S O N G. Sung with great applause at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool. SHAKESPEARE'S Seven Ages of MAN.
Tune—In a far off here hard by. O ur immortal Poet's page, Says all the world's a stage, And that men with their plays, Are nothing more than players; Where each tries by comic art, In his turn to play his part: All to keep up the farcical scene O! Enter here, Exit there; Stand in view, Mind your cue: Hey down, ho down, derry, derry down; all to fill up the scene O! First the infant in the lap, Muling, puling for its pap; Like a chicken that we truss, He's so swaddled by his nurse; Who to please the puppet tries, As he giggles and he cries; All to keep up this farcical scene O! Hush a bye! Wipe an eye; Kiss Petty; Suck a titty. Hey down, &c. Next the petty child of grace, With his shining morning face, With hatchel on his back, To school alas! must pack: But like a snail he creeps, As o'er his task he weeps, All to keep up the farcical scene O! Book midship, Truant play'd; Rod in pickle, Bum to tickle. Hey down, &c. Next the lover then appears, Soused over head and ears; Like lobsters on the fire, Sighing ready to expire: With a cooing hole through his heart, You may through it drive a cart. All to fill up the farcical scene O! Beauty spurns him, Passion burns him; Like a wizard, Cuts his gizzard. Hey down, &c. Then the soldier, ripe for plunder, Breathing slaughter, blood and thunder; Like a cat among the mice, Kick a dust up in a trice; Talks of blood and streaming veins, Shatter'd limbs and scatter'd brains. All to fill up the farcical scene O! Run to fly, Fight or die; Helter skelter, Pop and pelt her. Hey down, &c. Then a justice in his chair, With a broad and vacant stare; With a wig of formal cut, And belly like a butt; Well lin'd with turtle haunch, Callipee and callipash. All to fill up the farcical scene O! Pimp or cull, Bawd or trull, At his nod, So to quod. Hey down, &c. Next the skipper'd pantaloon, In life's dull afternoon Shrunk, Shrunk in youthful hose, And spectacles on nose, His voice, once big and round, Now whistles in its sound: All to fill up the farcical scene O! Vigor spent, Body bent; Shaking raddle, Widdle waddle, Hey down, &c. But the last act of the play, Second childhood leads the way, And like sheep take the rot, All our senses go to pot: Then death among us sweeps, And so down the curtain drops. All to fill up the farcical scene O! Laid in ground, The glass goes round; And Vicar and Moses, Toast their noses. Hey down, &c.
D U B L I N, August 5.
We are informed that the herrings have within these few days made their appearance off the island of Arran-More, in the county of Donegall. This island contains about 200 acres. There are upwards of four score families living on it. Great quantities of kelp are produced from the sea-weed that is on the coast. There is also a very large and profitable warren, and several storehouses have been lately erected on it by the merchants of Londonderry and Sligo, for the preserving and curing of the herrings that are caught on the neighbouring banks. There has been an unusual mortality among the soldiers of the garrison within a few days past. The hospital belonging to the barracks is so crowded with the soldiery, that there is not space for the admittance of more, whatever may be the nature of their complaints. No less than forty of the men, we have been informed, were interred in St. Paul's church-yard within the last eight days. The disease which is prevalent in the metropolis is extremely troublesome, though we are happy at being able to inform the public that it has in few instances been mortal. Scarcely one person out of fifty has escaped its contagion in town, and we are informed that it is equally predominant in the adjacent country, for the circumference of ten miles. It is imputed by the gentlemen of the faculty to a noxious quality in the air, and has already banished numbers from the city. In many it is attended with a complication of complaints, pains in the head, catarah, coughs, soreness in the chest, and pains in the bones. It may easily be ascertained by the paleness of the countenance, and the dimness of the eyes it occasions. About a fortnight since, a person of the name of Leorier de Pille, presented to the society for encouraging manufactures, &c. in London, specimens of a new invented paper, manufactured from the bark of trees, and from other parts of vegetables. This sort of paper is particularly well suited for the hangings of rooms; it comes cheaper than that made of rags, and will bear to be coloured and figured very well; besides this, the same artist has been able to make a finer sort of paper from the same materials. Some produced from the marshmallows plant, bore the finest impression of printing in a small volume twelves.
As this kingdom is abundant in marshmallows, nettles and other fibrous plants, it is strongly recommended to make some experiments for the manufacture of printing paper in particular, an article much wanted with a soft, mellow and fair texture. The backings of tow, properly watered and bleached, would answer this purpose extremely well, and abundantly reward the hazard of experiment.
