THE OLD LABOURER. Are you net tired, ob, poor old men? . . .. . The drops are on your brow; Your labour with the sun began, And you are labouring now! " Anurmur not to dig the soil, For I have beard it read, That man by industry and toil, Must earn hit day bread! " The lark awakes 'me with his song, That halls the morning grey, And when I mourn for human wrong, I think of GOD, and pray." Let worldling. waste their time asd health, And try each vain delight, They cannot buy with all their wealth— The labourer's rest at night ! THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT BRIG HTON. .....uni...... ' A circumstance, which has excited the most intense interest here, has occurred at No. 25, New Steine, the re sidence of Maurice Holford Barrow, Esq. The affair has been brought before the Magistracy of this town, preparatory to its investigation in a higher Court. The following is the substance of a statement onoath, made by Mr. Barrow before the Hon. Gents. St. John S. F. Milford, and It. Aldridge, Esirs. on Tuesday last, and which will put our readers in possession of the main facts : That about six weeks since two women, one of whom is called by the name of Mrs. Forrest, came to reside at the house, known as No. 24, New Steine, where, with several other women, one man and one boy servant, they have continued to the present time; that, during the six weeks aforementioned, Mrs. Forrest, and the other woman, did keep and maintain an ill-governed and disorderly. house, and that to the said house evil disposed persons, both men and women of ill fame, did resort, both by day and night for purposes too indelicate to mention, to the great damage and nuisance of the inhabitants residing in the several houses round about, and against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King; and that a ces tain person, calling himself Mr. T. Rams. den, of Manchester-square, London, but now residing in Brighton, did frequent the said house, both by day and night, for the space of one week last past. Such bring the ill-governed state of the house, Mr. Barrow, on Saturday last, caused a placard to be placed in the parlour window of his house, No. 25, New Steine, on which were written the following words: " Beware of the B----1 house, No. 24, New Steine." In conse quence of the exhibition of this placard, Mr. T. Rams den came from No. 24, on Saturday evening, and, re presenting to Mr. Barrow bow vet y unpleasant it was to the ladies at No. 24, to perceive such a notice in his window, requested Mr. Barrow to cause the offensive placard to be removed, and promised that, if Mr. B. would comply with his request, the ladies should quit the house the same evening. Mr. B. answered that he would consider the request of Mr. Ramsden, who pre sented Mr. Barrow with a card, inscribed, " Mr. T. Ramsden, 2, Manchester-square." Mr. Ramsden then left Mr. Barrow's house, and returned to No. 24; and, after some time, returned to Mr. Barrow's, saying, that to still saw the placard in the window, and wished to know if Mr. Barrow intended to remove it? Mr. Barrow replied, that he had considered his request, and bad determined not to remove it till the Ladies bad quitted No. 24, upon which Mr. Ramsden demanded the card he had delivered to Mr. Barrow, which Mr. Barrow left the room for, the purpose of fetching; but recollecting that ,he had written on it Mr. Ramsden's address in Brighton, " York Hotel," and also the name of a Gentleman who had called on him the same even ing to request him to take down the placard, Mr. Bar row refused to deliver the card, but offered to shew it to Mr. R. and to tear it to pieces in his presence. Mr. Barrow then produced the card, of which Mr. R. en deavoured to get possession; a scuffle ensued; but Mr. Barrow succeeded in retaining the card, which he tore to pieces, and, after presenting the fragments to Mr. Ramsden, ordered him to quit his house, which order Mr. Ramsden obeyed, and returned to No. 24. About 11 o'clock that night, Mr. Barrow was informed that the two Ladies had quitted the house, and he therefore immediately took the placard from his window, and re tired to bed Nothing further occurred until the even ing of the next day (Sunday), when Mr. Barrow, hav ing gone up stairs for the purpose of retiring to rest, heard a rap at the door of No. 24, and some one go up stairs. Mr. Barrow immediately went down into his parlour, and saw one of the females come out of the house, and rap at bis own window, saying, " We are not gone yet." 