This publication is calculated to afford too much in struction to be allowed to pass without a farther ex tract. —Let us return with the author to London. He now engaged with a Mr —, a baker, in St. John's-street, Clerkenss ell. This seems to have been the only master with whom he ever worked who did not deserve an hour's hanging. " Perhaps,' " said he, " ' you are sur- Fised, James, that I do not defraud my customers of , I.le tat melted in their baked dishes, nor suffer my man to cut their lean meat. It was what my master before rue would not permit, and I shall follow his example.' In all his other dealings he was just and upright. My master had an aversion to the serving either a doctor, a lawyer, or a butcher. I asked him his reasons for it? lle answered, dames, I make it a regular rule to exa mine the bills of those I deal with, and I find upon a comparison the balance is always in favour of those men. lIA orked for Mr. -- until he retired from the trade, the end of 1802, and remained with his successor till he tailed and became a bankrupt, in 1803. I was then married, and found employ at a Mr. —, Gray's Inn-lane, Holborn, who used potatoes in his bread, which was now become an universal practice in the trade. " The master-bakers were sworn before the Lord Mayor not to adulterate the bread, under a heavy pe nalty on conviction, who compelled them once a week to send, sealed up to his Lordship, the number of sacks "of flour bought respectively by each baker, the vender's name, and price given, and this to be at the Mansion- House on Saturday, before eleven o'clock in the fore noon; and the millers also, in like manner, the number of sacks sold, to whom, and at what price. " The miller and baker, however, soon understood Bach other, and after the average of the market was taken, they agreed upon a drawback on each sack be tween buyer and seller, which is the cause of the quar tern loaf being three farthings more than the real ave rage of the market. This is certainly an evasion of the law, and a specimen to prove that human laws ate in competent to prevent determined iniquities. Our oven held fourteen bushels of bread, which made two hun dred and twenty-four quartern loaves; and our custom was to use three kinds of flour, varying in price as much as ten shillings on the sack, with which we made the best bread. We made use of ninety-five pounds of po tatoes. The quantity of yeast depended on its thicken ing quality, with half a bushel of the best flour. The pc tatoes, when washed, are put into :wo wrought-iron pots, with lids that fit close, and sufficient water to cover the bottoms ofthe pots, which ate put into the oven, where they remain one hour and a half, or more, ac cording to the oven's heat; when they are sufficiently done, a large tub, called the seasoning -tub, receives them, and a smaller tub placed over them, which tub is called a strainer, and has a copper bottom with holes pierced like a strainer or cullender. The potatoes are mashed or bruised with a piece of wood like a mallet, tl:e heavier the better, which is worked until the whole of the potatoes pass through the cullender, %%bids may be performed by the mallet and the man's hands in two minutes. After which a certain quantity of water, hot • or cold, according to the temperature of the weather and the heat of the bakehouse, with about half a bushel of the finest flour, with yeast according to its thickness and quality, are put into the seasoning -tub, which, when perfectly mixed, the fermentation begins, which rises, if the yeast be good, after an elapse of five mi nutes, one inch er minute, forming a kind of cauli flower, until the fermentation ceases, when it falls, leav ing the composition mark round the tub. This process lasts about half an hour, when it is emptied into the baker's trough with more water, and' mixed with a bushel and a half more of good flour, so as to make the mixture into a kind of soft dough ; it is then called quarter sponge. The regular period for this quarter sponge to be in fermentation is an hour and a half, and never to exceed two hours, when the composition falls, like as in the first fermentation: when as much water more as first used in the incipient fermentation and quarter sponge is added, with a pound of salt, and as much flour more as to make slack dough, which is called half sponge. This fermentation is slow in its progress, it requiring full six hours before it is fit to mix into dough. When ready it must be mixed with an equal quantity of water, as in the other processes, its temperature being governed by circumstances, and according to the appearance of the sponge, to which is added ten pounds of salt and twenty-tour ounces of alum. But if the flour is prime, a less quantity of the above ingredients may be used, and according to its badness a greater quantity must be added. The dough is finished by the worst flour, and only one master I served used the best flour in finishing: but this was only on Saturday, and his reason was that the walking people and tradesmen made their visits on Sunday, and the Sunday bread being older than the bread of any other day, it was more requisite; and as the chief con versation turns, in visiting parties, about the quality of the bread, he observed, he gnt many new customers by snaking better lat ead than usual for Sunday consumption." On one occasion he assisted a contract baker in mix ing the 'composition employed for bread with which the militai y were supplied in a certain districr.