HISTORY Of ikiECKX'OCICSIIIR'E. ByTHEQPlllU'S JON-X,: BF.I'l'IV RFCISTUAR OF I'HK ARCHDEACON R V or BRECON. Roods. About the middle of the last century some gentlemen, feeling site illCU!\V1'HIt;11CC arising from the want of good roads, proposed to repair and widen the old lanes, by ill- dividual subscription, and in Se¡.¡teI11ber, 1755, the Brecon- shire Agricultural Society agreed that if an v parish would raise a sum over and above the statute duty, (not exceeding t,-eittv towards the repairs of any part,of thepost- roads through the county leading from the county of Car- marthen to the county of Hereford, the inhabitants of such parish should receive from this society one halfof such sum, to-he laid out for the-.repairs of such road, ,Ky any person -whom titis meeting should appoint; stick work to be per- formed befwie November, 1756. These exertions were attended with considerable effect; four afthc parishes on the post-road appear to have availed themselves of the liberality of this society, and a stage- coach having been estabiished to win trom Brecon to Lon- don, once a week, through Abergavenny, Monmouth, and Glocester. in 1757 they extended the same, premiums to the parishes repairing the coach road over the Bwleh hill, and lo the road in Liangynidr leading to cual atid lirae, as they allowed towards the improvement of the post roads. A general surveyor of the highways i^^ughout the county was ;{p|KJinted, at a salary ot, per annum rewards were given to parish officers cn,ploycd thereon to encourage them in their activity, allowances Ilvde towards hedging and fencing to those who gave their ground for wi- dening theui, and various other improvements were sug- -gested aad acted upon by this truly public spirited asso- ciation but patriotic and laudable as these efforts most certainly were, the subscription of individuals was found to- tally inadequate to answer the desired ends: in 1767, there- fore-, resort was had to Par/i. rncut, aHa an act passed to re- pair and widen the principal roads iu the comity of E5re- cou under theautlwritv of this law the commissioners erected toll-gates and turnpike-houses, and proceeded to put the spirit of the act into execution to enable them to carry their design into efFeet, they were empowered to bor- row lO,oonL ou the credit of the tolls, and to take such other steps as might he expedient and conduce to the fur- therance of tiie work.. II Under these and other laws which followed at different ■times considerable impro veiueotvha ve-been made iu the di- rection and formation of the roads, the convenience and qomfort of travellers promoted, and the. pmfits of the pro- duce of the earth have -increased- rapidly, for uiany years after the establishuiettt of the stage-coach by Mr. Harper, of the Golden-Lion, it continued to run only til sooa tLttcr the turnpike-road was finished, it was extended-to-Cartaartliea,- and upon the adoption of Mr. Palmers plan, an atlclllpt was nnute to bring the mail by COitch throltgh He retard and Hay, bat some real or ima- g««ery difficulties occurring in. this route, it has since taken the road through Giocester, Mouinouth, Abergavenny, Bre- con and Carmarthen, to Mihbrd, every night in the week, excepting oil Tuesday and Friday on the return. Several *'?ggpnsb«i<ie also been established for the carriage of hea- vy- articles to and from Brecon and the other towus in that country, which setottt and return every week, so that a EtUMparatut; bustle and activity mast appear tu prevail here, Is is admitted by those who recollect the origin of those iraprovemeuts, but, alas perfection is riot to be expected in the works, of njaa, and it. is-.very seldom that we are not enabled to discover in the most prudent designs and the mast zealous exerfir-nis very coi3siderable«rrors and glaring defects. The teade of BrecMtshirc, for instance, has re- ceived much beat-fti from the measures adopted from the rnjddkto the latter end efti'teList century; yet an habitual iuauejit'.art to t!se cuntiiutal repairs necessary to. preserve a road, istlie generalcharacteristic af this and perhaps all other cotiiiUea.