they formed a Line-of-Battle, and hoisted French

The Audience was seized with another fit of rage

The late Lord PETRE, seen-13, annually ex.'.
pended five thousand pounds in charity, a pra&ice
that was riot distiOvered till after his Lordship's
death.` This Nobleman may fairly be numbered
with those benevolent few, who
" Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame."

It is said that WHEBLE, the late Talaw-chat/at.
ler of Kensington, left behind him property to the
amount of zoo,oool. This man certainly did riot
" hide his light under a bushel."

Saturday- afternoon, a poor distressed woman of
the name of Fletcher, in Thames _street hired
boat to cross the River to the Bank-side; Blacktriars,
in pursuit of her wandering husband ; failing in find.

near her own home; being again disappointed; she,
went to

boat to go to Vauxhall to look tbr him there, and'
not finding him, hired another boat to return home,;
when in an agony of despair shethrew herself iota.

sunk, before the Waterman was aware of her inten
