Cosgrove, Oct. 7th, 1803

Mr. BIGGIN.

The sudden death of this gentleman on Thursday morning last, has excited the lively regret of several lovers of science. Mr. Biggin was a single man, in affluent circumstances, and possessed a good estate at Cosgrove, Northamptonshire.
A considerable portion of Mr. Biggin's time was spent on the Continent, in search of scientific and useful information: before the conclusion of the last war, he commenced a tour, which enabled him to reach the capital of France, as early or more so than the many who the peace eagerly hurried to Paris, to contemplate the mental as well as the political revolution had undergone.
Mr. Biggin strenuously exerted himself to turn his scientific acquirements to account in the arts, and particularly in agriculture and tanning, which recommended him to the acquaintance of that truly noble encourager of the useful arts, the late Duke of Bedford; and a considerable part of Mr. Biggin's time was spent at Woburn Abbey, where experiments on the barks of different kinds of wood, gathered in the Spring of 1798, were made, with view determine the portions of the tanning principle they contained, and which being afterwards printed in the Philosophical Transactions, have, from novelty and utility, been copied into nearly all the chemical and philosophical works since published. Some errors in the process being afterwards detected by Mr. B. and which had caused some barks, particularly that of the poplar, to stand much higher in the tanning than they ought to do, Mr. B. commenced a new set of experiments on fresh quantities of bark, collected in the Spring of 1800, under the care of Mr. Farey, His Grace's agent, who had collected the barks for the former experiment. These latter consisted of more than one of each sort of bark collected as soon as the buds appeared, or the barks could be peeled off, and others in different periods of the foliation.
Mr. Biggin's interesting experiments at Woburn Abbey, on these latter quantities of barks, some of which extended to the natural process of tanning skins, have not been made public; but it is hoped, that among Mr. B's papers, the particulars are preserved. Several of the experiments made at his Grace's farm, were suggested by Mr. Biggin; that in particular, of having cisterns water, near the dung-tips, into which the cabbage-stalks and other of the kitchen garden were thrown, to produce a liquor, similar in some of its properties, to the water in which hemp or flax has been soaked, for watering the manure, to promote its fermentation,.

Mr. Biggin, in conjunction with men of practical experience, some years ago established a tan-yard on a large Scale at Lambeth, where by a more scientific mode of extracting the tanning principle from the bark and applying it to hides, than is generally practised, leather of as good or better quality was produced, in some months less time than usual. It was also a part of Mr. Biggin's Scherne to apply Spanish Chestnut, ash, elm, and other barks in tanning, which he did with considerable success, and enabled his Grace of Bedford and other land-owners, to vend great quantities of those articles, which had before been lost to them and the public.

Among other improvements of less note, Mr. Biggin, some years ago, invented a new sort of coffee-pot which has been ever since manufactured, and sold under the name of Coffee-Biggin

Mr B. experienced no symptoms of his approaching end, but was in perfect health and was on Monday evening, present at the performance of Edward the Black Prince, at Drury Lane Theatre.

GRAND JUNCTION CANAL. We are happy to announce the completion of nearly all the great works which were going on upon the important and extensive line of navigation. On Monday morning last, the stupendous embankment between Wolverton and Cosgrove, near Stony Stratford. was open for the use of trade. By this great work nine locks by its side, four down and five up, are avoided, and one level sheet of water is now formed, from Stoke Bruerne to some miles south of Fenny Stratford, as well as on the Buckingham Branch, extending to within a mile of that town. The embankment seems to possess great stability.
The branch and iron railway, that is to connect the Grand Junction Canal with the New River at the town of Northampton, as also Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal, are proceeding rapidly, and their completion may be expected about the end of next month. A meeting of the commissioners who are named in the act, for deciding all differences or disputes between the Company and individuals or bodies of men, began on Monday morning last, and continued its sitting until Wednesday, at Aylesbury; when the long existing disputes between the Company and the Millers on the Thames River were fully gone into. We are happy to hear, that the Millers at the conclusion, unanimously agreed to withdraw all claims for satisfaction, for the water of which they have been hitherto deprived; so satisfied were they, that the measures adopted within this two or three years past, on the Tring and Wendover summit level of the Canal, will amply supply it in future, without sensible injury to the mill-stream.
