MISCELLANEOUS REMARKS.

From Whitehaven a packet to Man, on which isle it is intended to give a separate account.
Nov. 13, 1771, Solway Moss overflowed, covering and destroying every thing within a space of 500 acres.
'The wizard Michael Scot' was a monk of Holme Cultram about 1290. - The theologian Paley was rector of Salkeld, vicar of Dalston and Addingham, and archdeacon of Carlisle; his 'Horae Paulinae,' 'Evidences of Christianity,' 'Sermons,' 'Moral and Political Philosophy,' were composed at Carlisle. He was buried in the Cathedral. - Tan Wadling Lake and Castle Hewin are the scene of a ballad in Percy's Collection, entitled 'Sir Gawaine's Marriage.' - 'Adam Bell, Clym o' th' Clough, and William of Cloudeslee,' three Cumberland archers and outlaws, are but little inferior in ballad celebrity to Robin Hood and Little John.
