the Czar, an ilistorimi -Tragedy. BY JOlll2/1 Cai- DOCK, alb M.A. F.S.A. The publication of the C,tar forms a sort of pheno menon in literature. It was Written for another age, and after slumbering in MS. for half a century, is now first given to the Public by its venerable author. That Mr. Cradock is a Gentleman of fortune will be inferred from this circumstance alone; and that he 6 a modest author will be readily conceded, when it is known, that he delayed for nearly fifty years publishing a play which met with the approbation of Garrick and Sheridan, and which was so gratifying to the Empress Catherine of Russia that she invited the author to the Court of St. Petersburgh. That the Tragedy was not brought out on the stage under the direction of Garrick was owing to an accidental circumstance, but the author might afterwards have had it produced at either Drury- Lane or Covent-Garden, under the management of Mr. Sheridan or Mr. Harris, which he declined, owing per haps to the difficulty of getting two Ladies able to sus tain the two principal female characters. The characters in the Tragedy of the Czar are well drawn, and the language, which is always correct, is often highly poetical and vigorous. The story, which in many particulars adheres to history, is interesting; the incidents and situations are natural, and the catas trophe is well worked up and impressive. The Wonders of Elora. By Captain SIRLY. We have already spoken favourably of this work, and think the public much indebted to Captain SEELY for unveiling those stupendous works of art at Elora; his woik is not confined to this, but contains much interest ing matter relative to India, as will be perceived by one or two extracts: "Dancing Girls.—The vocalists and dancers have the accompaniments of small noisy harsh drums, beaten with the fingers and a small hard stick : the drum is suspended from the neck, and rests in the vest of the player. They have a kind of guitar, played either with a bow or the fingers. To produce " :eft sounds" in accordance with the step or whirl of the dancing girl, the musicians distort their countenances by the most hideous grimaces. The whole face and neck appear convulsed, the mouth wide open, and the player roaring out with might and main a symphony to his own music. Their violent motions evince exertion and the utmost enthusiasm in gesture, torturing, as it were, some dulcet sounds (as they think) from their rude and inharmonious instruments. These performers are neriously alive to their calling, and so desirous of improving the dancing and singing, that they get into a profuse sweat, and ap pear as if bewitched with the wish to please and the ravishing effects of their own noise, than which nothing can be more discordant or frightful, equally devoid df sweetness in the instrument and of taste in the per formers. When you can prevail on the girls to sing mithout the execrable accompaniment of tam-tams, the guitar, and cymbals, it is a great treat. Their voices are often very mellifluous, their persons graceful, their countenances soft and expressive, their motions and atti tudes classically elegant; but when these obstreperous sons of Orpheus step in, farewell to all harmony. " The girls sing strains on the old subject—love and mar; and in relating the delights of the former, do not fail to " suit the action to the word: " but they seldom _ overstep the " modesty of nature," except urged on by imprudent and volatile young men. This is very re prehensible in-the young and gay; but it is well known e cannot expect " old heads on young shoulders." Spencer sings— , flow great a toil to stein the raging flood, When beauty stirs the mass of youthful blood !' " Round the ankles of the girls are placed rows of very small silver bells ; these they move in cadence, I quickly or not, according to the step or figure they are engaged in. There are generally three or four per formers at a time, who alternately take a part in the dancing or singing, as one or other recedes or gets ex hausted. The quick movements of the loins and hips, the whirling motions they take (in which our figure dancers are mere novices), and both hands playing cas tanets, and flourishing them over the head, must be fatiguing." The following are anecdotes of the Bheels, a horde of banditti, who are considered by Captain Seely as the aborigines of India : " Their haunts are in the wildest parts of India, where neither civilisation nor the Brahminical creed have ever penetrated ; and they hold both in great contempt. They are generally of short stature, sometimes with curly hair and a thickness of the lower lip ; of very dark com plexion, and more masculine in form than the Hindoos. Their habits are migratory; but wherever extensive forests or mountainous woody tracks are formed, par ties of Bheels reside, and only quit their strong holds for plunder, or to engage as auxiliaries in a foray, to devastate and