" Oh! that mine enemy had written a book." SlR—Observing in your Paper, that a certain mys terious Book is announced as shortly to appear, I am anxious to learn if it is truly so. We have been so often amused and abused by reports of this Book's forthcoming, that I cannot help doubting. It is a "consummation devoutly to be wiplied" by the British Public, and, I should think, by all parties. I am_going, for the next three months, to bury my self amongst the mountains of Woks : even there they have acquireor the habit of shaping their manners by the Court, and as this Book may afford them much wholesome instruction, should be glad to know it it will be out in time for me to carry it down. Besides, Mr. Editor (and forgive the garrullity of AR old man, upon whose head the same number of 'winters have shed their snows as upon that of his ei-iong-loved GEORGE the Third), I am tremblingly alive for the honour of that noble House, which is recorded in our annals hand-in-hand with Great Bri. fain; sharing the same fortunes—evincing the same dauntless. courage, honour, and integrity. Unused to write for the public eye (in truth, hardly f'sble to do more than copy my borrowed sermons), ion must excuse inaccurate diction ; I am toe old mow either to alter my way: or opinions, and I still isgree with the Poet whom every Welchman admires (my old friend, GRAY), that " The Star of Biturtswicx shines serene;" and gallantly as the great Duke fell on the field of battle, so will his descendants meet and refute every calumny. Should this meet the eye of the secret ponester of " things unutterable," -I hope he may be induced to relieve my suspense, by saying when the Book will appear. Your troublesome well-wisher, • MATTHEW BRAMBLE, Clerkenweliveon. Curate of Perwhilll. Upwardsuf £20 . 00 have been already subscribed f it Glasgow for the Russian Sufferers. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who has taken up his '' Adence, for four months, at his princely chateau, in Jerby shire, commenced a series of entertainments tlast week. All the neighbouring Nobility, particularly "the family of Lord SCARSDALE, were invited. DUEL PREVENTED.—Mr. M. a medical man, and an Adjutant of a matching regiment, met yesterday, ;:'adjoining the Regency Park, to settle a dispute in an hen.urabk way. Two constables received them at the appointed spot, and they were held in securities to keep the peace. PEDESTRIAN ism.—Mr. Jameson, a noted pedestrian, undertook, yesterday, for a wager of 50 guineas, to I go on the Bath road ten miles in one hour. He did the first four miles in 24. minutes, but he was ten se- Atonds over the half hour doing five'miles. He lost ,time in every succeeding mile, and he had performed sine miles and a half only when the hour expired. A youth of the name of George, 16 years of age, iwas kille • yesterday morning, in Oxford -street, by being jerked off the telegraph of a coach. He pitched ,on his head, and never moved after. 1 A fire broke out at a small house occupied by Mrs. Moulder, a laundress, in Bennet's-rents, New- ington.road, on Monday night, occasioned by some 'linen taking fire. A girl, 13 years old, WAS so much burnt in making her escape, that she expired the next 'day, having suffered the most excruciating agony. Last week two children in Aberdeen, a boy and , irl, were burnt, by their clothes catching fire. The ,oy died almost immediately. The girl survives, but 'in a very dangerous state. 1 Monday se'nnight, while two men were e m p lo y ed f. in boring a stone at a quarry called the Dancing Cairn, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, part of the bank, being loosened by the thaw after a severe frost, (gave way with some of the solid rock, and falling upon them, crushed them very severely. One of tem, in partictilar, had his thigh broke and his skull , and was otherwise so extensively injured, after being carried to the hospital, he died next iy, leaving a wife and numerous young family in testitute circumstances. The other man, although ' ly hurt, is now in a promising way of re- :overy. A melancholy circumstance occurred a few days ice, at Mill Hall, near Aylestord :—Mr. Spong laving . returned from the Quarter Sessions at Maid stone, in his one-horse chi. le, gave the servant (a young man, about 19), as usual, the reins at his door: the youth, it appears, was- afterwards so imprudent s to venture into the river Medway adjoining, for e purpose of washing the horse and chaise, when, shocking to relate, the animal and himself were driven !down the river by the current, and both drowned._ The horse was found in a n u p ri g ht p osture, and the young man picked up at some distanc e b elow where e catastrophe happened. Sunday se'nnight a carriage-horse, while harnessing in George-street, Limerick, having been bit by a dog, got restive, and further enraged by the trappings of the harness, -the animal galloped furiously down George-street into Bridge-street, where an endea vour was made to check 'his career by P. Kennedy; but so outrageous`had the animal become, that rais ing itself on its hind-feet,, it struck the unfortunate 1 man with his fore-feet on the chest ) and almost in atantaneous death was the result. I ' quiries, he learnt that a West-country barge, pieces of timber hanging to the. stero l . had that day gone up the River. 'The clerk followed the barge to Chertsey, where, ascertaining that such timber was that of which he was in search, he took all the per sons then navigating the barge into custody ; and strong suspicion attaching to John Littleworth, an otherof the bargemen, who had left the barge at Kingston and not returned, pursuit was immediately made after him, and he was taken into custody near Windsor, when he endeavoured to account for the timber by stating, that he had bought it of a water man for a pound-note. A number of witnesses were examined, who proved the property to belong to the prosecutors, and of its being fastened to the barge with the knowledge of the prisoner; but as it did not appear that the rest of the crew were fraudulently concerned, but only guilty of great negligence and inattention in suffering the timber to be so fastened, without its :ging regularly entered in the bill of lading, or charge thereof given to the captain of the barge, the Counsel