mot TOE Nam' hteNTITLY MAGatimit. The personage who last employed my (ma had in old head upon young shoulders. I have had a subs:- quent sitter in an opposite predicament. into the magniScent eating-room of the Union Club House, on 'Wednesday last, at half-past seven o'clock, there entered 'one of those very numerous people whom we middle-aged Gentlemen about town have known by sight for the last five and twenty years, and whom we always accost with a melual ejaculation of 14 Who is that man?" The stranger had a lean long body,which, -in the wend course of events, would have been cased in fleecy hosiery, but which, upon the present occasion, was arranged in an olive brown Wellington frock-coat and white jean waistcoat and trousers. His cravat was of light-blue silk, his back was as stiff as a Peer at a Bedford-square dinner-table, and a small moss rose bloomed i.) his bosom. Every member of the Union Club is requited 'by its Regulations to writ, his name upon the small piece of ruled paper upon which he in scribes the particulars of his proposed repast. I over looked on of the (.1,1 shoulders of the unknown, while in the act of performing that operation, and read to myself, " Sir Jerk Withers." Fortunately for the wold of Paul Plyhood, and equally unfortunately for Sir Jerk,the new bo..k of Peerage includes the Baronets. The precious volume, hound in red morocco, lay in the newspaper-coons. 1 crossed the hall to inspect it, and turning to the W.'s read as follows: "Sir JerkWithers,- son of S'r Jerom and Dame Arabella, born the 14th off Jaunary, 1765." Good, thought 1: this makes him sir/ years old in January last. —A now returned to the diming-roofn ; and wtile Sir Jerk 'Withers was paying his respects to a ragout of veal and a'pint of burgundy, I availed myself of that opportunity to re-peruse his face and person. Time sometimes makes his chief inroads upon the face, sometimes ueyon the figure, and sometimes, like bidders at an auction, in two places at once. When he helps us to fat, the face continues to look young and the body gets old. When he helps us to lean, the hods continues to look young and the face gets old. A bulky body is not easily managed: for fat, if dislodged from one station takes refuge in another ; and tight lacing only makes the matter worse. As Swift says " You lose in coach hire what you save in wine." I could name an actress, who, on dropping her fan as a lure to Archer, would be terribly puzzled how to pick it up again, if that seeming serving-man should fail so to do. Now Sir Jerk Wi hers having been complimented by old Scythe-and•h•iurglass, with a lean body, ought in equity to have had a yoting lo king one. but a tropical climate has given it a bend. Still be carries it jauntily with an air, as who should say " Iley, daytime." Which of us semi-centenarians does not remember fly Lawis the Comedian? There was a man for a fight with Time! He drew up his chest, grasped the flaiii of his coat. d tergo, strutted from one stage-door to the other, with a stuff knee and a harlequin head, and teem-d, like old /Eon, to shake forty winters from i.is stoulders in less time than it would take a stuttering man to ejaculate Jack Robinson. " Even such a man" is Sir Jerk Withers ; rather older, indeed, in the body, but proportionally younger in the head. I will not positively assert that tine Gentleman rouges. Certain, lv.wever, it is, that whilst he was in the act of giving directions to one of the dome-buttoned waiters to pull down a window -bliad, in order to put out of view the circuitous stand of hackney-coaches, which was per forming a hippodrome revolution, in_what once was the Mews, I could not but remark that his shirt collar was slightly tinged wi.h vermilion. Nature made the eyebrows and whiskers of Sir Jerk, what Mothers call auburn, and all the rest of the world red. These have been cautiously dyed of a sort of mahogany colour./ So, too, he intended to dye the e hair of his head, as I h eve been credibly, info, med. Ti. process was terrific : few more so since the days of the Martyrs. Sir Jerk's head was rubbed with a magical composition, and he was e joined to sleep three nights with a huge. cabbage-leaf bttween his scalp and his night-cap, to awaken the virtues of the fluid. He adjourned to the inn at Salt-hill during the experiment, that nobody in St. James's-street might be privy to it. He arose on morning ensuing his arilval, with high expectations