SUSSEX.

A school has been opened at Chichester un the Royal Lancasterian system, and is going on well, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond are patrons of it, and a more commodious school-room is now erecting.

The individuals who have engaged in the expensive mine works at Bexhill, will be amply rewarded for their enterprise, having sunk through a valuable mine of most excellent coal 104 yards thick, on their estate, which mine is now at work This will be of great public advantage, as the works are over the main fault, in a situation where, till now, the most experienced miners considered no mine of coal could exist; and it proves the extent of mine land to be greater by many hundred acres than it was before supposed

to be.

Mr. Cunnington, (whose death is mentioned at p. 194, of this volume,) though brought up in the bustle of trade, was ever assiduous to acquire knowledge, and possessing good natural abilities; his mind, at an early age, took a turn to scientific pursuits. This occasioned a sedentary mode of life, which deranged the nervous system; and for the last twenty years he became a victim to a debility which nothing but air and exercise could prevent from proving fatal. Thus called upon to support nature, his daily rides and excursions on the Wiltshire Downs led him to consider the numerous remains of An. tiquity that lie scattered over that interesting district; and here it was that the foundation was laid for that splendid History of Ancient Wiltshire, now carrying on by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, of Stuurhead. With a noble ness of mind that stumps the character of the baronet, he has thus addressed Mr. Cunningtoa, in the first part of his work, prefixed to which is an excellent portrait of him: "Men illustrious either for their noble birth, conspi cuous character, or distinguished literary abilities, have in general engrossed the homage of dedications; but on the present occasion I shall deviate from this long established cus. tom, and gratify my private fealings by paying a tribute that is due to justice and friendship. To you, therefore, Sur, who first projected the plan of this history, and by your interesting collections, and important discoveries, encouraged me to pursue it, this work is most gratefully dedicated." Mr. Cunnington in this pursuit had procured a collection of British antiquities that were not, and perhaps never will be, surpassed by any in the kingdom; and, when this subject was somewhat exhausted, his mind led him to that of Minerals and extraneous Fossils, of which he had procured a beautiful and interesting collection. The ready access that was given to view his cabinets, and the pleasure he always experienced in affording information, drew many virtuosi to his house, where they were

no less charmed with he Museum, than they were with the attability of the possessor. In his domestic character he was all that could call forth the fond parental soul;" and in the happy circle round his fire-side, he diffused among his young auditors those precepts of virtue, those principles of knowledge, and those maxims of men and manners that will ever remain on the minds of those who heard them.. Here also it was, that parental affection saw the rising virtues of the child-here were implanted those seeds that bloomed around the parent stock-and here religion instructed the infant mind to look throus Nature up to Nature's God. He died in his 57th year; and his death was of that nature so calm and pure, which the good man hails as his real existence.

Morgan, M.A. rector of Dean, Northamptonshire; and of Charlcombe, annexed to the Mastership of the Grammar-school of this city; which last important situation he held about 40 years, and for which he possessed every superior qualification. In a recent local publication it is stated that "Under the Rev. Mr. Morgan this school has been mo-t eminently useful to the city, and to the kingdom at large; several of its pupils having filled eminent offices in church and state, and others distinguished themselves highly in the service of their coun ry. Such a public school, where youth are so firmly grounded in a pure classical education, and where the domestic arrangements are of the first order will be ever considered an honour to the city; and we trust the corporation in their future appointment to this important trust, will act as independently, and be as fortunate in their choice, as they were when they elected the present master." Little did the writer think when he composed the above eulogium, that the Body would have the nurlancholy task of appointing a successor so soon imposed upon them. A few days indisposition finished the earthly career of this most able scholar and much respec ed man.

At Bristol, Sydenham Teast, esq. 69. At the Hotwells, the Rev. Geo. Smith, vicar of Urchfort, and of Alderbury, Pitton, and Farley, Wilts, and brother of Sir Edw. Sinith, bart. of Newland Park, Yorkshire.

