LISTON 8048.—0 h, Popularity I thou bugbear of dis tinction, bow bast thou played thy freaks with me, and made thy favours irksome and distressing. I cannot %di without remark---I cannot speak without a smile on the face of My hearer=—l cannot look without being laughed at: surely, no poor devil was ever treated thus. The French Hercules had time for airings—Daniel Lambert had his hours of rest—but I—poor I—am obliged to sneak out. like a thief in the night, and con alder myself happy to reach my home again without notice. If a print-shop attracts mine eye, Pawl Pry stares me in the face, Sammy s&pes looks pot-boyishly at me, and Apollo Belve makes his bow of recognition. If a new pamphlet shows its hot-pressed front in the, window of a bookseller, dare I t' look at it, Poo!e's con founded comedy is its companion, and my engraved pkiseg. its greatest attraction. Nay more, those brittle mongers Chinamen have immortalised my clay by theii 'a ,r—in the shape of various landscapes of my face—all unnaturally ogly—all disgusting.

Stop, I pra,y thee, even the far-famed Job could not have borne such contumely as I have. Every night the self-same jokes--the usual roars of laughter—the apparent joy mocking me in eager phizzes, and the anticipating applauee.

I turned me round to scold them for their scorn, With anger fierce, and vengeance palpable, But they did laugh at me, and one did say, s Oh, Jack, I know him by his strop"--Sfy mug Pot south t the other bawled with screaming voice, " I say, you Bill, it is not our Paul Pry, But Sammy Swipes; and blow me if it an't."

RECORDS OF SCOTLAND.--It is a fngular fact that it does not appear from the records of the country that ani patent of honour, creating a Peerage, can be dis covered earlier than the reign of JAMB'S VI. Before that period titles of honour and dignity were created hs erecting lands into Earldoms and Lo:dships, and pti:bably by some other method that cannot now in 31 alters so ancient be with any certainty discovered.— Ft am a report of the Court of Session to the House of Lords, during the Presidency of the celebrated DUNCAN FORBIII (in 1740) it seems, that through vat ious acci dents the state of the Scottish records, particularly the most ancient, was very imperfect; for besides other misfortunes, it appears, by an examination, to be found • anions the records of Parliament, Bth January, 1661, that of the registers which had been carried to Eng land,.during the usurpation of CIMAINALLI and w h ic h were being brought back from London after the Re storation, by sea, eigiel.Y;five hogsheads were in asl'orin shifted out of the frigate, the EAoL; to anothes• vessel which sunk with those records, Ice.

