DEVONSHIRE. 



An investigation of liia numerous records 

 of Exeter has lately til ken place. Upwards 

 of 100 manuscripts have already lieeu disco- 

 vered ; many of them beautifully v.ritten on 

 fine vellum, and present some curious and 

 interesting occurrences. The earliest found 

 is of the time of William Rufus, 1090. We 

 hope other corporations will imitate the same 

 example, as a means of bringing to light 

 every highly curious document ; and we hope 

 our correspondents will not forget our readi- 

 ness lo give place to such articles. 



The receiving-house of ihe Powder Works 

 at Kinterbury, near Plymouth, lately blew 

 up, and a man and a boy were killed. About

 tion, and violently shook the houses for se- 

 veral miles round.

 birth-day of a most distinguished native of 

 Greenock, the late James Wait, esq. was 

 commemorated, iu the Tontine, Glasgow, 

 by the most numerous and respectable as- 

 semblage of the inhabitants ever witnesse(t 

 here on such an occasion. A fine bust, 

 crowned with laurel, and raised on a pedestal, 

 of the illustrious philosopher, to tha celebra- 

 tion of whose birth the evening was dedi- 

 cated, was appropriately placed at one of 

 the extremities of the room. The chair was

 Greenock may justly be proud.
