Account of Rev. Dr. Zouch, Hon. Arch. Fraser, &c.

which design was set aside in favour of the present bishop of Bristol. The same minister, however, gave him the second prehend in the cathedral of Durham, in 1805, and in that year he took the degree of D.D. In 1898, Dr. Zouch afforded such an example of moderation as, in these times, is by no means common, in declining, on account of his advanced age and bodily infirmities, the offer of the see of Carlisle. The literary career of Dr. Zouch commenced in 1765, with the printing of a Seatonian prize poem, On the Crucifixion. Besides some anonymous publications and detached sermons, he was the author of: "An Inquiry into the Prophetic Character of the Romans, as described in Daniel viii. 23-25." svo. 1792: The Good Schoolmaster Exem plified, in the Character of the Rev. John Clarke, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and successively Master of the schools of Skipton, Beverley, and Wakefield," 8vo. 1798:-"An Attempt to illustrate some of the Prophecies of the Old and New Testament," 12mo. 1800:-"Memoir of the Life and Writings of Sir Philip Sidney," 4to. 1808 :-" Memoir of the Life of John Sudbury, D.D. Dean of Durham," 4to. 1808. In 1795, he reprinted, with notes and a preface, a tract by Izaak Walton,

[Feb. 1,

under the title of "Love and Truth ;" and the year after, the Lives of Donne, Hooker, Herbert, and Sanderson, by the same, with notes and a life of the author. Two poetical pieces by this divine are included in a volume of "Odes on Peace and War, written by many eminent and distinguished persons," pablished in 1795.

On the 8th December, 1815, at his seat, Beaufort Castle, in the Aird, near Inverness, in the soth year of his age, the Hon. ARCHIBALD FRASER, of Lovat, colonel commandant of the fist regiment of Inverness-shire Local Militia, sunetime British consul at Algiers, and afterwards member of parliament for the county of Inverness. He was married to Jane, only sister of Sir William Fraser, bart. late of Ray Lodge, in the county of E-sex, by whom he had five sons, all of whom predeceased himself. His eldest son, who possessed distinguished abilities, sat in the first imperial parliament of the United Kingdom; he was also colonel of the Fraser fencibles for many years, and went with them on service to Ireland, where he fell into a consumption from fatigue, and died at Lisbon, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, in April, 1803. The disconsolate widow and mother still survives to lament the loss of all her family.

This county in common with the whole of the north of England, and the greater part of the south of Scotland suffered se verely from floods occasioned by rapid thaw attended with violent rain on the 29th and 30th December. The rivers Eden, Caldew, Peterill, Line, Irthing, and others, overflowed their banks, inundating whole districts, sweeping away cattle and compelling the inhabitants to take refuge in the upper apartments of their houses. The Eden rose to a greater height than it has been known for upwards of 40 years past. The new bridges at Carlisle erected at an expense of 150,000l. have received so much in jury from the flood that one of them it is feared must be rebuilt. That over the Caldew is so much shaken that it must be taken down. Botcherby bridge also over the Peterill has sustained considerable damage. The swell in the Irthing exceeded the memorable flood of 1771 at the time of the irruption of Solway Moss. Part of Irthing bridge was carried away. At Gilsland, the wooden bridge, newly erected bathing houses and quay were likewise swept off by the torrent.

The Carlisle Library, founded in 1768, numbers at present 165 subscribers, and from the spirited manner in which it has been supported, it has now to boast an excellent collection of works in every department of literature and science. Its receipts in the past year amounted to 1441. 12s.

DEVONSHIRE,

We notice with pleasure the spirited manner in which the inhabitants of Plymouth are proceeding, by means of institutions and improvements equally useful and honourable, to give that town a solid consequence and prosperity. At a meeting held there on the 26th of December, it was resolved that a Provident Institution and Savings Bank should be established. A plan has been circulated for raising a fund for an annual Exkibition of Paintings, and for the foundation of a School of the Arts. For this purpose it is proposed to raise 2,000l. in shares of 251. each. The stimulus recently given to the commerce of this port, continues to operate with the best effect. Mr. Blewett, in his last Commercial Report for last year, inserted in the Plymouth Chronicle, informs us, that two ships of 380 tons burden, are equipping for the Southern Whale Fishery, and that, in 1815, from 20 to 30 vessels have been built in this port, and added to the list of Plymouth shipping.

A Gas Light Company has been established at Exeter. The plan of lighting part of the city has been carried into execution by Messrs. Phillips and Golsworthy, and it is calculated that a capital of 12,000l. which it is proposed to raise in 240 shares, will be fully adequate to the completion of the design.

In turning over the provincial papers, it is truly lamentable to observe the numerous fatal accidents which are incessantly occurring all over the kingdom, from the pertinacity with which game is defended on the one hand and stolen on the other. In some places indeed the rencounters between the parties almost assume the character of formal engagements. Thus, on the morning of Jan. 19, the game-keepers and assistants of the manors of Lord Ducie, Miss Langley, and Colonel Berkeley, to the number of 30, divided into three parties, were attacked in a preserve, called Hillswood, near Berkeley, by a gang of poachers, supposed to amount to about 20, all armed, when William Ingram, a servant of Colonel Berkeley's, was killed on the spot, and several others wounded. Search is making for the murderers. Birth.] At Woodchester Park, Lady Ducie, of a daughter. Married.] Wilkins, to Miss Pride.
