BEVONSKIR E. 



The foreft of Dart.mocr, under dirciftion of 

 Col. Tyrrwhitt, by the Priace of Wales's 

 ijrders, is rapidly improving, feveral thou- 

 ■fands of acres are grubbed uy for planting, 

 and on whfcfe bkak and comfortlefs bogs and 

 mountains, now Oiily the objeft of fliivering 

 paffengers, will fi on arife neat habitable 

 dwellings, fit for farmers and cottagers ; and 

 many acres of barren heath v ill be converted 

 into as many acres of oats, i^arley, bigg, and 

 wheat, for the benefit offocltty. His Royal 

 Highnefs ha: had this buiinefs in contem- 

 plation fome years, and is now determined 

 to have it carried into execution. 



A laudable inftitution for the relief of poor 



diftreiled ftran-.;ers, under the n«me of the 



Vlifericordii Societj, exilis at Plym.outh. 



mat place, from its local fituation, being 



\s of the gieat fea-p.orts of the kingdom, 



naturally brings to it numbers of the wives, 

 and other relations, of our failors and foldiers, 

 to feek after them in their fuppofed return to 

 the King's port, and the confequences of the 

 war have Induced this in a great degree : the 

 preffing necelTities of many a poor ftranger 

 brought to Plymouth by thefe means, gave 

 rife to this charity. The Committee of the 

 Mlfericordia are happy to fay, that hitherto 

 they h.ive been enabled, from the fubfcrip- 

 tions, to afford temporary affiftance to every 

 cafe which hath fallen within their notice. 

 In the prelent yenr, the numbers already re- 

 lieved have amounted to near tjvo hundred; 

 and from the inftitution. In 1794, to as many 

 thoufands. But from the prefent itate of 

 their finances, they are lorry to add, that 

 their purfe, from the annual fiibfcriptions 

 (and they have no other refource in any 

 funded or landed property) is not competent 

 to cover the expences of the year. In this 

 ftate they venture to look to the generofity 

 of the public, which, they hope, v.'ill feeS 

 with tliemfelves for the fame common caufe.
