I I •:-..w w..-. $. - _ SPLENDID HOSPITALITY. A LETTER FROM PRINCR TO M. DR (Vide our Guildhall Report last Saturday.) I went (more fool I, you will presently say.) To dine at Guildhall, on the last Lord Mayor's-day; I thonOt to see plenty of all that was good, But found greater plenty of eaters than food. The wines, though the best which were (there) to be had, The newapapers, truly, have hinted were bad ; But I, as I would not cause anger or pain, Said nothing of gooseb'rry, while drinking Champagne! Whatever in England Is heard of, or seen, Has something or other, to do with marine; My Lord's knives and forks, it was told me, in scores Were bought from a dealer in old marine stores. A mighty expense such a dinner must cause, The giver, of course, looks for fame and applause ; But your bosom, like mine, will with anguish be throbbing, To learn that the cost was made greater by robbing! The miscreants bad surely ceased wholly to feel, Who spoons, of wrought-iron, attempted to steal; But things in this country have come to that pass, That varlets purloin my Lord's Mansion-house glass ; And one rogue secured by the City police, Had two splendid castors, worth/out-pence a piece; Being just as they came from the second-band shops, With spick and span new plated Brummagem tops ! I never beheld, since the day I was born, Such a fork as I had, for it's handle was horn ; So dirty, you scarcely would touch it with tongs, And three iron pegs fastened in it for prongs ; Such a thing had not often been seen even there, I saw one or two of the Aldermen stare, And heard say, " the dinner, the Lord Mayor's Day to keep, In the West will be nick-named the feast of East agape I could not get on, I must frankly declare, With such ale-house, or shabby restaurateur's fate ; Again and again, did I wish dinner o'er, For beggarly splendour's a horrible bore; And so, when my Lord, with intent to speak fine, Bawled—" Prince, you do nothing—here's goose, will you dine r. " No, thank ye," said I, with a dignified frown, " do nothing more—l'm already dew—Brom I" London, Nov. 11. r SQUIRRELS. It is a curious circumstance, and not generally known, that most of these Oaks which are called spontaneous, are plarsted by the squirrel. This little animal has performed the most essential service to the British Navy. A Gentleman walking one day in the woods belonging to the Duke of Beaufort, near Troy House, in the county of Monmouth, his attention was diverted by a squint!, which sat very composedly upon the ground. He stopped to observe his motions; in a few moments the squirrel darted like lightning to the top of a tree, beneath which he had been sitting. In an instant he was down, with an acorn in his mouth, and began to dimensions, he stooped down, and deposited. the acorn; then cowering it, he darted up the tree again. In a moment he was down again with another, which he buried in the same manner. This he continued to do as long as the observer thought proper to watch him. The industry of this little animal is directed to the pur pose of securing him against want in the winter; and it is probable that his memory is not sufficiently re tentive to enable him to remember the spot in which he deposits every acorn; the industrious little fellow, no doubt, loses a few every year : these few spring up, and are destined to supply the place of the parent tree.— Thus is Britain, in some measure, indebted to the in dustry and bad memory of a squirrel for her pride, her glory, and her very existence. Some of our contemporaries have, it appears (as a jest cresprit, we presume), announced the getting up of a petition at Nottingham against Bachelors. The French Journalists, in their simplicity, have taken this account au pied de lettre. The following notice of it we copy from the Etoile of Saturday: di A great number of pe titions are in preparation in England to be presented to Parliament, which is immediately to meet. Amongst the most singular is that of the young Ladies of Not tingham, who have met and signed an address, calling upon the Government aids Britannic Majesty to impose a tax upon all bachelors of more than 25 years of age. Their object, they add, is to compel these egotists to cites into the holy bands of matrimony, and thus to ac complish the wise decrees of FIiOTIDENCE: Jesse FOOT, EsQ.