THURSDAY's POST. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Sept. 27.
WHITEHALL, Sept. 27.

THE King has been pleased to grant to the Rev. and Hon. Edward Venables Vernon, Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, the place and dignity of a Canon of the Cathedral Church of Christ in the University of Oxford, void by the death of the Rev. and Hon. Edward Seymour Conway.
The King has been pleased to present the Rev. George Pretyman, D.D. to the Rectory of Sudburn, cum Capella de Orford, in the county of Suffolk and diocese or Norwich, also void by the death of the said Edward Seymour Conway.


BANKRUPTS. James Chadwick, of Heckmondwicke, Birstall, Yorkshire, tanner.- Richard Brown, of Flushings-alley, Middlesex, carpenter.- James Brand, of Lincoln, innkeeper.- Moses Birch, of Stepney Causeway, Middlesex, mariner.- Rich. Goodman, of Willscot, Oxfordshire, dealer.



Arrived a Mail from FRANCE.

VIENNA, Sept. 3, We have accounts from Pettau in Syria, that the wife of a labourer there was on the 29th of July safely delivered of five boys, all of whom are alive and likely to do well; some charitable people have undertaken to maintain four, and the fifth the mother suckles.
VENICE, Aug. 25, We have received advice from the Chevalier Emo, that his fleet had again bombarded Susa; the attack lasted three nights, during which 400 shells were thrown, of which 58 burst in the air, and 258 fell in the town, and did much damage by destroying 150 houses. The enemy fired 600 cannon balls, which did no further damage than wounding two soldiers. The same advices add, that the fleet after this left the coast on the 6th of this month.
ALGIERS, August 15. Mr. Logie, the English Consul, is arrived here safe from Gibraltar; the Dey, to whom he was presented, received him in the most amicable manner. Twelve corsairs having sailed from this port on the 5th of last month, have made several considerable captures, and brought them in hither, but they have not been all judged good prizes by the Dey. The Spanish squadron which quitted this port some time ago is returned again, and as the Commander is detained on board by illness, the Comte d'Espilly has been appointed to go on board to take his commission and discharge it with the Dey; this negociator, on being landed, returned to the Dey, and informed him, "That the Catholic King would not furnish him with cannon, muskets, nor warlike ammunition; but that his Majesty would pay the value of them in ready money." The Dey not satisfied with this offer, considered it as an infraction of the conditions of the peace on the point of being concluded with Spain; and he declared, "That if the ammunitions of war were not furnished in kind, hostilities should recommence."



AMERICA.

ALEXANDRIA, July 28. Joseph Mayo, jun. Esq. of Powhatan, in the county of Henrico, died the 24th of May, on his passage from Lisbon to Boston. By his will he has emancipated his slaves, to the number of 150.



IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Sept. 16. Mr. Mathews, an eminent farmer, in the county of Kildare, has discovered a compost of prepared liquor, which has the property of not only increasing the produce, but of securing all sorts of grain, potatoes, or garden seeds, steeped in it previous to being planted or sown, from blight, smut, vermin, or other diseases, to which the finest crops are liable.



COUNTY NEWS.

BEWDLEY, Sept. 24. The hop gatherers in this quarter have nearly finished their gathering, and the amount is rather larger than expected; as the storm mentioned to have done so much damage in Kent, was but little felt in this quarter.



LONDON, TUESDAY, Sept. 27.

