A grand Sight and Unique of its Kind.

The celebrated CONNUS,
FATHER and SON,
PHYSICIANS and MATHEMATICIANS,

After having travelled and exhibited in all the Courts of Europe, had the honour of thwering before his Majestี้, the Queen, and all the Royal Family at Verfailles, on the 23d, 25th, and 30th of January, 1789, when their uncommon Talents procured them the univerial applaue of the Gallic Court; applaufes which induced them to exhibit with no trifling advantage in the City of Paris.

Ever defirous to display their extraordinary Talents before a generous Public, they will have the honour to exhibit

The Amphibious Monfier which committed fuch Depredations in Pérou, accompanied by the two communicative Dials; the Column of So-o-mon; the King and Queen of Morocco; Automaton Pieces, which will anfwer to any question propofed, cannot fail to infure the plaudits of the Public.—The Ziegag, the Mofaic, and more than an hundred and fifty other wonderful Tricks, both agile and phytical. The grand Equisiriby, the famous Trick of the Egg, the flying Piece, and fome others which were never feen in England are now, for the firſt time, prefented to the diſeerning Public.

Mr. Connes will play Piquet with an handkerchief about his eyes, and gain the game in any fuit of the cards. They flatter themselves to be the only perſons who know this fecret, and requeſt, if agreeable, the public to bring and mark the cards before they handle them. They have the fame knowledge of every game, whether depending on chance or other- wife. They will break ſeveral pieces of Gold and Silver, and make them a-new; they will alſo flew the curious many other tricks, the detail of which will be fuperfluous. At each representation fomething new will be prefented.

The Mefieurs Connes will exert their endeavours to merſure the ſuffrages of their audience, and gratefully acknowledge the liberality of the Public.

Mr. Connes intends no longer exhibiting in Public, but anticipates the honour of waiting on ſuch Ladies and Gentlemen as will honour him with a Line, addreffed to him at No. 31, Hay-market.

They repreſent at all hours by giving an hour's notice.

ANIMAL MYANAGY, EPIGRAM.

" Can Animal Magnetifm, as preſcribed by Dr. Yelland and Dr. Milsamian-bury, Mrs. Louthaburg, and others, be ſup- ported on the rational Principles of found Philosophy? or is it, according to the Report of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, a more Impure cauſation to receive the cudiouſus?"

The Managers having received the following Letters, think it their duty to ſubmit it to the Public, at the face time, either from the Writer, that no threats, or ſhall ever deter them from expending Impoffures, confuſing useful Obſe- vietze. They therefore are determined to debate the above Quæſtion, agreeable to their prouſe, on this evening.

"Is the Man of Science the City Deafeneſs."
"I am a Professor of that Civil Science of Preſent Knowledge, Animal Magnetifm: If you confume to believe its ſublime Mysteries, I will attend, with others of the Art, and place your Chairman, and every other who ſaſſes, under Magnificence. Inconceivable, it shall not be deſaſſed. Tremble! I will fit your whole Society to stopp: You're E. Y."

Some speculative adventurers lately ſent out three veſſels in ballast for the exprefu purpose of loading back with ice; one of which veſſels is now actually returned with 100 tons of that ena- luable article of commerce; and what is fill more incredible, the ice has been bought up with great avidity, at the price of ten pounds per ton. We are not certainly informed under what denomina- tion the above cargo was entered at the Cottum- Houſe; but the ad ſignores duties on unenumer- ated articles are about 27 and a half per cent.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
R. WILLIAM PARKER, M.D., leave to inform his Friends and the Public in general, he is removed from Crown-fleet, Hoxton-Quay, to No. 5, Science-Roy, Upper-Moorfield, where he continues to practice and teach the principles of the Science.
His days for instruction are Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturday. To begin precisely at five o'clock, and end at seven.

Mr. PARKER having had experience in the practice of the above Science, for upwards of four years, is confident that it is wholly unnecessary to extend to a multiplicity of Lectures to confirm a Theory, which in reality requires but one.

This Science, as taught by Mr. PARKER, and which can be acquired in one afternoon, tends to entertain the mind and refine the understanding, as well as to relieve the pain and maladies peculiar to the body. While the Philosophy of it accounts for all theber's occurrences in human life, that cannot be accounted for by any other means.

Inquiries, to two Gents each person.
N. B. A Gentleman and his wife will be admitted as one person, and every pupil considered as perpetual.

Society will be enjoyed, but no adult not bound required.

Mr. P. having engaged a Gentleman to act him, he finds himself able to accommodate those friends to the Science who live at a distance from London.
Cliffs of four persons and upwards, will be waited upon within 10 miles.

Six persons and upwards, within 10 miles.

Ten persons and upwards, within 100 miles.

Fourteen persons and upwards, within 150 miles.

Twenty persons and upwards, within 200 miles.

Thirty persons and upwards, in any part of England, Scotland, and Wales.

Any Gentlemen in the country that takes upon himself this trouble to collect a company as specified above, will, with his wife and a friend, be entitled to the inculpious free from expence.
No Magpie or any Apparatus, is used in this Science.

Mr. P. takes this opportunity of informing those Ladies and Gentlemen who have attended his former Lectures, that as the Science is in its infancy, new discoveries are continually made; therefore he will be happy in their further assistance, that they may communicate from improvements to them.

We are affur'd, that Mr. John Coan, the famous Norfolk
Dwarf, who has had the Honour to be seen by his Majesty
at St. James's Palace, and by the Princes Dowager of
Wales, Prince George, Prince Edward, and the rest of her
Royal Highness's Family at Leicestershire, the Royal
Society, and moft of the Nobility and Gentry in London,
will be exhibited, during the Time of Bartholomew-Fair,
in a commodious Room at the Swan Taven, on the Paved
Stones, Weft-Smithfield. He will appear in a Huffay's
Dress that he were only on his Majesty's Birth-Day.

During the Time of Bartholomew-Fair, the Town will
be agreeably entertain'd with the following particular Per-
formances, in the large Concert Room at the Swan Taven
on the paved Stones, Weft-Smithfield. First, the African
Prince or Negro will go through his Arms backwards or for-
wards, he likewise does several extraordinary Performances
on a large Fiddle String. Alto there is two Youth
from the Highlands of Scotland, the clef of which will
perform a Highland Dance, and balance a Straw on his
Nole all the Time. Likewise the noted Mr. Cook, Pupil
to the famous Turk, juft arrived from abroad, who wailes
and balances on the Wire whilst in full Swing; likewise
put a Straw on his Foot, toffes it from thence to his Face,
from his Face to his Shoulders, from his Shoulders to his
Face, from his Face to his Foot, from his Foot to his Face
again, and keeps it in a Balance the whole Time; plays
with twelve Balls, which no Man in England ever did be-
files himself. Moaf. Timberfoe, from the Opera-Houfe
at Paris, will perform as uful. *D. A. June 5, 1745.*

Whatever is in itself good will always make its Way, al-
though not uther'd into the World by pompous Paragraphs,
or Pageant-like Puffs. As an Example of this Truth, the
Undertakers of the New Wells near the London Spay beg
Leave to assure the Town, face Forwarding Audiences been
have pleated to encourage their Enthusiasts, they intend
to double their Pains, and hope for a Continuance of Fa-
vour. This Week's Entertainment will conſift of ſeveral
new Performances, by Mifs Rayner, Mifs Lincoln, Mr.
Brett, Mr. Williams, &c. The God of Wine and Deity
of Wit have long gone Hand in Hand, and to keep both
alive the bet Way is to blend them; therefore for the Re-
ception of the Curious they have provided the beſt of both
their Productions; and as Varieties in Nature are as
pleasing as thofe of Art, the greatest that now can beſtawn
is every Evening to be ſeen at their Wells, viz. a young
Coloſſus, who, though not ſixteen, is ſeven ſeet four Inches
high, and has drawn more Company this Season than ever
was known before, and muſt convince the World, that the
antient Race of Britons is not extirpated, but we may yef
hope to ſee a Line of Giant's-kicks Heros.

A Correfpondent has favoured us with the following information, relative to the musical phenomenon, laſt spring introduced at the Queen's Concerto—Mifs Sally Carver, the daughter of a Mr. Carver, a reſpectable Mercer in Liverpool, is rather past her eighth year, and little for that age—in performing, the unavaſable one—in immortality talte: this reſquie can only be confered by a ſenibility incompatible with her preſent years. Her execution is not to be conceived by any who have not been witnessſes of it, and this, with a hand ſo ſmal, as to be ſuppoſed not capable of reaching the slave. Mifs C— poſſeſes all those infantine graces and ſimplicity, which are ſo captivating at her years.

AUTHOR OF NATURE IS WONDERS, even in the least of the Works.

THE Sieur BORUWLAŚKI, the celebrated DWARF from Polonia Russia, now refilling in this capital, is beyond contradiction, the most adulating and positive Nature ever held out to the adulation of mankind.

He may jolly be the only progeny of the kind, that palk, penins, or perhaps future ages will ever bear. The historical page never recovers the page of his life, that could in any manner be compared to him.

BERRY, the Dwarf to the late King of Poland, that much talked of in the world was, in reality, greatly inferior to the Sieur BORUWLAŚKI. The latter in the year 1760, having had the honor to make some play at King Stanislaus's Court, Bebe could not bear the thoughts of so much jape-fiority; and it is the general opinion of his death, which happened soon after, that in some measure, he affected to be jealously concerned at being himself so greatly dissatisfied by being at it. His own success, so highly際 to his affection, has proved in Natural History are referred to the Encyclopaedia, the Dictionary of Montes de Bomarot, that of Physic, by a Society of Men of Letters, as those learned. Authors, under the article NARH, (Dwarf) draw a parallel, or rather point out the amazing difference between those two Dwarfs.

The Sieur BORUWLAŚKI, who is now in his 45th year, is the son of parents of a high stature, and who, of firstborn, have had alternately a tall one, and a Dwarf; all of them brought forth in due time, and in the general accident. The first was short, the second tall, the third a Dwarf, the fourth tall, and so on to the fifth.

His features are not only regular and well formed, but withal extremely engaging and attractive, and, in spite of his age, a child of three, or at most four years old. His shape equally well proportioned, his education, his qualifications, and talents especially for Modest and Charming, him from all other Dwarfs hitherto known, that he may jolly be thetil a GREAT MAN in MINIATURE; but what will appear to me no lesr remarkable, is that the Sieur Boruwski is married, and his Wife lately delivered of her second Child: but he shall may no more of this Wonder of Nature: let those who will honour him with their vifis judge for themselves.

He may be seen every day from Ten to Four, and from Six to Ten at Night, at his apartments, No. 29, opposite Brooke's, St. James's-shere.

Admission Fee: SELLINGS each Person.

N. B. Any person of rank and station, desirous of seeing him at their own homes, are required to favor him with an hour's notice, and lend him a carriage. His price should be possible, that is, Half-a-Gaines for each person in company.

The most wonderful, surprising and allomithing great Wonders and Wonders of Nature, which are beyond all description, are now to be seen at No. 22, Picnically, this and every Day, from Eight in the Morning till at Night, by Mr. KATTERFELTO's new Published Solar Microscope. Such extraordinary Wonders never were seen before in this or any other kingdom, but not exhibited as it was, imitated for several nights at the Theatre in the Haymarket, by Dr. Caterpillar, or Mr. Red Stockings, or Mr. Big Wit, or Mr. Little Wit; but

Mr. KATTERFELTO is very happy to inform the Nobility and Gentry, that since the arrival of Comte De GRASSE in this metropolis, he has, through that Nobility, received more company than their real nights than his room would hold, to fee his great wonders, and surprising, allomithing, and uncommon experiments.

The season of Comte De GRASSE taking each such great notice of Mr. KATTERFELTO was, because Comte De GRASSE took his father and him together when the former was Colonel of the Death's Head Hurlers, belonging to the Kling of Puffis, at the battle of Schwerin, in the year 1759; and Comte De GRASSE likewise is very fond of philosophy, as he has seen many curious experiments by Doctor Franklin at Paris, who spoke very much in favour of Mr. KATTERFELTO; and Comte De GRASSE lent for Mr. Katterfelto the fame morning he left London, and expensed to him, if he would come to Paris he would be a great friend to him, and he did not doubt but D. Franklin would be the fame where he would drive to make him exhibit before the King and Queen of France; and he was very forty that he did not hear of him according to his excommunication while in London; forbis Maister the King had for him, yet he hoped to fee Mr. Katterfelto in Paris in a short time.

Mr. Katterfelto's Evening Lecture begins at half past Seven o'clock, and after this Evening Lecture, he will diversely all the various arts on Dice, Cards, Billiards, and E O Tables.

Admission, front seats, 25c, second seats, 22c, and if the fun does not appear this day, he will舞 the Comp and Microscope, with his other various new apparatus at the same hours.

NOT unmindful of the FAVORS he has heretofore received from the LADIES and GENTLEMEN of BRISTOL, and its ENVIRONS, feels it incumbent on him to pay his Refpecls to them once more, before his Departure for the CONTINENT, which he purports taking in a very short Time.—He therefore respectfully informs thofe who may be difpofed to honour him with their Company during his short Stay in BRISTOL,—That he has taken an APARTMENT

THE Three wonderful Phenomena, known by the name of the CRAWS, which were at the left Weyhill Fair, intirely vifing this place and Devices. There are two Male and a Female, of a very small nature, being little kids or more than within, fome three, fome four, and fome five bals or hounds, as large as czees, and which play upwards and downwards in their eras, according as invited and forced, either by their speaking or laughing. The three most wonderful wild-pigs, Humer Bering, whole country, language, and pavilions, are yet unknown to all mankind, it is fuppoſed flarred in fome canoes from their native place, (believed to be unknown remote land in South America) and were pick'd up by a Spanish vessel, which in a violent storm was loſs, when the three people, and another of the fame kind, ſince dead, were providentially ſaved from perilling. At that period they were of a dark olive complexion, but which has allomithingly, by degrees, changed to the colour of that of Europeans.

The three truly furpriſing beings have attracted to them ſelvethemselves the moſt minute attention and great admiration of all the Princes, celebrated Anatomists and Naturals, to whom they have been preſented in Europe, for their rare and yet unknown ſuppeſets; and not ſoks, indeed, for their moſt apparent and furpriſing happiness and content among themselves, moſt endearing tracilablenſh and redſpeſive demeanor towards all ſtrangers, as well as for their unperſuadable, cheerful, lively and every thing in their moſt extraordinary diſpofitions, firing and dancing (in their moſt extraordinary way) at the will and piaſure of the company.