EH Monday, a bull attacked a boy named Cant, who had the charge of some cattle, on the Links of Monifieth, and killed him on the spot. Thursday afternoon a shocking accident occurred at Dalrymple Place. - A fine boy, about eight years of age, named Robert Lawson, the s of . a mason residing there, whilst arnuting himself by sliding on the railing of the hung stair, N 0.4, overbal4nced himself, and was precipitated to the area, from a height of about five stories, his head being almost literally dAshed to pieces. On the night of the 21st ult. ihd farm-house of Tip. petty, parish of Fordoun, was entered by o.* of the windows, and wearing apparel, plate, &c. carried 4 ff, to the amount of I:40. A few nights after, an outhouse, belonging to the Rev. Dr. Leslie, Fordoun, WAS broken into, and several small articles cart ied off. Daring Divine Service, in the afternoon of Sunday last, the inhabitants of I. tnatk were alarmed by the ringing of the fire-bells. The Churches emptied, and upon arriving at the Cross, the cloth-shop of Dan'el Reid was discovered to be on fire. The work of de. structioa had been nearly over before the alarm was given. The goods in the shop were all more or less injured. Fortunately the fire was confined within the shop, and little damage is done to any other part of the building, except one toom. ICtigo's THlATftft.WAureliano in Paimira was again performed on Saturday evening. Veu.oxfs singing was very fine, especially in the second Act, where the music is pathetic. Mad. Bomar and Cucuta were also very effective. It being his Matures birth-day, the National Anthem was sung with some degree of novelty—Madame Boman and Signor Mitt giving the first and second verses, and the third being sung by Bosun and VSLLUTI, with very good pronunciation. The whole excited much and deserved applause. The following performers have been engaged at Drury-Line Theatre for the ensuing season :—Nlevirs. BRAHAM, Satan, and Linos ; the two Misses Tare, from Bath, Miftc - 5 of Mrs. BRADSHAW, are added to the vocal department. A navigatoi of the name of CAWTHORN WAS king.' on Friday in a .pugilistic &mint, with Warsanousc, a sawyer, in a barge on the Guildford river. The match, which was for ten sovereigns, was fought more than half an hour in a geld, doge upon Guildford, when an interruption took place ; but determined to fight it out the parties went several miles to the barge, or rather a large lighter. The deceased bad the best of figining and death was occasioned by a blow. The new Tunnel has proceeded about sixty fee: from the shalt under the bed of the River'; a solid blue clay being as yet the only soil the workmen have met with. The 25th 'ult. Miss Margaretta Maria Downes, of Fir-Court, Chuichstcke, Aiontgornerysh:re, safely un• 'derwent the hundredth and ninth operation of tapping for the dropsy: 16 quarts of water were extracted. At Edinburgh, en the 4th instant, the Degree of Docor of Medicine was conferred by the Senatus Aca denticus, on 118 Gentlemen. This *number falls coni• derably short of the graduation last year. Smoutan DeATII.—A poor man, named Prickett, having a wife and ten children, was killed last week at Carrington, under the following curious circumstances : he was on horseback, carrying a bottle of ale to some Labourers, when the cork flew out with an explosion_ the horse took fright, the man was thrown and thus lost his life. Monday, in the park of the Eul of NORTHAMPTON, near Olney, the head•keeper of his Leirdship, named Longstaff, fired at a deer, and the slugs palled through the animal's head. ole of them, which, it is supposed, rebounded, then struck an unJer- keeper under the right eye, and wounded him so dangerously that little hopes are entestained ut his life. It is proposed to establish a Register Office, where the pait.cularirespec ing children lost or found will be recorded, and which will be a central point of commu nication with other stations that will be appointed for the same purpose, in different parts of the metropolis. TIACT Socturiau.rr The number of tracts issued by :he London R:ligions Tract Society, last year. was 10,500,000; the publications in all languages, since 'the establishment of the Society, ate estimated to escerei 100,000,000; since 1808, tracts have been printed in forty-two languages ; and the receipts during the past year, in England and America, amount to 1,600,000 dol. Ast Winnturitro PuaucArs.—A knowing looking rustic, apparently a northern, went into a public-house in Rush, a few days ago, where he entered into convey savors with the landlord respecting the crops, dm.— Dui ing the discussion of these topic:, our hyperborean friend contrived to discuss a fair portion of ham, and some mild ale, and three cool tumblers. On rising to depart, he shook Bonitace heartil by the hand, ex-• pressed his regret at not having change enough about him then to discharge the trifling bill, and added, " that on his return from Dublin, he would call and settle the account." Our host insisted on prompt payment, which the oti.er again declared his inability to comply with; but finding the landlord inexorable, he at' length drew .from his breast a small pocket Bible, ind tendered it in pawn for the amount. Bonilace was still inflexible, and swore he would not take it. "Ah, my friend," said the northern, lim not now surprised at your refusing to take my word, when I see you so obstinately bet on re. fusing the word of Goa."---trisAinen. There is ao place more easy to get into than the 'Court of titianCery, nor any place from which It b more difficult to pet eat. POLICE Ingi t LIGEN.:E. '1. 0 1011.0. MANSION DOUSE. The man who called himself lanes ekijorift. hot who now did not deny his name to be Creeder, was brought up for re riaminatlon. It will be recollected that the prisoner tendered a Si. !firming. . ham flank note for a suit of clothes, but, the note being found to be stolen, he was taken into custody. Ills defence was, that he received it front a person in the streets, in payment for some goods sold by him. The Lona Maroc refixed to believe this story, and said he should commit the prisoner for having the note in his possession, and uttering it, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Humphries, who attended for the prisoner, declared that such a commitment would be illegal. He denied that the prisone r. had committed any offence • and contended that the notes, having been stopped payment in London, were no more than so mucb waste paper. That being thus valueless, no felony was committed with respect to them, and that it was no offence within any of the statutes to utter them. The Loan Mavens expressed himself of a decidedly opposite ,opinion, and declared that he should commit the prisoner. Some deficiency in the technical proof occurred, and the prisoner *as remanded that it might be supplied. Ills Lordship expressed his surprise that, after tie repeater heavy losses the Bankers sustained by sending par:els by stage coaches, no arrangement was made with Government to send tbens by the post. He entertained little doubt that Government would make an arrangement, and that it would be highly to the advantage ,of the parties. Two watermen were summoned before the Lola Alarms; the one ft,r making use of abusive language, the other for extorting more than his fare from the pas angers of a steam-hoat. From the statement of the complainants it appeared, they are mechanics, who bad gone a trip in one of the steam-boats, with their company. On their return at night, they were charged by the waterman dd. each for landing, or ts. for each boat-load of; eight. This the complainants thought exorbitant, and they had suiriegut spirit to bring the