GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

The culture of a very useful vegetable, altogether unknown in England till within thefe two years, is at length brought to perfection in and near Briftol. This is the Anjou cabbage, perhaps the most profitable and ufeful leguminous plant that can be raised. The feed was fupplied by a French emigrant. It is fo tender that it is dreffed in three or four minutes boiling. It is an excellent food for cattle, which feed upon it geed ly; and it has the valuable property of occafioning cows to yield abundance of milk, at the fame time preferving them from declining in flesh. In rapidity of growth, its great bulk, and the little culture it requires, this cabbage exceeds all other of the Braffica fpecies. The ftalk, which is commonly as thick as a man's leg, is uted, when dry, as fuel; and it was a common faying at Anjou, of which part of France it is a native, that every cabbage was worth, (before the late alteration in the value of money) five fols (two pence halfpenny) each. Though the plant is at the prefent day fcarcely known at Paris, yet at Anjou, Poitou, and Britany, particularly in the former province, the farmers are bound by their leases to plant a certain number of them, in proportion to the extent of land they occupy, and to leave a certain number ftanding when they quit their farms.

At his houfe in the Lower Green, Bristol, the rév. James Brown, precentor of Bristol cathedral, and lecturer of St. Nicholas. The partiality of furviving relatives often tempts them to exaggerate the merits of their deceafed friends; but in the prefent inftance there is no room for exaggeration. As a man he was fcrupulously juft, and his heart overflowed with the milk of human kindness towards his fellow-creatures. As a minifter of the gospel, his talents and abilities were fully adequate to the task he undertook, his natural genius being cultivated by an excellent education, and the most ftudious exertions. Religion in him was exemplified, not by gloomy morofenefs, or fuperftitious bi gotry, but by a cheerful devotion, and animated piety. He practifed faithfully the doctrines he laboured to inculcate, and preached the gospel of his great Mafter in its primitive purity. His powers and abilities are too well known to ftand in need of comment. As a companion he was cheerful and affable, of the most unaffected deportment, and the most conciliating manners. In his domeftic circle he was a dutiful fon, a fond husband, a faithful friend, and a kind mafter. No man will die more, few fo much respected and regretted; and his friends have to lament his early deeeafe in the prime of life, when his talents promifed to be of the greatest utility to his fellow-creatures.
