Yefterday a little after two o’clock, all the people on the Roysl Exchange were fuddenly alarmed by the sppearing ofa Cow at the fouth gate; and the confter- nation incresfed to fuch a degree, though the beaft did not run in upon ’change, thats prodigious huftie and buftie enfued ; lome loft their hats and wigs, {ome loft their fhoes ; others lay upon the ground in heaps of half dczens 2nd half fcores, with their limbs bruifed, &c. Whilit this ftrange hurly burly prevailed upon *change, the fuppoled, or made mad cow, turned into ’change alley, and made a furious pufh at the door of Jonathan’s which frighted not a little all the bulls, and the bears too : but they foon recovered, on hearing thag it was only a Cow, and that fhe was turn’d off anothtr way. During the alarm on the Exchange, 8 rumour of an Earthquake prevailed, and many threw themlelves flat on the ground, expeting to be (wallowed up, and not knowirg where to run tor fafety. The following Enigmatical Iuleription, engraved on a ' Marble irn Semator Volta's Conniry Seat. near Bologon in Italy, tranferibid from the Royal Magazine, is in Jerted at the Requeft of one of our Correfpondents. ZLIALZEZLIA CRISPIS, Neithar a man, nor a woman, nor an hermophradite, Nor a girl, nor a youth, nor an old woman, Neither a matron, s whore, nor & maid, But all them. She died Neither by hunger, nor by fteel, nor by poifon, But by sll of them. She lies Neither in the sir, nor in the water, not in the ground, But every where. ‘ LUCIUS . AGATHO PRISCIUS, Neither alover, nora hufbind, nor a friend, Nor in tears, por in joy, norin forrow, E c&ed this, which is Neither mound, nor pyramid, nor tomb, But all of them. But to whom he knows, and yet knows not. This is a tomb which has no body within, Thisis a body which has#io tomb without But the fame thing is both bedy snd tomb to itfelf. Tbe Misforiunes of the Stuart's Family for more than 300 Years. EW Kings have been more unhappy, and there is not in hiftory an example of a family that has been fo long untertunate. The fisft of his anceftors, Kings of Seotland, who bore the name of Fames, aftes being 18 years piiloner in England, was with his Queen affaflinat- ed by his fobje@s. Fames IL. his fon, wasin the 2gth year of his age killed in fighting againft the Engli/b. “Fames 111. was imprifoned by his own people, and afterwards killed in batile by the rebels. Fames 1V, perifhed in battle which he loft. Mary Stuart, his graod daughter, drove from her throne, a fugitive in Englard, having languithed 18 years in prifon, was con- demned to die by Englifh judges, and beheaded. Charles 1. grand.fon of Mary, King of Scotland and England, fold by the Seats, and fentenced to die by the Englifp, loft his life upon a public fcaffold. Fames his fon, the feventh of the name, and fecond in England, was drove from his three kingdoms ; and to compleat his mis- fortunes, even the very birth of his fon is contefted This fon attempted to remount the throne of his an- ceftors only to caufe his friends to perifh by the hands of the executioner. If any thing therefore can juftity thofe who believe in s fatality, which it is impoffible to furmount, it is this continual courle of misfortunes, which has perfecuted the family of Stuars for more than 300 cars. ’ The purport of a letter a from & gentlemen st Rome, dated March 3r1. ¢ It is with pleafure [ can contradi&t what was faid relating to an earthquake at Naples ; tho’ it had sl the appearance ofone. = An Englifh gen tléman who was there gave me the following relation of it: The eruption iffued from nine mouths ; the principal one, in a few houss, by the great quantities of ftones, cinders, &c. which it threw up, raifed = hill 200 yards high ; the lava, or melted matter, which it difcharged, was & mile broad, the length I do not member ; it afterwards became ftone with which they pave the Neapolitan ftreets. In its courle, which was {low, it deftroyed vineyards and fet on fire Jarge trecs. The matter is always red, like melied glafs. The principal mouth fometimes sbased its violerge for 5 or 6 minutes, & threw out nothing but cinders and fmoke ; b ¢ theh returned with fuch force, that though Naples is 12 miles diftant from it, the fhock forced open the windows and doors, which gave tile to the report of the earthquake. The damage 1t has done daes not cxceed 15,000.” PO RUVFLUSE MO T T H By 2 Veflel arrived at Marblehesd fince the Bofton Papers came out, which left Lifbon 35 Days ago, favs, that the Earthquake, as mentioned under the Bofton Head to have happened near Lifbon, was very flight there, and did no Damage. ¥ The Fire inthe Wcods, as mentioned in our laft, continues burning with great Violence.— And we hear from Northampton, that laft Week a Fire broke out in the Woods in that Place, and buint over 1z or 15 Acres of Land,but by timely Afliltance it was extinguifth ed without doing further Dimage.— And likewife from Towow, thatthe Fire has done great Damage there, having burnt their Meeting-Hou'e, &c.