case before the LOAD 11Iavott. One of the defendants began to call the party "lousy scamps," and said they could be notbing•but a set of thieves to behave " in that 'ere shabby manner, " and ;award them to be treated in such a manner as few persons , for the 'sake of a much larger sum, would venture to encounter. The Leah bhiost fined the waterman 10s. and costs for abuse; and awarded the complainaot, out of the fine, the value of his day's work, that he might not be a loser by his laudable conduct in bringing the case forward.....Watermen, his Lordship added, would find it their interest to be neither so insolent roe so extortionate to the passengers of steam-boats. GUILDHALL. Mr. Dick, a silversmith, in Bell yard, Temple Bar, appeared be. fore Sir Joan PERRINO, and stated, that a paragraph bad been cir culated in the Newspapers, relating that hit family, of five children, and a Maid servant ' had been poisoned by partaking of a plum pie, made trom impureffitirt 'leiioW wished to acquaint the Magi,. trite with the result of the analyt ttion of the flour, of which a tea cup full had been saved, and also of the pie crust itself. Mr. Clarke, of Apothecarlea' Hall, had reported, that one-fourth of it was chalk and pipeclay, and the - remainder bean, ors me other interim flour, and not wheaten. His homily had perfectly recovered from the effects of the poison. • Sir JOHN Nutria asked him, where he purchased the flour. Mr. Dick replied, that half a quartern only was bought at the shop of a general dealer, in Bell yard. Sir Joust made a minute of the circumstance, and thanked Mr. Dick for exposing this abominable practice of adulterating food. J. Browne, alias White, the denture personage charged with having Imposed upon minty charitable people, by calling at their busses with a petition, purporting to have been signed and recommended by the Rev. Rowland litil and other Clergymen, was brought up for re-examination ; and, after his Solicitor bad occupied the atten- tion of the Court for a good half hour, in trying to find vinop-hole in the law large enough for the pious petitioner to creep nut at, the Magistrate sentenced him to three months imprisonment in the 'louse of Correction. It was stated by the witnesses for the pro secution, that about two years ago, he had three months' exercise at the grixton tread mill,for a precisely similar offence. There were no fewer than ihirty.sig prisoners on the list, and the Magistrate was occupied until atter five o'clock in hearing the charges against them; but there was no case of any public interest except the above. BOW-STREET. . Two ragged youths, named Jens Singleton and Ahn Danes were brought before Mr. Mimsnutt. yesterday, charged, under the new Act with robbing the garden of Mr. Henry . Hare Townshend, of Tottenham, of eighteen plums! The prisoners were seen by a little boy, named Joseph Huggins, 'very busily banqueting on Mr. Townshencrs 111 plums—Singleton sitting on the garden wall, within reach of the plum tree, supplying Li:itself and his companions from hand to mouth. Mr. MINSHULL asked the complainant at what he valued the plums the boys had eaten ? The complainant said they hid eaten about eighteen plums, whirl might be valued at a penny. Mr. Muumuu. then ordered the prisoners to pay a fine Of 2s. GI each, and three times the value of the plums; and having done so, they were discharged with a reprimand front the worthy Magis trate, who informed them that if they were brought again before him for the like offence, be must commit them to hard labour for six mouths. An elderly woman, named Jane Grant, wax committed for trial, for stealing a variety of wearing apparel, the property of a woman named Conway, who keeps a house in Lisle-street. It appeared that the property was pat t of the effects of another" house" belonging to the prosecittrix, of which the prisoner was " superintendent." A Gemletnan who resides in the neighbourhood of Newcastle. street, Strand, complained of the conduct of Alexander Dallas, the beadle and street-keeper of St. Mary-le.Strand. He stated that be was standing opposite Somerset-house, on Tuesday last, at a few minutes after ten o'clock, in quiet conversa tion with a respectable married Lady, when Mr. Daltas approached him, thumping the ground with his stick, and peremptorily ordered him to " move on." He remonstrated, and Mr. Dallas said it was the order of the Watch Committee that no persons should he allowed to stand and converse together, and unless he moved on, be must take him to the watch-house. e again remonstrated, and thereupon Mr. Dallas seized him by the gollar, with an intention of putting his threat into execution, but that he (complainant), then consented to walk on, and he was released. Of this assault he complained. Mr. Mussisur.a. ordered Dallas, who was in the offiee, to be called forward,and whets be appeared, asked him by whose autho ' thy he thus acted? Dallas replied, by the orders of the Watch Committee. Mr. Mumma. said the Watch Committee bad no power to give any such orders---they were most absurd. He then ordered Dallas to give bail for his appearance at the Sesrions, and advised the com plainant to prosecute; but upon Mr. Dallas's expressing contrition toe his behaviour, the affair ended. HATTON-GARDEN. / * rug, and Meaner, his wife, were charged with robbing Frances Smith. The prosecutrix was returning from Church on Sunday evening,wlsen she was met by the prisoners in St. John's street who knocked her down, and snitched her reticule, contain ing la. 6d. and a prayer book. They were, however, pursued, and the reticule found on the male prisoner.—Both committed. J. Richard, was committed to the House of Correction for tare. mootigs, charged wills &king in an inclosed pond belonging to Counsellor .Agar, from which be bad taken six dozen of track. MA ftLBOROUGLI-STRICET. Yesterday, Johnson. of respectable appearance, was brought before F. A. Roe, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, charged with ob taininensoney by he following novel mode ; A publican, residing in St. Giles's, deposed, that the prisoner was in the habit of coming to his house tWo or three times a wi.ek, and taking a glass of gin, or half a pint of beer; on receiving the liquor, he gave the person who served him a sixpence, and received the change; on finishing the glass of liquor, the prisoner counted the change. when be said r "Oh I you have forgot to give me the six pence." The person who served him, replied, that he had only given a sixpence, when the prisoner, with considerable warmth, in. fisted that he had given a shilling. Not suspecting, frogs his re spectable appearance, that he was advancing a falsehood, the addt twilit sixpence was given hint; but this mistake happening so fre quently. induced him to be particular, and vfhen the prisoner called again on Saturday, be then served him watt the usual quantity of gin, and. in return, received a sixpence; this he kept in his hand, and returned the change, which the prisoner counted over, and made his old demand of another sixpence; he was again informed that he had only given a sixpence, when the prisoner replied, that be had nothing less than a shilling; he then 'hewed the money, sent for the watchman, and pve him in charge, it being the third time within the Week belted evade this contribution on him. Mr. Roe observed, that it was an offence which he could not in. infest in. The publitati said, he should not have brought the prisOner before him, bad he mot been satisfied that it was by similar frauds that he lived. The prisone% on being alietsatiol,likaskeatie wivithy Magistrate fee his kindueu, and said, tkaebt treedd not du the like again. RY-LA-130241NR.

