TO BE LET, AND ENTERED IIPOS IMMEDIATELY, THAT capital "tun, called the Horrcr,, or fhe UxBRJOGE ARMS, most conveniently and d-'ligh: fully situated at the or the town of Carnarvon, on the road leading from the city of Bangor-, now in the holding of Mr. NValceinati, who is about to retire from public business. It consists on the tirst floor, of a large par- I'ur, and three others, ofsuitablpanrlconvellient dimensions; a spacious kitchen, and other offices adjoining; together with a good sized bar, most judiciously piaced so as to overlook the kitchen, the enframes to the house, and to the different parlours, as well ,I the whole of the court-yard, to which a bav-window is introduced. On the firit floor is a large room, which conve- niently accommodates a dinner party of eighty, and which by Gleans of partitions and folding doors, forms two excellent drawing rooms, ear-h commanding a beautiful view of the Menai and tile Island of Anjlesea. There are, hesides, on the floor, as well as in the attic story, a suitable Lumber of exceeding good hell-rooms; and the CELLARS undei ground are extensive and commo- dious. In the rear of the house and contiguous there- to, is a spacious court yard, comprising a very large.coach house, wilh a room of equal size above several stables, cow houses, larder, dairy, laundry senants bed rnnnJ, malt. house, brew liouse, and a variety of other offices, all arranged with great judgment: and within a few yards of the house, is a large walled garden, with a smaller adjoining. The tenant may he accommodated with any quantity of land, within a convenient distance, jiot exceeding 190 acres. There being an excellent market at Carnarvon, the House may receive a constant supply of every necessary article,especially fishof the best sorts. Independent )f (lie relIlr travelling to Car- narvon, anil the several public meetings held there within the course of the year, the very general re- sort to that town in the summer Season, affords a source of considerable emolument to the Inn- keeper. And all circumstances taken into consi- deration, there can hardly be a doubt but that a person well conversant in the business, may, by becoming tenant of the Hotel at Carnarvon, serve himself and the public, with very g-reatadvantage to both, especially at this time when there hap- pens to be a good opening. The tenant may be accommodated with all the valuable household furniture, plate, linen, china, horses and carriages, and also with the crops and produce of the land, at a valuation. And further particulars may be had by apply- ing to Thomas Jones, Esq Bryntirion, near Bangor; Mr. John Williams, at Plasnewydd, Anglesea or to Messrs.

SINGULAR, EXCAVATIONS
SINGULAR, EXCAVATIONS UNDER A CONSIDERABLE PART OF THE CITY OF PARIS AND THE ADJACENT COUNTRY. Mr. Curran's late mention, in his memora. ble letter, of caverns which run under the citv of Paris, has excited a good deal of public curi- osity. Some doubt has arisen as to the exist- ence of such subterraneous passages, as have been described by that gentleman. We are acquainted with some persons, who had resided a number of years in the capital of France, and who absolutely deny the exist- II ence of those excavations of which Mr. Curran speaks. We do not much wonder at their want of information on this sub. ject. The entrance into those subterrane- ous places has been always guarded by the government of that kingdom with pecu- liar vigilance. It requires particular interest to obtain admission into those singular cavi. ties-aridsomc even of the citizens of Paris have spent a great portion of their lives, with- out hafing kaowa that the houses in which I they had lived, and the streets which they had been in the daily habit of perambulating, ex- tended over in visible and perilous gulfs. To litit an end to all doubt, as to the existence of those subterraneous streets, we copy the fol- lowing article from the Encyclopaedia Britan- nica, which our readers, if they choose to consult that work, will find tinder the article of u Quarries." In cfJrroboratiol) of this article, we will also subjoin a passage from "I flolcrqfCs Travels, 2d voL p. 478. Many other authorities might be added on this in- teresting subject, if the narrow bounds of our paper permitted their insertion. QUARRIES, — A name commonly given to a most extraordinary cavern utider the city of Paris, the existence of which is known to few even of the inhabitants, and many of those who have heard of it consider the. whole as an idie story. Mr. Thomas White, a Member of the Royal Medical Society, of Edinburgh, &<vwho visited it in 1783, puts the matter beyond a doubt; having, with many leave (which is always very cautiously granted) to inspect it, having guides and torches with them.