A Mr. HAWKINS, 4 New York, has conftrated
a Lew mufical int-tn.:rent which he calls the Cla•
viol. The ninfic is produced from gut Brings by
horfe hair how, and is played with finger-
keys like the harplichoid. The tones which this
inurement produces, are Rated to pi •ffels the fweet-
ne!-; of the harmonica, the richnefs of the violin,
and the grandeur of the organ.
At the lower parts of a hill fltuated near the
city of Atena, in Naples, many fiffures have been
lately perceived, which more or leis emit flames
and tinoke, and ionic difcharge quantities of lava,
which run into the neighbouring valley. Th:
land furrounding this lull is barren and Roney,
and incapable of growing vegetables. Phylicians
and Mineralogills have been fent by Governmtnt
to examine the place, who have reported, in the
tirß intlance, that they have found citcumaances
furpafling any thing hitherto met with in their re-
fraiche!.

A few days finee a fire broke out in the dwel-
ling houfe of Mr. Long, farmer, of Clinger, near
Durfley ; but by the early atfillance of an engine,
and the exertions of the neighbours, it WAS happi-
ly got under, after deQruying only a part of the
buitoing. The conflagration is fuppo:ecl to have
been occaftoned by lame fparks falling on the
thatch, from an adjoining chimney. Mr. Long,
and one of his forts, were match hurt while em-
ployed in rescuing their property from the flames.
On Sunday hit a tire broke out at the boa.? of
Mr. Godwin, a currier, in Calile-ditch, Britlol.—
Mr. Godwin, after being in bed fome time, was
awakened by the cries of his children, whollept in
an adjoining room with the maid fervant. He in-
Randy got up, and on opening the bed room door,
difcovered the curtains of the bed wherein his
children lay to be in flames : he fnatclied them
from their danger, together with the ii:rvapt, who
was Rill afleep, and having almoft immediately
obtained the atliiiance of others in the houfe, he
miraculoufly fucceeded in preferving the premifes,
after throwing the lighted furniture and clothes in-
to the (tree. This difaflcr was occafioned by the
negligence of the maid, who had placed the candle
in a chair by her bed fide, which had burnt down,
and by fome means fet fire:to her clothes. and com-
municated to the bed furniture.

It teems a prevalent fafition among certain
Ladies to take with them, when they witAt abroad,
children of either fex, from the age of two and
three to fix or feven. We do not attempt to di•
vine the objea of this cullom ; but the evil it trua
produce on fociety is evident. The children a-e
rarely their own, but generally the offspring of in-
digent parents, who, either from urgent dillt efs,
or a total abilraaion from moral duties, coalign
their haplefs infants to there daughters of levity,
by whom they are loon initiated into all the prac-
tices of iniquity ; and being taught that virtue is
their enemy, conceive a hatred for it, till in the
end they become callous to all good, and armed
with every artifice of vice, are let loofe upon the
world.

On Wednefday fe'nnight a young man bathing
in the river, near Perth, unfortunately went beyond
his depth, and being unable to Beim went down.
A good many minutes elapfed before any a fEllance
could be rendered him; and when the exertions
of a young man, who was fortunat:ly precut at
the time, had fucceeded in bringing him to a bank,
no ligns of life were vifible. Blankets and reilora-
tives were immediately brought_ from a gentle.
man's houfe in the neighbourhood; and although
half an hour elapfed before medical aftance could
be procured we have the pleafure to add, that by
ufing the methods prefcribed by the Humane So-
eictv, he was oerfeitly recovered. _
