He then moved, "That this Court, fully fenfible of the benefits which have refu'ted to the community at large, and to the metropolis in particular from the introduction of the Jennerian mode of Inoculation, and defirous that the practice may be univerfally diffused, do fubfcribe the fum of gool towards the carrying more fully into effect the Lindable purposes of the Royal Jennerian Socity for the Extermination of the Small Pox; and that the faid fum be paid by the Chamberlain of this City to the Right Honourable the Lord, Mayor, one of the three Trustees of the Society.

Monday, March 21.

This day being the ann verfary of the memorable battle of Alexandria, the Turkith piece of ordnance, taken in that battle, was placed in St. James's Park, amidit a great coucourse of people. It is 16 feet in length, but was originally 20 feet. The carnage for this cannon, on each fide, in different compartments was inlaid with copper; the centre one reprefenting Britannia feated on a rock, with a Lion at her feet, pointing to the British Camp; the figure of a Crocodile, four feet long, was executed in a masterly ftyle of workmanship. The Royal Crown, with the initials G. R. the Sword and Sceptre at the lower part, added to the embellish

ments; and alfo a ftar, with the motto of the Knights of the Garter. The head of the cannon refts on the figure of a Sphinx. The Band of the Guards, as foon as it was placed, played "God fave the King ;" and the foldiers and populace gave three huzzas. Among the company who were prefent were the Duke of York, the Earl of Chatham accompanied by the Countess, Lord Gwydir, and a number of nobility.

Thursday, March 31.

A new inftitution has been established in London, under the title of "The British School. Its purport is to afford an opportunity for Acufts to display fuch of their produЯtions as they intend for fale, and to contribute to fupport themselves and families in cafe of fickness or of death.

A fecond voluminous but curious Report on the Crown Lands has been published, in conformity with the directions of the act of the 34th of the prefent King, for the better management of the land revenue of the Crown, and for the fale of fee-farm and other unimprove ble rents. Mr. Fordyce, of the Land Revenue Office, is the author of this Report, which, after a variety of statemen's on the improveable rents, proceeds to those not of an improve able nature. In the progrefs of the Report, we notice the mooring-chains of the River Thames, held on leafe of the Crown by the Gwydir family; likewife the Sunk and in the Humber, as highly improveable, But all we can fay withis our narrow limits will convey but a faint idea of the great mais of matter brought forth in this report. -As many of the holders of the Crown Lands had obtained them unfairly, and by various encroachments, fo, of course, a variety of complaints have been made against the new regulations, and reclaims on the part of the Crown; indeed, we are not a little furpr fed to fee, among the pa pers forming part of the Report, a copy of a memorial prefented by a number of the tenants of the Crown, complaining of the general hardships of leafes granted in the manner now adopted, and pacting several extreme cafes of diftrefs which may occur, It is rather remarkable, that among the tenants complaining of thefe great hardships and poñible dutreifts, the greatest number of names are thofe of Peers, of the hughett rank, Members of Parliament, and private individuals of high diftinction and fortune. The titles of Richmond, Marlborough, Leeds, Queenfberry, Effex, Harrington, Gower, Fife, Sheffield, and Whitworth, are not the only remarkable ones. The anfwer of the Lords of the Treasury to these was, that it was impoffible to make any general regulation, where every two indidual cafes were different; but that no individual, who had a real caufe for distress, thould fuffer hardship from the Crown.

Difficulties, on all hands, prefented themselves. The original will was bulky and voluminous. With mine annexed codicils, it extends to a length of more than an hundred folio pages. It involved alfo a vast number of legacies, annuities, appointments, donations, directions, and injunctions, which, being all to be previously cle red off and fettled, prefented a mott formidable weight of employment. The following are the donations to the Univerfity, all of which, after the lapfe of the annuities, will doubtlefs be bestowed agreeably to the bequest of Mr. Hulfe: a yearly revenue of about 150l. for preaching and publishing twenty formons, yearly, in vindication of the general authority and particular evidences of Chriftianity; an annuity, of nearly equal value to the former, for the establishment of a writer, who is to publish a book every year, tending to the confirmation of the doctrines, or the removal of fome difficulties in Chriftianity. The writer is to be called "The Chriftian Advocate." The remaining part of the produce of his estate Mr. Hulfe has devoted to the foundation of two scholarships in St. John's, each of which will be 40l. per annum. The vicechancellor for the time being, and the heads of Trinity and St. John's, are to have the nomination in all thefe appointments.

Her conftitution, naturally frail, funk under the pretture of fevere domeftic trials; but, to adopt the language of a late able writer, Mrs. Downing, "with the weakness of a woman, had all the fortitude of a man, I mean a Chriftian." After having mourn ed the diffolution of fome of the nearest ties which can bind the human heart to earth, Mrs. Downing's maternal tenderness was powe fully awakened by the almoft fudden death of a leloved and only fon, who fell a facrifice to his active exertions (as a lieutenant of the London and Westminster Light Horfe Volunteer) towards quelling the fcandalous rio's in September, 1800; and this heavy affliction was followed by another equally fo, the lofs of an amiable and beloved daughter, whom grief for the death of ber brother brought to an early grave in July, 1802, at Chiton, near Brittol, where he had been fent for the recovery of her health.