—X« sooner has the arut of th^ law com- peted the farmer to. attend to his own interest and to do his dtity, though a considerable espence is incurred by the is- suing of the usaal processes no sotmer-has the indictment i>e&i discharged, and the commissioners exonerated from punishnu M far their former neglect, than the same "fault again .occurs so far from eatpl<tjtug a person- to repair and preserve the road daily in each parish, tbey suffer-it to become wos-se aud worst:, until some persou, from public spirit or private interest, feels it again necessary to apply tke blister upon 'lw:ir backs, to prove to the world that Meiv are but children of a larger growth. Aud that: aofhiitg but holding tie rod over them, and the repeated use oUt, will enforce, their attention even to,their awp agahil this unconquerable indolence as well m. the aiinasC universal use of narrow-wheeled waggons, it is iu rain that the man of science argllcsor the magistrate in- .vtjighs; inveterate "habits continue the one error, and a ha- tred ot innovation and an ill-judged parsimony, as injurious as it is prejudicial to-the public" roads, perpetuates the other. There is also a want of judgment I find sbíL, even now frequently observable in this comity, I. -sn the dircctwn the priacipal, and other highways. The piaii aud prsueipies on which a road sht.-uid be laid out are at present perfectly understood, and uuiversitlly admitted, tkough seldoia attended to, nature has pointed them out to «s as dearly as if she had evplained thclIsin words; her ro:tdi are fivers.; Ie,, those be followed as closely as possi- ble; and from the towa of L'sic to Carmartlleu, a distance of eighty miles, throagk scouatry-rectarkabiy mountain- aus aiid mieveti, a road may be formed in which there u*:ed not be a single asfieut that may not be gamed with ewH' and «m foil gallop by a past-chaise and pair, without «y«riag tfoe horses or alarna«g the travelling, and this only fey attending ta the obvious directions I have hinted at.- Sappose we set off from the town of Usk in Monmouth- shire dte nt-er of that name should be followed upwards, as dote is possible, as far as Trecastle, then the little fcrottk Llogya to its soarce. froro thence on the south-east of Gwyddccig dowiwards, and at the bottom of.Cwmdwr, asa.ear die river.as »ay. be. instead of climbing or clinging to tke side of tke mountain as the present improved road does and lastly we pursue the course of the Towy. to CariMartlieij, a ever losing sight of it, and only keeping out aftile noadt ai floods. Of late years it is certain-that great uiipreveciieats 1¡,uve faeea made ur Brecotwhifev by avoid- ing the ?re«iM:454<ioiis bills hetweett Llandovery and Tre- casde, and the very pkturcsfjue deviations at Bvvlch catillucti(ie(l, biit wbik tlse unnecessary hdiour of clinibieg up and' down anot&er Swkh reoiaius, 'however we may, be entitled to approhatKja for what has been- etfccted, a nuisance still »-taix;s tis in the face, which as long as it continues, will be a reproach to ;,w. public spirit, our industry and our cx- erttat: Siuce. I wrote the above., I learn that the liberal and I pitblk-spirLfed proprietor of Buekiand. has offered his land pnhhc gratis, for the purpose of avoiding the uui- j;iace complained of.

The Latona has arrived at Plymouth from the channel fleet, to refit, having struck upon a rock while recon- noitring the enemy ill the inner harbour of Brest, and ri eeived so much damage,that she made three inches of, Wil- ter in a minute. From a French fishing-boat which sh.) fell in with, the Latona received intelligence, that the enc- j my's fleet at Brest consists of tell sail of the lute, two In- gates, and a brig, all of which have their sails bent, except one ship of the line iu dock. The fishermen asserted, that the ships were very much out of repair., and not halt man ned, great part of their crews having been drafted to fit out the squadrons which have been detached to the East and West-Indies. There is said to be such a deficiency of stores in the arsenals, that the artificers are not employed more than two-thirds of their time. The naval returns up to the 1st instant, state the number of ships in commission to be-of the line, 14'i; fifties, HI frigates, 1.51 sloops, 18*2 gun-brigs, &c. 245; making n total of 7,112 vessel.