destroy that which contending chiefs can not themselves accomplish. " A nefineraent in the vengeance of sanguinary war fare was always had recourse to in the employment of Bheels ; and of late years likewise in those desultoiy vindictive inroads of petty chiefs, the Bheel became a willing and useful ally, and the work of destruction was incomplete without his demoniacal aid, in poisoning the wells, burning the villages, murdering the inhabitants, destroying the crops, and driving off the cattle. Fifty theels could be more useful than five hundred troops, approaching by paths through the deep forests known only to themselves. Their appearance was as sudden as unexpected, and the visit fatal to the devoted spot. To find treasure, the most horrid and refined cruelties were practised, the like of which we have not in history. Their retreats were unknown ; the jungle and mountains were impenetrable to all but themselves; and woe to the individual who opposed a Bheel, or was marked out by them for vengeance. A journey of three hun dred miles would be a. mere walk to a Bheel. Wily, hardy, and bold, no danger could arrest his progress, and no security protect his victim, though years might elapse of unavkiling puma; and if the Bheel did not succeed at hst, he.would destroy himself. " An Offger, a Captain had, by interrupting and wounding a Bheel, while labouring in his vocation, been masked. In consequence af this, he had a sentry to his house; but from the neighbouring bank of the river they had worked a, lakerraateas passage, for a considerable distance, large enough for one man to crawl along, and had begun to perforate the floor of his bed-chamber, when he swat distivdred. We had at the city where this took place, overly• two thmisand Aroops, yet it was necessary, for the pacer's safety, to remove him to Bombay. A Parscamismaa. who had d'""gs4 ‹fk 1 Y k illib refused to pay the usual tribute to the Bheels, was found dead in the suopting in the mesfrroom. It was his custom to put his mat on e.large wine chest, where he slept : in the morning, he was found with his head plated on the mess-table, the headless body lying on the chest. In neither of the above instances was plun der their object, but the choute (tribute), which they considered to be their unquestionable right, by esta blished and immemorial custom, had not been paid. At the mess-room there were two sentries stationed, whom they had eluded, a matter of no difficulty to a Bheel on a dark night." SELENOSCOPIA. An exhibition with this hard name, which, being in terpreted, signifies viewing by moonlight, has lately been opened in Soho-square. There are twelve views on a small scale, which are curious and interesting on account of the manner in which the pictorial effects are produced. At first the spectator supposes that be is looking at a transparency, but is informed that the ap parent picture, behind which a light is placed, is no thing more than blank paper, without any portion of I colouring matter. The varieties of light and shade are brought out, we presume, by the disposition of pieces of 'paper of different degrees of thickness,and the application, in parts, of oil, or some other unctuous material. The moonlight tints and lights are imitated with consider. able felicity ; some of the figures stand out well from the landscape, and the whole performance is highly credit able to the industry and ingenuity of the inventor, who, we understand, is a young Lady. It remains to be seen whether theinvention cannot be applied extensively to ornamental furniture. NEW CHURCHES. According to the Appendix to the Fourth Report of the Commissioners (just primed), for building New Churches, besides the Chu - rches already buildi — ng, the erection of Churches or Chapels at the following places, has been resolved on, only the Plans have not yet been received : Bethnal Green, Middlesex—Accommodation for 9,000 people. Birmingham. St. Martin, Warwlek--Ditto for 1,900 people. Chelsea, Hat - la Town, Middlesex—Ditto for 1,500 people. Edmonton, Middlesex--Ditto for S5O people. St. George in the East, Middlesex—ditto for 2,000 people. Highgate, in the Parishes of Hornsey, Islington, and St. Pancras, Middlesex—Ditto for 1,500 people. Holborn, St. Andrew, City of London, and County of Middlesex .