The piece of plate presented to Mr. Cooac by
the Liverpool Managers is a cup; certainly a
very appropriate return for the bumpers with

A letter from Amsterdam, dated. the 4th in.
slant, contains the following intelligence:—" Two
American vessels, the Friendship, Captain STAN.
TONI from New York, and the Harmony, from

privateers, within the last outward buoy, in the
Texcl, and retaken by a sloop dispatched by the
Dutch men of war stationed on the coast. The

A bean feast nas given last week to the men
belonging to an eminent carpet manufactory at
Wilton. After the cloth was removed a toast was
given, " May the staple manufacture of Wilton
be trod under foot by the public," which was

On Monday morning an eminent farmer from
the upper part of Hampshire, brought his whole
stock of pigs, consisting of 78, together with
three horses, to Southampton, to be dipped in the
salt water, on suspicion of some of them having
been bitten by a mad terrier dog. He underwent
the same process himself, with two of his men.
The dippers went through the business with their
usual dexterity ; and they challenge any one to
adduce an instance where this practice has failed.
We observe with pleasure, that a Remedy for
the Epilepsy, or Falling Sickness, Convulsion
Fits, &c. has been discovered by a Medical Gen.
deem' of the present day, which is stated to us to
be au absolute specific for those dreadful disor-
ders. Though the Inventor, whn is now practis_
ing with great success, wishes to extend so happy
a discovery throughout the kingdom, yet it is not
his inclination to thrust it frequently on the notice
of the Public iu the way that common Medicines
are advertised...therefore the Public will do well
to pay due attention to his advertisement in the
last page of this Paper.

DEAFNESS.—The many extraordinary Cures erected
by Dr. TAYLOR.' REMEDY for this Complaint Ihr
most harmless and inoormet vreparation that was ever applied
to that tender organ the Ear), induces us to furnipit our
Readers with the following parlieulars out of the common
mode of advertisements.

We find, by a letter dated .flay 20, 1809 (in addition to a
volume of cases, which hat been published, and may he had
of all the venders of medicine, clearly demonstrating the un-
commonly Meadow powers of Dr. Taylor's Remedy), that
a Lady of great tespectabllity, in the town of Stafford, olio
bad for a length of time been affected with extreme Deafness,
was fortunate enough to be recommesded to that preparation;
and after esiag a small portion of one bottle, she was com-
pletely cured, sad now fears its well as any penis° living.
fo satisfy the public, any inquiry respecting this case will be
answered (if post paid) by Mr. Nlorgan, Printer, Stafford,
the retail Vender m that Borough. But if any proof be
wanting of the wonderful efficacy of this mild and simple
Remedy to the cure of a malady which has baffled the skill
of the most eminent Medical Men, that proof may be had on
application to Mr. Lee, the Publisher of that respectable
Newspaper, ' The Save: Weekly Advertiser', printed al
Lewes. One of the ernes which came under the observation
of Mr. Lee, was the sea of Mr. 'friend!, of Cbiddiugly Park,
who was deprised of his bearing by a scarlet ferer.at the age
of three years, a misfortune which he laboured under till the
age of twelve, during which period divers applications had
been resorted to in vale; happily, however, he ens perfectly
eared by the above Remedy, and the Boy's Mother leas since
acknowledged to Mr. Lee, that no peesoiary considerat
could have afforded her the satisfaction which she felt in hav-
' hag perused the paper that possessed her of the knowledge of
inch as inestimable remedy.