'She was then joined by a person is coloured clothes, who, Mr. Barrow believed, was an Officer of the 52.1 Regiment of Foot, now stationed in Brighton, (he having several times seen him dresied in the uniform of that Regiment). The patty then proceeded to use low and threatening . language to Mr. Barrow, who, thereupon, again placed the placard in his window. Mr. Barrow sat up all' night to watch, lest his windows should be broken by Mr. Ramsden, or some other of the men concerned with the women. About 12 o'clock on Sunday night, Mr. Bounden, accompanied by three other men, two of whom appeared to be Officers in dis guise, came to Mr. Barrow's house, and having rapped and rang at the street door, pressed against it, endea vouring to force it open, and not succeeding, hallooed to Mr. Barrow to let them in, which he refused to do, on which they became very abusive, and used threat ening language for a considerable time, when they went away. About three o'clock on Monday morning, Mr. R. and two of the three men who were there before, returned, and again demanded admittance to Mr. B.'s house, using the most abusive language to Mr. Barrow for not letting them in. They were then joined by fourth man, who, from his dress, appeared to be a servant, and who,atter speaking with them,stood at some distance. On their continuing theirinsuitingconduct, Mr. Barrow opened his parlour window to speak to them, when Mr. Ramsden assaled him with the most shocking lan guage, on which Mr. Barrow closed the window, and they continued their annoyance until Budgen, the watchman, came his rounds, when the man, who ap peared like a servant, went away, and Mr.-Bartow having again opened the window, desired the watch. man to observe the conduct and expressions of Mr. Ramsden and his companions towards him ; whereupon the u tochman requested Mr. Ramsden and the other per sons to go away, and not stay m :king a noise there, or he should be obliged to take ttem into custody ; on which Mr. Ramsden d his friend commenced a fresh volley gbose against Mr. Barrow, charging him with cernzs at which b•irriAn nature revolts, and which are far too gross for publication, challenging him out to fight, and spitting repeatedly at his face. They were, at length, prevailed on by the watchman, to depart.— In consequence of these proceedings, Mr. Barrow, in the evening of the same dAy (Monday) stationed a police officer in his house, and others to watch outside his premises. In the course of the night, Mr. Ramsden, Mr. Deedes, who is an Officer of the 52d, and two other Officers of that Regiment, paraded frequently before Mr. Barrow's house. About three on Tuesday morning, Mr. Ramsden and Mr. Deedes again passed the house, and the latter shook a stick at Mr. Barrow, who was standing at his parlour window, upon which Mr. Bar row threw up the sash, and observed, 4 , What ! again, Mr. Ramsden T' whereupon both Mr. Ramsden and Mr. Deedes assailed him with the most disgusting lan guage; and upon Mr. Barrow remonstrating with them on their conducting themselves in a manner so deroga tory to the character of Gentlemen, Mr. Ramsden struck at him repeatedly with a►stick, at the same time calling Mr. Borrow and Mrs. Barrow the most insult.' ing and disglaceful names. The police here interposed, and the two Gentlemen were immediately taken into custody. This was the substance of Mr. Barrow's de position to the Bench ; and he now claimed the protec tion of the Magistrates. During these proceedings, George Mortgp Eden, Esq. (who is a nephew of Lord Auckland, an also an Officer or the 52d.) entered the Hall, when the complainant instantly recognized him as one of tt e party who had spitten at and abused him on Sunday night. Mr. Eden, it appears, had volun tarily come forward to surrender himself. Mi. Bartow having gone through his complaint against the prisoners, Mr. Ramsdell, on the part of the I,:tter, merely observed, that it was not likely that him self and kis companions should have acted in the manner imputed to them, when they were well aware that police officers were stationed to watch them ; and denied that he had any stick in his possession, which, in fact, he said, was in the bands of Mr. Deedes. 'Hinman one of the police ollicers, however, positively stated that Mr. It:Louden had a stick in his hand, for, at least, one hour before, and at the time he (Mr. Ramsden) was taken Into custody. The three defendants, Mr. Ramsden, and Messrs. Deedes and Eden, were then severally bound over, each in his own recognizance of 1001. to appear at the Ses sions, to answer for the assault, and, in the meantime, to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, and particularly towards Mr. Barrow and his family. Sum monses were then issued for the appearance of the two Ladies, Mrs; Langdon and Mrs. Forrest, on Thursday, to answer to the charge of keeping a disorderly house. On Monday, in reply to the placard exhibited at Mr. Barrow's, the following notice was placed in the window of N.. 24 The public are requested to suspend their opinion of the infamous libel I exhibited in the window of the house, No. 25, as the writer will have to prove it in a Court of Justice." Oa the assembling of the Magistrates on Thursday, the names of the two aforesaid Ladies were called over three times, merely as a matter of form, it being known that they had left Brighton the preceding