Praaer.—About six weeks since, a most daring act of piraes r
and murder was supposed to have been committed in Mr. Par.
t
leer's turf-boat, which was lying at anchor *tear Abanish, in this
river. Tuesday, in consequence of private information, a search
was made on one of the islands convenient to where the Tessa
lay at the time of the piracy, when the three unfortunate men . •
who composed the crew of said boat, were discovered in a pit,
with their throats cut from ear to ear, their heads and hall a
much lacerated, and a large rope bracing them together. I%e
anchor tables, and parts of the rigging, were found secreted in
another part of the island.

Saturday forenoon, as the widow of an Officer was
i t'),
going to pay a morning visit in Duke-street, Bath, a 7 ,
fallow ran afterher down the North Parade—on her
. ,
turning round, he immediately drew a dagger, and, i #' 0,
horrid to relate, stabbed her t—providentially, the t
instrument corning in contact with the whalebone of
her stays, she was but slightly wounded in the side.
The villain instantly made off.
Thursday night, the 14th inst. a murder was com-
mitted at Bere Regis, Dorsetshire, on the body of $
Priscilla Bown, who was called out of her house at
ten o'clock, and at eleven was found suffocated in a
back lane near the house. The deceased has left ' '
two children, a boy seven, and a girl four years old ;
and it is supposed that she was in a state of preg-
nancy by a man named John Gallop, who is strongly
suspected of having committed the horrid deed. He V • '
was seen lurking about the premises in the evening, . L
•
and he has been since apprehended, and committed.
Bosse/Litres WEALTH.--It is a matter of specn- .• 1
lation in some of our daily prints, by what means 1
Bonaparte has acquired the immense riches which it is I
said he has lately become possessed of. The circum-
stance of a draft for a large amount, signed Nam-
POLEON, having been presented and duly honoured • 1 i
at a certain eminent Banker's, has given rise to the it
idea, (not at all unlikely) that he had employed an - $,.
agent to buy Lottery Tickets ; and when it is recol-
lected that MARTIN and Co. of 8, Corahill, and 120, t
Oxford• street, lately sold Prizes of 40,0001.20,0001. t I• •
10,0001. &c. it is not improbable that he made his
purchases at their Offices, where they hope to sell
part of the Three 20,0001. Prizes in the Lottery to
commence 4th of JUNE.
An Old Jest transposed.—A Gentleman who had • I
ii
...
been reading the List of Capitals sold by Brut last
Lottery, observed, that " Edinburgh had a Share of • ; Vi•
both his Thirty Thousands, and Canterbury had Two
Shares also."—" Not also," replied a friend, " but hie- t
wise!" Similar wisdom, or rather good luck, was dis- 0 ti •;* I .
played at Thetford, where two clubs, held at diffe-
rent inns, had Shares of his £30,000 and £'20,000 r • ;
Prizes, in two following Lotteries, avid both were •
shared by SIMI. It appears by the Scheme of the , •
new Lottery, that he has greater scope for his. talent
in selling Capitals, and he will no doubt have to an- f . '
nounce (ax usual ) that the major part have been sold I
by him.