--t It con sisted of seconds, middlings, sharps, tailings, blues, oats, beans, peas, barley, rye, car avanseras, and old condemned ships' stores, decayed and dressed through a.machine, sea-water being substituted for salt. The bakery was newly beilt, and conveniently situated, close to a small arm of the sea,-which supplied us with sea water instead of salt. 4 g Again allow me to revert to the subject of using sea water instead of salt. The contractor, in forming his ten der, is allowed by Government for the use of salt, and Government has a right to calculate that this item will revert to the State by the consumption of it in bread ; but here are twenty thousand men, who are sup posed at least to consume three hundred and thirty-six pounds of salt daily, and which would have cost the contractor five pounds sterling a day, using bread with out a grain of salt in it !—This juggle, this fraud on the Revenue, I want terms to express my opinion of." It appears from the statements of this honest man, that the contracts for bread generally pass through three hands at least (which is quite contrary to law). He gives the following table of the deductions on pro fits on each loaf to the various contractors : Price stipulated Sid. First contractor's profit • 7i First sub-coatFaCtOt b .. ~ •A .." 7 .'

WEIGHTS AND MEISURES. -..■■0.-.. Among the many useful measures that passed in Par liament last Session, not the least important is "An Act for ascertaining and establishing uniformity of weights and measures" in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. As all our Readers are more or less into- rested in this Statute, we lay before them the following account of it " After Ist May, 1825, a measure referred to as being in the custody of the Clerk of the House of Commons, is declared to be. the 16 Imperial standard yard," and shall be the only standard measure of extension, from which every measure in the kingdom, whether lineal, superficial, or solid, shall be computed and ascertained; one-third part of the said standard yard shall be a foot, the twelfth part of the said foot shall be an inch; five and a half such yards a pole or perch, 220 such yards a furlong, and 1760 such yards a mile. Superficial mea sure shall be computed from the said yard ; the rood of land to contain 1210 square yards, the acre 4840 yards, being 100 square perches, poles, or rods. " After the Ist of May, 1825, a brass weight, also re. ferred to as being in the custody of the Clerk of the House of Commons, is declared to be the " Imperial standard troy pound," from which all other weights shall be derived, computed, and ascertained; one-twelfth therefore shall be an ounce, one-twentieth of such ounce shall be a pennyweight, and one twenty•fourth part of such pennyweight shall he a grain, and 5760 such grains a paand troy; 7000 such grains to be a pound avoirdupois, one-sixteenth of said pound an ounce, and one-sixteenth of such ounce shall be a dram avoirdu pois weigl,t. " After the Ist of May, 1825, a brass measure to be made under the direction of the Treasury, and to con tain 101bs. avoirdupois weight of distilled water, weight in air at the temperature of 62'deg. Fahrenheit, is de clared to be the " Imperial standard gallon," and shall be the only standard measure of capacity, as well for liquids as for dry goods not measured by heaped mea sure, and from which all other measures of capacity shall be computed and ascertained; one.fourth part of said gallon being a quart, one.eighth a pint, and two such gallons a peck, eight such gallons a bushel, and eight such bushels a quarter of corn or other dry, goods not measured by heaped measure. The standard measure of capacity for coals, lime, potatoes, and other goods commonly sold by heaped measure, shall be the afore said bushel, containing eighty pounds of avoirdupois of water as aforesaid, the same being made round, with an even bottom, and being nineteen inches and a half from outside to outside; and in using such bushels for heaped measure, the goods shall be duly heaped in the form of a cone not less than six inches in height, and