The honding fyfteni is about to be extend- 

 ed to the port of Falmouth, where the ware- 

 houfcs to be Iic<nfert for th.it purpofe have 

 been furveyed. This regulation will not be 

 more advantageous to th.it pljce than to the 

 interefts of commerce in f;eneral ; the (itua- 

 C'on of this harbour at the entranre of the 

 linglirt) channel, being paiticuHrly conve- 

 nient for a depot of merchandize from the 

 Weft Indies, America, &c. The quaran- 

 tine is to be removed from Falmouih, to 

 SciLy, where a lazaretto is to be formed 

 for i;s ufe, and a hol'pital is to be immediate- 

 ly built for the fick of Falmouth garrifon. 

 This ftrufture is to ftand on the weft fiJe of 

 the peninfula, immediately below the callle of 

 Pendennis. 



The following eafy method of taking the 

 honey, without deflroying the bees, was com- 

 municated to the Editor of the Cornwall G.i- 

 zctte, by a rel'p;<ftable French Prieft, whoaf- 

 ferts th.it it is the method generally adopted 

 throughout France. In the dufl< of the even- 

 ing, when fh.e bees are quietly lodged, approach 

 the hive, and turn it very gently over; having 

 fteaaily placed it in a fmall pit pievioufly dug 

 to receive it, with its bottom uppeimoft, 

 cover it with a clean new hive, which has 

 been previoofiy prepared, with two fmall 

 fticks ftuck acrofs its mid:ile, and rubbed with 

 feme aromatic herbs. Having carefully ad- 

 ju.led tiie mouth of each hive to the other, 

 fo that no aperture remains between them, 

 take a fmall (lick, and beat gently round 

 the fides of the lovi'er hive for about ten mi- 

 nutes or a quarter of an hour, in which time 

 the bees w:ll leave their cells in the lower 

 hive, afceiid and adhere to the upper one. 

 Then genily lift the new hive, wth all its 

 liitle tenants, and place it on the ftand from 

 whence the o:her hive was taken. This 

 Ihould be dune fome time in the week pre- 

 tcjing Mioiumnner. oay : that the bees may 

 have time, Lifore the fummer flowers are 

 fidcd to :ay in a new ftock of lioney, which 

 they will not fail to do, for their fubfillence 

 thf ugh the wi".tcr. As many as have the 

 humanity and good fenfe to adopt this prac- 

 tice, will find their rcwara in the increafe of 

 iheir ftock, and their valuable produce.

A numerous and refpeftable meeting of 

 contributors to the Public Difpenfary of Edin- 

 burgh, was held on Friday, the 31ft of May, 

 in tlie Hall of the Uifrenlary in Richmond, 

 ftreet. At that meeting, in confequence of 

 reports from diffl;rent committees, fome 

 prupolals were adopted with a view of ex- 

 tending the ufer''ulnefs of the Difpenfary. It 

 was unanimoully agreed, that the benefits of 

 the Difpenfary ftould be extended to the 

 treatment of thofe difeafes which require 

 the aid of the Surgeon, as well as of thofe 

 which require the {kill of the phyfician, 

 wlien they are of fuch a nature that they 

 cannot with propriety be admitted into an 

 hofpital ; and that, as there are already eight 

 phyliLians, there iliould be eight iurgeons 

 to the Difprnfary. Mel)". William Far- 

 quharfon, Alexander GiUefjiie John Walker, 

 Charl-.s Andcrfon, James Anderfon, George 

 Kellier, James Wardrop, and John Aber- 

 crombie, all of whor,i are members of the 

 royal college of Surgeons of Edinliurgh, were 

 recommended as w.-ll qualified for the du- 

 ties of fuch an office. All thefe gentlemen 

 being prefent at the meeting, cheerfully 

 agreed to give gratuitous aid to the poor at 

 the Difpenfary under fuch regulations at 

 Ihoula be enaitcd by the Mandgers. It was 

 alfo unanimoufly agreed, that, in imitation 

 of a fociety lately eftabJiftied in London, for 

 the Relief of the Ruptured Poor, ft eel trulfes 

 fhould be furnl(h-d to the indigent at the 

 Difpenfary, under luch conditions as may be 

 thought proper. A rrport w^s prefented 

 from a committee appointed to devife fome 

 plan for pronioting the Exrcrmiiiation of the 

 Natural Small Pox in the City of Edinburgh. 

 But as doubts wne entcrlaimd refpeiting 

 the propriety of fome prrts ol this plan, it 

 w^s agreed to recommit this funjctl lor future 

 confiJcration. It was, however, unanimoufly 

 rcfolved to reprint an adorcls to p.- rents, 

 drawn up by the Royal Jenncrian Society <f 

 London, and to furnilh clergymen in Edin- 

 burgh with a numj>er of copies of it, to be
