Devonshire-Dorsetshire-Hampshire-Herefordshire, &c. 573

DEVONSHIRE,

Four respectable gentlemen of Plymouth have subscribed 500l. each, for the purpose of building a Chapel of Ease, to be erected near the Royal Hotel, in that town. So pleased are the inhabitants generally with this new speculation, that in the evening of the day set apart for final decision, not a sitting could be obtained. The Rev. Mr. Lampin will be the clergyman.

The Breakwater presents a few marks of the violence of the late gales, but the ships have greatly felt the good effects of its p.otection. The gale of the 12th ult. was one of extreme violence; the wind having shifted to S.E. and S.S.E. crossing a tremendous heavy swell thrown in from S.W. which caused an extraordinary burst of the sea not often equalled. On the following morning, the cranes on the west end of the Breakwater were observed to be washed down, as was also the temporary mason's stage belonging to the contractor at Staddon-Point; neither of which is of consequence. Had it not been for this great barrier, it would have been almost impossible for any ship to have continued in the Sound; much less to have anchored in it.

DORSETSHIRE.

Bridport harbour has been visited by an eminent engineer, previous to an application to Parliament fo: an Act to enlarge and improve it.

I. 1722; the undertaking was not fully completed until 1740; towards the expense of which the then Representatives of the borough, Lord Deerhurst and George Richards, Esq. gave 35001. The sum of 10007, was also given by Richard Broadrepp, Esq. then Recorder; and the whole expense, including sixteen guineas for plans, amounted to 5000. although the receipts for harbour-duties for the year preceding amounted to only 181. 18. 11d.

HAMPSHIRE.

St. Michael's Church, Southampton, is undergoing a thorough repair, which, from the dilapidated state of the fabric, was become highly necessary.

The new Church at Bronsgate was opened last month. The building, which is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended, is in the style of the Saracenic, or modern Gothic, in the constructing and erecting of which much praise is due to Mr. Hannaford, the architect.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

A Meeting was held in Hereford on the 17th ult. for the purpose of adopting means for shortWales, and Ireland. ening the road between that city, Cheltenham, The estimated expense of

the road, and of a cast-iron bridge at Haw Passage over the Severn, was stated to be 17,9271. About 80001. was immediately subscribed by only fifteen individuals. The resolutions of the meeting state, that it is probable the above improvements would be the means of opening a communication through the city of Hereford and the neighbourhood, in Wales, and ultimately to Ireland ;-that the distance saved between Hereford and Cheltenham would be nearly six miles, and the distance from London to Aberystwith from ten to twelve miles; connecting these points by an almost straight line, through Oxford, Cheltenham, Ledbury, and Hereford;-that the said line would be the shortest possible distance to Ireland, and shorten the distance between London and Dublin by fifty miles, and the distance of travelling by land to Dublin sixty-five miles; and to all the southern parts of Ireland, eighty miles.

Married. Mr. Clarke to Miss E. Merrick, of Fenningtou-At Ledbury, Mr. T. Lucy to Miss E. M. Lucy.

HERTFORDSHIRE.

The East India College has again become the scene of insubordination. It seems that a short time siuce, in the absence, through indisposition, of Dr. Le Bas, the Rev. H. Walter, who had the superintendence of the establishment, laid some fresh imposition or restriction upon some of the boys for refractory conduct, or neglect of collegiate discipline; at least, this is the ostensible origin assigned by some for the late disturbance. This was so little relished by the youths, that they beset Mr. Walter by all those little annoyances which school-boys so well can practise : his person was threatened with insult, his win

dows were broken, and the students, in large bodies, combined for executing a more extended project of destruction, the precise nature of which has not yet been actually ascertained.

Married.] At Aldenham, H. J. Adeane, esq. to Miss K. King-At Bishop's Hatfield, R. Taylor, jun. esq. to Miss E. Chapman-Mr. Hobler, of Tring, to Miss A. Fenner.

KENT.

The S.S.W. corner of the tower, known by the name of Ethelbert's Tower, which has stood the "pelting of the pitiless storm" for many past ages, situate on Lady Wootton's Green, near Canterbury, and comprising one half of what remained of this venerable edifice, amounting in weight to many hundred tons, and nearly seventy feet in height, fell with a most tremendous crash, cracking, with the shock, the present remains, the altitude of which, apparently, is about one hundred feet, presenting a grand, but very dan. gerous appearance; and little doubt can be entertained, but that the rude wind of the approaching winter, if it is not taken down previously, will entirely annihilate what was once rendered sacred by the performance of religious worship in itby being so closely connected with the history of this country-and by the abode of royalty.

Married.] At Lewisham, G. Medley, esq. to Miss E. Rich-At Charlton, J. Hart, esq. to Miss B. Chambers-At Greenwich, W Fearnall, esq. to Miss C. Martyr-At Plumstead, W. O. Locke, M. D. to Miss A. M. Dusgate.

When opened, the most close examination followed, in order to ascertain the seat of disease, and to the extreme astonishment of all present, in the straight intestine was found a large calculus that distended the gut (without adhering to it) so that not a particle could pass.

About a month ago, three Cornish miners having been informed that some appearance of copper ore had been discovered near St. David's Head, in Pembrokeshire, set out from Penzance in order to trace the foundation of the report; when, after having explored the rocks upon the coast, they hit upon a copper vein, of great supposed value, on the property of Samuel Harris, esq. of Trevacoon.

SCOTLAND.

Caledonian Canal.-After a labour of nearly twenty years, and an expenditure of about 900,0002. on this spirited national undertaking, the country will feel a great degree of satisfaction in hearing of the completion of it. Considered in itself as a work of magnitude, it has not perhaps its equal in the world; and its importance in opening a communication between the eastern and western seas, thereby avoiding the dangerous navigation

non.

of the Pentland Frith or the Channel, will be highly praised by the mercantile and other classes, long after the expense will be forgotten. At 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning (the 24th ult.) the Lochness Steam Yacht, accompanied by two Smacks, departed from the Locks of Muirtown on the first voyage through the Canal, amidst the loud and enthusiastic cheerings of a great concourse of people, and the firing of can. The morning was peculiarly favourable, although rather calm. There was scarcely a breath of wind to disperse the smoke, which as cended unbroken after the firing of the guns. The banks of the Canal were crowded with spec tators, a great number of whom accompanied the party from Muirtown Locks to the Bridge of Bughs. The band of the Inverness-shire militia went on board at Duchgarrock Lock, and imme diately played the national air of God save the King." As a minute examination of the most remarkable features of the Canal was to be gone into, it was not expected that the party would arrive at Fort William before Thursday evening; they were to be met at Loch Oich by the Comet Steam Boat. Small vessels may now pass the canal from the Moray Frith to Fort William, to the Isles, to Glasgow, Liverpool, or Ireland. It will yet be some time before vessels of burden cau be received into it, on account of the want of sufficient depth and retention in certain parts of the puddle, with which its sides were originally worked up, and which has readered a new process, that of lining the banks with clay, necessary. That operation has yet reached but ten feet in height, consequently no greater quantity of water can yet be admitted; but this depth will answer many essential purposes of convenience and advantage. It is sufficient for the conveyance of all sorts of stores for inland purposes, and for the conveyance of passengers, with economy, ease, and expedition, to the great towns.

The peasantry seem determined to resist the payment of rent as of tithe. Pat. Horrogan, residing in the parish of Brinny, lately brought upwards of 60 men to dig and remove his potatoes~~ he had previously taken away every thing else off the ground. When the landlord came to remon strate with these men on the outrage of forcibly taking away the potatoes, they attacked him, and he escaped with difficulty.