evening in their carriage with post-horses. The Ladies not an swering to the call, Mr. Barrow rose, and addressed the Bench as follows ;—" As a public prosecutor, I call on the Magistrates to issue a warrant ; I demand it as the right of a British subject, whose character has been vilely aspersed, and who if the allegations made, were proved, must yield up his life to the offended laws of his country," Mr. Barrow appeared considerably agi tated, and manifested great warmth. Mr. Milford exhorted Mr. Barrow to act with coolness, and in formed him that the Magistrates did not consider it a case sulkiest for them to grant a warrant. _ _ Mr. Barrow then stated it to be his intention to lay the matter before his Majesty, the Duke of York, and the Secretary of State; and added, that lut would make the case resound throughout the kingdom. Thus, for the present, rests this most extraordinary affair. The hall was crowded to excess. Mrs. Forrest, one of the Ladies who agues in the preceding pa ragraphs, is no other than Mrs. Forbes, the beautiful and fascinating mistress of the late unfortunate Mr. Yaunderoy. The number of females altogether in the house was, at least ten, all of them, save one, young and elegant, and possessed of consider able charms. Mr. Ramsden, we understand, holds a situation as Gentleman Usher at Court. The placard Is still In Mr. Barrow's window, in consequence, it is said, of all the Ladles not baying left No. 24. Persons whose avocations have led them, since the conclusion of the late harvest, through the most fertile of the corn districts, state the appearance of the stack- Yards to exhibit no intimations of scarcity. Mr. Grotto's, with two companions, ascended in his balloon on Wednesday at Bristol. On descending, when near the earth, one of the aeronauts jumped out, but the balloon rose again, and travelled upwards of four miles, when the whole afterwards alighted in safety. As a party of convicts were last week at work in the marshes at Woolwich, four of them endeavoured 10 make their escape; upon which the guard fired upon them, and wounded one in the foot, when the remainder sur rendered. It has since been found necessary to ampu tate the leg of the wounded man. AD inquest was held at the Hare, Hoxton, on the body of G. Morris, a child, who, it appeared, was left with his brother is a room by themselves, when they amused each other by kindling a fire on the hearth, which com municated to the clothes of the deceased, who died in consequence the next day. Verdict—Accidental death. Calm. Corr.—An affluent gentleman, residing in one of the principal towns in a western county, has just commenced an action against a professional man, of considerable practice, residing in the same town, and also in good circumstances, for having, in the course of his professional visits, gone beyond the objects which he was employed to attend to. The latter denies the fact of criminal intercourse with the plaintiff's lady, and accounts for the suspicions which are entertained by stating that his duty to his patient required those at tentions which placed him in situations which are deemed equivocal. He moreover states, that but for matrimonial infidelity on the part of the plaintiff, his professional attendance would not have been required. The parties have been married only two years, and the defendant is a married man with a family. Saturday mg rning last, about nine o'clock, two ill looking fellows had the audacity to enter the house of Mr. Brick, of No. 14, Stephen -street, Tottenham-court road, when they proceeded up stairs to the second floor, and went into the front room, where there was a box, containing some valuable property. One of the thieves lifrld the box on the head of his companion, and they were aboOt to make off with their booty; fortunat:ly, however, they were overheard by a female lodger in the adjoining room, who instantly got out of bed, and made an alarm. The villains immediately threw down the-box and ran down stairs into the street, pursued by the female with the ci y of 4 , Stop thief!" she having nothirig on her person at the time but her chemise. The extraordinary exhibition excited general attention, and it was extremely ludicrous to witness the Lady running with all her speed until she overtook one of the thieves, when she had the temerity to seize him round the waist, and keep tight hold him until he was properly smiled and taken into custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, in a ease in which a man swore that he belonged to a parish in the City of London, and that the Overseers refused to again him, the Loan MATO. ordered that temporary relief should be given him, at the same time observing, that be regretted to see that the spirit of litigation was getting to an extreme amongst the several parishes in the City. There were no less than.seventeen cases of appeal at the.last Sessions. A Mr..kickson was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having