fire, which quickly set the whole in a blaze, and, in 
a few hours, reduced that extensive establishment, 
three lodging-houses and several cottages to a heap 
of ruins. No engines were to be procured nearer 
than Chichester, a distance of eight miles. A sub- 
scription is raising on behalf of the sufferers. 
June 21.—The Governors of Tunbridge School 
held their first annual visitation since the establish- 
ment of the School under the late order of the 
Court of Chancery.—There are sizteen exhibitions 
of £100 per annum each—to one or at most two of 
which, scholars are to be appointed annually—until 
1829—but after that period, four boys are to be 
elected every year—The successful candidate on this 
occasion was B. Hayley, of Brightling, Sussex ; the 
exhibitions being open to scholars from ail parts of 
the kingdom, with a preference to those dwelling 
within ten miles of Tunbridge. Copies of the sta- 
tutes and regulations were distributed in the School 
to the company assembled, and means have been 
taken to circulate them throughout the county. We 
hope the day is not far off when the same pains will 
be taken with all the public schools in the kingdom, 
some of which are in a shamefully neglected state, 
notwithstanding the laudable and laborious exertions 
of Mr. Brougham.

By the meteorological journal kept at the observa- 
tory of the Royal Academy at Gosport, it appears that 
we have not had so dry aspring, orso small a quantity 
of rain as the last afforded, since 1806, a period of 
twenty years. June 27. wasa dry, hot sultry day and 
night, as soon after noon the thermometer in the shade 
(northern aspect) rose to 86 degrees, and adead calm 
was observed at intervals with glows of descending 
heat from a bed of cirrocumulus in the zenith, which 
confined the heat downwards and raised the thermo- 
meter as high as its maximum for the last summer. 
The mean temperature of the external air for June 
was four degrees higher than the mean of June for 
the last ten years.

The new road between Wiveliscombe and Tiver- 
ton, through Bampton, is now open, by which a

of seven miles, and without a hill.

Privy Council relative to the Wharfage Charges in 
the port of Bristol have been sent to each member of 
the Chamber of Commerce, for the information of 
those engaged in the trade between Ireland and Bris- 
tol; but the different construction put upon the 
meaning of the Acts by the two Public Bodies is 
at such variance, that some further steps will be 
necessary to be taken before the question is decided.

when a variety of premiums were awarded for 
sheep-shearing, for live stock and wool, wheat crops;

them, there were several for industry and faithful 
servitude, examples worthy of imitation throughout 
the kingdom. Arrangements are making at Dor-
