LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION AND LORD

BROUGHAM.

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD BROUGHAM AND VAUX, LORD MON

CHANCELLOR OF GREAT BRITAIN.

MY LORD,—I have been instructed, by the Directors of the Liver-
pool Mechanics' Institution, to transmit to you a copy, of the report,
tic., just published, by which you will see that the institution was
making rapid progress, at the date of the report ; and a great and un-
precedented increase of members has since taken place.
The Directors desire me niost respectfully to request that you would
give this book a place in your library, as a mark (the only one they have
in their power to bestow) of the deep sense of gratitude they enter-
tain for the long continued exercise of your splendid talents in the
cause of the scientific education of the people.
The Directors feel confident that it must be an enviable source of
gratification to your Lordship to find that your efforts in the cause of
education have not only been a benefit and a blessing to your own
country and its dependencies, but that spreading far and wide, seclud-
ed Spain, and despotic Russia, have felt their effects, obliging even
them to encourage the diffusion 'of knowledge, and thus increasing
the happiness of millions.
The Directors desire me to assure you that no part of his Majesty ;
dominions can take a livelier interest in your welfare, happiness, and
honour than this great town, and they ardently hope that Providence
will long spare you to be the pride and boast of your country,
I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient and very, humble servant,
JOiI-N LEYLAND, Secretary.
Liverpool Mechanics' Institution, 6th Dec., 1832.

J. LEYLAND, ESQ., MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, SLATER-STREET,

LIVERPOOL

SIR,—I have had the honour of receiving the report and proceedings
of the Liverpool Mechanics' Institution, with your obliging letter of
the 6th of December, and I am sorry that being in the country till
yesterday has prevented me from acknowledging it. I beg you to
present my respectful thanks to the Directors for the honour they have
been pleased to do me in sending this book, which I have read with
great interest. The progress which the institution was evidently mak-
ing at the date of the report (September) is truly gratifying; for it
appears that more than twice the number retiring had been added
during the last half year to the subscribers, and your letter states that
since then the progress has been great.
With the best wishes for its continued success,
I have the honour to be,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
London, Jan. 8, 1833. BROUGIIAM.

OBITUARY EXTRAORDINARY
(From the Portsmouth Herald, Sunday, Jan. 13.)

We regret to have to announce in our columns of this day, the very
sudden decease of John Sutton Shugar, Esq. Mayor of Portsmouth, a
man of unpretending merit, of tried integrity, and of the most bene-
volent disposition ; a man who, whether viewed in his capacity of a
public officer, presiding over the important interests involved in the,
jurisdiction of this Borough, or in the more retired but equally essen-
tial duties of a private gentleman, carries with him to the grave the
character of an honest man and a valuable member of society, whose
loss will long be regretted by every one to whom he was known.
These remarks are not the mere formal eulogy of the Editor, but the
sincere sentiments of one who has long keen honoured with his friend-
ship,_ and who will ever retain a grateful recollection of the many
amiable qualities of which he died possessed. Mr.. Shugar died on
Sunday morning, at his residence in the High-street, after an illness
of only a few days, in the 60th year of his age.
We have oho to record; with feelings of great regret, the decease of
George Grant, Esq., Banker, a gentleman, who has for many years
borne a cons oiciions part in the mercantile transactions of this town,
and whose conduct has obtained for him a character'which none can
purchase but by the strictest honour and integrity. Mr. Grant died at
his residence, Stamshaw, on Sunday evening, in the 69th year of his
age.

Added to the above obituary, we have also this week to record the
death of Admiral Sir Thomas Foley, G.C.B„ Rear-Admiral of the
United Kingdom, and Commander-in-Chief, at this port, which took
place on Wednesday last, after a short illness: The deceased was in
his 77th year, and his name will be handed down to posterity as that
of one of its most gallant and honourable defenders, who, after a long
and active life, spent in the public service, carries with him that re-
ward which no man can take from him—a claim to the gratitude of
his country.

Connected with the foregoing melancholy intelligence, we have to
mention the following very curious coincidence :—Sir Thomas Foley,
and Mr. George Grant, went nut in the same ship, the Prince George,
98 (and which is the present sheer hulk in this harbour), in the year
1781, to New York, the former as Lieutenant, and the latter as clerk
to Admiral Digby's Secretary. About two years after, they received
their promotions at the same time, from the same ship, Lieut. Foley
as Commander• of the Atalanta, sloop of war, (in which the pre3ent
Admiral, the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.8., was then a midship-
man), and Mr. Grant as Purser of the South Carolina, then commanded
by Captain (late Admiral Sir Alexander) Cochrane. After a period of
half a century, the deceased met in the same town; and have resided
for nearly, three years in the same street, and ultimately, we regret to
be obliged to add, died within two days of each other.

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT BuntAL-GnoL-in.--The work-
men on the Leeds and Selby rail-road, in digging the excava-
tion diverging from the London and York turnpike, through
the tunnel formed by the bridge near South Milord, have this
week opened a burial-ground, concerning which there is no
tradition. In the Doomsday survey there are four chapelries
mentioned, as belonging to Sherburn; one of these was on the
same line of. road, at the extreMity of the township, on the way
to Barkston-Ash, the foundations of which the old inhabitants
can recollect, but it is not known where the other three chapel-
ries were situated; this probably was the cemetry of one of
them. That Sherburn was 4 place of consequence, in the time
of the Saxon heptarchy, is certain from the fact that it gave
title to a bishop; for we read that Aldhelm (brother to Ina,
King of the West Saxons,) Abbot- of Malmesbury, was made
Bishop of Sherburn in the year 709; his palace was noar the
site of the present church, which is one of the finest situations
in the county, and the ground-works of which, together with the
moat, the baths, stable-yard, &c., may still be distinctly traced.
