[FONT=Times New Roman] struck on a rock, and immedi¬ately sprang aleak, by which so much water was admitted as to threaten speedy destruction. Means were instantly adopted to save the vessel, but all seemed ineffectual, as the water rose rapidly. In a short time, however, the leak stopped without any apparent cause, and the vessel reached bristol in safety. On examining her bottom, a fish, said to be a dolphin, was found fast wedged in the fracture made by the rock when she struck; which had pre¬vented any water from entering during the remainder of the voyage. As a memorial of this singular event, the figure of a dolphin is earved on the staves which are earned k procession, on public occasions, by the children who are educated at the charity schools founded by mr. Colstone. Merlin. In the melancholy bartholomew massacre, in france, for three days every protestant who could be found was put to death. By order of the king, admiral de coligny was murdered in his own house, buf merlin, his chaplain, concealed himself in a hay-loft. It is recorded in the acts of the next synod, of which be was a moderator, that though many in similar cir¬cumstances died from hunger, he was supported by a hen regularly laying an egg near his place of refuge.

It is stated, that some of his persecutors in london, knowing that he was often out of prison, sent an officer to talk with the jailer on the subject; and, in order to discover the fact, he was to get there in the middle of the night.

He did so, and the jailer blamed him for coming in at such an unseasonable hour. Early in the morning the messenger came, and interrogating the jailer, said, " are all the prisoners safe v " yes."