broken the nose of a person named Hough, who is in the employ of Mr. Blencairn, wharhnger. The complainant stated, that Mr. Jackson came to the premises rfew days ago, and after having had a few words with Mr. Morgan, a clerk in the establishment, seized the clerk by the throat, and seemed disposed to proceed to great violence with him. The com plainant thereupon interfered for the protection of Morgan, and the defendant immediately transferred his wrath to the mediator, knocked hint down, and broke his nose. Grote your nose ? said the Loan MAyon, why I see no symptom of the fracture. Complainant—l assure your Lordship that my nose is com pletely broken. The bone is 'masked. The Load baroa—lt is not likely that a nose could be broken by violence without some palpable external symptom. Ido not (looking very closely at the complainant) see any mark of the kind. Complainant, taking hold of his nose, and shaking about the fleshy part of k—Here it is, my Lord, feel it, you'll find it broken. The Loan MA TOR I can only take thel evidence of my eyes upon the occasion, as you have no medical nun here to depose to the fracture of the bone. I really think you ale mistaken. You com plain of the violence which you say took place only a day or two ago, and you shew me a whole nose to all appearance, and declare that it is a broken one. (Laughter). Complainant—Whatever may be thought, my Lord, my nose is positively broken. I can feel the fracture here (again &baking his nose). Besides my Surgeon, after a thorough examination, told me that it was a broken nose, and he set it for me. The eyes of all in the justice-room had been long fixed upon Mr. Hough's nose, and a buzz was beard generally expressive of incre dulity on the point. The I.OIID MATO& (to Mr. Blencairn)—Perhaps you have ascer tained whether or not Mr. Hough's nose is broken, or perhaps you are qualified to judge from the feeling of it 1 (A laugh). Mr. 131encairn shook his head, and would have nothing to do with the nose. The Loan MAYORI do not want to be considered as making a jest of the matter. I should think Marshal (addressing himself to Mr. Cope) that you may be able to say whether there is a fracture or not? Do try: Mr. Cope turned round to the complainant, as if be intended to feel the nose, but when he lOoked in the complainant's face, be sud denly drew back, and begged not to be asked to touch the nose— (Laughter). The Loan MAYOR (to Harrison, the Marshalman)—Harrison, you must be a judge, for your nose has been broken. You can tel me whether Mr. Hough's nose has been broken ? Harrison (shaking his own nose)--No, my Lord ; my nose never bas been broken. lam no judge. Harrison declined any inter ference. In fact, no person (and there were two or three hair dressers in the justice room) could be prevailed opon to make.the desired experiment. Every man was seen feeling his own nose during the investigation, but not a being would touch the nose that was the bone of contention. The Loan Mason discharged the case, not, however, without receiving from the defendant, who is brother to Mr. filencairn's partner, a solemn assurance that he would go no more to the wharf. A woman of the town, named Thompson, was -charged by a watchman with having committed a felony. Upon whom has she committed a felony, said the Loan Maros ? Upon me, your Lordship, said the watchman. Very well, go on, said the Loan MAYOIL What did she do? Watchman—ie called ate a b—d thief, and other illegal language. The Loan Maros—ls that the felony she committed upon you? Watchman—l considered that enough to bring her off with me. The LORD MAYOR — Do yOu call illegal language a felony? Watchman—My Lord, I think it a bad enough felony. A constable, who smiled at the ignorance of the watchman, as sured the Lord Mayor, this, although the poor man mistook the nature of the woman's offence, in using illegal language, she had committed a serious offence upon himself. What is that, said his Lordship? A misdemeanour, my Lord, said the constable; she pat her hand into my breeches pocket, and stole a sixpence out of it. The Loan Mares—You seem both to understand your business very well indeed. It appearing that the woman was one of the worst about the City, and had been long in the habit of robbing and insulting men, the Loan Memos committed her to the Hesse of Correction. GUILDHALL. Mr. Herrisse, of Milk -street, appeared before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY yesterday, to skew cans* why he refused to paf ss. for the carriage and porterage of a parcel from Sandwich. On a former day Mr. Herring had assigned as his reason, that, although the coach by which it was brought from Sandwich came direct to London, the parcel was shifted into another coach at Can terbury, and the carriage was thereby increased. The case stood over, that some one better informed than the porter, who was the complainant, might attend to explain, and