the outside of the bushel shall be the extremity of the base of such cone; three bushels to be a sack and 12 sacks a chaldron. " Copies and models of the standards of length, weight, and measure, are to be made and verified, under the direction of the Treasury; and the Justices of the Peace for Counties, and the Magistrates of Royal Burghs shall, within six months from the passing of the Act (17th June, 1824) purchase for their respective Counties and Burghs, a model and copy of each of the aforesaid standards, and of each of the parts and multiples thereof; which models and copies shall be placed for safe cus tody and inspection, with such persons and in such places as the Justices may appoint, to be produced at any time and place within the County or Burgh, as any person by a writing under his hand shall require, he paying the reasonable charges of the same. The ex pense of purchasing these models is to be assessed with the land tax on Counties and Burghs. " Where reference cannot easily be had to standards, the Act favours Country Magistrates s,sitlr the follow ing easy practical rule for ascer taininethe measures of capacity. In that case, it shall be lawful to any Magis trate, when the correctness of any measure of capacity is disputed, to ascertain the correctness of such mea sure by direct reference to the weight of pure or rain water which such measure is capable of containing; 101bs. avoirdupois weight of such water, at the tempe rature of 62 deg. Fahrenheit's thermometer being the standard gallon ascertained by this Act, the same being in bulk equal to 277 cubic inches and 271.1000 th parts of a cubic inch, and so in proportion for all parts or multiples of a gallon. 64 After the Ist of May, 1825, all contracts for sale, &c. by weight or measure, shall be holden to rd to to the said standards, unless the contrary is specified ; and if any agreement shall make a reference to any local weight or measures, it shall be null and void, unless the agreement shall specify the ratio or propor:inn which such local weight or measure shall bear to the imperial standard weights or measures. After the Ist of May, 1825, no new weights or measures shall be made, except in conformity with the said standards; but persons may use the existing weights and measures in their possession, provided that the ratio or proportion which such existing weights and measures bear to the standards be painted or marked on the ex isting weights and measures.—The regulations and penalties of former Acts respecting weights and mea sures are declared to apply to the new Act, for enforcing observance to it. " For the purpose of converting all stipends, tents, and other demands presently payable in grain, malt, or other commodities in Scotland into the standard weights and measures established by the Act—the Statute pro vides that the Sheriff of each County shall, as soon as conveniently may be, after the expiration of six months from the passing of the Act, summon a Jury of the same number and qualifications as a Fiars Jury, 4 to inquire into and ascertain the amount according to the standards by this Act established' of all such stipends, rents, &c. payable according to the weights and mea sures in use in the Shire; and the amount so to be as certained shall, when converted into standard weights and measures, be the rule of payment in regard to all stipends, &c. in all time coming." A single pea, which grew in the garden of Mr. James Main, flour-dealer, in Kelso, this season, was lately ga thered, and the produce found to be one hundred and forty pods ; containing biz hundred and eighty-5a peas. a. ... )3.11.01TP04D 41411)0e. •! This Maple a wen' andent straidure,•fotthe maintenance at e wldpn a ventage was granted' by Edward the First, in the year 1240, and afterwards continued by Edward the Third and Richard the Se iond, for limited periods. Though one of the greatest tho roughfares in the' kingdom, its aukerard situation and unskilful conadiction have long been the terror sof the traveller and the reproach of the Magistracy of Middlesex. Serious accidents have frequently happened there, and his late Mussy: had more than once been delayed for a considerable time in his 'progress from Windsor to St. James's. At length these evils are likely to be re medied by the erection of a new bridge at the expense of the county. The Srst stone was laid on Friday last, with the usual ceremony, by Colonel Jams arrnintow, a very active and respectable Magis trate, whose ancestors for . ISt; year* past have resided at Boston House, in the vicinity of Brentford. The band of music belonging to the 7th Hussars preceded the procession; the beadles and high constables led the way, followed by the clergymen of the adjoining parishes. Colonel Cirrnithow followed, supported by Magistrates of