Sunday fe'nnight, three failors near Plymouth
got poffellion of a keg of brandy, containing lour
gallons and a half ; the greater part of which they
had drank, when, (hocking to relate ! they were

The important fubjea of cultivating Commons
and wane lands appears to be an objea that con-
fiderably engages the attention of many refpeetable
charaFters in the fitter country. The county of Cot k
in particular, contains Tome hundreds of thoudinis
of acres of healthy ground, at prefent wholly ,:n-
-cultivated; towards the reclaiming of %:ltich, even
in very fmall portions, the late Lord KINGSTON,
proprietor of an immenfe ellate in that county,
let a very laudable example by the encouragement
he gave to his cottagers, in prefenting them with
various premiums, according to the quantity, how-
ever (mall, they in any shape ronle:-ed fertile.—
Even in the county of Dublin, which mull be lop-
poled, as potfetling the metropolis, to be the bell
cultivated, there are no Icf., (according to Mr.
Archer's Statiftical Survey) than 2560 fquarc
miles of commons and wade lands.
Ireland, from many late, ac well as former dif-
coveries, is known to abound with a variety of
mines, and Tome of the moll valuable defcription.

At this feafon, good-living is much talked of.—
Qere, What it good-living ? Certainly not the
free ufe of viands 3 for thefe, though in their de-
gree nutritive, are difficult of digeflion, and op-
preffive ; canting bile, flushing, and other fymp
toms of difeafe. Certainly not an indulgence in
fermented liquors: for thole, though they give a
momentary exhilaration, ultimately deprels the
spirits, producing reftleffnefs, weakness, and fever.
But good-firing, or the 3efl and nu"! rational means,
will be found in an adherence to food which, form-
ing readily into chyle, improves the blood, re-
cruits and gives a defirable equanimity to the
fpints, promotes fleep, and drengthens and invi•
goratcs the whole fyttem , properties admirably
combined in the Chocolate and Cocoa of the Brif-
tol Manufaaory : hence, probably, ft is laid, that
many perfons live entirely on this aliment, ufing
no other meat or drink.
Yefterday great number of houfekeepers were
firrimorged before the LORD MAYOR, at the Man-
finn Houle, for not fcraping and cleaning the pave-
ment oppofite their houfes. Mi. March, of Lud-
atc-ftreet, told his .Lordfhip that he thought him-
fell nuirh aggrieved, his door having been cleaned
the nierning alluded to, and not a nob larger than
a nutmeg let: upon it ; that he frequently did it
himfelf, and laid he thought the pavement oppo•
the the Manfion Houle at this time was much
worfe than his. The LORD MAYOR allured him if
any perfon could prove the pavement of the Man-
fion Nonce not to be fcraped and cleaned every
morning, he would fine Ow porter, and feat for
him to explain that. The porter appeared, and told
his Lordthip that he had three labourers fcraping
and cleaning the pavement oppofite the Manfion
Bode that and every other morning. His Lard-
Ship conviaed every one but two or three of five
Shillings each and the expences.
A few evenings lince; a gentleman at Shadwell
was accofted at his own door, in a rcfpealul man•
tier, by a perfon of the appearance of a gentleman,
without a coat or hat on, laying he was robbed of
the fame, with a pocket Look, containing valuable
. property, and wiffied to know the belt mode he
could purfue, to recover his loft property. The
gentleman conceiving his cafe to be hard, invited
Lim to his houfe, and another perilin that was
along with him ; he then save the fufferer a coat
to put on, and fet wine before them. In the courfe
of converlation, they turned out to be the Captain
and Mate of a merchantman; that the Captain
lid (tripped himfelf to tight a man in the fircet ;
and, during the comet!, fume villains ran away
with lei coat and hat. The wine, however, begin-
- 'ling to Operate, they ufed the most obfcene lan-
guage, and were for fighting every perfon in the
ho;:le. At length, stone conflables ben tent for,
they were taken ha.) custody, and the following
day they appeareil b-llire a Magillvate. 'lle Cap.
taro making an mailt)gy was diicharged, but the

On Monday night, or early on Tucfday morn-
ir.g, fame thieves attempted to break ic•to the
Three Tuns Inn, of the garrifon, Sheernels, by
cutting the window frame with fame fharp intlrti.
ment, and forcing the bolt of the limner. The
maid-fervants getting up about that time to wath,
no doubt, prevented the robber; from carrying
their fchcme into elle& The room they attempted
to break into is, where Mr. Barnes, the landlord,
keeps his calh and plate, which is to a confider-able
amount.

