« deliver coals at Dunkerton, within four miles 
of that city, and the price of that neceflary 
article is now, in confequence, between od. 
and rod. per cwt. at Bath, which at this 
feafon laft year yielded 14d. or 35d. per 
cwt. Such are the vaft advantages of a water 
conveyance of about five miles only! 
Upwards of 450 of the poor widows of the 
freemen of Briftol received each a donation of 
Ios, in the courfe of laft year, by virtue of 
the will of Mrs, Layton. 
At the beginning of this year rofes, auri- 
culas, anemonies, violets, carnatioas, poly- 
anthufes, and bloffoms of beans in full per- 
fection, were gathered, in open ground, in the 
garden of Lady Seymour, of Wells. And 
fuch was the mildnefs of the feafon, even 
at the end of January, that the vegeta- 
tion of grafs, wheat, turnips, &c. was nearly 
in the fame ftate as it is in ordinary feafons at 
the heginning of April. 
* . The magiftrates of Briftol, alarmed at the 
great increafe of the number of proftitutes in 
that city, are taking meafures to reftrain the 
progrefs of that vice, and the inhabitants of 
the parith of St James, have opened a fub- 
{cription for the purpofe of profecuting the 
keepers of diforderly houfes, for the difcovery 
of each of which they Rave offered a reward 
of five guineas. 
The prefent feafon at Bath is diftinguifhed 
both for the number aad refpectability of its 
vifitors; few years haying to boaft of a more 
fplendid lift of perfons of diftin@tion than the 
books of the mafters of the ceremonies nov 
exhibit.
