I To the Editors of the A orlh fFalet Gaxctlc. GENTLEMEN. f aivs 'travelled through -th« district of North W-ales for more than half a century, before, there was-a turnpike between Ches- ter, aud Pwllhely, or Holyhead; at which times the inns afforded as small a share of accommotJation{to the traveller, eg the uii* tract heaths, an#-straight narrow-lanes. The late Mr. D. Smith of theWUite Lion, Chester, was the first person who made any, efforts to oblige the townships to put their roads in any state fit for carriages to travel. He drove his coaches through Danaannan, Bettws, and, -iNer Tal-y-cafn ferry to Conway, instead of crossing Rhyddlan maiiih, whicii was-soinetimes almost ijnjMtssable and I was, in one of my journeys, an eye witness to one y y of his carriages with foiir horses, and another tied bekind the carriage, being oTertaken by the tide on COllwno/ilands, when three of the horses were drowned, and the drivers by cllllill the ceins. of the other two escaped with their lives* the chaise remained under water till the next day. This accident im- pelled Mr. Smith to make more effectual efforts and afier. some time the road 'from Conway to Bangor and Carnarvon was made a turnpike. The Irish Parliament voting a large sum to iower the summit, and secure the pass over Penmaen Mawr. The euergetic mind of the late patriotic Lord Penrhyn, with the sfieniitic aid of his agent Mr. Wyat, accomplished wonderful improvements in the neighbourhood of his mansion and this laudable example has been followed by Lords Uxbridge, Bulkeley, aed the principal gentlemen in therr several districts m North Wales. It is a consummation, devoutly to he wished, that a scheme for building a bridge at Conway 1 erry was undertakes and ac- complished, it would be so great a benefit and accommodation tu the public. Permit me to adduce to the owners of mineral property in Ao-pth Wales, the necessity of their attention ht'tbe I>-t<:geu.t defenceless and dangerous state -of--the warn nut mines and .C&al piivo and to oblige their miners to rail, and cover them in such a manner as to pre- vent the frequent dreadful accidents which happen to persons and cattle by falling into them. Thill perilous evil is not confined to North Wale for the provincial prints tmh. lished in mineral comilies in England, fre- quently report similar unfortmiale accidents. I have known some small faritict-ii in Flint- silire who have lost their cows and horses by falling into these unprotected gulphs. 1 fcar that you wiU decii) me a grtimbUr, and not satisfied with the improvements that have been already done; but 1 have a wish to see my country, if possible, in a state of complete improvement. Of late years, the dilapidations and outrages committed 011 these venerable monuments of antiquity the Abbeys, and cas- have been in some degree prevented. The present hih price of coal andiuel, serves as an apology for-the lower orders to crop the I iiiil)t-r tict-s i) many flilricts, and this reason Irave frequently heard urged by small free- holders for-tlnsip not planting timber -trues to remedy this evil, -I--cannot immediately offer a plan tink-ss the patriotic efforts ( the nobility and gentlemen to obtain a repeal of tiie- coal dnty. shonidtakc place, which would in a great measure,-leave I hes-e despoil- era without a prcteucc lot; their depredations.

