A Mr. HAWKINS, 4 New York, has conftrated a Lew mufical int - tn.:rent which he calls the Cla• viol. The ninfic is produced from gut Brings by horfe hair how, and is played with finger keys like the harplichoid. The tones which this inurement produces, are Rated to pi •ffels the fweet ne!-; of the harmonica, the richnefs of the violin, and the grandeur of the organ. At the lower parts of a hill fltuated near the city of Atena, in Naples, many fiffures have been lately perceived, which more or leis emit flames and tinoke, and ionic difcharge quantities of lava, which run into the neighbouring valley. Th: land furrounding this lull is barren and Roney, and incapable of growing vegetables. Phylicians and Mineralogills have been fent by Governmtnt to examine the place, who have reported, in the tirß intlance, that they have found citcumaances furpafling any thing hitherto met with in their re fraiche!. A few days finee a fire broke out in the dwel ling houfe of Mr. Long, farmer, of Clinger, near Durfley ; but by the early atfillance of an engine, and the exertions of the neighbours, it WAS happi ly got under, after deQruying only a part of the buitoing. The conflagration is fuppo:ecl to have been occaftoned by lame fparks falling on the thatch, from an adjoining chimney. Mr. Long, and one of his forts, were match hurt while em ployed in rescuing their property from the flames. On Sunday hit a tire broke out at the boa.? of Mr. Godwin, a currier, in Calile-ditch, Britlol.— Mr. Godwin, after being in bed fome time, was awakened by the cries of his children, whollept in an adjoining room with the maid fervant. He in- Randy got up, and on opening the bed room door, difcovered the curtains of the bed wherein his children lay to be in flames : he fnatclied them from their danger, together with the ii:rvapt, who was Rill afleep, and having almoft immediately obtained the atliiiance of others in the houfe, he miraculoufly fucceeded in preferving the premifes, after throwing the lighted furniture and clothes in to the (tree. This difaflcr was occafioned by the negligence of the maid, who had placed the candle in a chair by her bed fide, which had burnt down, and by fome means fet fire:to her clothes. and com municated to the bed furniture. It teems a prevalent fafition among certain Ladies to take with them, when they witAt abroad, children of either fex, from the age of two and three to fix or feven. We do not attempt to di• vine the objea of this cullom ; but the evil it trua produce on fociety is evident. The children a-e rarely their own, but generally the offspring of in digent parents, who, either from urgent dillt efs, or a total abilraaion from moral duties, coalign their haplefs infants to there daughters of levity, by whom they are loon initiated into all the prac tices of iniquity ; and being taught that virtue is their enemy, conceive a hatred for it, till in the end they become callous to all good, and armed with every artifice of vice, are let loofe upon the world. On Wednefday fe'nnight a young man bathing in the river, near Perth, unfortunately went beyond his depth, and being unable to Beim went down. A good many minutes elapfed before any a fEllance could be rendered him; and when the exertions of a young man, who was fortunat:ly precut at the time, had fucceeded in bringing him to a bank, no ligns of life were vifible. Blankets and reilora tives were immediately brought_ from a gentle. man's houfe in the neighbourhood; and although half an hour elapfed before medical aftance could be procured we have the pleafure to add, that by ufing the methods prefcribed by the Humane So eictv, he was oerfeitly recovered. _ NAUTICAL.
