Yefterday at four o'clock, the Amphion frigate, of 32 guns, capt. I. Pellew, lafhed alongfile the Princeffa hulk, blew up with a dreadful explosion. The fhock felt was like an earthquake. In a moment the fore part of the hip was scattered in ten thousand fhivers, and nothing but wreck to be feen.

The returns this morning are, captain Pellew, one lieutenant, one purfer, one midshipman, one mate, one boatfwain and mate, and thirtythree feamen and marines faved: feveral of these are bad y wounded. The reft, fhocking to relate, configned to eternity! About forty-two bodies were picked up, and carried to the bone-house of the royal hospital, and placed in coffins, among wich are fix young women. The diftrefs among the numerous relations of the unfortunate fufferers is inconceivable, each endeavouring to find out a brother, hufband, or fon, among the dead bodies. Many were blown in fuch pofitions, and fo difcoloured, as to look like the figure-heads of a man of war. How this accident happened, is as yet unknown. Captain Pellew, captain Swaf A Swaffield, of the Overyffel, of 64 guns, and a lieutenant of the Amphion, were dining together: hearing fome bustle. captain Pellew and the lieutenant ran into the quarter gallery, and the fhip initantly blew up forwards Captain Pellew was blown on the hulk, and the lieutenant into the water; both were faved; captain Pellew wounded in the face, and the lieutenant in the leg.

Stap had a narrow efcape, as they were prevented from dining on board the Amphion that day by accident. So great was the explosion, that two 12 pounders and a fix pounder were blown upon the Princessa's main deck. The mails were blown holt up in the air, higher than the malt of the theer hulk, and broke in pieces on their fall; and the men that were faved, were moftly at work in the rigging and yards, as he was all tanto. She had not her full complement of marines on board at the time the explofion took place. This morning thirty of the unfortunate fufferers were buried in the royal hofpital burial-ground, in one large grave from east to west-it was a piteous and melancholy fight!

The names of all the aldermen below the chair, who had ferved the office of fher ff, were then put in nomination, and Brook Watfon, efq. alderman and musician, had the greatest flow of hands; but the fheriffs having in doubt whether fir Benjamin Harumet, or Mr. alderman Combe had the greatest show, they were put up again, and alderman Combe returned by a great majority. The theriffs then declared, that Brook Watfon, efq. adlerman and mufician, and Harvey Chriftian Combe, efq. alderman and fifhmonger, were the two perfons having the greatest show of hands to be returned to the court of aldermen to elect one of them to be lord mayor for the enfuing year.
