Mr. John Govier, of Kingfton, near Taun- 
ton, has now, in a young orchard, a number 
of apple-trees with a quantity of apples on 
them, which bloffomed at Michaelmas laft, 
before the firft crop of fruit was taken in; 
and the fecond crop are very fine, and fufiici- 
ently large to gather. 
From the ftatement of the Committee for 
the Management of the Sunday Schools and 
Schools of Induftry at Bath, it appears, that 
the difburfements for thofe charities, in 1804, 
exceed the receipts by the fum of 311. 8s. rid. 
which remains due to the bankers. The 
Committee have hitherto received and in- 
ftru&ted all the poor children who have been 
offered from the parifhes of Bath, Walcot, 
Widcombe, and Bathwick, amounting nearly 
to feven hundred; thatthe furplus of the con- . 
tributions, after defraying the expences of 
the Sunday Schools, is appropriated to the 
fupport of the Schoofs of Induftry, where 
one hundred children, taken in rotation from 
the Sunday Schools, are daily and diligestly 
inftruéted and employed in reading, knitting, 
and fewing. All thefe children have, this 
year, been completely clothed. From the 
low condition of their fund, they find them- 
felves under the painful necefiity of ftating, 
that the fchools will be reduced at Eafter 
next: at the fame time, the Committee are 
not without hope that the liberal and humane 
public, eftimating the benefits of fuch a cha- 
ritable feminary, and deploring that fuch a 
Bbumber of peor children fhauld be deprived 
of the means of inftru@ion, and knowledge 
of religion, and the advantages refulting 
from early habits of induftry, will give them 
fuch fupport as may enable them {till to con- 
tinue the faid fchoo!s, on their ufual frugal 
eftablifhment. , 
The conductors of the Strangers’ Friend 
Society at Bath, inftituted in 1790, for the 
purpofe of diftributing to the poor money, 
food, coals, clothing, medicines, Scc. at their 
own homes, expended, in the above purpofes, 
from December 31, 1803, to December 31, 
1804, the fum of 2141. 6s, 6d. They make 
a point of not relieving firect beggars, as 
they think it a duty ftriétly to difcriminate

Perfons of all nations, and all religions, have 
an equal claim on the funds of this fociety, 
which, fince its inftitution, has relieved

By the account of the ftate of the 
Briftol Dock Company,  publifhed by 
the Dire€tors, it appears that the foums 
received on account of that company, 
amount to 94,2181. 18s. and the expences 
to 93,2491. 4s. 1d. leaving a balance of 
9691. 13s. 11d. 
At a numerous and highly refpe&table 
meeting held at Bath, it was refolved, in 
confequence of the advantage attending vac- 
Cination in the metropolis, to eftablifh a fo- 
ciety for the purpofe of extending its prac- 
tice, and for the extermination of the fmall. 
pox, in the county of Somerfet, by the name- 
of the Royal Somerfet Jennerian Society. It 
was likewife propofed to requeft his Royal 
Highnefs the Duke of York to honour the 
fociety with his name and fupport as a pa-

A manufaéturer, in the neighbourhood of 
Bath, is faid to have made, from fifteen 
fleeces of Mr. Bartley’s croffes with a Spanith 
ram, thirty-three yards and a half of fuper- 
fine blue unftrained broad cloth. The qua- 
lity of it is fuch, that though the wool was 
unforted, fome principal clothiers have de- 
clared, they never faw a finer fample from 
the beft picked Spanith wool. A draper of- 
fered twenty-two fhillings per yard for it by 
the piece ; at this price only, and omitting 
to reckon on the two yards to which the 
piece might be ftrained, according to at 
of parliament, the profit to the wool-grower 
will be 11. 13s. 6d. per fleece, after paying 
the manufa@turer feven fhillings per yard for 
his ikill and labour. The cloth is to be ex- 
hibited at the enfuing Bath meeting.
