To be Sold Cheap at private Sale, THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the State of New-Jersey, it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: On the Lot next the river is a Stone DWELLING-HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor, (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn; in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of Meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the Meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a Store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary Spring and Well at the Dwelling-House, from which the Meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the Lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious Store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes: the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence.

MR. CHILDS, SIR, IF the following trifle has any tendency to promote the festivity of the Anniversary of the Tutelar Saint of IRELAND, your inserting it, on Monday next, may prove pleasing to such (at least) of your subscribers as are descended from, or are themselves, IRISHMEN. New-York, March 15, 1788.
S O N G, On the Anniversary of St. PATRICK, 1788:
Respectfully dedicated to all genuine Milefians, by their devoted countryman, MATHEW CAREY.
I. YE Sons of St. Patrick, draw jovially near: To the banners of Bacchus resort On this solemn feast—to Irishmen dear— To mirth consecrated, and sport.
II. Far hence be all strife, contention, and noise— Let harmony 'mongst us prevail: Push the bottle about—of wine taste the joys— True Milefians in toping ne'er fail.
III. Rever'd be St. Patrick, who in our blest isle Spread the lustre of science around: On his natal day, our cares let's beguile, While our temples with shamrocks are bound.
IV. Hospitality's praise—a virtue too rare— Was never to Ireland deny'd: E'en Twiss—the vile reptile—was forc'd to declare, That just was the national pride.
V. Regard ev'ry rank, from the high-titled peer, To the cottar—though abject and low; Each man to his friend gives a welcome fincere, And freely good cheer doth bestow.
VI. In warlike achievements few nations can gain So unfully'd and signal a fame: Search the records of France—of Germany —Spain— You'll find how well founded their claim.
VII. Cremona's defence, and Fontenoy's field, In deathless memorials display The national valor—to friends a strong shield, To opposers, confusion—dismay.
VIII. From Northern Quebec, where Montgom'ry fell, To Georgia's most southerly scene, Each State has beheld—each Commander can tell, How brave have our countrymen been.
IX. To such fav'rites of Mars, pray who could expect Venus gives not of blessings a share No Irishman ever will fail to protect, To comfort, and cherish the fair.
X. A glafs, jolly souls: a bumper pray fill, For a toast that philanthropy prizes: "Health—happiness—honor—attend the man still, Who reflections on nations despises."
NEW-YORK, March 17.
On Tuesday last, departed this life, in the 71st year of her age, after a tedious illness, which she bore with great resignation and Christian fortitude, Mrs. MARIA FARMER, a lady, whose goodness of heart and chearful disposition endeared her to all ranks and descriptions of people, who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance; the many distressed objects who subsisted on her bounty in particular, have reason to lament her loss. Her dying request, was, that her funeral might be conducted according to the ancient Dutch custom, strict observance of which, she had expressly enjoined in her last Will and Testament. Her remains were accordingly interred on Friday last, near the chancel, in Trinity Church, next to the remains of her deceased husband, the late Captain JASPER FARMER. The followers, after being liberally supplied with spiced wine, pipes, and tobacco, moved in Procession from her house, in Hanover-Square, and proceeded up Wall-street, in the following order:
S E X T O N.   Messrs.  Messrs.    Theophilus Bache,  Henry Remsen,    Coras, Clapper,  Abraham Walton,    Jacob Lefferts,  Johannis Altynce,    Jeronimus Altynce,  Petrus Bogart.   CORPS, in a roofed coffin, covered with black cloth, and a copper plate, with a Dutch inscription. Relations. Doctors.
Rev. Dr. Rogers and Domine Grofs. Bishop and Clergy of the Episcopal Church. Dutch Clergy. Citizens.
"She's now released from a world of woe: Eternal Wisdom hath conceived it best, On her a crown of glory to bestow, With saints above, in her Redeemer's rest."
On Thursday last, the Senate decided on the Resolution of the Assembly, for adjourning to New-York.
Negative 9 Affirmative 6 The Assembly of the State of Rhode-Island in their late Session, have passed an Act, from which the following paragraph is taken, viz.
"Be it enacted by this General Assembly, and by the authority thereof it is hereby enacted, That the fourth Monday in March, inst. be, and the same is hereby appointed, the day for all the freemen and freeholders within this State, to convene in their respective towns, in town-meetings assembled, and to deliberate upon, and determine, each individual, (who hath a right by law, to vote for the choice of General Officers,) by himself, by poll, whether the said Constitution for the United States shall be adopted or negatived."
Extract of a letter from Providence, dated, March 2.
"The General Assembly, last night, ordered the Hon. Peleg Arnold, and Jonathan J. Hazard, Esquires, two of our Delegates to Congress, to proceed immediately to New-York, to take their seats in that Hon. Body. Our State is divided on the great question of the Constitution, as they were on the subject of paper money, with scarcely an exception."
On Saturday arrived the Schooner General Washington, Mead, from Wilmington.
HOUSE of ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE. Saturday, March 1, 1788.
Mr. Brooks presented the report of the Committee on the following petition, viz. To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York.
The Petition of the Subscribers, inhabitants of King's County, in the said State, Most humbly Sheweth,
THAT the petitioners, as well as travellers through the said county, have long suffered much inconvenience from the badness of the roads through the said county, which it has not been in their power sufficiently to keep in repair by the method of working on the roads directed by the present law; and they are of opinion, that if a sum of money could be legally raised by assessment upon the taxables of the county, the important public purpose of putting the roads in good repair would be effected, and in a way the most agreeable to the inhabitants.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that a law may be passed this present session, authorising the inhabitants of the said county to raise the sum of 200l. for the purpose herein before mentioned; and, as in duty bound, they will ever pray.
King's-County, Feb. 6, 1788.

