PATRICK’S PRIZE.
T N our Lottery of State, when the tickets
X were dear,
.Poor Pat’ from Kilkenny, had purchased a
(hare •
Which was, as the wheel of dame Fortune
turn’d round,
Drawn “ principal money ” a prize twenty
pound.
Pat’ ran to the office, and found to his cost,
On counting the cash he live lhillings had 1011.
“ Devil burn m- !” cries Pat’, ” and it’s well
ns no v/orle,
Since the greater the luck, hill the greater the
curfc ;
If, by chance, I the prize twenty thousand
had won,
.Blood and ’oimds! but poor Patrick had been
quite undone.”

A tav upon the wearers of gloves, being ru
mour and as likely to torm a part oi the Minif
.ter’s Supplementary Budget, an Iriftunin,
hearing of this iiiggeftion, remarked, that such
n tax, would oblige many hands, to go bare
footed.
The following N B. appears at the bottom
of the Charlelton play bill : *• The manager
teuu >. that no gentleman will ftioke in the
boxes or pit.” This reminds me ol an order
made >t Peter iburgh in a former reign, ‘- that

of the day.”

TALL FEATHERS
Are now the rage—Lady Caroline
Campbell displayed in Hyde Park the
other clay, a feather four feet higher
than her bonnet ! At the aflemblics
there is a room let apart for the Lady
vilitants to put their leathers on, as it is
itnpolfiblc to wear them in any carriage
with a top to it. The luftres are also re
moved up on this account, and the doors
are carried up to the height of the ceil
ing—A well drelied lady who nods with
dexterity can give a friend a little tap
on the lhoulders across the room with
out incommoding the dancers.
The PROPAGATION of a LIE.
To the Managers of the Telegraph.
Gentlemen —lN my way to town lad
Tucfday, I was very agreeably furpriz
ed with intelligence of peace, and as
disagreeably disappointed to find that
this was only a Hying report. In what
manner it flew, I am now about to Hate
you, as a caution to all country gentle
men, who, like myfelf, have more cre
dulity than wildom, and more hope then
patience.
Precisely forty yards and one foot
and haif beyond the iecond mile Hone
on the Hammerfmith road, I was in
formed, from undoubted authority, that
articles or peace had arrived. Exadly
oppolitc ti c Serpentine river I learned
that the c.rooked politics of the Pruflian
court liar been defeated by that woman
of great depth, the empress of Rullia.
Isy the time I reached the turnpike at
Hyde park corner, .. negotiation had
taken place at Baile. Farther on in
Piccad|'y, the French were willing to
agree to our terms. Near Burlington
houie, a poor crazy man, with a coat
that looked as if it had been turned,
talked ibmething about indemnity,*
which I couid not very well understand.
In the Hay market I understood that
thecontrads forhorfes had been difeon
tinued ; and in the Strand, we were to
receive Corsica and the Cape, two of
the molt valuable places in the world.
Coming through Butcher-row, I was
tolu that our fuceefles, under the gallant
Putfaye, had inclined the French to
lilien to terms. At Temple-Bar, I was
happy to hear there was to he an extra
ordinary meeting ot the privy council,
to lay .heir heads together in order to
forwaid a peace. In Cheapfide, the
turns t ere adually iigned : and in the
Poultry, the lord mayor had received a
letter from the secretary of Hate ; but
upon enquiry neither he nor his barber
nor any other darn'd hon jl fellow knew
any thing about the matter. At the
Bank I found that Hocks were riling
without the help of money ; and at the
Hock exchange, they would give me no
fatisiacUon, unless I would fay whether
1 was a bull or a bear. Beyond this,
nothing was to be learned refpeding
peace. In leaden ball-ft reef) the con
lideration was* the jioule iiit, or an open
election ; and in my attempt farther eaft
vard, 1 tumbled into one of the new
docks, and there, I suppose, I loft the
peace, nor can 1 learn that any body
has found it.
1 am, gentlemen, your’s.

Cotton Ginning.
Til E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V E, ofthe Bahama 1 Hands,
to receive a subscription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wilh to become
fubferibers, are requeued to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the subscription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent ot the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin scolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a frnall
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 r ice machines,
law or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a perfen competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fume small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjetb I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi
ficate from a refpe&able Cotton Plan
ter of this Hate, who has been an cye
witnefs of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the moll ref
petflable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from 2ny gentleman
who may wilh to become a fubferiber.
This machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Wed-
Inciies to which it has been Pent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Islands, I was induced to
make an experiment cn Mr. hive’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine ofthe green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country oi the southern Hates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season letting in a
- the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve al
lured me lus machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of dean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
fanfple of feed and cotton in pofleliion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my Hay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve's ma
chine which w as impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to alrnoft any
of thole used for various purposes in this
country; the conftrudion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
