will wash it down, first taking a large quantity of blood from your cattle.-Madder root is highly recommended for this diftemper. As loon as you find any of the cattle infected, examine the congue, Icrape off the blifters with a fiver intrument made with sharp teeth, until it bleeds plentifully in all parts, wipe away the blood with a cloth, and wath the tongue feveral times with vinegar and falt; after this give the above drench three or four times a day..

Sept. 22. As fome boys were playing on board the gabbards at the custom-boufe quay, a boy about twelve years of age unfortunately fell overboard and was drowned.

On the 18th inft. Sept. the loop Catherine, of Wexford, laden with butter, cheele, bacon, &c. bound from that port to Dublin, was in a hard gale of wind, wrecked on the dogger bank, one league from hore and about nine miles from Wexford. Mr. Morwood, turveyor of Rosslare, obferving the misfortune, humanely fent out his barge, and providentially by fuch immediate affittance, the whole crew and passengers were faved except a child, which was wathed out of the mother's arms. Upon the intelligence reaching Wexford, the volunteer corps of that town, cemmanded by colonels Hatton and Jacob, with all expedition repaired to the thore, by whole timely and ipirited exertions, by plunging themselves in to the water, recovered the whole cargo, and after an immenle toil and fatigue, continued under arms the whole night to protect the lame. Too much praite cannot be given to the volunteers of Wexford, for diftinguishing themlelves on this as well as every other occafion, where either humanity or the intereft of their country called for their affittance.

On Saturday laft a poor unfortunate wretch, in the 75th year of his age, was executed at Athy in the county of Kildare, pursuant to his fentence at the last allizes for that county: The crime for which he was executed was sheep-flealing. It is fomewhat remarkable, that from the time of his being led from the gaol to the moment he was launched into eternity (a space of Dear three hours) he never spoke a word; and when the hangman was fixing the rope about his neck at the gallows, through fome mismanagement he fell from the car, and was feverely bruited by the fall, yet the pain (if he had any feeling) never excited the mallett complaint, and he died as seemingly infenfible of his punishment, as if he had been totally inanimate. Notwithstanding this wretched being was laid to have been an old offender, yet his offences were confined to the ftealing of theep and corn, to which he might have been excited by want, or idle habits, which might have been corrected by timely attention; fill his punishment was as levere as if he had committed murder, or other acts of the blackelt dye: this, we prefume, (among a thousand other inftances) points out the neceffity of alpee. dy revision of our criminal laws.

We learn by the Jane, from the Streights to Cork, that in paffing the gut of Gibraltar, the captain was informed by the crew of a whale boat, that a moft vigorous and defperate fiege had commenced by the combined enemy on the 24d ult. and that the gallant general Elliot feemed to laugh at and despise their attack, the

garrifon is in high fpirits, expecting to be relieved.

A curious anecdote.- -Lord Bolingbroke said, that Lord Oxford often told him that he had feen, and had in his hands, an original letter that King Charles the first wrote to the queen, in anfwer to one of her's, which had been intercepted, and then forwarded to him, wherein the reproached him for having made those villains too great conceffions," (viz, that Cromwell should be lord lieutenant of Ireland for life without account, for that kingdom (hould be in the hands of the party, with an army kept there, which fhould know no head but the lieutenant; that Cromwell fhould have a garter, &c.) and that in this letter of the king's, it was laid, "That the should leave him to manage, who was better informed of all circumstances than he could be, but that he might be entirely easy, as to whatever conceffions he should make them, for in due time he would know how to deal with the rogues, who, instead of a filken garter, fhould be fitted with a hempen cord."-So the letter ended.-Which anfwer, as they waited for, they intercepted accordingly, and it determined his fate. This letter, Lord Oxford faid, he had offered 500l. for.

Anecdote.-- A few years ago the ifle of Sheppy was confidered but as one parish, and being but thinly inhabited, and the income not very large, their vicar came there but once a month. The parithoners being much difpleafed at this, defied their clerk, who was that year Church Warden also, to remonftrate to him for not coming oftener among them. The clerk, at last, told the vicar the fenfe of the parilhoners-Well, well, fays the vicar, Jonathan, (which was the clerk's name) I lay, tell them, Jonathan, that if they will give me ten pounds a year more, I will come to them once a fortnight; and be fure, Jonathan, to let me know their answer the next time I come. So at last the time camethe vicar asked Jonathan, if he had told the people his propofal--Yes, fir, replied the clerk

will

-Well, what do they fay ?-Say, fir! fays Jonathan, why, fir, they fay as how, if abate them ten pounds a year in your tythes, they will excufe you from coming at all.

Extract of a letter from Athy, Sept. 29.

"A few days ago arrived from England, at the noted Colliery of Doonane, the most itupendous and curious machinery for a fire engine, that was ever feen in this kingdom - There is alfo arrived with the materials, the molt ingenious gentleman, for the parpole of erecting and fetting the engine to work, who with the greatest politenels, explains the movements, with the caufes and effects, to the great fatisfaction of thofe converfant in natural philofophy, and the admiration of those who are not.

"Too much praise cannot be given to the gentlemen who are proprietors of the colliery, for their perfeverance, and the extraordinary expence they have been at, in restoring to the public the best coals in the kingdom, that have been buried under water thefe 18 months pait, to the manifeft lufs and disappointment of all ranks of people."

Many princes may have equalled the emperor in the theory of found policy: but few have had equal refolution to practise it; partial and progreffive refources have taken place occafionally in most countries; but there is no inftance in history of fuch a general and fudden alteration in the mangers of a people as has been made in Germany within the present year.

Almost all the neutral powers have inftructed their ambaladors to forward pacific meatures at the court of Versailles, except the emperor: This confummate politician forelees that the Dutch will inevitably deprive him of great part of the trade now carrying on to Oflend, as foon as there is an end to the war; and therefore he has given the ftrongest affurances to the French count, of his refolution to affift the arms of France, in cafe of any other power upon the continent shall openly declare in favour of Great Britain.