—So long known, and so de servedly esteemed in the medical world, died a few days ago at Ilfracombe, Devonshire. He had reached- his 83d year, and retained his faculties and good humour to the last. He was born at Charlton, in Wiltshire, of a family ancient and respectable, and a branch of the same family as that of the celebrated Samuel Foote, though he did not annex the final si to his name. He was a sound Latin scholar. On his first coming to London he became apprentice to his track, a respect. able Apothecary in Hatton-garden; but finding himself superior in capacity and knowledge to his master, he entered at the Loudon Hospitals for the Study of Sur gery, and became a Pupil of Dr. Fordyce, for the at tainment of Chemical knowledge. He went early in life upon a particular inissi• n to the Island of Nevis, and afterwam ds to Russia, where, passing an examina tion in the Latin tongue, under Professor Pallas, he sr as admitted as a Pr iv ileged Practitioner at the College of Sr. l'etersburgh, where the Russians were in want of good English Surgeons. Mr. Foot had every en c toagement to remain in Russia, but he was anxious to return to his own country ; and after undergoing an examination at Surgeons Hall, under the celebrated Percival Pott, whose talents he held in the highest vene ration, he became House Surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital, then in a very floutishing state. He soon after commenced practice for himself in Salisbury street, Strand, and afterwards in Dean -street, Soho, here he resided for many years, and by his various professional publications and successful practice, made a distinguished figure, and acquired a handsome for tune. He, however, from motives of humanity, as well as It:ye for his profession, continued in practice, ti.l he resolved, at a very advanced age, to depute himself for the remainder of his life to retirement and leisure. He then purchased an annuity of Government, and about four sears ago fixed his residence at Ilfracombe. His protession.ll reputation, however, accompanied him, and he was consulted by most distinguished families in the county. He was followed to the grave by his of th e most respecta b le i n h a bi tants nephew, and many of Ilfracombe and its vicinity, At Doncaster Statute on Tuesday, there were many servants of both sexes, but hale hiring effected, high w2ges being demanded. GRAHAM STEAM-PACKET. 4.81 MK fin NULL ADYIRTTIIII, NOV. 10. The following is a list of the sufferers, as far as can be at presept ascertained : John Cundill, a Baptist Minister, of South-street, in this town, leaving a wife and three children. He formerly lived at Saffron Walden, and lately published a small pamphlet, entitled I. Reasons for Renouncing Unitarianism." William Millins, sea man of Scarborough. This man was recently employed on board the United Kingdom, but had been paid off while she was in the Humber, and was coming up to Hull in the Graham. He had stepped on board the United Kingdom just before the accident happened. The four following are known to have been lost over board. We fear others have perished in the same man ner:—Richard Jenney, about fifty, who was for many years a driver of a stage coach from Louth to Grimsby. He had lately accompanied the packet, backwards and forwards, with a fruit basket, &c.—John Blowe, an elderly man, well known here as owner of a luggage boat, which passed regularly from this port to Grimsby. He has left eleven children.—John Potter, of Grimsby, coal porter, who has also left a very large family.— John Wray, a cabinet maker, of Carr-lane, in this town. He had been at Grimsby, to obtain a situation as fore man, and has left a pregnant wife and three children. The following individuals are amongst those injured, some of them very severely; but all, we hope, are out of danger :—Mr. and Mrs. Capes, of Drypool ; Mr. Tarr, merchant, of High -street, in this town; Mr. Acril, coach proprietor, Louth; W. Johnson, joiner, Loath ;W. Thompson, pipe ma ker, Louth ; Captain Atkinson, of the Providence Good latent; Charles Wa rner, joiner, Kirton. - HULL &DMUS= Of TIC; Foaa s.x.. The Coroner's Inquest was resumed at elevea o'clock this morning. The Jury retired a little after two P.M. and have this moment returned a verdict of ig Man slaughter" against Jacob Urwin, the engineer of the Graham, and Richard Clay, jun. the acting agent and part owner of the Graham. COURT HOUSE, LEEDLTUeScIays William Farrah, a hair-dresser, was convicted in the penalty of ss. for following his worldly occupation on a Sunday. At the same time, James