abfent, and had taken away great part of her clothes.
They communicated the citeumflance to their gover-

Hairs window, about three o'clock in the morning,
and that her lover, fuppofed to be an Officer in the
Lincoln Militia, a gentleman about 4o years of age,
*as waiting to receive her in a tingle houfe chant,
which he had hired at Hull, and arrived with it jolt
before the made her efcape from the houfe. As foon
as he had got away, he drove to Hull, in hopes of
getting a paffage in a %TIN that was about to fail for
London. On their arrival there they found the vel-
fel had jolt failed • they procured an open boat .and
followed her ; when they came up with her the Cap-
tain refilled to take them on hoard., as he fupproed
it was to anfwer fun: improper purpofe, by their
being in urgent at loch an early hour, and without
previcully having taken their pafiltge. They were then
obliged to crofs the river Humber, in the open boar,
to Barton, where they arrived abort one o'clock at
noon, in a very faint condition, having been on the
'water from between four and five o'clock in the
morning, without any refrclhment. They took the

they arrived on Saturday morning. Mifs E.'s father
and uncle followed them to London, but did not
arrive till Saturday evening, and traced them to an
inn in Gracechutch-ltreet, from which place they
have not been able to gain the 'call information of
them.--Islifs E.'s acquaintance with her lover was
unknown to her friends; but it has been difcovered
fence her flight, that they correfponded by letters, by
means of fome confidential perfon.

On Friday evening, a young Lady, very gtnteely
dreffed, about fifteen years of age, and a Gentleman
about thirty, went by the Toirnham-green Coach
from London, to the Roebuck Inn, at Turnham-
green, where they ordered fupper. From their man-
ners, and the delcription of a runaway pair, whom
the landlord had feu) advertifed, he had a Itrong fut.
pinion his cudomers were the perfons. On Saturday
morning, after they had breakfalled, Mr. Linguard,
the landlord, communicated to them his fufpicions,
but they affured him be was millaken. This, how.
ever, did not fatisfy him, and he it:llied on their going
with him. to Bow•lireet, in one of the Rages. They
underwent a private examination before Mr. GRA-
HAM, the refult If which was, we underttand, that the
landlord had been mistaken as to their being thole he
had feen advertifed, but the young lady proved to be
the one who had lately doped from her friends near
Cr(•ydon. The Magifirate, in confequence ordered
her to be detained till he wrote to the young Lady's
friends, and received an anfwer.

in company of too others, with exciting a riot in
Duck-iane, Wellmintler, and unlawfully pulling
down fume old bottles there, the property of Mr.
Dorpford, on Tuefd.ty night lull. Part of them
were committel as the principals, and others bound

linfoand in Inch a Clucking manner, while lie fkpt,
that he neither expals or wifhes to furtive the ope-
ration.

On Sunday fe'nnight a moll atr'cions attempt at
murder was made at Fakenham, Norfolk, under the
following circumflances :—About one o'clock ;a the
morning, lome villain, whole perfon and motives re-
main as yet unknown, broke into the houfe inhabited
by the Mifs Bales, two refpeaable young tidies of
the above place ; and. enteting their chamber, drew
the curtains of the bed in which they were. One of
'the ladies, awakened by the noife of his entrance, de-
manded of him his Wind's, and concluding that his
purpofe was to nob the hytt:e, with much prefence of
mind, defired him to take what he wanted, and go
away. To this, however, the man made no reply, but
with a large flick began to deal his blows in In dread-
ful a manlier at the other lady, that her filler, in the
utmoa alarm, fprang from the bed, and endeavour-
ed, by feizing hald of the villain's arn:, to prevent
the perpetration of his murderous defgts ;—upon

carried her down flails, where, in the fame brutal'
way, he beat and wounded Ifer :tiro, until the remain-
ed ienlelefs or. the floor, and then made his &ape
from the bottle. The unhappy objets of the vil-
lain's cruelty were, feseral hnnrs afterwards, found
by fome of the neighbours (who accidentally vaffing
by, were led, from the appearance of the bottle, to
[tripe& fomething amifs had occurred) in a molt mi.
ferable Bate. Surgical Alliance, however, was in.
fiantly procured, and through great fkill and atten-
tion, thong hopes are entertained of their recovery.
Great pains have been taken in the invefligation of
this horrid affair, but hitherto without the defued
effeti, of Oncoming any clue to th; tietctlica of the
