In his 71st year, at Birchfield-house, 

 near Birming-ham, Mark Sajidcrs, Esq. 

 whose loss his family and friends have 

 much to lament, while the public sympathy 

 will not lie withheld from a character of 

 such well-merited reputation. His beue- 

 Tolence urged him on to benefactions of 

 every kind in the sphere of life in which he 

 moved, and it was not limited by any nar- 

 row calculations, nor marked by ostenta- 

 tious display. Throughout a long- course 

 of vigilant and active exertion'in his com- 

 mercial pursuits, by which he created his 

 own affluence, his old established con- 

 nexions either at home or abroad, will 

 bear willing testimony to the sound pro- 

 bity of his mind, which disdained to 

 stoop to those little arts which custom but 

 too frequently authorizes. His habits were 

 too retired and domestic to suffer him to 

 take any prominent part in the momentous 

 public affairs of his day, yet his political 

 opinions were such as accorded with the 

 soundest principles of patriotism and Chris- 

 tianity. Sincerity was the touch-stone of 

 his good opinion, and where he believed 

 this to exist, his right hand of fellowship 

 was freely extended. In short such a com- 

 bination of dilig'cnce, integrity, gentleness, 

 domestic affection, generosity, and uu- 

 bounded goodwill, is rarely concentrated 

 in so exemplary a degree as it was in tliis 

 amiable and meritorious character. 



SHROPSHIRK. 



A meeting of the Agriculturists was 

 lately held at Shrew.-;bury, when it was re- 

 solved, that the distress under which agri- 

 culture labours is occasioned by excessive 

 taxation, and the existing Corn Bill ; for 

 by the latter, the importation of foreign 

 grain is permitted, wider bond, even if the 

 price in our own markets is not 10s. ; and 

 if our markets exceed that price, the ware- 

 housed foreign grain is poiired into the 

 market, 40 per cent, cheaper than it can be 

 grown in this country. A Petition to Par- 

 liament for relief was agreed upon. It, 

 however, is to be regretted that the landed 

 interest so zealously back the ministers in 

 the late wicked and xii, necessary wars 

 against liberty : the costs of which folly 

 and injustice they now grumble to pay. 

 They ought to consider the desolaliou their 

 wars carried among the victims of Europe ; 

 and should not wonder if they now find 

 themselves under the judg-ment of Provi- 

 dence.

GLOUCESTER .\ND MONMOUTH. 



The Peace Society recently established 

 in Gloucester, has put into circulation an 

 interc.-ting and affectionate address to the 

 inhabitants, explaining the nature, prin- 

 ciiiles, and terms of their institution. 



]Mr. Day, Chairman to the Cirencester 

 Agricultural Association, in a letter to 

 Lord Liverpool, says — " I can state with 

 confidence, that there is not so much paid 

 for agricultural labour in this county as 

 was seven ^ears ago by 1.5,000,0001. an- 

 nually ; and admitting that the labourers 

 lay out half their earnings in bread (which 

 I know to be nearly correct,") then it follows 

 that 7,500,0001. are annually lost to the 

 tradesman and manufacturer, in conse- 

 quence of their inability to become pur- 

 chasers."