--Ditto for 2,000 people. Kensington, Middlesex—Ditto for 1,250 people. St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Middlesex—Diuo for 2,000 people. Old-street, St. Luke, Middlesex—Ditto for 2,000 people. These, it will be borne in mind, are in addition to those now building at Bermondsey, St. Luke's, Chelsea, Clerkenwell, Greenwich, Hanover-square, (in which Parish three are building—Regent -street, South Aud ley-street, and Pimlico). Lambeth, (where tour are building—Norwood, Brixton, Kennington, just finished, and Waterlou-road). Mary-la Bonne, (where three are building, in Langham-place, Stafford -street, and Port. land-road). St. Pancras (two—at Somers Town and in Regent-square). At Shoreditch (two in that Parish, at Hoxton and Haggerstone). &c. A French writer informs us, that in Ceylon, at the present day, to prove the innate courage of their chil dren, their parents place them on the back of a tame eagle, in the presence of a multitude assembled on the occasion, who mounts with the child into the air ; if' the latter betrays any fear, it is sacrificed, as incapable' of supporting the dangers to which this life is exposed. I Tuesday, a stone-mason, of the name of Thomas Brown, who resides at Quarry Hill, Leeds, commenced, the degrading ceremony of selling his wife by auction' at the Market Cross. She was put up at Is. 6d. and the bidding* had advanced to Ss. when a constable ap peared, who took the auctioneer into custody, and libe rated his spare rib. He was brought before the Magis trates, where be stated his reason for being so desirous of disposing of his property, and was discharged with a reprimand, after being reminded that a repetition of the offence would subject him to imprisonment. In the Prussian army there are 10,683 persons, of whom 657, of the rank of Etat Major, are noble, and 73 not ; 1,007 Captains, noble, and 671 not. The landwehr is included in this enumeration. In the number of first Lieutenants, there are forty-one No blemen and ninety-one bourgeois, in the cavalry, and 600 equally divided between both classes in the in fantry. In the artillery, there are twenty-five Noble men and 144 bourgeois. In fine, in the landwehr there are 133 belonging to the first of these two classes and 766 to the second. In all, this last body contains 562 Noble Officers, and 3,732 bourgeois. NEW BVILDING3.—The rage for building is such, that on all the roads leading direct to and from London, wherever there may be any spare ground fronting the road, there is sure to be a board up for the whole or the greater part, of such ground to let on " Building Leases." This is particularly the case on the Western road; at Knigbtsbridge,at Kensington,w here an amazing extent of building, as well as brickmaking, are proceed ing under Lord KENSINGTON, at Hammersmith, and on to Brentford and lAeworth, this is particularly the case. The phraseology of some of these boards is highly amusing: there is one, for instance, between Hammer smith and Kensington, which states, after announcing that the ground is to be let on building leases, that "bricks, money, and timber, also, may be had!" Our new enemy in India, the Burmese Monarch, is the proprietor of the celebrated white elephant. The writer of the article on the Burman Empire, in the En cyclopedia Metropolitan, has the following account of this important beast, which, like many other important personages, dwindles down on close inspection : " One of the most singular and absurd superstitions by which human nature has been disgraced, is the veneration paid in this country, to a white elephant, who is considered as the second per sonage in the empire, ranks before any of the Royal Family except the Sovereign, has a regular Court, Ministers, Secretaries, &c. and is lodged in a splendid palace, connected by a long gallery with thel Royal residence. A black velvet curtain, embossed with gold, screens this august beast from vulgar eyes, and his abode la as bril liant as gilding can snake it. He has a bed covered with crimson silk, and trappings richly adorned with gold and precious stones.— A complete service of gold, including betel boxes, spitting-pots, and we may presume pipes, though the historians of Ave have not mentioned those important articles, are luxuries indispensable to so distinguished a quadruped; but, like many other Royal personages, he is doomed to live in a splendid prison, and is chained by silv er chains and golden fetter s to the pillar; of his palace. Captain Can ning, the British Edney to the Coati of Amara-pura, in lino, was admitted to the sacred presence, and saw nothing but a diminu tive, sandy-coloured beast, disfigured-by a species of ',prosy, and apparendy little gradAed by the hismility of his attendants, who, at the threshold of the apartment, bowed their heads down to the ground before him." The other evening, at the Theatre I'Ambigu Co nig ue, at Paris, in one of the most pathetic scenes in a new Melo-drame, called Cordlike, on Le (battier de Arse nal the actor, who performed the part of the ferocious assassin, with perfect sangfroid, advanced in front of the stage, and presented his friend the Prompler with a Pinch Of Sitat to the ao small iuousetneot of the audience. WESTIVINSTEtt SESSIONS, JULY 24. ACQUITTAL OP TO CPU/EVAN? CAPTAIN lIENST LOWC. This young man. WHOA case occupied so, much at tention at Marlborough -street, and against whom so many charges were preferred for obtaining goods under false pretences, was this day placed within the bar amongst the other prisoners. The Court, however, went through the traverse paper, and at three o'clock the prisoner ,was put to the bar. He appeared by no means genteelly dressed. Mr. Alen, the chief Clerk, read over the indictment against the\prisoner, which charged him with obtaining by fraudulent means, in the p art of St. Paul, Covent garden, three pair of boots, and two pair of gilt spurs, the property of George Westcott. Mr. Allen at the conclusion asked him if he was Guilty or Not Guilty ? —Prisoner.