At Stanground, Mr. Nickols, 77.

At Duddington, John Smith, M. D. He was of an ancient family in North Britain, and after serving several years as a surgeon in the Navy, settled at Uppingham, in Rutlandshire, in the same house where two of his immediate predecessors and countrymen, Drs. Fordyce and Garthshore had been so successful as to establish themselves afterwards with eminence in London, as physicians. He was for many years in extensive and respectable practice in the principal families in the town and neighbourhood; punctual and indefatigable in his profession, and, in addition to his medical services, ever charitable to the poor.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

The Rev. Dr. Claudius Buchanan, has presented the university of Cambridge, with about eighty volumes of valuable Oriental Manuscripts, which have been placed in the Public Library.

The Rev. Herbert Marsh, D. D. and Lady Margaret's Professor, on Saturday, April 29th, commenced a Course of Lectures in Divinity, in GreatSt. Mary's church Cambridge. The lecture will be continued every Saturday during term. This lectureship has been enjoyed as a sinecure for many years, on account of its being formerly delivered in Latin, and few or no auditors attending. The revival of it in English by so able a theologian must be highly useful in this univerity; admittance gratis, as well to the members of the University as the inhabitants of the town.

KENT.

For the better accommodation of the troops stationed in Canterbury, an hospital is about to be erected, in a healthy situation at the back of the range of barracks, in the northern quarter of the city. Its size is estimated to accommodate about five in every hundred of the troops usually stationed there, and every attention is to be paid in its construction, to render it conducive to health and comfort. Comprehended in its scite, will be an area of several acres of land, which is to be used in future as an exercise ground for the cavalry regiments, that may be stationed in the barracks. The ground has also been chosen near Fort Pitt, at Chatham, for a similar hospital, for the use of the troops at that place. These buildings will supersede the necessity of regimental hospitals at the above places, which are too often, from their nature and construction, rather the promoters than the preventives of disease.

On the 1st of May the Guildford Agricultural Society held their first meeting. Lord Somervile's Spanish rams and fat oxen, were much admired, as were such of Mr. Ellis's stock as had been fattened with molasses. The following prizes were adjudged; to Mr. Coles, of Croydon, for the best Southdown rams, the first prize; to Mr. G. Ryde,

Seventeen ploughs were started, when 15 guineas were adjudged to Mr. Woods for his ten-wheeled plough, his own invention, and to Mr. Boulton five guineas. A gentleman of Dorking exhibited a plough drawn by two oxen without a driver which gave universal satisfaction.

The following is a remarkable instance of the extraordinary increase in the value of land. A farm called Oakhurst and Harn Farm, in the parish of Sidlesham, containing 291 acres, was purchased by the late Sir John Carter, for 20001.

BERKSHIRE.

At a respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Reading, lately held at that place, it was resolved to establish a society there, in aid of the British and Foreign Bible Society in London, and to adopt, as far as possible, the rules and regulations of the parent society. Donations and subscriptions to forward this plan, have accordingly been received to a considerable amount.

The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of Windsor Forest, have made three reports upon the subject, which have

been laid before the House of Commons and printed. The following extracts from them shew its present state:

This forest was formerly of much greater extent than at the present time. Accarding to an inquisition in the time of Charles the first, and the perambulation made under the authority of the 46th of the King, it extends into the five hundreds of Ripplesmere, Cookham, Charlton, Wargave, and Soninge, and comprehends the whole of some of themand part only of others. The entire parishes within the forest are twelve in number, and it extends into parts of five other parishes, It contains fifteen principal or chief manors, having within them several subordinate or mesne manors. Of the principal or chief manors, some are co-extensive with the pa rishes in which they lie, others are not so, and some of them extend over more parishes

than one.

Acres. R. P. about 22,233 acres of heath and open land, 34,480 1 2 on which there are no trees of any age or kind, excepting a few oak and beech pollards of inconsiderable value.

The lodges in the forest (except those occupied by the ender keepers, which are mere cottages) are Cranbourn Lodge, New Lodge, Swinley Lodge, and Bigshot Lodge; and it appears, by the return of Lord Cranley, in the explanation of his office of Out Ranger, that there is a lodge annexed to his office, called Trys Lodge, near Chertsey (which is out of the forest), now in the occupation of Admiral Sir Richard Onslow, Baronet.

Cranbourn Lodge was occupied by his late Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, 24,628 2 36 when Lord Warden of the forest; it has, since his death, been completely repaired and fitted up, and is now in the occupation of the Honourable George Villiers, by permission of his Majesty, but who does not hold any office within the forest.

