considerably less than that in the Harrogate water, it is taken in larger doses. The principles which compose Thorp-Arch water give it a superiority over Harrogate water in general relaxation, bilious disorders, glandular obstructions, and scirrhosities, stomach com plaints, and spontaneous vomitings. Harrogate water is to be preferred in cutaneous diseases, the piles, rheumatism, worms, ulcers, and probably in the stone and gravel. In many other cases the medical virtues of the two waters appear to be nearly equal. The chalybeate water of Thorp-Arch pretty much resembles that of other chalybeate springs; but the air here is of uncommon purity, and many have experienced its good effects who have scarcely tasted the medicinal waters. The accommodations at this fashionable watering place are extremely good;

in addition to three capital inns there are a considerable number of lodging houses,

suited to the various circumstances and

condition of the visitors. Thorp-Arch is supposed to derive the latter part of its name from the family of D'Archis, who came in with the Conqueror, and had large possessions in these parts. The church, which is dedicated to All Saints, was ordained a vicarage by Archbishop Sewall, in 1258, but in the early part of the last century the living was only of the yearly value of £24, till, by the liberality of the Rev. Mr. Robinson, of Leeds, and Lady Elizabeth Hastings, added to a donation from Queen Ann's fund, and a contribution from the Rev. Mr. Wetherherd, vicar, the tythes were purchased as an augmentation to the living. The present church is a beautiful structure, of which the Earl of Huntingdon is the patron, and the Rev. Robert Hemington the incumbent. All the houses in Boston are of modern erection; it is said

that the first house built in this division of the village was erected by the late Mr. Joseph Taite, in the year 1753, and that Mr. Samuel Taite, the gentleman who con tributed the land upon which the episcopal chapel in that place was erected, seven years ago, was the first person born in Boston. There is here a charity school, founded by Lady Elizabeth Hastings, and a neat Methodist Chapel. The population, with Clifton included, is 1360, namely, Thorp-Arch 343, Boston 677, and Clifton 340.†

Post Office.-Letters are conveyed to Thorp Arch and Boston from Wetherby every morning. John Smith, the letter carrier, arrives at 10 o'clock, and returns immediately after circulating the letters. + Erroneously stated in Vol. I. at 1017.

ALDBROUGH, (P.) in the wap.

and liberty of Holderness; 8 miles NE. of Hedon. A flourishing and very lively village pleasantly situated on the declivity of a small eminence, and consists of some elegant and well built houses. The church dedicated to St. Bartholomew, is a large Gothic structure, of which the King is patron, and the Rev. Nicholas Holmes the vicar. In the interior is an ancient circular stone fifteen inches in diameter, commemorating the building of the church, the inscription on which may be translated thus:ULF COMMANDED THIS CHURCH TO BE ERECTED FOR THE SOULS

OF HANUM AND GUNTHARD. Ulf, here mentioned, is supposed to be the same who gave his estate to the church of York, and in this gift was included Aldbrough, where he had a castle, the foundation of which is now entirely levelled. The Roman road from Protorium to Gabrantiesoum Sinies, runs through Aldbrough. The following is a copy of an extract from an old history of York, which was lately found here, "York, 1291 1292. Jo. Spear, Mayor." These years the mayoralty was in the king's hands, and Sir John De Malso, or Meaux, was governor See EDDLE- of the city, he was a great warrior and tall in stature, as appears from his armour, which is now to be seen in the church of Aldbrough, where he is buried under a stone monument representing him in full length lying, and also the figure of his wife. A Mr. Towry left a quantity of land, the rent arising from which, is distributed to the old and infirm at the discretion of the minister, overseers and churchwardens for the time being, about 20. of which is appropriated to the education of poor children. Pop, including East and West Newton townships, 998. Holmes Rev. Nicholas, vicar Craven Rev. William, curate
