ESSEX.

A committee has lately been formed among the tradesmen of the upper half

hundred of Becontree, to consider of a proper mode of preventing losses by cre diting the fraudulent debtor. At a late meeting, the following, among other resolutions, was passed. That, in the opinion of this committee, the small trader or mechanic stands in as much and universal need of legal protection as does the merchant or larger trader, who may readily obtain suitable redress for sums that are of no greater importance to him than the smaller sums are to the inferior trader; and that the public weal therefore requires that equal protection should be extended to every class of trades-people, which, as it appears to this meeting, would be best ef fected by some legislative enactment, with reference to the country at large; the expense and difficulty of passing local bills through Parliament, for courts of requests for those districts where they are much wanted, being so great as to prevent trades-people attempting to obtain such courts by these means.

On the 31st of October Mr. Hunt

quitted Ilchester jail, after a confinement of two years and six months, for his conduct at Manchester. He was accompanied by Sir Charles Wolseley and Mr. Northmore. Enthusiasm was at the highest among the people, and no conqueror on his way from victory could have received greater plaudits than were given to this long imprisoned man. He reached his manor of Glastonbury, where he addressed the people in an excellent speech. Mr. Hunt appears a proof, that jails are an insufficient process to destroy or alter opinions: he said, his person was uninjured, and his spirits undepressed.

In his 73rd year, Colonel Henry Barry. He commenced his military career in America; and, attached by ties of friendship, he was long the aid-de-camp, private secretary, and esteemed friend of the Marquis of Hastings, then Lord Rawdon. In his official situation, he penned some of the best dispatches that were ever trans. mitted from an army on service, to the British cabinet. In the domestic circle he was generally esteemed; and, as often as he obtained, he invariably retained, the warmest regards and friendships. No per. son's company was more coveted than Colonel Barry's, both for his demeanour and general intelligence.

At Taunton, 46, after an afflicting illness of more than twelve months' duration, Mr. Thomas Jacobs, an eminent brewer. The disease of which this amiable man died, was a strictured, or contracted gullet, produced, as appeared on examination after death, by an ulcerated enlargement and induration of the substance of that tube, occupying a space of about three inches, and extending to within a short distance of the upper orifice of the stomach. The whole circumference of the diseased part of the gullet was so disorganized, thickened, and hardened, as to have nearly filled up the cavity in that situation. Scarcely any substantial nutriment had been swallowed for the last twelve-months, during which time liquid sustenance passed the contraction very slowly, and often with great difficulty. Intervals of several days repeatedly occurred, in which the obstruction was so complete, as to cause even all fluids, that were attempted to be swallowed, to be immediately rejected. For the last twenty

eight days of life, nearly the whole of every article that was taken into the upper part of the gullet was instantly thrown back, so that very little, if any aliment, could have reached the stomach during that long period. The deceased was eminently distinguished for universal kind-heartedness, active benevolence, and an ardent devotion to the true interests of civil liberty. The natural amenity of his disposition, joined to the accredited rectitude of his intentions, deservedly procured him the esteem and confidence of all who intimately knew him, and will justly entitle his memory to sincere and lasting veneration. The long and singularly afflicting

illness which terminated his existence was endured with an exemplary fortitude and resignation, and his approaching end was anticipated with a corresponding composure of mind, which he preserved to the latest moment of his life.

SCOTLAND.

A meeting of the noblemen, freeholders, justices of the peace, and commissioners of supply, of the county of Lanark, was lately held at Hamilton, to take into consideration the agricultural state of the county, and also for considering the price of labour connected with agriculture, and articles of consumption of the farming interest: the Duke of Hamilton in the chair. The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:-That the present unprecedented fall in the price of all agricultural produce, has involved the pro

prietors and occupiers of lands in the greatest distress, and that its continuation now threatens their total rain.-That the disproportion betwixt the price of agricultural produce, and the expense of raising it, and betwixt the increased value of the circulating medium, and the burdens chargeable upon land, render the agricul turist unable to pay the rent and taxes, or even to cultivate the soil with any profit to himself. That, in this state of general calamity, it is desirable that the aggregate opinion of the whole landed interest in Scotland should be ascertained; and, for that purpose, that a general committee, composed of sub-committees from the several counties, should be appointed to assemble at Edinburgh as early as possi ble.-That a committee should be appointed to draw up forthwith a report, stating the difficulties and distresses of this particular county, and what may occur to then as most necessary to be done to remedy these evils, and that the committee should nominate three or more of their number to meet and deliberate with the general committee at Edinburgh-That the sub-committee appointed to meet with the general committee in Edinburgh, be requested to communicate to this county the result of their deliberations, and that another meeting be called of this county to take the report of their committee and sub-committee into consideration; and, if judged expedient, to apply to Parliament for relief.

