wnode of exhibiting the Edystone light, and 
adopted the improved principle with Argand’s 
famps and reflectors, producing a light of 
great brilliancy, that will be visible to a 
much greater distance than the former light 
with candles. 
Mr. John Cotton Worthington has com- 
snunicated an account of his practice in cule 
tivating sixteen acres of tand, near Sidmouth, 
in Devon, entirely by the labour of asses. 
His waggort was extremely light, calculated 
to carry about a ton and a half, and cost 16}. 
Six asses were harnessed two abreast in- it; 
the harness was a miniature of that ofa horse, 
except that the cullar divided at tep, like an 
ox’s harness, and buckled togethers the pair 
ef chains weighed about 6lb. at 2s. per ib. 
er 8d. per foot; the wheel-harness with 
hames, pad, iron-work, bridle, breeching, 
Grupper, &c. cost about 11. 16s. ; the leading 
ditto 1]. 7s.; expences of shoeing 1s. Gd. a 
round. In all stiff work, four asses were used 
at plough, harnessed two abreast, and driven 
in hand with reins by the ploughman. Ten 
or eleven acres of Mr. Worthington’s land in 
aration, lay on the slope of a hill, so steep 
that horses had not been able to plough it up 
aad down, but which his ass-team readily 
performed, The asses, none of which exceed- 
ed eleven hands in height, cost 4@s. or less, 
each : in the same team, stallions, mares, and 
geldings were used; the mares were found 
the most gentle and tractable, the geldings 
most stubborn and inactive, yet the most sa- 
gacious; the stallions somewhat vicious, but 
of double the spirit, strength, and vigour of 
either of the others. The asses were not 
found liable to any maladies; were temperate 
eaters, and throve best when turned vut into 
a neighbouring common to cater for them- 
gelves among brambles. 
An hospital for the indigent blind, under 
the title of Bethesda ; or, House of Mercy, is 
@pened at Plymouth "dock, for the humane 
purpose of rendering that class of people 
comfortable and happy. 
In digging the common sewer at Exeter, 
several pieces of brass Roman coin, of the 
‘Emperor Neto, were lately found, and some 
af them very legible and in good condition. 
Those dug up lately near the Guildhall, 
were of the Emperor Trajan.
