Lieutenant Fitchet, whose death at Carlisle 
Was announced in our last number, enlisted, 
in the year 1776, as_a private in the 4st bat- 
talion of royal artillery. The year following, 
she embarked for America, in which country 
he was actively engaged. He was present at 
» the taking of St. Luciay in 1778—served for 
some time in that and other West India 
islands, was taken prisoner by the French at 
Tobago, in the year 1781, but was exchanged 
in 1762 He remained in his native land 
hut a few weeks, when he went to Canada,

the detachment. of artillery under Major 
Scott. Inthis capacity he served in the army 
under Lord Cornwallis, before Seringapatam, 
in the same year, and was at the siege and 
taking of Pondicherry in 1793. In 1797, he 
was appointed to an ensigncy in the 73d foot, 
and the same year purchased his lieutenancy. 
During the long period he has served his cqun- 
try in the East, he had the honour to com- 
mand his highness the Nizam’s artillery in 
the Mysore war, and was at the siége and 
taking of Seringapatam in 1799. In num- 
berless other engagements Lieutenant Fitchet 
acquitted himself with credit to himself, and 
advantage to his country. One trait of deci- 
sive resolution in the cliaracter of Lieut. 
Fitchet, and for which he, and those engaged 
in the enterprise, received the thanks of the 
superior officers, ought not to be omitted.—On 
the 3ist of July, 1800, Lieut. Fitchet, in 
company with Lieut. Jackson, and fourteen 
men of the 73d, volunteered their services 
to swim across the Malpurba river, which 
they accomplished, though under the guns of 
Manooly Fort, and succeeded in bringing over 
from the enemy a large boat, four field guns, 
and destroyed seven chests of ammunitionsy 
He has left a son, a iieutenant in the 75th re- 
giment, who from the age of ten years was 
with his father in most of the battles in the 
East. ‘

At the late quarterly meeting of the Hol- 
derness Agricultural Scciety, which was heid 
at Hedon, before dinner, as is customary, the 
Society discussed the following agricultural 
question, viz.—‘* What are the camparative 
profits of crops of hempand flax, with respect 
to each other, or to crops of corn?—Is the 
land on whieh they are cultivated more or 
less fitted for a succeeding crop; and what 
sort of land is best adapted to the growth of 
hemp and flax?” The result of the discus- 
sions of sucha subject, by such a Society, and 
in such a district, cannot at this particalar 
crisis but be of importance to the pubtic.— 
Notwithstanding flax has been very little 
grown in Holderness, several of the members 
present were so far acquainted wich the mode 
of cultivating it, as to be thoroughly con- 
oC viaced