On Saturday laff, a boy, about 14. years of age,
fon to a fhipwright in Shecrncfs Yard, was amufing
hire elf by !hooting at final! birds, with a pillol:
in putting the piece into his pocket, it unfortu-
nately went off, and lodged the contents in the
boy's band, which it lacerated in lb dreadfdl a
manner, that it is feared it muff be cut off._

We are concerned to Rate the very (hocking
Fa-
tafirophe which happened on the 19th ult to Mrs.
Moreau, widow of Simon Moreau, Efq. M. C. of
Cheltenham. By lonic accident her clothes caught
fire, and before Alliance was procured to extin
guifh the flames, fhe was mull dreadfully burnt,
and lingered till Wednefday fe'nnight in the great-
en agonies, when fhe died.
Monday morning a fire broke out in the top
Ror-y of a tenement at Fountain Bridge, Edits.
burgh--But by the exertions of the neighbourhood,
and Alliance oft party of the city guard, it was
cxtinguithed, after confiimins the tipper fiorey,
and confidcrably damaging the ti:cud.
On Wednefday fe'nnight abont eight o'clock in
the evening, a fire broke out in the engine }mule at
Stevenson colliery, which had very recently been
ittn,troved a a very confiderable eipence ; the whole
interior wood work of which, except the main
bean-, was in the fpace of little more than, an hour
' confumed. The fuddennefi and rapidity
of the fire exceeded almoft all belief ; and from.the
circumstances that have tranfpired, there are not
wanting reasons for believing chat the conflagra-
tion was not altogether accidental.
On Monday the High Court of Jufticiary met
at Edinburgh, and proceeded in the trial of lames
Begs, accufed at the inliance of his Majefly's Ad•
vocate of limp breaking.—The libel was reftriected
to an arbitrary punifhment. When the indklmcnt
was read over, and the Jury fworn in, the prifoner
pled guilty.—His admifflon of guilt having been
figned by him and recorded, the Jury were in-
doled, agreeably to the ufital form, to thaw; up
their verdict, which they were to return before the
Court mfe. The Court afterwards proceeded tothe
trial of GAL rifer, accufed of the murder of David
White, chaife-driver in Muffelhargh, ftriking him
with a poker, in confequence of which he died.
OYSTERS•TILEURIN A's obfervation,in the Cri-
tic, that, 6, an oyller may be erg 4 in love," has.
been lately verified, to the profit of the (peculators
in this new amour. The advantage which has
relished from croffing the breed of cattle, induced
a like experiment upon oliter, and an extenfive
dealer in Kent lately imported level al tons of Car-
lingford and other celebrated bulb cyfters, which
he laid down in the beds of the bell Engin natives,
about Milton, Favertham, and Whettlaple : the
died of this union has greatly exceeded his expec-
tation, the produce being greater than heretofore,
and of confiderubly improved flavour.
Num Rao s Paoc IN Y.—During the reign of the
late Emprefs CATHERINE, of Rutlia,a labouring
man, named KIRI LOFT, had come to Pcterfburgh,
where he excited the attention of all ranks and de-
fcriptions of perfons, from the number of his chil-
dren thas followed him through the streets ; the
furprife was infinitely increafed, when it was under- ,
Rood they were all his own begetting. Several per-
lons of rank made him prefents, &firing to know
whether the children who daily followed him
through the firms were really his own, or whe-
ther the report to that effca was only a fabrica-
tion ? KIRI LOFT replied they were all his own, and
that he verily believed that he was the father of
every one of them. He added that he had been
married twice, and that his firft wife had been
brought to bed four times, with four children at
each birth ; feven times with three, and ten times
with two ; that his fecond wife had not been quite
lo fruitful, though the brought him three children
at the fiat birth, and two at fix different times af-
terwards, making in the whole 72 children. The
fame of K RI LOFT loon reached her Majefty, when
the immediately gave order• to fee the man who
had ferved his country In well, and had produced
her fo many fuhjeas. An interview took place,
with the particulars of which we do not prefume
to be acquainted; though the Milk was a prefent
of 500 rubles, and an annuity for life.

A ftrange, and we hope fingular circumtlan,:e
occurred a few years fince at Cremona in Italy:
A woman of celebrity, retiding at that place, and
who was known to have married a man of pro-
perty, was accufed, in contiquence of his long at,.
fence, of having anal iced his death, the better to
enjoy the illicit intercourfe of another man. Se-
veral examinations took place, in which her con'
duft appeared In tUfpic ions that the was threatened
with the torture, the fear pf which induced her to
confefs a crime fhe had never committed. The
Judge condemned her accordinly,and the poor in-
nocent fuffered death. About hve or fix days after
her execution the hu Palnd arrived, having been kept'
three years in livery by the Algerines, who had
made him prifoner. He enquired after his wife,
and loon learned her unjult accufation and unfor-
tunate death. In the paroxylm of his anguilh he
appeared before her accuiers and her
.judge, up.
braiding them for their cruelty and inpaice, but
inticad of gaining conlatt ion for the wrongs done
to his wife, they treated him asan infili-
ing that the real hufband had been murdered, and
th.tt the deceafed Wa3 guilty, and condemned Mm
to perpetual bauifhment for his impious conclat in
fuppofing the judge to be tapablegaeling wrong.
