There is a well in Grand Cairo of the aftoniflt-
Mg depth of 176 feet, and 6o feet in circumfer-
ence; it is cut in a folid rock, and oxen are em-
ployed in drawing up the water, which is very plen-
-61111 at all times, and of a fine puie quality. This
plat is called joreph's Well, taken from a Grand

In the town of Northampton, a negro, named
Manatce; aged'a_.years, began about fevers years
ago to lore his native colour. A white fpot appeared
on the right fide of his belly, which is now about
as large as theipalnis of two hands. Anqfher
white fpot:has appeared on his breally, and fovetal
more on his arms and other ;lam, and thefable
cloud is plainly dirappearing on his fhoulder. The
change is not to the dead white of the Albinos,
but to the good who:efome carnation hue.
On Tiiefday fe'nnight, at Braneepeth, two bats
were accidentally caught-in the hollow of an anci-
ent Oak; and being brought into the cattle as a
curiofity, were put under a glafs-cafe for an hour
or two; when one of them was delivered of a
young one, which immediately on its birth ap-
peared very waive, and clang to the mother's
breaft, where it teemed to continue as if in the as
of fucking. This incident proves beyond a doubt
that the bat is not oviparous as has been fome-
times thought; and though it flies as a bird, it has
been properly ranked by naturalifts among the
ties of quadrupeds.
The partridges this year are uncommonly nu-
merous and forward.

were run by two pqpies, which are laid to have
been equal to any thing teen at Newmarket. The

It rained very hard during the firft heat of the
races at Tenbury on Wednefday lilt week. Three
of the !tortes, through millake, ran once round the
courfe more than they might to have done. Mr.
Bartley's grey colt, by Overton, fell in the firft
heat, yet raved his diftance.
Mr. CONCAN NON'S Sir Harry is matched againft
Lord Sacxvitte's Warter, the.laft mile, at the
next Brighton Races, on the firft day, soon h. ft.
This match arofe out of the race for the King's
Plate at Wincbcfter, la 4 week. Warter and Sir
Harry each won one of the two firft heats, after
which the third borfe that ran was drawn, and the
two former were left to decide the prize between
themselves. The jockies both were linguine of
wiiningeand thought it would be the belt for the
horfekto walk the firft three miles and three quar-
ters of the courfe, and make a burft for the laft
quarter of a mile. This they did, and the ftruggle
was ardent and equal. They came in fo clolely
together, that the rider of Warter thought he had
won, and raid, he could have won, had he known
there was occalion to be more forward. This gave
rife to fome.difpute, which ended in the match at
Brighton.

On the 6th ult. Tome Sportfmen belonging to

mon flee and ftrength. Seventeen perfons had been
recently devoured by it. This terrible animal,
which was 5 feet long and 32 inches high, refem-
bled a greyhound in the body : its head and neck
were nearly white, its muzzle long and pointed,
and ks Ihotilders covered with thicker and longer
hair than that of ordinary wolves.

bocroßs COMMONS, JULY 7.

BEFORE SIR WILLIAM WYNNE.

CRIM. CON.

This teas a fuit indituted by Ann Kirby againft
Francis Kirby, Efq. her hufband, for a reftitution
of conju ;al rights. The Defendant pleaded, that
his wife had been guilty of adultery ; and the wife
retorted the accufation. The cafe was altopper
of a very uncommon complexion ; but as it was
not finally determined, we (hall not enter fo fully
into the detail of it, as otherwile we thould have
done. It appeared the parties had raided formerly
at a place called Wintcrbrook, from whence Mrs.
Kirby had eloped, in confequence, as the inferred
in her allegations, of the Defendant's conduct to
1 wards her. After a confiderable abfence, the com-
menced there proceedings, to compel her hufband
to cohabit with her. To repel her fuit, he charged
her with ads of adultery with a perfon of the name
of Bonchee ; and alto, with a Mr. Froin ; and Wi-
ly, with a Captain Matter. With relped to the
latter, it was alledged, that the Captain ufed to
come down to his houfe in his abfence, and pre-
tending before the fervants that he was fud&nly
taken ill, would regneft leave to retire today down;
that the Lady, pitying his Rate, would defire the
bed to be got ready for him, and then attend him
herfelf, with fame warm tettorative ; that the was
generally a very confiderable period ufing her be-
nevolent endeavours to foothe and confole him,
and that upon fuch occafions the bed afterwards
exhibited marks of diforder not altogether ittflify-
ing the idea of a tingle perfon in a weak Rate of-
body having lain in u; that, after her Samaritan
difpofition had been exercifed for two or three
hours, and the had poured the oil of afiedion into
the Captain's wounded foul, he generally rofe fie&
as the vernal morn. The Captain was fo often
tick, fo often put to bed, and fo often attended by
his fair Hygeia, that the fufpicion of the hufband
was arotifed, and he pretended to have had con-
firmation of his dilhonour Prong as holy writ.—
Thus tar the hufb.ind's allegation. The Madona
alledged. that, prior to her nuptials, her hutband
was enamoured of a young Son/Irma named Sarah
Parfons, then in her fervice ; that the difmiffed Sa-
rah as a matter of courfe ;, but that her hutband,
after the honey-moon was paffed, frequently figh-
ed for and lamented the lots of his tweet Sally Par-
lous ; lamented fhe had been turned away ; fought
htr, found her, and placed her as an apprentice to
a mantra-maker at Reading, frequently vifited
anti went out with her, and took efpecial care that '
her time fhould not be altogether paired in mantua-
making. There were a variety of allegations, con-
taining other chargesof incontinence and infidelity.
Sir WILLIAM Wywse fioke at great length up-,
on the probable effect of there crofs allegations,
fuppofing they Were reciprocally proved ; but not
conceiving that to have been the cafe, he directed
a further inquiry, and poßponed the bufinefs, for
future conTideration.