of his own irresistibility. He unbarred his window, like a male Aurora; and, after taking a peep at the little green hillock on the opposite side of the road to which the triennial highway-robberies of the Eton boys have given a celebrity rather disproportionate to its bulk, he preceded is his minor, and cautiously removed the cap and cabbage-leaf, in the full hope of finding his grey noddle transformed to a beautiful chestnut-brown. Alas.! the virtues of the fluid were not awakened, but those of the cabbage-leaf were! Sir Jerk's hair had become pea-green ! Half distracted, he drove home in a hack-chaise at night, hoping in the recesses of his lodgings in Charles-street to be the Green Man and Still. Fate ordered it otherwise: ill alarm of fire hurried him from his bed at three o'clock in the morn ing: he bolted out at the street door with such grecipi tation,. that his night-cap fell from his heed. A P cenix fireman, who had dipped into the classics, qualified in the dead languages by a new system of instantaneous, education, espying his virid apex, mistook him for old father Tuames, and exclaimed, with a Latin oath— •' All's right—here's Rex Fluviorum come to put out the flames!" Sir Jerk Withers has since taken refuge in a %sig. and cautiously abstains from visiting the ex hibition of the Royal Academy in Somarsti House, as the bronze figure in the quadrangle, pouring water from his urn, would excite an unpleasant association. Is it not a matter of wonder, that all men wh o wea r wigs wear such young ones ? The pat attorney's clerk cf twenty-fire, the portly merchant of forty, the gouty county member of fifty, and the Sir Jerk Withers of sixty, have not one of them a single grey hair in their wig. This is what the Lawyers call proving too much. Ever while you live *d Eye Nature's walks, and where she has planted grey ash trees, or cleared the ground by drnuding the top of the head, do not fly in her face by "rdiinghome a hyacinthine cause, with one of those curls, sometimes called love-locks, and sometimes heart breakers, playing carelessly over a forehead, where the crow has been busily treading beforehand. One would think th it this mode of making bad worse would be a matter of rare oecurrence.—quite the contrary. No sooner does a man take to a wig than he forthwith re solver to clap a yoUng head upon his old shoulders, and Sir Jerk Withers is too modish a man to be second in , the races to fact, his wig is juvenility itself, not a hair of i t being yet out of its teens. The outside of the head i t , i n that particular, as remote from the age of discre tion as is the inside of it. When Sir Jerk Withers had dispatched his dinner, be adjourned up stairs fc tt:e library, and I did the same. YCHIN "..m" 7/== l Z . Here he seated himself subs central table, and his bask to the light, as bygone beauties ars apt to do. i note dined with a certain German princess, at a certain house 'on the banks of Thames, to which a subsequent resi dent gave rnuc's temporary celebrity. The German princess had been a limonite toast in her day, hut that day was forty years ag0..., -Accordingly 'her 1 - I;ghness manteuvred to avoid frolting the light, with all the skill of an admiral getting the weather gunge. The contrivance answi red so well, that I did not look upon her as being older than two and forty; when suddenly a city barge, intent upon swan-hopping, sailed up the river. Her Highness was thrown off her guard ; the beckoned me to the window to behold the gilded and turtle-fraught vessel; Apollo 'looked her.full in the face: I did the same; and ter Highness shewed seventy•two! A similar accident nearly occurred to Sir Jerk. Hefted ambled to another table to fetch away a Transatlantic Review. The canvass blind was down, and just as Sir Jerk was stooping to bear off his prite, an unlucky waiter, conceiving that the room wanted more light, touched a spring. The blind flew isp ; the slanting sus darted his rays from the apex of Warwick-house into the Baronet's face. Exit bloom ; enter wrinkles : and I verily believe if the Ciub, like that of the Univer sity, had admitted Ladies, Sir Jerk would have hurled the waiter out of the window, across the street, even as Rotiontont, in Ariosto, ejected the friar dove miles into the Me.'iierranean. Hardly had S r Jerk Withers smoothed his riitil.rd plums, when General Fitz Meadows, an old :drool fellow of the Baronet, entered the club-room, and placed himself at the same table with the latter. " Ay," thought I to myself, as I surveyed their contrasted ex teriors, " this is what a Gentleman of sixty ought to be." The General's head is bald at the top, and the hair, which curls above the ears, is for the most part grey. His face is ruddy with exercise, and not with rouge. His body swells towards the base, as Nature means most Gentlemen's bodies at his afe to swell.