His master was trained by Mr. Lancaster, at the Royal Free School, Southwark.

The Marquis of Bute has established a school on a liberal principle' at Luton, and Mr. Wiltshire has instituted another at Hitchen, so that it is very probable, all the poor of Bedfordshire will speedily be in a very happy train of instruction: a school also is likely to be soon opened at Newport Pagnell.

The steeple of Harwich Church, on a late survey, has been pronounced in so ruinous and dangerous a state, as to render it necessary to be taken down and rebuilt. It having been for a great number of years a conspicuous seamark, we mention this circunstance for the information of mariners. We also mention it as a caution, that the inhabitants of those parishes in all parts of the kingdom, who may have towers or steeples to their churches, may cause an immediate inspection as to their being in a secure state.

A petition from the merchants, ship-owners, and underwriters, of Lloyd's Coffeehouse, and others, has been presented to the House of Commons, for aid to improve and enlarge the harbour of Shoreham, in such a manner, as to render it a safe resort for vessels of considerable burthen; and little doubt is entertained but that measure of such great importance, will with all convenient speed, be carried into effect. By such improvement, this town will, from its vicinity, be particularly convenienced, even inore than if the jetty some time since projected, had been effected, as it will, in this case, have all the advantages of commerce, without any of the inconveniences which, it was alledged would have attended Mr. Dodd's plan, to the great annoyance of v sitors. Among other projected improvements in Shoreham harbour, it is intended to cut a cánal from the docks there to Worthing; and also to make a canal, or iron rail-way, which will extend to the eastward, as far as Lewes. A Bill is now passing through the House of Commons, for reviving the ancient Roman road leading to Arundel, Bognor, and Chichester, from near Dorking. This great public improvement, effected by the spirit and exertions of some gentlemen in Surry and Sussex, will shorten the distance to Bognor and Arundel seven miles, and to Chichester two miles, besides passing through a level and fine part of the country. In consequence of the success of the school on Lancaster's plan at Lewes, one is to be established at Brighton. Married.] At Lewes, Mr. Frederic Lee, to Miss Wheeler.
