of age. During the fellival, the bride had made
too free with her shy's, which caufed her tongue
to take liberties not confißent with prudence on

tated with difguff at this fpecirnen of her conclua;
placed her upon the fre, to the no fmall terror of
the company prefent ; who, feeing her fituation,
refcued her from danger, and (he was carried to
bed by two of the bridemaids, being unable to
contend any longer with her helpmate, and he,
for thedfc4 time, reigned triumphant ; although,
it is fait', the underttands the pugilittic art as well

Si. —Being oti.shity lately, on board tbr Mao.
ntricsaf, in Torbay, at the hour ofparadeip the
morning, my eyt was never more gratifietithin
by teeing the marines under armsrtheir cloth-
jog fitting them fo.extrernely well, their arms and
.acenutruments being in the Mena Date of pia,
their hats extremely handforuk, and ornamented
with tads and fringe. On enquiry, I fountl every
ornament was furniffied by their own officers:
I hope the abilities and Attention of thofe officers
will not pars unnoticed by the. Lords of the Ad-
miralty, and fincerely hope their intrepidity and
vourage, fusee the commencement of the war, will
not go unrcwarded.—By calling the attention of
the public to this valuable corps; you Will confer
Ilan obligation on an Officer of Rank in the Nary.
