From Vienna we had an account, that above three parts of the city Fiume had been swallowed up by an earthquake, with most of the churches, convents, and warehoufes, whereby the merchants and traders in Iftria were ruined. During the earthquake, the fea overflowed a little ifland near Fiume, and all the inhabitants perished: The next day, tho' the fea was very calm, not the leaft veftiges of that ifland could be seen so that they prefume its subaqueous communication with the continent was broke off by the violence of the earthquake. FRIDAY, Feb. 1. Information having been given to justice Fielding of a number of people, who frequented a noted gaming-houfe in the Strand, he, this evening, fent for a party of foldiers (in number 40) from the Tiltyard, with a proper officer, who accordingly befet the house, but finding their number infufficient to secure them all, they were obliged to fend for a reinforcement from the Savoy and Somerset-house, which made up the number about 80. They then proceeded to business, when fix foldiers and a ferjeant entered the room, where the gamblers were affembled, with their bayonets fixed, and penned them up in a corner, till the reft came in and fecured them. The method the fficer took, was this: Each prifoner was put into the cuftody of a foldier, and both their names were entered down, fo that the foldiers were each of them obliged to fee his man forth coming, and the remaining party guarded them before and behind ; and in this manner they were carried before justice Fielding, who was till two o'clock the next morning examining them, when 30 were fent to the Gatehouse, and fix admitted to hail. During their march feveral of the prisoners offered the foldiers five guineas each to let them escape, but they were true to their truft, and not one got off. There were three tables broken to pieces, which coft near bol. apiece, under each of which were found two iron rollers, and two private springs, which those who were in the secret could touch, and stop the torn-about whenever they had any youngsters to deal with, and by that means fleeced them of their money. Letters from Dublin, of the ad inftant, bring advice, that the verdict and judgment obtained on the famous trial in the court of Exchequer by the Hon. James Annesley, Esq; against his uncle, Richard earl of Anglesey, was, on Jan. 28, affirmed in favour of Mr. Annesley, in the court of Exchequer chamber; and the writ of error brought by his lordship on that occafion so long ago as Nov. 1743, to stop further proceedings, was fet afide.