the County, the Church wardens of Brentford, Rang, and Isleviorth, and a large number of respectable inhabitants of the several districts, with the petty constables • to preserve order and regularity. After depositing a feir coins, thefirst stone was laid in the usual manner, and a suit able address delivered to a numerous assemblage of both sexes, who attended te witness the ceremony, and . formed • a very interesting spectacle. The national anthem of God save the King" having been played by the band, the procession returned in the same order to the Three Pigeons Inn, where a large party sat down to an elegant dinner, and after many appropriate toasts and songs, the company separated at a late hour, highly gratihcd - with the • pro ceedings of the day. The bridge is to be of One arch, the materials of the best granite, and the style of the whole simple and substantial. The situation, both as respects the current of the river and the direction of the road, is very judicious:* but the approach at the eastern extremity is much obstructed by three or four mean houses on the North side, which, by intercepting the view, and impeding the free access, materially injure the beauty and utility of the bridge. These houses, it is to be hoped, will be speedily removed, and thus render the new bridge a credit to the Magistrate. and the Trustees of the road, and au important advantage to the neighbourhood and to the Public. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Charles AguDer, a letter-carrier, intbe ser vice of the Post-office, was brought before the LORD 14:, toe on the capital charge of having given a forged bond for the correct per fortnance of the duties of his of f ice. _ _ The prisoner was appointed to the office in 1523, having given a bond of 1550, fur the payment of all the dues. Recently be be came in arrears; his bondsmen were applied to, and it was then discovered that the instrument was forged as to one name. The first witness called to prove the forgery was a man named Sparks. He stated that the prisoner some time since asked him to sign a bond, which was to get him (the prisoner) a situation in the Post.ofiice. Witness said he could not write. The prisoner said it would do quite as well if be could get some one to write his name for him. Witness replied he did not think that would do, but he ultimately sent his daughter out to get a person to sign for him. The daughter did go out, and got it signed by a neighbour. Mr. Harmer, on behalf of the prisoner, said it was perfectly ab surd, upon the above facts, to charge him with having uttered a forged bond. The instrument was a valid and recognised instru ment, upon which the Post-oMce might rehuver in an action against the witness. _ - - The LORD 1%141'0R declared his intention not to trust to his view of the case, but to take the advice of the City Law Officers. For that purpose be remanded the prisoner until a future day. GUILDHALL. Yesterday two persons, giving their names as Mr. Four, a con siderable maltster, at Yaxley, hunts, and Mr. Came, a hatter in the Broadway, Blackfriars, were brought up before Sir C. FLOWER, charged with a violent assawit. George Gronett, the patrol, stated, that going round Smithfield on Monday evening, about eight o'clock, he was attracted by the loud screams of some females in Duke-street, where he saw the two prisoners pushing the females in the crowd with such force as to cause them to scream out. Witness came up and remonstrated with them, telling them there was tatfficient room if they would go quietly. Curry then said to the other," Don't mind him, he is one of the Guildhall squad ;" and with that they recommenced their very brutal conduct. He then interfered to take them into custody,, but was knocked down by Curry, his face cut, and his teeth much injured. He eventually secured the prisoners, who behaved very violently at the Compter, and Curry charged the wit ness with robbing him of his watch, and purse containing some sovereigns ; it turned out, however, that the watch was found in his right• hand breeches pocket; and hlr..Cope, the Marshall, saw Curry attempt to slip his purse down behind a table, just at the time he was accusing witness of robbing him of IL—Ordered to find bail. A lad of the name of Banter, was fully committed for stealing a gold shirt pin from a Mr. Fox, opposite Richardson's show.