—The ordinary comprises 22 ships of the line, 20 repairing for service, and '26 building. Two- ships of 74 guns each, building at Woolwich and Deptlord, will be compleated for launching the latter end of this summer they are to be named the Invincible and Bombay. Q Two new ships are building at Plymouth, viz, the Cale- donia, of 12U guus, and the Union, of 98. The former is ribbed up to her gun-wale, and is to remain in that state for seasoning, for about ten or twelve months. The keel is laid and stern up of'the latter ship, but the quantity of repairs of old ships in dock, and to go into dock, with those constantly coming in from sea, prevents, for the pre- sent, any additional gangs being put on ships building in that yard. Afr. T. Amos, a person nearly 60 years of age, who had resided four years at Tottenham, put an end to his existence a few days ago. He was a singular character; for during the time he had lived at Tottenham, he was never known to go out of his house hut three times nor had he any vi- sitors during that :period. On the day on which he com- mitted the act of suicide, he went into the privy of a neigh- bour's house, and hung himself to the roof. The jury re- turned a verdict -of I.iuiacji.—It is singular that a few years ago the wife of this man terminated her existence in a similar manner. All account of the extraordinary expences of the army, paid by the Paymaster-General of his Majesty'sforces, from the '25th December, 1801, to the SMih December, 1805, both inclusive, has been laid before the House of Commons. The total amounts to 3,'272,3861. 15s. IOd. from which, if there be deducted 3,000,0001. the sum granted to his'-Majesty," in the last Session of Parliament, for defraying the extraordinary expellccs of the army for the year laOS, there will remain to be provided for, a ba- lance of 272.3ikH. 15s. JOd. M. Tussac, a refugee from St. Domingo, has discovered a method of extracting a spirituous liquof, similar to rum, from the pulp of coffee berries, ,hidr !lÚ, hitherto only been used as dUng. The London Horticultural Society have ascertained, bv experiments, that both walnut anit mutberry trees may be made to produce fruit ajjjhree years old and they are of opinion, that the same mode of culture would be equally successful in regard to .other trees. A new mineral has been discovered in Cornwall, iu one, of the Gwennap mines, where it forms an incrustation round projecting particles of spongy pyrites, which ap- pears to contain a considerable portion of cobalt. The colour of the mineral varies from a light ash to a rfark brown it is of a close and polished texture, and breaks like flint. Its particles are very brittle, and when tritu- rated, give out a strong hepatic odour. -It is soluble in nitric and murtatic acids, precipitabie by alkalies, and it is llkelv to beof much utility in the arts: D. Davenport, Esq. is elected Meniber-for the couuty of Chester, in the room of the fate Mr. Egertoh and Mr. Colclough for the county of Wexford, after being stroligiv opposed by Mr. Alcock. On Monday the Lively, of 32 guns, lately arrived from the Streiglits, was paid a first payment of prize-money, and each man received 1,01. Oue JlHul,a.ctually received, hav- ing been turned over from another prize-taking frigate, 4201. As usual, coaches, girls, and all sorts of vehicles were ill requisition the whole day, with that part of the ship's company who were let come ashore on leave. On Tuesday morning one. ofthepoor improvident brave fellows found himself alone in a room, without a single farthing left in Ins pocket. Feeling ins forlorn situation, he shook his bead, and told some of his comrades, he thought the wisest way was to go onboard again, as there was to be a second payment on Friday, "and then: my hearties," says the honest sailor, l'il be with you again in the cracking of a biscuit, if I can get leave" to come ashore." Among other eccentricities of the Lively's men, one of them mar- ried, and swote, his Bet should have as many goid rings as her fingers could hold, and actually purchased, of a Jeiv pedlar, 38 gold rings, in which state she was married. The total number of French and Spanish prisoners in Mill prison, and the prison ships in Hamoaze, is 6930. Thursday, seven