— This is a matter of no moment to him. ale does nit, like his friend the Baronet, pinch his unhappy loins in stays, and procure a slight dim'nution of bulk in that quarter at the expense of causing his face to look as red as a turkey-cock, and his eyes to half start from their sockets. The fact is, patching never does any gond. I have seen a dandy at the corner of Hamilton place try ing to sub a stray splash from his Russia-duck trousers, and thus converting a splash into a ,mear. A bald 'head at sixty is worth all the foretops in Wigmore-street. Tuve is nothing like an honest deect. Piz-Meadows now read aloud from a Morning Paper an account of a recent riot in Dablin, where all business was suspended in consequence of a mariner in the Liffy having suspended an orange streamer from his mast-bead. 44 Happy people !" exclaimed the Ge neral, " to have nothing more serious than this to dis turb their repose ! By the by," continued Fitz-Meadows; speaking across the table to Sir irk Withers, "this rio ing reminds me of the riots in London in the year 1730. You and I, Withers, were at that time at Mer chant Tailors school. Let me see—yes—we were about fourteen years of age. If you recollect, we sto`e out to see the fun, and saw a baker shot in the Old Jewry.— Everybody was obliged to chalk' No Popery' upon their doors. Old Delpini the clown, being a Catholic, could not in conscience do this. He theie!oie chalked Up, 4 No Religion!' It is the business of a public performer to please all tastes.! While Fitz-Meadows was thus chionaloga'ng, a party of young Ladies, althou g h the Club was not an University one, were actually within ear-shot, escorted by a new member, who Way shew ng ' thenA k the Union-Lions. Reader, did you ever see John Kemllle, in the sty; ser scene of Macbe h, c itch the intrusive murderer by the arm, and stop his narrative by exclaiming.—" There's brood upon thy Lice !" luckily for you, ydu are too young so to have done, I can oaly say you should have been a member of the Union tat Wednesday last, and should have been a witness of the action and look of the proprietor of a young head upon old shoulders on the occasion in cp:ei tio 1. You might then have formed a very correct notion of what mi:chief a mal-apropos topic may some times produce. MANCHESTER, Aucusr 9, A plan for the formationrof a Joint Stock Bank has been drawn up and cirs.ulated. The principal argument put forward in favour of the measure is, that whatever might have been the c.suce of the present deptession of trade, such depression is prolonged and aggravated by the limited qtrantity of circulating medium now em ployed. The objrctionr to the proposed Conipany ap pear to be fully met in the Prospectus which has been issugd. The principal difficulty was a becoming feel ing of delicacy on the part of many persons towards those Flanking-houses which firmly supported their ere. dit in the worst of times ; and it is thought, by those persons, that the new B ink might interfere with the present establishments; but it is asserted, on the other hand, that the contemplated measures would tend to a more healthy and prosperous state of things, ultic't must necessarily be beneficial to parties so deeply inte rested in the welfare of the community as the Bankers of Manchester. The outline of the plan is, Oat the capital stock shall consist of 500,0004 divided into 5000 shares; no individual to subscribe more than 100, nor less than 5, shares; that 10 per cent. be paid within a month from the time of subscription, and 15 per cent. when the deed of settlement is ready DI be signed. The Company to be considered as formed WIRD the subscriptions shall amount to 1000 s'sares, and then a Meeting of the Subscribers is to be convened to elect a Treasurer and Committee of Management. When 2000 shares ate taken, the Coinpany to commence bu siness under the management of a President, Vice Pre sident, and twelve Directors. This is the outline of the plan, which will hereafter be mote rev:lady detailed. Lord Gnosvarron