chery, in that town, the whole fum want- 
ed, twelve thoufand pounds, was fubfcribed 
in two days. As the benefit of furvivorthip 
is the only inducement which the plan holds 
out, the raifing of fo great a fum in fo fhort 
a time, is a proof, that when meafures of ge- 
neral utility are brought forward, there will 
not be wanting, in the inhabitants of this 
place, public fpirit to fupport and carry them 
jnto execution. A correfpondent of the Huil 
advertifer, who figns himfelf ‘* A fubfcriber 
to the Tontine,” fuggeits the propriety of in- 
witing Architects to prepare plans for the in- 
tended improvements, in order that, by aproper 
felection from the whole, if neceffary, a defi- 
nite plan may be adopted, before any part 
of; the propofed meafure is carried into exe- 
cution. 
Of the improving ftate of agriculture, the 
following facts are ftriking inftances. At 
Mr. Robfon’s fale of cattle, in the Eaft Ri- 
ding, a few days fince, a calf of eleven weeks 
eld was fold for 41 guineas ; and the remain- 
Ing term (9 years) of a farm of 500 acres. of: 
land, in Holdernefs, lett at gos. per acre, was 
fold for two thoufand three hundred pounds. 
The leafe was put up by auétion, which 
proves the utility of this mode of letting 
farms.