After the celebrated Mr. THOMAS ALLEN, the furpriſing small Man, and Mils MORGAN, the celebrated Windfor Fairy, known in London and Windfor by the addition of Lady Mor-gan.—They are in many ſpeciſes very superior to the celebrated Corſican Fairy, and the famous Foſh Count; the Lady being lower in nature, of much left weight; (only 18 pounds) infinitely furpriſing her bencvolens and intellectual qualities, and much more accomplished than the Corſean.—The little fellow is the prettiest and heſt made creature in the world; if the Count were his ſuperior, in address, knowledge, language, ſec. this little man is not left his ſuperior in native good ſente, mod ſity, ſen-fibility, and good humour; with a flow of spirits and bility that would not difſcourage the ſelf genins in the kingdom, who wifhed to be diſtinguished as a choice spirit, a table, a swain companion, and a pious bottle affectate.—The little Lady, we are affured, is actually very well ſupplied with the ſupplies of the natural world, and is, in another generation, ſec. a race of Dean Switt's little people among the Nobility; and then the prophecy, which has been ſo long predicted, will come to pass.—"The great full ſtand from steep helges, and become even a little children."

WILD BEASTS and BIRDS;
ALL ALIVE.
Is now exhibiting in a magnificent Caravan, in the Market Place, in this Town
The Two Noble
Mountain Lion Tigers,

Male and Female, from the River La Plate, near Cape Horn, South America.
These beautiful Animals are of a light brown, much resembling the Lion and Liones. They are
universally allowed to be the most wonderful productions of Nature, ever seen in the Memory of
Man, and are the only two of the kind in this kingdom: they are very affable and obedient to
their keepers, who frequently goes into their den and plays with them: and what is most par-
ticular, the female of these extraordinary Animals, brought forth a Young Cub, at Coventry,
on Monday, June 14, 1759, which is now to be seen with its dam; and what is still more
remarkable, (and will afford a high treat to the lovers of Natural History) this young stranger
does not resemble its dam, but is most beautifully streaked like the Bengal Tiger.

Alfo the Noble

BENGAL TIGER,

This magnanimous Animal needs no other recommendation than to behold him. It
is needles to enumerate the vaft variety of beautiful colours that adorn this Creature, as
our writers of Natural History have defcribed him as the most beautiful of Quadrupedes.

to their inſpection, (the ſpecies is rarely to be met with even in
America) exceeds in ſize and beauty, any animal of his kind and age.
The ſhape of his body ſemblenes that of an elegant horſe, which he ex-
cels in ſwiftnes, and in the fine appearance of his breaſt and ſhoulder.
His neck and head are flately beyond deſcription; the former meaſures
four ſeet in circumference; and he can, with eafe, reach nine ſeet two-
inches and upwards with his noſe. But what renders this remarkable
creature fill more curious is, his having two holes in his head, one un-
der each eye, reſembling a valve, through which he breathes and ſorts
occasionally, though not perceptibly, (being curiously cloſed up by lids
reſembling eye lids) unleſſs opened by the keeper, or himſelf.

Since the 31ſt of March, the Elk's Horns have grown out about a
yard in length, five ſeet wide, and twelve inches round the bottom of
each horn. There are ten branches, ſome above twenty-five inches long.

Several Curious PERFORMANCES on the
SLACK-WIRE,
With many curious BALANCES in FULL SWING,

By Mr. WILKINSON, from SADLER'S WELLS, and laft from ASTLEY'S
Amphitheatre Riding-Houſe, Westminſter-Bridge, LONDON,

Who has had the Honour of Performing before their Majesties and the Royal Family; and offers a Hundred Guineas to any Perfon who will perform the like; and particularly

He will SIT on a CHAIR on the WIRE, with a TABLE before him, with a BOTTLE, GLASSES, CANDLESTICKS, &c. on the full Swing.

Alfo several Select PIECES of MUSIC confifting of favourite Airs, Duets, Trios, Quartetts, &c.
On their improved and much admired

Double Set of MUSICAL GLASSES.

To ſpeak in Praife of their own Merit, as Performers, might poffibly ſubjeſt them to the Charge of an unbe-
coming Vanity, they leave that to the generous Sentiments of their Audience, yet they will venture to ſay this of their
Glauſes, that they are the only complete Double Set ever made Uſe of. —Mils Wilkinſon (a Sifter to Mr. Wilkinſon)
play'd on a Single Set at Sadler's Wells, ſeveral Seaſons, and gave univerſal Satisfaction; but theſe will admit of much
more extenſive Powers of Harmony, as all the Parts are performed at the fame Time by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinſon.

Together with that ſagacious ANIMAL,

The LEARNED ENGLISH DOG,

Which far exceeds any of this Kind ever ſeen, for his diligent Performances.

It is impoffible from the moſt elaborate Deſcription to form an adequate Idea of the ſurprifing Sagacity of this Animal. In him the Power of Inſtinct is ſo extremely ſtriking, that it ſeems ſuperior to Reaſon in many Inſtances. To mention all the Performances of this wonderful Creature would exceed the Compafs of this Bill, and to ſome Perſons might have the Appearance of Romance. —But the Curious may form ſome Judgment of his extraordinary Capacity, from the following Particulars : — This Phænomenon will ſpell any Perſon's Name, tell the Hour and Minute of the Day by any Perſon's Watch, diſtinguſh Gold from Silver, or tell the Value of any Piece of Money; and what is more extraordinary, he ſpells any Perſons Thoughts by the Impenetrable Secret; a Thing never attempted by any other Animal in the World.

AND BY PARTICULAR DESIRE
The Amazingly Learned MILITARY HORSE,

Which has been ſo often mentioned in the public Papers, of his being ſhown to his preſent Majeſty at Windsor-Caſle, the 13th of July,
1780. Likewise to the Nobility and Gentry, who not only expeſſed their Approbation and Surprize, but honoured the Proprietor with
extraordinary Kindneſs and Reward. This beautiful and unparalleled Animal has all the inviting and pleafing Properties that Nature
can beſtow, has amazing Quickneſs in executing the Commands of his Maſter, at whole Word and Signal he freely and inſantly performs various
Tricks and Fancies truly aſtounding and laughable, which gives univerſal Satisfaction and Pleasure to every ſpelerator.

LOR-PAGIOH

To the Curious in general, but more especially to those who are Admirers of the wonderful Productions of Nature.—There is come to this Place,

Mr. HENLEY'S

## Surprising Military HORSE of Knowledge,
And to be

NATURAL living curiosities have been allowed in all countries, and in all ages to be the most proper exhibitions, and worthy the attention of the learned. At the fight of extraordinary productions of Nature, the mind is struck with an allusionment, which the finest piece of Art is unable to produce.

The above Horfe performs such wonders in fetching and carrying, that no dog can do the like. He tells any number in Multiplication, and finds out any perfon in the room from another; he performs such surprising curiosities with cards and money, as far furpaals human faith to believe uulefs done. If several perfon in the room draw different cards out of the pack ever soSECRET, the creature will tell how many fops there are upon each of them. If any perfon takes a pack of cards in his own hand, and shuffles and cuts them ever so often, the creature will with his mouth draw a single card, and then tell the number of fops on it, to the amazement of the fpetitors. He with his mouth fires a pifol at the word of command and goes thro' part of the military exereice to admiration. It he's told he shall serve the King of France or Spain, immediately feizes his matter by the arm; but when he is told he shall fight for our Royal Sovereign, he thews his loyalty by riling up on his hand legs and returning thanks. He also tells the hours and minutes by the watch, and agreeably entertains the company with several other diversions too tedious to mention. The pifol may be performed with or without powder.

The Owner has had the honour of fetuing this wonderful Horfe before the Nobility, Gentry and others, with great applause.

\*\* A number of gentlemen or ladies may have private performances of the horfe any time of the day, if deferred, at their own Houfes, on giving notice.

The Horfe will go up flairs and down, so that any room is convenient.

Mr. HENLEY challenges any horfe to exhibit the like performances, for any fun.

The Evening Performances conclude

With a new invented Magic-Lanthorn,

Painted on glafs by his own Hand, the Colours being fine, and the Figures five and fix feet high; for several Sieges by Sea and Land,

Particularly the late SIEGE or GIBALTER, and Deflection of the Floating BATTERIES.

The Engagement between the ENGLISH and the FRENCH FLEET,
the 12th of April.

N. B. Shewn at your own Houfes only.

TO BE SEEN
A Young CROCODILE,
At the Ship in this Town
Which was exhibited at WEYMOUTH, before the
King, Queen, and Royal Family.

THIS affonthing young Creature, was taken when only fix Inches long, (and is now two feet nine Inches.) on a Branch of the River Nile, in lower Egypt. It has been proved by Sir Joseph Banks, Prefident to the Royal Society, and several more Naturalists in London, to be the real Egyptian Crocodile.

This amphibious Quadrupede has been used to Exhibition, is as inoffensive as any Creature whatever, and will walk round a Room as quiet as a Lamb.

Ladies and Gentlemen may be waited on at their own Housſes, and left to their own generosity what they pleate to give.

Labourers, Servants, Children, &c. may fee it at 2d. each.

Aloe Americana muricata Floreusii.

The large prickly AMERICAN ALOE in Bloom,
Being defervidly deem'd a great Curiosity, as feldom to be met with
in this Climate, and scarce ever obfervable till the Plant is full of life
Years old; Mr. Saddleton thinks it will be agreeable to the Curious
to be informed, that upon repairing to his Garden at VAUX HALL,

having one of the Kind there now, in great Beauty and growing
Perfection, and which, according to the number transmitted to him,
appears to be about one Hundred Years old,

Vickery's Real Bears' Grease.

THE excellent virtue which the fat of Bears poffeſs, has been experienced by thouſands of both fexes in this metropolis. The ſucces which has recently attended its uſe after violent fevers, that have threatened the irrecoverable loſs of the hair, ſufficiently evinces its reſtorative qualities. For wherever it has been applied, it has never failed of reſtoring its ſtrength, and re-animating it ſo as to encreafe its growth, and render it much more beautiful than ever. But it is neceſſary to obſerve, that theſe admirable virtues would have proved abor- tive, had not the hair been cut properly and regularly once every week or fortnight, while in that very weak ſtate, and after recovering its ſtrength, once a month. Indeed the beſt and ſtrongest hair ſhould be attended to as frequently. If this cuſtom was generally adopted, we ſhould find the human hair in a much more flourifhing ſtate of growth and quality than we do at prefent. From hair-cutting appearing ſo eafy and ſimple to perform, many people attempt to cut it themſelves, and thus injure and deſtroy what they evidently meant to im- prove and preferve.

It is evident to thoſe who have uſed the Real Bear's Grease, no greaſe retains its moifture ſo long upon the head. It muſt, conſequently, poffeſs ſuch a richneſs of quality as muſt nouriſh, ſtrengthen, and invigorate the hair beyond any ſubſtance that has been yet diſcovered and ap- plied to this purpofe. It being, therefore, ſo efficacious and invaluable an article, it ſhould be uſed by every perſon whose hair is in a declining or debilitated ſtate.

It is ſold in pots, from One Shilling to One Guinea each, at W. VICKERY's, No. 119, Bifhopſgate-ſtreet, Cornhill, and No. 6, Taviftock-ſtreet, Covent-garden.

Mr. Vickery has ſettled a correfpondence abroad to ſupply him regularly and ſufficiently with Bears, which will always enable him to ſerve the public with the Real Bear's Greafe. To ſatisfy the dubious, he has prefixed a copy of an Affidavit made before the Lord Mayor.

LONDON.

I, WILLIAM VICKERY, of Bifhopſgate-ſtreet, near Cornhill, London, Perfumer, make Oath and ſay, that I do not Sell, nor will cauſe to be Sold, at any time or times, any other than the Real Bear's Greafe, and that only from the Animal or Animals I keep, or are kept and killed by me, or by my order.

TO THE CURIOUS.
EXHIBITION,
Moſt uncommon, wonderful, and extraordinary.

OF all the Phœnomena that Time has witneſſed, there is beyond Doubt no one
equally ſingular and ſurprifing as that of a Man poſſeſed of the Power to Crack,
Swallow, and Digest the Hardeſt Flints; and for Stones only for a confiderable Part of
his Life, to have been his only Nouriſhment and Support.

That which gave Birth to ſo ſingular a Prodigy, was his remaining on a Rock for
feveral Years, the Conſequence of a Shipwreck. He was diſcovered there about Fifteen
Years ago, and carried to Norway. Since that Time he has been through the principal
Kingdoms of Europe, the jujſtly admired Wonder, and greatest Curioſity of the Age.

Reaſon may contradict, and popular Clamour declaim againſt the above Relation as
impoſſible and abſurd; but Argument can never prevail againſt poſſitive Matter of Faſt;
and it may be affirmed, that none diſbelieve, except thoſe who have not ſeen the Exhi-
bition. The Man is now in London, where he has provided a moſt ſuperb Collection
of every Kind of Flints; interſperſed with various capital Imitations of Fruit, in Italian
Marble; the Whole forming the moſt elegant STONE DESERT ever ſeen in this or
any other Country.

His Table is ſpread every Day from TWELVE to THREE, and from SEVEN to NINE.

Tickets HALF A CROWN,
At No. 10, COCKSPUR-STREET, CHARING-CROSS.

Where he ſhall think himſelf highly flattered by the Viſit of any Lady or Gentleman;
at the fame Time, he begs them and the impartial Public to ſupſend their Opinion, 'till
they have honored him by their Prefence, and judged for themſelves; for however im-
probable in its Nature, and oppoſite to every received ſystem, the Power of eating Stones
may be, Who could for a Moment ſuppofe, that a Man would expoſe himſelf to the
Inspection of every Individual in a large City, if he was liable every Inſtant to be
deteſted and expoſed as an Impoſtor?

HISTORY of that very Extraordinary Person who EATS STONES.—Incredibility being changed into universal admi-
ration, and the fact confirmed by the testimony of many
thousands; the following Account is given to the World as
an undoubted truth.—A Shipwreck happened on the Coast
of Norway about the year 1761. Of the whole crew, one
Youth only escaped; a lonely Rock received him; that he
came his Asylum and Habitation, until the year 1778, when
he was discovered by Capt. Allemore, and brought to Nor-
way. Now, during these 13 years that he dwelt in this
world, situation, despised of the things the most necessary
for life, this unfortunate man subsisted entirely on Stones;
from them he drew his nourishment, by them he prolong-
ed his wretched life. Should any persons now doubt the
above Story, they are invited to be themselves witnesses of
the fact. For although he has changed his situation, he has
not altered his food; to this day, in his private life, he eat
the hardest flints like bread, with his teeth he cracks and
reduces them to the smallest pieces; the stones being fell
in his stomach, where they sound as in a bag.—To be seen
This and every Morning from Twelve to Three; and in the
Evening from Seven to Nine, at No. 10, Cockspur-street,
Charling-cross. Admittance Half-a-Crown.

