S EVEN! NG P O S T. VOL. XXIX.] From WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, to FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1771. [ Numb. 2221. To the PRINTS R. SI R, EILL you fpare one corner of your Paper for the relief of a female, who wiil not often trouble you, and who could not exilk without giving an immediate vent to the ill treatment and hanllbips & e fu- ffers from that legal tyrant, a Hufband. You mull know, Mr. Printer, I was married tfoout fix years ago to an Haberdafher in the CVy, and have four children by bam. He is i « a great run of bufmefs, and in a fair way of getting a large fortune. Tbe man, I molt al- low, is fond ttnough of my perfon, and makes, in what is called fhe main point, a tolerable Hufband ; but then he is fo very folicitous and arrtxiaus about faving money, and providing well for his family, that he will not perinit me to partake of thofe fafftionable p'leafures and amufe- nients, wfriieh give a zeft to Jife, and without which a we$ aa » of: any fpifit mull be miferable. Would you believe it, Sir, he- hath a& ually for- Bideleh me to go tto ANY balls, TOUSS, Sec. and is wot pleafed at my making a " party at cards every , evening only in the neighbourhood. This- is ; i'tich tyranny, Sir, as no woman can, or ought to bear. 1 need, flot'acquaint you, Mr. Primer, •' fhat when Wives_ meet with { ucb pewerfe and ; obftinate Hufbands, tliey are frequently oNiged to have recourfc to arts, in order? to moiiify them, and for, which prirpafe it is common for our fex, in filch cafes, to fail into fits. I had fix my heart upon " going to a ball the ether night, with fome of my acquaintance, and tried every endearing method of obtaining my H. u'lbaiid's confer. t to it, but in t ain ; thus driven to my laft refource, . I fell imo fits. My Hafband was frightened, and fent for the Apo- thecary, and he advifed feeding for a Phyfkian. The Do£ lor came, and ordered me to be put to ; bed, and prefcribcd a . number of- hulking medi- cines for me to take, all which I fccretly ordered , my Maid to fling away, and fay I had tJ: en them. I kept my bed for a week, without appearing to be much better ; and, during that time, I per- ceived in the news- paper, which' my Hufband takes in, and brought me every day to a mule me, an advertifcmcr. t of a maiked . ball, which • was to be held atMargate on the nth of this month. This ftruc'k me immediately, and I . relolved to aft the Dctt. r, if going to Margate, and bathing there, Would not do me good, and llrengthen my nerves. Tlie Doctor came into i it immediately, and faid,' lie thought it would be ' of fervicc to me. I then defired him to tell my ' Hufband fo, and perfuade him to let ine go. He i did fo, and my Hufband came'prefently, aftcr- ' waids to me, and told me What tiie Do& or had ' advifed, and fsid, as this was- the molt leifure time of the wh.-. le year, he would order matters . io as to. go along with inc. This was a blow I did not cxptfl. My Hulband perceived it hy my countenance. I could hide it. no pthcrwiie than by falling into a Jit ; fioce which I have j insinuated to him, that i was afraid his going with me might be prejudicial to liis bulincls, ' and that it Would bfUbetter to let me go alone. Bur he perfills in bis reiHntibn of attending me there, and I mtiit have the mortification of go- ing to Margate, where there is to be a mafked ball, to which I know. my Hulband_ will no? . permit mc to go. There is. no jgtradting; wc? are tOjfot out to- morrow m iming, and iny dif- appohntuient is fo great, that I flwil. i burft witlj • vexation, didvi sot iind a vent tor it, by giving you an amount of ray ihtolersjSjg hwd( hip « . ' BOHOTH- VTape. To the P a 1 Ji T E R. S I R. MANY of your Correfpondents, who juftly inveigh againft the luxury and dillipation which too much prevail over cliofc who are in a more cicvateti Ration, do not confider that tlxefe crimes, though far irom the venial, do not fo much tend to the prejudice of the community, as thole more ferious and flagrant ills, which are now, alas! too common; I mean that pitiful ambition, which 11 irs up the . common people to ape their fuperiors, and that woeful extrava- gance, which cntaiis ruifery on many families, and therefore too much affefts the common- wealth. What led me to the above reflation was, a ! circumftance that happened lately. at Ranclagh ; it is not inferred with a view of doing any pre- judice to the hero of my tale, but from a more friendly motive, which is to let him fee bis fitu- ation in inch colours, as may induce him to confider with more attention the Philofopher's : maxim, Know ihjftlf. The flory is this: A Hofier, who / hall be ' namelefs, not ( in hundred miles froxi Baud- Jireet, , fting with remorie, tbat the malicious fates ; fhould confine bis foul to the narrow limits of a ; warehotife ; he, who by nature was formed to; fhine with fplendor in fuperior circles, mult give way to the calls of ambition, and appear at limietagh with his ( word, bag", and embroider- 1 ed . habiliments, and there Unit with all theim- j portartcC of a Nabob.

And now. Mr. Printer, how' mi- Gentleman found hiaifelf affcctcd, I fhall not undertake to determine ; bu: i hope this adventure will teach him - and others by his example ( for jeitx < pum Jaciunt aliena ferieula cautum) to be contented ; in their proper fituation; or at leait, if they j mul'c sppvar at public places, to go in character, 1 and not to ape their superiors, in a manner fo perfcfUy ndiciiious; for they ' fliould confider, I thai, when in a bag, fword, and embroidery, j . their ntiution is imini. tely more cor. tcmpxiblc, , than wb. en, behind their re^ jtdtive counters, they are profiting by their CuUomers, and afiiii- ing their families.

Mr. Imgey oppofed this motion, as implying an ttn- realb. nahJe. diflrull of the Directors, who had declared, that the ftate of the Company's affairs admitted of fuch a dividend. Mr. Dempller faid, that as he lhould not probably be able to underftand the annual account, except the pa- pers on which it was grounded were likewife produced, he would not infill on that point : . But he enlarged on the malverfation of fom? of the Company's Servants, and the diilrefies of the inhabitants of Bengal, and declared that they proceeded, in a great meafure, from mif- government. He concluded with befeeching. the Direftpjs to e. fiablifh a more juft and equi- table fyHem.

Are To Trial of Burch W Martin, for Forgery, (' whofe Sentence is refpited,) than has before appeared, THE trial came on at the Old Bailey, on TVefday, Sept. 17, before Mr. Jultice Willes, and Mr, Jultiee Afhhurlt, of Edward Burch and Matthew Martin, for forging, . and • uttering^ knowing to be forged, a proer Writing, " dated in' 1762, purporting to Be the laft Will of Sir Andrew Chadwick, Knight. The'ihuict- ment contained four counts; lirft, for forging and publilhing; fecondly, for uttering and pub- lifhing, ^ knowing the faid Will to be forged; thirdly, for aiding and affifting in the forging the faid Will, Jo defraud Sarah Law, of Charter Place, in Lancaihire, widow, the heir at law of the faid-' Sir Andrew; and fourthly, for uttering and publifhiog the faid Will, with intent to de- fraud fuch perlcm as is heir at law to the faid Sir Andrew.— The l'rofecutor firft proved the pub- lifhingof the / aid Vyill by the prifoners, and that the'y al'fp had in their pofteffion at the time ot the" publication another pretended Will of the faid SitfAndrew, dated in 1764, which had been either fucreted or deitroyed by the prifoners, or onff'- Mrs. Brooks, Martin's lifter.—- The hand- writing of Sir. Andrew Chadwick, and of the witness to the Will, were fworn to by feveral witneflcs, and to be'forged, and it appears the fame w^ re written on red ltrokes, which had bee! n drawn, by a pencil or fome other inftru- ment.— A very confiderable Paper- maker de- pofed, thaTtlie" moulds of the paper were'not made till the yeai~ T7& 8; and that at the fooneft the paper could- not be in London till the eleventh of Maich in that, year ; but that he thought it 311 lift have been made'ihuch later from thepar'. ticular bluenefsj artddefcribed to' the'Co; irt the feveral-' marks by Which he, knew it to Be his pa- per. The Piofeeutor' then proved that the prifopgrs exp. edted a reward for the publication, and'. then- proved the'' defeent of the faid Sarah Law, and that iiie was heir at" la « r of the faid Sir Andrew.; here - refted the Prcfccu ji's caufe. ' -••••-., - The prifoners were ther. called upon for their evidences.' Martin relied upon Burch, who in the coy. fe of the trial examined the witnefles, and took nores with the greateil calmnefs and compofare. He infilled that the publication of the Will was without tbe thoughts of any gra- tuity or reiward, and that the title to the real ellates of Sir Andrew was not veiled in Sarah Law, hut in another perfon Ci the name ( jf Chadwick,- in'Ireland, wh'o< he pretended was defcended from ia brother of Sir Andrew. Mrs. Brooks was then examined, for the prifon- ers, who' Avore, that betwixt five and fix years ago, one Mrs. Luttrell, who lodged wjtn her,- and was kept by a Gep- tlbnan, leaving M.- s. Brooks'^ loggings in debt, left a bag of papers at Mrs. Brooks's then ficnie, in Mercer- flreet, Long- acre. That the looted into the bag of papers the next morning, and found the Will;, of the year 1762 and 1764.

That on her removing thither, ihe law the Wills of 1762 and 1764, and put them, with the other papers, into a book cale, where- they remained till- about a week before Qhrillmas kit, when foe took them out, and was looking at them upon thc table j Martin came in, and fhe told him of the ! faid Wills. . That', about three weeks after j Chriftmas, Martin and Burch came together to S her houfe, and tocc away with them the faid Wills ; but fome time before they were appre- hended, they delivered her back the Will of 1764 ; and that having been threatened in the beginning of Augui't laft, a few days before the prifoners ware apprehended,. to be profeeuted along witWfhem, ibe went home and burnt the bag of papers, but did nut recollect whether the Will of 1,764 WHS then in it or not.— On her crofs exgmiijatiftn lhj- faid ihe had been married tt) a Jeweller, and that now. fhe was kept by a Gentleman, by whom fhe had two children, and fire prevaricated much in the courfe of her evidence. The prifoner Burch then called feveral people to his ciiarafter, and others to prove the hand writing of the three jwitneffes and the tellator ; one of which witneffes, on his crofs examina- tion, fwore that Burch had received notes wit- aeffed by Martjn, to the amount of 4.000I. from the Chadwicks, the pretended heirs at law, which he fuggeited was in confideration of his . taking three journeys to Ireland, and making parches about their pedigree; but the Court thought fome other confideration was implied, as. the. Will in, 1762 was in favour cf the Lady Chadwick, and that in 1764, in favour of the Cliadwicks who had . given the notes. A witnefs from Ireland was then called, who produced and fwore to copies of feveral Tri. 1i re- gifters, to fhew, a title in the Chadwick family; which copies, from the extraordinary nature cf Ihem, the Court thought proper to detain, that the Profecutors might take fuch fteps on that account as they thought proper. One of thefe Irilh Regifters made Sir Andrew to be born in the year 1670, but. it was foon refuted by the produdtion of his family Bible, whereby it ap- peared by Sir Andrew's own hand writing, he was only born in the. year 16S5. The prifoner Martin was advifed by hi? Council not to call any perfon to his character. Mr. Juftice Willes then fum'moned up the aviSor.' ce, in a very judicious manner,, and the jury withdrew for about half an hour, and then brought in their verdidt , th? t both the prifoners were guilty of tittering and publishing the Willi knowing the fame to be forged-, with intent to defraud Sarah Law, the heir at , law of the faid Sir Andrew. On which tf: e verdift was. recordr ed upon the fecond and laft counts. The trial 1 ailed from half. paft nine in the morning till or. e. the next morning ; t and . in the caurfe. of the trial a great buffie was ralfed by the forged Will. being left for upwards of an hour. AH the books and papers upon the table were Searched j tlie Cannfeis briefs, the papers before' the' judges, but no Will was fotmd. The matter grew then very feriotisj for had the Will been lbft, the prifoners muft have been acquitted.!

My mis- YorMife is', t5 » iit i'nave not my papers with me, vvhich- rvpald . Save eii& bled hie to give you a WeYuIT and . fa'tisfadtory account; but, how ever, i flatter rffyfelf, I fhiril be able to trace out wh. at. is more effential - arid material to the • parpbie." '' The Manna ' tVee, crimttioi- Jy called Omits by the Botanifts, is a kirrd of afti tree, and is to be found under fWe name of' tWnxinus Ornus, in LTiSneus's Sp. Plant: I fhall^ fry but very little concerning the b& tantc- defcription of this tree, becaufe ; lt ' has' beoh given by all the Writers: and I ffegll' oflly obfem, that this kind of fraxinus' h vety eafily dlftiirguifhed from the common fraxinus, f iv- e fraxi/ ius txceifror, by the feWc's, which are round at' the top, fubrot'unda integerrimk. This tree Very feldoln • grows to a convertible height, nor docs it acquire a confi- det& ile bulk j in general it is from ten to twenty feet high, t'fte'l- rilflk is commonly of five or fix iffcfces in " diameter, and the branches are pretty numerous, and irregularly fprcad: Theie di- rnenfibns, ' however, vary, if thefc trees are not croudcd together, and have more liberty of growth. The Manna tree is common, not only in Calabria and Sicily, but alfo 011 the famous mountain Garganus, fituated near the old town cfSypontum upon the Adriatic; and is men ticmcd even by Horace as an inhabitant of that mountain, Aut Aqnilomhus querceta Gargani laborant Aut fo/ iis • viduantur Orni. In all the woods near Naples the Manna tree is to be found very often ; but, for want of culti- vation, it never produces any Manna, and is ra- ther a fhrub than a tree. The manner in which the Manna is obtained from the Ornus, though very fimple, has been yet very much mifunder- ftood by all thofe who travelled in the kingdom ofNaplcs; and among other things they fecm to agree, that the- befl and purefl Manna is ob- tained from jtht leaves of the tree; but this, I believe, is ail opinion taken from the dodlrine of the antienJS, and received as an inconteftable obfervatioh, without conlulting nature. I never faw fuch a kind, ana all thofe who are employed in the gathering of the Manna know of none that comes from the leaves. The Manna is ge- nerally of two kinds; not on account ofthe in- trinfic quality of them being different, but only becaiife they are got in a different manner. In order to have the Manna, thofe who have the iSanagement of the woods of the Orni in the month of July and Auguft, when the weather is very dry and warm, make an oblong incifion, and take off from the bark of the tree about three inches in length and two in breadth ; they leave the wound open, and by degrees the Manna runs out, and is almoll fuddenly thickened to its proper confiftence, and is found adhering to the bark of the tree. This Manna, which is colledted in bafkets, and goes under the name of Manna GrafJ'a, is put in a dry place, bccawfe moiit and wet places will foon difiolvc it again. This firft kind is often in large ir egular pieces pf a brownifti colour, and frequently is full of duft and other imparities. But when the people want to have a very fine Manna, they apply to the incifion of the bark, thin ftraw, to frriall bks of fhrubs, fo that the Manna, in . co. ming out, runs upon thofe bodies, and is colfddted in a fort of regular tubes, which give it the'- haiue of Manna in eanmli, that is, Manna in t'jfces: TftW fecond kind is more efteemed, and always pfe^ ferred to the Other, becaufe it is free arid cicsr, There is, indeed, a third tand ofManna, i^ hlpiT is not commonly to be met_ with, and: which I have feen after I left Calabria: It is very White! likefugar; but as it is rather for curioffty than for ufe, I fhall fay no more of it. The two fort! of Manna already mentioned, undergcr'n^ ltindoF preparation w'hatfover, before they are exportedt ibmetimes they are finer, particularly the Mamii GraJJ'a, and fometimes very dirty and full of impu- rities ; but theNeapolitans have no intereftiaaciulf terating the Manna, becaufe they alwayshave i great deal more than what they generally ex; port; and if Manna is kept in tire magazines, ii receives often very great hurt by the foythern winds, fo common in our part of the worlds The changes of the weather produce a fudden alteration in the time that the Manna is tO; be gathered ; and, for this reafon,- when, the fam- mer is rainy, the Manna is always very fcarce and very bad. With regard to the ufe we make of Manna in the pradtice of phyfic, I believe it is of v: ry little ' confequence, for it cannot be employed alone as a cathartic, becaufe you mult give a ' confiderable dofe in order to obtain a tolerable operation : It is commonly prefcribed for chil- dren, who foonet take it bccaufeit- is fweet, and fometimes is given in colds and coughs. Thfc generality of the Phyficians at Naples often, give Manna and Salts to keep the body open in . the beginning of many fevers, in which there is k foulnefs of the irmee < nx. We dcr not give any preference to the Manna in any particular cafq, and rather confider it as an article of trade " than, a very ufeful medicine. . After this fhort account of the Manna, ac- cording to my promife I fhall give you a little of fhe hiftory of the Tarantula, becaufe I have had an opportunity of examining the eftedts of this animal, in the Province of Taranto, where it is found'in great abundance; but I am afraid I fhall have nothing more to fay, than that ths lur- prifmgeure of the bite of the Tarantula, by mu- fic, has not the leait truth in it, and that it is only an invention of the people, who want to get a little money by dancing, when they fay the Tarantifm begins. I make no doubt, but fome- times the heat of the climate contributes vei- y much to warm their imagination, and to throw them into a delirium, which may be, in fome meafure, cured by mitfic ; but fevetal experi- ments haye been tried - with the Tarantula; and neither men nor animals, after tbe bite, have had any other complaint, but a very trifling inflam- mation upon the part, like thofe produced by the bite of a fcorpion, which go off by them- felves, without any danger at all. In Sicily, where the fummer is ftill warmer than in any part of the kingdom of Naples, ths Tarantula is never dangerous, and muiic is never employed for the curc of the pretended Tarantifm. It is, no doubt, very extraordinary, that a man ot fenfe, and aPhyfician of great learning, asBag- livi, fhould have been fatisficd with the account of this diforder; and that, inftcad of examining the fadf by experiments, he fliould rather have tried to explain it; but even Philofophers like very much to meet with wonderful and extraor- dinary things, aiid though they are againft all reafon, ftill they want them to be true, and en- deavour to find out the caufe of them. Every year this furprifing diforder lofes graund, and .1 am perfuaded, that, in a very little while, it will entirely lofe its credit. The Neapolitan Phyficians all look upon the Tarantula in the fame light, particularly after the ingenious book publifhed on this fubjedt by the learned fir. Se- rao, who by various experiments has proved, that Sept. 25— 27. the bite of the Tarantula never produced any badeftedts, and that mufic never had any thing to do. with it. The natural hiftory and dcfciip- tion of: this ipidtijs fo well known,- that- I thin£ it quite unneceffary to enter into any farther particulars " relating to it. I hope I fhall be able to fend you, in a feiv m. otfclts, fo'fne of ray qbfervations upon Mount -^ E'ttia, and feveral cyriou, s things concerning the nat'iifjil / hifjtory both of Sicily and Calabria. ... l am, in the mean time, ...

As foon as their Majelties appeared a fignal was given, and the royal ftandard was immediately hoiited at the gallery ereded on purpofe for their Majefties and their attendants. His Majefty and the Lords in wait- ing went on board the Grafton, and on their return another fignal was given, on which the yachts lying oif the dock in a line, head and item, with a twenty- fix gun frigate in the mid- dle, with all hands aloft, were immediately full drelled in all their colours, which made a moft pleafing fight ; and a little before three o'clock the Grafton was launched. Two bands of Mu- ficians wcre on board the Grafton, one at cach end, and bands of mufic played in boats on the river all the time ol the launch, which was a very fine one. When Ihe went off the flips there were a great number of people in her. Their Maj- fties were faluted leveral times from the veffe's, and immediately after the launch fet out for London, being fainted by the guns in the Dock- yard at their entrance and at their depar- ture. There was an amazing concotvrfe of people both on the River and in the Dock- yard:, and the whole made a very pleaiing appearance1. The above ihip is ordered to be rigged and fitted out for fea.

Irjftead of encouraging my Depofition, you lelfen my credit with the Public; and the principal thing the Public doubts of is, " Whether I w as, or. was not concerned in the late fire at Porcf- mouth?" In anfwer to that, my Lord, 1 beg leave to obferve, that if I was not guilty of that crime, what occafion had I to apply to the Lord Mayor, for his Majeliy's pardon, which I did laft July 25th, and was not confined here till Auguft the . lit, fo confequently I was at liberty when I made the above application. If I am an Impof- tor, bring me to juflice, and let me fuffer my de- feits. What is the reafon that you negled the affair at Portfmouth, 1 cannpt eafily conceive. But I know you are afraid that it will be the pre- lude to more important difcovcries. My Lord, it has been reported, " that I charge fome of our Nobility with being accellary toPortfmoiirhfire." This yoii know, my Lord, is falfe. What I charge fome of our. Englifti Nobility with, is of a dif- ferent nature. I only charge Earl with har- bouring , after the fire happened. The other Nobleman I have mentioned. I will yet ftand to, and prove their receiving money from the French, and efpecially for the late Conven tion. I have diredly charged Lord both in a public and private letter. If thefe Gentle- men are confcious of their own innocency, why do they iliffer me to fay thefe things without aking any trouble, either to clear themfelves, or bring me to jufticc ? " It now may be proper to mention Dudley to your L<? r< lfhip. It is evident, that after you had been in poffeflion of my Depofition a fortnight, this Upftart. declaredjiimfelf a party concerned in the above fire ; you had him examined— you found he was likely to produce no proofs of his affertions, and coofcquently when the Public was deceived in their expectations from him, they would Iriok upon me in the fame light.

The day before the late Lord'Mayor ( Mr. Alderman Beckford) called a Common- Hall, tp report his Majefty's Anfwer to the Refoon- . ftrance, Mr. Crolby came to Fiihinongers'Hajl to folicit a Stewardftlip for a friend of his iji Norfolk. As the Court of Afliftants were then fitting, he was Ihewn into a private room, and by his defire I was immediately informed he was wait- ing upon my coming out; and after he had told me ihe purpofe of his errand, he alked nfy opinion about the " bufinefs of the Rir. ion- ftrance." My declaration was uniform with what I have conftantly avowed, " That I dis- approved the language of it, and thought it com- plained of matters as public wrongs which only exifted in a private capacity." His oble'rvaticn was, " He could not tell what thefe people meant lo be at, not he, wilh their Remonltrances and them, he fuppofed they meant to overthrow the Condi- tion, and therefore muft be oppofed." You, Gentlemen, will eafily guefs my ' fur- prize when J found the very next day he went upon the Huftings, and in the ftrongeft terms declared his approbation of the wifole proceed- ing. Iam, your moft obedient humble Servant, College- hill, Sept. 26, 17 71. J. K1R K M A N. To Meft'. Dep.

Yefterday a Committee of Merchants, deputed by the Corporation of Dublin, waited on the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and prefented the following Refolutions, as a teftimony of their gratitude for his condud and pcrfcverance in the caufe of Liberty ; which will ferve to foew the fenfe that City has of his Lordlhip, as a Ma- gilirate and Patriot. At the Guildhall, on the t^ thofju'y, 1771, being public Quarter- day of the Guild of Merchants, Dublin, the following.: Refolutiahs were agreed to.

One of the twelve City Companies have or- dered medals' for the life of their body on pub- lic occafions at Guildhall; and we hear that fo excellent an example will be generally followed, to prevent the poflibitity of any rabble ever pnffing'their refoiutions on the world as the re- folution of the London Livery. On Wednefday the Committee of City Lands appointed Mr. Charles Rivington, one of the Common- Council of Alderfgate ward, Printer to the city of London, in the room of the late Mr. Deputy Kent.

Yefterday morning an exprefs arrived from Holland, laid to contain fomc important dif- patches brought over land from Bengal. On Tuefday was entered at the Cuftom- houfe between fix and feven hundred thoufand pound weight of butter, from Ireland, and yefterday the Cheefemongers raifed the price of that commo- dity a halfpenny per pound. They write from Edinburgh that there was a very great fliew of black cattle on Tuefday ie'n- night, at Falkirk Tryft, but almoft the whole were drove off unfold, there being few buyers, which is a very extraordinary circumltance, considering there is great plenty cf eddage ai- moft over the whole kingdom, occafioncd by the fcafonable rains in Auguft. On Wednefday night there was a diftttrbance at Covent- garden Theatre, owing to a change in the entertainment. Midas had been adver- tised, but Mr. Shuter, who plays the charter, having fprained his. ancle, the Managers were obliged to give another Farce, and by hand bills informed the company on what occaff m the al- teration was made. Notwithftanding this in- telligence, the galleries infilled upon Midas, and not only biffed, but pelted thofe who at- tempted to open Thomas and Sally ( the fublli- tuted Farce) with much vehemence. Mr. Mat- tocks and Mr. Younger,, the Prompter, in vain addreffed them ; and Mr. Eenfley intreated per- miffion to. be heard, with an equal degree of ill fuceefs. At length the pit and boxes, fupport- irrg the Attors, defired Mr. Mattocks to go through with his part in any manner; he accord- ingly got through the firft fong ; and on Mrs. Mattocks's appearance alone in the fecond fcene, foine fellows th- ew apples at her. This roufed the genera] indignation, and many of the party who cailid for Midas, afhamed themfelves of the outrage offered to the unoffending Performers, changed fides, and delired that Thomas and Sally might begin again. This being complied with, peace wus reiloied, and no further inter- taction happ- ncd.. ' s EVENING POST, And A few days ago a than genteel appearance went to an Upholfterer's in this City, and or- dered him to furr. ifh a houfe that he had juft taken, which was complied with; but when the latter went to demand his money, the purchafer Was not to be feen, but he found fome other perfons in pofl'effion of the goods. Yefterday the Upholfterer fent fome people to fetch the faid fqroiture away, when they were aflauked ' ana beaten by three men employed in packing them up, in order to carry them off the premiffes. The Upholfterer's men, Sec. however, at length fe. cured the above perfons, and carried them to the Manfion- houfe; from whence they were Sept. 25— 27. lent to the Poultry Compter for examination, j regiments of foot. >—.—•. .. . ^ , • ., r r 1 r . , l\ / I - " NT - 1J C^..

The attack continued for about four hours; and the Ruffians brought off theirwounded to Bu- chareft. Prince Repnin has drawn up an account of the affair, which lie has fent off to Peterlburgh, after which he fell lick at Buchareft. As to the Crimea, there remains only one fortrefs in the hands CJfthe Turks, which is that of Balaclava. The Ruffians are in poffeffton of the reft of that country ; but the want of pro- vifions will not permit them long to enjoy their conqueft. Bajlia, in Corjica, Sept. _ 1. Though meafures had been taken, which it was hoped would have put a flop to tiie outrages of the Banditti, they feem rather to increafc. A convoy, ef- corted by twelve Grenadiers, from Corte to Niolo, was lately fet upon, and feized by them, after killing three of the Grenadiers, and the reft with difficulty made their efcape. Hague, Sept. 6. The fick. ncfs among the horned cattle continues to rage in the United Provinces. A lift is publifhed of the number of thofe which have been feized with it in the Province of Holland alone, by which it appears that the dead amount to 171,780, and that thofe which recovered amount to 65,536. Copenhagen, Sept. 8. The Courts of Vienna and Peterlburgh have caufed a great number of the horfes, which were fold from the King's ftud in the middle of laft month, to be bought up for their ufe. The news from the feveral provinces of this kingdom announce that the harveft has been very plentiful. Paris, Sept. 20. An arret of Council appeared the 1 ith of this month, which ordains, that all books brought from any foreign country into France, whether in the French or Latin lan- guages, bound or unbound, old or new, fhall pay, on their entry into the kingdom, fixty fivres for every quintal. An Abbe, overcome with a fit of melan- choly, lately threw himfelf from the Pont- nenf, into the river, and was drowned, after having given all his money to the poor, and begged ol them in return to pray for him. LONDON. It was fettled at the Council held on Wednes- day, that the Parliament fhould be farther pro- rogued to Tuefday the 26th of November next; but it is thought they will not fit for the difpatch of bufinefs till after Chrillmas. Both Houfes ot Convocation are further to be prorogued to Wednefday the 27th of November next; ccmmiffiov?