Greaves, a waterman, was also convicted in the like penalty and costs, for being found working on the Sabbath. On the evening of Mond4y fortnight, as the Rev. Mr. Lockhart, of Stone, was proceeding to London, in his gig, he was accosted near Kilburn turnpike by a person who appeared in haste, who stated that he had lost the coach to town, and requested to be accommodated with a seat in the gig. Mr. Lockhart declined affording the accommodation required, and increased his speed, al though the applicant continued for some time to run by his side, and to repeat his urgent request. When Mr. Lockhart arrived in town, he found that the box of his gig had been opened behind, and his portmanteau taken away. There is no doubt the applicant was thus en grossing the attention of Mr. Lockhart, while a confe derate was committing the robbery. Mrs. Luffe, of Chichester, who died suddenly lately, had contrived, unknown to her husband, to secrete nearly 1,0001: in gold and silver, the knowledge of ' which she had only imparted to a young man, who, in case of her death before her husband, was to insist on his settling it on their only son, before he was to be made acquainted with the spot, where the hidden trea sure was concealed; and on his agreeing to do so, the place was pointed out, and proved to be behind the wainscot in their bed-room. A singular and novel sight was presented in several of the streets in Edinburgh, on Monday sednight. A Gentleman undertook for a considerable wager to ride from Mr. Edwards stable, Thistle•street, and back, again by St. Andrew's-square, Prince'i-street, Chartotte square, and Queen-square, on a horse accoutred with a peculiar saddle, which being upwards of six feet in length, entirely covered the animal's back. This sad dle, which is of very curious construction, richly orna mented, and altogether a specimen of rare workman ship, we are credibly informed, was the property of the late celebrated Iturbide, ex-Emperor of Mexico, and personally used by him. The Gentleman performed the task, and thus gained his bet, although not without some uncomfortable sensations from the occasional restiveness of the animal, it being unaccustomed to im perial accoutrements. At an Assize held several years ago, in Leicester, ait unfortunate woman was put to the bar, charged with stealing a mutton pie from the basket of an itinerant vender of those savoury delicacies, at Loughborough. It appeared that the wretched female had been suffer ing long and severely under the pressure of extreme privation and hunger; and that, in a moment of famine, she had snatched the means of prolonging her existence from the basket of her prosecutor. When she was brought up for trial, her offence was stated, and Mr. Justice Gaon, with great warmth, inquired how long she had been in confinement, and who had committed her ? He was told that she had been imprisoned five months, and that she had been committed by the Rev. Mr. —, of Thurcaston. " The Rev. Mr. --," said Mr. Justice GRORZ, " I wish there was not a Parson on the Bench ; discharge the woman immediately." Beverley Fair, on Monday last, was thinly supplied ' with cattle of every description. Lean stock sold exceedingly heavy, but fat stock and good horses met with ready sale. The sittings for the hiring of servants were held the following day. Al though the attendance of servants was great, we understand that few hirings took place. LEEDS FA I R.—The Winter Fair commenced on Wed-1 nesday. The show of cattle was very poor, and but small in num ber; the few cattle that were sold fetched good prices. The above observations will apply to the Horse Fair also. Many novelties, for the amusement of young folks, were exhibited. A great num. bee of expert coseveyauers poured into the town on this occasion. YORK Fonrsictrr FAIR, Nov. 9.—We were again well supplied with beasts and sheep t there was but little alteration in the prices from our last. Fair, and excepting those quite fat, the demand was very indifferent. The following were the prices:— prime beef 6s. 64. to 6s. 9.1. per cone; inferior ditto ss. 9d. to 6s. ; good mutton 54. per lb. ; interior 44. to 41d.; hog lambs 13s. to 1 Ss. a bead. • _ _ hlelk sham market on Monday was very largely supplied, and the sale comparatively dull. Beef, 9s. 6d. to 10.. 6d. per score; mutton, sd. to 6d. per lb. great part unsold.—Det4zes G aze ig e . SPEEDIMAN'S STOMACH PILLS.