Moore's Almanack, and calculator to the Stationers' Company. By his own industry, with a limited education, he made great progress in the liberal sciences, and had been for some years justly esteemed one of the best astronomical calculators of the age. He was for many years engaged as the computer of the Nautical Ephemeris; and, on retiring from that situation, received the thanks of the Board of Longitude, accompanied by a handsome present, as a tribute due for his long and ar duous services; his profound knowledge of astronomy, and the mathematics in general, were acknowledged by all scientific men who were acquainted with him. He was an excellent man in every relation of life, modest, to a degree, which retarded his interest, and in sound integrity he could not be surpassed. As an author, he might be considered as the most popular of his age, Moore's Almanack rising, under his management, in spite of quadruple duties, from 1 to 400,000 per annum. Nevertheless, he wrote this Almanack as a task for the Company, and conformed himself to the rules of astrological art, without laying any stress on his predictions, or taking any credit for the chances which sometimes led to their fulfilment. The greatness of his mind was never more conspicuous than during the hopeless period of his last illness.

ESSEX.

A numerous meeting of the owners and occupiers of land within the eastern district of Essex, was lately held at Colchester, to take into consideration the most advisable means of relieving the agricultural interest from its present depression. Several resolutions were entered into; and it was agreed to form an association to protect the interests of agriculture, under the title of the "East Essex Agricultural Society." A petition to parliament was likewise read and approved of, and ordered to lie at various places for signatures. In this document the petitioners state, among many serious truths," That, unless a very considerable reduction speedily takes place in the present excessive heavy charges in rates and taxes, or a better price be secured to the growers of corn, it is impossible the land can long continue to be properly cultivated; and, amongst other fatal consequences, the total ruin of the farmer must be inevitable. That the inability of a large majority of the occupiers of land to employ their accustomed number of labourers, tends materially to lessen the produce, and to increase in a most alarming degree, the already enor mous extent of pauperism. That the petitioners humbly hope, that, in stating their grievances, they may be permitted to offer their opinion, that the partial manner in which the averages regulating the importation of foreign corn are now taken, together with the warehousing system, and the very heavy excise duties upon barley, from the period of its growth to its ultimate consumption (amounting together to not less than 65s. per quarter) are the principal combining causes of their present distress."

By this means, new subscribers will not be discouraged by the extent and expense of the previous sèries, while a valuable addition will be made, by these occasional volumes, to the stock of current literature.