A double marriage is certainly in contemplation between our Court and that of Berlin, viz. one between the Bishop of Osnabruck and the Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Christiana; the other between the eldest son of the heir to the Prussian Crown, and one of our Princesses.
Reports talk loudly again of peace, which the Dutch are said to have purchased at the expence of 50,000,000 guilders; but the actions of the contending powers carry all the appearance of war; for the Dutch have opened their sluices about Lillo, and laid all that part of the country under water; while the Emperor is marching a numerous army towards the Dutch territories, with orders to commence hostilities immediately: a few days, it is probable, will remove the present mist of uncertainty.
Letters received yesterday from Paris, confidently affirm, that the French Government had unequivocally declared that the conduct of the Governor of Goree, in Africa, was without their knowledge; and as a proof of their good intention to stop all future inconveniencies, a sloop of war has been dispatched from Brest for Africa, with a proper person on board, to make a regular enquiry into the matters complained of, and to procure an immediate redress.
It is said, that a bill is prepared by a very respectable Member of the Lower House, and will be moved for early in the next session, to limit all new buildings within a certain distance of the metropolis on new ground, but not to interdict rebuilding. It is computed that the rage for running London into the country makes above an hundred bankrupts every year, throws money out of commerce into the channel from which little profit can arise to the nation, and makes beggars of a considerable number of people.-- Mr. Pitt had an idea of laying five shillings tax in the pound upon all new buildings, to operate as a perpetual house tax: and as this would only fall on men who generally throw their money away, it was deemed to be a just one; but the shop-tax offering at the same time, this was dropped. The shop-tax however must be repealed, and probably the new house-tax will be one of its substitutes.
Informations are lodged against some principal dealers in Norfolk, for being concerned in the sending of live cattle to the Continent: they are to be prosecuted in the Exchequer at the suit of the Crown.
The late Lord Lyttleton, in a letter written from Festiniog, in Wales, to his friend Mr. Bower, gives the following very singular relation; not long ago, there died in the neighbourhood an honest farmer who was one hundred and five years of age; by his first wife he had thirty children, ten by his second, four by his third, and seven by two concubines; his youngest son was eighty-one years younger than his eldest, and eight hundred persons descended from his body attended his funeral.
The Dart, of Liverpoole, from Africa, to the West -Indies, with 140 slaves, was lost to the Southward of Cayenne; the Captain and four men took to the boat, and were 18 days before they landed at Cayenne, and had nothing to eat but three drowned monkies.
On Saturday last a horse belonging to Henry Lamb, Esq. walked three miles, trotted three, and galloped three, upon Wimbledon Common, for a considerable bett, in the space of 51 minutes. He was allowed by the agreement 57 minutes to perform it in.
The question lately agitated in the H--se of Commons on a noble Lord's affair, relative to the effects of Patents, for securing to the ingenious, the sole, right of prosecuting their respective inventions or discoveries, is certainly highly interesting to the community, and involves a quaery; whether it were not better that Parliament should liberally purchase such right, for the purpose of universal extension? The late extraordinary recovery of the lady of H.B. Esq. of Grosvenor-square, and her sister, from obstinate pains in their bowels, by the use of the Oriental Vegetable Cordial, prescribed them by their Physician of George-street, having excited much conversation in the medical line, and enquiry respecting the former character of that medicine; the result of which was, as we are credibly informed, that a subscription was proposed to purchase the Patent from the present proprietor, in order to render cheaper, as well as more general, a compound of incontestible efficacy.-He was waited on for the purpose, and refused to considerable a sum as �5000.!!! This may serve to give some idea of the value of many advertised medicines to their proprietors; but one would be led to imagine the present, an instance of obstinacy and unreasonableness.



SATURDAY's POST.
COUNTRY NEWS.
CANTERBURY, Sept. 23.

ON Friday Iast a woman servant in the parish of Brookland, who for some time past was suspected of being with child, took the fatal resolution of delivering herself privately in a room, in which she had locked herself, and murdered the child. Being called for by her mistress, she answered she would come presently, but some suspicion arising, the door was broken open, and the child was discovered with its throat cut with a pair of scissars, and other marks of violence. The jury sat on the body, and brought in their verdict wilful murder against the mother. She is to be removed to Maidstone to take her trial at the next assize.
BRIGHTHELMSTONE, Sept. 26. As a gentleman; a few days ago, was bathing a little below the machines, it being very calm, he imprudently ventured further into the sea than what is customary; he had not been long diverting himself in the water, before he heard a noise, and discovered the fins of a fish above the surface of the water, which he soon perceived approach him very fast: alarmed at this, he hastened out of the water, and had scarcely reached the shore, when a large tyger shark plunged after him, with that violence, that it forced itself entirely out of the water on dry land. The shark thus out of its element, had no power of retreating; and the gentleman, who providentially escaped, recovering from his fright, collected a number of people, who, with hatchets attacked this ferocious creature and killed it. On opening its stomach, the intire head of a man was found in it; no otherwise altered, than being very soft and pappy, and the flesh and scalp entirely separating from the bone on touching it. The stomach was half an inch thick, and the shark was twelve feet in length, from its head to its tail.



LONDON, THURSDAY, Sept. 29.

