Pool advertifer, recommends to fea-faring per- 
fons the experiment of hanging out a line of 
table over the fiern of a veffel or boat in a 
rough fea, as this appendage has the faculty of 
taking’ a very lony wake, and will of courfe 
Livtle dan- 
ger is to be apprehended, as he obferves, from 
a long fweeping fwell of the fea ; the mifchief 
generally arifes from over-hanging fur =85; 
which break m upon theyveffel at once; and 
overwhelm it with water. He quotes. feveral 
inftances of long coils of rope, with. pieces of 
wood at the end, beinz appended to veffels in

effects produced by the tow-line, in balancing

YORKSHIRE, 
From areport of the committee appointed by 
the mayor and commonalty of York, to make 
plans of the new bridge, propdéfed to be made 
over the Onufe, and of the imtended improve- 
mentsin the avenues on both fides of the river: 
it appears that the fcheme is practicable, with 
far lefs inconvenience to the proprietors and. 
owners of the houtes, lands. &c. than could 
have been expected in a cafe of {uch import- 
ance ; many of the houfes being old and ruin- 
ous, and moft of the owners being willing to 
fell outright. The corporation, with a view to 
ave Ehediuens they have promifed to contribute 
towards the charges of the undertaking, have 
agreed to difeantinue the allowance to the lord 
mayor; who will alfo be obliged to difconti- 
nue, -provifionally, the giving public enter- 
tainments,. é¢c. Theie improvements will not 
only prove highly ornamental to the city, but 
will tend to enhance the value of land confide~ 
rably on both fides of the river *,

* The prefent bridge confifts of 5 arches, 
the middlemoft of which comprehends the fur- 
prifing {pace of 8r feet, computed from the firft 
{pring of the arch. The reafon of its. being 
fuch extraordinary dimenfions, was 
to prevent a ditaiter fimilar to that which over= 
turned