—A Medicine of re gular Prescription, and established credit, is perhaps one of the mcst safe and efficacious that can be taken at this season of the year, and at all times, for Spasms, Wind in. the Stomach, Nervous Complaints, to promote regular Perapiratfon, in Deficiency of Bile, and in Obstruction of the Bowels, in Hratt Burns, Costiveness, Cholics, Gout, Vomiting., and in lead Aches. On trial, their intrinsic worth will prove their best recommendation; they are par ticularly recommended during the course of Sea Bathing, and drink ing the Sea and Mineral Waters; also for those living in Warm Cli • mates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE: HATTON-0 A RDEN—(Tess Day). JaVIMILI berearmirr.—A fellow, named Jana Clitatiog• was brought up charged with entering the shop of Mr. James Woolfitt, in Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, and stealing therein a valuable time-piece. Elizabeth Wooifitt, a little girl under Ig years of age, daughter to the prosecutor, stated, that about half-past 11 o'clock this morn ing, she bad been on an errand for her mother, and on her re. turn she saw a young man looking through the shop window, whistling; and, on her getting into the shop, she saw the prisoner behind the counter, with the time-piece that was always kept bang- ins up, in his hand. Witness seized him by the skirts of the coat,' and held hint as well as she was able, and called out, " Father, I father, here's a thief !" Her father was in the parlour. The pri soner, however, before her father came to her assistance, extricated himself from her hold, dropped the time-piece, and ran away as fast as he could. Her father however pursued him, and came up with him in Leigh-street, and took him into custody. Mr. Woolfitt said, that on hearing his daughter cry out, he looked into the shop and saw the prisoner run out: he pursued him and took him into custody. Had it not been for his child's courage, he would have carried off the property. The prisoner denied the charge, and he was committed. A &vacs ASSAULL—Elizabeth Savage, was charged with a most brutal assault on the person of a Mr. Marlborough, and tearing one of his teeth out of his head It appeared that the plaintiff had summoned the defendant to the Court of Requests, and having obtained the decision of the Com missioners in his favour, the defendant attacked him most violently, and actually tore one of his teeth from his gums, besides inflicting sundry blows in his face. She was directly held to bail. Yesterday, Heart' Day was committed, charged by Wm. Richard son, of Southampton-crescent, Euston-square, with stealing a suit of clothes on the 24th of October. Prisoner rented the first floor in complainant's house, and, in less than an hour after taking pos. session, had opened a drawer, and decamped with the articles; leaving, by way of equivalent, a bundle of straw in a handkerchief. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Smith, the person who it will be remembered attended last week before the Lazo M*voa, to prefer a charge against For rester the blarshalman,• came to the Mansion - house yesterday morning, attended by Mr. Harmer, the solicitor. Forrester being at the time in the Justice Room, his Lordship proceeded with the further investigation of the case. Mr. Smith repeated his former statement, and said he had wit. nesses present who could prove that he was not intoxicated. Loan Maroa—l think when you were here last you did not exactly know your own opinion on that subject. Mr. Conway said, that he saw Mr. Smith abort half past eleven (Nosh, and he was not intoxicated ; be certainly was a little elevated. Forrester said that he was called by Mr. Cope to remove a drunken person from the hustings; be was at the time in the lobby of the Hall, and on going to the hustings, be requested Mr. Smith to retire in the most civil manner ;he refused, and said he would not leave the hustings ' unless by force; consequently he was compelled to remove him by main force. All that he did was in the execution of his duty. The complainant maintained that he was suitably dressed. The suit consisted of a blue coat, which, cut and make, looked as if it had cost as much as ,C 2 in Monmouth -street; a pair of drab inexpres siblesi of the same cut and colour as those mostly worn by stage coachmen ; and an enormous pair of boots, not Hessian or top boots, but between jack boots and " mud pipes." His cravat was high, with a corresponding tie, and amplitude of