An Act to regulate and keep in Repair, all common and public High-ways, in the County of King's.
WHEREAS the keeping in good repair, public Roads and High-ways, contributes greatly to the ease and advantage of a County:
Be it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That, from and after the publication of this act, the freeholders and inhabitants of the towns, within the County of King's, at their annual Town-meetings, for electing Town Officers, shall chuse and elect three freeholders, as Commissioners, to regulate and lay out high-ways, at the same time, and one freeholder in each respective town, as an Overseer, to repair, and keep in order, the several high-ways, within each respective town, for which they shall be elected and chosen Overseer for, as aforesaid, and the persons so to be chosen, are hereby required to take their several offices respectively upon them.
Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Commissioners of the roads, in the respective towns, or the major part of them, are hereby empowered and authorised to regulate the roads already laid out, in such manner as a majority of the Commissioners in each town, shall judge meet and convenient, and also, to lay out such other public high-ways and roads, as they, or the major part of them shall judge necessary; provided, nevertheless, that where any roads shall be laid out through enclosed, or improved lands, the owner or owners thereof, shall be paid the true value of the lands so to be laid into an high-way or road, with such damages as he, she, or they, may sustain, by reason thereof, in manner following, viz. The value of the said lands, and the amount of the damages the owner or owners thereof may sustain, as aforesaid, shall be determined, and the true value set and appraised, by two Justices of the Peace, and by the oaths of twelve principal freeholders, not having an interest in the lands so to be laid out into an high-way or road, and the said freeholders shall be summoned by the Sheriff of the County, by virtue of a warrant, to be issued by the said two Justices of the Peace, for that purpose; and if any road within any town, so laid out, be a common, public high-way, and the same be laid out, at the request of twelve principal freeholders of such County, then the whole value of the said lands, and damages, together with the charges of the Overseers, and of summoning the Jury, and the whole proceedings thereon had, shall be paid, as the other contingent charges of the County are paid: But if the road so to be laid out, shall be a private road, and for the particular convenience of one, or more towns, then such town, or towns, requiring the same, shall pay, and defray the whole of such value, damages and charges: Provided, always, that no road or high-way, shall be laid through any orchard or garden, without the consent of the owner or owners thereof, any thing herein contained, to the contrary, notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons within the said townships, do, or hereafter shall, alter, obstruct or encroach, on any high-way or road, such person, so offending shall, for every such offence, forfeit the sum of five pounds, to be recovered before any Justice of the peace in the County upon the oath of one or more credible witness or witnesses, and levied by distress, and sale of the goods and chattels of the offender, by warrant from such Justice, to be directed to any Constable of the town where such offender shall reside, and the said Constable is hereby required to pay such penalty to the Overseers of the highway, in the town where such offence was committed.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all public roads, to be altered or laid out, by the said Commissioners, shall be of the breadth of not less than four rods: and in order that the burthen of keeping the high-ways in the said County in repair, and making other high-ways if necessary, for the ease, benefit, and safety of the inhabitants thereof, may be borne equally:
Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the said Overseers of each respective town, within the said County, shall be, and they are hereby authorised, with the consent and approbation of the Commissioners in each town, or the major part of them, to hire laborers and teams, and to purchase such materials as may be wanted, to repair any of the public roads in the said towns, respectively, and that the accounts of the said Overseers, respectively, for the repairs of the said roads, shall be audited by the said Commissioners, or a majority of them, of the same town, and the Supervisors of the said County shall thereupon raise and levy the same, with the other contingent charges of the said County, with such reasonable allow-
ances for their services, as the said Commissioners shall think proper, and pay the amount thereof to the said Overseers respectively. And if the said Supervisors shall refuse or neglect to raise the same, within the space of three months after the said accounts have been delivered to them, duly audited, as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the said Overseers respectively, to receive from the said Supervisors, their Executors, and Administrators, the amount of such accounts, with lawful interest thereon, from the time of the delivery of such audited accounts, by action of debt, in any Court having cognizance thereof; wherein it shall be sufficient for the said Overseers to declare, that the said Supervisors became indebted to him by this act, in such a sum, as the case may require, and he shall be permitted to give the special matter in evidence.

