- A meeting lately took place at Chiches- 
ter, attended by the philanthropic Mr. 
Clarkson, when a committee was formed 
for the purpose of preparing a petition to 
parliament, in the next session, for amelio- 
rating the condition of the slaves in the 
British colonies.

most beautiful marine ornaments in En- 
rope. Its appearance is light, and, not~ 
withstanding, possesses great solidity. 
A public meeting lately took place at 
Brighton, the Dean of Hereford in the 
chair, to consider the propriety cf esta- 
blishing an Infant School in that town, on 
the plans of Westminster and Spitalfields. 
The meeting were of an opinion that 
Infant Schools, under proper management 
and superintendance, would prove highly 
useful nurseries for the infant poor, and be 
made subservient to training them in the 
very first instance to obedience and regular 
habits. It was accordingly resolved :— 
1. That this meeting views the subject of 
Infant Schools as one of great importance 
to society. 2. That a committee be ap- 
pointed to take into consideration the hest 
means of carrying into effect the objects of 
the preceding resolution, and to prepare 
the details which they may consider ne- 
cessary to submit toa future meeting, to 
be called-at as early a period as possib!e.

Charles Taber, esq. of Portsea, cham- 
berlain of the borough of Portsmouth. 
He went to London for surgical assistance, 
but the complaint under which he had so 
long laboured proved to be of too compli- 
cated a nature to be removed by the ope- 
ration which be underwert. For several 
years before his death, he scarcely enjoyed 
a single hour free from pain; yet, possess- 
ing a fortitude of mind, with a mild and 
kind disposition, he endured great bodily 
affliction with a degree of calmness which 
was most reinarkable.. He was a man of 
considerable attainments in practical’ and 
useful knowledge: there were few subjects 
within the score of those who seek to be 
well-informed for the general purposes of 
life, which he was unacquainted with, or 
on which he could not communicate. To 
an intelligent mind, was added a cheerful- 
ness of temper, which rendered him at all 
times an agreeable companion ; and, in his 
general intercourse, his affability and gen- 
tlemanly deportment, his rigid probity, and 
the information he possessed, procured 
him respect and esteem. There was a 
playfulness of manner, a facetiousness, a 
love of badinage about him, and particularly 
in the company of young persons, which 
often created much mirth and amusement. 
He was the steady friend of the principles 
of the Constitution, and his sentiments on 
all subjects were of the most liberal cha- 
racter; and, when oceasion required, he 
maintained them with ability, and great 
good temper and candour.
