Dec. 28,

Information was given, by the book-keeper of the Cambridge coach, to the Magiftrates in Bow-fireet, that on the previous evening A parcel containing 500 guineas, fent from the houfe of Sir James Edaile and Company, bankers, to Mr. Mortlock, in Cambridge, had been ftolen from the book keeper's warehoufe, in the momentary abfence of the perfon intrafted with the care of it. In confequence of which information, and a defcription of the perfons feen loitering about the premiffes, three of the most active officers be longing to the police went in porfuit of one Coleman, and found him at his lodgings, where, on examining his trunks, they found a pocket book, in which were the value of 200 guineas in money and notes, which he could give no fatisfactory account of. They therefore immediately conducted him to the office in Bow-ftreet, from whence by the Magiftrates there he was committed to New Prifon. He has fince been indicted at the Old Baily; but, at the request of the prosecutors, his trial has been put off.

A fingular forgery has lately been committed on the Bank, by a perfon of the name, of Lamb. The note by which the forgery was difcovered was for 201. and fo nicely, executed, that Abraham Newland, the cashier, could hardly tell the true from the falfe note. The early d fcovery, which was fortunate for the publick, was by chance. Lamb, being clerk in Doctors Commons, requefted the head clerk in the office to lend him a 201. Bank note, which be promifed to return in a fhort time. But Lamb not keeping his word, his brother clerk was obliged to prefs him for it. The note Lamb received was endorfed; the note Lamb brought the head clerk, Lamb happened to neglect putting the indorfement on it. This, with other fufpicious circumstances, led the clerk to fuppofe there was fome underhand manoeuvre in the matter. He went to Meffrs. Boldero and Co. with the note: they declared it to be genuine, and offered him the cash for it; which he refufed, confcious the note he gave Lamb was endorfed. His fufpicions proved too true; for no fooner Lamb fled, than the matter took air.

It does not appear that he had paffed any number in circulation. They were drawn with a pencil and Indian ink, and the water mark complete.

DEATHS.

1786. AT Berlin, Mofes Mendelfohn, a Fan. 4. celebrated jewith philofopher. He was born at Delfi, in 1729, and was inftructed by his father, who was a fchoolmatter, in the Hebrew language, and in the rudiments of Jewish learning. As the father

[ocr errors]

was extremely poor, he left him at the age of fourteen, and went to Berlin, where he pafled feveral years, in want, very often, of the neceffaries of life. At length a Rabbi, who had been acquainted with his father, employed him in copying manufcripts; and foon after, a wealthy Jew gave him an apartment and diet in his houfe. He now had an opportu nity to indulge his inclination for ftudy. A Jewish school-master at Berlin, with whom he became acquainted about this period, put into his hands an Hebrew tranflation of Euclid. This gave him a tafte for mathematics. Soon after this he began to study Latin; and at length found himself able to read a Latin tranflation of Locke's Treatife on the Underftanding. After this his knowledge increafed rapidly, and in 1755 his "Briefe neber die Empfindungen" gained him great repu tation as a writer. He had afterwards à confiderable fhare in the "Letters concerning Modern Literature" (Briefen die neneste Litteratur betreffend), and in the "Allge meine Deutche Bibliothek," a literary Journal, published at Berlin. His philofophical writings were collected and published at Berlin in 1761, in octavo; and a little before before his death, viz. in 1785, appeared the First Part of his "Morgenstunden; oder Vorlesungen uber Daseyn Gottes;" that is to fay, "Morning-hours; or Difcourfes on the Existence of God." Befides the works we have already mentioned, he was author of an "Ellay (printed in 1764) on the Evidence in Metaphyfical Sciences," (Abhandlung neber die Evidenz in Metaphyfichen Wilfenfchaften); and of a German tranflation of the Pfalms of David, publifhed in 1783.-A portrait of this excellent man may be found in Lavater's work on Phyfiognomy, and likewife in the VIIIth volume of the "Allgemeine Bibliothek," abovementioned.
