THURSDAY, October 5.

HE parish of St. Clement Danes, at a veftry, agreed, that his majesty's attorney general's opinion fhould be forthwith taken, in order totally to fupprefs the notorious bawdy-houses between the church-yard and Temple-Bar, and to profecute all fuch houses within the faid parish with the utmost vigour; and allo to give to fuch perfon or perfons, on whofe evidence the keeper or keepers of fuch houfes fhall be convicted, the fum of 51. over and above all their costs, charges, and expences about the fame. A laudable example worthy the imitation of the neighbouring parishes, for the good of the publick in general, and for preventing the ruin and untimely end of rafh unthinking youth.

FRIDAY, 6.

An ambaffador from Tripoli in Barbary, having landed at Portsmouth, arriv'd in town this day.

An eminent factor in the woollen manufacture, near the Royal-Exchange, was taken into cuftody by one of his majesty's meffengers, for being a principal in the clandeftine fending of artificers and utenfils for the woollen manufacture to Spain, contrary to an act of parliament in that cafe made and provided in the 3d year of Q. Elizabeth; whereby it is enacted, that eight artificers, or any number above, departing the kingdom at any one time, shall be deem'd guilty of felony, and be punish'd as fuch. Some others were taken into cuftody on the fame account; and we were affur'd, that advice had been receiv'd of the fafe arrival of a ship in Spain, having on board about 60 artifices in the woollen manufacture, and that a great number of callimancoes and worsted damafks half finish'd were arrived, with a great quantity of utenfils belonging to that valuable branch of trade.

dignity of a countefs of the kingdom of Great Britain unto the right hon. Hefter vifcountefs Cobham, by the name, ftile and title of countess Temple; and the dignity of earl Temple to the heirs male of her body.

The perfons taken into cuftody on account of the woollen-manufacture, were examined, and two perfons who had been articled, but refused to go, were examined against them; upon which, the matter being fully proved, they were ordered into clofer confinement.

At the feffions at the Old Bailey, feveral were caft for tranfportation, but none capitally convicted. Thomas Yelden was try'd or forging and publishing a seaman's letter of attorney, and the jury brought in their verdi& fpecial.

A meffenger was dispatch'd, a few days ago, to Brabant, to folicit the delivery up of one Bevan, formerly an eminent clothier in Wiltshire, and principal in transporting the artificers, &c. in the woollen manufacture to Spain, who upon the bringing back of the fhip, efcaped thither.

A pardon pafs'd the great feal, granted to George Mackenzie, Efq; late earl of Cromartie, of the high treafon, whereof he ftands convicted, and all other treafons, &c. by him committed, on or before the 25th of Auguft, 1749, by reason of his being concerned in the late rebellion; with provifo, that if the faid George Mackenzie fhall not be, and remain in fuch place as his majesty, his heirs, &c. shall from time to time, by his or their fign manual direct, the faid pardon to be void. His majefty alfo was pleased to grant him the fum of 500l. per. ann. out of his forfeited eftates in Scotland, for the maintenance of his family; and to fettle the rest of the money arifing by the fale of his faid eftates upon his children.

A penfion of 500l. per annum was also granted, by the favour of his majesty, to the mafter of Lovat, fon of the late lord Lovat, out of the eftate belonging to the late lord.

ces remarkable in this execution, we shall be a little more particular than ufual. About nine in the morning the criminals were put into the carts. Mr. Sheriff Janffen, holding his white wand, and on horseback, attended the execution, accompanied by his proper officers. At Holbourn-bars Mr. Sheriff difmifs'd, very civilly, the party of foot-guards, who otherwife wou'd have march'd to Tyburn. The multitude of spectators was infinite. Tho' a rescue had been threatned by many (on account of Wilfon and Penlez, the two ill-fated young rioters, both of whom were expected to fuffer) there yet was not the leaft difturbance, except during a moment at the gallows, where a vast body of failors, fome of whom were arm'd with cutlaffes, and all with bludgeons, began to be very clamorous, as the unhappy fufferers were going to be turn'd off; which Mr. Sheriff perceiving, he rode up to them, and enquired, in the mildeft terms, the reafon of their tumult. Being answered, that they only wanted to fave the bodies of their brethren from the furgeons, and the fheriff promising that the latter fhou'd not have them; the failors thank'd the above magiftrate; wish'd every bleffing to attend him; and affur'd him that they had no defign to interrupt him in the execution of his office. The criminals feem'd all very penitent, and were turn'd off about twelve.-'Tis hop'd that the remarkable example, fet by that magistrate (from whom every reformation, in his power, is expected) in executing (agreeable to our conftitution, and antient custom,) his office, without a military aid, will be productive of the most happy effects, in a multitude of other instances; and prevent the foldiers from being call'd in, to quell every little diforder.