collar; his face and figure bespoke a man who would do Justice to any beef or beer that could be found on the occasion. Mr. Cope—The Gentleman who called Forrester to remove Mr. Smith said that he never saw an officer do his duty better. The Loan Mayon owed it to Forrester to say, that be had con ducted himself in the most proper manner. Mr. Cope; after a few minutes conversation with Mr. Smith, ap pealed to his Lordship, and said, that kir. Smith had been calling him a liar and a rascal. His LOIMISIP said, that it was no business of his, and the parties left the room in high weeds. Two officers, named Lucas and Itatatins, were charged with having committed an outrageous assault ution a carman, named Stone, who is In the employment of Messrs. Thompson, No. 62, Upper Thames-sfreet, and who had endeavoured to pass a turnpike with his cart, after having said that his master, who came behind, would pay for him. The constables, be said, knocked him off the horse, and beat hint with their staves when on the ground, till be was insensible. As it appeared, however, that he had struck them first, the Loan Maros said the parties mi ght be indicted, but' that he would not hold them to bail. The defendant's master then expressed his de termination to indict. GUILDHALL: Mixes Carlton was charged with knowingly uttering base coin. She had bargained for a sheep's heart on Saturday, at Mr. Tadd's, butcher, In Lorwyne, and tendered a bad shilling in payment. -Being s - uspectet, from - her manner, she was searched, asicilifteeu counterfeit shillings and ten bad sixpences were found in a pocket tied on so as to hang at her back. She carried a small basket, from the contents of which it was suspected also that she had just before been making trilling purchases at eight different shops.—Her de fence was, that she had picked up a pocket, containing the whole of this base coin, a few minutes before, in a court in Lontiane.— Remanded. Patrick Meredith was committed, for stealing a piece of sirloin of beef, about ifilb. from another butcher in Long-lane, on Saturday. He advanced to the window, and carried away his prize in the . . most open and unembarrassed way, walking away to the end of the lane, quite at ease, before the robbery was discovered. When seised he pretended to be drunk; and be now insisted that be recollected nothing of the matter. Seven or right persons were fined Ss. each, foe being drunk and troublesome in the streets on Sunday. BOW-STREET. Several warrants having been issued at this Office to apprehend certain persons who have recently been engaged in smuggling in the countref Kent, and in acts of violence towards the Revenue O. cers, Sir R. Blame yesterday placed the warrants in the hands .1 Ruthven, one of the principal officers, and at the same time be addressed the officer in the following words :—" Ruthven, on your anival in Kent, it will be your duty to apply to some ilagistrate to back the warrants, and be sure you do not apply to one of the Magistrates of the Cinque Ports, lest the object you have in view be thwarted by the party giving information to the persons accused ; as was the case in a very recent instance; bet go before some of the Magistrates of the county, who are, I believe, most of them honourable men." Ruthven replied, that he should strictly adhere to the order of ,the Magistrate. Sir RICHARD Btattre said that it•was important to the furtherance of justice that be should do so, because very recently, when Bond, the officer, went into Kent with a warrant to apprehend a smug. gler, on g oing before the Mayor of to get the warrant backed, he was detained for some time; and the Mayor', during the interim, gave information to the wife of the person accused. who Immediately absconded. Sir R. thaws said that he had affidavits in his pos session proving the truth of what he had stated. MARY-LA.BONNE. S. Oakingleans, J. Hunt, Mary Anne Page, and Mary Howe, were re-cxamined, charged with robbing and malt reating a man unknown in Gunnersbury.lane, on Thursday Night, who afterwards went to the Star and Garter, at Kew Bridge Foot, and having related his disaster, was put to bed, whence he clandistinely departed early the neat morning„,aud notwithstanding the most sedulous inquiry, has not since been heard of; in consequence of which, the prisoners were again remanded, to give time fora still further inquiry: [then applied for a warrant, which was granted . .