STONE EATER.

Curious Prodigy of Nature.

SCIENCE, like the Air, rides o'er the Face of the Universe, and Nature cannot deviate from her accuftomed Rules without her Observation and Scrutiny. Nature, as if to shew her Superiority and mock her Rival, has lately formed a pair of human Jaws with power to crack Stones, and a Stomach to digest them; having fixed at the fame Time, Health and Gaiety in the Coun-tenance: the Emblems of her Victory and Triumph.

Philofophers have reafoned on the above Phænomenon; Chymifts have analyzed; and the Curious of the whole European Continent, witneffed the above extraordinary Fact, with equal Aftonifhment and Uncertainty.

That which has baffled the Penetration of Thoſands in other
Countries, is now offered to the Inspection of the Curious in this
Capital, and may be ſeen on Monday next, the 10th of March,
and the following Days, from Eleven 'till Five o'Clock, at DENEW'S
AUCTION ROOM, (late GREENWOOD's) No. 28, HAY-MARKET.

Admittance Half a Crown.

TO BE SEEN,
At Mr. BECKETT's, Trunk-Maker,
(No. 31,)

HAY-MARKET,
From TEN o'Clock in' the Morning, till NINE in the Evening,
The Valdivician Triumvirate!

Or, ( As it is supposed )
The venerable Progenitors and Relations of the much admired and moft curious

MONSTROUS CRAWS!

This Majestie Trio is compofed of two Males and a Female, each with a Craw, under the Throat, of a real Rupendous Size; being older, taller, and infinitely more curious to be feen (especially by the Connoifieurs of the wonderful Operations and Products of human Nature) then those who were lately in this Country. In the first Place, it is moft curious to obferve, that each of the Males has a Craw, about two times bigger than they had, which contains within but only two moving Glands, each full as big as the Egg of an Eagle, or Swan; and what is more curious is, that their Craws are placed and hang down immediately oppofite to each other, one on the right Side, the other on the left of their Throat, which (with the Female in the middle of them, who has a Craw of fuch Dimension, that it muft be supported up with a Basket, to prevent its weighing her Head down) give them a moft pleafing and venerable Aspect! It is alfo very curious to obferve, that the Craws of the Males, are wholly detached from the Skin of their Throats, whilft that of the Female is almoft entirely incarnated with it! They appear at first Sight, rather fierce by their natural look, but are in reality very mild and subtilſive; One of the Males being particularly entertaining, on hearing him haranguing his Companions with Emphases, and ſuitable Gestures who are dumb; being all three very diverting.

That thefe People may juſtly be called wild, if one reflects that their mountainous Place of Nati-
ity lies remote and unfrequented, and their Subſistance thence confifts chiefly of Roots and herbage,
it muſt give one a belief that they are to; the race of them being almoſt extinct, on account of having
been diſperſe d as great curiſtions of Human-Nature, every where, and thereby, their Breed diſcon-
nued.—The Indian Ambaſſador's, lately at Paris, were the Perſonages who first inſpeſted them
there, to which Place they were purpofely imported, and from whence they are now arrived here,
in their ſpeedy Paſſage to a Northern Kingdom.

There are Dancing Maſters in London, and many other parts of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, &c. who gives attendance on their SCHOOLS once a Day one Day in each Week, either in the Morning part of the Day, or the Evening part, &c. and others that gives attendance both Morning and Afternoon, one Day in each Week, ſome who gives attendance two Days in each Fortnight, &c. &c. and to Thouſands of Perons that are not acquainted with my Method of Teaching, they will naturelly think that my giving attendance only one Day in each Fortnight, that it is an Inpoſsibility to bring my Scholors to any Sort of good Knowledge or Performances, in five Years Time, to anſwer all that any one or any of them can or will or doth or may or ſhall hereafter ſay, I have and I can and I will Teach, if I only give attendance one Day in each Fortnight, ( that is) two Hours in the Morning, and three Hours in the Afternoon, I will make a Scholar or my Scholors to underſand the Theatre and Pradical parts of Dancing, &c. better in 12 Months than all or any can or hath in 36 Months, for any wager they will.

No Man can be well prepared in any Sort of genteel Trades, Proſeffions, Sicances, Employments, Servitudes, Muſic, the Army, or Navy, unless they can Dance exceeding well; Dancing will make a Man Stand and Walk, and Look, and Speak well; to be Courteous and Civil, Obliging, and Complaiſant, and Genteel, and of a fine forgiving merciful diſpoſition; which all will be ſoon attained with all Perons who learn to Dance very well, I have known and heard of Perons who as been good Dancers, to advance themſelves from a Quirifter to a Bifhop, from a Private Man to a General, from a Cabinboy to a Admiral, from a Lawyer-Clerk to a Counſellor, and from that to a Judge, from a Clerk to a Merchant, to be a Merchant himſelf; and ten Thouſand Circumſtances of the fame kind might be Innumerated, &c. &c. Dancing gives a Perfon a eafy Looking and Speaking, to his Superiors and Inferiors, it takes off thofe flow and Eſſeminately Proud deluding Look that ſome of the Seafary make Uſe of, to a moſt abominable and reached diſgraceſome deſe, and quite deſpifiable to every honest Man, whileſt the good natured Dancer, &c. Behaves with the very freeſt part of Modety, and a eafy Obliging Behaviour to all and all Sorts of People of all denominations; if I was to Enumerate the great uſe that Dancing is of to Women in all Sorts of Trades and Employments, and all Sorts of Services, in all reſpects beginning with one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen, and go through all Sorts and degrees of Quality and Gentry, &c. &c. and Trades, &c. it would be a very great Taſk, &c. in ſhort Dancing is the very greatest ſupport to Trades and Manufactures of all Sorts, and Proſeffions of every kind that can be mention'd, and all thofe Sort of Perons who has any thing to ſay against Dancing are Enemies to the whole Community, &c. all Free-Schools, Charity-Schools, and Perons who deſires to promote Improvements for either Boys or Girls, should leave a very good SALARY for a Dancing-Mafter to Inſtruct Children for ever, &c. this I recommend to all the whole Community of all Nations, Kingdoms, and all the Inhabitants upon the Face of the whole Earth.

At the Musical Clock in

Theatre
MUSES.
BY
PINCHBECK,

Fleet-Street, LONDON;

Is to be seen, at the Royal Oak in Affford.

This Wonderful and Magnificent Machine has in the Front two most beautiful moving Pictures: The one is ORPHEUS in a Forest, playing on his Lyre, and beating exact Time with his Head and Foot to every Tune, among a great Number of wild Beasts, who, by their various Motions seem to be animated and charm'd by his Harmony.

At the same Time it performs on several Instruments, great Variety of fine Pieces of Musick, composed by Mr. Handel, Corelli, and other celebrated Mafters, in so excellent a Manner, that scarce any Hand can equal. Likewise the sweet Harmony of an Aviary of Birds, which is imitated to so great a Perfection, as not to be dined, tinguish'd from Nature itself.

The other Picture is a Landscape, with a View of the Sea, terminating in senſhing at a very great Distance: With Ships failing, plying to Windward, and diminifhing by Degrees, as they seem to go further from the Eye, till at length they diſappear, with Porpus's playing, or tumbling in the Sea at the fame Time. On the Land are Horſemen, Carts, Chafes, &c. paſſing along; the Wheels turning round as tho' on the Road, the Men and Horſes altering their Poſition, to keepthemſelves upright, as they come down a ſleep Hill, and paſſ through a Valley.

Tnen, in a fresh Water River are seen Swans swimming, filhing, and feathering themselves, their Motions as natural as though really alive. Likewise the ſporting of the Dog and Duck is highly diverting.

Upon the whole, this inimitable Machine for its beautiful Structure, Harmony, and Proportion, is thought to be the most beautiful Piece of Art that ever appears in Europe: And that all who are curious may have an Opportunity offering this Magnificent Piece of Machinery, and hear its most excellent Performance, its ſhowing any Time of the Days from Ten in the Morning, till Nine at Night, to two or more, without Lols of Time.

At the said Place are to be Sold Gold and Silver Watches, with ſome Curious Toys, ſuch as Snuff Boxes, Buckles, Cane-Heads, and Watches, made of the true London Metal, which exacely imitates Gold: Likewise a Quantity of Fine Brazil SNUFF.

N. B. The laid Christopher Pinchbeck, Makes and Sells Clocks that play on the Organ, Flute, and Flageolet: Repeating, and all other Forts of Clocks and Watches; and Mends them after such a manner, that they shall go well, though they never did before.

G. WILSON, humbly, as before,
Refumes his thankfulneſs once more,
For favours formerly enjoy'd,
In by the Public being employ'd;
And hopes this public intimation,
Will meet with candid acceptation.
The world knows well he makes Boots neatly,
And, as times go, he fells them cheaply.
*Tis alio known to many hundred,
Who at his late inventions wou'd red,
That poliſh'd *Leather Baxes, Cafes,
So well known now in many places,
With Powder Flanks, and Porter Mugs,*
And jointed *Leather Arms and Legs,*
Defign'd for uſe as well as ſhow,
Exempli gratia, read below,
Were his invention: and no claim
Is juſt by any other name.

With numbers of productions more,
In leather, ne'er perform'd before.
In theſe dead times, being almost idle,
He try'd, and made a *Leather Fiddle,*
Of workmanship extremely neat,
Of tone quite true, both toſt and ſweet.
And finding leather not a mute,
He made a *Leather German Flute;*
Which play'd as well, and was as good,
As any ever made of wood.
He, for an idle hour's amuſement,
Wrote this exotic adverſitement,
Informing you he does reſide.
In head of Canongate, fourth ſide,
Up the firſt wooden railed ſlair,
You're ſure to find his whimſhip there.
In Britain none can fit you better
Than can your ſervant the *Bootmaker.*

To the printer of the Caledonian Mercury.

SIR,

As I am a reader of your Mercury, I indulge myſelf with the hope, that you will admit my ſhort misfortunate narrative into a corner of your extenſively uſeful paper. I belong to the royal artillery, and, on the 23d of April 1776, I embarked on board of the Fleetwood tranport, Captain Slazier, from Woolwich, and arrived at Quebec the 1ſt of June the fame year, where we had a very reſtleſs and troubleſome campaign; but eſpecially to my experience, in the engage-ment on Lake Champlain, near Ticonderago, where I was in a gun boat, and ſerving the vent; and at this duty we have occafion for extending both hands towards the vent, and mine being in that poſition, an eighteen pound ſhot from the rebels came and carried away both my hands, the right hand about an inch and a half, and the left about fix inches below my elbow.

Thus I was rendered uſeleſs to my king, my country, and myſelf; but I gratefully acknowledge, that the honourable Board of Ordnance have made proper provifion for me; but, alas! they could not make me uſeful to myſelf.

Very lately I heard of one GAVIN WILSON, in the Canongate. I applied to him, and he has made me two jointed hands of Leather, with which, beſides writing theſe few lines to you, I can do a great many very uſeful things to myſelf.

And as Mr WILSON has far exceeded my expeſtation, in what he has done for me, I think it is my duty, in juſtice to him, and in ſympathy to others in my unhappy ſituation, to give you this public intimation, that any who needs his help may know where to apply. I am,

the Author, John Frederick Boon's Lodgings, at Mr. Greenwood's, in Ver-
Street, near Oxford-Chapel. There are some of several Days Growth,
and others entire.

Mr. Boon, if he meets with Approval and suitable Encouragement,
is ready to provide for several other Experiments of a Chemical Nature,
never known before, that he will no longer suffer than curios, and can
fly with Veracity, that the above Flowers may be rendered as useful to
Mankind, as they are forriving to the Ingenious.

A New-invented Machine for warming a Room
with a small Quantity of Wood, or any Coal, very convenient
for any Room in Counting-House, and particularly for a Cabin on board
a Ship. This Machine gives neither Smoke nor ill Smell to the Rooms,
and there is no Danger of Fire. D.A. Jans. 31, 1782.

Great Numbers of Perions of all Ranks resort daily to
the great Room near Exeter Exchange in the Strand, where
the Pantheon, and Cyclopedia is full to be seen from Nine
in the Morning till Eight at Night, at One Shilling each
Perion. This curious Machine is the moft rural, magnifi-
cent and inoffensive Piece ever yet exhibited, different from
all others in Structure and Motion. D.A. Jan. 17, 1783.

MRS. SIDDONS'S Younger Sifter, Mrs.
CURTIS, desired moft respectfully to inform the
Public, that This and every Evening This Week,
will read a LAYCOST at the TEMPLE of HEALTH,
in PALL-MALL, on the proudest Rate and influence of
WOMEN, on Society, in England, in France, in Spain,
and in the Eastern Countries; and on the relative and
recreational duties, which are incumbent on both Sexes,
to advance their particular, as well as mutual happiness.
In the course of the Lecture will be introduced a few words re-
preducting the proudest independent and unsocial prudence of the
Reith Stage of taming Men into Women, and Women into
Men. As this Lecture is perfectly chaste and delicate, and
c extremely inoffensive; and as every thing will be conducted
with the most decorum, Mrs. Curia humbly hopes to be
honored with the countenance and support of Ladies of hu-
manity, rank, and character. The Temple, which is now
embellished in a style of magnificence and brilliance, far fu-
neria to any Royal Palace in the World, will, as a rule, be
highly Blush'd with wax. The Lecture will begin pre-
cially at Seven o'Clock.

Amidstion Two Shillings.

"Tis now the very witching time of night, when church yards yawn."

SHAKSPEARE

The Public are respectfully informed, that
*This and every Evening,
Monfieur MONTPELIER,
Will have the honor to prefent, at the above place, the exhibition of his
SKIAGRAPHEMA,*

Which has been received with such unbounded applaufe, for the last four years, at PARIS,
under the title of the
Phantasmagorie,

He will also display his
ANIMATED BUST,

Which has been considered as the most Wonderful Optical deception that was ever witnessed.

The World cannot fail to be highly interefted in the developement of thofe fions by which the credulous have been ſo long deceived, nor as a reaſarch into the ARCANA of the invifible world, has conſantly engaged the minds of the moſt learned Philofophers, can the expofitions of thofe frauds which have counterfeited the interpoſition of a ſuperior or incorporeal race of beings, be confidered as be- neath the attention of the moſt faſtidious enquirer.

