SOMERSETSHIRE, 
It has been refolved, with the confent of 
' the lord of the manor, to eftablifh a regular 
pitched market for grain, &c. at Marfhfield, 
to be held every Tuelday. The firft mar- 
ket held in confequence of this determina- 
tion was very well attended; and from its 
central and convenient fituation, this place 
is expected to become the largeft and moft 
complete corn-market in that part of the 
country. ; 
It is propofed to ere& a caft-iron bridge, of 
magnificent conftruction, having only one 
arch about 200 feet in height, under which

bour, be one highly advantageous to the in- 
habitants of that city, and the country ad- 
jacent.

hy whom he has left one fon. He was a 
brave foldier, an upright fervant of the pub- 
lic, and a truly amiable character in all the 
relations ot lite. 
In the 9oth year of his age, after an ill- 
nefs at a few days, thé Rev. Richard Graves, 
rector of Claverton, near Bath, who firft bee 
came known to the public as the intimate 
friend and corretpondent of the poet Shen- 
ftone, and has fince attraéted confiderable 
notice as the author of many amufing pub- 
lications. Mr. Graves was a younger ion of 
the late Richard Graves, efg. of Mickleton, 
in Gloucefterfhire, where be was born in 
the year 1715. His father, who was efteem- 
ed a very learned man, and was particu- 
Jarly well fhilled in the Britith and Roman 
antiquities, died in the year 1729. His fon 
Richard received the rudiments of his edu- 
cation under the Rev. Mr. Smith, curate of 
the parifh in which his father refided, and at 
whofe honfe he reckoned among his fchool- 
fellows, the father of Mr. Haftings, the ce- - 
lebrated governor-general of Bengal. Wh-n 
he had attained the age of thirteen, he was 
fent to a public fchool at that time eftablith- 
ed at Abingdon, in Berkthire; and three 
years afterwards, was chofen a {cholar of 
Pembroke-college, Oxtord, to which uni- 
verlity he accordingly removed. Soon 
after his arrival, he joined a party of 
who amufed themfelves in an 
evening with reading Enictetus, Theo- 
phraftus, and other Greek authors, which 
are feldom read at {chgol; till, in a fhort 
time, he became attached to Mr. Shen- 
ftone and Mr. Anthony Whittler, who 
uled to meet to read poetry, plays, Speéta- 
tors and Tatlers, and other works of ealy di- 
geftion. In 1756 he was elected a fellow of 
All Souls, where he acquired the particular 
intimacy-of Sir William Blackitone. Inftead 
of purtuing the ftudy of divinity, according 
to his original intention, Mr. Graves now 
conceived the idea of devoting his attention 
to phyfic, and preparatory to that ftudy, 
he attended in London two courles on ana- 
tomy, by Ur. Nichols. A fevere illnefs, 
however, caufed him to relinquifh bis me- 
dical purfuits, and to refume the ftudy of 
divinity, and in 1740 he took orders. 
About this time he removed with Mr. Fitz- 
herbert to the eftate of that gentieman at 
‘Lillington, in Derbythire, where he remain- 
ed three years enjoying in his houfe the 
higheft pleafures of fociety. At the end of 
that period, he fet off to make the tour of 
the north, and while at Scarborough; geci- 
deutaliy met with a dittant relation, Dr.