waggons loaded with casks filled with specie, arrived at the Bank of England, escorted by an officer and a party of light hor^e. A great concourse of people assembled, among whom a report was spread, that if was property taken on board the Marengo. It proved, however, to be a large sunl of dollars', which had been sent to Hanover, but was carried off before the Prussians took possession of that country. The party stopped at Romford, on Friday last,- upon their way to town, and a cenfinel, who had been placed over the waggons, took that opportunity to break open one of the casks but he was detected in the act, and lodged in the barracks. The Dowager Empress of all the Russias has sent an or- der to this country for the purchase of the best prepared skeletons that can be procured for the sum of 500 guineas. Last year her Majeity bought anatomical preparations of all eminent surgeon in Leicester-place to a considerable amount. The followimg toast was lately given at a dinner by the members of a roast beef club "The roast beef and the spit—the one to fill our bellies, and the other to run those through that would dare to invade us." A few days since a countryman going into the office at Doctor's Commons, where ali the wills are kept, was sur- prised to see such a number of large volumes, and en- quired if they were Bibles No, sir," replied one of the clerks, « tliey are '[;l<W1CI!/S," Patents are become so common, that one was lately taken out for slicing cucumbers. Friday, John Romiiey, alias Ronvellet, was committed to Ilchester gaol, for forging the acceptance of Messrs. Child and Co. to a Bill of Exchange, value 4201, with an intent to defraud Madame Simeon, of Bath. The prisoner has moved in the dashing circles of fashion. A Collecfor of Taxes for Bridgewater district has been committed to Ilchester gaol, for monies unaccounted for, to the amount of 7191. Grand Brcwhausc Dinner.-The two entertainments given last year by Alderman Combe, at his brewhouse, the one to the Prince of Wales, and the other to the Duke and Duchess of York, gave great satisfaction to their Royal Highnesses. With excellent and: substantial fare, they combined all the attraction that is to be derived from va- riety and contrast-wifh the refinement of high life, and were rendered further interesting by. the revival of a cus- tom uf English hospitalitv, in those good old times, when the eminent porter-brewers were used to entertain the So- vereign upon the throne in their brewhouses when Sir John Barleycorn's pure and generous spinrt presided at the festive board of Princes, and afforded a richer beverage than the choicest wines of Spain and Portugal. The wor- I thy Alderman, encouraged by the success of his ciiicrtttiii- g ments of last year, invited his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to partake of a similar feast this season, to which ns Royal Highness readdy assented..Thursday was the day •appointed tor the purpose, and a numerous party of lie "Prince s friends were liivited to meet his Royal Mi^h- ess. The entertainment took place in. Alderman Combe's brewho'u-e, commonly called (i .Brewhouse, in Cas- tle street, Long-Acre about hatf past four o'clock, the Al- derman, accowlHlllied by his sou, Mr. Ilarvey Combe, and Mr. Shuu), attended at the brewhouseto receive the com- pany. Sir Gilbert Heathcote was the first. His Royal iiighness the Prince of Wales arrived in a few ter. The workmen being at the time in full activity, brew- ing porter, and mashing malt, his Royal Highness minutely inspected the operations, with which he was greatly enter- t t.lined, and made several enquiries into the process and manufacture. In a short time he was joined ;by the Duke 01 N"rfufk, thè Lord Chancellor, Earl of Lundertialc, Vis, cothtittowick, Lord Robert Spencer, Lord John Town- shend. Mr. Tierney, &c. and, a few minutes before six u'clock, the company sat down to dinner. The table was III the figure of a triangle, and was laid close to the place where the workmen were mashing the malt. Hop-sacks constituted the table-cloth, and before each guest was laid a wooden trencher, with common knives and forks.