New-York, November 5. The 27th ult. about Noon, a Fire broke out in the Court-House at Perth-Amboy, which entirely consumed the Wooden Part of it. It is supposed to have catch'd from some Sparks flying out of the Chimney, and driven by the hard Wind on the Cupo- la; and notwithstanding it was discovered before it got to any Height, yet for the Want of an Engine, and by the Steepness of the Roof, all Endeavours to extinguish it proved ineffectual.
We likewise hear from New-Jersey, that on Saturday Night the 27th ult. departed this Life, at Perth-Amboy, in the 67th Year of his Age, the Hon. Samuel Nevill, Esq; Second Judge of the Supreme Court of that Prov- ince; which Post he long sustain'd with Dignity and Hon- our : He was also Mayor of the City of Perth-Amboy, and one of the Proprietors of the Eastern Division. Like- wise many Years a Representative in the General Assem- bly, and often filled the Speaker's Chair with Integrity and Applause. In all his Offices, he was a faithful Ser- vant to the Public, and his Loss in that Province is uni- versally regretted. 1
We hear from New-Jersey, that on Wednesday the 24th ult. a Boy about II Years of Age, Son of Mr. Sam- uel Marsh of Woodbridge, being on the fore Horse of a Team with a loaded Waggon, descending a Hill, the

Horse fell and threw him, and before he could recover himself the Waggon went over his Breast and crush'd him to Death, instantly. The same Afternoon three other Boys nearly of the same Age, each with a Team, hearing of the Accident, call'd in at Mr. Marsh's House to look at the deceased as he lay dead in the House. After they went away, one of the Boys, said to the others, that the deceased must have been foolish, else that after the Horse fell he might have got out of the way of the Waggon. Some time after, on the Road, the Boy who had made this Observation, fell from his Cart, the Wheel of which went over him; he got up and run a little Way, and then fell and immediately expired.
The same Day, a Man fell from a Saw-Mill, at or near Ash-Swamp, and was killed.
To be sold, the 5th Day of March 1765, at Vendue, if not sold before, by private Sale;
