Epitaph on a Gentleman, more remarkable for
his loquacity than his veracity, written in the
4fteerith centiiry :
Here's old johnnrAnderson lying in dust,
Or lying 61d Anderson, Vitse•Which_ye trust :
To say he lies dead, can do him no Wrongs •
• For we'all know old johnny7lied all his life long.
Halfpepce and farrhinis Were
.not in the times of
the Saxons and Normans an original coinage, as they
now are, but made part of the penny, which bore
the King's image on one side, and on thereversei

the name of the city where coined, and a cross so
deeply indentA, that it might easily be broken in
halves, which were then called half-pence, and these
again separated were named fourthings,'or,,as now
corrupted, farthings.-
The Coromandel, for Botany Bay, not having
arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 26th of
May, some apprehensions are entertained ,for her,
on account of the insurtelion of the Con yids' on
board the Hercules and Atlas. The Perseus,, Da.
vidson; had made a good voyage, and the Captain
%.vas in hopes of landing bit the Convias in safety at
Botany Bay.
Yesterday as ngig with a Gentleman and Lady in

was broken,- and the Gentleman and Lady both
thrown out,. but they fortunately received little in.

Last Saturday night two of the Dutch Officers be-

and, being heated with wine and rage, drew their
hangers, and fought desperately : one of them re-
ceived a dreadful cut across his skull, and the other
athwart his four fingers.

The Agricultural .:Vi .e in,ilield in varithi3 1.3 i:
trills, for trying experiments of the different breed;
of CAtle,havediffii3eil a general enitilation thr,4l2li: •
nut the Island. Li a feW years; it is to be hot lei
that the', propagation of those kind of aciteali
,which arrive the sonnest to perfeaion wi h the
least quantity of food, will be the meinis of bring_
ingdowo the price Of Bliteher's .\.;e,e; and that the
labouring poor will he enab ed to rariale.: of the'
benefits arising from such ;:md,ible ex -ti inns; as it
is immaterial to them whether• the. Leicester, the
Lincoln, or South -Downs lay on the flesh in the
m Ist beneficial parts of the Carca,s, or what Me-
-1 dais the Honorable Bairnd may distribute for the
best Essays on the breaking up of Paiture Lind
and laying the same down to Grass again, if the
hands who perform the operation, reap no advan-
tage in the price to the:Consumer. The eoinfor:e;
of the Poor are attended to by-tlle highest charaaerS
of the United king -tom, and by none more eft-c.c.:tively,
tively, than the first Landed ProprietOr of Nor-
thumberland. For several yeakspaSl, a number of
_neat roomy Cottages have been built upon the Per-
ey Estates, for the industrious of every descrip.,
tion, to each of which, as Much land is apportioned at
"a very modetate rent, as will be Garden, maintain
zi Cow, and,ke'ep a Pig : a -privilege s.l.i.nri to be
met With. heretofore , Till this acconradating ar-
rangement took place, all the Cottages. were at,
tached to. the FarMs, which the Farmer sublet to -
the Cottager, trri condition of-the latter's finding .i
person to work hitsbandry labour for the former;
whenever calkd upon for the purpose: the vary
idea of bondage recoils upon the mind, as that of
freedom has the opposite tendency. , Wherever the
old leases have expired, the bond age system has '
been , abolished, and the late negleded Village
Wastes converted into rich cultivated Gardens; the.
appearance of the Country: is quite cliOgd, being
now ornamented with handsome Cottages, like the
charming Villigu of. Capheaton. - Loriglioughon;
13.:omer, Denwick, Thriston, Alaltam, and, many
other places are filled with prosperous industry;
there the, Labourer and his Family feel elate plea-
sure in viewing their abundant Vineyard; there
the Wheel, the• Shuttle and Loom move in unison
with each other, whilst the he il:hy olive plants en-
twine the mothers singing amidst that,—iiiiell form-
ing a scene; truly contemplative and gratifying.
These CantonMenn have been eseiblisned by the
steady perseverance of the Noble Proprietor, in
opposition to the customs and prejudices of the
Country. To those Who possess the nieal is, anti
have the philanthropy of Making such a nom.. ,
her of • their fellow-creatures conifortable, perhaps
as much good is rendered to the Nation at large, as
in the giving of Premiums,. or subscribing to Sta.:
toes or Pillars; During the late Recess of Ririia:.

dates being drawn to the Hustings by their Con:. ,

of the Noble House of; Percy re.visits his Farniir.i.
Domains, his Chariot-wheels will be put in digni..
fled' motion, not by hirelings as at Elections, but
by the sinews of spontaneous bratitnde; arising froth
the combined exertions of the Fathers, the Help_

of the blessings conferred Upori such a IlllnKrutr!!

Yesterday; at twelve o'clock, the LORD MAYOR.
went in state to Smithfield, and proclaimed 13 it-
tholotpew Fair with the_ 4sual formalities. In his
way thither, his Lordihip partook of acool' tAii:
katd with Mr. KIRBY, the Keeper of Newgate
agreeably to custom. We, in comin.m with the.
majority of the inhabitants of Lundun, most sin-
Cerely•larrient that such a nuisance is link tOierated
from year to year. The evils attendiog it are in .st
severely felt. It Lakes the artisan from his labour,who
has a family depending upon his- earnings It a field
for vice, wickedness-, and dep.i-avity of every descrip_
tion. It has, and every year doeS, prove the ruin
of many innocent, unsuspeding feina!es, who are
decoyed into the dancing-houses at night ; they are
detained until too late logo home to ihei'r friends,
and their ruin is then c,:itpleted. The people, who
from curiosity alone. Visit this pestifetChis sink of
iniquity, ate robbed and plundered of their pro..
perry by thieves from all quarters of the island, wb
at-twiny have their annual meetings at this perifid,
when their stations are appointed for •the.next year.'
• Thursday night, about half past nir-ie o'clock, the
rabble, 'commonly called Lady Ifollaad's M6b, hav-
ing assembled in Smithfield sooner than usual, took
a turn from thence up Goswel and Aldersgate-streets,
and returning down the City_ Road, iind thrJugli
FinshUrynare, they abused, knN:ked 'down, or.
robbed almost every person they niet. Mr. Allison,
a carpenter in the City Road, coating to his door
with a candle in h;s hand, on hearing the tumult, was •
knocked down, and his hat and candlestick were taken
from him. :Mr. Dupont; linen-draper, of the City
Road, had his watch•taken from him while standing
at Iris own door ; and in attempting to secure the
thief, was: beaten with sticks,and bludgeons in a
dreadful manner ; arid those who appeared 'with'
lights at their doors were assailed with vollies of
stones,- and immediately driven in. From their
number it ins impassible fur the watchmen and
people to secure any of them. We hope that the
outrages C-ominiited zrt.Peckham Fair, will operate
as a catitiott to ihe frequenters of B irrholoinew Faire
as well as to rouse from theirslutubets those whose
dUty and business it is to preieve the peace.

Apprentices in enOoy at Mr.:l3e.,dinan's Yard,
were examined before the Magistrates, otf the seve,
ral charges of felony, and deseitiOn from their Mas.
ter's-employ, by taltirg away their roofs, under the
influence of tie cotnOttiatiOn of the .ipwrights,
that.had subsisteksome time back, which is happily
ierminared. Ltds being c fisttlered as acting
under the int:Leilce' of the revolting Shipwtigiits,
sed'ucing theni Irdin their duty, they were di4missed
with a sanitary admonition to return to their duty,
which they thankfully received : and it no,I. appears
that everybranch business in the Dodi-jardt
goes on with- the UtillUSL 'harmony.
