The town of Brixton, in the Ifle of Wight, was on
Tuefday fe'nnight thrown into much coact-n*lkm,
by the arreltation of a Spy ! he was taken near the
Beacon, in the very aa of taking a general furvey of
the country round. Information being given, a file of
fix Men, firongly armed, loon fucceeded in fecurini
hire ; they matched him near two miles, to the Com-.
mending Officer, through the alarmed neighbour.
hood ; upon examination and (catch, he was found
to have cimccaled about him oath* night cop, and a
difcharge from a Volunteer Corps ; and proving him-
Mit° be a working jeweller, of Southampton, upon
* Sunday excurfion, he was not feverely plunked.
Signor Rot:mace, who lately died fo miferably
poor at St.xiths, near Whi•br, firfk appeared in Lon-
don about twenty-five years ago, at Brellaw's :
Hie exhibition confined of tutored birds. A nuns-
b.r of lit:le birds to the amount, we believe, of
to dee nr f-auteen, being taken from-different cages,
Mitre placed upon a table in the prefence of the feec-
tatoit, and there formed themfelves into ranks, like
a company of ioldiers. Small cones of paper, bear
ing fame refemblance to iirenadiers caps, were put
upon their heads, and diminutive imititions of mill:.
• ketronade of wood, fecured under their left wings.
Thus equipped, they marched to and fro Cenral
times, when a fingle bird was brought forward, fop-
' poled to be a &fitter, and fet between fix of the muf-
keteers, three in a row, who concluded him from :he
top to ilie bottom of the table ; on the miudle of which
a fin ill brafs cannon, charged with a little gunpowder,
had been previnufly laced;p and the deferter ,was
Ciliated in the front of the cannon. His guards then
divided; three retiring on one fide, and three on the
other, and he was left !landing by himfelf. Another
bird was immediately produced ; and a lighted match
btir7, put into one of his claws, he hopped boldly on
the other to the tail of the cannon, and applying the
match to the priming, difcharged the piece without
the leatl appearance of fear or agitation. The mo-
ment the explofion took place, the deferter fell down,
and lay apparently motioolefs, like a dead bird; but,
at the command of his tutor, he rofe again. The cages
being brought, the feathered foldiers were Rripped of
their ornaments, and returned into them in perk& or.
der. Alter he quitted Breflaw, his next performance
confined in counterfeiting the notes of all kinds of
finging birds. When he affumed the name of Rof-
fignol, pfruf. Nightingale)'and appeared on the flag!
at Covent Garden Theatre, where, in addition to his
imitation of the birds, lie executed a Concerto on a fid-
dle without firings ; that is, he made the notes in a
wonderful manner with his voice, and teprefented
the bowing, by drawing a (mall truncheon backwards
and I,s wards over a aringlefs violin. His perforio-
ance was received with great applaufe ; and the fuo-
cefx he Pitt with produced many competitors, but
none of than equalled him. It was, however, dif-
covered, that the founds were produced by an infiru-
mcnt, contrived for the purpofe, concealed in the
mouth, and then the trick loft all its reputation.

The ffillmring interelling occurrence can be well
authenticated.—A Gentleman, who early gained a
Share of a Capital Prize in the laft Lottery, Immedi-
ately expended a hundred Pounds of it is chances
for the remaining great Prizes in the Wheel. His
fpirit of enterprize rewarded him with an additional
Qpiter of one of the zo,ocol. Capitals. What an
enconragentent for this plan of conduit is the prefent
fupreme Scheme, wherein the very Firit Drawn
Numbe, prefents a Prise of ro,oool. The early at.
taintrent of to great a Prize may, by emulating the
above example, I.ty a foundation for much greater
fta.:cefi in the fame Lottery.
If there could be any feather evidence needful to
th.m..nflrate the unrivalled excellence of Canto's
Patent AV.iRM L 01.01053, it would be unqueftionably
ellabitil..d by a late calculation, which afcertains that