A Performance is now introduced to the public, which unites this important information with a moſt pleafing entertainment, and it is ſubmitted to their patronage with a reſpectful confidence of ſuccesſs, which nothing but a confiociuſeſs of deferving it could produce.

The ANIMATED BUST is an effect produced by combinations, hitherto unknown in the ſcience of Optics, and, which will probably lead to Future ENTER- TAINMENTS at the above place, of the moſt pleafing and aftionifhing nature.

PREVIOUS TO WHICH
MR. MORITZ,
Who has had the honor of performing twice in one day before one Royal Family, will dif-
play the Power of
Strength, Art, and Mechanism,
HE WILL ALSO INTRODUCE HIS
SAGACIOUS BIRDS,

WHO PERFORM IN A WONDERFUL MANNER.

The Entertainments will conclude with an entirely New, Superb, and Brilliant display of Enble-natical

Philofophical Fire Works.

During the Intervals of the Entertainments, a Young Lady will perform on the Harp and Piano-Fortes.

The publicare respectfully acquainted that the Great Room has been elegantly and com-
modiſually fitted for their reception, the Boxes being devided, ſo as to acconodate ſeperate
Parties.

EDWARD ARMSTRONG, Esq; Advocate, Sheriff Deputy of
the Shire of Dumfries, and John Welsh, Esq; Sheriff-substitute, To

executors,
hereof conjunctly and severally specially confituted, greeting, WHEREAS, it is
humbly meant, and shown to us by Patrick Miller, Esq; of Dallwinton, and
Alexander Ferguffon, Esq; of Craigdarroch, That he, the said Mr Miller, has
been elected Delegate by the Magistrates and Town Council of Dumfries, and
that he, the said Mr Ferguffon, has been elected Delegate by the Magistrates and
Town Council of Sanquhar, and are appointed to meet at Dumfries upon the
twelfth day of July current, with the Delegates from the other Boroughs in this
class or district, for the purpose of electing a Burgeſs to repreſent the said diftriet
in the ensuing Parliament of Great Britain. That from the riotous and tumul-
tuous proceedings of a daring and outrageous mob, affembled at Lochmaben
yefterday, when the Magiftrates and Council were going to proceed to elect
their Delegate, and which prevented the poſſibility of a majority of their number
from attending the election in the Council-houſe of that Borough, the Com-
plainers are afraid, and indeed have good reaſon to believe, that the fame violent
and outrageous proceedings will be attempted here at Dumfries, upon Monday
next, in order to prevent the election of a Burgeſs to ſerve in Parliament, from
being carried on in that regular and proper manner in which it ought to pro-
ceed. That the Complainers, before applying to us, had a conference with the
Magiftrates of Dumfries, and communicated to them the apprehenſions they
entertained upon this matter; and that the Magiftrates informed, that, if they
were only afraid of a mob or riot from the inhabitants of Dumfries, they thought
they eafily could provide againſt any improper conduct from that quarter; but
if there was any dread of numbers of disorderly people coming from other places,
such as happened at Lochmaben yefterday, to interrupt the election, That they
the Magiftrates could not undertake to proteſt the Complainers, and the other
Delegates from any outrage that might be attempted upon them by ſuch a mob.
That it is contrary to law, to call in the aid of the military upon occafions of
this kind: the Complainers therefore were under the neceſſity of applying to us
for affembling the poſſe comitatus of this county, in manner and to the effect
after-mentioned. HEREFOR E, We charge you strictly, and command, that on
fight hereof ye paſs and lawfully ſummon all the Freeholders, Heritors, Tenants,
and heads of families, dwelling within this county, perſonally, or at their dwell-
ing places, to compear perſonally before us, or either of us, at the Borough of
Dumfries, in or at the common Court-houſe there, upon Monday next the
twelfth day of July current, betwixt the hours of fix and ſeven in the morning,
in order to attend and affiſt us, or either of us, in order to enable us to keep and
preferve his Maſeſty's peace, and to prevent the Complainers, and the Delegates
from the other Boroughs of this diſtrict, in the execution of the truſt repoſed
in them by the law and conſtitution of the country, in the election of a Burgeſs
to repreſent this diſtrict in the ſaid ensuing Parliament; each Freeholder, He-
ritor, Tenant, and head of family, under the pains of law. And herein fail not
at your peril.—Given under my hand at Dumfries, the ninth day of July, in
the year of our LORD one thousand ſeven hundred and ninety.

(Signed) E.D. ARMSTRONG.

virtue of a Precept directed to me, whereof the prefixed is a just double, lawfully ſum-
mon you

Sheriff-officer of the ſire of Dumfries, by

Here's the New Devil cometo town.
Being the True and Remarkable Account of
A FRIGHTFUL
Apparition,

Which appeared, for eight Nights to the unfortunate Mrs Ann Oakley, a Gentleman Farmer's Daughter, near Hatfield, in Hertfordshire worth thirty thousand pounds. And she being in a very melancholy way, crofted in love, unhappily destroyed herself.

THE following remarkable affair happened on Saturday last:
Mrs Ann Oakley, a gentleman farmer's daughter, near Hatfield, in Hertfordshire, who is now upwards of thirty thousand pounds, has for some time been in a very melancholy way, oc- casioned by love.

The object of her affection was the
butler, and she having words on account
of her cruel parents, and her ladyship,
and they not giving their consent, on
account of her being a young lady of
a large fortune, and he having only
what she got in service, she grew ex-
ceeding melencholy.

On the vening of Saturday last, being
in a ruminaing mood, there appeared
to her a person, dressed like a gentleman,
whom she knew very well.

He asked her, what made her so mel-
lancholy? But, without waiting for an
answer, said, you have been crofted by
your parents, concerning the young
man that you keep company with; but,
if that be all your grief, if you will only
sign your name with your own blood,
I will put you in a way that you will be
sure to have him, and that with the con-
fent of your parents, and Lady like-
wife.

When he parted from her, she saw his
clover foot, and then found out, to her
grief and horror, that she had been con-
tracting with the devil.

Drove, by this, to the utmost despair,
she made two attempts to destroy her-
felf, before she did it effectually, which
was at a place called Brandling, in Mid-
dlesex, and not at Hatfield-Row, in
Harleystreet.

Before she destroyed herself, she wrote
two letters, of which the following are
true copies:

To Lady S—, at her seat at B—,
near the five mile stone, on the Edgware
road, near W— Green.

“Dear Lady S—,

“I thank you for all favours, tho' I
now no longer need them, hving deter-
mined to put an end to that life, which
is now become a burthen to me.

“Riches are given to come as a briefing, to me they have proved the very復
verie.

“Fine feasters may make fine birds,
but not always happy ones; and the
sparrow is happier in the field, than the
linnet in a golden cage.

“So was it with me and my love, for
him I wished to live, and being forced
from him, am resolved to end at once my
life and mifery.

“Once more, therefore, I return to your
Ladyship my dying thanks for every fa-
vour, hoping we shall one more meet
again in heaven.

“ANN OAKLEY.”

The following letter she sent to her
parents:

“My dear and honoured Father
and Mother,

“You bred me up in a careful and
tender manner, gave me a genteel edu-
catio, and thought that riches might
make me happy.

“But love, all powerful love, has
thwa ted your defights.

“Fixed in my affections upon one
whom you think beneath me, and una-
ble to live without him, since you have
parted us, death is now my only hope
and comfort.

“Loving, without your consent, is
the only crime I have against you com-
mitted.

“For this offence I die, and with my
last breath, humbly implore your par-
son and forgiven.

“Oncemore adieu for ever,

“And for ever,

“A. OAKLEY.”

We are sorry to add, at the Butler is
gone distracted.

# The Surrey Yeomen,
A New SONG,

To the old TUNE, of
And "a BEGGING WE WILL GO."

O F All the new rais'd Cavalry, it foon fhall be confefes'd;
That WE the SURREY Yeomen are, The Braveft and the beft
And a fighting we will go,

'Tis Principles, and Property; NOT Beauty, Size, or Grace,
That gives each worthy Yeoman here, a welcome and a place:
And a fighting we will go,

Our Military ardor, can ne'er be thought to fail,
Because no Powder wafted, and fome can't hoist a Tail, [* on the head]
But a fighting we will go,

Our Powder we'll put in our Guns; and fure the World you'd praife one:
If tis obferv'd that NONE turn Tail; tho' fome few cou'd not raife one.
And a fighting we will go,

All Ridicule, and Mockery, in filence we'll let pafs:
Altho' tis true, a Three INCH'D Skirt, can't hide three FEET of ----------
And a fighting we will go,

But whether fhort, or long's our Skirt: our Enemies fhan't know it:
We'll always meet them face to face, and rather DIE than fhow it.
And a fighting we will go,

Then if we break fome Frenchmen's head, you'll surely own we've merit :
And if we chance to break our own, why damme i'n't it I'pirit!
And a fighting we will go,

Inſtead of cutting off THEIR heads; I'll own, I have my fears;
Some awkward dog at cutting may,---cut off his horſes ears!
Yet a fighting we will go,

And then the folks will laugh at us: and throw it in our chops,
That as we're Farmers all by Trade, " we like to make good CROPS :"
Yet a fighting we will go,

Some Night, perhaps, in fally'ng forth; when tis as dark as pitch :
Our Friends and Wives may AIR our beds while WE are in a ditch.
Yet a fighting we muſt go,

While cover'd o'er with mud we lie: let us reflect with glee,
Our Wives are COVER'D warm at home: tho' better far than we !
Yet a fighting we muſt go,

But Jokes apart! we bravely risk our perſons and our lives,
To fave our homes, our Properties, our families, and wives!
And a fighting we will go,

Then let us ſing God fave the King: our Country, and it's laws:
For this my Friends, we draw our Swords: 'tis ſure a Briton's caufe.
And a fighting we will go,

SONG, written for, and sung at, the Anniversary Meeting
of Gentlemen educated at WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.

I.
K Ind School-fellows liften a while to my Song;
As it won't be too witty, it fhan't be too long:
Our annual meeting's the theme that provokes,
So we'll dafh thro' bad metre, bad voice, and bad jokes.

II.
Old England, in Loyalty, cannot do lefs,
Than acknowledge the bleffings that flow'd from Queen Befs:
Each year we thus meet, she's our firft fanding toaf't
Becaufe we are the Lads who fhou'd thank her the moft.

III.

Of fupplying what's ufeful, and graceful to man :
Which Dryden and Prior, and Cowley, and Revue :
Churchill, Colman, Lloyd, Hinchliffe, and Mansfield muſt ſhow. §

Still dear to their Country, their memories live !
For genius departed, we all of us grieve:
Yet of talents now living, our School i'n't bereft,
While Markbam, Smith, Vincent, and Hume are ſtill left.

Great Patronels, Hail ! by whose Clafſic command,
The Birch was well plac'd in old Buſby's rough hand : †
His knack in the uſe of it has not been loff,
As his prefent Succefſors have prov'd to my coſt.

VI.
'Twas Mercy and Juitſce that temper'd each blow :
Tho' ſuch Mercy and Juitſce I'd gladly forego;
And as my Correſtors are here in their place;
The hurt done my ----- I will prove to their face.

VII.
My ſace, they perhaps may from abſence forget,
Which to me, I will own, is a ſource of regret :
If I ſhow them my rump, tis a different ſtory;
They will then draw Conſluſions a Pofſteriori.

VIII.
Great Elizabeth's bounties we all muſt revere :
She was mother and friend to each child of us here:
Thus much we may ſay; for we are not afraid;
We are all her own Bairns, tho' ſhe died an old maid !

IX.
How ſhe quizz'd † the Armada, and ſmugg'd † all their dollars;
With which ſhe bought Mutton, to cram the King's Scholars: ‖
She made them preſt, that they hardly cou'd dine:
But a Preſtendant School was her pyc-houſe deſign.

X.
Peace and honors attend on her afhes, ſay I,
But as tears are diſtrefſing, and forrow is dry :
Let's drink to her Virtues, and fill to her Ruff :
The Maſters muſt do ſo: they're critics on Buff !
XI. DERRY DOWN.

Yet our Rites are unfinifh'd;--we can't haſte away,

A true and particular Account of the
MONSTER.

Who was Yesterday examined at the Publick Office in Bow Street, by the Name of Renwick Williams, charged on the Oath of Mifs MARY FOSTER, of cutting her in a dangerous Manner. Also, on the Oaths of ELIZABETH DAVIS, and Mifs WHEELER, and is fully committed to take his Trial for these shocking Crimes.

YEslerday Renwick Williams, the man
cha ged by feveral ladies, with hav-
ing wounded and otherwife ill treated
them, was brought up to Bow-street, for
further examination.

Four ladies were first examined, none
of whom could identify his pe fon.

Charlotte Payne, servant to the Coun-
tefs of Howe, being fworn, said, that on
Sunday evening, about three months ago,
she was accofted in Brook-street, Grof-
venor-square, by a man who whispered
to her, and afked her if he should fee her
home ? she made no ep y, but walked
to her home in Grafton-street, the man
behaving civil till she got to Lord Howe's
door, where he laid hold of her by the
shoulders wi h both hands, kicked her
up the steps, and made uſe of infamous
language ; on going in ſhe found ſhe had
received a wound thro' the ſkirt of her
gown; the evening being dark, ſhe could
not ſwear to the prifone.

Mifs Mary Fosler being next fworn,
faid, that laſt September returning from
the Haymarket theatre, ſhe was accoſted
by a man, n't very genteelly dressed ;
he afked if he ſhould fee her ſafe home;
ſhe made no reply, he followed her, and
continually repeated his question until
ſhe got to St. Anne's church, in Mac-
clesfield-street, when he damne i her, and
made uſe of the moſt groſs an indecent
language and with a violent blow pufhed
her down. Two labouring men were ga-
ing by, to whom ſhe gave an account of
her being knocked down by the villain,
who was then running down King-street.
Two gentlemen came up, and conduct-
ed her home; one of them proved to be
a ſu geon, and examining, found ſhe had
received a wound three inches deep, the
loft three half pints of blood, and the in-
ſtrument muſt have been very ſharp, for
it cut thro' five petticoats ſhe had on.
She pointed the prifoner out ofom amidt
the crowd who were in the office, affert-
ing solemnly that he was the villain ;
ſhe had ſeen him twice ſince, once at Co-
vent Garden theatre, in the front boxes,
when on feeing her, he went ou , and
ſhe telling a gentleman who was with
her, e followed the prifoner, and got a
direction to No. 6, Bow-street, but at
that time could no. app chend him.

