Nulli certa domus, Marrienti habitamus in Orbe, Quam brevior dire mortis apertavia eft ! : i X ; L--O - N..D QO N, Sept 12. Francis David Stirne, was tried Yefterday for the late Murder of Mr. Matthews, Surgeon. Ths prifo- ner was dreflzd in @ green damafk gawn, and appeared fcarcely 25 years ofage: He was brovght in guilty without the jury’s going out of court; and having fainted, requefted a coach, to be carried to_execution, which the court refufed. Upon this Stirne drank fome- thing out of & pint pot, and then making a bow went from the bar to Newgate. About 11 at night he died, and was 8 moft fhocking fpcétacle to behold in his sganics, and though he feemed in great part infenfible, yet, by the repeated convulfions, throws and diltortions, he muft evidently have felt as much, or more, than thofe he {trove to avoid. His friends, who were enemics to +he public, in preventing the lawful exccution of fo bafe a snurderer, were very forward in affiting him to poifon himiel] 5 for sn inch of folid cpium was found by him, €5 bave compleated his exit, if the firft attempt had failed. There were fome lines left behind, which it was fail they were of his own compcfing ; but they prove to be wrote for his ftudy by 8 German clergyman, who vifited him ; snd found S:irne to bea man of very bad princip'et, whereby his heart, mind and morals were corrupted to fuch a degree, that he disbelieved the refurre@ion, and, confequently, a future punifhment,and the divinity of the holy fcriptures. But alas! all the exhortations were utterly in vain and loft upon him. Notwith®tanding, his poiloning himfelf, his body will be carried to T'yburn, and hung up sccording to his fentence. September 18. Tue(day evening the corpfe of faid Stirne was conveyed from Surgeon’s Hall, and buried in a crefs road, and a ftake drove ‘through his body. When the furgeons opened his head, a large quantity of opium was dilcovered, which occafioned fuch a naufeous (mell that they could not praceed on wizh the diffe&tion. PHILADELPHIA, January 1. The Ship Molly, Capc. Sparks, bound to Jamaica from this Port, was taken and car:ied into Port Louis, by 3 Piivateer Sloop, lately commanded by Capain Fernandez, who fo barbaroufly murdered Captain Stiles of this Place, and feveral others, that fell into his Hands. This Mifcreant was killed the Day. before Cept. Sparks was taken, by a Shot,from = Letter of Marque he was in Chafe of. -Thé floop had a fmall prize (}chooncr in company, belonging to Jamaica. Extrait'of & bester-from -Lifbon, O&. 16. 1760: « When Capt. Kennedy left this place, being call’'d home by the Lords of the Admiralty to give him a better {hip; the fe@ory made him a prefent of a picce of pla‘e worth £. 200 fterling, for his fupprefling the e- nemy’s privaccess, and care of our trade during the time he was on this flation.” By Capt, Gardiner from Lifbon, we learn, that one of his Majefty’s 60 gun fhips. and Cept. Ellio,, in the Zolus; had bro’cin there 2 French fhip, laden with fuger, cotton, &c. And that a 5o gun fhip from the bay had retaken and carried in there two brigs, taken by a French privateer, of which therc were a number cruizing near that place. From St. Chriftophers we have Adyice, that his T Mijefty’s Ship Emerald lately fent in there a large Ship from Martinico for St. Euftatia ; and that our Cruizers “were daily fending in fome of the Enemy’s Vellels ; but that notwithRtanding they had a g:eat many Privateers t Ses. 2 From Pitt(burgh we learn, that all was quict there fourteen Diys ago, the Garrilon very healthy, and plenty of Provifions. ol From Quebec we hear, that opr Fiiends in that Quirter were all well about a Month ago, and wxll fupplisd with all the Neceflaries of life, NEW-YORK, Janury s. The feveral Independant Companies of Soldiers,lately arrived 'rom England, and quartered in New-Jerley, embaiked 1aft Week at Perth Amboy, in {mall Veflels, and were carried on board Tranfports lying at Sandy Hook, in order to proceed to South Caralina. Yefterday Capt. Groves wrrived here in a Schooner in 14 Days from South Carolina : He fays the Indians continue in their O/ #Way ; but that Major Thompfon has agsin thrown into For¢ PrincéGeorge, & large Supply of Provifions, and that there are near 2 Thoufand Men in and about that Fort. We hear that Capt. Jsuncey in a Letter of Maique ‘Sloop of this Port, has taken off Curacoa a large French Sloop from the Granades, valued at 30,000 Dollars. On Saturday Merning laft failed from the Hook, his Majefty’s Ship Dover, Capt. Pearfal, alfo feveral Cartel -Ships for France with Prifoners. B O § T O N, January19. Since our laft we have had extreme cold Weather, whereby our Harbour is almoft ill’d with Ice:—We have wi:hin this Time had feveral Alarms by the Cry of Fite'; which were foon extinguifhed, without any confiderable Damage occuring, wniil Tuefday Evening laft, when at about half ‘an Hour after Nine o’Clock a violent Fire broke out in"one of the Shops oppcfite the North Side of Faneuil HaH Market, cn Dock Square, which entirely confumed. all the Row of Wooden Buildings fiom the Stare occupied by the Hon. Thomas Hubbard, Efq; to the Swing Bridge : Thefe Buildings belonged to the Town, and were leafed to a Number of Tradefmen, fome of whom had their whole S:ock therein, moft of which was either confumed or loft : There were feveral {mall Scheoners in the Dock, but they received little Damage ; nor did the Fire procced to the North Side of the Dock ; on the contrary it com- municated itlelf to that flately Edifice, Faneuil Hall- Market, the whole of which was [oon intirely confum- ed, cxcepting the Brick Walls, which are left flanding ; the Fire then proceeded to a Number of Shops on the South Side of the Matket, and confumed them allo : The Wind rifing about this Time carried the Flakes of Firc over the Houfes towards King ftreet, and the Warehoufes and Siores on the Town ;fDock. and Long Whaif, wherein were the greatefl Qusntities of the rich- eft Merchandize in the Town: The Inhabitants having the Fire of laft Spring recent in their Minds, they were spprehenfive of a further Deftruttion, efpecially as the Tide was down, the Dock filled with Ice, and fome of the Pumps in the Ncighbourhood failing ; many People removed their Goods, [ome of which received Damage thereby ; The Severity of the Weather was fuch that many Perfons could fcarce ftandit; and the Water which ifflued from the Engines congealed into Particles of Ice before it fell :—Altho’ the Flames and Flakes of Fire fell on. many Houles and Stores, yet no Dwelling Houle was confumed ; one or two near the Market were confiderably damaged,— Never were Slates onHoufes dicovered to be of fo much Ad- vantage as atthat Time; for when great Flakes of Fire fell thereon, they immediately run cff without dcing any Mifchief The lofs of Faneuil Hall Market muft be great to this Town, as “it was a noble Building, efteemed one of the beft Pieces of Workmanthip here, and an Orna- ment to the Town: It was built near 20 Ycars sgo st the fole Expence of the late generous Peter Faoeuil, Efq; the capacious Hall which borethe Founder’s Name would contain above 1000 of the Inhabitants at a Meet ing + There were convenieat Apartments for the Offi- cers of the Town to tranfal their refpeétive Bufineffes therein ; befides two Offices st the Eaft End of the lower Floor, one of which was improved as a Naval Office, and the other as a Notary Publick’s : Theother Part was very commodicus for aMarket. TheRecords, Papers, &c. with fuch otherThings as could be removed, were moftly faved. There are nest 20 Tradefmen deprived of Shops by this Fire, which muft make it extremely difficult for them at this fevere Sealon ;. efpecially when it is con- fidered that many of thofe who loft their Shops in March laft, are not yet fupplied with proper Places to carry on their refpe&ive Bufinefles in. Extraft of a Letter from Albany, Fan. 10, 1761. — « A few Duys fince Mr. Morrilon (Csp:. Wai’s Clerk) arrived here by Land from M=j Rogers’s Party, whom he left well at Prefque [fle the fecond Day cf November Iaft, after they had returned from Pittfbarg: Four Diys afterwards Maior Rogers fet out for Detroit ; and that Capt.

There was 2 Veflel loft on Lake Erie, in 2 Storm, with 100 Barrels of Provifions ; the Crew end sbout 12 Barrels were faved ; which obliged Major Rogers to fend Capt.