last week laid the foundation of a new Market•house at Shaftesbury, which is to b.: built principally at his own expense. • A galley convict having been tried for murder at Brest, and found guilty, the execution took place on the following day, as such persons have no appeal. All the convicts were present iv. chains. Whilst the Exe cutioner strapped the prisoner to the fatal board, they remained unearned and on their knees. Cannon, with their mouths directed towards them, were loaded is) their presence, and the troops charged their muskets, so as to be ready to 6re, if any disturbance bad arisen. In the midst of these Imposing preparations the criminal was put to death. The following witty simile, contained in one of To- WWI Comedies, is said to have been lev e ll e d by t h e author at Cumberland—" He sits there in his closet,' expecting inspiration, like an old rusty conductor wait• ing for a/ash of lightning."

BOW-STREET. • Xonnuter :1144, a partner in the hoar of Young, Black, and Youtig, respectable booksellers and.publishera residingin Tavistock street, Covent Garden, was summoned to answer the complaint of a poor woman named Haynes, who, charged the defen4act assaulting her son, a puny child only ten 'ears of age,awho accom panied her to the office. The mother stated, that on Tuesday evening last, the defendant; for some imputed offence of a trifling nature, struck the child, who was then in his employment as errand-boy, a liolent.Now on the side of the bead, the effects of which were still visible. She also stated, that Mr. Young, another partner, on a recent ()cession had horsewhipped her son most severely , and that be and Mr. occasion, were in the habit of using similar violence towards other buys Who were is their employment. .• • Sir Woman Starts.—What! horsewhip almor weak childlike this ! Really, Mr. Black— Mr. Black.—lf your Worship will allow me to explain. Sir Merman Biaam.—Certainly, Sir, I wish you to do so. Mr. illacl.—ln the first place, I know nothing of the horse. whipping which the complainant mentioned. It might have hap petted, although I confess I doubt it very much: Complainant.—Oh, Mr. Young himself acknowledged having horsewhipped the child when I taxed him with it. Mr. Black.—With respect to the present charge, I certainly admit that I. struck the boy on the cheek, in doing which, I believe, his head came in contact with the desk where I sat, but I had no in tention of hurting him; the reason why I chastised him was, br omic he was repeating the words of an indecent song, whichhe was in the act of writing out. Sir ilicitama Biume.:--This is no justification of your conduct. You hare no riAt to lay violent hands on boys in your employnient. England is a land of liberty, Sir, where the meanest shall find pro. tection, and where the infliction of the whip is not to be tolerated. You must either find hail for the present assault, or satisfy this pour woman for the blow you struck her son: Mr. Black, accompanied by tbe complainant and child, then left the office. After sonic time the mother returned, and said that she was satiafied. HATTON-GARDEN. Joseph Andrews, the driver of a hackney.eoach, was summoned before Mr. Hones's, for quitting his horses, and leaving them to the gutdance of another person. 'Alr. William (Innis, shopman to Mr. Ramsay, a pawnbroker, residing at the corner of laquorpond street, stated, that on Monday evening a large square of glass had been broken is his employee's window, and, on guii e y , to the door, be ascertained that it was in consequence of some lads who were throwing stones at two boys, who were then driving the defendants coach in a very furious and incautious manner, to the minutest danger of the passenger.. Com plainant ran after the coach to take the number, and, while in the act of doing so, defendant came up, and, in a mew abusive manner, inquired what he was about? Complainant merely said—" Ate you the driver of that coach ? Ifyoube,l shall hold you accomdable fur the breaking of the window." Defendant then became more violent than before, told complainant that he was a d—d fool, and eventually challenged him to light, which wat however declined. The defendant said that one of the boys who was on the coach box was son to the proprietor, and had often driven it before. The window was broken by a stone, and not by the coach, and, if the gentman was not a fool, he would bare seen that at once, and he did not