She afterwards met him in Fleet-street,
when he flared her full in the face, grin-
ned moſt horribly at her, and made off.

The prifoner ſaid, that at the time this
lady was wounded, he was an hundred
miles from London. She was bound over
in a penalty of 50l. to p ofecute him.

Elizabeth Davis, of Clark's Court, Hol-
born, fwore, that fix weeks ago ſhe was
met by the prifoner, in Chancery Lane,
at ten o'clock in the evening; he ſaid,
Where are you going? ſhe made him no
anſwer; he followed her, having a noſe-
gay in his hand, which he afked her to
ſmell, but ſhe refufing, he gave her a
violent blow on the breast, another a-
croſs the thigh, and ran off. On going
home, ſhe fainted, and the perſons round
he discovered her cloaths much cut, her
ſkin on her thigh was alfo flightly grazed.
She was bound over to p roſecute.

Mifs Wheeler ſaid, the was at Rane-
lagh the night after the Spanish Amba-
fador had given his gala there, and her
father having left her, to order his car-
riage, the prifoner came up to her in the
room, and made uſe of the moſt groſs and
indelicate language.

She was much tightene , and jumped
up, ca led on ſome per n to proteſt her ;
the prifoner ran off; walking in the Park
with her ſifter the Sunday following, the
again ſaw the prifoner, who came up to
her, and ſaid, how came you to accrue
me of inful in g you, and was proceeding
with very indecent language, when the
father laid hold of him, but a crowd col-
lect ing, and ſhe ſearing Mr. Wheeler
might be ill treated, peruaded him to let
him go.

She afterwards ſaw him pafs by the
windows of her father's houle, when he
has ſaid impertinent things to her and her
ſifters.

Though this Lady was not wounded,
yet the behaviour of the prifoner to her
c e tainly strengthens the eviden c e of the
reſt of the Ladies who have pofitively fwore
to him.

She is therefore to appear on the trial.

The prifoner was remanded to Clerk-
enwell New Prifon,

By p[ro]ſſi n he is an art ſicial flower
maker.

Horrid Cruelties, shocking Barbarities, inhuman Practices, and blood
thirty Crimes, committed upon the Persons of several beautiful Women,
by that Villain in Human Shape who is called the

MONSTER.

Who was left Night apprehended in the very Act of barbarously Cutting
and Wounding a Lady. Likewise, his Examination before the Ma-
gistrates, his Confession, and Commitment to Prison, to take his
Trial for these shocking Crimes.

This gang of villains, for it
now appears there are feve-
ral of them, have, for a
long time, made a practice
of cutting and wounding
the fair sex.

Various ladies, servant maids, mantua-
makers, milliners, &c. have been cut and
wounded in a shocking manner.

The Hon. Mils Tyrone was a few
days ago accosted by one of them in Park
Lane, he was drest in an officer's uniform,
and attempting, as the then thought, to
salute her, the wretch cut her neck in a
violent manner, and ran off.

Mils Hopkins, standing at her own
door, was suddenly attacked, and cut in
the arm and shoulder.

Lady Maria Matilda's waiting maid was accosted by one of these Monsters, in Grofvenor Square, who stabbed her in the breast, and escaped.

Mils Lucas, a mantua-maker, was car-
rying home a gown, and passing through
Lincolns inn-fields, cut and wounded in
a horrid manner.

Various women have been wounded
in the above shocking manner, a repeti-
tion of whose names would only tire our
readers.

But one of these Monsters was taken
last night.

He cut a servant girl, near Norfolk
Street, in the Strand, who shrieking out,
two spřited men laid hold of him, and
carried him before the magistrates.

We are informed, that he made a long
confession against the gang of Monitors,
to which he belonged.

He was committed, and is to be again
brought up before the magistrates for re-
examination.

The people affenbled to see this horrid
Monster were so outrageouss, that the
conftables, with great difficulty, kept
them from tearing him to pieces, so great
was their resentment.

A Copy of Verfes.

F E males and beauties, of every rank and
and station,

You fure muſt rejoice that the Monster
he is taken,

Runcing up and down the town, both
early and late, fir,

To cut and wound the female lex, O what
a villain great, fir.

At length, after a long reign, he met with
his match, fir,

He cut a girl near Norfolk street, and
there they did him catch, fir,

The facts of plaſu, con'd not deny the
matchief he'd been doing,

How that by cutting, wounding, the ſe-
males he did ruin.

If a pretty girl was bold enough to walk
thro' the streets, fir,

With one of these Monſters perhaps ſhe
might meet, fir,

He'd cut and wound her ſore, after her
he'd friendly greeted,

So thus affaul'd every one, and cruelly
them treated.

But Jufice having got him, his wicked
race is run, fir,

He ſoon muſt anſwer for the crimes he
has done, fir,

No one but will rejoice that the Monster
he is taken,

Artifice will not prevail, nothing can ſave
ſave his bacon.

A true and particular Account of
OF THAT
Apparition,

Which is fuppofed to be the Ghoft of M---- D----, who was inhumanly murdered by her Hufband and his Mother, a few Weeks ago, at Mortlake, in the County of Surry.

AS a labouring man, who lives at Mortlake, in the county of Surry, was returning home, about eleven o'clock at night, falling through a field, he perceived something white fitting on a tile at the further end of it, and drawing near to it, he being obliged to go that way, he plainly observed it to be the figure of a woman, which, to his gr at furprife, vanifhed when he was almost clofe enough to touch it. Being much frightened, he purched briefly on to get through the next field, when lo! at the further end of it, on another tile, fat the fame figure. He was very much terrified, as may easily be fuppofed, but must either go over that tile or fly all night from his home.

Knowing himself to be a man who had never injured any one, he determined to pafs on, and getting quite clofe to the figure, to that he could view it difficultly, he plainly perceived it to be the figure of his late unfortunate neighbour, M—y D—g, who left her life in fo inhuman a manner, and on which account her hufband and his mother are now confined in prifon, to take their trial at the next afzizes, for murder.

He flood for fome minutes viewing the alarming figure before him, and though much terrified eye! it very minutely. She held in her arms the figure of a young infant, on which he kept her eyes fixed, with an apparent melancholy satisfaction. He, at length, muttered up his courage, and ip ke to it, when it ufeered the following words,

"Murdered ! cruelly murdered!"
and then vanifhed.

The poor man was so much terrified at what he had seen, that he could hardly walk home, when knocking to be let in, he saw the fame figure of the murdered M—y D—g, standing at the door where he had formerly refided. But, on their coming to let him in, the immediately disappeared.

The fame Ghoft has alfo appeared fince that time to three different people, particularly to a young clergyman, then on a visit in the neighbourhood, who spoke to it, and it held fome difcourte with him, but he will not relate the particulars; he fays, it will appear until the murderers are brought to justice.

The Apparition of this unfortunate woman hath alfo appeared in the prifon where her wicked hufband, and his cruel mother, now lay confined. Several things have, even in the day time, been violently thrown about the room in which they were fitting; and, although thofe in company faw nothing, from the countenances of D—g and his mother, it plainly appeared they beheld more than they chose to reveal.

In the night it was still more dreadful, at twelve o'clock the noife generally begins. Sometimes there are horrid groans like thofe of a person in the agonies of death; at other times, the noife is like the cries of a new born infant.

One night D—g being in bed, he attempted to drink fome water, which flood by the bedfide, but the pint pot was wrenched out of his hand, and he received a violent blow on the face with it, from fome invisible hand.

SLAVE TRADE.

WESTMINSTER FORUM,
SPRING GARDENS, CHARING-CROSS:

On Monday the 3d instant, the following Question will be debated, viz.

Can any Commercial or Political Advantages justify a FREE
PEOPLE in continuing the SLAVE TRADE?

THIS very important Business has been the Subject of Deliberation of the first Philosophers and Politicians in Europe.—The whole Kingdom of Great Britain is at present inclined to abolish (if possible) a Trade from apparently infidel with Humanity.—The Expediency of this Step is doubted by many Perfons who are acknowledged to be well informed with the Nature of our commercial Interests, and more particularly with that of our West-India Islands. Petitions from almost every City and Borough in the Kingdom, praying that this Trade may be abolished, are now on the Table of the House of Commons;—great Influence is exerted to continue the Traffic;—a Question, therefore, of this Nature is certainly at this Period much to the Advantage of both Parties, the Friends of each having an Opportunity of supporting their Sentiments in public. So ardent were both Parties to deliver their Sentiments on Monday last that they perpetually contended for Preference; three Gentlemen were up at once claiming the Attention of the Audience;—in this Situation it was unanimously agreed to adjourn the Question.

Ladies and Gentlemen who may wish to hear this Debate are intreated to attend early, otherwise it will be impoffible to give them Accommodation. There were upwards of Seven Hundred Perions in the Room last Monday by half past 7 o'Clock.

The Doors will be opened precifely at Seven.

TAKEN alive on the FRIESTON SHORES, near Boston, Lincolnshire, on the 15th of February, 1800, from which was extracted Fifty-four Gallons of fine Oil. The Phenomenon is now in the highest State of Prefervation, free from any smell; it is of a beautiful Marble Colour, and of the highest Polish; measures in its Length, Twenty-four Feet an Half, including an Ivory Horn of Seven Feet, Six Inches long; Girth Eight Feet; and when alive, was upwards of Forty Hundred Weight.---Upon its Road to Town, it has met with the most difficult Approbation, as the greatest Curiosity, particularly at the University of Cambridge.

PHILOSOPHICAL FIREWORKS

FROM INFLAMMABLE AIR,
EXHIBITED ON
MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAY EVENINGS,
AT THE LYCEUM, NEAR EXETER CHANGE, STRAND,
FROM EIGHT TO TEN O'CLOCK, BY

MR. DILLER,

PROFESSOR of Natural Philosophy from Holland, (who has the honour of a Pension from the King of France) begs leave to give the following Sketch of what is to be seen at his Exhibition:

A fixed Flower—a Sun turning round, varying in figure—a Star varying—a Triangle—a Dragon pursuing a Serpent—a Star of Knighthood—a Flame proper for Lighthouses, to the Splendour and brilliancy of which, the rays of One Hundred Patent Lamps, collected in the same focus, would be much inferior.

A central Piece is exhibited on the Grand Apparatus, that undergoes 120 changes of figure, which it performs by a multitude of interfering circles, each having a rotatory motion on its own axis.—To this are added Eight CADRES, confifting of 80 different Flames each, rofe-coloured and green. The half display of this piece produces several thousand Flames, representing all Colours imaginable, and in the most striking symmetry, the whole without Smell, Smoke, or Gunpowder.

In the intervals of the Exhibition, the Saloon is lighted by an AEROSTATIC BRANCH, suspended from the Cupola of the Saloon, in which a light is produced in an inflant of time, which the Operator varies at will, and extinguishes in an inflant.—During these intervals,

MR. CARTWRIGHT

Performs a very difficult and much-admired Selection of MUSIC, on his new-improved Set of MUSICAL GLASSES.

Mr. CARTWRIGHT also attends, at the request of several Perfons of Dillinflection, to perform from Twelve to Three o'clock, every Day, at the LYCEUM, at 25. 6d. each.

Mr. DILLER, the Inventor, in order to prevent miftakes, begs to inform the Public, that it is never intended to exhibit more than two parts of the large Apparatus, on the fame evening, as the Machinery, which must be flationary, and cannot be removed at will, remaining in view, might intimate the contrary, the Third being referred to vary the ensuing Exhibition, the whole of which, being performed upon a moſt complicated Machinery, renders it wonderful, that the Intervals for charging the Refervoirs (which muſt not be done but on the occasion) are so short.

To Admittance to the GRAND SALOON, 5s.—To the GALLERY, 3s.—Doors open at Seven, begins at Eight o'clock.

A true and particular Relation of a
frightful GHOST,

Which has appeared Three Nights at Kentish Town, and is
fuppofed to be the Apparition of Joseph Richards, who
was executed laft Monday for Murdering his Mafter.

DARK the night, twelve the hour,
Mortals gone to bed,
Wide then ope'd the yawning graves,
To vomit forth the dead;
Spec'tres for a certain time
Doom'd to walk the night,
Wake from fleep the finful man,
And his foul affright.

The patroles, who at Kentish Town
Their nightly rounds do take,
A fpectre faw, whole horrid form
Di't make their hearts to quake;
White was the phantom, flow its pace,
As it to them drew near,
The likenefs of young Richards then
Moft plainly did appear.

At length it silence to them broke,
And difmally did cry,
Behold the Ghoft of him who late
For murder here did die;
With Mr. Horfeman I did dwell,
A mafter good and kind,
Until by Sat.-n's curfed wiles
To fin I was inclin'd.

With cruel hands my mafter kill'd,
Moft wicked took his life,
Orphans his helplefs children are,
A widow is his wife;
In realms of blifs he now doth dwell,
Whilft I muft howl below,
No tongue can tell my prifon houſe,
Or paint the ſcene of woe.

O fatal hour when in that houſe
I firſt was ta'en to dwell,
O fatal time, by Satan's power;
When to this fin I fell;

O fatal deed, to ruin both
The body and the foul,
No winding fleet my bones to hold,
No bell did for me toll.

Sleep on, dear babes, whom I depriv'd
Of father and of friend,
O may the Lord's all-powerful hand,
Proſect and them defend;
Shield them from all the ills of life,
And give them laſting blifs,
That aided by religion's power
They heaven may not miſs.

O thoughtleſts men did ye but know,
What guilty finners feel,
But I'm forbid to mortal ears
My prifn to reveal;
O turn your hearts, ſhun finful ways,
Which lead to laſting pain,
If once your precious foul is loſt
You ne'er can it regain,

But hark ! the cock with his ſhrill notes
Doth ſummons me away,
The dew-worm creeping into earth
Denotes the approach of day;
When I to horrid torments then
Muſt render up my foul,
Endure thole torments ne'er to end;
Whilft age on age doth roll.

This faſd, the phantom diſappear'd;
And left them pale with ſear,
A diſmal tale it ſurely is,
As ever you did hear;
O May ſuch ſuch wicked deeds as theſe
Befeldom ever known,
That men may quit their wicked ways,
To viſtuous deeds be prong.

The Last DYING Speech and Confession, Birth, Parentage and Education, Life, Character and Behaviour, of

Judas Ifcariot.

Who was turned off on Thursday last 3d. Instant, in the City of Westminster; for wilfully and maliciously abusing, vilifying, and attempting to defraud the MAN OF THE PEOPLE; and also for Swindling the CITIZENS OF WEST-MINSTER of their just Rights and Privileges, in conjunction with one CONSCIENCE BAILIFF, who is not yet taken.