At Broomwell house, his residence, near Bristol, in his 88th year, which he had entered in the full possession of his vigorous faculties, the Rt Bon. John (the eighth) Lord Colville of Colross, in Scotland His early life was passed in active military duty. He was of the expedition against Carthagena in 1740, when his father, the sixth Lord Colville, commanded a regiment, and where he lost his life. He was at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745; of Culloden in 1746; and of Lafeldt in 1747; and in 1761, he accompanied his regiment (the Scotch fusileers)

to the siege of Belisle. At the peace of 1763, he quitted the army, after 24 years' service, and retired to the privacy of domestic life; where the exercise of all the social virtues attached to him the affections of his family, and has endeared his memory to his surviving friends. On the death of his brother, Alexander, Vice-Admiral of the White, the seventh Lord Colville of Colross, he succeeded to the honours uf his house. The title n w devolves upon his eldest son, Jobu, a captain in the royal navv.

The Mayor and Commonality of Plymouth, anxious for the improvement of the town and port, have raised by subscription 16,000l. to purchase the lease of Sutton Pool, from the present lessees to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall, for improving that capacious bason. This sum makes 46,0001. subscribed by the mayor, tomonalty, and inhabitants of this opulent town, in the short space of three months, for. various improvemen's in this town and its vicinity. Independent of these a number of mercantile gentlemen hive come to the determination of erecting a large and extensive sale room, for the general purposes of trade, to which will be attached an Exchange, for merchants, tradesmen, masters of ships, &c. The great increase of population and commerce in this town, within the last seven years, render such an undertakig an object of the first consideration, and there can be no doubt that it will meet with the approba tion and support of the residents and occa sional visitors of the port.

Married.] At Tavistock, James Lidden, esq. of Bridport, to Miss Baron, only daughter of the late John 5. esq.

At Kingsbridge, W. Bennett, esq Major of the Cornwall Militia, to Mrs. Wilcox, widow of the late Rev. John W.

At Plymouth, in the Royal Naval Hospital, Mr. Richard Rose, gunner of his Majesty's ship Neptune On opening the body it-appeared that his death had been occasioned by

an

an inflammation of the heart, on inspecting which very minutely, a pin of the common size, without a head, was discovered in the muscular part, supposed to have been taken into the stomach with his food.-Lieut. Crews, late commander of the Basilisk gun brig. Mr. Howell of London.

Mr. Christopher Turner Johnson, late surgeon and lecturer on anatomy in Exeter, oculist to the west of England Eye Infirmary, and member of the Royal College of surgeons of London, and of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh. His disorder was a typhus fever, brought on, as is supposed, by a severe cold, combined with the ill effects of an accidental puncture by scissors, employed in dissection. Mr. J. received a thorough profes. sional education in Edinburgh and London: and his zealous application and eminent talents enabled him to come into the world at the early age of twenty-four, with testimonials from Mr. Ashley Cooper, and Mr. Saunders, indicating the highest possible estimation of his professional qualifications. It is less than two years since he came to reside at Exeter; but in that short period, he gradually acquired a degree of reputation for accurate and extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical skill; for clearness, penetration, comprehensiveness, and coolness of judgment, and for temperate yet decisive firmness, which is rare at a more advanced period of life. He spared no expence or exertion in gaining, or in communicating knowledge. If it had pleased Providence to spare his life, there is no reasonable ground for doubt, that he would have ranked among the very first of his pro. 'fession in this island. He had a high sense of the utility of his profession; his unostentatious goodness prompted him to employ his surgical talents among the poor, to an extent which is known bat to few; but those know that there are many in that class of society who weep for him as a kind benefactor.His professional conduct was peculiarly calculated to conciliate the good will of his pro'fessional brethren. There was no assumption of superiority to disgust, no niean arts to injure he carefully studied the proprieties of his profession, and as carefully observed them. And in all this he had nothing to do but to

follow the habitual promptings of his own upright, benevolent, heart. He had no ob liquity of mind, no sinister views, no ends which required secrecy; all was fair and open. Those who have the mournful satisfaction of having slrared his intimacy, never saw in him any thing that appeared unsuitable to what they expected from his character; and in proportion as this was known, the more it interested and delighted. His cultivated understanding, excellent sense, well regulated feelings, and sterling worth, made that intimacy regarded as a treasure; and his delicacy of mind, his disinterestedness and generosity, his candour, kindness, simplicity, and sincerity, obtained the affectionate confidence of his patients, and of all his friends."