Tuesday an express arrived at St. James's from Holland. The messenger, who came over in the packet, reports, that he sailed on Friday noon, at which time it was circulated that news of hostilities between the Imperial forces and the Dutch were hourly expected, as they had received intelligence of 20,000 troops having arrived at Brussels, Antwerp, and Bruges, in addition to the forces which the Emperor had before in Flanders. The news was so certain, and had occasioned such consternation, that the commander at Bewerwyck, Lillo, and Constracht, had drawn up the sluices, and inundated the country for near 30 miles in length. As in this part of the Continent, Austrian Flanders lies somewhat lower than its adjoining neighbour in Dutch Brabant, the Imperial territories experience more of the ill effects: but what added to the fears of the common people was an account that the Emperor had several vessels of force on the upper branch of the Scheldt which had come to Antwerp from Ostend by way of the canals; and that there are a number of flat-bottomed boats calculated for the sole purpose of transporting soldiers in the port of Anvers. It was further said, that the Emperor had purchased the flat boars in France from the merchants, to whom it is usual after a peace for the French government to dispose of them, building. new ones in cases of emergency. Something may certainly be now expected on the Continent.
The King has given the vacant red ribband to Gen. Campbell. He was offered a Baronetage, but declined accepting it.
Tuesday General Campbell, the new Governor of Madras, set off for Portsmouth to embark there for the East-Indies.
The Lords of the Treasury have appointed Thomas Barker, Esq. one of the Surveyors General of the Customs in the port of London; and John Whiteway, of the Custom-House at Lymington, Collector of the Customs at Portsmouth, in the room of Mr. Barker.
The Duke of Dorset sets off for Paris on Monday next to assist at the revival of the negociations for settling the differences between Holland and the Emperor.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. met at Guildhall, when Aldermen Saunderson and Watson were sworn into their office as sheriffs of this city and county for the year ensuing.
This day at noon a Common Hall was held at Guildhall, for the election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. Thomas Wright, Esq. Citizen and Stationer, and Thomas Sainsbury, Esq. Citizen and Bowyer, were returned to the Court of Aldermen, who made choice of the former-gentleman. Mr. Wright being invested with the gold chain, came forward and addressed the Livery in a genteel, pertinent speech.
Yesterday about twelve o'clock Mr. Everett, Mr. Withers, Mr. John Rivington, Mr. Thomas Isherwood, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Chapman, and six or seven other Commissioners of the land-tax, met at Guildhall, to put the shop-tax in execution, and on application to the hall-keeper for a room to meet in, he informed them, that in pursuance of the resolutions of the late Court of Common Council, all the rooms were locked against them; upon which they adjourned to the hustings in the Great Hall. Mr. Everett was called to the chair, and the Clerk attended with the minutes, &c. of their last meeting. Mr. Merry having some business at another Committee, on entering the hall, and observing them, went immediately to the deputy hall-keeper, and desired him to give his assistance; but not waiting for the coming up of the keeper, being lame with the gout, Mr. M. mounted the hustings; on which Mr. Andrews called out, Sir, we are executing the King's commission. Mr. M. replied, you have no business here, seized the book which they called the minute-book; attempted to tear it, but being bound with parchment, he threw it into the hall from the hustings; on which the Commissioners seized him, and violently forced. him from the hustings; but he laying hold of the door, received no great damage. He then ascended the hustings again, seized the ink-stand, and let fly its contents among the Commissioners; and a drop of ink fell on the sleeve of Mr. Chapman's coat, and Mr. Read received a small share of it. Enraged at this, they gave charge of Mr. M. to the City Marshall, Miller, and he in return charged three of them to the care of Mr. Gates, one of the Marshalmen. This caused a great disturbance in the hall, and the adjournment of the Quarter Sessions being then sitting, the Lord Mayor, with the Recorder, adjourned to the Justice Room to hear the matter, and were attended by the two Sheriffs, and nine or ten Aldermen.
After a hearing of near three hours, and both parties having made their charge, the Lord Mayor dismissed the matter, as no person individually would charge Mr.M. with an assault, and having declared his intention of proceeding against them at the sessions.

Yesterday some dispatches were received from Admiral Campbell at Newfoundland, which mention that most of the ships had sailed from that station ; and that the Admiral would leave at the beginning of October, for England.
Letters from Seville, dated the 4th of this month, mention the arrival there of several ships from Newfoundland, and that the fruit this year would turn out tolerably plenty, but not quite so good as last year.
A negociation is on foot between the Dutch and our East-India Company, under the direction of their respective Governments, for regulating some particular branches of Oriental commerce peculiar to themselves.

