Prcv'iticidls. — ExceiT.ve rains, day and night, have witliin a fortnight 

 fallen in Cumberland, thereby rendering the roads almoll impafTablc ; 

 and, at length, tlie different bridges in the fuburbs of Carliile were in- 

 accefTible, being furrounded with water. On Tuefday morning, the u- 

 nited rivers of Caldew and Eden, overflowing their iDoundaries on all 

 fides, preiented to the eye one undiftinguifhed iheet of water. Some 

 acres of potatoes and of newly fown wheat, feveral Iheep ai^ young 

 cattle, were fwept away. 



On the "Wolds of Yorkfliire, plantations continue to be formed daily, 

 on a conviction that the land is not lefs improved by them, than the 

 "beauty and appearance of the country. 



The Potato. — This excellent and wholefome root is very rarely cook- 

 ed in the manner it merits, and whereby it may be made into food at lead 

 as nutritious as any fpccies of our diet. The following is the true Lan- 

 cafhire receipt : — ' Sort out your potatoes as to fize, fcrape off the rind, 

 put them into an iron pot, (if call iron the better), fimmer them until 

 they begin to crack, and a fork will pierce them eafily ; after this, pour 

 off all the water, put away the lid of the iron pot, fprinkle over them 

 fome fait, and fliake up well ; after this, place the pot at the edge' of 

 the fire, and there let it remain for an }i(jur, or more : in this time, all 

 the moillure of the potato will gradually exhale in fteam, and you will 

 find them (be the fort or growth what it may) white and fleaky at 

 fnow, and in fuch a ftate of eating, as thofe only can judge who have 

 tried them. Take them out with a fpoon or ladle. '
