Mr. DUNDAS gave a grand entertainment yef-
terday at Wimbledon, in compliment to Mr. PITT,
who completed the 42d year of his age.
Mr. PELHAM is about to be married to Lady
MARY OSBORNE, lifter to the Duk& of LEEDS.
Lord PELHAM 'gives up his town houfc in Sutton,.
Itreet, Piccadilly, to his fon, and retires to live
wholly hi the country.
Lord BoßimaDom gave a grand Dinner yeller-
day, at his houfe in Hill.ftreet, Berkeley-fquare,
at which were piefent the PRINCE of WALES, the
Dues of YORK. and EARL CHATHAM, &c.
From the trial on Weinefday in the Court of
King's Bench, it appears that casting and trim. con.
have formed a itrange, uncouth and unnatural
conneftion." Initead of mere pagan vows, a mart
talks of raying his prayers ; and, instead
of invoking Cupid, he fpeaks of addreffing PRO-
VIDENCE. We believe fuch abfurdity, impiety and
orofligacy nev v were before exhibited.
Of all the Syftems. Plans, and Propofals to
which the Scarcity has given rife, none promife
en greatly as that of the Secretary of the Board of
Agriculture, for applying the Waite Lands to t le
upport of the Poor Ihe numerous Cafes he hat
publilhed, of (mall allotments, with a cow to
.ach, keeping families from the pari(h who were
heavily burthenrome before they received fuch af.
:fiance, are extraordinary proofs of the efficacy
of this
Our Correfpondent (who the other day obferved
the remarkable coincidence of the fentiments of
.Ir. Bovo, and the Author of the Purfuits of Li-
ierature, on the iloppage of Iffues of Specie at the
Bank) might have brought many Other examples
io iiipport of his general pofition —That discove-
ries derive additional weight from being made by
men of ability, unknown to each other. Mr.
' Boni himfclf gives fuch an example at p. 7S, 2d
Edition, where he mentions the (hiking coinci-
l-nee of the evidence, on Come very abitraft quer-
dons, 'delivered before a Committee of the Lords,
by himfelr and HENRY THORN TON', Efq. who were
then unknowti to each other. Dr. KRILL tells us,
that Sir C. Wass and M. Hl:roams, each with-
' oat knoiving whai the other had been doing, com-
municated, at the fame time, to our Royal So-
ciety, the laws of.percunion in elaitic
Thus alto, NEWTON and Laramie& are held,
by fame, to have feparately and independently
difcovered the method of Fluxion:. And, to
give an inßance more analogous to Mr. Bova's
fubjeft, and the unworthy' "treatment he has
experienced, we have been well informed, that
the late excellent awl Tockia wrote his Cui
Oaf and Dr. ANDERSON his intereß of Great
Britain with regard to America, without any mu-
tual communication or even puff; nal acquaintance.
Yet their doctrines ate the fame. They both en-
deavoured to prove, that America, far from pro-
' owing (as was then the creed of the great vulgar
as well as the (mall), unfpeakably impeded the
profperity of Great Britain, and that a peaceable
reparation was an event devoutly to be witted by
the latter country. This was treated as a wild
paradox, both by the Minillry and the Oppofition
of that day. But what was the refult Why that
both the able writers lived to fee their opinions
verified, by a very great, and, to all men but them-
felves and their Lw followers, unaccountable, in-
creafe of the manufAanres, commerce, and Air
ping of this country, site r her neck was happily
dfrarrasZerrd of that ponderous mill-gone America!