He was then given into custody.

The excuse of one was, that be had recently broken MC leg; and the other two pleaded that they were tired-'- be Magis trate recommended them not to come out with the drays when they were tired so early as seven o'clock in the morning, nor when they bad recently broken their legs, as he would huts them 10a. neat titnt. • WORSHIP-STRUT.

UNION HALL In the course of yesterday, a worte.mason, named trinbet, who resid e s at a village in Wiltshire, and whose visit to London was un. dertaken in search of his wife, appeared before It. J. Co.nnas, Esq. requesting that she might be given up to him (she being made a prisoner at his request), in order that he might quit thelletio. polls, and repair to his residence with hie spouse. It'would seem that she had left her home, taking with her pro. perry to the amount of 3Col. fur the purpose of joining a shoemaker named liarheld, to whom she wan much attached. The husband having learnt her retreat, whit! Was at a house in Ilarpur.etreet, Lambeth, gave directions to a constable to take her into custody, which was accordingly done, and the lost property was found still in her possession. It did not appear whether tar nut she had been in the company of Barfield since her abode in town. The applica tion now was, as above stated, by the husband, who evinced great anxiety respecting its sumo.. The Magistrate said that he would immediately order her to be discharged acid given sp to him. But if she had been really bring in adultery with another man, he was not bound to maintain her. Complainant—l do not mind what has passed, I will take het again although I know that she cares no nicte for me than this stick (exbitfiting a large one), which I hold in my hand. Mr. Cnssiaess--You mty take her away, but how will you manage if she is unwilling to accompany you? Complainaht—..Paith, I will take her before me on horseback. The woman, why is by no means attractive, was now liberated, and the husband tushed out of the office lest she should get to the door first, sad again escape. When in the passage, basing jeil her, he was heard to say, " My dear, I base now got you, I will take care you do not quit one again." TH IMES POLICE. Asian Woad, master of the ship Edgar, in the coal trade, appeared, on a summons, to answer the complaint of Lawrence Ferny, to chew catfte why Ise, on the 20th of Juue last, paid, or caused. to be paid, to certain coal heavers, or coal-whippers, who had assisted in delivering the Lips of her cargo, their wages in certain places on shore, cunlAry to the statutes in tbat case made and provided.--.

The Captain stated that be did not pay the men, but gave their money to the basket-man, who, instead of paying the men on hoard the vessel, as he ought to have done, paid them on shove; end be conceived he ought not to he held accountable for hie act. hir. BRODtRIP observed, that surely the Captain could not let ig norant of the existence of the Act of Parliament, and he ought to have paid each man separately his wages ; and therefore, the only alternative left him was to convict him in the penalty of 20% The Captain immediately left the office, and returned with bail, for the purpose of appealing from the Magistrate* decision, which be accordingly put in.
