A young man of reputable con nexions, by the name of Morton, was capitally convicted of defraud ing the Britifh Bank. While he was lying in prifon, and in the ago nizing expedition of fuffering a fhameful execution, a pretended friend of the name of D—, who had formed the diabolical plan of fpeculating by the tranfa&ion, vi fired him, and with profeflions of the warmtft benevolence offered to affift him to tfcape, which he effec tually effected, and Morton fled to France. ]) , then betook himfelf to the dire<ftors of the bank, who were much disappointed at the efcape of their vidbim, and offered to deliver him into their hands, on condition that they would pay him fourthou fand pounds, which D finding that he could get no mere, accept ed. The matter being fettled, D—— wrote to Morton that his friends with a good pro fpedfc of fucccfs, were attempting to obtain his par don. A few clays after, he wrote that his pardon was obtained, and he might return in iafety.

Ibid. From the Rhode -IJiand American. Messrs. Dunham and Hawkins. On the 17th of June Eft, I took my departure from Block-Eland, bound to St. Barrs. We were fteering E. S.

At th'-ee days fail from Block-Ifland, in lat. 30, 58, N. long 70, 25, W. at 11 o’clock at nighr, a fharp and uncommon noife was heard aftern of the vefifel, refembling fomewhat the report of a piftol, at two diftind and different times. A few min utes after this noife, the clouds fep arated over head in the form of a fog-rainbow, and at that moment a ftor.e r ;ll on our deck , and at the fame time a large quantity fell in the water under cur lee at the diftance Ifhould judge of about twelve feet. In aboac five or fix feconds afterwards, the fog-rainbow defeended to the hori zon. I fwppofe, from the quantity that fell in the water, that had they fell on board, we fhould have fuffer ed material injury. The ftonc that fell upon the deck I have preferved, it weighs above fix ounces, is of the colour of iron, and appears to be impregnated with copper. Wheth er this (tone was drawn up by a ws ter-fpout, which broke a little aftern of us, I leave for others to judge. The weather (bill continued very thick and cloudy, attended with rain, fharp lightning, heavy thunder and a rough fca.