—Five fine rumps of beef w'ere provided, and a butcher was elU- ployed to cut the steaks, from the primest and. most deli- cate parts of them. The steaks were then taken by the stoker, the man whose eniptoyfuent it is to attend the lire in the brewery, and Avho performed the functions of cook upon the occasion. The iron fire-shovel being made bright and clean, was placed upon the brewhouse fire, a.nd the. stoker laid the steaks upon it. He turned them .with a small piece of iron in the shape of a horse shoe, and when they were sufficiently broiled, they were taken off, and put upon a wooden shovel about a foot and a half square, which is used in turning or removing the malt, and in that state carried to the table. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wit.les was the first helped, and was waited upon by his' worthy host, who cut the centre piece out of one of the steaks, and placed it upon a trencher, the Alderman's gen- tleman laid it before his Royal Highness, The- clerks and other persons employed in the brewhouse, dressed in white aprons, waited upon the rest of the company, witom they helped ill the same manner, as no livery servants were ad- mitted. The table was also furnished with abundance of lettuces* sliced cucumbers, and a variety of pickles, in in wooden bowls. Porter, served in pewter pots, was the only beverage. His Royal Highness was in high spirits, and declared he was never more pleased with a dinner. The dinner being over, at about seven o'clock, the worthy Alderman retired unnoticed, and having mounted his horsC, rode off to his house in Russell-street, iiloomsbury, to be in readiness to receive the Prince and-the rest of the company upon their arrival there, to close the entertainment of the day. Just as 111ey were about to leave the brewhouse, Mr. Sheridan arrived III his carriage, and afforded them a hear- ty laugh at his, disappointment. Upou their arrival at Russell-street, they sat down to a most sumptuous second course. The table exhibited many most beautiful decora- tions, including two curious vases, ornamented with festoons of roses aud oilier flowers, and a beautiful plateau in the middle, with a giotipe of China figures. The viands con- sisted of Guinea fowls, Turkey ponts, green geese, duck- lings, pease, and French beans. The desert consisted of the most delicious fruits, grapes, strawberries, &c, and Burpun- dy, Champagne, ciaret, hock, and port of the finest growth and flavour, sparkled upon the festive board. Ilis Royal Highness withdrew between nine and tell. Dublin, May 29.—-A very destructive lire broke out on Saturday last ill the town of Longford aud notwithstand- ing every.exertion,-was not suppressed until two breweries and above iifty dwelling-houses were totally consumed. This calamity having principally fallen upon the poorest class of the inhabitants, the distress which it has occasioned is extreme.—Wednesday se'nnight, at night, a tiro. broke out iil the work-shops belonging to Mr. Hill, a caipentef, in Brown-street, (in the Liberty). The entire concerns were consumed. The wife of Sin"IliU, who was un veil, and in bed, was so dreadfully burned,that sire died shortly after her husband conveyed her from the flames. Daring Robbery in Ireland.— On. Wednesday night, the 21st ult. about a quarter past ten, the long coach, which conveys passengers from the maij-coach-olfice, Dawson- street, Dublin, to the packets, at the Pigeon-house, was stopped by ten or more persons, artned with blunderbusses, pistols, and swords, at the other side of the 'Canal bridge, near a lime-kiln at the Low Ground, who robbed a 1,1 the passengers, about seven or eight. The villains obliged the passengers to come from the carriage, and rilled them as they came out, commanding them to turn their faces to a wall that was near, immediately alter plundering them, that they should not have an opportunity of observing their per- sons. Lord Galiir.and Mr. George Latouche were two of the passengers: from his Lordship, they took about 4001. and it is said 70 guineas from Mr. Latouche.- They robbed the other passengers of money, and also carriud off some light packages.

