Although Mrs. Jane North might be said not to have enjoyed a perfect day of health for the last ten years, yet her intellectual attainments were unabated; her general reading was very extensive; and her compositions were correct. In his 67th year, James Wyatt, esq. R.A. surveyor general to the Board of Works, architect to the King and Regent, and late president of the Royal Academy. Mr. Wyatt met his death in the following unhappy manner :-Christopher Codrington, esq. of Dodington-house, left his mansion in his chariot and four, accompanied by Mr. W. on their way to London. About two miles on the east of Marlborough, the chariot was met by a post-chaise, and a man on horseback riding by the side of the chaise: in passing, the person on horseback being stationed between the carriages, his horse became restive, and was thrown down, and in struggling it overturned the chariot, by which accident Mr. Wyatt was killed on the spot. The body was conveyed to the Castle Inn, Marlborough, where an inquest was taken, which returned a verdict of accidental death. But for this catastrophe, Mr. Wyatt promised, as far as regarded his constitution, his general good health, his habitual activity, temperance, and good spirits, to live to extreme old age. The public employments he has held for twenty years, and the numerous works in which he 2 M has has been engaged, having rendered him a conspicuous character in his day, some ac count of him will be interesting. He was the youngest of six sons of Mr. Benjamin Wyatt, a respectable farmer and dealer in timber, at Black brook, in Staffordshire, and received an ordinary education at a country school in that neighbourhood. At sixteen, he accompanied the family of the Earl of Northampton to Italy, who retired to that country after the destructive contest for Northamptonshire, which ruined two noble families. Attracted by the works of art, which cover that fine country, and enabled by the cheapness of instruction to indulge a passion for draw ing, which the remains of antiquity and the beauties of the country inspired, young Wyatt made considerable proficiency in architectural drawing. On his return to London, in five or six years, he found one of his brothers, the late Mr. John Wyatt, settled as a surgeon in Newportstreet, a zealous promoter of the scheme of the Pantheon in Oxford-street, and one of the committee of proprietors for erecting the proposed building. A younger brother, without profession, but with a port-folio filled with exquisite drawings, with a passion for the study, and an aptitude for the pursuit of architecture, induced him to recommend a design of his brother's to the committee, and his brother himself, as the architect of the concern! The design was approved, the draughtsman became at once a practical architect, and the result was the erection of the PANTHEON, after the best models of antiquity, long esteemed the most tasteful and graceful structure that had ever adorned the soil of Britain. The universal admiration bestowed on his work determined the future pursuits, and fixed the fortune of the young architect. He was immediately courted in all the circles devoted to art in the metropolis, and sought by the various diletanti noblemen of the age. The Dukes of Northumberland, Richmond, and others of the nobility, as well as many opulent commoners, eagerly employed him to build or improve their country seats, and he at once ac quired fame and fortune. His only competitor at that time was Sir William Chambers, who was in the decline of life, and who having long enjoyed a monopoly of the lucrative part of the profession, promoted, instead of impeding the success of the architect of the Pantheon. The death of Sir Williain in 1796, afforded various openings to the ambition of Wyatt; and among other vacancies, was the important one of surveyor general to the Board of Works. It is said that on this occasion the Prince of Wales, who had complmented him on several of his designs, and frequently consulted him, unsolicited es poused his interest, and told his royal father, that he had a gentleman to recommend to his patronage for that of fice-"It's of no use,” said the King; “I have promised it to one whom I am myself desirous of serving-but pray who is your favourite architect?" "I had intended to name Mr. WYATT," (rejoined his Royal Highness) “but shall endeavour to serve him in some other way, since this appointment is made in favour of another.” The King, smiling, exclaimed, “Make yourself easy then; Mr. Wyatt is the very person on whom I have bestowed the office." On conferring it, the King said, "I give it to you because you are the most proper person, and because you did not ask for it." Thus favoured by talent, and preferred by the unanimous voice of rank and power, it is not to be wondered that Mr. Wyatt has, for above thirty years, been one of the most celebrated architects since the days of Sir C. Wren. It is impossible to name the innumerable works in which he has been engaged. The beautiful improvements at Windsor, the palace at Kew, the renovation of Henry the Seventh's chapel, the improvements at Westminster, various buildings and improvements at both Universities, Mr. Beckford's seat and Abbey at Fonthill, and Salisbury Cathedral, have been the works of his taste. Yet amidst such a multiplicity of employment, he was always the man of genius, and never the man of business. It was impossible to fix him to an hour or a day, and he usually failed in his appointments even with the highest of his patrons. Nor did he often labour at his designs; they were the thought of a moment, and struck out at table in the presence of company, or in a travelling carriage. Above all men of his time, he verified the adage of William of Wickham, that “ manners make the man,” for in manners he was truly irresistible, and he was as much indebted to them as to his genius for his distinction in life. When, on account of some forgotten differences in the academy, the illustrious WEST retired from its chair, Mr. Wyatt was fixed on as the temporary president, in the hope that the common affection which both parties feit towards him, might heal the feuds which among men of genius are usually so rancorous and deadly. The expedient succeeded, and in a short time' Mr. Wyatt retired from the chair, in favour of Mr. West, whose pretensions for that distinguished station were so much more legiti mate than his own. Mr. Wyatt martied a Miss Lunn, niece of a medical gentleman, who survives him; and by that lady had several children, the eldest of whom is Mr. BENJAMIN WYATT, the architect of Drury Lane theatre, and who made that design at the age of forty, without having previously previously followed, and but little studied an art in which his first attempt was a master-piece. May the future career of the son, be as similar to that of the father, as was their outset in the profession! All Mr. Wyatt's brothers arrived at eminence in different lines, and one of them, Samuel, was the parent builder and a principal proprietor of the famous Albion Mills, He also built the Trinity House, and some other erectious distinguished for their taste and elegance. One brother, Benjamin, still survives him, and resides at the beau tiful estate of Lime Grove, near Bangor.

Notice is given in the Leeds Mercury of new enclosures at Colton and Temple Newsam, Hunslet, Longwood and Deanhead, Hebden, Barnaldswick, Horton in Ribblesdale, Sowerby and Soyland, Barkisland, Appletreewick, Scammonden, Fountain's Earth, and Sigsworth Grange. It is stated in the same paper that the turnpike-road from Wakefield to Austerlands, let last year and produced 35501. and those from Ferrybridge to Boroughbridge for 25651. A new turnpike road is announced from the Cross Roads Inn to Hebden Bridge. The Leeds Mercury and the Rockingham of Hull, remarkable for their political discretion, were lately made the dupe of a partisan of the war faction, who landed at Flamborough Head, and who, as he travelled thence to London, swelled a skirmish of posts in Prussia, into a great victory of the Allies. Those good people, who imagine that some English interest is connected with the war, and who either never read, or have forgotten, Lord White worth's correspondence, were ridiculously deluded along the whole road. Some proceedings are expected to take place in the next Session of Parliament, to obtain an allowance of time more adequate to the business of the Northern Circuit. All the special jury causes at York, ten in number, were left untried till the next Assizes; and at Newcastle, three of the most important causes at Nisi Prius were put off for want of time till next year, in one of which, the plaintiffs were put to an expence of 20001. and in another to 5001. Nor is this the only hardship, for the questions in dispute depend on the evidence of persons, many of them 80 or 90 years of age.
