It had 15 monastic institutions, 24 public charities; it has 5 parishes with no church; 2 parishes containing less than a hundred people; 35 parishes with no parsonage-house; 31 parishes, in which the parsonage-house is unfit to live in.

pulation, 58,473; the number of able labourers, 29,236, and the number of acres of land to each able labourer is 28. Cornwall is in the PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY, and in the DIOCESE OF EXETER. The general appearance of the county, to those who travel the high roads through it, is far from being handsome, owing to the barrenness of a considerable part of it; a ridge of barren hills extends from one end of the county to the other, supporting nothing but a wretched breed of sheep and some goats; yet the valleys are beautiful and very productive in corn, pasture, and (away from the sea-shore) of wood also; and in the eastern parts of the county, of apples. The air is humid, but celebrated for its mildness and salubriousness, and the inhabitants are famous for longevity. It abounds in bays all along an extensive line of southern coast, and here innumerable families gain their livelihood in the pilchard and other fisheries; the pilchard fishery alone being said to produce not a less sum annually than 50,000l. But the most important produce of this county is its copper, tin, and lead of all these metals there are extensive mines, chiefly in the neighbourhood of St. Austel, and from that to the LandsEnd. In the year 1810, the coppermines alone are said to have produced 76,284 tons, worth 769,903l. 17s. 6d., at 101. 2s. per ton; and they support a population of 60,000 persons. The affairs of these mines are regulated by a code, called the Stannary Laws; and these laws are under the administration of a lordwarden, a vice-warden, and 24 gentlemen tinners, whose acts have the same force as an Act of the Parliament itself. The ore is compelled to be carried every quarter of a year to one of the towns of Launceston, Lostwithiel, Truro, Helstone, or Penzance, which are called the Stannary towns, there to be made up into blocks of from 200 to 300 weight each, and stamped with the Duchy arms before it can be sold. The soil of Cornwall is very various; but a great deal of it consists of black mould, mixed with small gravel, and a slaty soil. In agriculture, the Cornish people have never been famous. They used to let their pasture-land to the Devonshire graziers, and attend chiefly to the tin and coppermines; and now they farm their land in alternate crops of corn and pasture, the former till it will bear no more, and then the latter, by way of giving it rest. The Scilly Islands, about 30 miles from

the Land's-End, are generally mentioned with Cornwall, because they, by their situation, belong more to that county than to any other part of England. The whole number of them is upwards of 140, counting every disjointed rock; but there are 27 islands more or less habitable, and of these St. Mary's is the principal; that being 24 miles long, and nine or ten miles in circumference. The population of the whole is estimated at 2,358. They are under the spiritual di rection of the Bishop of Exeter; governed by a governor who dispenses the criminal law, and by 12 of the principal inhabitants, who meet monthly at Heugh-Town, St. Mary's, to compromise civil disputes; and the authority of these latter is wholly customary. The islands are let under lease from the crown, to the Duke of Leeds, at 401. rent a year, for 31 years, from 1800. It is supposed, that these islands were much larger in extent formerly, as the Roman writers mention them as "the ten tin islands." They produce corn in small quantity, small cattle, rabbits, and plenty of wild and domestic fowl, and a good deal of kelp is gathered from the shores of all the islands. A bare and uninhabited rock, called the Scilly, gives the name to this cluster of islands. ADVENT, 2 miles N. from Camelford. Popula. 229.
