From the well known integrity of his cha« 
racter, he was employed in various pofts both 
public and private, which he difcharged to 
the fatisfa€tion of all parties. He was a fteady 
friend, and left nothing undone, upon any 
occafion, to ferve thofe for whom he pro-

and devout, and his religion was not debafed 
by fournefs, or mifled by narrow or unchari-

tachiments, he was yet the univerfal friend of 
mankind ; and as Providence had bleffed his

it he was ever ready to impart to others. An

1% addition to the difficulties which we obferved in our laft, the qwoo//en-trade in the weft of Enge 
land at prefeat labours under the want of raw-wool has become very great, from the fupply 
Not being equal even to the fmall demand which now exifts: the price of chains is advaneing, 
and the difficulty of purchafing them at all, it is feared, will increafe, as the wool declers in thig 
part of the country are out-traded by their rivals in the north, by whom, it is well known, the 
fleeces of a flock of fheep are frequently bargained for a long while before the fhearing feafon 
begins. The greater advantages derived from machinery by the manufa@turers in the north, is 
the chief caufe of their fuperiority, as itenables them to fell goods of the fame quality cheaper 
than they can be made on the {pot where the wool is grown. The union with Ireland is confi- 
dered both by the merchants and manufadturers in the woollen trade as threatening them with 
new evils; they accordingly petitioned parliament againit'it, on which occafion it was ftated that 
“*the growth of wool in Great Britain is not more than adequate to fupplythe manufa@turers with 
a quantity equal to the prefent demand, and therefore, if any wool in'the raw ftate is permitted 
to be exported, they and their labourers muft fuffer very material injury.’? 
The difcovery latcly made by Mr. Thomas Foden, of a chryftalline #xe and paffe from veges 
table and mineral fubftatices, as a fubftitute for wheat four in all purpofes of manufacture where 
wheat flour is ufed, appearing likely to be attended with important advantages, and that it may 
fave the ufe of wheat flour to a very confiderable extent, the Houfe of Commons have addrefled 
his Majefty to requeft that he would direct {uch further enquiry to be made on the fubjeét as thal! 
be neceflary for afcertaining whether the ingredients for making this fubititute can be furnifhed in 
fufficient quantities and at fuch reafonable prices, as to afford a fupply equal to the confumption 
which may be required for the various manu‘a¢tures in which it may be ufeful; and in cafe it 
fhall appear that the difcovery can be carried to.fuch an extent as to be of confiderable national 
advantage, to orderfuch fum tobe advanced to Mr. Foden for that purpofe, as his Majefty thall 
judge proper, which will be made good by parliament. 
Another difcovery, which promifes to be of much importance, is that of extraéting ink from 
printed and written paper, and making other paper therefrom, fitfor writing, printing, and other 
purpoles. A bdillhas been brought into Parliament for incorporating a company for the purpoie 
of eftablifhing a manufactory for carrying thyS fcheme into execution, and another bill has been 
brought in to exempt from duty wate paper imported into the kingdom for the purpofe of being 
re-manufactured, except the duty impofed by the convoy aét. 
Several other commercial fubjeéts have lately claimed the attention of Parliament, in confe- 
quence of which an act has been pailed for repealing part of the duties and drawbacks of cuftoms 
on kid /kizsimported, and the exemption of imported kid tkins from Excife duty on being dreffed 
in Great Britain; alfo an a@t for repealing fo much of an act pafled in the fecond year of fames I, 
as prohibits the ule of arfe Aides in making boots and fhoes, and for the better preventing the 
damaging of raw hides and {kins in the flaying thereof, he ftamp duties impofed on perfumery | 
and on licences for felling the fame, by 26 Geo. LIE, having fallen off very confiderably, have 
heen repealed, A bill has been brought in for permitting the free importation of /izjeed cakes and 
rape cakes in neutral {hips ; and likewife a bill for continuing and amending the act paifed in the 
lait feifion for enabling his majefty to prohibit the exportation, and permit the importation of carz, 
aad tor allowing the importation of other articles of proyifion, without payment of duty,