—He gives the follow- ing account of it iu (be second volume of the Manchester Transactions :—" At the entrance of Ihe Ol/servatoire Hoj/al, the path is narrolV for a considerable way but soon we entered large and spacious streets, ail marked with, names-, the same as in the city; different ad- vertisements and bills were found, as we pro- ceeded, pasted on the walls, so that it had every appearance of a large town swallowed up in the earth. The general height of the roof is about nine or ten feel, but in some parts not less than 30, and even 40. In many places there is li- quor continually dropping from it, which can- geals immediately, and forms a. transparent stone, but not so fine and clear as rock crys- talized. As we continued our peregrination, we t/iought ourselves in no small danger from the root, which we found but indifferently propped in some places with wood 'much de- cayed. Under the houses, and many of the slreels, however, it seemed to be tolerably se- cured by immense stones set in mortar; in other parts, where there are only fields or gar- dens above, it was totally unsupported for a considerable space, the roof being perfectly level, oi- a plain piece of rock. After travers- ing about two miles, we again descended about 20'steps, and here found some workmen in a very coid and damp place, propping up a most, dangerous part, which [hey were fearf ul would give way every moment. The path here is not more than three feet in width, and the roof so low, that we were obliged to stoop con- siderably. Oil walkingsnme little-, (Iiitatice further, we entered into a kind of saloon cut out of the rock, and said to be exactly under the Eglise de St. Jacqitcs. This was illuminated with greallasle, occasioned an agreeable surprise, and made us all ample amends for the danger and diflictiltv we had just before gone through. A,I, one end was a representation in niiniauKe o! some principal forts in the Indies, with the fortifications, draw-bridges, &c. Cannons j were plankd, wilh a couple of soldiers !o each, I j ready to lire. Senlmels were placed in diffe- relit parts of the garrison, particularly before the Governor's house and a regiment of arm- ed men was drawn up in another place, wilh their General in (he front. The whole was made up of a kinrl of clay which the pla-cc af- ion'ta, was ingeniously contrived, and the light that was thrown upon it gave a very pretlv effect. j Oil the other side (If this hail was a long table set out with cold louguos, bread, and butter, and some of the best Burgundy I ever drank. Now every thing was iiiti mirth; our fears were entirely dispelled, and ihe danger we dreaded the moment before was nu longcr thought of. In short we were all in good spit its again, and proceeded on our journey about two miles farther, when our guides judged it prudent for us to ascend, as we were tlieu got io the steps which led up to tile town. We here found ourselves safe, ai the I'al de Grace, near lhe English Benedic- tine convent, without the least accident having happened to any .of the party. We imagined we had walked aoout. two French leagues, and were ahsent from the surface of the earth be- twixt four and five hours. Asto the origin of this quarry,I could not, on tile strictest inquiry, learn any thing satis- tory and the only account I know published isihefoitowing, contained in the Tableau de Paris, nouvelle edilioti lorn premier, chapitre Sine, page I2me. "rcr the first building of Paris, it was ne- cessary to get the stone in the environs, and consumption of it was very considerable. As Paris was enlarged, (he suburbs were insensibly built on the ancient q. irries, so that all you see without is wauling in the earth for -the foundation of the city;—hence proceed the frightful cavities which are seen under the houses in several quarters. Tiiey stand upon abysses. It would not require a very violent shock to throw back the stones to fhe place from whence they haveben raised \s,ilh so much diilicully. Eight men being swallowed up in a gulf 150 feel, deep, and some other less known accidents, excited at length the vigi lance of (>u; police an*id the Government, and, in fact, the buildings of several quarters have been privately propped oil. and by this means a support given to these obscuresublerraneous places, which they before wanted. All the suburbs of St. James's, Harp-street and even Street of Tournou, stand tipoii the ancient quarries-and pillars have been erected to support the weight of the houses. What a subject for reflection, in cousidering this great city formed and supported by means absoltcly contrary !riiese towers, these steeples, the arched roofs of these temples, are so many fiijjus to tell the eye what we now see iu the air is wanting under our feet." L, Holcroft, in speaking of the quarries, has the following remarkable passage (2d vol, ». 1478);- '■ 1 i I In the rauxl)oljr- St. Gf-riiiaiii tl)ere is t very considerable quarter of Paris, which has long been said, and too often proved, to be dangerously constructed. Streets are built over the quarries, out of which the stones for building them were hewn, and these hollow foundations have sometimes failed. The quar- ries called Les Carrieres," are to (he num- ber, and nearly in the direction of the streets above." It may not be deemed superfluous nor un. interesting ifin this place we add that the gyp- sum quarries of Paris are remarkable for the fossii remains of animals. Amongst these fossils, Cuvier discovered the remains of two genei-a of quadrupeds, which he entitles Pa- heotherium aud Anoplotherium. 14e I found in these quarries the remains of ,I-i-, un- known species of dog. apparently a genus in- termediate between Canis and Viverra, (oge- Iher with a species of ichneumon double The size of that now in existence.
