A Welsh church is intended to be established at Liverpool, where it is ascertained that there are at least 20,000 persons of the principality, most of whom are unable to understand the service in the English tongue. A few weeks since, a middle-aged woman, named Sarah Taylor, applied for relief at the churchwardens' office, Manchester, and, on being questioned as to her situation and former life, it appeared, that when a girl, she was in the habit of wearing boy's clothes, in which dress she served her father (a bricklayer) as a labourer; and, when about 14 years old, enlisted in the 15th Dragoons, in which she attained the rank of corporal and serjeant, and remained 21 years, her sex all the time being a secret. She was afterwards transferred to the 37th Foot, then in St. Vincent's. In the year 1800, being seized with the yellow fever, her sex was discovered. On her recovery, she married a private in the 37th foot, by whom she had three children. Still following the fortune of war, she was, with her husband, two years in a prison in France, from which they were released in July last. On the day she landed from the cartel her husband died. A scar from a sabre, which graces her head, and a mark where a musket ball was extracted from her leg, are testimonials of her service. Application has been made to the commander-in-chief to procure a pension for her. On the evening of Sunday, Dec. 4, a sermon was to have been preached in the Methodist chapel at Manchester, in commemoration of the late Rev. Dr. Coke, who died some time since on his passage to India, While the congregation was waiting the commencement of the service, an alarm was raised that the galleries were giving way. The whole crowd immediately rushed towards the doors with such violence, that many were thrown down; two females were trampled to death, and about thirty persons dreadfully hurt. The alarm was totally unfounded, the galleries being perfectly safe. Married.] At Manchester. Edw.

On leaving the coach he exhibited symptoms of severe indisposition and expired in about 4 hours. Mr. Raikes, of Gloucester, has generally been considered as the first person who engaged in the praiseworthy undertaking of establishing Sunday schools, in 1784, but it is known that Mr. Moore devoted his Sundays to the instruction of the poor children of Leicester in reading and writing, so far back as 1778. He had a turn for literature and had devoted his leisure hours to the composition of various religious tracts, which were found in his trunk in an unfinished state, and which, as it appeared, he had 574 Lincoln-Norfolk Northampton. made arrangements for revising and completing in his retirement.

A benevolent correspondent of the Northampton Mercury remarks that the practice of letting poor villagers have land to plant potatoes has become so general that many have not only a sufficiency of that useful ar ticle for their own use, but also plenty to feed a pig. As, however, numbers cannot spare money to purchase a pig, he recom mends it to the humane and opulent to advance a few pounds to their poor but industrious neighbours, by way of loan, to be repaid next summer; which would be of essential service to the latter, and no loss to the former.
