Advt.--"SEA-KALE, a new Culinary Vegetable----Mr. Curtis respectfully informs the Nobility and Gentry, that the small quantity of Sea-Kale fit for the table, which he has to dispose of this season, will by his appointment, be sold by Messrs. Dickson and Anderson, Seedsmen, Covent Garden Market, to whom he will continue to send it daily, fresh cut, for the short period it may last. Printed directions for dressing it, are tied up with each bundle."--(_Times, April 30, 1795._) In the subjoined advertisement we learn the prices, and qualities, of various Wines, and the list gives us all the information required to find out the different sorts of wine then drank. "At Priddy's Foreign Warehouse, and Vaults, No. 14 Poland St., a large quantity of the following Wines, &c., which being, himself, the Importer of, can warrant genuine, at the following prices, viz., at per Dozen:-- Ten years old Sherry 25/ Red Port, vintage 1788 20/ Old Lisbon 20/ Calcavella 22/ Fine Hock 30/ Vin de Grave 26/ Madeira 36/ Claret 36/ Ditto, first growth 42/ Burgundy 60/ Red Champagne 70/ White " 70/ Hermitage 42/ Frontigniac 36/ "Rich Aliatico, and Montepulciano, Florence Wines, real Cogniac Brandy, Jamaica Rum, Rotterdam Geneva, and Orange Shrub, on the very lowest terms."--(_Times, April 16, 1793._) Coals, though, of course, not an article of Food, were undoubtedly of use in cooking it: and may therefore be mentioned here. Our Grandfathers paid very dearly for them: but it must be remembered there was no land carriage, and a continued contrary wind, or a "hot press," would leave the London Market bare. The magnificent basins of Inland Coals were scarcely known, and only those like the Moira Collieries, near to a Canal, could be worked. They were sold to the consumer at per Chaldron of 2800 lbs., and the prices below quoted represent them ex-ship. Add to this the cost of delivery and profit 12s., and take the Sovereign as being worth 30s., and it will much account for the small stoves then in vogue. "The price of Coals in the Pool, yesterday, were:--Best 43s. Inferior sorts from 36s. to 38s. Delivered to housekeepers 49s. to 44s. The price rose considerably yesterday from a report that several colliers had been captured."--(_Times, Feby. 12, 1793._) * * * * * "COAL EXCHANGE. "On Monday the price was 70s. per Chaldron all sorts. On Wednesday, the price was 60s. and some sorts lower. On Yesterday, the price was 50s. to 45s. per Chaldron. We are happy at giving such an agreeable account to our readers."--(_Times, March 7, 1794._)