JUDAS ISCARIOT was born of honest and industrious parents, in the year 1735 at Ashby, a village in the county of Lincoln, who gave him a decent education at a tolerable grammar school in Oxfordshire, where he continued to the death of his worthy father; when coming to a little money he commenced gentleman, and behaved exceeding well for some years. But suddenly taking a wrong turn and not having the fear of God before his eyes, he behaved in a most shameful and barbarous manner to his best friend, the Man of the People; who had been unto him even as a parent. After which he grew so abandoned, and led so profligate a life that he attempted to take the bread from the lame and the blind; and as if this was not enough, the devil who never fails at a pinch, tempted him to trample upon, and diftrefls with all his might numbers of Servant Maids; other villainous and cruel acts (too numerous to relate) were committed by him and his affiliates, all of whom it is to be hoped will meet, sooner or later, with the fate they deserve. Probably these enormous crimes might have gone unpunifhed, had it not been for the very alarming and uncommon fwindling and defraud on the Citizens of Westminfter, whose petition and allegations were heard before a respectable Jury, who condemned him to be turned off on Thursday last, the 3d of March, 1785.

Judas Ifcariot was in his person rather meagre and lanky, about 5 feet 10 inches high, of a fallow complexion and was about 50 years of age.—After his condemnation he behaved with feeming penitence, and was attended by Churchy, the Gally-pot-ite who

adminiftered unto him. As also the Ordinary to the Scrub-Committee.

The following is an authentic copy of a Letter he wrote to his Sweetheart, just before his arrival at the fatal Tree.

DEAR PEGGY,

This will be the last letter you will ever receive from me, who am now a poor condemned outcast; for my crimes have been so great, I cannot hope for mercy. Oh that I had followed the advice of my good parents, who always cautioned me to be sober and honest; but ingratitude, and villainous company have been my undoing, and brought me to this fatal end.—Oh my dear Peggy, pray for and remember your poor Judas and think on his sufferings. When I reflect on the many happy hours we have spent together, tears trickle from my eyes and my heart is ready to break. Be faithful unto my love, and if Billy Plumb, the favorite of the Grocers Company, tempt you with his fugar words, believe him not—for oh I could a tale unfold, would harrow up thy tender foul—O Peggy, Peggy, the Backstairs, alas!—why did I go up the Backstairs?——they have been my ruin.

Alas, how sinful have I been! Oh what a life was mine, Writs of many a wicked foe, And many a bad design. !

P. S. If ever you should fee Conscience Bailiff, remember me to him, tell him I thought of him in my last moments—Heaven protect you dear Peggy.

Adieu,

THOUGH the principles of the ENGLISH TONGUE have already prefented editions of themselves, through the ceafelefs in-veftigation of the preſent adverſer; BRITISH DICTION has never hitherto hazarded expofure to public view. ENGLISH brought to perſection, was ſill incapable of ſtability, where only heard; as doubleſes of propagation, where that which was unheard, was likewife invisible; where that which was read, could therefore only contribute to deceive. What the poſhed learning of Athens, Rome, Florence, Paris, has done to perſect, preferve, perpetuate, their conſequentially celebrated tongues; has become (through whatever caufes) the province of the ſtranger, the ſojourner of the British metropolis; who, originally of Edinburgh, thence doubt-ful of his diſion, early ſtudied, ſought, brought to demonſtra-tion, every article, particle; ſeparate, conſolidated; of the ENGLISH composition; who, having thus endeavoured to leave nothing undone, poſtponed however that, without which the whole done continued almoſt uſeleſs. The Architect resolved therefore to ſinſh his ediſe, already raiſed to the pinnacle. The ſingle requisite was the exhibition of that ORTHOGRAPHY, which (un-arraignable of exſeſs, deſiſence, miſrepreſentation) only could ſub-ſtiate, eſtablish, ſpread abroad the treaſures, the beauties of the building. Of ORTHOGRAPHY's irrefragable importance this very paragraph affords ſufficient ſpecimen; every moſt diminutive con-ſtituent of which, promiſing one image, preſents another.

A Full, True, and Particular Account
Of an atrocious and inhuman Set of
Murderers and Thieves

Who had for a great Number of Years infested the NEW FOREST,
in HAMPSHIRE, (principally in the Neighbourhood of the
Town of LYMINGTON, where they had a Cave underground of
a Quarter of a Mile in Length, in which they concealed their
Plunder, which confited of all Kinds of rich Goods to a moft
amazing Amount.

Also the miraculous discovery of a great number of Young Ladies, which these atrocious Villains had forced or decoyed from their disconfolate Parents, and different Boarding-Schools in that County, also some in the Neighbourhood of London, which they kept confined in some elegant, though subteraneous, Apartments, adjoining to their Grand Gavern,

THE following most dreadful Account of the amazing depedations committed by the above inhuman Milcreants about the towg of Limingon was transmitted by exprefs to a Gentleman of large fortune in Portman Square on Tuesday last, therefore may be depended upon.

A Gavern of considerable dimensions was
yesterday discovered in the New Forest, its inha-
bitants were taken into custody by a detachment
of dragoons quartered hereto counteract
the motions of the smugglers and he following
particulars are the result of the exmination, taken
before the fitting Magistrates,

During the period of almost five years this
infernal den had been made the receptacle of
theft and plunder.—Goods of every description
were found deposited, and a subteraneous range
of apartments, which extended near a quar-
ter of a mile afford too meloncholy a proof of
the success which attended the depredations of
this formal band t.i.

The captain of this gang being interrogated;
was fullen and obfinate; but induced by the
hopes of pardon he has ſince difeolofed ſuch a
ſcene of cruelties that humain nature ſhrink
from the recital of crimes which none but de-
vils could carry into ex- cutien

No leſs then thirty bodies have been taken
up from a deep well ſuppoſed to have been
murdered and depoſited there by the way of
concealment.

While an Officer and a party of soldiers were
rumaging about this dreadful cavern where they

had no other light than a small lanthern, they
heard a Woman finging in a very melancholy
strain; they immediately proceeded to the place
from whence the voice proceeded, where they
found a large maffy oak door entirely covered
with thick iron plates, it was ſatened with
fix locks the keys of which the Captain confef-
fed were kept by himself and five of his head
men.

It took the party the greatest part of an hour
to break open this strong door, but what was
their aftonifhment when on opening it they ſaw
about a dozen moſt beautiful young ladies but
with moſt defied countenances, on finding it
was not their inhuman ravishers who were en-
tering, but ſome friends coming to releafe them
they ſhowed the moſt enthufſaſtijoy, and told
their delivers that they all had been decoyed
from their friends and boarding ſchools, and
cenveyd to this infernal dungeon where they
had been foſed to ſatisfy the brutal luſts of
their inhuman ravishers.

The number of watches jewels &c. that
have been produced from this magazine of plun-
der juſtify the moſt alarming ſupſeion whole
cuntry is in an uproar and it was much difficult
ty the prifinos were the was from the ſury an
exaſperated noise which ſurrounded the Council
Chamber while various depoſitions were taken
by the magiſtrate.

Twenty-three above wretches were committed to Winchefter jail to take their trial at the next affizes for the County of Southampton.—The Dragoons are in puruit of about fifty more, of whom they have got intelligee. It is ſincerely to be wifhed they may catch them and bring them to justice.

in the Front of the Battle, he knew I could not break your head; M'Ketrick
has given us a fample of lovely Philly's warlike Proweſs when he left the
Serjeant to do his own Duty againſt the Mountain Negroes. The Blockhead
likes to attack inoffenſive helpleſs Women, or what could incite his black
heart to write ſUNT with a c on the Mrs. Holmans' Door.* Decency to
you, Madama, who are the Quinteſſence of polite Breeding quinteſſencified,
ſhould admoniſh him to be more guarded in his foolerles. Do tell your
dear lovely Philly to mend his manners—You together chufe to qualify me
a Scot, I beg pardon for giving you the Lie direct, I am rather forry it is
not true, but the Truth is, I was born in Pall-mall Court, my Mother a very
good Engliſh Woman, and I was chriſtened by that truly eminent, good and

NEW INVENTED AIR TRAPS,

IN CAST IRON,

For Sinks, and all other Inlets to Drains, Cefs-Pools, Sewers, &c.

THE Application of which totally prevents the Emission of those
disagreeable and unwholesome Effluvias, so much complained
of in almost all Houfes, even in many where much Expence has been
beftowed on Traps of Lead, &c. erroneously construed.

These TRAPS are extremely simple, easily fixed by any common
Workman, and can at any Time be perfectly cleaned in a few Minutes.
This Property renders them much fuperior to any others, as it totally
prevents the Drains, &c. from contracting that Foulneſs which frequently
renders it neceflary to have them opened, for the Purpofe of
cleaning; an Operation, above all others, moſt disagreeable and offenſive
in inhabited Houſes.

The Price is only Fifteen Shillings each, an Expence which bears
no Proportion to their very great Utility.

THESE TRAPS are fold at J. BRAMAH's ENGINE MANUFACTORY,
West End of Piccadilly, London :

And may be had of moſt of the Carpenters, Mafons, Bricklayers, &c. in
and near London.

A true and affecting Narrative,
Of the horrid Cruelties committed by John Jo--s, upon the
Bodies of his two Children, one of which he took out of Bed
by the Heels, and dashed its Head againft the Wall, so that
its Skull is fractured, tho' only two Years of Age ; and the
other he almost choaked.

For which Crimes, and a strong Suspicion of murdering his Wife, he is
now confined in the New Gaol, in the Borough.

THE following dreadful and cruel
tranſaction happened on Friday
morning laſt, at a house in
Bear Lane, Southwark.

One John Jo- es, who ſold candles
and soap in the above lane, is the ſubject
of this mournful detail ; on Wednesday
laſt his wife died, leaving two children,
the youngest aged two years and a half,
the eldest four years and a half.

On Friday morning, between the hours
of twelve and one, a woman who lodges
in the house, and whole room was next
to J—s's, overheard him lay to one of
the children,

Do you love your daddy?

The poor innocent child anſwered,
yes.

On which he ſaid, you shall not love
me long.

Soon after this, the woman heard a ter-
sible groaning, and getting afflіſtance, the
door was broke open, when they found
the youngest child on the floor, almost
deaf, the other in the fame pitiable ſitu-
ation.

He was immediately taken into cauſe,
dy, and the children carried to the work-
house.

On the Surgeons examining their
wounds, they found the ſkull of the
youngest fractured in ſo dangerous a man-
ner, that it cannot poffibly ſurvive.

The eldest had been so violently pinch-
ed round the throat, that its recovery is
doubtful.

This led to further suspicion, the body
of his wife being examined, was found to
be much bruised, and the Coroners In-
quest is to fit upon it.

The man is committed to the New
Gaol, to anſwer for the ſuppoſed murder
of his wife, and the ill treatment of his
children.

A COPY of VERSES.

Of all the cruel deeds that ſtand
Upon the annals of this land,
This surely shall be deem'd the worst,
And by good people most accurate.

John J—es in Bear Lane he did dwell,
His wife did die as I do tell,
Two infants the behind her left,
Of their poor mother thus bereft.

On Wednesday the did end her life,
On Friday he did caufe this ſtrife,
Soon in the morning thus he ſaid
Unto his child, do you love your dad ?

Poor little infant, void of fear,
It faid, I love you, father, dear,
O then, ſaid he, it ſhall not be long
Before I change your lifing ſongs.

He took this infant out of bed,
Again it the wall he beat its head,
It's ſkull he fractur'd very fore,
And left it gasping on the floor.

O then the eldest he did feize,
About the throat he did it ſqueeze,
The eldest was but four years old,
The youngest turn'd of two, I'm told.

But by God's help, he was with ſpeed
Secured for this wcked deed,
And the poor children quickly they
Unto the workhouse did convey.

Suspicion strong that he his wife
Did wickedly derive of li e,
Unto the New Gaol he is sent,
These wicked deeds for to repent.

FOR THE ENGLISH CHRONICLE.

IT was my intention, Mr. Editor, to have gra-
tified your impatient readers with a transcript of
the fair Bowzy's Answrs in the prefent Number,
had I not been informed of a few objections, which
have been made to a paffage in my firft commu-
nication, and which (as I pride myfelf on the
character of a molft faithful and friendly Editor)
I hold it my prime duty to obviate and remove.

It has been urged, then, (amongst other things)
that the lines which define the three lions fa-
your of fatre, and molft, therefore, be an inter-
polation of mine; it not being probable that the
divine arift would paf a cenfure on his own
works. This objection, which is directly levelled
at the authenticity of my communications, claims
a regard, which I do not think due to its criti-
cal acumen; I shall therefore briefly reply to it.
This is the paffage—

— On the flow'ry turf there lay.

Three lions' jowls, thrown on a heap,

— One finging, and two faft aſſeep;

With forefops to pomafum'd down,

And faces fo much like my own,

That "M"— told me, wicked Rumour

Swore they were—PETERS IN GOOD HUMOUR.

Critics, who do not attend to the important
circumstances of time and place, are very liable to
e Error; and I know more than one inflance, where
a ſupertical writer, judging of other times from
his own, has impertinently ridiculed what he
ought to have admired. I do not mean to ap-
ply this harſh language to the author of the ob-
fefition in queſtion; though I cannot help faying,
that he feels to have found it on a ſimil ar con-
ſuſion of circumstances, and to have taken his
idea of the Lions before us, from the Lions in
the Tower—than which there cannot be a greater
proof of premature judgment. If he will advert
to the time of the picture, he will find that the
beafs were " not noce nt yet," and that the lions,
in particular, were notoriously gentle and good-
humoured.

— They ramp'd, and in their paws
Dandled the kids.

Which can by no means be faid of the lions of
the prefent day. Well and wifely, therefore,
hath our judicious arift paid a reverent attention
to propriety, and made his animals ancedelavians,
that is to fay, ſuch as have never been feen ſince
the flood.

The objection to their being powdered and po-
matum'd is too frivolous to be noticed. They
were probably dreffed out for the ocſenion.—
Adam, like any other man in his fituation, was
undoubtably anxious to have every thing about
him look as finart as poffible.