DEATHS ABROAD.

At Rome, aged 72, Letitia Bonaparte, mother of that distinguished family of emperor, kings, princes, and princesses, who in our time have filled the world with so much renown. Napoleon, distinguished for his filial and fraternal affection as much as for his other virtues, loaded her with riches and distinctions; and her irreproachable conduct proved her worthy of them. Her piety led her to prefer a residence at Rome, in the bosom of the church to which she was devoted; and here she enjoyed the society of her family after the fall of her third son from his towering elevation. She was immensely rich, leaving 300,000l. in legacies, besides her splendid palace and its appurtenances, to her brother, Cardinal Fesch; and a liberal fortune to her grandson, proclaimed Napoleon II. in 1815, but now on his travels.

At Venice, 56, M. Antonio Canova, the modern Phidias; of whom a full notice will be given in an early Number.

At Paris, 71, M. Legendre, one of those mathematicians whose works and improvements have raised the French school to its present eminence; of whom and whose works authentic memoirs will be given in a future Number.

Also, at Paris, Count Berthollet, one of the most eminent chemists of the age; of whom further particulars will be given,

At New York, of the yellow fever, which in this autumn has made great ra vages, Abraham Moore, esq. an English barrister, and late Recorder of Rochester.

At Madeira, the Rev. R. Williams, fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and of Bury St. Edmunds.

On his way to Geneva, Alexander Marcett, M.D. F.R S. Honorary Professor of Chemistry at Geneva, and some years emi nent as a physician in Russell-square, and as a man of science in the circles of the British metropolis.

Lately, in the Island of Jamaica, 41, Dr. Samuel Fothergill, for many years a physician of eminence in London, one of the able conductors of the London Medi cal and Physical Journal, and the writer of several of the Reports of Diseases in this Magazine. Dr. Fothergill was born in Yorkshire, and, after having received the rudiments of his professional education, repaired to Edinburgh, where he gra̸duated, and came to London. He was soon elected physician to the Westminster General Dispensary, the duties of which office he zealously performed for many years; but, his health being impaired by residence in the metropolis, and having suffered several attacks of hæmoptysis, he determined to relinqnish his prospects in London, and to seek the restoration of his health by a change of climate. He prac tised as a physician, with distinguished success, in Jamaica for some years, but was interrupted several times by recor renee of hemorrhage from the lungs; to which, and the debility it occasioned, he at last fell a sacrifice.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

R. C. is informed that the fulcrum of the Earth and Moon is 26,666 miles from the Earth's centre, their mutual forces being inversely as the squares of their distances from the fulcrum, and not in simple ratio, as has mistakenly been considered, though a difference would not affect the result.-Another Correspondent doubts, in regard to capillary ascent in a vacuum,- —a point long since settled.-R.C. is also informed, that the litmus is changed by the oxygenating quality of the positive charge, that alternate increase and decrease in elliptical orbits are pre-supposed, and accord with terrestrial facts,-and that, if elm-bungs are made only of the thickness of the actually immersed cork, they will not approach, though the supposed resistance of the water must in both cases be the same, while the matter is augmented. But neither of these Correspondents have read the Twelve Essays and their addenda, or they would not have asked such questions.

We trust our Readers will do us the justice to notice, that the Map of the New Caledonian Canal is worth, if sold separately, more than the cost of the Number. As the very able New-England Letters will actually constitute the current Number of the "Journal of Voyages and Travels," we shall forbear to give further extracts in this Miscellany.

We still covet original information from Spain, Greece, and South America.

As this Work never stood higher in the public estimation than at the present moment, and as the abortive attempts made to supersede it have served merely as foils, to manifest its superiority,we hope to be favoured, at the commencement of the New Year, with the usual increase in the number of our Subscribers. ›
