He cntered into holy orders in 1787, and was several years assistant in the Free Grammar School of Tunbridge, of which the learned Dr. Knox, celebrated for his Essays and Sermons, was master. He afterwards became private tutor in the family of Lord le Despencer who, in 1814, as a reward for his services, presented him with the living of Tudeley; but such is the uncertainty of human life, he was not destined long to enjoy it. His death was in consequence of apoplexy, the second attack of which deprived his parishioners and the world of an exemplary divine, and a worthy member of society. The fatal attack was on Sunday, June the 21st, while delivering his text from the pulpit. He was conveyed home, and immediately bled, but he soon after fell into a deep sleep, from which he awoke no more! His only surviving brother, Mr. Thos.

It is computed that 1,500 years and upwards have intervened since its first erection. The floor was formed of stones, about two feet in length and six or eight inches square, set on end, and bound together with iron; thus forming a sort of pavement. This stone work rested on a bed of solid marl, about three feet in thickness. Beneath the bed of marl, which the workmen [Aug. 1, have just removed, a number of horses teeth have been, and are almost daily discovering. The Tower has been originally designed for a dungeon-the teeth, it may be added, are found very plentifully in other departments of the castle. Owing to demands for increase of wages made by the dyers and spinners, during some days past, a turn out of persons employed in those branches of manufacture has been resorted to by the claimants. Public processions of large bodies of dyers, in cluding, of course, many boys and very young men, have paraded the streets of Manchester, presenting an orderly, but distressing spectacle of unemployed persons, amounting to some thousands. On the same plan, combining the same undesirable effects, great bodies of spinners have also been marshalled, marching in solemn order through selected districts in this town. Of these a great part are children, what is worse females; and the gross number of labourers in this line now spending their time in idleness, is not less, it is said, than 11 or 12,000 In the gardens of Mr. France, at Behbington, near Liverpool, there is now growing a cucumber of the Egyptian kind, measuring seven feet two inches in length and still increasing in magnitude!

A correspondent of the Sheffield Iris complains of the long suspension and delay that have attended the proceedings of a Committee appointed (March 5th last) to investigate the church wardens accounts, and to inquire into the necessity and legality of a church rate. He represents, at some length, the inconvenience and injury that must be sustained in consequence of further procrastination, &c.

The town and neighbourhood of Northampton have been in a state of agitation and alarm for some months past, in consequence of a number of desperate burglaries, &c. committed nightly. It was not till very lately that a person of respectable appearance and occupation was suspected to guide the movements of this formidable band.The gang wore masks, and acted with all that mysterious, but decisive impetuosity, which characterise similar incidents in German story. The secret has been at length disclosed, and the inhabitants in general were struck with amazement at finding those very robbers acting in the day time as honest, industrious, sober residents of the town. Five of the multitude have been ap prehended and brought up for trial; one of the most important among them has turned king's evidence. His name is Hill or Hills, and he is by trade a baker.

Harvest has commenced in many parts of the country, under a very favourable prospect with respect to wheat, which has been much improved by the late refreshing showers of rain. There is also great reason to hope that barleys have not suffered so much as to cause an alarm of any scarcity of that grain.