"The number of deer have of late years been much diminished. And it appears by the returns made in November, 1731, that there were at that time more than 1,300 deer in the forest; and by a return in November, 1806, that there were then only $13 deer in the whole forest. It would be supposed that these having a range over 24,600 acres of land, would find sufficient food, with proper assistance, in winter; the contrary, however, is the case; and the deer in almost every walk of the forest, except one, are all nearly starved; many actually die of hunger, and the surviving does, have not strength to rear their fawrs. This principally arises from the unlimited manner in which animals of all descriptions are turned out in the forest, by persons who have no right or pretence whatever to do so, and by the surcharge of the common by those who have a right to a certain extent. The assistance that ought to be given to the deer in severe weather, is not attended to. The provision made for that purpose is, in every walk in the forest, inadequate; and in one instance, that came accidentally to the knowledge of the commissioners, perverted to private advan

tage.

The ruinous effects of the system which has hitherto prevailed in Windsor Forest, cannot be better illustrated than by stating, that the timber now growing in the forest is valued, upon a loose estimate, to be worth nearly 200,0001. of which (from the want , of care) anly a small portion will be applicable to naval purposes. The greater proportion of the timber is now going rapidly to decay, and ought to be cut as soon as possible. There are now in the forest of Windsor about 2,930 acres of land, on which trees are standing; but throughout the whole of that district there is not a single sapling, or growing young tree, to succeed those which decay, or are cut down. There are so in the tore t MONTHLY MAG No. 183.

New Lodge was granted by his Majesty, with the office of Ranger of New Lodge Walk, for life, to her Highness Princess Sophia of Gloucester, by letters patent, in the year 1798. This Lodge, as her Highness states, in her explanation of her office, is in such a dilapidated state, that it is scarce habitable by the servants who are put into it to take care of it. There are about twenty acres of grass land attached to this lodge.

Swinley Lodge, with its inclosures, containing about one hundred and ninety acres, is always occupied by the master or keeper of his Majesty's stag hounds, who is at the same time ranger and keeper of Swinley Walk, and circuitor bailiff and chief forester of Battel Bailiwick.

The state of Bigshot Lodge is much more ruinous than that of New Lodge, and is in no degree whatever habitable; there is a large quantity of building belonging to it, and was for many years inhabited by the late MajorGeneral Cox and his family, but has been long deserted.

Married.] At Hoe Benham, Mr. Joseph Shuff, aged 85, to Sarah Marshall, his servant maid, aged 25.

Died] At Newbury, to which place he came for the benefit of his health, the Rev. William Vipond, aged 38. The last 1f years of the life of this valuable man, were' devoted to the ministry among the Wesleyan Methodists; and not only in the pulpit, but by the influence of example, it may be truly said, that he was an eloquent preacher of righteousness. In health, every Christian grace shone forth with engaging lustre; but in sickness their brightness was doubly encreased, by that holy submission, and hea venly composure, which true religion alone can inspire. And as long as affection and grati tude retain their influence, will his virtues be recorded on the hearts of all who knew him; and knowing, could not fail to respect, esteem, and admire him.

At Warfield, Mr. Thomas White.

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT.

AN event, most important to the commercial interests of this country, has taken place within the last month. We allude to the repeal of the orders in council, relative to our intercourte with America, which is now as free as ever it was, prior to our difagreement with our tranfatlantic brethren. This meafure, which is highly creditable to the political talents of our rulers, has already given new life to our manufactures of every defcription; at the fame time, that it has destroyed the ungenerous expectations of the monopolizers of American produce. We can now mock the attempts of the French Emperor, to dry up the fources of our trade; and fmile at his endeavours to procure for his people a participation in a traffic which they have no means of carrying on. By a late decree, Buonaparte clearly evinces his opinion upon this fubject; for notwithstanding his principal ports being in a fate of blockade, he thinks to amufe and pacify the French nation, by permitting the exportation of all articles, the produce of the foil and induftry of France, and alfo the importation of various articles, fuch as iron, tin, dye ftuffs, &c. The embargo has been taken off Turkish veffels by our government, and thus an advantageous channel is opened to our manufactures, efpecially the clothing and hardware branches. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has fignified, that it is the intention of government to permit the importation of Martinique produce on one condition only-that of its being re-exported. This declaration muft, doubtlefs, prove highly fatisfactory to our Weft India merchants, who have abundance of colonial produce on hands, without being able to find a maket for the greater part of it. Since our last Report, the following veffels belonging to the honourable the Eaft India Company are arrived, viz.-Surat Cattle, from China, Diana, Preston, and Ceylon, from Bengal; Wexford, Ann, and Alexander, from Bombay; Phonix, from Fort St. George; and Preften, from Bengal, and Fort St. George. Their cargoes are as follow:-Tea of different defcriptions, 1,071,490 lbs:-Bengal piece goods: mullins, 3189 pieces; calicoes, 37,692 pieces. Probibited goods, of filk, and cotton 7947 pieces.-Madras piece-goods Mullins, 400 pieces: calicoes 67,840 pieces-Prohibited goods: calicoes, 8790 pieces. Company's, 5178 bales, and 3 half bales cotton; 22,059 evt. faltpetre: 1 bag Mocha coffee; 17,174 cwt. fugar; 1655 cwt. funh; 47 cwt. hemp 9200 lbs. co chineal; 1776 bags rice; 52,425 lbs. raw filk.
