SUSSEX.

The pinnacle at Beachy Head, called the Churles's or Caurles, which has been for many years the terror and wonder of the numerous visitors at East Bourne, lately fell down; but, as the fall took place in the night, no damage was done. Its ancient inhabitants, the foxes, being on their prowl, suffered no other injury than the loss of their habitations. The chalk that fell is computed at more than a million of waggon loads.

By the Report made at the late quarterly meeting of the subscribers to the Lancastrian school at Lewes, it appeared, that the subscriptions amounted to the sum of 266 guineas; that 190 boys and 148 girls are at present under instruction; that the master and mistress continue to act well in their respective situations; and that the children have improved in a degree surpassing the most sanguine expectation of the directors.

CORNWALL.

The failure of the pilchard fishery of the last season, has been compensated in some degree, on the southern coast of Cornwall, by the extraordinary shoals of herrings that have visited it. In Helford Harbour alone, the quantity caught since August Jast, and sold fresh, or salted down, is little short of 2000 hogsheads, or 5000 barrels: worth about 42s. a barrel. Considerable quantities have also been caught on other parts of the coast. The Yarmouth merchants who have come down to purchase them, declare, that their coasts have been deserted this season by the herrings, in the same manner that Cornwall was deprived of its pilchards.

The projected improvements in St. Ives Bay, if carried into execution on a grand scale, will be of infinite advantage to the commerce of the place, and of the nation at large. It is in contemplation to carry out a break-water from the point of the peninsula in an eastern direction; and by so far will the capacity and security of the harbour be increased. The value of this improvement will be infinitely enhanced, by the general want of good harbours on the north coast, and the immense losses sustained there by the shipping interes, in consequence.

Died.] At Dumfries, Robert Jackson, esq. provost of Dumfries, 67.

Charitable and humane, he patiently listened to the complaints of the poor, and was ever anxious to do them good. Honest and upright, modest and unassuming in his manners, he acquired the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and died without reproach, universally beloved and respected.

[blocks in formation]

entered into the army, and immediately joined his regiment in Upper Canada; and, from that time to the hour of his death, devoting himself entirely to his profession, he rarely, and but for the shortest periods, and on the most justifiable fcasions, solicited leave to be absent from the stations in which his duty had fixed him. In the course of his service he had followed the regiments to which he had been successively appointed, to America, to Corsica, on board the fleet in the Mediterranean, to the Cape of Good Hope, where he was aidde-camp to the Earl of Macartney, then governor there; to the North of Germany, and, lastly, to Spain and Portugal. When his regiment, the 91st, of which he had long been Lieut.-colonel, went to Portugal to serve in the army, under the orders of Sir Arthur Wellesley, now Viscount Wellington, the Duke of York, then Commander in Chief, was graciously pleased to recommend to his Majesty to raise him from the rank of Colonel to that of Brigadier-general; and in that situation, of which he proved himself not unworthy, he was present at the battle of Vimeira; proceeding thence into Spain, his brigade formed part of that division, which, under the orders of Lieut.-gen. Sir John Hope, successfully accomplished its arduous march to join Lieut.-gen. Sir John Moore: he snared in the fatigue and dangers of the retreat, and in the glory of the battle of Corunna, and twice received the thanks of parliament. On his return to England he was placed on the

staff in the eastern district; and, on his application to be employed on foreign service, was sent by the present Commander in Chief, a second time, to Portugal. His brigade being attached to the division under Gen. Hill, he was constantly employed on the most active and anxious service; and, although his health had suffered repeatedly and greatly from fatigue, and from the disorders incident to the climate of Estremadura, which has proved so fatal to many of our troops, he could not be induced to quit his brigade during the continuance of the campaign, and on the eve of a battle. To this military feeling, to this strong sense of duty, to this soldier-like determination, he fell a sacrifice; and so closed his short, but honourable, career, not having yet completed his 35th year: thus are blasted the well-grounded hopes and expectations of his family and of his friends! He had given in difficult situations the fairest promise of talents as an officer; he was beloved by all those with whom he served; his zeal was ardent and continued, his humanity conspicuous. The whole tenour of his private life was most meritorious; his character discreet, sincere, and manly; his heart grateful and affectionate; an excellent husband to a most deserving wife, an anxious father, an attentive son,'a faithful friend. In all these relations his loss is deeply felt; and it may without exaggeration be said, that, in his premature death, his country too has something to regret.

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT.

BRITISH TRADE AND MANUFACTURES-In our Report in last December Magazine, p. 436, we gave a numerical list of the bankruptcies in each month of December, for six successive years, viz. in December 1804,

Since which period there has been no less than 271 bankrupts in January, and 212 in February, 1811. From this statement, (exclusive of compositions, moderately calculated at 1000 each month,) we may state our commerce to be in a most deplorable way. Vast imports of East and West India produce in the market, and no export for them to any part of the world, at present the home consumption being the only mode of getting rid of them. In Glasgow and Manchester the failures have increased to an alarming degree, and it is impossible to describe the distress of the poor manufacturers of both sexes, in these two populous towns. At Birmingham their condition is little better, and trade at a complete stand. manufacture of paper currency in this country has wonderfully increased, as will appear from the following accurate statenient, viz.

FRANCE. The burning decree of Bonaparte is still executed with the greatest rigour, and large quantities of British manufactured goods have been destroyed in the public market. places at Bourdeaux, Antwerp, Marseilles, &c. &c. and, in order to prevent any kind of commerce with this country, it has lately been decreed, That any person drawing, endorsing, or accepting, bills on or from this country, shall be imprisoned for ten years, and their property confiscated. Notwithstanding, he allows the export of brandies, fruit, wine, &c. to Great Britain.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL-All commerce with these countries has ceased, except the export of Spanish dollars to Lisbon, which sell there from 5s. 6d. to 5s. 10d. each, and are the best remittances our merchants can make thither.

WEST INDIES.-A large fleet of merchantmen have lately departed for the islands, and a convoy for a second fleet is appointed by the Lords of Admiralty, to rendezvous at Cove of Cork, about the 15th of March. The produce of the islands comes to a very indifferent market, both at London and Liverpool, and the present prices of produce are as follows: Jamaica sugar 678. middling 70s. and fine 78s. to 80s. per cwt.; Jamaica rum 4s. 6d. to 7s. 10d. per gallon; Leeward Island ditto 3s. 10d. to 4s. 6d. per ditto; Cotton 1s. 1d. to 1s. 4d. per lb. ; Coffee, prices nominal; Logwood 161. to 171. per ton.

SOUTH AMERICA. By the last packet from the Brazils, some considerable remittances in dollars have been received by our merchants, but no encouragement is given to speculations to that country, the markets being overstocked with all kinds of British manufactures.