We hear that Government are determined to hear no more petitions from prisoners under sentence of death. They think it will have a very good effect in punishing all those who have been legally convicted as the law directs. Many circumstances have arisen, which is much in favour of their determination. As the juries are on all occasions so very merciful, and if there appears the least thing in favour of the prisoner's innocence, he is always acquitted; of course it follows none are found guilty but of the most atrocious crimes, and such as ought to be made a public example of.

BIRTH.] On Sunday last her Grace the Duchess of Grafton was safely delivered of a son, at the family house in Piccadilly.

MONDAY's POST.
(By Express from London.)
From the LONDON GAZETTE, Oct. 1.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 25.
THE plague still continues to manifest itself daily in this capital; but the letters from Smyrna of the 18th inst. advise, that the contagion had entirely ceased there, and was considerably diminished on the coast of Syria; and that the 23d of this month was fixed for granting clean bills of health at Smyrna, in case no new instance of the infection should appear in the interval.
WHITEHALL, Oct 1.The King has been pleased to constitute and appoint George Cherry, Esq. to be one of the Commissioners for victualling his Majesty's Navy, in the room of Joah Bates, Esq. now a Commissioner of his Majesty's Customs.


BANKRUPTS. James Jubber, of Portsmouth Common, brewer.- John Watkins, of Tidnor Forge, Lugwardine, Herefordshire, iron-master.



Arrived the Mail from FRANCE.

PETERSBURGH, Aug. 9. The rumour circulated here some days since of an action having happened between the Cuban Tartars and our troops, is confirmed. The principal shock in the engagement fell upon the regiment of Astracan, which was entirely defeated, and the Colonel was killed; but victory notwithstanding was on our side. The Khan, his sons, and his nephew, were made prisoners. This news, of which the Empress was apprised during her residence at Moscow, was not publicly announced till the approach of the prisoners to this capital, whither they were escorted by command of the Empress.
VIENNA, Sept 7. By an ordinance of the 22d of last month the Emperor has abolished the right heretofore claimed by the Lords, of compelling their vassals to maintain their dogs.
BERLIN, Sept. 3. Letters from Upper Silesia advise, that in the night of the 22d of August, there was so violent a shock of an earthquake at Ratisbon and Pless, that several people were thrown out of their beds by it, and some houses inhabited by country people thrown down.



LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, Oct 1.

Yesterday his Majesty in Council issued a Proclamation by which the Parliament is prorogued to the first of December next.- Before that time another Proclamation will be issued, to say on what day they shall met for the discharge of public business. This is the second instance since the revolution of a prorogation during an adjournment.
Yesterday a Chapter was held of the most Hon. Order of the Bath, at which the Sovereign, Lord Amherst, Sir William Draper, Sir George Howard, Sir Guy Carleton, Sir Ralph Payne, and Sir Edward Hughes assisted; when, with the customary ceremonies, Lieut. Gen. Frederick Haldimand, and Major General John Campbell, were invested with the Order.
Yesterday morning an express arrived at his Excellency's Count Polan's, the Sardinian Envoy at our Court, from Turin, with an account of the death of the Queen of Sardinia, after a long and lingering illness from a consumption.
By yesterday's French mail we are informed that his eminence the Cardinal de Rohan gives himself up to despair: The few friends who were permitted to see him cannot keep up his spirits.
Yesterday the Marquis of Carmarthen, and several other of the ministerial Nobility, dined with Mr. Adams, the American Plenipotentiary, at his house in Grosvenor-square.
On Thursday afternoon a messenger arrived at St. James's from Holland, which occasioned an immediate meeting of such of the Cabinet Ministers as were in town at the Secretary of State's office, where they sat near three hours. Baron Lynden, the Dutch Ambassador was present the greater part of the time.
We have the pleasure to inform the public, that Lord Sydney, who has been very much indisposed for some days, was yesterday very much recovered, though he is not yet able to attend to business, and consequently the labour of both offices rests on the Marquis of Carmarthen.
Mr. Burke lies dangerously ill. The news of his son's being lost in his passage from Harwich to Holland a few days since had such an effect on his health, that his recovery is doubtful.
The dispatches for India are detained on account of the daily expected arrival of an over-land packet; but if the same should not arrive in the course of next week, the packet will be dispatched without further delay.
The Subahs, Nabobs, Kings, Rajahs, and Polygars of the Eastern world, present their respectful compliments to Mr. Dundas, and request, as he is to be the Inquisitor-General of Mr. Hastings's conduct, that he will put one plain question to him, viz. "Pray, Sir, how many presents did you extort during your reign from the subordinate tributaries in the five Circars, and the Carnatic, exclusive of those bestowed, or rather forced from the people within the provinces of Bengal and Bahaar?" This question it is requisite to put, as public report makes the presents amount to above four millions of sterling pounds, besides some diamonds from Golconda of immense value given to Mrs. Hastings, and sent by her own trusty servants to ----
Yesterday morning a meeting of the Commissioners of the several duties on houses, windows, or lights, for the city of London, and to consider the act for granting to his Majesty certain duties on shops, was held at Guildhall; when the opinion of the Recorder was read, which confirmed the legality of the proceedings of the Commissioners who have qualified and acted, and after some debate, they adjourned sine die.
The sharks which have lately appeared on the Brighthelmstone shore, have alarmed the bathing females in a greater degree than the tragical story of the taylor. They agree that a taylor is a terrible fellow, but the idea of a shark is not to be endured, and not a bathing machine now ventures to sea.
The transports sent on board on Tuesday last are bound, as it is now said, for Nova-Scotia, and amounted, of both sexes, to upwards of 160. Considerable tracts of land in this Northern part of America were granted at the conclusion of the former war, to several officers and privates in the British service, but were shortly after deserted by them. At the last peace numbers of refugees from the Southern Colonies settled there, under the immediate protection and patronage of the British Government. The climate is cold and inhospitable, and the lands, except in the neighbourhood of Halifax, uncultivated; the labour, therefore, of the transports, may turn out of considerable service to the new settlers, if the convicts can be brought to reform their lives, and acquire habits of industry, honesty, and sobriety.
A Caution.- There are lately come into circulation a new counterfeit coinage of shillings: They are of copper thinly covered with silver, of the late reign, and date of the year 1758. They appear like hoarded money; but further to disguise them, many are bent up at one side. In weight they are in proportion of seven to ten of a good shilling.
Yesterday was married by a special licence, at Lord Guildford's house, the Hon. George Augustus North, to Miss Hobart, of St. James's-square.



