At the anniverfary meeting of the fubferi- 
bers to the General Infirmary at Northamp-

Oxfordhire—Bedferdpire—Northamptenpire, Se. 
SOS 
patients admitted and difcharged; by which 
it appears, that 36,274 perfons have heen 
cured, and §252 relieved, fince the foundation 
of the old county hofpital,in 2744. 
The intended turnpike-road from Northe 
ampton to Bedford, is likely feon to be care 
ried into effect. Among the many new roads 
Jately formed, none perhaps promifes greater 
advantage to the public or individuals 5 a cone 
fiderable tract of country through which it will 
be carried, being at prefent fcarcely-fafe for a 
horfe during two-thirds of the year. It will 
unite the two county towns, and as a maill 
will be petitioned for, to pafs through Bed= 
ford, inftead of going empty through Dune 
ftable, the former place will enjoy the advane 
tage af a daily poft. As the diftance from 
Northampton to London, through Bedfordy 
will be only five miles more than through 
Dunftable, avoiding, at the fame time, Woe 
burn fands and Chalk hill, the new turnpike 
will certainly enjoy a confiderable thare of 
the pofting bufinefs. 
The Peterborough Agricultural Society. 
will diftribute the following premiums on the 
7th of November next: For the beft bull, 
not exceeding two years old, feven guineas 
—for the beft boar, not more than twelve

numerous family without parochial afliftance,

guineas for the longeft fervices with any one 
mafter or miftrefs.