Miscellaneous. The fotlowmg singular occurrence took iplace a few davs ago, at the Hoyal Navy Asylum, at Greenwichs— A female child, five years tf age, was sent unotiymoutly to that establishment, with an inlimaiioii that fifty ponndsin Bank notes were sewed uttin the child's clothes, which svere accordingly found. The following account. tlf live birth", &c. of the little foundling <was also given ? the father was described as a mtnau on board a British man of war, and his wile, froinl some cause or other, was (permitted to to sea with liim. The tar was killed in action, and the day after his deauis his wife was delivered of a female infant under ou-e of the guns, and almost immediately -expired. The child was taken care ot by the messmates of the deceas- ed parents, and fed with tiiscuit and water; all of theiji acting the.pai-t of nurses, by t n-rn-s, and carefully removing it sfrom hammock to hammock, when they we re-eiillc-d upon Gutv. On the ship's arrival in port, the filly pounds above-mentioned were collected by the ship's cwinpany, and -the object of Alieir bounty transmitted to the Asylum. The child, has been baptised Sally Trunnion. BATH.—On Monday, Mr. Lancaster, deli- vered ii» Hie Theatre, a lecture on the educa- tion of poor children assisted by 12 of his T/oudon pupiig. At the end of Ihe tirsf par! of the lecture, two young gentlemen from Mr. Barber's school, accompanied hy about 40 of their school-mates, were introduced to Mr." Lancaster; and, after addressing him on his nobie exertions on toci'iziil' of* the unlettered1 j poor, a very little boy stepped 'forward Irolll the group, and presented the Lecturer, for the benefit of the New SdwolillliJal city, a purse containing lOt. Is. 6d. a^ihe-collection ol the young gentlemen. e net of benevolence had the effect of eUsclncilv on the whole house; the gallery showered down 1 their money on the stage and John Buli called aloud for hags to lie sent round, which was done by half a dozen lil lie boys, who collected about 4SA in the several parts of the house. fFarwicIc.—On Wednesday sc'rniight, Laun- ceiot Cooper, alias John Jones, alias Nil us Cooper, alias William Davis, aged 3-5, was executed pursuant 10 his sentence at the as sizes. Cooper was a miner; and horn near Dudley, Possessing ^reat muscular strength, \vith a dauntless resolution, this -misguided, man, from the evil propensities of a depraved mind, was for some years a ten-or io the neighbourhood in which he lived. lie was first convicted at Worcester, and pardoned on entering the Atrican Rangers, a condemned regiment, stationed in the West Indies. While in this regiisient, he assisted in taking Marti- nique-; at-the cud of six years, during which period he had neceived I;tslics at various punishments, he descried-, -and returned to i He was soon artaerwawJs condemned at Gloucester, for house-breaking; his sen- tence was coimnuted to transportation for lite, but he escaped ironi his gua'ids as they were conveying liim to ihe hnlies, in a short time he wim ap.prehended ;ti, A'st(iii, near Bir- mingham, with a great number ol picklock, keys, and other implements for house-break-; ing, in his possession. Fr«ui this lal.fer cir- cumstance hi-s doom was irrevocably fixed-.—- However, lie seemed at last in miiiie degree ^re- uitent, tliougli not in that soleniii way give satisfaction to those who witnessed It-is Jjiug hour, Enclosing TVasle Land*.—Mr- Couliug,; of Cariuarlheu, a gentlcman who has al- ready surveyed sixteen inclosures in the Principality, has circulated an address to ti'.ose land Proprietors who are interested in Inclo- sures, and he conlroverIs a random assertion 11 that lias bef-u made, namely that if the "'whole ComiK'tm lands were sold, the sum "produced would not be sufficient to defray the attendant"evpcncos." Ah-. C. states, as his opinion, t,hat., where Commons are of considerableiGagnitude, and medium value, iu genera! 0\« NINTH ot the gross quantity when sold will be found 1iuflieient for oh- tainingtlie A<-( making the Public Roads, and every Person employed. The suhsequatit hints on tlus subject ave from the pen and experience of E. Parry Esq, Upon the incSosure of the parish of Litile Dunhai» in Norfolk, in the Yc-al, n9t, being Lord of the M;tiior^ t tot a clause inserted, di- ruetiivg the conuuissioners to set out a parcel of land to be called tlie, Poor's Estate-* to he vested in HIe llIrd or the manor, rector, churchwardens, and overseers of ike poor for the time being, and to be -let by them for 2l years on lease; the rents a.,i(I profits to be laid out by them in fuel, to be delivered at fche cottages of the poor, in such proportions as the trustees should think; proper. '4 Although the prejudices of the poor against the inclosure were very great before it took place, the mofBcnt they saw the land inclosed, and let as the Poor's Estate for 21 years by auction, at the rate of 501. a year (although only estimated by the coin-iiissioners at 201. a-ycar,) they wert; highly gratified and have indeed great reason to rejoice,-as they will now be most amply sup- plied with that great comfort of life. The first idea Ava., io sell the land, and place the money in the public funds, in order to pro- duce a larger income j but I fountj that was not understood by the floor; they saill they might at any rime tie deprived of the money, and they had no mtereTrt-Tfn the land inclosed whereat, in the mode pursued, they considered themselves as having a nermaoent: anti impfoveable estate, which their oluldrcn would1 inherit. These pre- judices are valuable-; as in their con-seqttezicei they produce, if attcnded to, indusrry and con- tent. I have had occasion to observe as to fuel, that where there arc commons, the ideal advan- tage of cutting flags-, peat, or whins,, ofren causes a Poor man to spenif more time after such fuel, than, if tie reckoned his labour, would purchase for him double'tliat quantity of good firing." ,> It has been fVequenlly remarked that we have not of late years grown corn enough for own consumption, though fifty years ago we had a copious exportation of it. Unlets our waste lands are extensively brought inta cultivation, Ihe deficiency between our .growth,, and our"consumption will annually increase; for the causes of this deficiency are not likely to become lessened. These causes are princi- pally three; the increase in the consumption of butcher's meat, by which much arable land is converted into grazing land; and the in- crease in the number of horses kept for war, fur husbandry, and conveyauce of g<Jods, and fgf,pJg^ureP I'lifStt ctvusss of the delicicivcy of em bread torn will continue to increase* not only with the increase of our luxury in the use of of carriage and saddle horses, but with the increase also of our husbandry, and of our trade foreign and domestic, unless the use of oxen for draught, sfioilld become more common than it ever has been in this couulry( or canals should-beconae general. l-ongcvUy.—Ui the smali parish of gey, noldstone, a few miles from Swansea, there are now living twelve perSims, whose united ages amount to 1008.

Upon hearing this, Collinghourn, accompanied bJGuffuud Wortlej, proceeded to Woolwich, and took Bateman and his wife into custody, and brought them to the above office, where iliel underwent a long examination.

Anecdote of Peter Pindar.-—Afiet prostitu- ting his talents to the infamous purpose of calumniating his sovereign; he has permit* led his favourite artist to hand him down itt h:s true colours to postenty. In two histori- cal pictures by Ollie, representing the deÜh of James 1 ol Scotland, and the murder of Rizzio, in the presence, of the unfortunate Mary, Peter Pindar is drawn as the assassin.
