The mail and coaches to Welton are filled infide and out for a number of days to come The greatea impofit ions arc prac tiled upon travellers at this time at the Inns; they fecm not to know how to charge enough : two Millings and fixpence is charged for a few mouth fuls of cold meat. The Guild, which commences on Monday, is islet :led to be the grandeft ever teen ; no pains or operate bas been (pared by Lord Deasy, or Mr. 1-13tItICKS, to render it worthy the attention of the public. As much intereft is made there to pro cure a bed as if it was to obtain a permanent fitua tion for life. Applications are made to the great men of Pretion in the humbleft fiyle to procure beds, although enormous fums are demanded; fifteen guineas a week has been Aced for three tombs; houfes have been built upon (peculation to let, during this novel feftival.

On finifhing the dinance, it was found that the little animal had two minutes and a half to fpare. MATCH AGAINST TIME.—On Thurfday lag, a wager of rather a fingular nature, and for a con fiderable amount, was determined on the road be. tween Glafgow and Falkirk. The bet was laid between Mr. John Stobo, Surgeon, in Cumber nauld, and Mr. James Smith, of the fame place, that the latter Gentleman would not walk, in the fpace of half an hour, two miles backwards. To the furprize of many prefent, Mr. Smith perform. ed the walk exactly in twenty minutes. There was a great concourfe of fpeaators prefent, and the novelty of the bet afforded good fport.

The gold or naments weigh upwards of 160 ounces, confining of heavy oval rings, fufficiently large for the arm, &one of them decorated with a fort of fretwork in front and others plain.

REFINER'S BLUE VIRDITER-4t is rather (Irange, among the important difcoveries in cherniqry for thefe laft twenty years, that the art of pi sparing that beautiful blue colour, called Refiners Blue Verditer, or Bleu de Montague, Ihould tenttin a fe cret with, perhaps, not more than a dozen people in the world. There is, indeed, an abundance of blue colours which bear that name : but what we allude to here is a foft, moll beautiful warm blue, even fuperior in point of tint to ultramarine.— Dr. PRIESTLEY, we underhand, when relident in Birmingham, was occafionally engaged for fevcral years m effecting this object, hot never lucceeded to any tolerable degree of perfection. England at prefent furnifhes the whole of this article to com merce. PELLETIER, in his Annals of Chemillry, has given an analyfis and mode of prepat ing the tender bleu d'ilns4terre ; but there is reafon to believe that his analyfis is incorrect.

The confumption of this colour in Europe is great, and there is cer tainly room for others to embark in the manufac ture of this article.
