4 1 Tilu was letciia ana ouici oiu as tney v'crc coming by the Bottom of St. Martin; Lane a poor ragged Creature was heard to cry out bitterly that fhe would hang or drown herfelf, and as her Voice was extremely plaintive, feemed to denote real Mifcry, they feized upon her, and carried her to the Round houfe. The Account which he gave! of herfelf was, that me had belonged to a Brothel, but being neglefted by thejCuftomers, and falling into Difgrace, the Mafter of the Houfe had Uiript her ef all her wearing Cloa'ths and Money, andjin that Situa'on, after exercising the moft fbockirig Tyranny, turned her out of Poors. Some time ago a Caufe was to be heard before the Court of King's Bench, betwixt thcWife of a Journeyman Taylor, and a Journeyman's Wife of another Pjofeffion.1 When an eminent Council be kf, thi thrT.ffe&snf the contending Par kin 1J UCJI lu, ni.vun.n ties were not worth Five Pounds in the World, fo miferably poor it v. that fnx his Part he had receiv a wo umneas sor his Brief, which he was willing to return and which he accordingly did return, and added another Guinea He recommended the fame Practice to the oppofite Council, with which he complied alfo.

The Jurymen contributed a Shilling each all which was given to 'the Parties, who were defir'd to go to an Ale houfe, and make it Tjp. This is an Ihftance of Honour and Generofity in a Lawyer, which merits Imitation and the Gentleman who fet this Exampi, in almoft every other both in his Profeflion, and out of 1 juftly deferves to be placed at the Head of the prefent Race of Pleaders. By Captain Brown from London, and Captain Robbins from Newca ftle both arriv'd atBofton, we have the following Advices. COPENHAGEN, June 17. HI Danifh Majefty's Marriage with the Princefs Juliania Maria of Brunfwick, is abfolutely concluded, and the new Court already formed.

The Friends of the French Eaft India Company give out, that their Friend and Ally Salabet Zingue is in quiet Polieffion of the City of Aurengabad, the Capital of a Kingdom of the fame Name and the Fortrtfs of Trichenapaly, the laft Place that had held out for the Family of Anaverdi Khan, has furrendered and that the Governor of Pondicherry! has received from the Mogul's Firman, confirming all the Grants made him by the Vice Roy of Golconda. But as all this good News has had no perceptible Operation upon the Stock of the Company, the more intelligent Part of the World conclude that it is not oveicertain. Time however will very quickly decide the Point. The Moftra Signiora del Pilar and St.

Jofeph Laubura, arrived at Cadiz in 113 Days from the South Seas and the St. John Bap tifta Miguel Rebotto Thereau, is arrived at the fame Port in 51 bays from the Havannah, and the St. George and the Jafoi, arc arrived at Cadiz from Vera Cruz.