The reſemblance too, between our hero and the
lions, has startled fome; as they cannot conceive
that any one would mention a circumſtance ſo
derogatory to the " human face divine." But
this is begging the queſtion; for it does not ap-
pear that the idea of deregation is ſo prevalent as
theſe critics fuppofe it to be. I read of a rulic
in Theocritus, who wifled to become a GOAT on
a certain occafion, (God forbid this ſhould be
thought to allude to our molft continent divine)
and I know of others that would be glad not only
to exchange faces, but even *** hiaui in man;**
** with beaſts many degrees inferior to lions.—
Let us hear no more, then, of this ill-founded
criticism; but let us rather jeal in admiring the

* Probably Mungo, the thew-man.

taſe and impartiality of our great arſit. Know-
ing, as I ſaid before, that the paradifical lions
were mild and gentle, he would not draw them
from his natural countenance, which would have
grievously wronged the poor beaſts; but, like a
man of honour, SAT for them in his beſt looks.
They were not, as M—s vifitants properly
obſerved, Peters in his every-day face; no—they
were—" PETERS IN GOOD HUMOUR."

Apropos of M—s vifitants. They will ſee,
by the following ſory, which is literally true,
that they are not the firſt who remarked the
wonderful ſimilarity of our gentle shepherd's ſea-
tures to thofe of a lion. When Peters was at
Venice, he lived for ſome time with an English
family, who were unufuſully kind to him, and
took him about to fight, &c. that is, to flew
the monitors to him, and him to the monſtifiers.
One day they went to look at the old lion in St.
Mark's Place—and it is incredible, what an aver-
fion the good old animal took to our hero. He
fuſſered all the better spizzed folks to eye him
with impunity—nay, feemed flattered by their
kind attention; but the moment his Reverence
placed his unaccountable face to the gratings, (and
he was obliged to place it the Joſler, on account
of his being near-fight'd) all was uproar and con-
fuſion. The old lion, who did not immediately
obſerve his mane, took him for a female, and
was trotting towards him with great complacen-
cy, when, unfortunately diſcovering his lex, he
ſprang forward with unexampl'd ſury. Crack
went the grating—back fell the divine Peters in
a swoor, and away camſpered the reſt of the peo-
ple, ſuppling the lion to at their heels. This
miftake of the worthy old beaſt occafioned a good
deal of mirth, when it was cleared up; and he
and our hero pafed into a proverb, in confe-
quence of it. Nay, ſo late as the ſpring of
eighty-eight, when the Goudoliers meant to ſay
that any one looked EXTREMELY PIARSE, they
faid indifferently—" la le volte del buon Piz-
TRO," or " fa le volte del leone de San Marco!"

# The true and particular Account of that famous Battle,

## Which was fought at Rickmansworth, in Hertfordshire, on
Wenefday, February the 11th, between the noted He-
roes, Johnson and Ryan.

ON Wednesday the eleventh day of February, 1789, being the day which was appointed for deciding the contest, between those two noted champions, Johnson and Ryan, the combatants met, by agreement, at a place called Rickmansworth, in the county of Hertford.

There was a flage erected in a hollow place, from which gravel had been dug, so that the spectators had a fine view of the battle.

Before the champions came on the flage, theod's were in favour of Johnson, and when they made their appearance, the sporting people offered to lay fix to four on him.

Being stript, and having shook hands, they set to.

Humpnries was second to Johnson, Ward to Ryan.

They had also bottle holders, and other attendants.

After a few manouvering spars, Ryan gave Johnson a knock down blow, which bringing the first, met with great applause from the spectators, and made the betts rather more in his favour than at first.

But after a severe contest, which lasted upwards of thirty two minutes, victory declared in favour of Johnson, who gave his antagonist a compleat overthrow.

It was allowed by every one that they both fought well, and did their best, not did Ryan give it in until he was beat in a severe manner, and unable to fight any longer.

The sum which they fought for was one hundred guineas on each fide, and a great deal of money was likewise depending on the battle.

## A New Song.

Of Johnson I sing, who fought Ryan so free.

Of the brave Johnson for ever, brave Johnson for ever, buzza!

The day being come, many hundreds were there,

And Rickmansworth then appeared like a fair,

When the champions they stript, and to fight did prepare.

Then having set to, each his courage to shew,

Bild Ryan gave Johnson a very fine blow, And so on the flage he was laid very low.

But Johnson got up, and he set to again, The battle he meant for to win it was plain,

So fought till the blood did run down again.

When 72 minutes they were gone and past, Poor Ryan he gave up the contest at last, For Johnson's blows came so thick and so fast.

Many of the fame Bufinefs have reported I am Married again, which is totally falfe and without Foundation, it being calculated to miflead my Cuftomers, therefore hope they will take the Trouble to enquire of the Boys where they come from; the advanced Time of my Life, and the unhealthy Situation, has almost deprived me of my Sight, which cannot induce me to contract a piece of Bufinefs of that Nature any more.

I hope from the number of Years that I have lived in the Parish, and paid all lawful Demands, and the well known care that I have always taken of the many poor Boys which I have had under my protection, that the good opinion of my Friends and Cuftomers will never be leffened by fuch malicious and ungrateful Proceedings, having no other way but the Bufinefs of a Chimney Sweeper to procure a Livelihood.

\*\* By Night or Day when Notice is given, due Attendance shall be punctually ob- served.

N. B. All Orders left at the Spread Eagle, Old North Street, Red Lion Square, will be punctually attended to.

He can hear a great deal, and ſay naething—he can talk a great deal, and mean

LONDON: Printed for J. WHEBLE, No. 37, LUDGATE-STREET.

St. Mary, Whitechapel.

May 19, 1788.

SIR,

YOU are moſt earneſtly requeſted to attend the Church To-morrow
Morning, to elect and chufe FORTY TRUSTEES for the Year enſuing; and to con-
fider of a proper Mode of turning out all Atheiſts, Deiſts, Welleys, Methodiſts,
Free-Thinkers, Quakers, Seekers, Swadlers, Ranters, Bawlers, Canters, Fifth
Monarchy Men, Whitfieldiſts, Dumplinites, Foxiſtes, Madanites, Ifraelites, Arianſ,
Socinians, Sublapſarians, Supralapſarians, Antinomians, Arminians, Baxteriſts,
Hutchenioniſts, Moravians, Enthusiſts, Roman Catholicks, Independants, Ana-
baptiſts, Seven Day Men, Guttlers, Drunkards, German Sugar Lakers, and Publicans;
and to come to a Reſolution that none but STAUNCH CHURCHMEN, not being Publicans,
and MEN OF NO RELIGION, not being Publicans, ſhall rule the Parifh in future, and
eat of the GOOD THINGS OF THIS LIFE at the Expence of others.

The Church-Warden will take the Chair exaſtly as the Clock ſtrikes Ten, and
proceed to Bufineſs immediately; ſo Gop bleſs you, be there in Time, for the
Church is in Danger.

N.B. The Committee for the above Purpofe meet To-night at Mr. Parker's, the
Angel and Crown, facing the Church.

The Dispenfary for disordered Apparel,

Either by Wear, Tare, Burn, Misfitting, or any other Complaint whatever, the latter being a Complaint in-
cident to Lveries, frequently occasioned by the removal of Servants, even fould they be wanting in
Length and Beath, fhall be fpeedily cured without Blemifh, &c. &c.

AND after the curious Manufacturer, by Care, Skill and Labour, has highly finifhed off beautiful and coft-
ly ornamental Covering for the Human Body, it fhall not be degraded by being put together in a flom-
kin and bungling Manner, but fhedped genteel, free, and eafy, and put together with Strength and Beauty,
fo that it fhall both do juflice to the Manufacturer and honor to the Wearer, having Infruments for that Pur-
foſe, which are of themfelves infallible, if not miſguided by fomething which is mortal, of which all poffible
Care will be taken to prevent, but to avoid too much Quackery Puffing, will come to ocular demonſtration,
by producing fome of their Performance; Viz. A tolerable decent Suit on his Back, made out of Two very raged
old Coats, bought in *Reſoſary-Lane* for Eighteen Pence, and a Coat that will admit of Four different changes of
Fafhings, made out of a much fmaller fixed raged old Coat and Breeches, bought at the fame Place for Two-
Shillings; Breeches neatly fitted in the common Way without Leg-feams, Ditto to wear either fide outward as
two Pair, either Leather and Cloth, or what any Gentleman may chufe, that can be put on and off without
dilurbing Boors or Shoes, even fould they be dirty; and ditto with more Conveniences then either, without
any Seam at all.

Ladies Riding Habits made in the genteeleſt Tafle, and thofe Ladies who make uſe of Drawers may have them made on the new invented Breeches Plan, without a Seam at all, like a Napkin, and with fuch Conve-
niences never feen before: Young Gentlemen's firſt Cloaths made on a ufeful and diverting humorous Plan,
never done by any but himſelf; this Operator will undertake to make a decent Coat in the prefent Tafle,
which fhall be both for Service and Beauty, nearly equal to any new Coat, out of (almost) the worſt Coat that
was ever thrown off a Trademan's back; very or ſingular Operations upon Coats, can be authenticated by
Mr. *Babar*, at his Hat Manufactory, Charing-Croſs; Mr. *Price*, Clock and Watch-Maker and Mender,
No. 26, St. Martin's Lane; Mr. *Burford*, Tobaccoſt, Little St. Andrew-Street, Seven Dials;
Mr. *Hutchinſon*, Linen-Draper, No. 1, Berkly-Square; Mr. *Vofe*, Peruke-Maker, in Bedford-Street,
Bedford-Row; Mr. *Iſherwood*, at the Fountain, Pearleſs-Pool, in the City-Road; and Mr. *Mardle*, Copper-Smith,
in Houndſditch: The above Performances are at prefent carried on in a Three Pair of Stairs Chambers,

No. 127, near Exeter - Change, in the Strand,

Number on the Door, which is always open in the Day-Time, but the Bufneſs has been much retarded, for
the want of fome neceſſary Infruments to carry it on, notwithſtanding, neither Idlenefs nor Extravagance
have had any Share in the caufe of that Complaint, there not being Ten Shillings-worth of Animal Food
or Liquors of any Kind, except Mint-Tea, been expended amongſt Six Perfons for theſe Ten Months palf,
Four of that Number being Girls, and all incapable of earning One Penny, the Two Eldeſt by Misfortune,
and the other Twoby their Youth, under this Load, together with the Narroweſs of the prefent Circumſtances
it's found to be too hard a Taſk to rife up in the World; he therefore flatters himſelf that by making this his
real Cafe known to the Public, that they will out of Humanity affift his Endeavours to ſupport his Family, in
a more Chriſtian-like Manner then at prefent, being more like Swine or other Beaſts, not having Six-penny-
worth of Linen amongſt Six Perfons, and all other Necefſaries wanting in like Manner; The Taſk is great!
But yet not ſo great but what Numbers may Conquer, therefore will reſl upon Faith to believe that the Number
of well diſpofed People theſe may fall into the hands of, will never let it be faſt that ſuch a Trademanſ was
found flarved to Death amongſt the Rags, (where at prefent he now lies,) under the Shop-Board, whoſe high-
eſt Ambition is only to live and die on the Top of it, and to be enabled to join Temporance with Prudence,
to aſt in conjunction with Fortitude and Juflice, through the ſmall remaining Paſſage of this Life.

September 29th, 1786,- Being entered into the Third Year of the above mentioned Appartments, and this
being the firſt Application, will give a full and true Account of the Benefits and Progreſs arifing from theſe
Bills, in my next, &c. &c.

Your Commands will be waited on To-morrow, or a Line will be immediately attended,

By your obliged humble Servant, John Shakeſpear.

To the PUBLIC in General.

MIDDLESEX,
(to wit.)

WHEREAS STEPHEN DARCEY, MILK-MAN and Carrier, came this day and
made Oath before me, one of his Majeſtly's Juftices of the Peace, in and for the
faſd County of Middleſex, that he will ſell neat NEW MILK at Two-pence Half-
penny per Quart, without any adulteration; nor will he cauſe any perfon or perſons to
adulterate it on his account, under the penalty of Ten Pounds ſterling.—The Cows
are milked twice a day at Kentiſh Town; and will pledge himſelf to ſuch Ladies and
Gentlemen who chooſe to favour him with their cuſtom, that when the faſd Milk has
flood (for cream) twenty-four hours, not the leaſt Sediment will be found, which is a
circumstance rarely to be met with.

Sworn before me this 30th day of Jan. 1787.

Stephen Darcey,

No. 3, New-rents, St. Martin's-le-Grand.

STEPHEN DARCEY begs leave moſt humbly to return his grateful acknowledgements to a generous
Public, for the great encouragement he has experienced in ſelling Milk free from adulteration, which he
will continue to perform, being determined every drop vended by him ſhall be genuine, and full meaſure,
at 2d. halfpenny per quart.—Thofe cuſtomers he cannot poffiblly attend, may depend on being ſerved
with Milk in the fame purity received from the cows, by perſons ſent, with Pails cleofely locked, in order
to prevent any abufe in the above commodity, too often præſtified by his cotemporaries.

We have often heard of advicemonts from
parishes for an *Outfodex* preacher, a *Goffet*
preacher, and a preacher that *fear'd the Lord*
but never till yefterday did we fee a Clergyman
advertised for as one would adverſe for a *h. f. s. —*
It runs in the world thus:

"WANTED, a strong, bold, useful PARSOX, who
can do the duty of an exſpective parſis near Bir-
mingham, &c. &c. *Gart. Dec. 1787*

AUGUST 19, 1784.

To the Worthy, Independent ELECTORS of the Ancient and
Honourable BOROUGH of GARRAT.

GENTLEMEN,

YOUR VOTES, INTEREST, and POLL, (if ne-
ceffary) are humbly requesfted for

Sir SAMUEL FENUGREEK,
Kt. and Barrownight,

Who is a Gentleman, and no Gentleman, of diſtinguifhed and undiſtin-
guifhed Abilities, and a Rectifier of all Miftakes and Blunders; and if
he should be ſo happy as to gain your free and unbiaſſed Suffrages (as he
ſcorns to defcend to the mean Arts of Bribery and Corruption) to repre-
fent and miſrepreſent you in the enſuing Parliament Out-of-Doors, he
will promife you great Things till he gets Poffeffion of his Seat; ſuch
as—that he will exert himſelf to the utmoſt of his Power to obtain a fair
and equal Repreſentation—to ſhorten the Duration of Parliaments—to
eafe the heavy Burthens of the People, by paying off the National Debt,
without ſuch an enormous Load of Taxes—and to redreſſ all No-National
Grievances whatever.

