In vain we fill the sparkling bowl, In vain idulgc the flow of foul, To cheer the heavy heart; For where’s the rest that wine can give, Cr song to make our spirits live, If Phillis bears no part ? Then drink to Phillis, ever gay, Sweet rival of the Rosy May, And I ’il get drunk for joy. For fay, wliat ’s life without the sex, A fourcc of endless ills to vex, And all our bliss dellroy ? I hen fill again the bumper high, Let echo bear it to the ficy, The name of her we toast : While Catch and Glee & sportive laugh Shall join the Nedlar’d Wine we quaff, ’Till time itfelf is loft. Thus bleft and happy, Time may run, And end our days, as wc begun, In spite of War’s alarms ; For let Divines fay what they will, There’s that which sweetens every ill, In lovely Woman’s arms. MOULSIANUS. ANECDOTES. A Gentleman who was very crooked, was met in the road by a tailor, who atked him if be came Jlraight from home, and was replied in die affirmative— “ Then ” said the sailor 4 ‘ your iionour was very much warp’d by the way.” A sailor who was amazed at the tricks of a juggler at Chelter, was blown up with ihc rest of the auditory, by a fbark of a candle reaching foine gunpow der, in the lower apartments. Jack was fafely landed in a cabbage garden at fome diltaix and when he had quietly refeat cd himfelf, his full exclamation was “ D— mate, what will this fellow do next ?” LIMERICK, [lreland) March ao. The coach called the Telegraph, in coming; from Kirdorrery, to this town, took fire in confcqucnce of the great iridlion of the wheels. T here were in the coach a young gentleman by the naieof O’Balkley, who was going with his father to get his marriage licence at Limerick, the rev. Mr. kellby—and outside was a drunken foldicr. The fire having communicated to a calk of gun-powder, carrying to Mr. Flyn the grocer, it blew up with a tremendous ex plosion. The parties in the carriage were blown to pieces, but the foldicr, who fell off the carriage a short time be fore, elcaped with only the fracture ol an arm. T he remainder of the coach in flames was drawn by the terrified horses thro’ the ic reels of Limerick to the liable of ihc owner, which it set on fire ; but the flames were happily extinguilhed, elfc the whole of Iriflitown would probably’ have been consumed. The militia on this occasion diltinguifhed themselves, aul have received the thanks of the cor poration. A number of coal heavers, to the num ber of twenty, in the service of Mr. Sant, coal-merchant, were fortunate enough to pofiefs one half of a ticket, which came up a prize of 20,000 b in the present Engliih ftatc lottery'.

EVE’s arrival in Savannah, puts it in the power of the fubferiber to aniwer any enquiries relpe&ing his Cotton Ginn’s. All Subscribers will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 32-ls Cotton Ginning. TII E Subscriber is err.po tiered by Air. E T E, of the Bahama Islands, to receive a fubfeription for his Cot ton Ginning Ma c hint. G en tleman of the Hates of Sourh-Caroiina and Georgia, who may wifii to become fubferibers, are requested to lend for ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the fubfeription may be closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent of the pow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s nart, he con tracts that this Machine wiii gin joolb.s. of dean cotton per day, with a small impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or of horses. This machine in a few days, and with a trifling expence, can be attached to any machine in use for other purposes, such as rice machines, saw or grill mills. Mr. Eve will fend over a person competent to set them in motion, and fully to explain their sev eral powers. From fome small expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from iyOto 20olbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this subject I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi- from a refpedable Cotton Plan ter of this state, who has been an eve witnels of the execution done by this machine, and to various certificates that have come out at different times in the Bahama papers, signed by themeft ref pedable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may wifii to become a fubferiber. Ths machine has met with universal ap probation in every part of the Weft- Indies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORGIA , Chatham County. IDO certify, that, being on a visit for my health to New Providence, one of the Bahama Iflands*, I was induced to make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot ton Ginning Machine of the green feed cotton, commonly cultivated in the back country of the southern Hates, and feat to Savannah for a small quantity there of, which on experiment T found to an swer. The rainy season setting in a bout the time I received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as sured me his machine was competent, from the calculation he hud made, to clean out in good weather two hundred weight of clean cotton in the course of a day. The machine separates the feed from the cotton by roiiers without do ing an)’ injury to the ilaple, and, from a sample of feed and cotton in pofi'eflion of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my stay in Nas sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never law more than two people attend mg the fame, one a grown person and the other a small boy. This machine is capable of being attached to alinoft any of those used for various purposes in this country; the conftrudlion appears by no means complex, and every planter of consequence in the Bahamas is in the practice of using them.
