This truly amiable and unfortu. flicted with an incurable malady, which has, since his death, been ascertained to have proceeded from water in the head. His lordship married in 1800, Maria, daughter of Sir John Eden, bart. At Kingsland, near Stoke Newington, aged 18, Mr. Thomas Unwin, of a rapid mortification occasioned by a slight cut on the fore finger of the right hand, to which, at first, no attention was paid, but which, notwithstanding the medical and surgical skill of Mr. Ashley Cooper, and another medical gentleman, has terminated thus fatally. Of the character or life of this young man little can necessarily be generally known, but what was known was of the best; perhaps the friend who writes this might view him with an eye of partiality, for he had seen his virtues gradually budding and unfolding themselves, ripening with his growth, and strengthening with his strength; but, alas! gentleness, humanity, generosity, all the virtues, are of no avail against the ruthless stroke of death; they must be rewarded in another world, where neither rust or moth consumeth; yet, to a mother and two sisters it is distressing, donbly distressing, to be bereft of this their only remaining son and brother, in so quick and sudden a manner; scarcely four years since the death of his brother, who was drowned bathing. The friend who writes this feeble tribute to the memory of one of his intimates, doubly grieves, knowing he could, were he not fully convinced to the contrary, almost repine at Providence; but he consoles himself with the reflection, that whatever God ordaineth must be for the best, and though the Lord taketh away, yet the Lord giveth. At Whitchurch, Edgeware, the Rev. Henry Poole, M.A. chaplain to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and formerly tutor to the present Lord Southampton and the Fitz. roy family, 66. By the death of this gentle man, two livings are become vacant; that of Whitchurch, ably occupied by the deceased during thirty-four years, seventeen of which he received no ty the; and another at Hearne hill, in Kent, presented to him by the late Archbishop of Canterbury, at the instance of Lord Southampton. To give any adequate outline of the character of this truly good and amiable man, would far exceed our limits, and even then it would be but an imperfect sho dow of the original Private life has its incidents which engage the heart without af fecting the imagination, much more perma nently than the achievements of the hero, or the labours of the statesman; and those who have enjoyed Mr. Poole's society, felt the warmth and purity of his friendship, witnested the soundness of his judgment, and bene fited by his instructions, are best able to judge of this truth, and to estimate the loss of one of the best of men. As a scholar, few of the present day, perhaps, could surpass him; and 1 as a lover of truth, and of every virtue which characterizes the exalted Christian, he was eminently conspicuous. In the pulpit he inspired reverential awe, and the plain, easy, yet nervous style of his discourses, never fail ed to make a due impression on the mind of his hearers, and often awakened the feelings of those who had hitherto lived in a state of thoughtless indifference respecting their fu. ture existence: With aspect mild, and elevated eye, Behold him seated on a mount serene Above the fogs of sense, and passion's storm: All the black cares and tumults of this life, Like harmless thunders, breaking at his feet, Excite his pity, not impair his peace. At Malta, in the 27th year of his age, Mr. Theodore Galton, second son of Samuel G. esq. of Dudson, near Birmingham. He was returning from a long voyage, undertaken from a classical taste, and in search of knowledge, to the coasts of the Mediterranean, and parti. cularly to Asia Minor and Greece. He had been daily and impatiently expected by his anxious friends, and was actually supposed to be oa board the vessel that brought the account of his decease. This young man is deeply and deservedly regretted. Few persons have been so strikingly distinguished for those attractive qualities and graces of the mind that excite regard; and for those disinterested and generous perfections that retain it. A school may be considered as the epitome of the world, where the future charac ter is first unfolded and made known. A nativé dignity, that scorned a meanness, or a misrepresentation, or any plausible duplicity, soon distinguished him. A high sense of honor, and all the inagnanimous virtues that stamp the mind with true nobility, excited in his equals at school a kind of idolatry to wards him. Even his preceptors felt the force of his character; his superiors learnt to respect and honor him; communicating to his parents exultingly, from time to time, extraordinary instances of his great and feeling mind, and of that sacred observance of truth in its unperverted simplicity, which raised him in after life above little, designing men. Such was the basis of his future character; a character which never abandoned him, but which might be said to have grown with his manly growth, and to have strengthened with his advancing years. The same influence of a superior nature that was felt by bis early connexions and associates, was felt ever after in future life by all who approached him. Those who obtain dominion over the youthful mind through fear, could never succeed in debasing his; but many undue advantages were obtained through the medium of his affections. It was a pre-eminent excellence, and it distinguished him from the cradle to the grave, that to a Roman spirit he united the most affectionate sensibilities. He might, The perhaps, in some instances, have merited that observation which is made by Fielding. re specting Allworthy, "that the best of heads was misled by the best of hearts!" The phlegmatic and cold may consider this as censure; such censure is distinguished praise. Mr. Theodore Galton was never known to have lost the affections of a friend. regard he had once excited, was a feeling deeply established in the heart; and the bay who had been attached to him, however early the period, became so imperceptibly more and more, as life advanced. Nor was be remembered with indifference even by those who periods of time he was thought of with rehad not seen or heard of him during long gret, for scarcely was his equal to be expected in future lite! He never had a personal ene my; though upon one or two occasions of his life he had been ill used, from motives of interest, by designing and sordid minds. He was, however, not capable of a malignant feeling; he was never known to have harboured a resentment; he was often known to have entirely forgotten that he had been injured: he was capable of being made angry, but his anger was not the retaliation of low passions. It was the indignation of a noble mind that spurned at a meanness, or at any injurious suspicion that cast a shade over the open day-light of his own conduct. His commanding figure, and the Grecian contour of his features, might have been considered by the sculptor as models for his art. The dark shade of his hair and eyes, and the manly red and white of his