We hear that a Meteor, or large Ball pf Fire, was feen by fome Perfoos on this Ifiand laft Monday Morning, between One and Two o'clock; and, after a violent Exp'oiion, difappearei. The Concuffu wis fo great, as to occa-fion the Report of an Earthquake and fuch, for want of further Information, we menti Bed it before. Laft Thurfday Night we had a fevere Storm of Thunder and Lightning, by which a Stack of Hay at James-Town wis fet on ar.d co-fumed. We hear that a Barn near New London, was alfo (et on Fire by the Lightning, at the fame Time, and burnt. Gideon Cornell, Efq; of this Pkce, lately died of the Smallpox at Kingfton, in7 a maica.

SCOTLAND. Edinburgh, 03. 10. The following it an amazing Inilance'cf the Agility of forat of the prefent Species of EngJifh Gentleman in the Neighbourhood of Chefter-fe ftreet; in the County of'Durham, no lefscfteymed for his Veracity, than rematkable for hii' uncommon ies ih Horferrianfhip, being ex- tiemcly well mounted, accompanied by another Gentleman, and in clofe Purfuit of a Hare, this Scafon, in Northumberland upon poor Pufs's making a fharp Turn round (he Corner of an Orchard, the Gentleman's Horfe with unbridled Rapidity leaped over a very high Will the Orchard, pitched in a ftandnrd Apple-Tree near the Wall, and bis Weight immediately forced him thro' the Branches to the Grcpnd, leaving the Gentleman, who had difengaged himfelf, upon one of the Boughs, tho 4 he fti!) retained the Bridle-reins in his Hand, by which he brought the Horfe Under the Bough, and recovered his Seat again, rode to the Door of the Orchard, and from thence in freih Purfuit of the Hare. What ij remarkable, neither the Gentlernan nor his Pegafus received theleaft Hurt.

Laft Week a Woman at Leitb, m. quence of fojiie Difference with her Husband, received a Blow on her Head, of which (he lingered two Days, and We hear, died 06. Saturday hear likewife that the Htif- band has thought projer to ma6e h'tsEfcape. On Saturday-a violent Storm fprungup here, which continued till Ycfterday EVejfihg, ahd was accompanied: with Rain. We heaj' as" yei of no bad Confluences of this except that it has blown down the Nprth Gave! of a Hdu'fe juft now a-butlding by the, Secedets at Leith, for their Place of Worfhip.

They write from Dundee, that the Magi- flrates there have three Days ago, fixei a new Affize of Bcead, which woald tend' much to the Relief of the Poor, as they will have it confiderably cheaper. It could be wifhetf that. other Boroughs would follow this laudable Example, which if frequently ordered in Teims of the Acts of Parliament, might greatly Conduce to the Good of 'Society, by preventing thVopprefljvt Meafures too often practifed, of making Bread fhort in the Weight. On Saturday Night laft, a Fire broke out Sievewright's Houfe at Prknrofe (alias Carington) about eight Miles South'of; this Placej which with the whole of the Furniture ihef'eifi" was entirety confumed. The Flanfes likewile communicated to two adjacent Houfes, but by the timely Affiftance or the the Furniture was got out without much Damage and the Fire at laft happily prevented from fpreading further in that populous Village.

Are there net double the Number of kept i.i London within thefe very few Years by every Ha- berd-rfher, Cliandlers-fhop-man, Giocer, Shoemaker, keeping Poll-chaifes and Country-houfes within ten Miler of this Metropolis? Do not even Butchers now go to neighbouring Fairs and Maikeis in Poll-chaifes inftead of on Hcufeback as formerly Does not every.Shopkeeper now keep a Table equal to -vvjiat any Man of Five Hundred a did formerly Has not every Mechanic as much Victuals dreffed daily as would have feivcd his Forefathers three at lea It, befides his Pod chaife, Man in. Livery, and Country-houfe Where then is the Wor.dtr all Neceffaries of Life fhould be fo dear in and about London no Doubt, kilening, this Evil will daily encreafe, as Luxury fevins every Day fo to do with the Size of the Town; and, unlefs the latter is Hamp- fte.id and Highgate will, in a few Years, be London alio the total Ruin of the Country. But now Word" or two for the diftarw Counties. 1 have a fmall Efiate in ad ilia at County, of about four hundred and' twenty Pounds a Year: I havtv no lefs than feven Tenants on it, and about Pounds a Year that is in Fields about a little Houfe I have unlet.

