London, April 21.  Wednesday night a great number of sailors
passed through Wapping with a figure of Lord Bute dressed in
a plaid bonnet and a bagpipe under his arm and in his right
hand a petticoat.  After diverting themselves for some time
in the streets they went in boats down the river, and
entering a Scots ship, a fray ensued.  Many on both sides
were terribly bruised, but we do not hear of any lives being
lost.
