Remarkable ADVERTISEMENTS.

IN the Gazette, Jan. 30. 'tis advertis'd, that in July 1729, at Bentworth in the County of Southampton, a barn was set on fire, and the corn and grain therein, the Stables and out houses adjoining were entirely burnt. Several messuages in the said parish have since been consumed in the same manner, and Bentworth, it self threatned to be laid in ashes; his Majesty's pardon is promised to any one that would discover his Accomplice.

In the Gazette of the same date, 'tis advertis'd, that the widows of such half-pay Officers as serv'd, and to whom they were marry'd in the year 1716, may receive their proportions of the sum of 1500 l. granted the last Sessions of Parliament for that purpose.

London Evening Post, Jan. 28th. 'tis advertis'd from Whitehaven, that a vessel failed for London, laden with the late Mr. Wood's ore, coals, cinders, and lime-stone, to be carried to Chelsea, to give a Specimen that iron is to be made from the ore and pit-coal. A reason is demanded why Chelsea, that produces neither, is a better place to make iron, than the neighbourhood of Whitehaven, where there is plenty of both, unless there was design of imposing upon the World?

Any poor person may be cured of the Ague gratis, by a dose only, which may be contained in a gill-glass, and never known to fail. To be had of Mr. Sam. Tripland, at the Coach-maker's Arms in Great-windmil street, over-against the Hay-market.

Letters parent were granted to Mr. G. Kettle of Southwark, for making and dying of hats and ruffs of different colours, except black.