—Not Guilty, Sir. He here turned his eyes round with apparent anxiety. Mr. Wilson was now directed to call the prosecutor and witnesses. He did so three times, but no one an swered. The prisoner during this time seemed greatly agitated; his cheeks lost their florid hue for the mo ment, but on Mr. Wilson again entering the Court, and saying, " They do not answer, Sir," he seemed to re cover his fortitude. The Chairman, F. CONS; Esq. now addressed the Jury as follows :—" Gentlemen, the prisoner stands charged with a fraud in having btained goods from a person named Westcott. That Gentleman does not ap pear, nor does there appear any evidence against him ; it will, therefore, be your duty to acquit him." The Jury of course immediately found him Not Guilty. Before the prisoner left the bar, a warrant was pro duced for his detention as a deserter, and the Court ord. red him to be handed over to the military authority. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. hi A NSION-TIOUSF. Friday night last, a number of Lascars called at the Mansion- House, with their &rang, and insisted upon seeing the LORD Marna. They were sent to the Compter till the following morning, when Captain Garrick, against whom they complained, appeared. 'lle Lascars charged Captain Garrick that he bad acted with great cruelty towards them in the Isle of France, and had withheld their pay. They all declared their abhorrence at the mere idea of going abroad, and said they would sooner be hanged in England than fall under the hands of the Captain at sea.—Captain Garrick said, that at the Isle of France he had advanced some money to the Serang, who immediately afterwards disappeared, and refused to return to the ship, after having encouraged the men to do the same thing, until the Police laid hands upon him. He (the defendant) had given his bond for tlOOOl. to the East India Company as ,a security for the return of the crew, and if he gave them their demands, the fairness of which he at once admitted, he should never be able to fulfil his engagement. The moment they arrived, a number of ex tortioners and dissolute females got round them, and encouraged them to make a bard push for their money. The Serang, whose obstinacy was most extraordinary, led the way in the business, and had collected money from the men, in order to defray all the ex penses of the holding out against the Company. As soon as the ship should fall down to Gravesend, he (the Captain) would give each man two months in advance; but for his own sake, as well as for the men's, be should not give them a halfpenny until that time. He was convinced, that if the Serang were to lead the way, the nen would follow without hesitation. They at length consented to go, upon the promise that he would nut visit any punishment upon them, when they were in his power. BO W-sT E II: T. Saturday, Michael Moore, late acting Purser of his 11Iajesty's ship Liverpool, was brought up for re-examination, charged with having sent in forged and fraudulent documents to the Victualling Office, with intent to defraud his Majesty the King. Ile had been remanded from Wednesday last, on purpose to give him an oppor tunity of procuring legal advice; but he had nobody in attendance, and he accounted for it by saying that he had not the means of procuring the assistance of any person. In reply to the charge, he complained of having had so many duties imposed upon him whilst on board the Liverpool ; and was at the same time so harassed and driven about by the Officers, thut he could do nothing pro perly. The accounts in question, he said, were made up whilst he was thus harassed, and therefore it was not wonderful i(they were not exactly correct. The Magistrate told him, however this might be, there was quite sufficient evidence to warrant his commitment, and he was accord ingly committed to Newgate for trial at the ensuing Sessions. It is a singular fact, that this unhappy man has persisted in making that claim on the Victualling Office for which he is now about to be tried for his life, though be was repeatedly told what would be the consequence. ! WUAT A STOUT' !" OA, MARTIN T. Charles Chivers was charged, before G. R. Misstict.t., Esq. and Lord Motorrroas, on Saturday last, with beating and mobbing one Ur. Aminadab Martin—against the peace of cur Sovereign Lord the King, his Crown and . dignity. Mr. Charles Chivers is a youthful supernumerary compositor, or gendentan no*" in a printing establishment. Mr. Aminadab