1796.]

in partnership with two Meffrs. Shewells, and their brewery was fituated in Old-street, near the turnpike. On the death of these persons, a relation of the fame name fucceeded to the partnership, and it was carried on for many years, under the firm of Whitbread and Shewell. By Mr. Whitbread's great activity in bufinefs, the trade continually increafed, fo that it was already a very large concern, when the brewery was removed to its prefent fituation in Chifwell-ftreet. From about the year 1760, Mr. Whitbread was alone, as he ever afterwards continued to be. As he rofe towards the head of the trade, a long conteft was maintained between his house and that of Mr. Felix Calvert, each, by turns, having the fuperiority. At length Mr. Whitbread decidedly took the lead, which he never loft; his name for a number of years, being at the top of the porter brewery lift. He reached the quantity (then thought prodigious) of 100,000 barrels in the year 1779, or 1780; but he lived to fee this increased to upwards of 202,000 barrels, the number which appears annexed to his name on the general return of the London breweries in July, 1796. The honour done to his profeffional reputation, a few years fince, by the liberal curiofity of his Majefty in vifiting his brewhoufe, is in every one's recollection.

The nature of Mr. Whitbread's trade was not materially different from that of the London porter-brewers in general. The home demand was by far the most confiderable; but he exported pretty largely, especially to Ireland. The high character his beer acquired, rendered it lefs neceffary for him to push bufinefs, by becoming the owner of a great number of public houses, than it was for many of his brethren. He is faid alfo to have carried on bufinefs much cheaper than most others, and particularly to have employed fewer horfes. A fteam engine, of the improved kind, made by Meffrs. Bolton and Watt, which he fet up, twelve years fince, occafioned a great faving in the labour of horfes. His eftablishment of workmen was, on the average, about 200. Mr. W. had the good fortune of poffeffing a fucceffion of excellent clerks and other principal fervants, whofe places he rendered very lucrative. Latterly, the bufinefs was almost entirely committed to their management and it continued to improve, in every refpect, under their hands. The value of his capital, and all his works and brewing utenfils, has been very variously ftated, nor will it admit of more than a wide guefs. The best idea of it may be formed from the value of the beer brewed last year, which, inclufive of duty, amounted to 300,000l. The establishment that could produce fuch a yearly quantity of goods for fale, must be of

509

first-rate magnitude. It is no wonder that a fortune, built upon fuch a foundation, should rapidly accumulate. Mr. W. was long a great purchafer of landed property. His chief acquifitions were made in his native county, where, befides other large eftates, he bought the whole domains of the late lord Torrington. His own refidence was at Bedwell-park, in Hertfordfhire, where his property was chiefly ornamental. He alfo poffeffed the valuable limeworks and wharfs at Purfleet, in Effex. As few perfons have fo much enriched thenr felves by trade, fo fcarcely have any expended their wealth in a more liberal and benevolent manner. His charities, public and private, were probably furpaffed by hardly a fingle individual in the kingdom, of any rank; nor were they limited by any narrow confideration of party. The annual penfioners on his bounty were numerous; and his gratitude for services done him in the early part of life, difplayed itfelf to remote defcendants.

Mr. W. was returned a member of parlia ment, for the town of Bedford, in 1768; in which capacity he continued to ferve till the laft parliament, when his fon fucceeded him there, and he himself became member for Steyning. His vote was commonly, but not uniformly, in favour of the minifter.

Mr. W. was twice married. By his first wife, the daughter of W. Haydon, Efq. an attorney of eminence, in the county of Bucks, he left two daughters and one fon: the eldest daughter, Mrs. Gordon, wife of James Gordon, jun, efq. the fecond, lady St. John, wife to lord St. John, of Bletfoe; and the present Samuel Whitbread, efq. married to a daughter of General fir Charles Grey. By his fecond wife, lady Mary Cornwallis, fifter to the prefent marquis Cornwallis, he left one daughter, Mrs. Grey, wife of captain Grey, of the navy, one of the fons of fir Charles Grey.

He left his only fon heir to his landed property, and to the whole Brewery concern, which is now carried on for his account. Very confiderable and fpirited improvements are at this time making in the buildings and works in Chifwell-ftreet.

There was lately difcovered, in a peat moss, u the parish of Burgh-by-Sands, the entire keleton of an animal of the ox kind, much larger than any at prefent produced in this inland. The cores (or infide of the horns) which are firmly fixed to the skull, measure 13 inches each in circumference, near the roots. The outfide or horney part, is entirely gone to decay. The upper part of the fkeleton was about four feet below the furface. The animal was lying upon its back. One one of the ribs, which are very large, had been broken about the middle, but knit together again. The teeth were moftly found; one of which (a grinder or dens molaris) measures nearly five inches round. It is evident, from the fkull and jaw-bones, that from the top of the head to the end of the fnout, had not been lefs than two feet fix inches. The front of the skull is near two inches and a half thick. One of the fame fpecies was found last year, in a marle pit, near Jedburgh, in Scotland.

In a fmall hamlet in this county, about 14 miles from Kefwick, are now living Mary Atkis, whofe age is 119, and her two fons; the eldeft being 97 years old, the youngest 95, and his wife 73.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. There is at this time a fifterhood of 25 nuns, refiding at St. Helen's Aukland, in the county of Durham. They occupy the venerable hall, formerly the feat of Francis Carr, Efq. Nothing can surpass the luxuriance of the situation, nor

its fitness for the purpofe to which it has been lately applied. Thefe exiles were forced from Douay, by the overwhelming progrefs of the French arms, to feek their prefent afylum in the fweet and peaceful fhades of Aukland.

The objections which have been lately started against the practicability of canal boats navigat ing open rivers, are completely refuted by the following fact: A veffel of this difcription, from Ferrybridge, Yorkshire, of fifty tons' burthen, and drawing four feet fix inches water, lately entered the river Tyne, delivered her cargo of pot-afhes at the Glafs-houfes at Lemington, and returned laden with coals. The boat was navigated by two men only; and the mafter declared that he had carried cargoes of corn to London and other ports, and fhould not be afraid of going to the Baltic, in the fame veffel, in the fummer feafon.

A general meeting of all perfons interested in the navigation of the Tyne, has lately been held at Newcastle. It appeared to the meeting, that fome measures ought immediately to be adopted, for removing the fhoals and fands, and for preventing the fame from growing up in future. In confequence, it was refolved that a fubfcription fhould be entered into, and an act of parliament obtained for effecting the faid impovments. Mr. Cardonnel, the High Sheriff, was in the chair, and a committe has been appointed to conduct the bufinefs, confifting of moft of the nobility, country gentlemen, &c. in the county.
