A rival to the American child, celebrated for his aritmetical calculations, has started in this county, in the person of George Bidder, a native of Moreton hampstead now aged seven years and eleven months. He is advertised as possessing the extraordinary faculty of solving the most difficult questions, as to figures, by the mere operation of the mind, and the learned and curious are invited to visit him at the guildhall, Plymouth. He is thus described: This is a most extraordinary boy: he has had no education, and does not know how to make a figure. His talent was not discovered till last winter, in a blacksmith's shop. A man had killed a pig, and was curious to know exactly its value, at a given rate per pound. The boy soon after mentioned what it would come to. He was treated as a meddling child, and asked, with anger, how he could know any thing about it? "Why," said the boy in reply, "there are so many ounces in the weight of the pig, and it is worth just so many farthings!" Among other questions which have been put to him, are the following:-"I have walked two miles this morning, in order to see you; how many inches have I walked?" He gave a true answer instantly." I am 56 years old; how many minutes have I lived?" His answer given instantly was right." How many farthings are there in two hundred guineas, fourteen shillings, and fourpence threefarthings?" In less than half a minute he gave the true amount.-Various questions, in all sorts of calculations, have been put to him, and he has been detected in a mistake only once. The boy has quite a childish and even stupid appearance, and is always playing with a nut, or a piece of wood, or a person's watch-chain, and does not seem to pay any attention to what he is about. A society in aid of the British and Foreign Bible Society has been formed at Axminster. The Unitarians have established a society, with a view to the propagation of their religious opinions, to be called the Devon and Cornwall Association and Tract Society, which is to meet twice a year, at the places within the two counties where are Unitarian societies. The names of upwards of 130 persons were given in as subscribers and benefactors. Preferred.] The Rev. R. S. Hallett to the vicarage of Axmouth. Married] A: Woodbury, Thos.

At the house of his friend Dr. Browne, John Hallinan, esq. M.D. lately of Rathkeale, Ireland. As an eminent physician, his practice was respectable; as a man of learning, his society was cousted by every person of distinction; as a sincere friend, his numerous acquaintance will long remember him with esteem; and as a charitable humane man, the poor will have cause to deplore most deeply the loss of a kind and benevolent benefactor. His talents as a scholar were not confined to his profession : he studiously improved an early taste for poetry and belles letters, and his fugitive pieces evinced genius and benevolence: his style was classic, and breathed the best feelings of the heart. His essays, it is said, will be shortly published under the patronage of a friend. At Tavistock, Mrs. Prout, wife of Mr. P. of the King's Arms. At Stoke Rivers, Mrs. Parminter, 89. DORSET.

The accomplishment of this undertaking is of the highest national importance, in a political as well as mercantile ¿point of view, and will, we trust, be found to merit the serious attention and support of his Majesty's government. 1814.] Durham-Essex-Gloucester -Hampshire.