Mar tin is a stitcher of neat's leather, for the feet of the ICing's lieges by day, and a dispenser of bills of the play by night ; a very harm- iess, curly-headed, and, seemingly, ill-used little personage in a coat. Mr. Aminadab Martin opened the business by stating his case; and it appealed thereby, that as he, the said Aminadab, was sedu lously selling his play-bills the other evening, Mr. Charles Chivers came up to him, with arms a-kimbo, and plainly told him, the said Aminadab, that he was a dirty, disagreeable, detrimental little devil—a foul-mouthed, evil-speaking, sanctified, and cantankerous coxcomb ; and that he, the said Charles Chivers, had a very good mind to twist his noae off, in proof thereof. It appeared further, that the said Aminadab requested the said Charles not to put him self in such a passion—inasmuch as he was totally unconscious of having offended him, and was, therefore, by no means deserving o f having his nose twisted off as aforesaid. But nevertheless the said Charles agitated himself more and more—declaring that the said Aminadab was all those queer things which he had called him, and a coward to boot, unless he would immediately peel and turn to.— May, k appeared, that the said Aminadab, instead of turning to , turned tail and fled, pursued by a mob of shouting boys, and the said Charles Chivers bumping him behind until he took refuge in the sanctuary of his own house—panting and frightened almost out of his wits. " And pray, what could be his motive for thus attacking you ?" asked the Magistrate, when Aminadab had concluded his narration. " Upon my soul and body !" replied little Aminadab, " I know ne more than the pen in your Worship's hand." Now, your Worship," said Mr. Charles Chivers, " if Mr. Martin has done, I will tell you all about it, from the very begin; tang." Me then took by the hand a very pretty girl who was standing behind him, and leading her forward, still holding the dam set by the hand, be proceeded—" This Lady is my wife, your Wor ship. She is the daughter of the Lady in whose house I and my mother, and Mr. Martin and his mother, resided. I paid my ad- 1 dresses to her, and she listened to me, and we married, u your Worship may naturally suppose"— " Indeed," said his Worship, interrupting him, " I should sup pose no such thing, for neither of you seem more than eighteen years old !" " Aye, that's what I say !" exclaimed Mr. Amin actab Martin ; and his Worship having told Amlnadab he had better say nothing, Mr. Charles Chivers went on :—" We are young, your Worship, it can't be denied ; but that's not the quifstion; and we may be as true to each other, and understand maul:nosey as well as older folks." His Worship smiled, and the blushing Mrs. Chivers squeezed her husband's hand--u much as to say, do get on with your story. So be went on and said—" It so happened that Mr. Martin paid his addresses to ber at the same time that I did ; but she wouldn't lis ten to him, though he actually offered her two sovereigns if she would only marry him !" " Oh ! what a story !" exclaimed the indignant Aminadab.— " Your Worship, upon—my—word—and honour, she was always osscoesusou coning till Mr. Cblvers came to live in our house; and then It was all my eye 'deb me! She was so food of me ' your Worship, before he came, that she went o t io buy the wsddon ring herself ! Now, did 'nt you, Charlotte r Charlotte blushed—rathei consciously, but she did not vouchsafe a reply to the tender appeal; and Lord Mountford asked Arnim dab, why, when the Lady had bought the ring, he did not apply it to the purpose for which it was bought? " Nab, now," replied Aminadab, " It's very cruel, Sir, to joke on Lich subjects." Mr. Charles Chivers case more resumed his narrative, and said, that Anariadab was so angry with Charlotte for marrying bins, that be took es`eiT oppottaalty of slandering her elaracter, and bed tires gone so far as to say to enelle. Tibbs—" Aye, Charley Claim s has got her at last..bist he has asap got my Aft." !" " Ois what a story l” again 4 Antins‘ab—d,', yaw Wor ship, I never said any Web thing- AU I said was as this • tb at Charley Chivers had a little Its* by Betsy little Bets; y ol know; -- I forgot her name—bat he had a little bobby by her; and all lad was that it was a very gnat •sbame. And se k was your Worship—now wasn't it T—'specially when be was come a courting to Charlotte?" Mr. Cldvers said this was of a piece with Aminadab's other ciao. dens. " Bat," added be, " I beat him for slandering my safe ; and I hops year Worship will think he deserved k." The Magistrate told Mr.Oziven that, however he might be pro. yoked by Mr. Martin, he was not to take the law into his own , bands , and beat him. He might have bad his action for slander, an d I there was no doubt he would have obtained justice. " Justice !" exclaimed Andnadab ; " bis not justice he watts, your World!). Be wants to knock sae aboat Ina as be would