BEDFORDSHIRE.

BERKSHIRE.

The New Church of Theale, near Reading, built and endowed by Mrs. Sheppard, is a happy employment of the early or lancet Gothic, and affords full proof that no style can be worked more easily or with better effect. Mr. E. Garbett, a young architect, son of Mr. Garbett, the surveyor of Winchester cathedral, furnished the designs. His plans were wholly composed from the best examples of the ancient architecture of the early pointed style,which admitted of a design that Mr. G. considered he should be able to complete for the sum allowed, and at the same time to imitate as closely as possible all its essential characteristics.-The exterior is built of Bath stone; the walls are from four to five feet thick; the length of the church is 80 feet, the width 28 feet, and the height at the springing of the vaulting, 37. The whole is built on an arched crypt. tached to the church is an octagonal robingroom in a corresponding style. At the west end of the church is a beautiful open porch, entirely of stone; and although the size of it is only ten feet and a half by thirteen, it contains thirty columns. It is intended to add a Campanile or bell-tower, copied from that which formerly stood at Salisbury, but which was demolished by the late Mr. Wyatt, under the unhappy notion of improving the view of the cathedral.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

A severe shock of an earthquake was felt on the 24th Nov, at Hillesden. It was preceded by a loud rumbling noise and commotion of the earth, which shook several of the houses so violently that the inmates, who had retired to rest, were awoke, and the children screamed from terror. The church only suffered: part of its battlements were shaken down, as well as other damage done.

CUMBERLAND.

At a public meeting at Whitehaven, a Committee of twelve has been appointed for receiving subscriptions and arranging other matters connected with the intended improvement of Ravenglass harbour; four gentlemen in each of the northern ports were likewise chosen for the same purpose. The survey of the harbour has commenced. Properly improved, Ravenglass will become an important asylum to the shipping belonging to the neighbouring coasts, and may be the means of saving much valuable property, and many still more valuable lives.

The new light on St. Bees Head was exhibited on the 1st Jan. 1823. There are nine reflectors.

The Canal between Carlisle and the Solway Frith is now navigable about half its length. On Christmas-day, the Menai came up to Dikesfield to discharge her cargo. The fineness of the day, and the novelty of the scene, attracted a great number of spectators from the neighbouring villages.

DORSETSHIRE.

The contemplated improvement of Bridport Harbour is abundantly supported by the increase of business. Since 1808 this increase has been considerable, and the importance of the harbour to the neighbouring county cannot be doubted. The number of vessels that entered the harbour for the ten years ending 1753 was only 240, averaging 24 per annum. In the ten years ending 1803 no less than 1247 vessels entered that port, averaging 147. Since that time the increase is still greater.

YORKSHIRE.

An improvement of considerable importance to the town of Leeds is about to take place almost immediately, by opening a communication from Commercial-strect to the West-end of the town, the premises now occupied by Mr. Simpson, in Albion-street, having been lately purchased with the view of being taken down for that purpose.

A meeting has been held at Sheffield, for the purpose of forming a Literary and Philosophical Society in that town, it was numerously and respectably attended. Mr. Montgomery, the editor of the Sheffield Iris, delivered a most eloquent address on the occasion; the Society was formed, and a number of gentlemen put down their names as members.

The establishment of a new Philosophical Society in York originated in the attention excited by the recent discovery of antediluvian remains at Kirkdale, and the regret naturally felt at the dispersion of those remains. The Society, it is understood, will not confine itself to geological re. searches, but will establish a repository for the collection and preservation of those numerous British, Roman, and Saxon remains of antiquity with which that city and vicinity abound.
