_Church
by the principal inhabitants; who presented to
him
.the Petition to consecrate. The BlshOp and
his Chancellor being seated within the)Altar, and
having the proper papers presented, proceeded in
the Service in .the most audible and solemn man-
ner. Morning Prayers were then read by the

in which he introduced a becoming eulogy on the;
late Duke of Devonshire, the .Church being built

to the -gratification of the 'Congregation, which

resided in: the Nisi Prins Court, where there
were twelve causes entered for trial, one of which
only was special, vi t. the Worthern Tithe CauSe,
Smyth, clerk, v. Sambrook. The_ action was,

he Claiming the tenth cock of wheat, o4tB, &c. ac--
cording to the common law, of the land, and' the
parishioners contending that it was customary in
this parish for him Only to have the eleventh,
After theevidence had gone throitgh, the Learned
Judge commented upon the different Farts of it,
and informed the Jury, riot the onlyquestion for
their decision was, whether or not there did im-
memorially exist a custom of giving the. Rector
the eleventh instead of the tenth cock, because it
would 'remain to be decided elsewhere, whether
such
.custom Nils, in point of law, good:or bad:
'The Jury were of opinion that such custom did
exist. The point of law, therefore, appears to
be all that remains to decide this important
case. •

On Wednesday morning, as a horse-dealer arid
his servant, on their way to Britford Fair, were
riding furiously through Silver-street, Sall ,hury,
the former suddenly pulled up, whilst his horse
was on the edze of the foot pavement, to avoid a
wheelbarrow, and. at length threw the poor ani-
mal with so much force, that his skull was split
on the pavement, and be instantly expired. _ The
man was thrown on the horse's neck, which .pre-
vented hiS being very severely hurt. The horse
was worth about forty guineas, the loss Of which'
is hut a trivial punishment for the temerity of the
rider, in thus wantonly endangering his o'svillite,
and the life of all who may happen to hepassing
at the time.

Dr. Gall, -the celebrated physician, has, after
the experience of some years, ,ascertained the
curious fact, that children born deaf and dumb,
and afflicted with pulmonary complaints, recover
their health by acquiring the power of speech.
Hence it should seem that this gift is not less ne-
cessary to constitutional
_strength than to our
happiness.
A patent has been obtained for a sebure and
economical • 'node of laying.: foundations, appli-
cable to the projection of wharves and piers into
deep water. The method is to combine, above
ground or water, stone, brick, or otherartificially
composed materials, into a number of distinct
masses, or into one entire mass, which shall con.
stitute the foundation or tower part of the struc-
ture. This mass is to he placed in the required
situation, without clearing: away the water or
ground, and without the use of cassoon or dam,
and is then to be pressed down by floating over it
a. loaded vessel at the recession of the tide, with
such a degree of force as shall be deemed snfli-
cient to prevent the further injurious yielding. of
the ground, when the superstructore shall be
built up and applied to use.