S L E N D E R, WILL cover for the Season at Sans-Souci, Col. White's farm, 6 miles from New-York, on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Savannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning his colts, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars. Slender is a fine bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, strength and speed are superior to any horse ever imported from England. He was bred by the Duke of Queenberry, who took three puffs with him at New-Market, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sporting calendars of 1782 and 1783. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second spring meeting, 1782, and at the July meeting following, took both puffs, and beat 25 of the first colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing calendars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Peers; Mr. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgil; Mr. Pultney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Panton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tattersall's bay filly got by Eclipse; Mr. Parker's chestnut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chestnut colt got by his Arabian; Lord Egremont's bay filly got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay filly got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chestnut colt got by Sweetbriar; and the thirteen that run for the first puff. The twelve that started for the second puff with Slender were Lord Ossory's Coxcomb; Mr. Colling's Gilliflower; His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Egremont's Chestnut; Mr. Pultney's Straight-leg; Duke of Grafton's Haring; Lord Clermont's Cat; Mr. Pegot's Maypole; Mr. Vernon's chestnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay filly got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chestnut colt got by Sweetbriar; William, and Mr. Tattersall's filly got by Metaphysician. At
New-Market, the first spring meeting 1783, Slender, at 4 years old, took the puffs, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gameter, and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge, the July following, he took the puffs, and beat Mrs. Delly's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is full brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the best horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1782 and 1783, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Paymaster, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Common-dore, Brag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won puffs at New-Market. Slender's granddam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Miss Cleveland, who is the dam of that well-known son of Old Snap, Tagger-gill; he is also the sire of Tandan's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, Wicham, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shatto related 1800 guineas for Tandan, when he was rising five years old. Slender's granddam was also a daughter of Sore Heels, which mare was the dam of Matchless, Soucha, and Danbay Cade, a daughter of Matchless, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Matchless was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is too well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is sufficient to say he got the dam of Babraham. Matchless was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sore Heels was got by Basso, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Scar, and brother to the dam of Bay Mott, Old Crab, Black Legs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxberry Galloway. Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queenberry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.
N A B O B, WILL cover Mares for the season, at Sans-Souci, at Four Dollars, and half a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered. NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high:—He was got by Frederick, a full-bred hunter, his dam by Figure, his granddam by Old Britain, his great dam by a Chickasaw horse, brought from the Nation; he is in perfect health—in full toned vicinity, possessed of instinct, and with all, a genuine spirit. The above horses may be seen at Sans-Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedigrees, certificates, &c. &c. &c.
T A M E R L A N E WILL cover Mares for the season, at Col. Anthony W. White's farm, the Cool Spring Cottage, one mile and a half from the City of New-Brunswick, for FIVE DOLLARS the season, any kind of country produce, sheep, calves or hogs, that Mr. John D. Alvay, will certify is worth that sum; but his certificate must be produced, before the Mares are covered, that he has received the Five Dollars, or what is equal in value to the same. TAMERLANE is a bright bay, fifteen hands three inches and a half high; his great strength strikes the eye at once, from the uncommon depth and slope of his shoulders, the breadth of his quarter, his length of barrel, and the shortness of his back; he is free from all blemishes; his pedigree has been often published, that it is needless to insist at present; his purity of blood is equal to any horse bred in this country; he is a remarkable fine horse, most of the mares he covered in New-Jersey, proved in foal, and a great number of those covered by him in New-York; his colts in general, are allowed to be the largest, and best, ever foaled in this country; those of his get, at the Southward, have been tried, when on the turf behaved well, they answered to the whip, and had both bottom and speed. They are to be sold after the season for covering is over. Any person wishing to purchase, may know the terms by applying to Col. John Bayard, Philadelphia; William Paterson, Esq. New-Brunswick; William Popham, Esq. New-York; or to Col. Anthony W. White, at Sans-Souci. Good pasture will be provided at each stand of the above-mentioned horses, by their grooms, at the usual rate; but the mares must be at the risk of the owner. March 17.
T O C O V E R, The Ensuing Season, At Col. Gilbert Budd's, Marrowack, Westchester County, 27 Miles from New-York, at Six Dollars the Season, the Money to be paid down.

To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and Assembly convened.

Great inconveniences arise to your Petitioners, the said Church, and the present Minister thereof, from the execution of the said trust by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, by reason of the distance they live at from the said land: And that the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen are desirous of being exonerated from the further execution of the said trust. Thus circumstanced, your Petitioners are advised that the interposition of the Legislature is necessary to prevent all future inconveniences arising from the execution of the trust aforesaid, by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, to insure the advantages which the Grantees of the said trust intended the Church aforesaid should derive from it.
YOUR Petitioners therefore pray, That the Honorable the Legislature will be pleased to pass an Act, to direct an assignment of the said trust to or vest the said land in the Trustees and their Successors, for the sole benefit and behoof of their said Church, or to grant unto your Petitioners such other relief, in the Premises, as to the Honorable the Legislature shall seem meet. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
