Died.] At Carlisle, the Rev. Mr. Kyle. 
He was found drowned in the river Eden, in- 
to which, it appears, that he threw himself, 
in consequence of the embarrassed state of 
his affairs. He was a native of North Britain: 
‘his father was minister at Kinross, (in con- 
nexion with the Burghers,) at which place 
Mr. K. was born. While at College he dis: 
played a ready and comprehensive judgment, 
-and went through the wsual branches of Na- 
tural and Moral Philosophy with no less 
credit to himself than honor to his tutors. 
After finishing his studies at Glasgow, he at- 
tended the Divinity-Hall at Selkirk, where 
he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the 
Professor. After a trial of his abilities, he 
was licensed to preach in the same connec- 
tion with his father, and in a short time ob- 
tained an unanimous call to a congregation 
at Carntulloch, and was ordained over them 
oas their minister. After continuing there 
nearly five years, owing to some particular 
circumstances he was released ‘from his 
tharge, and had appointments to preach in 
vacant congregations. In the year 1799 he 
came into Cumberland, to preach at. Carlisle 
and Penrith, at which places were two con- 
gregations under the inspection of ‘the 
Burghers. At the former he was preach- 
ing when the Church assembling in the 
Old Dissenting Meeting-house, Picker: street, 
‘Carlisle, gave ‘Dita a call to be colleague with 
the Rev. Mr. Miln, and'to be his successor. 
Mr. Kyle, as a preacher, stood high in the 
esteem of many. His abilities in elucidating 
theology were of the first rate: his senti- 
ments were those denominated Evangelical.

The great tunnel through the lofty hill 
called Stanedge, over which the high road 
passes from Huddersfield to Manchester, and 
which: forms one of the great chain of hills 
that separates the counties of York and Lan- 
caster, is at length completed. It is several 
years since this great work of human labour 
and ingenuity (which forms the third line of 
water communication, by which these twe 
great manufacturing counties are. now con- 
nected) was begun: it has been more than 
once arrested in its progress, and indeed al- 
most abandoned, partly from pecuniary ex- 
haustion, and partly from the great difficulty 
of the undertaking, arrising “from! the exe 
traordinary depth of the tunnel beneath the 
surface, the great quantity of water which 
required to be drawn off, and the looseness of 
some part of the strata through which it pass+ 
ed. Itis, in truth, a stupendous work. 
On Friday, wane 30th, being the day ape 
pointed for the opening of the New Dock, at 
Hull, for the reception of shipping, the 
motte was ushered in with a merry peal 
from the bells of the churches; flags were 
hoisted upon the steeple, and the different 
ships in the Roads, the Old Dock, and the 
Harbour weré gaily decorated with colours. 
At half-past six o’clock, the members of the 
corporation of Hull, the Trinity-house, and 
Dock Company, assembled at the Dack-office, 
and at a quarter pdst seven, set out in grand 
procession to the Entrance Basin, where the 
ship Effort, belonging to Mr. H. Brown, one 
of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity-house, 
was lying, armed with cannon, decorated 
with a variety of colours, and her yards mane 
ned by the scholars educated at the Marine 
School, established by the Trinity-house, in 
their naval uniforms. At eight o’clock the 
Effort entered the Dock, amidst the acclamae 
tiens of an inmense concourse of spectators, 
and immediately fired a royal salute, which 
was returned by another from twenty-one 
pieces of cannon, placed in the front of the 
Entrance Basin; the music playing ** Rule 
Britannia,” and closing with ‘* God save the 
King.”? The Effort, in the evening, was 
moored in the middle of the Dock, and il- 
luminated by 180 lamps, being the numbet 
of shares in the undertaking for making the 
Docks at that port. 
The late quarterly meeting of the Holder- 
ness Agricultural Society, held at Hedon, 
was dimiecousty attended. The question 
for the Society’s consideration was, ** In 
the breaking up of grass land, is paring and 
burning always, or under what circumstances 
the best process; and when that process is 
adopted, what is the best method, and what 
the most proper time, of executing it? What 
is the best succeeding crop, and what in Be- 
 neral are the particular advantages resulling