LONDON, Wednesday June 11 Thursday June 12 Monday JF> Wednesday 18 Monday 23 Tuesday 24 after TEnit, Thursday 26 Friday 27 Fashions for JuMp.—-Walking dress pantaloons of corded cambric, trimmed round the bottom with lace or fine mus- lin a smooth frock dress of the same material is much ad- mired the novelty of this dress (though several made their appearance in the gardens last Sunday) was not so conspicuous, as trains of thin musiin were worn over to disguise, in some measure, the. singularity of its effect. Equal striped cambric muslins are coming into fashion for morning dresses, which are made high in the neck. with elastic fronts, long sleeves, no train but Unfed round the bottom. It is no longer considered muuvuis ton to dress in the forenoon; our 6l6ganies appear as much so at that time as they formerly did at Itaiielagh. Mantles of various shapes and forms still continue the rage, but the most prevatent are those with hoods trimmed with coloured ribbands.—Spencers of straw coloured and pale pink in the Turkish style are much worn, and havc a very graceful appearance.. ■ Pale blue, yellow, and lilac nnislin scarfs, with black Egyptian borders, are much in fashion, I he peasant bonnet of figured silk, with an heron plume, and shaded mistake ribbands. A spencer a VEspagaole, and shade:) silks, sprig tenon, or spider-web, trimmed with shaded mistake ribband. A barouche hat of dia- mond or split straw, trimmed with extreme broad ribband. Never were straw hats so much in vogue as at this mo- ment, it would be impossible to describe their various forms every elegante wishes to have a straw hat accord- ing to her owngouf; the mob straw-hat, tied under the chin, and ornamented with a lace trimming, is a very novel straw hat. and appears to be confined to the higher classes of elegantes. The trencher hat is much approved of, and will become very lashionable. Yeoman, or doom crowns, may also be classed amongst the most novel fashions. Sarsnet bonnets of every description are now more worti than ever by our most elegant females; amongst the va- rety of;shapes we have recently observed several III tl-e style of Mary Queen of Scub, they are particularly be- coming. Silk caps ornamented with flowers, and trimmed with fine, lace, are Worn by many, ladles of fashion instead of hats, a large veil is worn over them, which serves as a dra- pery for the whole figure; fancy hat* and' bonnets are not so genteel as plain. Lace caps are also as much worn as ever, trimmed with flowers, or' silk handkerchiefs, but ribbands are not so much in use for tliem as last month. The variety of colours worn at this moment renders it impossible to say whi.cb are the most fashionable, but the most prevailing are stt'aw, pink, lemon, aud lavender. MONTHLY AGIUCULTURAL REPORT. The Jafe fine weather has been favourable to vegetation, and the Wheats and early sown spring corn have recently much iuiproved-i The Barley and Cats which were jsown about the beginning of the month have been brought for- ward by the rains which fell at that time, and those crops which have been top-dressed have been much benefited, The finellcss of the season has permitted the farmers to tinish their spriug sowing in the best manner. Beans and Peas are in a flourishing state, and grow fast. In the fens, where the spring sowing was much impeded by excessive wet, which fcti- m March, it has lately been finished in g.ood condition. '1 he Turnip fallows, in well-managed districts, are in a state of great forwardness, and those lands which are to be fallowed for Wheat are already broken up. Winter Tares, in rich warm situations, are nearly readv for the scythe, and of rich succulent food. Pastures afford a good bite to Feeding and Dairy Stock, as do the Clovers aud Grass Seeds to fattening Sheep, Ewes, aud Lambs. ° The Meadows, on warm rich soils, are in a state of great forwardness, promising a good swath, and in some such situations, near the metropolis, the Hay Harvest has already commenced. Lean Stock, both Sheep and Beasts, have been brought in great abundance to the late Spring Fairs, and maintain good prices, as do Cows, Calves, and young fresh Horses, all which continue much in request. The Pig Markets- are, as usual at this season of the year, dull. MARRIED,—The Rev. Charles Hughes, of Barham, Kent, to Miss Knatchbull, eldest daughter of Sir Edward knatchbulJ,—I, Savage, Esq. 31.
