Cr:nous NOVELTY.-A man who holds- a small
farm near St. Alban's, and who has ever been looked
upon as a most eccentric being, made his entrée into the
latter place ini Saturday last, in the following manner,
viz. mounted on a small car, which was actually
drawn by four large hogs ! He entered the town at a
brisk trot, amidst the acclamations of hundreds, who
were soon drawn together to witness this strange and
uncommon spectacle. After making the tour of thef
market-place three or itair times, he came into the
Wool Pack yard, had his swinish cattle regularly un-
harnesied, and taken into a stable together, where they !
were regaled with a trough full of beans and wash.- '
They remained about two hours in the town, during
which time be dispatched his business as usual at the
market, when they were ag.tin put to, and driven i
home again, multitudes cheering him to the very end'.
of the place. 'fins man has only had these animals
under training six months, and it is really truly sur-
prising to what a high state of docility and tractabi•
lity he has brought them. A Gentleman on the spot
offered him 450 for the concern as it stood, but it
was indignantly refused.

A GREAT EVEN F FOR ENGLAND.
1111 INYCTIIATL INTERNAL ENEMY ARIUS-MI.

MANY laudable attempts have heretofore been
made in vain to arrest our Great Internal Enemy, viz.
CONSUMPTLON (by Foreigners called England's Plague),
Twenty Thousand Persons having fallen under its tyranny an-'
nually, for centuries past—a tact allowed by the faculty. What
people in general consider very lightly, namely a Common Cold
and Cough, has usually been the primary cause, as such, what-
ever will ieck Cough effectually, should be speedily resorted to,
as it is better to prevent than to cure.—Mr. MADDEN, the
Proprietor of the VEGETABLE ESSENCE, for the Preven-
tion and Care of Consumption, Asthma, and the very many
Pulmonary Complaints, comprehending also the !looping Cough,
the destroyer of Children, feels it a duty incumbent on hint to
urge the Public at large to a speedy adoption of it In cases of
Cough —He has k.pt an open Dispensary for the last live Years,
for the Benefit of the Poor, in which time he hat had the grati-
fication to relieve three 'llenusand Persons; and can with, truth
say, that it has never yet failed of giving speedy telitf lu arias
of Cough, however severe.
RECENT CASES :
From Mr. THOMAS Anse, No. 11, Orange-street, Red lion-
square.
" SIR-1 feel it a duty incumbent oil me to acknowledge with
gratitude the efficacy of your Vegetable Essence on behalf of my
wife, who was afflicted with a periodical cough for tell years,
which baffled all medical aid, ant b-came increasingly worse,
which fiad reduced her to a mere shadow, till at length, in a
very providential way, she heard of your medicine, and after
taking one bottle found great relief, and continuing to take it
agreeably to your directions, her cough has entirely left her. I
should have wrote before (her cough having been removed for
more than eighteen months) but have waited to see if it would
return; and finding it does net, I can nn longer refrain returning
my most grateful thanks; and may you live to witness a similar
case on thousands of your fellow-creatures, is the sincere prayer
of, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" THOMAS ABBY."
" No. 11, Orange-street, Red Lion-square, May 13, 1811."
From Mr. J. )(externs, 3, East-street, Queen's-square.
" SIR-1 feel great pleasure in acquainting you, that your Ve.
getable Essence alone has happily relieved my servant, Mats
Clark, from a very troublesome constitutional cough, with which
she has been afflicted, by her account, these.last 'even years. I
beg you to accept my sincere thanks for your grneriMs assistance
to her, and If you think proper to publish this core, I feel it my
duty to give my verbal testimony to any inquirer. I am, Sir,
your most obedient servant, J. XEMENEE."

will only add, that a single tea spoonful of this invaluable pre-

taste it is as pleasant as white wine—and that objects of charity

bad the misfortune to lose a topaz . , which
next morning employed the town-crier to proclaim
through the streets with a suitable reward ; but whe-
ther from the illegibility of the writing, O. the mis-
conception of this public orator, he called it a topmast
brat, which he thought more congenial to the vicinity
of the element where the loss was sustained !—A few
years since the crier at the same place was ordered to
proclaim a reward for the discovery of a couple of black
and while slier litcha, which Colonel Vivian ( then re-;
sident there) had lost, but from the crier's incapacity
to decypher the hand-writing, and his little know-
ledge of the canine race, after puzzling himself for a
long time, he construed couple to mean a pair, and ,
thus proclrtmed the Colinicl's misfortune, " Lon a
pair of black and while satin breecia," which could not
fail to excite the risibility of the company assembled
at that well-frequented bathing-place, more especially ,
as the reference for reward was to be made personally
to the Colonel himself, who was much quizzed for the '
singularity of his supposed May apparel.
CtoNmEL, OCTOBIER 16.—Sunday morning last,
, after divine service, a violeat attack was made in
Carrick-on-Suir, on four or five labouring men, who
a
had come from the county Kerry to work in that
neighbourhood. They were assailed by about twelve
persons, with sticks and stones, who alleged that it
was their object to drive them out of the country, as
they were in the habit of turning informers, and de-
preciating the price of labour. Two of the Kerrymen,
named Hanton, received different cuts in their heads.
The affray would have been more serious, had it not
been for a party of the North Mayo militia, who hap-
az:o come up at the time, and took one of the
imo ciatody.