HOME NEWS.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept 30. Arrived the Bachelor, Capt. Dunlar, from Glasgow,. with the crew of the Amelia, a large ship belonging to Lubeck, which foundered the 22d inst. about 70 leagues to the westward of the Lizard.
Sailed the Trusty, of 50 guns, Commodore Crosby, and the Phaeton frigate, Capt. Dawson, for the Mediterranean. Lord Keppel is gone passenger on board the Phaeton.
Also sailed the Grampus. of 50 guns, Capt. Thompson, and the Nautilus sloop of war, Capt. Tripp, for the Coast of Guinea; the Jackall brig, Capt. Akin, for South America; the Barracoute cutter, on a cruize; and the Earl of Cornwallis East-Indiaman, for the River.
Sunday the 25th inst. his Majesty's ships the Ganges and Goliah, of 74 guns each, came into harbour. The Pegase, of 74 guns was to come in the same day. but the wind chopp'd and drove her on shore near Blockhouse Point, where she remained till Wednesday, when she was got off without receiving any material damage. The Elizabeth and Hector, o{ 74 guns each, are also come into harbour.



WINCHESTER, OCT. 1.
Monday last was married here, Mr. George Alexander, of Up-Hursbourn. to Miss Beaver, of Nernham.
We are informed that the hops picked at Farnham since the late storm, will not fetch so much per hundred by 40s. or two guineas, as those picked before.



SALISBURY, OCTOBER 3.

