote period. The following facts are extracted from documents on the table of the House of Commons, from which the effects of the Newport exemption on the trade of South Wales are rendered sufficiently apparent :There were imported into Bridgewater before the first exemption from duty in 1797, From Cardiff 59 tons of coal. Neath Swansea 4729 7236 Cardiff, under an act anterior to the Newport Act, embarked a very large capital on a work of superior scale, viz. to admit ships of heavy burthen; and it appears from the above returns, was beginning to send its produce to market in 1797; but in 1801 had acquired a considerable trade to Bridgewater, notwithstanding the exemption enjoyed by Newport. Since 1801, however, Cardiff has been absolutely excluded from that market; which must have caused a great depreciation of capital; as much vested on the faith of Parliament as the money embarked had lost in 1801 above half its Bridgewater trade, and may, also now be considered as completely shut out; the triflé exported in 1809 being most probably stanccoal, which is used only by maltsters. Swansea was deprived of two-thirds of its trade to Bridgewater in 1801, since which period it has descended to a state of insignificancy. By returns made to the House in 1807, it appeared that 24,2447. 5s. 4d. had been lost to the revenue in that year, by exempting from dury coal shipped at Newport for Bridgewater, and other ports eastward of the Holmes; and by subsequent returns, now on the table, it appears that in 1809 the exemption had lost the country 32,103. 45. which loss is moreover progressively increasing. Mr. Johnes, of Havod, in Cardiganshire, has the merit of having improved his mansion and lands in a most laudable manner. In 1783 they were a wilderness. There was indeed an old hoe belonging to the family, but it was deserted as an untenantable resi dince, and the very estate held of little va. lue. Since which time, hills planted by persons now living, have risen into opulence of timber; other hills are covered with in fant plantations; and other lofty and exten. sive wastes are marked out to be called into usefulness and fertility in the ensuing autumns. Larch trees have been very successful on these bills; but Mr. Johnes has engag ed in an immense extent of general plantations. From June 1796 to June 1797, four hundred thousand larches were planted. In the same year, two hundred and fifty thousand other trees were planted, of which fifty were alders, and the rest elm, beech, birch, ash, and mountain ash. They all throve well, but. the beech throve more than any, except the larch. About ten thousand were planted on an acre. From October 1797 to October. 1798, ten thousand oaks were planted, from one to two feet high; and from October 1798 to April 1799, fifty-five acres were set with acorns. In the same space of time, in which the plantations of oaks were going for ward, twenty-five thousand ash trees were planted, and about four hundred thousand jaich trees. The larches were all two-years old seedlings, and were always planted on the upper part of the hills. The larches planted at the height of from eighteen inches to two feet in the year 1796, were from ten to thirteen feet high in 1802. The shoots some years were from two feet and a half to three feet, and in some instances three feet eight inches. The whole number of trees planted on the estate from October 1795 to April 1801, amounted to two millions and sixtyfive thousand, of which one million two hundred thousand were larches, without including the hands sown with acorns.