It was generally expected and defir'd, that both the young rioters might be pardon'd, and great intereft was made for that purpose by several gentlemen of figure and fortune; and among other representations, was one fign'd by 300 of the principal inhabitants of St. Clement Danes, &c.

About this time the affizes ended at Ely, for that ifle, held by Mr. Counsellor Pont, recorder of Cambridge, chief justice of the ifle of Ely; when, which is fomething extraordinary, the fix following criminals receiv'd fentence of death, viz. John fuckers, aliasVickers, for the murder of his wite; Amy Hutchinfon, not above 17 years of age,for poifoning her husband; Richard Sturges and Henry Cox for horfe-ftealing; Robert Brown for fheep ftealing; and John Beachum for breaking open a house at Manca in the ifle, and stealing a gun, &c. The 4 laft were

reprieved before the judge left Ely; and Juckers alias Vickers, and Amy Hutchinson,

The birth day of her royal highness the princefs of Orange, his majesty's eldest daughter, was celebrated, who then enter'd into the 41ft year of her age.

The distemper amongst the horned cattle has again appear'd near this metropolis. MONDAY, 30.

The lord-mayor's-day falling on a Sunday, Sir Samuel Pennant, knight, the new lord-mayor, was this day fworn in at Weftminfter with the ufual folemnity. This being alfo his majesty's birth-day, it was celebrated with the accuftom'd rejoicings, his majesty then entering into the 67th year of his age.

A grant has pafs'd the great feal, wherein his majesty is pleafed to re-incorporate fingular, all the freemen of the art of butchers of the city of London, and all others who now ufe or exercife, or shall hereafter use and exercife the art within the faid city, the liberties and fuburbs thereof, or in any place within two miles from the faid city; by the name of the mafter, wardens and commonalty of the art or mystery of butchers of the city of London.

WE mention'd the death of Sir Watkin

Williams Wynne, bart. in our last, P.433. The manner of his death has been fince related thus: That he was riding out with fome neighbouring gentlemen, to look for a hare; and that while he was going a footpace, one of the horse's legs,happening to flip into a rabbit-hole, he was thrown from his feat, and pitching with his head upon a ftone, had the misfortune to fracture his fcull: He lived for feveral hours, but was never able to speak afterwards. He was born Feb. 19, 1692, and was steward of his majesty's lordships of Bromfield and Yale in Denbighshire, which county he reprefented in feveral fucceffive parliaments, as he did in the prefent. He married first Anna Jofephina, daughter and coheir to Edward Vaughan, of Llwydiart and Llangedwynne in the county of Montgomery and Denbigh, Efq; who died March 1748, leaving him no iffue. In July, 1748, he married Mifs Fanny Shackerly, at the recommendation and request of his then lately deceafed lady, by whom he had iffue one fon, Charles Watkin Williams Wynne, born the 8th of April laft, who fucceeds his father in dignity and estate.

As a most excellent character has been drawn of the deceafed gentleman, we think proper to give it our readers.-In his publick character, he was refolute, and immoveable. In his private character, he was generous, and of exceeding goodnature. He loved his country with a fincerity, which feemed to diftinguish him from all mankind. His morals were untainted. He had an utter deteftation to vice.

His manners, like his countenance, were open and undifguifed. He was affable by nature. He knew how to condescend without meannels. He was munificent without oftentation. His behaviour was fo amiable, as never to create a perfonal enemy. He was ever honoured, where he was not beloved. In domeftick life, he was the kindeft relation and the trueft friend. His houfe was a noble fcene of regular, yet almost boundless, hofpitality. His piety towards his Creator was remarkable in his conftant attendance on the service of the church. He revered religion. He refpected the clergy. He feared God. The whole tenour of his conduct was one continued feries of virtue. So prepared, he had little reason to be afraid of a fudden death. Every day of his life was a preparation for heaven. The lofs of him will be a lafting calamity to his country. (See p. 473, 475.)
