A very fplendid meteor was feen by Mr. CAPEL LOFFT, at Trofton, and by other, perfons in Suffolk and Norfolk, on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 35 minutes past eight in the evening. It was as large and much brighter than the full moon, of an exceedingly fplendid gold colour, and round, except to the weft, where it was of a strong red, drawing off to purple, and its edge ill defined, and rather unequal. It was, when feen by Mr. Lofft, about 12 or 15° high, and in the meridian, tending to the horizon nearly at a right angle. In about 3 or 4 feconds it difappeared as if finking behind the clouds. Near Norwich, and in Kent, it was obferved to throw out red fparks, or globules, and to be perfectly white. We fhould be much gratified by receiving accounts from other perfons who faw this meteor at a distance from Trofton. ་ Married.] At Bury, Mr. Teague, to Mifs L. Paine.

Davidfon. and especially of the ingenious youthful reader, will, perhaps, be confulted by an infertion of the following memoir. Mr. Wiche was native of Taunton in Somersetshire; and had the happiness of being defcended from exemplary, though not affluent, parents. His father, originally a wool-comber of that town, was much diftinguished among his neighbours, as his memory is ftill greatly refpected, for the purity of his manners, the habitual firmnefs and integrity of his conduct, his unfeigned piety, his free and liberal researches after religious truth, and the labour which, in a fituation unfavour able to fuch an object, he had fuccefsfully bestowed upon the cultivation of his mind. Of the elder Mr. Wiche, the late Rev. J. Wiche, the correfpondent and friend of Lardner, and the editor of some pofthumous difcourfes, by that venerable man, on the doctrine of the Trinity*, was a brother; and the talents, attainments, fpirit, and character of the uncle, were always mentioned by the nephew, in terms of the highest efteem, and the moft cordial affection. After Mr. G. Wiche had received his grammar learning, at Taunton, from the Rev. Dr. Toulmin, he began his academical ftudies at Hoxton, in the year 1783, being patronized by the trustees of Mr. Coward's will; and, on the diffolution of that feminary, in 1786, he removed, under the fame patronage, to Daventry, where he completed his term of preparation for the office of a religious teacher amongst the Proteftant Diffenters. There the writer had the honour of forming an acquaintance with Mr. Wiche; nor can he remember, without gratitude, the opportunities thus afforded him of witneffing and admiring the truly philofophic and Chriftian temper, the enlarged views, the gentle manners, and the fteadiness and confiftency of deportment by which the companion of his walks and ftudies was even then characterized. In 1788, Mr. Wiche became a refident in or near Monton, a village at a smali diftance from Manchester, having a few months before, accepted an invitation from a diffenting fociety in the former place, to officiate as their minifter. To the duties devolving upon him in this capacity, he gave the most cheerful, regular, and diligent attention; they were ably and faithfully discharged; and it is but juftice to add, refpectfully and gratefully received. He lived amongit his hearers in habits of affectionate and friendly intercourse, on terms of mutual esteem, and with uninterrupted harmony. It was a peculiar fatisfaction to him, that, during the greater part of his continuance in Lancashire, he was the neighbour of two gentlemen in the fame profeffion with himself, who had been his *They were firft published in 1784, under the title, "Two Schemes of a Trinity confidered, and the divine Unity afferted. fellow ftudents, with one of whom he had kindness kindness of a gentleman who makes no paufe in his labours of love," and whofe difinterefted friendship, enlightened zeal, and active benevolence, cannot be exceeded, he was appointed to fuperintend one department of the trade of the Meffrs. Parker, in Fleet-ftreet. Here his bufinefs was chiefly to regulate the delivery of phials to the chemists and apothecaries, to go out for orders, and to receive and account for money paid. Whilft he was engaged in this office of truft, the filversmith with whom he had first lived fought after him, upon the removal of his head clerk; and thus bore the most unambiguous teftimony to Mr.Wiche's faithfulness and attention at that early period. In the mean time, the friends of Mr. Wiche, eager to co-operate with him in his endeavours after an honourable independence, continued their inquiries and exertions on his account. To thofe inquiries and exertions it was owing, that about the beginning of the prefent year, he was invited to go 'to New York, as agent to a mercantile houfe in Manchefter, Accepting the invitation, he quitted England, accordingly, in March. But, whatever were his hopes of happiness in, the difcharge of his commiffion, they seem to have been foon and entirely relinquished. When he reached the place of his deftination, he faw, he abhorred, and inftantlyrefused to encourage the commercial fpirit and practices of the merchants in that part of the United States. He now haftened to join his beloved friend, Mr. Toulmin, in the distant province of Kentucky. After an interview with fuch a friend," he wrote, "My foul hungers and thirsts" with him it was his intention to concert, and probably to purfue, a plan of private education. But it pleafed the Supreme Difpofer of all Events to deny him the fulfillment of his eager wish. The yellow fever was raging in Philadelphia: in his way through that city, Mr. Wiche took the infection, and after an illness of two days, fell a victim to the diforder; leaving a widowed mother to bewail, with poignant regret, though to bear with pious refignation, the lofs of an only and most exemplary fon. Even from this imperfect sketch of Mr. Wiche's life, the reader may in fome degree infer, what were the prominent features of his intellectual and moral character, as well as his leading opinions of men and things. Yet for the farther illuftration of them, it may be useful to add a few obfervations, which could not properly be interwoven with the narrative. Mr. Wiche poffeffed a delicate perception of fimplicity and beauty, both in writing, and in the production of what are ufually denominated the fine arts. Indeed, a taste of this nature, extending alfo to the regulation of his own conduct, and to his judgment upon that of others, was, perhaps, the moft confpicuous quality in his mental frame. He had been much in habits of reading. Theology, morals, history, biography, had each occupied a confiderable share of his attention; was |
