nit N.—The noble motion Of Naniwydden, the feat
of the Rev. Mr. HoBLYN, near St. Columb, was to-
tally confirmed by fire on Wednefday night lad. It
originated in the pantry, by the carcletfnefs of a boy
fervant, who was in the pantry In late as it o'clock.'
About twelve, a man fervant, who flept in the lower
part of the houfe, perceived a throng fmell of fire, and
alarmed his mailer's fen, who alarmed his father, in
time to fave Lhemfelves; but, without any means to
check the devouling element, they food to witnefs
the conflagration. Which in a very few hours dellroy-
ed a hone and furniture the had cod upwards of
twenty-five thoufand pounds. Mr. ROBLIN was for-
tunate en 'ugh to preferve his books and papers; and
his fervants, who exerted themfelves in the mowbay.
in evinguilbing the flakes of fire as they fell, hap
pily preterved the flacks of corn from the common
ruin. There was not a penny infurcd.

The King's Evil, which derived its name from the
faith in a royal p:ece of Myer, was a remedy which
carried medicine into Gothic obfeurity. Re tfon and
Phylle acquiring a more refpeftable footing, defiroy-
ed the belief in charms; and in Charles's reign, the
refpenahle Wifeman gave a method of cure on ra
tional principles of pranise. In the glands Scrophu-
la generally fixes, and thole more efpeeially about
the leek and throat, obftruning the Abfortient glands,
and thole appropriated for the faliva, and the fenf•
of tatting. Srit.sauty's AartscoasurtcDaors in-
creafe the glandular anion, and for that rearm; have
been preferred in cafes of fcrophula. In ferophulous
difeafes of the lkin it produces to free a circulation of
the perfpiration, and other necelfary fecretions, that,
as a remedy in o►grunions of this kind it is unequal.
