She gave the nailor § papers untold, which appears by what he has fince done, in paying his debts, and purchafing a hou'e and fhop to work in, to amount to 2001, and upwards ; gnd is told by the woman to apply to her if he wants more. It is remarkable thet this old piece of furniture is in memory to have pafizd through feveral fales with- : in 40 years, that none of the gold is of a later coinage than James II. and that it was in an opulent family in that neighboarhood intheyear 1715. PHILADELPHTA, Juy st .

A Pain in the Breaft awaked him at Three, and continued witkout Inter- miffion till about Nine in the Morning, when before he apprehended the Neceflity of a Phyfician, feized with & Fit, he juddenly expired. He was defcended of an honourable Family in this * City, and' had his Education at Cembridge, under the Tuition of Mr. Herring, af erwards the celebrared Arch Bithop of Canteréury Here he laid the folid Found- stion of his furure [mporcance. His early Accomplihments {oon after his Return, introduced him into His Majefty’s Council, and the fecond Seat in the Supreme Court of Judicature. In tae Yea' 1733, he took die fift Scat 0a the Bench; and having for twenty Years dilcharged that important Truft with the greatelt Applaule, his Majefty was pleafed to confer on him the Hopours of that dignifizd Station in which he dicd To do am:le Juflice to this eminent Charalter in fo Gbnira@ed 2 Coimipals, and on fo fudden and alarmiong ‘an Oceafion, is what the World will hardly expedt, or his diftnguithed Accompiifhnents, indead, permit. He enjoyed aquick Concepiion, 3 deep Penctration, a ciear fudgmens, and a recentive Memory. Thefe natural Talents heightened and improved by his Autainments in Literature, and an intimate Acquaintarce with Mankind, made him an agreeable and inftructive Compsnion t0 thofe who were honoured with his Con- ve:‘ation ; and qualified him to fill the molt important “iffices with uncommon Dignity and Luftre. tlis G nius provident, 2étive, lertile in Expedients, and cepable of averting or improving the moft unex | pected Occurrences, joined to a perfeét Knowledge and Efte m of our happy Conftirution, and a zeslous At- tachment of his Moj:{ty’s illuftrious Houle, rendered him a moft able and faithful Countellor to the Crown ; and to the Righ's and Liberties of the Pzople, a cordial and vnfhaken Friend. Ta the chief Scat of Juftice, he was for Capacity and Integrity equatied by tew.—excelled by none,— Patient in hearing, ready in diftinguithing, and in his Decifions found and impartial.——FHe gave luch univerfal Satis- fallion, that even the vanyuithed confefled the Juftice of the Sentence. To form him in fhort, a fhining Ornament of the Law. Nature and his own [nduftry had united their utmoft Efforts. b His Promotion to the Government at a Seafon the maft momentous to the Colonies,was fignally advancive of his Majelty’s Service, and the public Emolument.--- And by theConfidence thePeople repa'ed in his (uperior Abilities, they were induced to exert themiclves in the Common Caufe, with the greateft Vigour and Alacrity. Next Day at three Quarters paft 6, P. M. His Ma- Joffy't Skip the Winchefter, of 50 Guns, Capt.