But more particularly, he will pay a ſtrict Attention to the Improve-
ment of Agriculture in this Country, and will diſcover a new Method of
raifing Fennel, (or more properly Fenugreek) from which Sir Samuel's
Anceſtors derived their Name and Honours; this will be of great Uſe to
himſelf, as well as to other little great Men, as it is a fine Stomachie,
Cathartico, Emetico Medicine, and a ſufficient Dofe taken every Evening,
will make a Man forget all the Promifes he made in the Morning; for as
Promifes are, like Pye-Cruft, made to be broken, if they lie too long on
the Stomach without Digeſtion, they are apt to vitiate the Conſtitution,
which Sir Samuel is determined to preſerve ſafe and ſound.

It will be his utmoſt Study to inſpect minutely into the State of this
Nation, reſpeſting its Revenues, and in what Manner the fame are ap-
plied towards defraying the Exigencies of this Nation, and lay the fame
(out-of-Doors) before you. And particularly the new Mode of Taxes
from the laſt Budget, which he hopes you will all agree to be very injurious
and oppreſſive to the Public at large; for the Parliament (within-Doors)
think we are not enough exhauſted with Burthens, but mean (in cafe we
don't agree with their Meaſures) to deprive us of the Light of Heaven,
and to ſtarve us to Death with Cold. He believes his fellow Freemen all
underſtand his Meaning upon this Subject, and they may rely on his beſt
Endeavours to ſcout this Part of the Tax from the Budget.

The early Attendance of Sir Samuel's Friends is earneſtly requeſted at the Royal Union Flag, Garrat Common Field, Garrat Lane, on Tuesday the 24th Inſt. in order to eat, drink, and be merry; as a Specimen of what they may always expect to enjoy (at their own Coſt) if he is returned duly elected their Repreſentative in the Out-Door Parliament.

HUZZA!
SIR SAMUEL FENUGREEK FOR EVER!

A wonderful Prophecy.

Before the first day of the next new year,
Strange wonders in this kingdom shall
appear;

Four potent kings shall reign within this il-
Where they shall caufe great tumults for
a while;

Dead bones again shall rattle up and down
In every city and in every town,
By day or night this tumult shall not cease;

Until a Herald shall proclam a peace;

A Herald ſtrange, the like was never born,
His beard shall be of fleeh, his nofe and
mouth of horn,

To those only whom it Concerns, 1783.

RD. GJY, deires in the mot earst manner, amicably to fentle
accords, that is, to Pay, and be Paid: which he hopes will be
a great Satisfaction to both Parties, for Delays are DANGEROUS, and as it
is justly oſerved STORE RECKONINGS keep LONG FRIENDS, to preferve
good Fellowship, and prevent diſates in Accents, he keeps no
book, but always pays Real Mony, ſo that it has put it quite out
his Power ever to give any Credit. But he will at all times take
what Ready Money he can get, and be very thankful, he traits his Friends
will Remember not to come nor tend to him without Mony, he is
very forry to tell them it will not be in his Power to serve them any more
without being Paid, he is a very great ſufferer by giving Credit.

So for the future please to Pay as you go,
There will be no more Credit given, I know.

Take good Notice, he has paid all his Jact Debts, and that is doing
as he would be done unto, but he ſtill continues Daily giving his
opinion of me, to all his worthy good Old Friends that Aſk's him,
for that molt Abominable and Horrible Sin of Ingratitude, he utterly abides.

So I did not regard de Dotch Robers at all.

To pite off his Nofe which 'tis certain I did.

For pite his own Nofe, and fwear it vas me.

COURT at the SHAKESPEARE.

HIS Majesty CHARLES Fox having been graciously pleased to grant to the Hon. LORD JACK STRAW the Office of Candidate to represent the City of WESTMINSTER, in the Room of LORD HOOD—Orders have been issued to all the Privates quartered at BROOKS’s, to hold themselves in Readiness to march, at a Moment’s Warning, to support him in his Election.

Mr. TRING, Mr. BRADYLL's Chairman, is appointed a Staff-officer, in the Blue and Buff Squad; and various Promotions in the Irish Brigade, lately quartered under the Piazza, will take place in a few Days.

Barracks are fitting up, at Wood's Hotel, for their Accommodation.

WHEREAS it hath been represented to his said Majesty, That the Vote of Thanks of the House of Commons to LORD RODNEY, LORD HOOD, and the other Officers engaged in the Actions of 12th and 19th of April, 1782, may prejudice LORD JACK STRAW in his Canvas—It is his said Majesty's Pleasure, that the said Vote be immediately expunged from the Journals.

It having been affected by some evil-minded Perfons, that Lord JACK STRAW is a Novus Homo, and of no Family or Credit, and therefore unfit to represent the Ancient City of WESTMINSTER; his said Majesty in full Council has been pleased to declare, That the said Lord JACK has, or has had, a Father, Mother, Brothers, Sifters, Uncles, Aunts, and cousins; and that he is entitled to Public Confidence in Right of the Motto of his Lordship's Coat of Arms,

“Hæc Generi incrementa Fides.”

And it hath been made appear to his said Majesty and Council, that the said LORD JACK had once the Honour to stand Candidate for the BOROUGH of RUTLAND, and that he lost his Election by a single Vote only.

Upon the Representation of Lord DERBY, Colonel HANGER, Mr. O'BRIEN, and other Respectable Perfons, that the late Proclamation againft Vice, Immorality, and Prophanenefs, is a great Check upon their Proceedings in Support of Lord JACK; his said Majesty and Council have determined to Suspend the said Proclamation within the Precincts and Liberties of COVENT GARDEN and ST. JAMES's STREET, during the present Contest.

A Reward having lately been offered for the Discovery of the Perfons who were concerned in breaking open the Cabinet at DEVONSHIRE-HOUSE, and it having been represented to his said MAJESTY and COUNCIL, that a farther Inveftigation of the Bufinefs would endanger the Interests of the popular Candidate—Orders have been issued to all their Juftices of the Peace, and others, to make no Enquiry into the Matter till the Election is over; and, in the mean Time, that MASON be not suffered to impeach his Accomplices.

Office of the Mint, Wood's Hotel.

NOTICE is hereby given, That a new COINAGE (of VOTES) will be issued from this Office after the first five Days of the WESTMINSTER POLL. And if the Check Clerks for Lord Hood shall refuse to pay such Coinage, an Information will be exhibited againſt them by Mr. Attorney-General COCKER.

Shakespeare Tavern.

The following incendiary Letter, having been lately ſent to Mr. SHERIDAN, his said MAJESTY's Pardon, and a reward of 500l. (in NOTES) is offered to any Perfon or Perſons who shall diſcover the Offender or Offenders, to be paid on Conviction by the above-named Mr. COCKER.

MR. SURFACE.

SIR,

By G—d, if you don't pay me my just Debts, to enable me to support my Wife and Family, and keep myself from Prifon, I will emblazon your House in Drury Lane, with your own Puffs, Pamphlets, and Paragraphs, and lend your Character to Dangerning.

SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY BILL.

THE following Statement is circulated to shew the Ineligibilities in point of Levels, Speed, and Expense, of the Line proposed by the Projectors of this Bill, as compared with a different Line, passing through Arundel, and a much more populous Country than that by Basingstoke; a Question perfectly distinct from that of the Practicability or Usefulness of such a mode of Conveyance; but which alone should occasion the Legislature to pause from hastily passing this Bill during the present Session of Parliament; in order that *TIME*, for greater and more mature Consideration may be allowed for the Selection of the most preferable Line of Road for the Benefit of Individuals and the Public.

In putting forth this Statement, it has been thought useful, also, to shew the facilities which the Arundel Line affords, of continuing the Railway by Branch Lines to Portsmouth and Brighton, so as to connect them with the Town and Port of Southampton; and the opening of commercial Communications between those three Places, free from the Delays and Dangers of the Sea coastwise, must undoubtedly, in the end, prove a national Advantage; and it would be the legitimate Object of so expensive a Scheme; the Population of Portsmouth, as well as of Brighton, being more dense than that of Southampton; the present Trade of Portsmouth being certainly greater than that of the other Places; and the Interchange of Traffic between the three Places and London, affording, in all probability, that prime Desideratum in all Railroads, of good mercantile Emporiums, Towns, and Storehouses, at every Extremity of the Line.

Different Opinions may be entertained, and modes of Calculation adopted by different Engineers as to the Power of Propulsion, and the Rates of Speed and Expense; but the Estimates in this Statement are believed to be sufficiently accurate to avoid any serious Objection on either of those Heads.

Statement of Principles respecting Inland Transit by Railways,

AND

Comparative Estimate of Distance, Power, Time, and Expense of this Line,

and that by Cosham: (with Continuations of the latter Line to Portsmouth,

and to Brighton.)

*Estimate of the Resistance that a Ton of Goods will meet with on a well-constructed Railroad upon the following inclined Planes; viz.—*

THE power requisite to propel a ton on a level Railroad is the 240th part of the load.

The smallness of this resistance gives rise to the great practical importance of a Railroad where inclined planes occur, which must always be the case at points where the level of the country changes in a greater or less degree throughout the whole line of Railroad.

The power of traction (or drawing power) in ascending must overcome the tendency of the load to descend by its gravity. This tendency bears a proportion to the load equivalent to the elevation of the inclined plane, viz.

1st. ..Upon a level Railroad the power of 9lbs. will propel a ton 30 miles an hour at the expense of ¼d. per mile.

2nd. ..If the inclined plane rises 2 feet per mile, the power to propel is 10lbs. per ton; speed 25 miles per hour, at a farthing and a half per mile.

3rd. ..If the inclined plane rises 4 feet per mile, the power required to propel will be 12lbs. per ton; speed 16 miles per hour, at the expense of ¼d. per mile.

4th. ..If the inclined plane rises 8 feet per mile, the power required will be 14lbs. per ton; speed 12 miles per hour; expense 1d. per mile.

5th. ..If the inclined plane rises 12 feet per mile, the power to propel will be 18lbs. per ton; speed 9 miles per hour; expense 1½d. per mile.

6th. ..If the inclined plane rises 16 feet per mile, the power to propel is 22lbs. per ton; speed 7½ miles per hour; expense 2d. per mile.

7th. ..If the inclined plane rises 20 feet per mile, the power of traction is 26lbs. per ton; speed 6½ miles per hour; expense 3d. per mile.

8th. ..If the inclined plane rises 24 feet per mile, the power to propel is 30lbs. per ton; speed 5½ miles per hour; expense 4½d. per mile.

N.B. The above power to propel may be taken two ways, viz.

1st. ..By attaching a line to the carriage with the weight over a fly wheel; or

2nd. ..By the pressure of the steam on the piston of the steam engine.

It is obvious, from the above estimate, how enormously the drawing power must be increased, and the speed be retarded, by the slightest incursion.

It is therefore apparent that a well-constructed Railroad for speed and transit of goods, should not incline in any case more than from 14 to 16 feet per mile.

In constructing a Railroad, the inclined ascents and descents should be divided on the whole line as equally as possible.

The inclined plane at Rainhill, on the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad, is so steep, that it requires a stationed engine always to be ready there, to help up the travelling engines, which impedes their speed, and adds a great expense: and the same thing occurs on the Darlington Railroad: which should be avoided in all future Railroads, if possible.

The elevation of the Summit of this Railroad is 382 feet above high water mark at Southampton, and the inclined planes rise on the line 20 feet in a mile, being one foot in 264; 22 feet, being one in 240; and 24 feet, being one in 220, returning from Southampton; and the difficulty of ascending thence to Popham Summit will be much greater than it will be from London to Popham Summit.

In going to Southampton the inclined Planes rise 12½ feet per mile, 18 feet, and 22 feet, as above stated.

* Note, in this average of 19 feet per mile, for the long distance of 22 miles, the descent for 5 miles is 22 feet per mile; for the next 5 miles, 24 feet; and for the next 7 miles, about 20 feet.

While you life's num'rous bleffings fhare,
Wealth, houfes, large domains,
Few comforts, in this vale of care,
Our narrow lot obtains.

Pale penury, and ruthlefs debt,
Forbid the heart to reft,
Defencelefs we, when griefs befet,
And friendlefs, when oppreft.

When nat'ral ills, each hour, affail,
And fcornful foes annoy,
Thofe o'er our weaken'd frame prevail,
And theſe our peace deſtroy.

What then inſtructs our humble lot,
In all our griefs and pains,
To taſte content, and envy not
Your wealth, and wide domains?

*One little ſpot, where softly laid*
*In death's benignant reft,*
*No fell diſeaſe ſhall haunt the ſhade,*
*No pow'rful foes moleſt :*

One little ſpot of ſacred ground,
One calm, unenvied ſpan;
Where nature ſleeps her deſtin'd round,
Nør waits the voice of man.

That little ſpot of ſacred earth,
In ſpite of earthly pow'rs,
Tho' not the portion of our birth,
Shall, after death, be ours.

How oft, when o'er the church-yard way
My babes at eve I led,
I've taught their childish lips to say
What thus in tears I faid;

" Here shall my bones for ever lie,
" Beneath the grafs-clad mound;
" The lordly chariot, rolling by,
" Dares not o'erstep this bound;

" Nor bulwarks tow'ring high in air,
" With dreadful cannon ftor'd,
" Nor armed bands, with wakeful care,
" More fure defence afford.

" Than yon flight pales, whose guardian band
" Are CHARITY and LOVE;
" And ill befal the daring hand
" That fhall fuch guard remove!

" Heav'n's awful word Religion keeps,
" Nor vain diffintion knows;
" Here fafe alike the Peafant fleeps,
" And titled Great repofe.

" This board, which marks the humbleft duft,
" As proudly claims refpect,
" As yonder marble's noble duft,
" With ftately trophies deck'd.

" Here, Children, oft repeat, (and keep
" Remembrance long of me;)
" Here lies our mother! Sweet her fleep!
" Her love ftill with us be!"

[ 4 ]

Oh! Minifter of Chrift, attend,
And liften, while I plead!
Let thine own heart its counsel lend,
And ponder on thy deed!

The murm'ring wretch, who God defies,
And cafts his gift away,
Stain'd with self-murder, scorned lies
Beneath the public way;

But me, whom, long by sorrow worn,
Meek patience taught to bend;
Oh, let not me be caft to scorn,
Like those who Heav'n offend!

By friends belov'd, by parents dear,
If parents yet remain:
Or, Oh! by memory's gracious tear,
That never falls in vain,

Collect again my sad remains!
Close o'er my scatter'd dust!
'Tis NATURE'S voice in me complains,
And HEAV'N bids thee be just.

Oh, hear me,—hear me, flumb'ring Prieſt!
Behold I quit thy bed;
While thus my hand diſpels thy reſt,
Wake, mindful of the Dead!