On Tuesday last, at a Common Council, Mr. James Easton was elected Mayor of this city, in the place of W. Moody, Esq. who had paid the fine of �100. to be excused serving the office.
On Wednesday was the anniversary meeting of that truly charitable and laudable institution the Salisbury Infirmary, when the Governors and Subscribers assembled in the Council-Chamber, at ten in the morning. and with the Mayor and Corporation in their formalities, the Earl of Radnor, our Recorder, and President of the Infirmary, and the Deputy Recorder, walked in procession to the Cathedral Church, at the great door of which, being joined by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop, the Rev. the Dean, and the Residentiary Canon, preceded by the Singing Men and Choristers, they went up to their seats, and heard a most excellent sermon, preached by the Rev. Dr. Glasse, on the following text, The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me. Job, Chap. 19, and part of the 13th verse. After the sermon, an Anthem, composed on the occasion by Mr. Parry, was sung, in which he bore the principal part, in his usual stile of excellence and taste. The service being ended, and a collection made at the Church door for the benefit of the Charity, amounting to �66. 14s. 3d. the Governors, Subscribers, &c. returned in the same order to the Council Chamber, where, after having heard the Auditors report read of the last year's proceedings, and the state of the account of the Infirmary, they dined together on an elegant entertainment provided for them by Mr. Woodham, at the three Swans, to which the Earl of Radnor presented a fat buck.
The very numerous and respectable company (amounting to about sixteen hundred) that honoured our Musical Festival last week, bestowed the greatest applause on every part of the five usual performances, which consisted of a most select and elegant variety. The church music, in particular, was very much admired; amongst which, the expressive and sublime composition of Jomelli, that does the highest credit to the memory of that eminent author, was singularly striking and affecting. Too much cannot well be said in praise of the vocal excellence of Madame MARA, who, in the most obliging manner, exerted her utmost to entertain the audience with such a choice of songs, as at once displayed the finest taste and feelings, as well as the most astonishing execution, far surpassing even the warmest expectations of those who had never before heard this celebrated singer. No small encomium too is due to Miss Mahon, and the other principal soprano voices, who supported their parts in a manner, that met with great and very deserved approbation. We need not, however, recapitulate particulars, where the whole orchestra, with all its respective members, under the experienced abilities of its leader Mr. Cramer, and its director Mr. Corfe, produced a musical effect so completely pleasing. In fact, there are few meetings of this kind in the kingdom, we flatter ourselves, that seem to afford more general satisfaction to, and receive more encouragement from the public, than ours; which being under the immediate auspices of the SALISBURY CONCERT, there is little doubt, that as long as the reputation of the latter is so liberally supported as it is, in its present flourishing state, by so large a list of subscribers, and by all the first families in this city and neighbourhood, the annual Festival must likewise continue to partake of its full share of success. The first Subscription Assembly will be held on Thursday next, the sixth of October instant.
We are happy to contradict a report that has been circulated in all the public prints of the death of Lord Francis Seymour, his Lordship having arrived in perfect health on Tuesday last, at his Deanry at Wells, from a visit in the West. The report is supposed to have taken its rise from the death of the Rev. and Hon. Edward Seymour Conway, a few days since, at Lyons in France.
On Thursday last was dressed at the Red Lion, Shaftesbury, a turtle, fat buck, and various sorts of game. A numerous company attended, where mirth and conviviality universally reigned.- We hear the Corporation are to have no dinner this year.- Alas! how are the mighty fallen.

On Tuesday last died, James Brooke, Esq. at Fordington, near Dorchester; a gentleman universally beloved and esteemed through life.
Friday night the servant of a gentleman who was upon a visit at Lord Palmerston's, at Broadlands, near Romsey, unfortunately fell into the river in his Lordship's park, and was drowned.

Cure for the sting of Wasps .- Oil of Tartar is not only an effectual, but almost instantaneous cure for the sting of these insects.- At this season of the year no family should be without a small quantity of it, as its effects are really astonishing.
The Magistrates of the Sarum Division are earnestly requested to attend Marlborough Sessions next Wednesday, in order to prevent the Winter Sessions being removed from Salisbury.

The letter signed A Somersetshire Freeholder was received too late for this Paper; if possible, it shall appear in our next.



To the Memory of the Right Hon. LORD VISCOUNT
SACKVILLE.
TATE gave the deadly pass-word ! Sackville's gone,
Where Kings must follow, at a time unknown.
Dabblers in faction, let me, without blame,
Pay my small tribute to this great man's name.
Fortune's prime favourite, till she, as such,
Was led to think she favour'd him too much;
Still, he was Britain's boast - by fortune croft
But in the storm of times was almost lost.
Untaught to stoop, unbias'd by no spite,
His fortitude of mind declar'd him right.
His genius fir'd by truth's enlivening ray,
With just contempt, he spurn'd the venal sway.
He stood unmov'd, sure in a noble end,
And shew'd, that virtue always had a friend.
In judgment clear, and in counsel great,
Again was courted to the helm of state.
Was honour'd with a Peerage, and subdu'd
At once th' ungenerous, envious, and rude.
Statesman unblemish'd ! in his deathless line
We'll see found sense and dignity e'er shine.
Vicissitudes in life he underwent,
But his Iast days in calm retreat were spent.
Each mortal has some fault; let his subside,
As friends allow, his was forgetful pride.
Yet this might be thought faultless to a mind
So much engag'd with turns of various kind.
No snake-tongu'd envy now can vent its foam
On the embellish'd honours of his tomb.

