DERBYSHIRE.

The following account of a heifer, bred and fed by the Earl of Chesterfield, on Bradby Hall Farm, has been given by Mr. Francis Blaikie, bailift to his lordship.

The heifer was bred out of an Alderney cow, by a Devonshire bull; was calved in May, 1805, and slaughtered on the 18th of December, 1809.

She was kept in store order until April 1808, when, not proving a biceder, she was put to grazing. During the following winter, she was kept on hay and turnips, and in the summer and autumn of 1809, she was fed on clover, hay, turnips, grains, and ground buck-wheat.

The spirit with which improvements are carrying on at Stamford, and the animation given to trade there since the late contested election, is astonishing. Mr. Oddy has added to the number of his houses; and gentleman, well known as a glass-manufacturer in the city (though not a native of this county, who supports a contrary interest), has built a few likewise, by the name of Schwarzenburgh row, and the projected navigations first suggested by Mr. Oddy, and foliowed by others, from Stamford to Boston, Lynn, Wisbeach, Northampton, Harborough, Oakham, Melton, Shardlow, &e. will be connected with the Grand Junction, Grand Union, and Grand Trunk Canals, with a

view to restore to the borough of Stamford its ancient splendour and opulence. Science, literature, and political liberty are likely to be very extensively benefited by the recent addition of two Weekly Papers, to which, it is said, a third will be added to the solitary one formerly published, although those already published are conducted with all the vigour of feelings strongly excited by attachments to opposite political opinions. The extensive and well-digested Navigation plans, brought forward by Mr. Oddy, are so much approved, that subscriptions already exceed the first estimate, and application will be made early in the ensuing Session of Parliament, for acts to carry the projects into immediate execution.

The family of Sir Richard Kaye is of very high antiquity, being descended from Sir J.

Kaye, one of the Knights of the warlike table of King Arthur. Sir John, in the reign of William the Conqueror, married the daughter and heiress of Sir John Woodesham, of Woodesham, Kot. an ancient Briton: from him, the 27th in lineal descent, was Sir John, the first Baronet, a Colonel of a regiment of horse in the service of Charles I, in the civil wars, in which he suffered much both in person and estate. Sir Richard, the sixth and last Baronet, suc. ceeded his half-brother, Sir John, on the 27th of December, 1789. Prior to his promotion to the Deanery of Lincoln, he held the honourable place of Sub-Almoner to the King. In the year 1783, by the influence of: his great patron, the late Duke of Portland, he succeeded Dean Cust, at Lincoln. Richard had been confined to his room during the last four years, under the afflicting effect of a paralytic stroke. In the year 1791 he married the relict of Thomas Mainwaring, esq. in the county of Lincoln; but leaving p issue, the title is extinct.

WARWICKSHIRE.

Leamington was last year honoured with the presence of many of the nobility, and other families of the first character and distinction in the kingdom. The arrivals were very numerous, it having been ascertained that not Jess than fifteen hundred persons visited the place for the benefit of the waters during the season, exclusive of servants and children, Notwithstanding the accommodations increase very rapidly, they are not yet equal to the demand of the company; but that Inconvenience will be shortly obviated by the extensive and commodious houses now erecting there by the Leamington Building Socie ty, and other spirited individuals. Many poor invalids, who sought the benefit of the waters in distressed circumstances, were liberally relieved from a fund established there for that laudable purpose; and returned, re-. stored to health, sincerely grateful for the assistance they had obtained from that bene

ficent institution.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Warwick was lately held at the Court House, to take into consideration the propriety of new paving that borough; the company present were generally of opinion that the pran was a most desirable one, and that the foot-paths should he laid with flag-stones to the extent of five feet in width. A subscription was immediately entered in o, when upwards of one thousand pounds was raised by twenty gentlemen present, but as the total expense is calculated at six or seven thousand pounds, it is expect ed that an application will be made to l'arlia ment for an act to enable them to accomplish the plan.

Married.] At Henley in Arden, William Lees, esq. of Stone, to Miss Edkins.

At Birmingham, Mark Sanders, esq. to Mrs. Bingley.

Died] At Birmingham, in his fifty-second year, James Belcher, printer and bookseller, a man who, to use the language of at very eminent scholar concerning him, had diligence, integrity, and the true spirit of a Christian." With so much personal metit, It was his least honour to be descended from worthy ancestors. His paternal grandfather was, for many years, minister of a dissenting congregation at Henly in Arden; and, judging from some of his manuscripts which are in the hands of the family, he appears to have been a man of considerable knowledge and obsivation. Mr. Belch served his ap. prenticeship at Coventry, and, at the expiration of this service, went to Lichfeld, to assist and superintend in the cffice of a gentle man, whom, from that period, he ranked

among his friends. With the view of improving himself in his art, he visited London, and, during his residence there, worked in but one office: it had been the celebrated Richardson's, of whom its muster was for merly the apprentice, and its overseer the servant. Mr. B. quitted the metropolis in consequence of a contested election at Coventry, of which city he was a freeman; and here he very soon afterwards formed a matrimonial connection that added greatly to his happiness. His next and last removal was to Birmingham, his native town, where he entered into the employment of the late Mr. Pearson. About the year 1790, he began business for himself, and printed Dr. Priestley's Sermon, occasioned by the death of Mr.

Robinson An Authentic Account of the Riots in Birmingham, on the 14th, 15th, 16th,. and 17th days of July, 1791, &c. &c. was the production of his own pen. This pamphlet, which contains the only succinct and faithful narrative of the scenes, &c. that it professes to describe, reached a second edition, and is a very favourable specimen of the compiler's temper aud abilities. In 1792 he took house in a more public part of the town, and, during the following year, was selected for prosecution, in consequence of his selling Paine's works at a time when they were sold by all the booksellers in Birmingham. The sentence, though comparatively light, was of serious importance to a man who had not been long in trade, and the support of whose family depended chiefly on his own exertions. However, the prosecution, and his conduct under it, strengthened the attachment of those who knew him; and he was in the highest degree gratified by their friendly efforts and spontaneous aid. His release from confinement was followed, naturally enough, by a serious illness. For many years before his death his health was weak; and, having for the last two months of his life, experienced an affection of his lungs, he sunk tranquilly under the pressure of disease. He was a man of thought and reading: his feelings were remarkably kind, his manners gentle and unassuming. As a tradesman, he was skilful, assiduous, upright: and his pure and independent mind, revolted at every thing like selfishness and mere worldly wisdom. Hence, as well as for his general character, he ob tained the esteem of the very learned and able person whose testimony to his worth has already been adduced: hence he is unaffectedly regretted by all who knew him, whether m timately or otherwise; and, thus die inguished by habi's of religious virtue, he has left to his family and friends
