prefent vicar in the Rev. Thomas 
Cooklfon, who alfo holds a perpetual cu-- 
racy in the ike se Riana of Richmond, 
in Yorkthire. ‘The viears during the lat 
century were the Rev. Meflrs. Atkinion, 
Rycroft, Hartley, Fawcett, and the late 
Dr. Chaytor. The church is a large 
building, and has two rows of ftone pillars, 
fix in a row, plain and round. - 
The vicarage was rebuilt by the ate Dr. 
Chayt iv, and is beautitully fituated upon 
an eminence, on the weflern bank of the 
river Eden. At the extremity of the gar- 
den, the fall from the rock, which over- 
hongs the river, is perpendicular, and 
from the top of it is a profpeet of 
Hartley-ce aftlie, of the river in various 
points of view, and of the opea ccuntry 
to the eaft. 
Near to the ined and almof-adjoin- 
ing to the ea end-ot the church, is the 
fshool, which former!y was occupied by. 
the rector. The fipens bclonging to this 
school amounts to about forty pounds per 
annum, ~ The late Lord Lonflale, curing 
twenty years or upwards, withheld from 
it the aunual fum of twenty pounds, which 
had been bequeathed to it by Thomas 
Lord Wharton, its patron and founder, 
and which, it is faid, Lord Lowther in- 
tends to pay. To this {chool formerly

SIR, 
Fy MIGRATION to a2 country fo far 
4U diftant as the United States are from 
the Britifh Ifles, is a matter cf the mot 
fevious coafideration, as it generally ter- 
minates in a man’s final feparation from 
his native country, his relatives, friends, 
and acquaintance. Such is ufually the 
intention of the emigrant, and a neceflary 
previous ftep to his putting it nto execus 
tion 1s his calling in all his property, and 
confequen tly breaking up all his com- . 
merce, trade, and connections in the coun- 
try he is about to quit. Severe muft be 
the confeguence of a difappointment, if 
he finds his newly adopted country does 
not anfwer his expe&ations; nay, falls far 
fhort of that he has juli ieft. He feeis 
afhamed of his precipitancy, and begins 
to fee the found policy of that fage old 
maxim, ‘* Look betere you leap.’ If he 
returns, he wiil be fn tb}. & to the raillery 
of his acquaintance, and have the world 
to begia anew ; if he remains, the gloom 
ef dita ppoi intment will be perpetually bes 
fere his eyes, and make the furrounding 
fcenery more difmal than it reaily is, Such 
Taformatien refpeéting Emigration to North America. [ Sept. 
has been the cafe of great numbers of 
emigrants. Some few have fummoned 
the reiolution to bid defiance to. raiilery, 
and return to commence a new career ? 
others have wanted fo much fortitude of 
mind; and by-far the gréateft portion 
have waked the means ro return. To 
tranfplant a family from the Britifh Ifles 
to the United States, is attended with- 
confiderabie expence; but it requires much 
greater to convey it back again. The 
articies which the Americans export are 
mofly buiky, and require the whole room 
of the vettel, except the cabin, and that 
teo very often; fo that it is very difficult 
to get-a ps {Pee in any but a regular 
trader in paflengers, where the price is 
forty-five guineas, no heerage-paffengers 
being admitted ; but as their imports are 
much lefs bulky, almoft every veffel car- 
ries back as many as can be fiawed in the 
cabin -and fteerage, at little more than 
half the price in the former and twelve’ 
guineas each in the latter.. To a many’ 
therefore, who cannot afford to pay very 
dear for experimental knowledge, how 
neceflary and ufeful mult it be to have 
that of another man placed before his 
eyes? He may fee what may either fix 
him in his intention of emigrating from 
a confirmation of his hopes of fuccefs, or 
fave him from the mortification of a tedi- 
pan expenfive, and fruitlefs voyage. To 
uch perfons, principally, I cffer the fol- 
ee ng obfervations, which are the refule 
of fix years’ expcrience and a therough 
acquaintance with the fubjecr. 
To the ‘“idle traveller,” as Sterne calls 
him, who has more money and leifure 
than he has fenfe encugh to employ toa 
better purpofe than the gratification of 
his j iuqui ifitivenefs or curioiity, it is {carce- 
ly worth while to attend, as he can be 
confidered only as a bird of paflage. If 
the republican ftiftnefs, and almoft” repul- 
five gravity, of the Americans—their ex- 
‘treme attention to the main chance, and 
negieé&t ot the more elegant (though, as 
‘ 
they “deem them, frivolous) puriuits, 
fheuld convert him into a §* folenetic 
travelier,” be has nothing more to do 
than to crofs the Allegheny mountains, 
_viit thof immente frefh-water lakes, On- 
tario, Champlain, Erie, Superior, and 
Haren; meafure the fali of tne cataract 
of Niagara; run down the Ohio and Mit. 
fiffippi rivers, and return home. He will 
have viewed almoft- every remarkable na. 
tural curiofity in the United States. He 
will fee no relics of antiquity; no ftu- | 
pendous monuments of art, but many 
modern works of utility ; and may read, 
as he runs, the charaécter of the Nancie 
cans, who are gradually changing gloomy 
forefts
