LANCASHIRE.

The town of Liverpool has for many years past been animated by more public spirit, more party zeal, and more general intelligence, than any other town of the empire, not even excepting the metropolis, which is too large to act with the con-entaneous feeling of places but a tenth or twentieth part of its size. We have been curions to determine the cause of the superior energies of Liverpool in its political as well as commercial capacity? It has a close corporation-it is the seat of powerful reVenue boards-it contains numerous tra

ders who seek fortune under the smiles of
the minister-it is subject to its full share
of the influence which attends a govern
ment expenditure of 120 or 150 millions-
and yet it contains an independant interest,
more respectable for talents, numbers, and
property, than any other town in the empire.
The cause is, we conceive, to be ascribed
primarily to the personal independance'
arising from trade in minds resolved to be
free; and secondarily, and proximately,from
the influence of example, in a succession of
able, virtuous, and enlightened men, which
it has been the good fortune of Liverpool to
rear or cherism. We are no flatterers, and
in naming individuals, who have exalted
the character of Liverpool in the esti-
mation of the whole world, our sole
purpose is to maintain an abstract position.
We have no difficulty then in referring
for the elucidation of this question to the
splendid talents and private virtues
of a Roscoe, a Currie, a Rathbone,
a Shepherd, a Crompton, a Casey,
a Rushton, a Williams, and others whom
we need not name, and who for the
last thirty years have directed or influenced
the energies of this great town. Yet, as
action and re-action are equal and reci
procal, in polities as in physics, so the colli-
sion of opinions has been very strongly
marked in this place, and we may cite as ex-
amples the existence of its two famous clubs,
the BACKBONE, or Church and King Club,
and the CONCENTRIC, or Patriotic Club.
These clubs divide the parties of this town,
and having lately held their anniversary
dinners, we have judged this a suitable
time for recording their toasts as keys to
their political feeling, as affording matter
for contemplation in the closer, and as
traits of opinions and manners worthy of
the future notice of philosophical historians,

The life of a country surgeon does not often present much matter for the pen of a biographer; but the subject of this memoir ought not to descend to the grave entirely without notice, as he was probably only prevented, by a weak constitution and precarious health, from figuring among the Clines and Coopers of the day. His origin was humble, being the son of a farmer at the little college of Coddington, near Newark; and his early prospects in life were probably bounded by that narrow circle of Country practice, to which infirmity condemned him in his latter years; but having studied under Sharp, one of the most cele

brated surgeons of his day, Ashwell attracted his notice, and with that union of discrimination and benevolence, which distinguished all the family of Sharp for several generations, was Ashwell cherished and protected by this eminent member of it. He was introduced and recommended to most of his patron's patients, visited them constantly in his carriage, and was, to all intents and purposes, designated as his favoured protegée and successor. A pulmonary complaint, however, affected him early in life, and in time obliged him to quit the air of the metropolis. He retired to Newark, where he practised his profession with reputation, and by excessive care and cantion, has numi ered considerably more than three score ye. "s.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

A splendid hotel has been built and was lately opened at Stamford.

Earl Fitzwilliam, in a late speech to the Peterborough troop of yeomanry, congiatulated them on the probability of the continent being shortly restored to its old order, in consequence of the successes of the Allies; and his lordship then alluded to the consequent decleusion in the price of corn, adding, that he should regulate his rents accordingly. This noble example must in course be imitated by other landed pro. prietors, or the farmers will be ruined, because the supply from Poland will neces sarily prevent a return of the late high prices.

Married.] Mr. George Conway, printer, to Miss Alice Ricks, both of Stamford.

The Rev. Bernard Smith, rector of Great Ponton, to Justina, second daughter of Hezekiah Brown, esq. of the Close in Lincoln, -James Atty, jun. esq. to Miss Catherine Hall, in the Close of Lincoln.-At Lincolu, Mr. Joseph Birkbeck Blundell, of Brookhouse, Lancashire, to Susauna, only danghter of Thomas Jepson, esq.

At Fleet, 59, the Rev. W. Burgess, upwards of twenty years pastor of a respectable society of general baptists. His talents as a preacher were very considerable; his public services were principally extemporaneous, which he conducted with fervency and affectionate regard for the best interests of all who attended his ministry. His moral character was without a stain, and his loss will be severely felt by his family, and the society with whom he was so closely connected.-Stamford News.

At Grainthorpe, 82, Mr.Tharrat, grazier. At Bourn, 77, Mr. John Roberts, formerly an eminent tanner

At Grantham, the Rev. Dr. Herbert. This gentleman's patronymic was Beilby, and the place of his nativity, Kingstonupon-Hull, or its immediate vicinity. No particular superiority of rank, wealth, or talents, render the commemoration of his deccase an object of great interest to the biographer, or the world at large; but neither was his passage through life entirely unaccompanied with circumstances of entertaining recollection to many individuals still remaining, though much the largest portion have preceded the Doctor to the traveller's last bourne. What originally brought the subject of this little memoir into the county of Leicester, (whether that tempung goal of many a younger brother's longing desire, a curacy) we are not informed; but we find him a permitted, if not an invited, guest at the celebrated table of John Duke of Rutland, nearly forty years ago. At the period of which we are treating, the amiable and venerable

second childhood, and was completely under the controul of a woman of masculine understanding, but deficient in judgment, and grossly deficient in delicacy of manners, After a due attendance here, our young divine was pensioned off with a living. On the decease of an elder brother some years ago, who was said to be in a state of mental incapacity, and died unmarried, the Doctor succeeded to the family estate, and assumed the name of Herbert, in compliment to some female ancestor. He married first a Miss Rastall, of Newark, a sensible woman, of a proper age, and by her had two or more children, At a good deal more than fifty, he made a second choice, in the person of a very young and charming girl, (the daughter of the Rev. William Manners, of Grantham, by the sister of Sir Thomas Whitchole,) who died in child bed of (we believe) her first child, or at least in a short time after she had given it birth.

LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLANDSHIRE.

A grand match of cricket was lately played at Loughborough, by twelve men of Nottingham, against twenty-two of Leicestershire, which was won by the first innings of the Leicestershire 67, against two innings of the Nottingham, making but 59.

Some ignorant and brutalized zealots, lately broke into the house of the printer of the Leicester Chronicle, and committed varions outrages. By the commendable activity of the magistracy they have been discovered, and will, we trust, have an opportunity of repenting during their pending voyage to Botany Bay.

Married.] At Hose, Mr. John Nall, farmer, Cotgrave, to Miss Mary Mantle.