-- There was no pushing at the tittle, but the prisoner deliberately drew it out, and handed it over his shoulder to an accomplice, who made off. rowan was ordered to find bail on a charge of breaking a constable's head with his own staff, for refusing him admission to the Bear and Ragged Staff Singing-room, which was already crammed almost to suffocation. BOW-STREET. Trillion% Dawson, a young man in the dress of a postillion, was brought before Sir R. Brame on Monday night, charged by a Gen tleman of the name of Gordon, residing in Fly-place, Holborn-hill, with robbing him at various times of a large quantity of plate. It appeared in evidence, that about eighteen , months since, Mr. Gordon being in want of a trusty, confidential servant, made in. quiries among his friends, and the prisoner was very strongly re commended to his notice by an eminent silversmith. The prosecu tor treated him with great kindness, and regarded him as an acquisition, until one day in April last, when, by an odd circum stance, his depredations were discovered. On the day in question, Sir J. Gordon, the brother of the prosecutor, dined with the latter, and among other things a pudding was served up. The prisoner, who was in waiting, placed a 'tea' spoon with his plate, upon which Mr. Gordon observed, " William, how is this? are there no dessert spoons in the house 7' William replied not, but disappeared, and in about five minutes returned, almost breathless, and placed a dessert spoon before Ms master, who discovered that it was not one of his own, but was marked with the letter " T." Still look ing at the spoor., he said," Why, William, this is not one of my spoons I' No answer was returned, and looking up, Mr. Gordon found that William had left the room. The bell was rang, but William was not to be found, and Mr. Gordon never saw him again until he was in custody at this Office. Upon an inspection of his plate-closet, Mr. G. found that nearly the whole of his service was gone. Inquiries were made by the police, and a curious sys tem of depredation was discovered. The prisoner had been in the habit of taking• his master's plate in parcels to the pawnbroker's, and when one particulat portion of it was wanted for immediate use, he would take another of about equal value, so as to redeem the first, and keep up his credit with his master. He was in the habit of going to the houses of Mr. Gordon's acquaintances and bor rowing plate, which he pledged to redeem so much of his master's as was wanted for instant use. When on the day of detection Mr. G. asked for a dessert spoon, there was not one In the house, and the prisoner ran to Dr. Tweedie's house, close by, and borrowed one. The shop at which he was chiefly in the habit of pledging was, that of Mr. Reeves, on Snow-hill, who seeing him come so repeatedly with plate, asked him some questions, and he said that his master was a dashing and extravagant young man, who having a service of plate, he was determined to raise money upon it as long as it would last. One Saturday night the prisoner went to Mr. Reeves's shop with a quantity of plate, and with " his master's compliments, begged to have in lieu of It a handsome watch and appendages, " for," said he," my master is going into the country to-morrow to see an old aunt of his, from whom he has great ex pectations, and having been obliged to part with his watch, he wants one to take with him." Mr. Reeves, however, declined to let him have a watch, and ke received motley instead. Within the last two or three days,J. J. Smith, one of the principal officers of this estab lishment, obtained information that the prisoner was serving in the capacity of postillion at the Essex Arms, Watford, Herts, and he apprehended him at that house on Monday. A great deal of the property was produced, and the prisoner was sworn to as the person who pawned it. He bad nothing to say, and was committed for further examination. HATTON-GARDEN. A respectable tradesman (whose name we are induced to with hold) appeared yesterday before Mr. Serjeant Smos, to solicit the Magistrate's advice under the following distressing circumstancer.— The complainant stated, that it was his ill fortune to have speculated in the matrimonial lottery, and had drawn what ultimately proved even worse than a blank ! The fact was, he had married a woman whose temper and disposition, and habits of life,. were completely at e variance much as dome,. ti eomtr e ts; whale Isis Isiswnis . 14 . partner sine so enly hippy when gaddi ng a h mt thewi e o and engaged in the pursuit of expensive pleasure., to the gratificz. eon of which be (complainant)voold not always administer; and in default of so doing, he was always sure to receive a plenteous dis. charge of abuse and invective; indeed, on some occasions, the Lady did not limit herself to a wordy watfare, but had frequent recourse to more forcible, though not more satisfactory arguments. Magistrate—Really, Sir, I feat it IS not in our power to give you redress. Complainant—l wish to know how I should act ? Magistrate—lf you find it impossible to live in amity, by all means separate, and make her some suitable allowance. Oamplainant—That I would willingly do, but she won't con sent to it : her chief pleasure is to make