* Lord Sackville (then Lord George) wrote to P-e Ferdinand, before his trial, to know what charge he had to make against him on the Minden affair, thinking to have some grounds to call him to account. The Prince wrote him a polite answer, (which Lord George shewed me) that he had made no charge at all against him. Upon this Lord George could not call him out. The public wondered he did not, as not knowing this; but it was at last truly and generally allowed that Lord George, by prevailing in his opinion against the Prince in several councils of war, the Prince grew invidious of his abilities, and was glad of his return from the command of the British army, which was the cause of false reflections and abuse against him, with a run of cruel party evils.
N.B. Lord George would never pass commissary bills and army expences unexamined, which gave umbrage to the Commander in Chief - but saved thousands to this nation.
THO. EDMONDES.

OAKHILL BREWERY.
SEPTEMBER 12, 1785.

WHEREAS it is a daily complaint of the public, that the GENUINE MEDICINE called DOCTOR ANDERSON's SCOTS PILLS, is difficult to be procured, owing to the great number of impositions constantly practised by many persons, who, in defiance of every endeavour to prevent them, not only continue to vend a spurious sort under the same title, but some have had the audacity even to counterfeit to the bills, enclosing the same, the name of Mr. James Inglish, the indisputable sole Proprietor of the genuine article, the original Recipe for which has been in the possession of his family upwards of 50 years, as he has repeatedly offered the world demonstration of.
The Public are now respectfully informed, that the Commissioners of the Stamp Duties, in pursuance of AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT, have compelled the Proprietor to take out a licence for vending and stamping the above Medicine; and that therefore no box or quantity thereof can in future be sold in GREAT BRITAIN, WITHOUT A STAMP, affixed to the outside cover wrapped round the box, with the following words "J. INGLISH, No. 165, Strand, opposite the NEW CHURCH," and printed upon all the STAMPS at the STAMP OFFICE. by consent of the Commissioners, the imitation of which will be a capital offence. All others are COUNTERFEITS.
It is hoped therefore, the Public will attend to this precaution in purchasing none but the genuine Medicine, stamped as above, if they would avoid the ill effects continually complained of by the use of a spurious sort.

The prices of this Medicine in future will be 5s. 2s. 3d. and 1s each Box, duty included.

Two extraordinary CURES performed by Mr. SPILSBURY's celebrated Medicine, now so universally resorted to in Complaints of the Scurvy, Gout, Rheumatism, Children's Eruptions, Humours after the Small-pox, &c. &c.
A RHEUMATIC CASE.
MR. STEPHEN CHASEY, of East-Pennard, near Shepton-Mallet, was afflicted twenty years, with a Rheumatism, attended with a strong scorbutic humour which at intervals broke out in different parts of his body, which caused great pain and irritation, so that he could not stoop to exercise his ordinary business, and was obliged to walk with a stick, neither could he take his natural rest. He was recommended to try Mr. Spilsbury's Drops by Mr. Cary, bookseller, in Shepton-Mallet, and by taking a few bottles was perfectly cured, and has felt no return of his complaint these six years.---Witness my hand,
STEPHEN CHASBY.
September 3, 1784.

Mr. PARKHOUSE, bookseller, of Tiverton, has also transmitted to Mr. Spilsbury the case of a Lady in that neighbourhood, who was afflicted with such a virulent Scorbutic humour that her life was really a burthen to herself, and her appearance piteous to the beholder; the faculty had given her over, and as the last resource she was ordered to Bath. At the earnest solicitation of a friend she was prevailed on to try Mr. Spilsbury's Drops, a favourable alteration took place within a month, and a short continuance of the Medicine perfectly restored her to good health, in which she has continued these three years. Motives of delicacy prevent the publication of the Lady's name, but Mr. Parkhouse will inform any person of the Lady's address.
These Drops not coming under the Medicine Act, are sold free of duty, in the new moulded bottles of 4s. 6d, each. by B.C. Collins, in Salisbury; by the persons mentioned at the bottom of this page; and by the newsmen.

Mr. Spilsbury's Treatise on the Scurvy, Gout, Diet, &c. with the particulars of 80 cures, is sold, or lent to read gratis.