for the pro secution declined to press the case further against them ; and the Jury found the prisoner Littleworth guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners. The Court sentenced Littleworth to be transported for seven years, and the Chairman then admonished the other prisoners to profit by,iiihat they had that day witnessed. - • A true Bill has been found, by . the Grand Jury of Middlesex, against Elizabeth Alden, for bigamy, she being charged with having married the late General R. Bowles, in the life time of her first husband, H. Alden, from whom, we understand, she had obtained a divorce according to the laws of Scotland. At Marlborough-street Felice Office, on Tuesday, two men, df the names of Johnson and Keep, were held to bail for assaulting an elderly Gentleman and his daughter, on Monday evening. The defendants pre tended they knew the young Lady, and behaved with much audacity, and struck the Gentleman. Yesterday J. Cook, alias Clarison, underwent ano ther examination, at Bow-street, charged with ut tering a forged draft for upwards of £lOO, to Mr. Cooper, of Bond-street. A sluipman of the prosecu tor, who could fully identify the prisoner, being indis posed in the country, the prisoner was committed for further exam'*.ition.—S. Simmons was charged by Nichols, an officer, with attempting to commit divers felonies. Nichols stated, that at ihe time the com pany were coming rout of Drury-lane Theatre, on Wednesday night, he saw the prisoner, in company with a Well known thief, attempting to rob several Gentlemen in Brydges-street. He was ordered to be detained, for the purpose of convicting him as a reputed thief.—Several hackney coachmen have been lately convicted in penalties for being absent from their coaches at the Theatres, and imposing upon the com pany, by asking . them were they were going, and de manding extortionate sums for carrying them. On Monday, at a General Quarter Sessions of the Borough of Plymouth, the Mate of a coaster, and a Custom-house-officer, were tried on an indictment for stealing seven gallons of brandy. After a long hear ing, they were found Guilty, and sentenced by the Court to seven years transportation. Monday, at the City of Oxford Sessions, a person calling himself John Davison, of gentlemanly ap pearance and manners, was tried and convicted be fore 1). E. TAUNTON, Esq. Recorder of Oxford, for having in his custody one set 0, two so, and two £l, forged Bank of England notes, without being able to assign or prove any lawful cause or excuse. The pri-. soner was charged with the offence at Birmingham, but escaped from the officers of justice. He was pur sued by the constables from thence to Oxford, where they traced him to the Cross Inn in the Cornmarket, and took him into custody, and on searching him they found the above forged notes wrapped up in a brown paper parcel, with two blank forged Leicester bank notes for iel each, not filled up or signed, and also several counterfeit 3s. tokens. The charges being satisfactorily proved, the Court sentenced him to be trassported for fourteen years. The prisoner proved to be Captain Davidson, who was convicted in the year 1809 of stealing a quantity of muslin at Taun ton, in Somersetshire, and who was sentenced to be transported for seven years, but he had obtained par don on condition of transporting himself for the re mainder of that term. A few ( - Lys since the pantry of Lord SAYE and SELF was entered, and robbed of several articles of valuable plate, from the door of tke house in Berkley street, Manchester-square,being imprudently left open. MURDER, Ikc.—A rape and murder was commit ted on the body of a young woman, named Hannah' Leatham, in the service .of Mr. Jackson, of Brignal, near Greta Bridge, on New Year's Day. She had been sent an errand to Barnardcastle, which place she left about five o'clock in the evening, on her way home. her body was found next morning, about two miles from that town, on the road to the High street (a road Much frequented) with her head nearly cut from hec body. A Coroner's Inquest re turned a verdict of Rape and Murder against some person or persons unknovtn. Several men have been taken up on suspicion, but nothing satisfactory has been proved. An inhabitant of the town of Marybottugh, named Keating, having discovered that an attempt had been made to break open his house, concluded that-they had been interrupted in their work, and would come again. He accordingly shut up his house all day, as it he had left it, and kept guard inside. As he anti. cipated, they returned on the night of Thursday se'n night, and attempted to break it open with an iron crow ; on which Keating, who was well prepared, shot the robber, who immediately dropped; He had no accomplice; and was immediately brought to the gaol, which is near to Keating's house, where he ex pired next morning. He proved to be a man of the game of kioland f lortrade a tailor. •• PR..-.. " '., v. . • ... ' TEE 1111171911 or rmf _- , January 20.

GOSS and Cw Surgairinx, IS, Bouverie-strint, In an inland town, certain Publicans, whdie home brewed ale was considered passing good, lately took , advantage of the reputation of their " Malt," to raise it from 6d. to Bd. a quart, without deigning to assign any reason, but their good pleasure. For three days these publicans did not draw off even a solitary ftint they were literally deserted. '1 he consequence was, that early on the fourth day, they sent the town crier round to notify the old rate ! If the pubic would act in the same manner in the Metropolis, the effect might be correspondent. The harbour at Newhaven was, a few days since,' literally alive with fish, which occasioned all the nets in the place to be put in immediate requisition, and several lots of herrings were, in consequence, taken some distance up the river, nigh to Sleeper's Hole, before they could return to the sea. The herrings have not yet abandoned the shores of Sussex ; they are still caught in great abundance, to the no small surprise of the fishermen, the oldest of whom does not recollect a similar instance to have occurred. On Saturday and Monday some thousands of very fine fish, taken at but a very small distance from the land, were brought in L-y the Seaford boats, and sold at very low prices. BIRTHS.