a dog ; for when he came up to me so wegeosisty in the street, i said to him,' Can't it be done without/W*oe there's juoi be had without that,' said I; he said,' jturice / give j'att . .re to puppy dogs! I'll bare satisfaction.' " Mr. Cbarles Chivers was now proceeding to enter into an expla nation of this very irreverent exclamation of his, but the Magistrat e diamissed the matter by recommending Mr. Aminadab Martin to restrain his tongue, and Mr. Chinks Chiyen to keep his fits to himself ; and, in order that the said Charles might remember tb. recommendation, he directed that the warrant should be suspendtd over him is tamest. M A It A-BONNE OFFICE. James Owen, a Gentleman of fashionable appearance, was brought to this Office, in custody of Staples, on a Bench warrant, charged with a gross libel on George Frederick Sampson, chemist, of Craw ford-street, Portman-square. This Gentleman had evaikti the of ficers with surprising desterity, shifting his quarters every other day, but at last he was captured in Quebec-street, New Road. Ile was committed in default of ►ail till the Sessions. • Dyson, well known on account of the transaction that took place some time since on the Thames in a boat, whma a young wo man in his company was drowned, and be was tried for it at the Old Bailey, was brought to this Office by Stowell, chrrged with as saulting a young woman named Keeble, of No. 6, York-buildirv, New-road, with an attempt to commit a rape. The CX&MitlatiVl was private. After a considerable time taken up in the investigation, he was ordered to find bail, himself In SOL and two sureties in 251. e4:11 which not being able to procure, he was sent to prison. STRIOCR OT eau &WILMA ICRILS.—Thomas Smith was chdtged rncier an Aet of the last Sessions of Parliament, with intimidating jou nity men from working for a Mr. Paulson, a ladies shoemaker in Ox ford-street. Mr. P. has reduced the prices of his work, and numbers of the journeymen have not only themselves refused to work fqr him, but have interdicted others, and placed a watch on his door to prevent men from being employed. On Friday evening a young man, who had taken a pair of shoes from the shop to make, was stopped by the prisoner, who told him he must nct work for that shop, and he therefore returned with the shoes, aid stated bis reasaa for so doing. Mr. Paulson immediately went out andapprebended the prisoner.—Mr. Mauro attended for the prisoner, and took as objection to the Magistrate's jurisdiction, because no information had been filed, and the case stands over till to-morrow. THAMES POLICE J. Clap Lson was fined 31. for having 351bs. of lead is his posses sion,whieh was supposed to have been stolen. I he property was found in his inerpressiNes, suspended by a cord from the waistband. Tuesday, a fine young man belonging to an gnglish family of the name of M'Kennin, residing at Boulogne, whilst bathing there, was unfortunately drowned. On the 10th instant three Whiteboys entered a farm house neat Ballyhoura, close to the neare,t post, at ele ven, P.M. and demanded 11. for the assistance of the pi toners in Cork jail; the farmer said he had no money is the house; they repeated their demand with threats of burning his house, and of houghing his cows if he re fused. They-were armed, the first with a gun, a second with a scythe, and the third with a brace of pistols. Two went down to his fields to maim his cows, and left the other as sentinel near the house; the farmer slipped out a little girl to alarm a neighbour and get assist ance,, when three or four came up with pitch fries, and surrounded the fellow, until a party of the 22d regi ment, who were sent for, came down, and secured him with his gun. lie proves to be a labourer of Mr. She:- lock's, who lives near the detachment barracks, from whom the gun was stolen two years ago. He was com mitted for the Assizes—the other two escaped. A gang of swindlers, assuming the garb and appear. ance of horse-dealers,is now infesting Bath. They fre quent the public-houses, where, under pretence of lily loc o and selling horses among each other, they exhibit Ras:, notes to large amounts; and if there should be a coun tryman or stranger present, they invite him to drink, and when affected by the liquor so pressed u p on hi m , they propose some subtle wager or nefarious game, whereby the unwary dupe is*swiudled out of his pro perty. If these arts fail, their victim will nevertheless be robbed by other means. On Friday they intoxicated and afterwards robbed a Frenchman, an artificial florist, of eight sovereigns. They were on Saturday appre hended, and taken before the Magistrates.; but there not being sufficient evidence to commit them, they were again let loose to prey upon the credulous. They prove to be old offenders. At Lower Summer-hill, countyii\Vezford, the Lady of Major Dundas, of a son. _ At Portsmouth, the Lady of Captain Frederick Thomas, R. N. of a daughter.