+The pri.on•r, oa being requested to return the money and receive his planer of Paris plums back again, replied, " what, who ever heard of ewe leers. turning money?" Finally he came to a settlement with his accuser, and was set at liberty. UN lON. H A I.L. Yesterday a young man, dressed in the habit of a (baker, named .6ablo Ammon, was brought before the sitting Magisrrate, It I. Cuassaas, Saq. charged with being drunk on the preceding night, and while in that state, endeavouring to interrupt the devotions of the congregation assembled at St. Saviour's Church, dustog the evening service. Gale, the beadle of St. Saviour's parish, stated, that on Sunday evening, while standing at the entrance into the above Church, the defendant, who was intoxicated, staggered up the step*, and was going bolt into the Church, without even taking offish hat, when he fortunately caught him by the skirts of the coat and pulled him backs The Quaker seemed to be a great deal annoyed at this interruption, snd cried out in a voice that reverberated through the aisles edit Church, and which must have been heard by the congregatiun f " Friend, thou haat no right to stop me from entering into this house' of prayer; I came out with the intention of attending your mode of worship, and in I must and ihall go, and thou shalt nut be an im pediment in my way." So saying,lie rushed by the beadle towards the door leading into the body of the Church,and, in the attempt, fell pro• strate on his face and hands along the stone pavement. Galesaid;ong would have imagined that such a hard tumble would have effectually cooled the Quaker's spirit for that evening at any rate, but no-...he raised himself up, and having got upon his legs, made another effort to go into the Church. The beadle, however, a second time pre: vented him, arguing the impropriety and sin of a m ,n of his cloth intruding himEell into a house of worship while in a state of drunk., enuess. " What,"said the Quaker, "Me drunk, why then, thou art the drunkard thyself, and cannot see not of thine eyes, if thou sayest lam the man." In fact, added Gale, I was under the ne cessity of giving him into the charge of a watchman, and he was taken off to the watchhouse. Mr. CHAMBERS-1 hope be was kept there until he bream: sober, The beadle said, that he understood one of the defendant** owa persuasion bailed him out in the course of the night. The Magistrate then asked the defendant, who is a sedate, and rather respectable looking young man, what profession or husinese he followed? _ _ The defendant replied, that he was in the service of Messrs. Fry and Chapman, of St. Mildred's-court. Mr. CHAMBIULS having given him a lecture on the eitreme im propriety of his conduct, in attempting to enter any place of wor. ship while in the state that he was described by the btadie, ordered him to pay a fine of ss. to the King for bring drunk, and to give the watchmahNvho conveyed him from the Church to the matchhouse, half.a-crown for his trouble. The defendant, who still appeared to be labouring und .r the effects of the previous night's debauch, paid the price of his folly, and was discharged by the Magistrate observing, that if lie perse vered in such habits, it would soon lessen him in the estimation of his brethren. As soon as the above case was disposed of, a dirty looking fellow, having his clothes coveted with dry mud, was pl4ted at the bar, on a charge pretty similar to that in which the Quaker was concerned. Gale, the beadle, said, that very soon after the Quaker was carried off to the watchhouse, the defendant, who it appears is a coal•porter, and had been indulging himself at a public•house close by, came roaring drunk up to the Church.doors, and wanted to gain admittance. The beadle perceiving the fellow was drunk, and that he had been rolling in the kennel, his clothes, hands, and face being covered with wet and mud, desired bins to get along home. The defendant stood arguing at the door, as to the right of entrance, to the very great annoyance of many persons, who could i not pass on without coming in contact with his filthy garments, a touch of which• was enough to contaminate any decent suit of clothes. The beadle finding there was no use in expostulating with the defendant, sent him off, in charge, after the quaker to the watchhouse. He was not, however, so fortunate as his fellow ' prisoner, to obtain hail for his appearance, and was therefore kept the whole night in confinement. The Magistrate taking the last mentioned circumstance imn con sideration, discharged the defendant on paying the fine to the King Tint Gnu. urn ass GaLtativ.