STATISTICAL NOTES.
STATISTICAL NOTES. The number of inhabitants of a country or of a city, is almost renewed every SO years and in an age the human race is renewed three times and one third. If we allow three generations for an age, and supposing that the world was only 5700 years old, there would bf^n 1 generations since the creation of the wd to ir titne, 124 since the dehme and 57 since the Christian mra and as there is not a bouse which can prove its origin even the length ofCharlemagne, it so follows, that the most ancient families arc not able to trace their origin farther back than 30 generations there are even very few who can trace so far without diving into fiction. But what sig- nifies 1000 years of illustration to 4700 of ob- scurity ? Out of 1000 infants that are nursed by the mother, about 300 die: of the same number committed to the care of strange nur- ses, 500 perish. The mortality of infants has terribly augmented during this luxurious age. Convulsions anddeutihon carry off the greatest part of them. Among 115 deaths there may be reckoned one woman in child- bed but only one out of 400 dies in labour The smail pox, in Ihe natural way, usually can ies of} 8 out of 100,—by iunoculalion,one scarcely dies out of 300. It is observed, that more girls than boys die of the small pox itt the natllnd way. From calculation founded on tjie bills of mortality, there are only It out of 3126 who reach the a^e of 100. More people live to >i.great age in c -vated situa- tions than those which are lower. The pro- portion of the deaths of women tu (hose of men is 103 to 108 Ihs probable duration of a woman's lirc is GO years. Married women live longer than single. It has been found ihat the greatest number of deaths have been in the month of March, and next to that, the moulhs of August and September. li) Nov. December, and February, there are fewest deaths; Out of 1000 deaths, 2J9 take place in winter, 289 in spring, 225 in summer, and Ivlorctlie, therefore, in the spring ii-. other seaqoti, I)ttt iii larye cities like London or Paris, winter is file most fatal season. Why r Because more persons are in towns in winter than in summer. Tin; half of all who are borne die before they reach the age of 17, The number of old per- sons who die during cold weather are to those who die during the warm weather as 7 to 4. The first month, and e-liecially the first day after birth, are marked by the greatest num- ber of deaths. Of 2735 infants who die when very young, 1222 die on the first day, and the remainder dllrilg the first mouth. According to ihe observations of Boerhaave, the health* est children are born during the months of January, February, and March. The married wt)li)el)"Ire to all tile fe,,iiale country as 1 to 3, and the married men lo &11 (lie males as 3 lo 5. The greatest number of births are in February and March which answer lo May and June. The number of 1 wins is to lhalof the wholc 1IIImbcr of single births as i to 65. The number of marriages is lo that of lite inhabitants of a country as 175 to 1000. In country places there are on an average 4 children born of each marriage in cities it cannot be reckoned above three and a halt: The number of widows are to those of widowers as to I but those of widows who re-marry to those of widowers as 4 to 5. The number of widows is to the ulImber of the whole inhabitants 5 tool, that of widowers as 1 to 15. Upon an equal space of ground there exists.

Rj/drophobia^-A melancholy case of this nature occurred lately at Benwell High Cross tiar Newcastle. On Saturday evening, the 3djutt. a youth uamed.Glark, about nine years of age, employed in benwell colliery, was se- verely hitln the cheek by a small dog, of the messet kind, which was afterwards killed at that place. The wouud was suffered to heaf and nothing serious occurred till Tuesday ge'i! night, when the boy shewed symptoms of Cal uiud madness, by snatching at a bowl in which water was offered to him. Medical assistance was then for the first time sent for, but, alas t too late, and the poor lad feU a victim to tl paroxysm, of thc disease oil Thursday se'n- night. On the morning of the one above re- ferred to, he bit an asstallding with a carl near (he Theatre, Newcastle, and was also seen to bite several oilier dogs.