me miserable. Alagistrato--Remonstrate with her friends: a Magistrate has no power to interfere in such a case as your's. Complainant—But could I not take her up on a charge o f r bery ? She has latterly plundered me of various valuable eX ec! -, Mine is, you will allow, Sir, a case of peculiar hardship ; w hy ow don't mind selling an article worth las. for tis. and this is all topur chase what she calls pleasure. Magistrate—The case is, I confess, distressing enough; hat as a wife cannot rob her husband, I do not see how you can with pro . ; priety place her in the situation you seem to wi,h. Complainant (thoughtfully)—Then I can't arrest her? blagistrate--Certainly not, without some distinct charge, Complainant (mournfully)—Thank you, Sir. When drawing from the bar, he heaved a sigh so piteous anal pro. found, as did seem to shatter all his hulk ; and on reaching the door, he once more heaved, and mentally ejaculated " GOD help me !" -- ~_._:_. MARY-LA-BONNE. Ames Baker was brought up on a charge of horse-stealing.-- About one o'clock yesterday morning, it seems, he went intc pasture at Beaconsfield, and selected a capital bay gelding, with which he rode off at full speed. The noise aroused a farmer, who, suspecting what had happened, jumped out of bed, and alarmed his neighbours; and Mr. Rolfe, the owner of the animal, set off in pursuit, upon his best hunter. The thief, however, had the "a.: by at least 12 miles; but stopping to steal another horse at Hayes (about 17 miles from Reacon,field), the property of Mr Kim?, his pursuer gained fast on him, and finally came up with the ma rauder, on Ealing Common, about four o'clock. The thief, findirg he was discovered, made a desperate blow with a bludgeon at Mr. Rolfe, but missed his aim, and after a short struggle w.►s unhorred. He re-mounted, however, on Mr. Kemp's horse, and gallupped off; but after several narrow escapes, and being fired at, he was even itany secured at Acton.—Fully committed. UNION-HALL. • Thomas Jones was charged with having been concerned in a bur glary and robbery at Duntnow, in Essex.—Remanded. Joseph Pitt, the man who was remanded about a fortnight ago on two separate charges of robbery and bigamy, was put to the•bar. The charge of robbery was abandoned, and the two marriagis having been proved to have taken place, be was committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Smuts, piplar, a journeyman silk weaver, was sent to the House of Correction for fourteen day% for leaving a piece of IEO yards of silk, which he had undertaken t• work, unfinished. lie had engaged with another master, and returned the unfinished piece to the complainant. Several days ago, the butler of the Honourable Mrs. MAITLAND MACKOILL, Barham Cottage, while pruning some trees in the shrubbery, had one of his fingers pricked by an old stump, it is said, of the barberry, which, in a short time, became very rwich inflamed, and extended over his whole arm. The inflammation in his finger and arm soon subsided, but was tollowel by the formation of a tumor in the arm-pit, and in flammation in his breast and chest. Medical ai.l called in, when he was copiously bled ; hut nwtvitl3- standing which, the inflammation continued t:) extend over his body, and ultimately occasioned his death on that day week on which his finger received the injury. TIII/NDER. STORNI IN Tug NORTH.—The weather which has, in Yorkshire, lately been so exceedinAly op. pressive with beat, assumed a very different aspect be tween - five and six o'clock on Thursday evening last, about five miles from Darlington, and thence nearly to Northallerton. The overcharged clouds burst arnidst tremendous peals of thunder, and the most vivid flashes of lightning ever remembered. The rain was Inexpres sibly heavy, and it is hoped, 'prevented the lightning from doing much injury, as we have not yet heard of any very serious effects having been produced by it. It is however, worthy of remark, that the passengers in the Shields coach saw the storm at seven miles dis tance, whilst they themselves enjoyed a smiling coun try and a cloudless sky. Sunday last the house and-shop of Mr. Adams, a re spectable broker, living in the London road, St. George's fields, was entered by some thieves, and several bank notes, about 23 sovereigns, and an old guinea, to the amount of nearly 401. together with a quantity of plate and other articles of considerable value, stolen therein. A bee-hive belonging to William Pratt, in Mill of Tifty, parish of Fyvie, swarmed this season so early as the 7tb of June ; which first or top swarm has produced three swarms since, viz. July 14th and 26th, and 2d of August; these swarms have all thriven well; and, if the weather continue favourable for their operations a short time, all of them will be able to stand the winter.
