a private ftation have had a jufter claim to commemoration than the fubject of this ar ticle. Placed, at an early age, in a fituation in which he thought it his duty to labour with his hands, Mr. Godman actually did labour, while health and ftrength lafted, with as much affiduity as if his fubfiftence had depended on his industry; at the fame time his perfonal expences and indulgencies were extremely fmall. In thefe exertions, and thefe privations, and in the exercife of a lucrative bufinefs, it might be fuppofed that the accumulation of wealth was his object, and that he fucceeded in attaining it; the reverfe of this was the fact. The object of his more generous aim was, that by fo labouring he might fupport the weak. Never forgotten or unheeded by him were the words of the Lord Jefus, when he faid, "it is more bleffed to give than to receive." His benefactions were most extenfive. He willingly fuffered no object of compaffion to leave his gate unrelieved. By his bounty and his credit he aflisted a very numerous defcription of perfons who were far above a ftate of mendicity. He exercifed an hofpitality, plain, indeed, and unoftentatious, but of the most liberal kind. His indulgence and generofity to his younger relatives, can never be effaced from their remembrance. To fay that in all his dealings he preferved the ftrictest integrity, is faying very little he never fought his own advan tage, but always that of his neighbour, and often that of perfons whofe finifter intentions the fingleness of his own heart did not permit him to fufpect. As his early education was by no means neglected, fo throughout life he took great pleasure in cultivating his mind, and acquiring every kind of knowledge that was within his reach. His curiofity was always active. The principal facts in hiftory, remark

A: Seaford, B Quarterly, efq. a lieutenant able productions of nature or art, and extraordiin the South Hants militia.

At Cuckfield, Mr. W. Coppard, farmer. Mr. Cleaver, painter, of Rottingdean. Returning home from Brighton, where he had been keeping his holidays, he inadvertently miffed the foot track, near Black Rock, and was precipitated down the cliff, a perpendicular height of 54 feet, where he lay from Tuesday night till Thursday morning, when he was found by the Rev. Mr. Woodward, alive, and without any broken bones, but with his eyes clofed, and a stone fo hard clenched in one hand, that it was not extricated with out great difficulty; his temple exhibited a bruife, and he laboured under the total lofs of his fpeech and fenfes. Hopes were, however, for fome time entertained of his recovery, having been removed back to Brighton, and placed under medical care: This young man languished until the Thurfday following, and then expired.

At Southover, Mrs. Smith, an elderly widow lady.

At Stockport, near Chichefter, in his 86th year, Mr. Jofeph Godman. Few perfons in

nary narratives of travellers and adventurers, were to him never-failing fources of amufement, and objects of interest. His religious and political principles were, in all points, fuitable to the rest of his character. He abhorred intolerance, oppreffion, and injuftice, of every kind. He was the genuine difciple of a fchool which is now nearly extinct, and of which, except in the record of history, the remembrance will foon be loft. He was an Old Whig, a Diffenter, and a Unitarian; and perhaps it is not faying too much to affirm, that the influence of his character contributed, in his neighbourhood, to leffen the unpopularity generally attached to his opini. ens.

His fenfes and faculties continued almoft unimpaired to nearly the end of life. From his undeviating temperance, from his conicioufnefs of poffeting and meriting the love of all good men, and from never having had his fpirits worn by the anxieties incident to felfish purfuits, he maintained amid much bodily infirmity, and almoft to his latest hour, a cheerfulness, and even a boyish sportiveness of mind and temper of which there

are

are few examples. His difmiffal from the world was the eafieft poffible: he feemed merely to cease to breathe. Thus was his death, in all respects, the death of the righteous; and confonant to his tranquil, blameless, and beneficent life.

He poffeffed many virtues tender and affectionate towards his family; faithful and fincere to his friends; benevolent and generous to the poor, he was univerfally respected and admired. To the extenfive qualifications requifite to form the Joldier, he added the elegant manners of a gentleman; and his politeness, and hofpitality (in which he was excelled by few) had fo endeared him to a large circle of friends, and acquaintance, that his death will be long and justly lamented by the whole neighbourhood in which he lived, and to which he proved a valuable acquifition, and by fociety, of which he was an active and well principled member.

He has left iffue one fon, Nat. Atchefon, efq. F.A.S. PR.I.

At Boldre, near Lymington, the Rev. William Gilpin, prebendary of Salisbury, vicar of Boldre, in the New-foreft, and well known for his various publications (among which his Lectures on the Church Catechifm poffefs infinite merit, and are much efteemed) at the advanced age of 80 years. His life was most exemplary and few men have left behind them a higher character for wisdom, piety, and virtue.

An experiment was lately tried at Llanally, by Mr. Henry Virian, engineer to Mr. Trevethick's patent-engines, by working the mine with stone coal, which promifes an im portant acquifition to the proprietors of thole works, hitherto unexpected. It appears that the experiment has beer unfuccessfully attempted under boilers conftructed in the ordinary way. The engine performed its opera tion for fix hours, with all imaginable accuracy; only confuming Icwt 3qs. of coal, during that time, and executing the ufual duty of four horfes. Neither does the fire require to be difturbed, in order to maintain its quantum of heat, as is found neceffary in the ufe of the coal.
