We hear from East Jersey, of the following horri- ble Tragedy ; not long since, about Eight or Ten Men (Irish all) by Night went to the House of a par- ticular Gentleman in that Country, who was noted for a Man of Substance; and having call'd at the Door, diverse of the Family went out to see what the Matter was, whom the Men without immediately fell upon and murder'd ; the Gentleman of the House perceiving some Disturbance, went out himself, and was murder'd also. Upon which the Gentleman's Wife in the utmost Distress ran up Garret, leaving her young Child behind her, and hid herself in a Hogshead of Feathers, and so escap'd their bloody Hands. The Rogues having entred the House, in a most barbarous Manner murder'd the child, after they had tortur'd it in order to find the Mother, say- ing, Make the Calf Blair, and the Cow will come. After they had rifled the House, and pick'd up all the Money and Plate they could meet with, they made off, whilst one of them, in the Hurry, left his little Dog behind him, shut up in the House. The poor distressed Gentlewoman perceiving they were gone, ventur'd down Stairs, and then was presented with the most awful Spectacle that ever her Eyes beheld ; her Husband, child, and Servants, all welter- ing in their Blood.

New-York. By Capt. Piercy who arrived this Week at Amboy from Madeira, We hear that the
1 Joseph Borden, the founder of Bordentown, was the seventh child of Benjamin and Abigail (dau. of James Grover) Borden, who were married 22 September, 1670. Joseph was b. 12 May, 1687. He first visited Farnsworth's Landing in a coasting ves- sel, probably his own, from Shrewsbury, N. J., and on 3 March, 1724, bought of Samuel Farnsworth 105 acres of land, and subsequently, by purchase, became the owner of nearly the whole of the site of the present Bordentown. He seems to have been enter- prising, progressive and liberal. In 1740 he gave the site for the Friends' meeting- house, and in 1751 conveyed to the Baptists for a trifling consideration the site for their church and burying ground. He was interested in the iron forge, laid out streets and building lots, erected a splendid mansion for himself, and did much to bring about a realization of his belief that Bordentown would be a great emporium for trade between New York and Philadelphia. It was with this idea in view that he reserved the water-front on the Delaware, established a line of "stage-waggons" be- tween New York and Bordentown, and "stage-boats " from Bordentown to Philadel- phia, in order to head off his growing rival, Trenton. It will be seen in subsequent pages that he and his son Joseph kept up these means of transportation for many years. He died 22 September, 1765. Some time prior to 1716 he married Mary Ann . They had one son, Joseph, and six daughters .- E. M. Woodward, in Hist. Burlington and Mercer Counties, 454, 458, 459.

2 War with Spain was declared by England, 19 October, 1739. By the commercial treaties of 1667 and 1670 between the two countries it had been agreed that British vessels should not approach the coast of the Spanish coionies unless driven thither by stress of weather, and that merchant vessels sailing near the ports or in the seas of the respective nations might be searched by the other for con- traband goods. The British ships constantly evaded the treaty provisions forbidding them to trade with the Spanish colonies, and when the Spaniards asserted the right of search, the British people set up a universal cry of hostility, and although Robert Walpole used every artifice to avoid war, he was at last compelled to yield to the popular fury, and to demand of Spain a renunciation of the right of search, and an express acknowledgment of the British claims to trade anywhere in North America. A general European war ensued, other causes subsequently tending to that end, and it was net till October, 1748, that peace was settled by the treaty of Aix la Chapelle ; in that treaty, oddly enough. not a word was said about the principles for which England had engaged in the war, nine years before .- Mahon's England, II., Chap.
