St., a sea-port town of Cornwall in England, seated on a bay of the same name; which is chiefly frequented by fishermen, for the taking of pilchards. By this trade, and that of Cornish flutes, it has thriven greatly, and 20 or 30 sail of ships now belong to it. It is a corporation, governed by a mayor, recorder, &c. and it sends two members to parliament. Here is a handsome spacious church, and a grammar-school, which was founded by Charles I.

St., is also the name of a town in Huntingdonshire, 64 miles from London. It has a fine stone bridge over the Ouse, had in the ninth century a mint, and was noted for its medicinal waters. Great part of it was burnt down some years ago, but it was rebuilt. Here is a very good market on Monday for fatted cattle brought from the north; and there are two fairs in the year. Here Oliver Cromwell rented a farm before he was chosen a burgess for Cambridge.
