CHRONICLE. 
lived chiefly on coarse country food, 
except that, during the last ten 
years of his life, he became parti- 
cularly fond of tea. He wrought 
mostly in the fields at laborious 
work, which he continued till within 
a month of his death. In September, 
1802, he walked for half a mile 
with a load upon his back, which, 
with difficulty, any ordinary man 
could have raised from the ground. 
Several years ago it was advertised 
im the public papers, that an ad- 
miral Hosier had died, and left a 
sum of money, which his relations 
might have upon application ; and 
though, as he had an uncle of the 
name of Hosier, who went into the 
navy as a boy, there was little doubt 
of his being the same person, yet, 
considering that, at such an advanced 
period of life, ease of mind was pre- 
ferable to the expectation of riches, 
he could not be prevailed on to make 
any application. 
MARCH. 
1st. His royal highness the Prince 
of Wales notified, in the most gracious 
and condescending manner, to the 
committee of the Royal Jennerian In- 
stitution, his permission ** to make 
use of his name in any way that they 
might consider it as best calculated 
to forward their Jaudable purpose.” 
Doctor Jenner has received from 
the empress dowager of Russia, 
by the hands of lord St. Helens, 
a present of a most brilliant dia- 
mond ring, accompanied with a let- 
ter from her imperial majesty, an- 
nouncing her successful introduc- 
tion of the vaccine inoculation in 
the charitable establishments under

heath, and intend enlarging it by an 
enclosure from the heath, and there- 
on to erect thé necessary buildings 
and premises for the lately establish- 
ed military college. A superb de- 
sign for which purpose has been pre- 
pared by Mr. Wyatt. This institu. 
tion has two objects in view ; one 
is to give a course of instruction to 
a certain number of military officers 
who have seen service, but who 
have risen by extraordinary merit, 
or been promoted through patron- 
age, or by purchase, without all 
the previous and necessary acquires 
ments. This department is now 
fixed at High Wycomb, where pro- 
fessors of superior abilities are en- 
gaged in the mathematics, drawing, 
fortification, the French and Ger- 
man languages, &c. and the course 
is calculated for furnishing every 
necessary information as well as ac- 
complishment in the military pro- 
fession. The other object of this 
institution is to educate a large num- 
ber of boys for the military service, 
and professors of the first abilities in 
every branch of science connected 
therewith, are, or shortly will be, 
appointed. A considerable number 
of pupils are already admitted.
