London, June 1. A debauched young spendthrift, who has
ruined his finances by every species of fashionable
extravagance, was lately married to a young lady of very
considerable fortune (who, in all probability, he will soon
make a beggar of too) with no other ceremony of courtship,
or prelude to their marriage, than seeing her once at an
Assembly, and saying to her, "Will you have me? You are a
fine girl: I'll have you, by ----, if you will." To which
the young lady immediately consented, and they were married
the week following.--- Such are the coxcombs and the women
of the present age!
