Lion to the science, if it Iflei be so called, of draining.
He introduced with complete success, in draining an
imincese tract of Fen in Lincolnshire, several prifiti-
ples which had not before been reduced to practice in
that process. But the most extensive, and the latest
of his undertakings in this way, was the draining of
the great Bedford Level, in the counties of Bedford,
Norfolk and Cambridge. He gave in a plan to Go-
vernment for the great Naval Arsenal at Northileet,
near Gravesend, which was approved of and warmly
recommended by the late Lords Melville and Barham,
but in consequence of tha expence of the undertaking,
the estimate fixing it at eight millions, and on account
of the diminished power of the enemy's navy, which
the victory of Trafalgar had been the principal means
"olrbringlng about, this great project was aba
But it was not alone in the comprehensive designs of
engineering that Mr. Rennie showed remarkable abili-
PV and skill. Me was equally ingenious and eurcess.
Ail in the minute branches of mechanics, a science for
which he had always a strong partiality, and in seve-
ral departments of which he introduced many valuable
improvements. To enumerate the inventions of the
able engineer, or even the leading objects in which he
has been engaged, would compel us far to exceed the
brief space which we are enabled to devote to his me-
mory. Among the inventions, his mode of exploding
sunken rocks by the assistance of the diving bell, and
his device for measuring the force of water, will be
within the recollection of every man of science. Be-
sides the public works already mentioned, the Royal
Dockyard at Sheerness, the Breakwater at Plymouth,
and the dikes erected after the inundation (a few days
since) in Holland, will not hastily be forgotten. Many
valuable projects will probably have died with Mr.
Rennie, s nd his loss will be deeply felt by those in whose
speculations be was engaged: on the other hand, the
fortune and reputation to which—to his honour be it
spoken—from a station of comparative obscurity he
had rises, will animate the exertions of genius under
difficulty.

FISHER y.
G.tLWAT, OCT. 6.—We, this day, submit to our
readers a most important letter from Cornwall on the
subject of the Fishery of this Bay; and we trust and
hope, that our perseverance upon this subject may yet
he productive of some good to the community we reside
in. Already our endeavours have been productive of
much good. Two respectable master coopers, pos-
sessing some capital. are about to settle here ; and,
by the following letter it will be seen that, if lite
Fishery itt'made a free one, 40 master coopers would
not be sulkcient for the trade we may expect:—

permission to address you, not knowing any person in
Galway with whom we might correspond.
" The fishery for Pilchards upon time coasts of Corn.
wall and Devon, has been a constant source of wealth
for time last two centuries; but I regret to say, it has
entirely failed for the last four years, and a capital, in
consequence, of half a million sterling remains us

there were 21,307 more females than males

At tea o'clock the .rman, Mr. COMM. came int.,
Court, and the Grand Jury for the county of Middle-
sex having answered to their -names, they were se-
verally sworn, and the 6bsirman shortly addressed
them on the subject of the duties, which t►ey were
about to undertake. The calendar, the 44iarnej) tirn-
deans remarked, though it was rather heavy, be was
rejoiced to find, was n.it marked by crimes Oran enor-
mous nature. The table of offences would come be-
fore them in due course, and they would use their Oita
discretion as to what cases they should selee,t from it
to send for further inquiry before an ulterior tribunal.
He doubted tiot but that discretion would be wisely ex-
ercised. and be was more confident in thinking so, as
there were many of the gentlemen to whom he yeas ad-
dressing himself that be recollected to have seen on
Grand Juries more than once before. He con-
cluded by saying, that the shanks of the country
were due to them for their services.

The Graaf, Jury were then dismissed for ..the flay.

„way of passing accounts, adjourned till to tnurrow:
