ing the 'Other, indicate a deep-lent, daring, and very cruel
atheism. They are us follow :

turn they joined the Espeiliti 111 l to flushing, aud, while nu
board, the Prosecutrix nursed the Captain's (Nes comb's)
wife, during her confinement ill I load-birth. About two
mouths ago they teturued to duck, at abetment, fur the //m-

the abuse. Early on Saturday mar g she left Deal by the
stage, mid arrived in theerening at the Goliku•Cruss, Char-
ing Cross. She, nut busied any Immo', in England,
took her place by the Liverpool coach, to proceed the fol-
ks ing mining to She slept at the las, nod was

before it got vld the stones, which was eery disagreeable, they
advised het to ir AM .11 a tits them, all they gut to theirrat place,

woman ut the door.
After the ht....owe and Lis companion had drunk their

some liquor, winch she tutored to. She put Inc boindk on

damertitis ueighbortrhoods in lamdon,- without !wire.: semi-
ble of it, or knowing where she was, or a single person iu

doing well. She said, in jolt:ills:atom of her rash act, that
she might as sell lose lire life as all tier money and clothes.
In this forlorn state, sit honest sailor took compassion upon