sup. port the demand medic. Yesterday, however, the porter again ap peered alone, and the only additional light be was prepared to throw upon the subject was, the production of the way-bill of the Champion coach from Canterbury to the Bell, Holborn, wherein Mr. Herring's parcel was enumerated, and charged with Is. 6d. carriage, and a Memorandum that 104 had been already paid upon it at Canter bury, making altogether but 2s. 4d. and not 2s. 6d. as charged under the item, carriage, in the complainant's ticket. Mr. Herring said, the production of the way-bill, admitting it to be a genuine document, which be doubted, had not at all bettered the complainant's case. He had been told that one of the two pages was a repetition of the charge of booking at Sandwich.— This information he obtained at the Bell Inn Coach Office • but it now appeared that it was an overcharge made at the said Bell Inn Coach Office Itself, for the coach proprietor, it appeared, by the way-bill, demanded but Ss. 4d. for carriage, and that, with 6d. fur l porterage to A/ il k-greet, made up a charge of 25.10 d. He repeated ' that the ordingy charge from Sandwich to Canterbury was allowed to have been increased to 101 by adding 2d. for the fresh booking, and W. for porterage. Mr. Alderman Alegre' said, nothing could be more shameful than the continual shuffling and contriving among coach. owners to cheat the public. If the parcel ought to have been brought direct to Loudon, he would disallow the expenses of removing it to the second coach. Mr. Alderman WALITNIIAN ) who happeue to be present, said, he concurred with the opinion delivered. If the coach owners might shift their luggage once, they might do it half a dozen times, aad if there was any thing amiss, the facility of obtaining redress was de stroyed—the blame was sure to rest on the parties in the country. The lumping of charges of porterage and bookings, too, under the bead of carriage," was extremely reprehensible. The decision of the Aldermen, therefore, reduced the charge for " carriage," from 2s. 6d. to O. t H ATTON- GA R DE N. Yesterday, a German Jew, who gave his name Michael Herman Stroud, was charged with selling obscene snuffboxes.—A female named Smith, who keeps a tobacconist's shop , in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell, stated, that the defendant came to her shop one day last week, and asked her to purchase some snuff and other bows which he had for sale; she declined, but told him her husband had another shop in a different part of the town, and it he went there, her husband might probably buy something of him. That morning he again called whilst her husband was absent, and the again de sired him to come when her husband would be at home, as she was no judge of such articles; he made no particular reply, but took several boxes out of a bag, and displayed various obscene prints; thinking he meant to insult her, she told him to leave the shop in stantly; but he refused, and abused her. She then sent to a neigh bour for assistance, who came and took him into custody. Mr. Lauso asked the defendant If be had a license? and he re plying in the negative, the Magistrate told him that he subjected himself to a fine of 101. for selling foods without one. The defendant had little or nothing to say in extenuation of his gross conduct, and the Magistrate discharged him. telling him that if he ever was brought before hint again, be should inflict the pe nalty for selling without a license. ' Yesterday, Mr. R. Smith, a solicitor, residing at Calthorpe-street, Brunswick-square, appeared to a summons for the payment of four quarters' rate, £3 13s. id. levied on him by the Commissioners, for paving, lighting, and cleansing the Caithorpe Estate District. Mr. Hastings, the collector, stated, that the defendant resisted the payment, though every other inhabitant of the street had sub. mitred to it. Mr. Smith would, no doubt, admit that he bad I already paid this same rate himself. Mr. Smith was willing to admit that he bad, but then he had paid it Li his own wrong. The fact was, thas to was summoned for a paving rate, at a time that there was no carriage way in the street. His objection was grounded on the words of the Act ut MAR LnonouGll-STittr.T. Yesterday a number of the frail sisterhood, displaying the tuna. quent advantages of their profession—such as swollen eyes, with, rainbow hues, torn frills, frippery dresses and draggled tails, and i s the same time presenting In their weary countenances and sleepless eyes all the comfort attendant upon an eight and forty bouts' login in the watch•bouse, were brought before Mr. Ittae, the sitting Mt. gistrate, to answer the several charges preferred against them by those vigilant guardians of the night y'clept watchmen. The Magisttate, after fining some, discharging others, and in. prisoning the remainder, m a little time cleartd the dock. Parliament. He bud himself been a Commi.:sioner, but that