" I take the advantage of the FriePdsh'iip
ing from this Bay, to inform yoti of the h)l-
-lowing extraordinary discovery recently . made by
Dr. SositEitvrLL E and Mr. DANTE LS. These
Gentlemen, after travelling about 360 hours flozn
the Cape, or, as we suppose, ab-att eigi.t hundttd
'English miles, in a nearly N. E. direction, which
would bring them within about two degree
of tbe Tropic, came to the Capital of !he Bait zuanas,
containing about t sod houses and 7000 inhabj anta ;
the name of this city is Liketow. Be,ides a variety',
or, perhaps, a new species of Rhinocyro,, no less
than four animals of the Antelope,and Bo'.-ine genus,
hitherto undescribed, have been discovered ; among
which, one is stated to be allied to the Gips, and
another; in some degree, to the Hartebust.','

It is remarkable, that in specifying the Duties
arising from the Consolidated Custorris, the twd
quarters preceding the Peace appear to have produced
upwards of a Million, while the two quarters suc-
ceeding it did not produce a tenth part of that sum;
only 95,0001.

Part of the ancient Irish Fenciblcs are performing
quarantine off Plymouth, on their arrival from
Egypt. The Ist Dragoons are ordered from Can..

march from Chelmsford to Tilbury, to embark for
foreign service ; the 55,111 foot have arrived off
Portsmouth from Malta.

formed such essential service durit:g the riots last

order with their Officers, before a house into which
his Lordship had gone, and saluted him' with repeat-

in terms expressive of the high value he put on that

there wig, in the condua of this great and
sudden Revolution, so much of inevitable lenity,
for little seems.. to have been designed, that with
regard to almost all of the greater Monasteries
pensions were paid, and the King did not unmedi-
• ately come into the full enjoyment of their revenues.
However, by what he did receive, he foufided six
-Bishoprics : Westminser (which was changed by
ELI ZAB ETH into a Deanery, with twelve Prebends,
and a School), x,eterborough, Chester, Gloucester,
Bristol, and Oxford. In eight other Sees, heb
founded Deanries and Chapters, by converting the
Priors and Monks into Deans and Prebendaries :
Canterbury, Winchester, Durham, Worcester, Ro-
chester, Norwich, Ely,
.and Carlisle. He founded
also the Colleges of Christ-church, in Oxford, and
Trinity, in Cambridge,; and finished the magnifi-
cent Foundation of Henry VI. in that University,
distinguished by the name of King's College. . To
the City of London he gave the house of Grey Frier;,
and the hospital of. St. Bartholomew ; and to the
pier Knights of Windsor a perpetual Pension : and
laid out large sums in building and fortifying many
Ports in the Channel.
The diSsolution of Monasteries, or houses of
religious and eleemosinary establishment, appears to
to have commenced in this Island as early as the
year 131 a, when the Templars were suppressed ;
and- in 1323, their lands, churches,advowsons, and
liberties, here in England, were transferred to the
Prior and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John, at
Jerusalem. In 1390, 1437, 1441, 1459, 1497,
.7oc, 1508, 1515, several other houses, were dis-
'td, and their revenues settled on different Col-

Yesterday, as the son of Mr. Brown, of Wal-
worth, was bathing in Lock's Fields, he ventured
out of his depth, and was under water some time
before assistance could be procured, when he ap-
peared in a state of death.; but, on resorting to the
means prescribed by the Humane Society, the youth
was happily restored to life.