complexion, give a brilliant effect, and added a rich lustre to his face. These personal advantages were how. ever forgotten, and, as it it were, lost in the captivating influence of his manners and countenance. No human features were ever lighted-up with more beaming splendors, with more intelligence, or with finer sensibilities; always awakened to the occasion. His mind was seen in its emanations; it shone forth externally, and its brightness seemed like a light to surround him. In every so ciety he was a distinguished object; and his superiors in age, in class, and even in attainments, felt themselves flattered by his notice. This influence was never weakened by habit it was felt by those who lived with him equally as by others. Almost every person who had accidentally met him as a stranger, left him with the feelings of a friend. This was exemplified in the following fact. A gentleman, who had never before seen Mr. Theodore Galton, spent one morning with him, by chance, notlong before he lefe England. When the same gentleman afterwards saw in the public papers the account of his death, he burst into tears! Those who possessed a congenial nobility of mind, felt the influence of his character peculiarly. Mr. Simmons, a merchant from Smyrna, and a stranger to Mr. Theodore Galton, embark offended. His heart was warmed towards every friend; it was a heart that exulted in their joys, and that met their sorrows. To his parents he exhibited a very uncommon example of filial duty, and of filial love. But, he is no more!-May he still be contemplated in his character, like a fine model for imitation! Should this inadequate sketch meet the eyes of any one of his juvenile friends, from whom time and events may long have divided him, the heart of that friend will acknowledge the likeness, and the influence be revived of such feelings, as probably no individual has since excited. He will dwell with a mournful, satisfaction upon the past; and recalling the image of his bright associate, he will embalm his memory with tears. ed in the same Puniscian vessel, for Malta. The Rev. Dr. Champneys, whose death is mentioned at p. 465 of our last Number, waS born April 24, 1756, O.S. was entered of Trinity college, Cambridge; B.A. there 1760, M. A. 1767. He was elected a minore canon of St. Paul's in 1760; and, after filling several offices in that cathedral, eventually became sub-dean thereof. For nearly 50 years he was minor-canon of Westminsterabbey; and for almost as long a period minorcanon of Windsor. He was successively possessed of the benefices of Kensworth and Caddington, Hestfordshire; Langdon Hills, Essex; and St. Pancras, Middlesex; all in the gitt of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. Dr. C. at one period also enjoyed a living from the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, who' permitted him to resign it in favour of his eldest son, the Rev. Weldon C. In the early part of his life he was for a short time minister of the chapel at Market-street, Herts, which he resigned 39 years ago. He also held, for many years, under the patro nage of Sir Christopher Whichcot, bart, the vicarage of Deeping James, Lincolnshire. He was the oldest lecturer in London, having been chosen to the lectureship of St. Bride's in 1767; and was for many years chaplain to the worshipful companies of Goldsmiths, Cutlers, &c. In all his various preferments, Dr. Champneys was very indefatigable in his attention to the duties of his profession; and, from his pleasant and convivial habits, and lively turn of conversation, was much erteened by the members of the respectable corporate bodies to which he had the honour of being chaplain, and by an extensive circle of private friends.

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND f The Workington Agricultural Meeting was numerously attended from all parts of the kingdom, on the 26th and 27th of October. Amongst the experiments at the Schoose that attracted attention was the substitution of earth taken from the quarries of the most inferior kind, impregnated with lime this was applied for raising potatoes. The produce was found to be two thirds of what was obtained from upwards of seventy single horse carts of dung. By proper attention in securing the drainage from horses and cattle, a great source of manure may be obtained. The manure collected and made at the Schoose amounts to upwards of 13,000 single carts, supposing three to a ton, or 4,350 tons; in the carrying of it out, the horses are estimated to travel full 20,000 miles. Of the experimental wheats sent by order of Bonaparte to the Board of Agriculture, and distributed by them, none of those tried at the Schoose are likely to answer; they are all spring wheats, supposed to have been brought from Egypt; the extensive trials made of spring wheat at the Schoose have not succeeded. Friday morning was spent in adjusting the premiums for stock. The milch cows, which had been constantly soiled for twelve months, were in a condition beyond any thing that could have been supposed. The mode of supplying milk for the poor, was reported to have been adopted in various parts, in consequence of what had been done at the Schoose; and the result has been every where the same, producing the greatest benefit and comfort to the public. November 25d, about one in the morning, a dreadful fire was discovered at the cotton mill of Messrs. Robson and Arthur Graham, in Carlisle. It raged with such violence, that, although every exertion was made to subdue the flames, the building was soon reduced to ashes. Such was the celerity of the flames in reaching every part of the mill, that no part of the machinery, or stock of cotton in the warehouse could be saved. Two merchildren were lately discovered by three respectable tradesmen of Douglas, Isle of Man, during an excursion on the Calf of Man, in quest of sea fowl. Attracted by a sound somewhat resembling the cries of a young kitten, they found, on searching amongst the rocks, two small marine animals, exactly resembling in their form that species of creature so often described and known by the name of the merman. One of them was dead, and much ulcerated by the violence with which it had been driven on shore, during a violent gale of wind on the preceding night; the other was however conveyed to Douglas, where it still remains, and seems likely to do well. It is one foot eleven inches and three quarters in length, from the crown of its head to the extremity of its tail; five inches across the shoulders; its skin is of a very pale brown colour, and the scales on its tail are tinged with violet; the hair, if it may be so called, on its head, is of a light green cast, it is attached to the crown of the head, only hanging loose about the face, about four inches in length, very gelatinous to the touch, and somewhat resembling the green sea-weed commonly growing on rocks; its mouth is small, and has no appearance of teeth. It delights much in swimming about in a large tub of sea-water, and feeds chiefly on muscles and other shell-fish, which it devours with avidity: it also now and then swallows small portions of milk and water, when given to it in a quill.