—A young waterman, named Wallis, and a servant girl named Harriet ily worth, were put to the bar on the following charge: Mr. Smith, the master of the female defendant stated, that on Sunday night, while he and his family were at supper in the parlour, the door being ajar, the street door was softly opened, and after wards they beard the footsteps of some persons glide along the paw sage and up stairs. They did not immediately proceed to ascertain the cause, but procured the assistance of a watchm .n, and on going up stairs, the male defendant was found lying in the servant girl's bed. Mr. Smith added, that at first he suspected the felltrw bad entered the house for the purpose of committing a robbery, but the female defendant had subsequently acknowledged that she had admitted him to partake of her bed, and he accordingly gave them both into custody. The female seemed to be so much ashamed during the recital of her amour, that she held down her head, and covered her face with ' her shawl. The Magistrate observed, that as it was evident no felony was intended, he should discharge the parties ; and added, that the com plainant was perfectly right in giving them a night's lodging in the watchhouse. Mr. Smith intimated his intention of discharging the girl from his service. A dish of green peas was gathered last week at Titchfield, Hants. Saturday, at an early hour in the morning, four men were returning from a party in the neighbourhood of Edgehill, Liverpool, viz. two waiters and two musi. cians. Of the latter, one carried a harp in a bag over his shoulder; the other, a violoncello in a case under his arm. Just as they had passed tl•e church-yard at Edgehill, they were espied by " a charley," and, at once suspected as a party of " body snatchers," alias " resurrection men." " Ho! Ho!" thoughtWatchey to himself, " I have ye now," and followed the party with such an air of suspicion, as made them sensible that he had •' mark'd them for his own." They halted; and more in pity for the fatigues of the worthy guardian of the night, than in fear of the watch-house, desired the harper to " sound A," and at once convince their vigi lant follower that they had not been making free with a •6 dead subject," but rather raising the spirits of the living, and that of the party none were incapab!e of speech—not even the subject in the sack. " Mus:c bath charms to soothe the savage breast !" The watch- Man, at once arrested by the note, stoni and gazed surveying them more in envy that in anger, and suffered them, to proceed without further explanation. PRICES or HAY •ND STRAW YESTERDAY.

THAMES POLICE Israel Martin, a fashionably dressed Jew, with a pair of flourish. ing whiskers, of a very complaisant and obsequious deportment, was put to the bar, charged under the following circumstances ; Mrs. Ann Warren, the wife of a Captain of a vessel, stated, that her husband being at sea, and anxious to add to the allowance which she received from him, she had opened a little confectionary shop in Lambeth . ; the first day she had done so, the prisoner at the bar entered the shop with a tin box on his head, and dressed in a fustian jacket and trousers; he took the box from his head and requested her to look at his goods, which consisted of sugar plums, peppermint drops. barley sugar, &c. which she did; he then requested her to buy some of them ; this sbe refused; however after much entreaty she consented to buyfive bags of confectionary, consisting of sugar plums, &c. at Bs. 3d. a bag. Shortly after he left the shop, a friend of hers, a Mr. Roman, came in and asked her if she bad bought anything from the man he had seen coming out of the shop ? She said that she had. He said that he was sure she was cheated—she then &hewed him the goods; he asked her how "much per lb. she gave fur them? she replied 9.11. 9.l.—he said that 9d. per lb. was the usual price for the best; to be more satisfied she took the five bags to Mr. English, a respectable confectioner in the Borough, who, on examining them, found the interior of the sugar plums consisted of plaster of Paris— the usual price, Mr. English told her, was 9d. per lb. She then made every effort to discover the prisoner, but without effect, until her friend, Mr. Roman, told her where he was to be found. She i MAILS= AU. DOt.
