The name is Agnes.
You can compare each of the letters to those shown in this BYU Script Tutorial for German handwriting.
I extracted the relevant letters from the alphabet image on that site, and put them together in one image. I've included your image below for easy comparison.

It says "Leeds in the County of York"

It says "Doth Ordayne" as in "I doeth Ordain this my Last Will and Testament"
example - William Shakespeare's Will of 1616 - "I, William Shackspeare of Stratford-upon-Avon in the county of Warwick, gent., in perfect health and memory, God be praised, do make and ordain this my last will and testament"

It looks like "instant" meaning "this month". Since the latest month mentioned in the left column is October, I would interpret it that the child John was born October 1st and baptized on October 24th.
"Instant" (often abbreviated "inst.") and "ultimo" (or "ult."), meaning the previous month, are old English words originally from Latin.
The previous ...

I think (having looked at the full page on FindMyPast) that it probably actually says "were" so that it reads:
John Smith Captains Clarke of his Majestys Ship Firm and Sarah Osment
of St Andrews Plymouth a minor with consent of parents were
married in this church by licence this thirteenth Day of July in the
Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty ...

It's "Superintendent Registrar's Certificate" - though I admit it does help to know the various ways of getting married rather than rely on the text. Generally marriages in the Church of England would take place after banns had been read in the parish churches of the two parties. There are various reasons for not getting banns - pre-1837 the couple could get ...

In other words, left-sided heart failure.

It's "And" with a capital "A" !
Your "s" is clearly(?) the same as the "d" in "and"
Your "u" could just as easily be an "n" - these are notoriously easy to confuse.
Your "et" is one letter, "A" - the second "etus" is actually clearer that the "et" is one letter.
It doesn't help that they omit punctuation, does it?

Imprimis is Latin for "firstly". The word commonly appears in lists in parish registers and wills, preceding the first item.

I can't read the script yet. But we can say what it meant - if you look at the vertical annotation to the right, it explains that the registrations were cancelled because the qualification of the informant was not stated. Births and deaths in the English / Welsh registration system, and apparently the Irish I see from the image here, can only be reported by ...

The teacher's name is Elizabeth Ullrich.
From the report card, we can see that the school was in Rhode Island. There is a report titled RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL REPORT, prepared for the Rhode Island Board of Education which lists School Officers and Teachers in Public Schools in 1894-95 which includes Elizabeth Ullrich as a teacher in 'Grammar, Intermediate, ...

To me that looks like a D comparing it earlier on the same page where it is clearer and written in the same way so I think that it is the 2nd.
It is always useful in this type of case to look at entries close to the one that you are looking at to see if the handwriting is clearer and you get to start to see how the author actually writes and it make it ...

Annoying...!
I think the word is "Indep", meaning "Independent", as in "Of Independent means".
"I" and "J" do seem to be very similar in many hands and I'm not sure what to say the difference is. I've just looked through this census book and can't see any other use of a capital "I", and of course found several "J" for "Jane", etc., that look very similar.

The note reads: "According to the Cert[ifica]te of the Rev[eren]d G. Morland transmitted to me 30th August."
An Act for the better regulating and preserving Parish and other Registers of Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in England (Stat. 52 Geo. 3, c. 146) describes the reason why this was written in the margin:
IV. And be it further enacted, ...

Counkilla or Ceancullig (Gaelic: Ceann Coille) is located just north of Drimoleague. It is a townland in Drimoleague parish. Clearly there are numerous spelling variations of this place that you may find, some more phonetic, some more true to its Gaelic origin.
See the entry for Ceancullig on Townlands.ie for more information about this location.

My reading is "profesión, sus labores". In view of the 1970 film "De profesión, sus labores" I take it this is how one says "housewife/domestic duties" on a Spanish Death certificate.
See also the translation from an online dictionary:
profesión: sus labores
(en censo, formulario) occupation: housewife

The handwriting isn't great (and it hasn't come through well on the pdf copy), but the Address is given as "Independence MO".
The downstroke of the J of "Jr" crosses the last "e" of "Independence".
I've taken he liberty of removing the name and indicating each letter in red above the script here:

The name of the Captain would appear to be "Cannon" in the first image (appearing more legibly in "Captain Wm Cannons Company" in the second).
The phrase at the end is "per annum" (compare the "p" in "per" with the "p" in "Captain" in your first image)
I did a quick search for "South Carolina Volunteers" "1812", and found this list of Nash's Regiment SC ...

The UK and Ireland censuses are available from multiple places: Ancestry, FindMyPast, and MyHeritage to name a few. FamilySearch has transcripts, but it links to FindMyPast for the images.
I can access the image at Ancestry and MyHeritage through my library. In both of these, the image is not very clear. However, on MyHeritage, I was able to zoom large ...

The words after John Larke's name are "Single Man" it's just the top of the a doesn't go all the way over. Compare to "Single Woman" after Elizabeth's name. I would interpret it as meaning he was a bachelor rather than a widower.
The "No 2" is I suspect just the number of that entry, but you would need to compare it to the records before and after to be ...

Some small differences, especially in word endings:

Passenger lists can be difficult to decipher, and I think the transcriber has interpreted the place name incorrectly. I think a more accurate transcription would be: Berditschew.
Translating place names from Russian to English can be more of an art than a science, and this is likely a spelling of Berdychiv in modern Ukraine.

Paralysis.
Determining the underlying cause is pure speculation, but suffice it to say that the person had some sort of neurologic disorder. Causes could range from trauma to infectious or inflammatory disease, and everything in between.
A useful source to identify causes of death on old death certificates is Antiquus Morbus. For paralysis, it states:
