In the tender relations of husband and father, he was most exemplary; and Iris memory will long be cherished for the piety which graced him as a christian, for the benevolence which distinguished him as a philanthropist, and for the constancy, and zeal, and invariable kindness, which made him constantly valued as a friend.-Mr.Richard Stephenson, 57.-Mrs. Newbald, wife of Mr. Charles N. merchant.-Alice, wife of capt.

At York, William Bargh, esq. LL. D. in whom that city, and the literary world, have sustained a heavy loss. His genius and talents were of the first eminence, and they were always employed in the cause of religion and good goverument. His religious principles, which were those of the Articles of the Church of England, were strengthed by mature investigation and research. The cause of religion lay nearest to his heart, nor could he view the progress of error with indifference; and he will be ranked amongst the number of those who contended ably and earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints."The "Scriptural confutation of Mr. Lindsey's Apology,"-with the subsequent "Inqairy into the Balief of the Christians of the first three centuries," evince, at once, the extent of his learning, his indefatigable industry, the soundness of his principles and his zeal for the truth. It was for the latter of these works that the University of Oxford, in a handsome manner, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Civil Law; and they continue to be held in high estimation by the Heads of that University, having been lately recommended by a learned Prelate to the study of all who are under preparation for the Church. Mr. Bargh was the most intimate and confidential friend of Mr. Mason, and furnished the commentary and notes to his celebrated poem of the English Garden." He possessed a very extensive acguaintance with the first political and literary characters of his time; but was more particularly in habits of intimacy and friendship with Mr. Pitt, Mr. Burke, Mr. Wilberforce, Bishop Hurd, Sir Joshua ReyBoks, &c.

Application is intended to be made to Parliament the next Session, by two distinct Companies of Adventurers, for the purpose of supplying the Towns of Manchester and Salford with water. By Mr. Dodd's Plan, the situation of the intended reservoirs will be as follow:-A summit reservoir in the land of Mrs. Halliwell, at Cheethamibill; another, adjoining the lands of Mrs. Halliwell, Mrs. Wrigley, and Mr. Smith. A lower reservoir near Smedley-lane, in the lands of Mr. Wm. Fray. The lowest reservoir to be in Strangeways Park, in the land of Lord Ducie. In this plan many lines are sketched out as situations for mains and feeders, branching out to considerable dis tances, in the neighbourhood of Cheetnamhall, Smedly, Ardwick, the Ashton Road, Newton-lane, &c. &c. By Mr. Rennie's Plan, it appears intended to take the Water out of the River Medlock, above the Weir near Holt Town, to convey it some distance till it crusses the road from Manchester to Holt Town, near Beswick Bridge, then in a north westerly direction under the Ashton Canal, and to be there raised by means of a Fire-Engine into one or more Reservoirs in the lands of Sir Oswald Mos ley and Mr. Mitchell. To prevent the Water raised out of the Bradford Colliery Mines from mix ng with the Water to be taken for the use of the town, the Projectors state it to be their intention to convey the Mine Water by Pipes from the Bradford Engine, and to put it into the River Medlock below the Weir mentioned above. The superb and elegant Room, called the Exchange Coffee-Roon at Liverpool, was opened on the second of January. The length from North to South, is 94 feet 3 inches, the breadth 51 feet 9 inches.The ceiling of the room is supported on each side by eight stone columns of the Ionic order, each column composed of one entire and very beautiful shaft, and, including its capital, measuring 20 feet 9 inches from the floor to the bottom of the a rchitrave. The centre part of the roof between the columns is covered, and the arch is neatly ornamented in pannels.-The walls of this noble room are ornamented with twenty pilasters, corresponding to the colonade. There are six large arched windows on the west side, five on the east, and two on the sunth, between which is a handsome recess for an el‹ gaut stove.-There are three large fire-places, and the chimney-pieces are constructed of British black marble, raised near Kendal, and having a rich and handsome effect. The undertaking has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the proprietors, there being already upwards of 1000 annual subscribers, producing a revenue exceeding 20007. per annum, -independent of the considerable increase which is daily making to the present list of subscribers, and of the income which will arise from the various ware-rooms, shops, &c.
