The wild goose Chace, or rather Voyage, of the
young woman who sailed, for Petersburgh, in order
to arrive at Peterborough, is very similar to a cir-
cumstance ihat occurred many years ago, but never
Made known :—A poor woman, tvho had lost her
husband, wished to send a boy to his uncle, at I+al.
motithf and humbly, begged Pen tletnan, of AVllOStt
humanity She had heard, to proture r passage for
him. He happened to be a 'West India Captain,
and concluding she wished the child to be landed at
Falinotiiht in Jamaica, Whithei he was .bound hints
self, he benevolently took him on board. Oti his ar-
rival he'produced a letter; but no such person as the
MICIC, to whom it was addressed; could be found.--
A Gentleman was on the Island, howeVer; who was
taken with the appearance. of the lad; and offered to
provide for him about his house ; but the Captain,
who could not conscientiously dispose rpi . him,
without the consent of his mother, only agreed to
the proposal, on condition that the boy's ptissage
should be paid fur home, if, when he informed het'
of the circumstance; she made ad objeftion to his
stay. The woman, ho!vever, was satisfied; and
sent her second son to li'almonth in Cornwall; It
is a singular faEt, that both these Protegies arc now
rich men, from the bequests of their respective Pro.
teCtots; and reside in one of the Most fashionable
squares of Londoit; nery near each other.

orders, it is imagined the boat gnt athwart the
hauser of some man of war in the Dock, by which
accident he fell overboard and was drowned. His
corpse has not yet been found.
It was formerly mentioned, that two men were
taken from on board the arnaburO, flow rr, from
London, on suspicion of having forged notes of the
British Linen Company : their names are Mackay
and Pepper. After having undergone examinations,.
they were, on Tuesday se'noight, carried to Edin.
burgh by Mr. Williamson. A few days ago, -a
woman from Fife, offering a forged five pound note
of the British Liner--Company, at Dundee, was
stopped and examined ; she declared having found
that note, and another, in a pocket book, washed
ashore upon the beach, beyond ‘Voodhaven4; With-
in the pocket book was a letter, direfted to illarkay,
one of the persons committed.
On the night of Thursday the 16th instant, the
sloop Nancy, WILLIAM LYE!. L master, belong-
ing to Dundee, was, during a violent gide of wind,
run ashore near Holy Island, when the• ship went
to pieces. The master and 'crew. were ordittcp...
nately drowned, excepting one hpy. The mister
had been between 30 -and 40 years .employed in tte
coasting trade from that Port, and was-'well respen.

that the ship was wholly his own property, and not