N E W P O R T, October 16.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Benedict, of Lebanon, to the Rev. President Stiles, of Yale College, giving an account of a remarkable change in the complexion of an Indian. This Indian is about 40 years of age, he calls himself by the name of Samuel Adams, and was born at Framington, in the state of Connecticut; he is tall and well made, his hair is long and coarse, and of the pure Indian black, but grows out of a skin as white as a lilly—He tells me that he began to whiten about two years before I saw him, which was in July 1780—the white first appeared upon his breast, and gradually spread from thence. I carefully examined him, and found him to be entirely white, excepting the prominent parts of his face, viz. his forehead, cheek bones, nose, and about his chin, which were of the pure Indian color, and I think darker than common for that nation: the colors in his face did not form a shade by running in each other, but were both of them entire to the very line of contact, and exhibited a very grotesque appearance.—His arms were white, but his hands were pied, and his fingers of the natural Indian color; it was the same with his feet as with his hands, they were interspersed with the natural tawn, his toes are black, but his legs and thighs are wholly white: what is worthy of observation is, that the white is perfectly natural and very fair for an Englishman. I compared him with 14 or 15 persons that were at my house, of both sexes, and he was visibly the fairest: he told me that he had enjoyed an uninterrupted state of health both before and since he began to whiten.—He appears pleased with his transmutation; but, alas! he has still Indian enough to disregard his promise, and to intoxicate himself with spirits. By information of others, who have seen him since these observations were made, the remaining black still continues to disappear.
N E W H A V E N, Oct. 22.
Monday night we had a heavy gale of wind from the east, with a full tide and abundance of rain, which we have raised the small rivers and brooks to a great height; and that at Waterbury and Westbury, several mills, dams and bridges were swept away.
N E W - Y O R K, Oct. 25.
His Catholic Majesty's Packet PINZON, commanded by DON PEDRO DEL BARCO, sailed from this port the 28th July last, for Corunna, and arrived there after a passage of 23 days.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Fair Abiconian, Thurston, from New-Province; sloop Delight, Cochran, Curacoa; Richmond, Goodwin, Norfolk; Jenny, Marschall, St. Croix; and Maria, Elliot, Charleston.
Yesterday failed for Madeira, the American brig Federalist, Capt. Marsh.
A Correspondent has handed us the following:—On Thursday last the Militia of King's County was reviewed, and a more respectable and independent yeomanry never appeared in arms. A troop of horse was formed on the right, and attracted universal attention and praise—the men had every necessary appointment, which were furnished at their own expence. Government is too impoverished to aid the spirit of the youth by any military bounty; yet they could afford, at the eve of an expensive war, to squander away an immense property by partial allocations, for the benefit of a few.
The horse were too light for that service; and as their breed was ruined by the war, I can readily excuse this defect. The county is making efforts to establish a good breed, and I make no doubt in a few years, the young men will display a laudable pride in their substantial cavalry, and a praise-worthy contempt of the light-footed racers, which promotes gambling, dissipation, and all the frauds of jockey-ship.
The company of infantry did honor to the officers; and those young men who liberally supplied themselves with arms, accoutrements, and uniform, deserve praise—They were a handsome support to the cavalry, and formed a pretty legion in miniature.
The battalion was composed of men whose bodies were firm, and whose minds were docile. When I consider the political impotence of the militia system, my mind was surprised with their military performances. I often regret that our government wants energy to give direction and effect to the native vigor of our hardy and virtuous yeomanry, by discipline. We do not want the tyrannical system of Prussia, which reduces men to machines; we only want a knowledge of the most simple elements of the military service, to make our inhabitants respectable in arms.
If the union should ever be dissolved, (which God forbid) the state the most forward in discipline, will give the law. If a delinquent state should be punished by arms, the state which is the most ready to obey the military mandate of the league, and which gains the most laurels in the field, will have the most weight in the union.—There are a variety of reasons which ought to induce our great and heaven-born politicians to give our militia system all the perfection it will bear.
No riot,—no drunkenness,—no disobedi-
ence, disgraced the day; and it gave me a high idea of their virtuous manners.
It is curious to hear men who know nothing of the morality of the debtor, and whose morals are abandoned, talk of the virtues of a republican government. These people have never read Montesquieu, and even their patience never would go through Adams; and yet they are genuine republicans.
Married, in Virginia, Sir Peyton Skipwith, of Mill-Farm, in Mecklenburg county, to Miss Miller, an accomplished young lady, lately arrived from Great-Britain.
Extract from the Journal of Congress: THURSDAY, October 2, 1788.
On a report of a committee, consisting of Mr. Gilman, Mr. Reid, and Mr. Carrington, to whom was referred the petition of brigadier general James Reed,
Resolved, That it be and hereby is recommended to the state of New-Hampshire to take into consideration the peculiar situation and sufferings of brigadier general James Reed, and on his producing proper evidence to substantiate his claim to the pension of an invalid, to make provision for payment thereof out of the specie requisitions, agreeably to the resolutions of Congress of the 11th of June last.
In the House of Representatives of Connecticut, Oct. 10, 1788.
“On the memorials of the representatives of the society of people called Quakers, residing in the state of New-York, and the poor New-England states, and of the Associated Clergy of the state of Connecticut, in behalf of the Africans.”
Dr. Edwards on behalf of the clergy, and a committee of several friends on the part of the quakers, were, at their request admitted before the house, and prayed that laws might be enacted to ensure to said people the rights they at present enjoy, and particularly to secure them from being stolen and transported to countries in which their circumstances would be less happy than in this state. “Gen. Wadsworth, maj. Phelps, and col. Wadsworth, were appointed a committee, to join to take said memorials, and the general subject, into consideration and report.”

It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri- tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a thick stout coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
