We hear from Princetown that yesterday se'nnight, as the New
York stage waggon was crossing at Waters's ferry at Staten
Island, the flat having a sail set, and the wind and tide
being against each other, the sea raised the side of the
flat so that the wind took her bottom and overset her, by
which accident Mrs. Morris, wife to Mr. Morris the player,
with her maid servant, were drowned; the other passengers,
together with the drive and boatman, were with great
difficulty saved. Two horses were also lost.