-. for that purpofe are pre- paring for the Archbifhops of Canterbury and Yorn. A writ will be ifnied to- morrow for the elec- tion of a Mefnoet for the Borough of Brackley, in NorthampLr. nfhire, in the room of Robert Wood, Elq; deceafed. It is now -_ . r" ain that the Stamp- Office wi) i* j be removed to Ely- houfc in Holborn : A Bill will be brought the _ Parliament, ear]_ next Seffion, to enable Government to purchafe it for that purpofe. Orders are given for lining the doors and window frames of the apartments in the Queen's Palace, where their Majelties intend entirely to reiide, as foon as the necefiary preparations can be made, for the winter feafon. The expence of entertaining their Majefties, and their attendants at Deptford yelterday ( ex- clufive of the buildings) amounted to 1750I. and upwards, Yefterday a Patent paffed the Great Seal con- taining a Confirmation of a Grant to Sir Charles Hardy, of the Office of Mailer and Governor of the Royal Hofpital at Greenwich. Alfo a Patent, containing a Grant to Sir George Bridges Rodney, of the Office of Rear Admiral of Great Britain and of the Admiralty thereof, with allowance of fixteen fhillings a day, and alfo an allowance of twelve men at ten lhilling each per month, together with all privi- leges, profits, and advantages belonging to the faid Office. ' Tomorrow being the day for the Sheriffs eledt to be fvvorn into their Office, Mr. Alderman Wilkes and Frederick Bull, Efq; will walk in proceffion from the Manfion- houfe, attended by the Rev. Dr. Wilfon, and the Court of Affiftants of the Joiners and Salters Companies, with mufic playing before them, to Guildhall, where the two former will be lworn in before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor; they will then proceed to Church, and afterwards to the eledtion of a Lord Mayor. Mr. Wilkes and Mr. Bull have been entirely neuter as to the eledtion for the Lord Mayor ; and we are told they have not folicited a fingle vote for any particular perfon, confcious that, as Sheriffs, they have no right to interfere in eledlion matters in any manner, but by a punc- tual difcharge of the duties of their Office. Yelterday, at a Coffee- houfe, at the Royal Exchange, a Gentleman agreed to give another one hundred guineas, to reccive one guinea every week for three years, or to ceafe paying it when Mr. Wilkes is chofen Lord Mayor. Yeftcrday at the final doling the books of the Poll forBridge- Mafter, the numbers were, for Mr. Borwick 1503, and for Mr. Townfend 1307.-— And this day a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, to receive the report of the Sheriffs, of the numbers polled for each Candidate at the above' eledtion ; after which the Sheriffs declared Mr. Borwick duly eledled. The employment to which Mr. Deputy Ellis was on Thurfday eledted, inthe room ofThomas Pattle, Efq; is eftimated at an annual 300I. and gives but very little trouble to the pcfleffor. The Bridge Maftcrfhip, decided yellerday in favour of Mr. Borwick, is valued at not half that fum, but a conftant refidence is necefiary in the Officer. The Hamburgh Merchant, Hutchinfon, from Hamburgh for London, is on fhore, in the mouth of Colchefter River, with eight feet water in her hold. Laft Friday evening the wife of aTradefman, in May's- buildings, St. Martin's- lane, going to- bed, as ufual, in good health, fell aflcep, in which file continued till Tucfday morning, although feveral methods were taken but without effedtto wake her, till fhe awoke ofherfejf, got up, and went about her haufhold bufinefs ; and it was with difficulty fhe could be perfuaded it was any other day than Saturday. Yefterday, during the time of the man of war being launched, a boat with fix pafl'engers v\ as overlet, by a Gravefend boat runr^ rg foul of her, when two women were drowned, and the remain, er were faved with very great difficulty..

It is a F « dl, well known, that the* DAL- ME is adminiftered by many of the Faculty, in Complicated Cafes, where every Method, in common Practice, has proved ineffectual. The Introduction of it into this Country has been the providential Means of preferving the Lives of Thoufands. Its great Powers in reftoring and fortifying the Stomach, and expelling bilious - Matter, and its cordial, attenuating, and an- tifeptic Qualities,- may eafjly account for its ErSeajcy in the Gout, Scurvy, Rhcumatifm, Jaundice, Agues, and particularly all thofe cruel D'. forders that attack the Stomach and Bowels — which, though different in Ap- pearance, are generally derived from the fame Source. With the fame Confidence we after:, that this Medi- cine has not Its, equal in all Female Diforders ; or as a Rtfiorati- ve in Gtnerir! j and as a Preventative of tW ill Confequences arifing from contagious Air. * To prevent the pernicious ConfeOuences cf a fpuiious Sort being obauded un the Public, the Bottles are each figned by Mi .