WALES.

The erection of a building on Moel Famma to commemorate the Jubilee held on our beloved Sovereign's having reigned 50 years, it is said, has induced Lord Kenyon to purchase the mountain from Government; and it is probable, that the approach to its summit, will in the course of a few years, be through the thick foliage of surrounding woods, according to history, the original decoration of

all

all these mountains. A design, in the Egyp tian style of architecture, has been selected for the jubilee tower, by the committee for that purpose, from the drawing of Mr. Harrison; preferred for its simplicity of form, and the ease with which it may be executed from the rude materials of the country.

About this time, with the assistance of some friends, she commenced a suit in chancery, against the executors of the late Robert Jones, esq. (an eminent brandy merchant) of St. Mary's Hill, to whom she was first cousin, and next of kin. After the delay which cases of this kind are subject to, she obtained about six Bonths ago, a decree from the Chancellor, which put her in possession of a moiety of the estate, amounting to upwards of 130,0001.

In Swansea, Ms. Barber, relict of M. Barber, esq.

At Llansadwrnen, near Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Methusalem Williams, butcher, at the advanced age of 104 years.

NORTH BREITAIN.

A school is opened in Edinburgh by the Lancasterian Society there. Mr. Lancaster lectured twice in the Theatre Royal, Edin burgh, to a numerous and crowded audience, and was received with the acclamations of near 1900 persons.

Some time past his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent visited Mr. Lancaster's institurion, the Royal Free-school, Borougb-road. The impression made on the benevolent mind of his Royal Highness was, that the leading parts of the plan would be highly serviscable for the poor children in his regi ment; and on the spot he formed an arrangement for extending its benefits to 200 soldiers of his battalion. Mr. L. instructed one of the duke's non-commissioned officers in the system, and it was introduced twelve months ago at Malden, were the battalion were then quartered. Afterwards the battalion removed to Dunbar, and thence to Stirling Castle. The effect of seeing the school has been such on the worthy magis trates of Stirling, that they have granted the use of the Guildhall of that town for a school-room, on condition that a number of

children of the town are allowed to partake its benefits. Thus the Duke of Kent has the merit of setting an excellent example to the regiments of the line, and Colonel M'Leod and the officers of the 4th battalion, by seconding the benevolent wishes of their royal commander with great energy, have done themselves much honour.

The cutting of the canal betwixt Clachnaharry and Lochness is now nearly completed; and, as nothing remains to be done but the Sea Lock at Clachnaharry and the regulating Lock at Loch-end, there is little doubt but the communication to Port Augustus will be opened by the end of next year at farthest.

At Dalkeith House, Lady Caroline Doug las, eldest daughter of the Marquis of Queensberry.

At Crimond, in his 108th year, John Cowie, bellman. In his youth he fought' the battles of his country by sea and land, and was discharged as worn out in the year 1739; but again took up arms in the memo rable year of Culloden. As he advanced in lite, a considerable variation was observed in the use which he had of his faculties, For some time he was under the necessity of using spectacles; and during the last few years of his life he could read the smallest print. without them. When he was about seventy, having secured the affections of a woman who had some money, he thought himmelf too old or too rich for being bellman. Another was appointed, who kept the office twenty-five years, at whose death John applied to be reinstated. He discharged the duties of the office till within ten days of his death; and in the exercise of it he recovered the use of all his faculties, which had become much impaired during the period of his inactivity. He had two daughters (twins) by his last wife.