wag no reason why. he shoukl submit to a public imposition. The Act specified, that this rate should he demandable whed the carriage way was paved to the middle, which was not the case up to the period that hr resisted the rates; instead, no carriage could ma* into the street. Mr. Lama, on referring to the Local Act, deemed the objection valid, and the summons was dismissed. WORSIIIP-STREET. Edward Pahlavi* and Williams Norris, boys, 16 or 17 years of age, were convicted of stealing apples in the garden of N. M. itothschiki, Esq. of Stamford Hill, on the oath of Mr. gardener,and a perks! named Scott, who stopped them, with the apples upon them, which they threw down, and endeavoured to escape. —They were cont. alined for three maths to the House of Correction. Edward and Samuel Siotetenkani, brothers, were convicted of steal ing 48 bunches of grapes from a vine, in the garden of Mr. Char:es Humphreys. They were taken at Clapton, with the propeny iu their possession; and were sentenced, the elder brother, to three months' imprisonment; and the younger one, a mere boy, to six weeks' imprisonment. MARY LA-BONNE. NWSam Long, the toll-collector at Pineapple Gate, Kilburn.rotd, appeared on summons for an illegal demand of toll. The Local Act provides, that a loaded cart passing the gate and paying tell, shall pass free when it returns empty ; hut it does no: notice the reversed order of going empty and returning loaded, which was the practice with the complainant, a Mr. Norwood, a cow keeper, who sends carts for his milk, and is obliged by the gate-keeper to pay both going and returning. The Magistrates held that the Legislature intended, although it had not provided, that in such cases the party should pay but once. This is the third decision the same way, but the cate is to be carried to the Quarter Sessions. Yesterday, Robert Dobbins, an old veteran, having a pension of fd. a-day, for services in the Life and Coldstream Guards, was brought to the bar, charged in the watch-book, by Peering, a ser- geant of the watch, with having no place ofmktie. Perring, not being in attendance to uphold his charge, Mr. Rewumson asked the old soldier, how he came into the watch-housed Why, Sir, as I stood gaping about last night. tie circ a that is sat here, tapped me on the shoulder, and said where do yoo live? I said I don't know; he said I will find a place for you, chi so he nude me go to the Watch-house. Mr. Itewustsow, to the constable who brought him from the watch.house—" I do not understand the practice of sergeants of the watch giving a charge, and then not coming here to assign a reason; was this person drunk, or do you know anything about i r Constable--" He was not drunk, but he was in the street, and sergeant Perrin' says he was Makin about him." "That may be," said Mr. Itawusisox, 0 and if the system is pursued, a nun may be locked up all night for looking at the moon." Mr. flawlinson endeavoured in vain to find out the poor man's residence,and asked him, among many other questions,w here he atilt last ? to which he replied,with great readiness, " in the wat cli.housr." Mr. Itevriausow—" That I know; and if I let you go, where will you sleep to-night ?" Dobbine--" I can't tell—T shall sleep wherever I can get a bed." His other answers led Mr. Rawlinson to doubt the correctness of his ntind and as there was a consta bl e present, who had been his old comra de in the Guards, and who spoke highly of his former con duct, Mr. Rawuesoe dismissed him,and desired the constable to in quire into his circumstances. UNION•HALL Yesterday, John Jules, the proprietor and driver of a Greenwich stage-coach, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, M. Sway, Esq. charged with having assaulted a Gentleman named Tefrett. The Magistrate observed that he had frequent opportunities of witnessing the gross behaviour, particularly of the Greenwich stige coachmen, and he should now enable Mr. Terrett to prosecute the defendant at the Sessions, as an example to deter others of the same fraternity from pursuing similar misconduct towards the public. The complainant expressed his determination to prosecute, and the defendant was locked up in default of bail. The oppositioa steam-boats are taking passengers be tween Cork and Bristol for ls. each: three years ago the charge was three guineas! Biers, the informer, has, during the past week, been laying no less than eighteen informations against the coach proprietors of Cheltenham. Thisperson's trip to Gloucestershire appears to be a pretty good speculaAion, as convictions upon his informations appear to have taken place to the amount of 1151., half of which goes to the informer. The parishes of St. Bride and Hampstead have re cently held meetings, and provoked a good deal of speechifying, on the appropriation of some paltry items of expenditure, and particularly against the unconsti tutional practice of taking lunch at the expence of the parishioners!
