SUSSEX.

A very fevere, and, for the feafon, very unusual tempeft was experienced at Lewes on the 31st of last month. Two claps of thunder, in particular, were extremely loud and awful; and the lightning that preceded the peals fet fire to the fpire of Barcomb church, the flames of which foon alarmed the prrish, and affembled a great number of perfons to the spot. By dint of uncommon exertions, aided with a plentiful fupply of water, the fire was at length fortunately extinguished, after it had burnt about three hours, and confumed between fix and feven feet of the fpire. The body of the church did not receive the slightest injury. Confiderable da- ̈ mage was done by the ftorm in feveral other places. The fwifts of Hendfield wind-mill were driven round with fuch velocity, that it was impoffible to ftop their motion, and the mill, in confequence, caught fire.

Agricultural Report, &c.

David Martin, efq. portrait painter, died at his houfe in Edinburgh, on Saturday the 30th of December, 1797. Mr. Martin was born at Anstruther in Fife, and received the education of his early years from his father, Mr. John Martin, a man of a most respectable character, and very ingenious. In very early life Mr. Martin's genius for drawing difcovered itself, procured him the notice of the neighbouring gentlemen, and introduced him to the acquaintance and friendship of Mr. Ramfay, late painter to his Majesty. With Mr. Ramíay he went to Rome, and refided in that school of the arts about three years. During the period of Mr. Ramfay's greatest fame, and while he was painter to the royal family, Mr. Martin was his friend and ufeful affiftant. He did not confine himfelf to the pencil, which was employed not on portraits only, but occafionally on other ftudies: he frequently amufed himself as an engraver and worker in mezzotinto, of which, his Summer Evening, and Ruins of

Ancient Baths, and Earl Mansfield, and his Hume, and Rouffeau, are diftinguished specimens. Mr. Martin's predilection for Scotland is easily accounted for: his venerable parents and neareft relations refided there; his attachment to the metropolis was leflened by the death of his wife. In 1783, he left London; and fince that time has enjoyed much reputation and fuccefs in his profettion; and it is univerfally allowed, that no Scottih artift has appeared of fuperior, if of equal abilities.

The Countess of Stair, at her house in Galloway.

At Dundee, Mrs. Camilla Elizabeth Wright, wife of James Wright, jun. efq. daughter of colonel D. Campbell, and great grand-daughter, on the maternal fide, to the late lord Rokeby, archbishop of Armagh, &c. She is greatly regretted by all her friends and acquaintance, who could justly appreciate great fentibility, a high fenfe of propriety, franknefs, integrity of principle, and independance of spirit.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR FEBRUARY, 1798.

OUR accounts from the more northern diftricts ftate, that notwithstanding the froft and falls of fnow during this month, the operations of the husbandman have not been much retarded. In general, farmers have been bufily employed in turning over their winter fallows, or in preparing their lands for barley and oats.

From Wales too we find, that the late changes in the weather have, in many respects, been favourable; fpeaking of thofe diftricts in the vicinity of the river Wye, our reporter obferves, that the heavy rains, the torrents from the mountains, and the frequent and uncommon overflowings of the Wye, during the winter, have spread a cheap manure over the meadows, which has been mellowed by the warm weather that fucceed; and as the practice of flooding is univerfally attended to in this country, there is perhaps fcarcely a bit of pafture, all around, efpecially in the vallies, that is not confiderably enriched. The wheat crops, of which alone any conjectures can yet be formed, looked, before the froft, very fine and promifing; and the confiderable fall of fnow, by which the froft was ushered in, will probably contribute rather to their benefit than injury. In other parts of the kingdom, we alfo find, that the wheat crops, efpecially on dry loams, in general, appear well: but that on ftrong wet clayey foils they are not fo promifing.

TURNIPS.. These roots have continued to stand the winter extremely well. In most of the districts north of the Tay, this crop feems to have failed.

GRAIN. The markets keep ftill rather on the decline.

Wheat, on the 17th inftant, averaged throughout England and Wales, 49s. 6d. Barley, 26s. 11d. and Oats, 16s. 9d. per quarter.

MEAT. This continues pretty much the fame as in our laft Report.

IN SMITHFIELD, on the 26th, Beef fold from 40d. to 5od. and Mutton from 44d. to 52d. per ftone, finking the offal.

Hors. Kentish Hops fetch from go to 1c8s. bags; from foo to 126s. pockets. STOCK. Fat ftock still continues high, but the prices of lean cattle are much lower. HORSES. These are still getting cheaper.