I this-Summer fet out to vifu fome Friends I had in different Counties, and, at lall, when 1 fhould arrive at my ovtm Spot, went with a Refoluiion to endeavour to let the to fome fubftantial Man that would rerun rne my Rent to London (where I conftmtly Iw) without my having any further Trouble of colject- ring it from different Hy (though.I mull fay they ah-ays paid well) but in my Tour I was refolved to inform mylelf of the Occaiion of the Dcar'nells of all over thefountry, .1 had travelled a very little Way before I was thoroughly fnitfiid rhat the very Thing I'was going to do with my Eftate the Caufe of all our Evils, and not only of itut bin a much greater, which "11, the Country, My Eftate had feren Tenants on it, cctricquent- ly feven FamHies, and breeding. Ones too: for I reckoned them, and thue were no lefs than fevenry three Men, Wi-mcn; md Children- upon Every Wife reared as Poultry which ihe at the next Market Town as cloaihrd herfclf, which was to her what the great Ladfes call Pin Money Each Fa-rin reared as many Hogs as fupported thorFamily, wi.h. the Help of a Bit of Bu-tcber's Meat on Sundays and Holydays. I immediately determined I would not add my Mite to the Deftruction of this Country, by turning my little Farras into one g'est one, and which Practice will prove our Ruin if not thought on in Time. I muit have turned" fix Pamilies to fhift far themfelves our of feven-; and Families that iwt only fup ported themiehes, but kept Butchers Meat down in the Market Towns by the of Poultry, Pigs, Sec.

they fent ituo Maiket, belides all their Corn which was carried to Market on the Market-day, And what JS I. to have fubflhuted in the Place of ihtfe feven ufeful Families? Why one, who, of ieven'ry three Souls on my Land, would had ten or a Dozen only -whole Wife might have ordered her Maid to havp bred a few; Fowls for her own and my great Tenant would fqld all his Corn by Sample, to have been delivered at the next Shipping For: and have fed hisDpmeilics with Beef out of the Market. Thus fhould I have made at leaft fixty Heg- gais, and helped to raife 'he Price of every Ne- ceffary of Life in the Neighbourhood. In ihort, induflrious young Men of low Birth will not ftay the Country; there is nor Bufiriefs for them the Year roUnd, by Means of thefe Farms; and tleycin never hope, by the Fruits of their Induftry and Length of Service, to arrive a.t wherewithal to take aFarm of four or five Hundred-a Year, though they frequently ufed to arrive at one of fifty (when there was any fuch Thing), marry, and fettle upon it: Bu: now, all up to London to feek their Fortunes, where they don't fina it; then away to America, ice. It is the fame ivith the Women, For, Want of fmall Farms, there are no fujtable Matches for them, nor Employment, The Men go, and they follow become Proftitutes thro' Neceflity in this Town piefen.ly, and then (hip themfelves for fome of our blefied Colonies by Dozens.

I afraid I am already too tedious but though Co ill handleed by me, yet the Subject appeared to me fo interesting that I could no; help entertaining Hopes you would give it Room. I now conclude with one Piece of Information I gor, which is, that, by the Means of thefe great Farms, there are not a fixth Part of the Poultry and Hogs bred in England that were a very few Years ago; confequently there mull be Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Lan.b, con- fumed more, in Proportion to the Pecreafe of the Poultry and Hogs. It is in the Power of any Man to convince himfelf, in one Month's Time, of the Truth of all is mentioned and of the fatal Confequences that muit this monopolifing of Land. Tnere are People who farm Tiws Thoufand Pounds, or more, a Year. How many Families, and ufeful Subjects, would be bred on fuch an Eftate divided into Farms of one hundred or fitty.Pounds a Year each.