know as he had any right at all to appear to the summons. Mr. Roacas, however, was of a contrary opinion in that particu lar, and, on referring to the Act of Parliament, it appeared that any hackney coach driver who might be detected in comtuktial hie horses to the care of auother person was liable to the penalty of ins. its which sum, together with the costs (3s. W.), he was convicted. The defendant said he would rather rot in prison than pay it, vireo if he bad tile money. Mr. Rooms said that his fonkude would be put to the test, ft 4 one month at all events, unless the money was forthcoming itt the interval. AI A RLUOROUG 11-STREfit Mn. Parra* again appeared before the Magistrate (Mr. Dm), respecting Mrs. Uefres's watch, value sixty guineas, which she was charged with stealing. Mrs. D. now consented to handbills being published, offering a reward for the recovery of the watch. She said It was one of a peculiar construction, and was formerly the property of Murat. Mrs. Defies and her husband have been in business as tobacconists, and she complains bitterly of being ob liged to remain in this country, on account of this affair. said they had engagements to attend to on the Continent, and they are losing tFwu►ands, because they cannot attend to those engagements. Mr. Dent said be could nor help that; she had preferred a charge against Mrs. Parrock of stealing the watch, and she niust appear and subuantlate it. lie should, therefore, postpone the matter for a week. " Oh dear,'Sir." said Mrs. Dares, awe intended being on the Continent in a week." " Then, if your business is so urgent," said Mr. Dims, " I'll bear the cage on Saturday." '• But, Sir," replied Mrs. Defret, " we intended quitting Lon don by the steam-boat on Saturday; cannot the watch be recovered and sent to me?" " No, Indeed it cannot," said Mr. Drzu, N you must attend here to claim it. 1 shall postpone the case till Saturday, and ex pect ybu to attend on that day." Yesterday, Hcary Down, a young man who has been souse days in custody oa a charge of robbing his erttployers, Messrs. Sewed and Cross, et Compton -street. Soho, linen-drapers and mercers, of pro- perty to an enormous amount; and a female, with whom he lived at No. 107, Brook -street, West-square, Lambeth, named Monks assni, was charged with receiving the property, knowing it to be stolen, were !troughs to the office. It appeared that the prisoner Dunn was the most confidential panto of upwards of forty in the employ of Messrs. Sewel and Cross, and although for some time past they have missed a variety of property, they almost suspected every body about them except the prisoner, and actually discharged several shopmen, clerks, porters; Ste. to no effect, fot still their property was vanishing. At length, about thee* weeks ago, Mr. Cross received private informa tion that Dunn, although his salary, besides board and lodging, was only 451. a year, kept a house and a mistress, in Brook-street, West square, and in consequence of this information a search warrant was procured, and Clements, the officer, sent to execute it at the house, No IC7. After a strict search the officer found a vast quantity of , property, and pawnbrokers duplicates for a great deal more. The woman, Smith, was then taken into custody, and she at once coa -1 fessed that Mr. Dunn had made her presents of all those things, bids declared her total ignorance of where they came from. She also said that Mr. Donn had takes that house for her. and paid .50L a year, besides taxes, for it; that be allowed her 11. a week pis. money, besides supplying her with dress and keeping two female servants, &c. so that net less than about 5001. a year could keep up the establishment. Duos, since his apprehension, has confessed the whole of Ws de predations, to which, he says, he was mainly instigated by this woman wbom he picked up at three o'clock in the moroipg at one of time; infamous bosses called Sash houses or finishes, in the neigh bourhood of Cevent-Garden, the fesort of all the vile characters, both male and fesnale, about town. Yesterday all the property found at the house in Stook street, and le the hands of the pawnbrokers, was produced at the °Meet and Identified by Mr. Cross as belonging to him and kis partner : so vast was t►e quantity, that the office actually had the appearance of a sale room; it consisted chiefly of silks of the richest quality, of various colours, some in dresses and some in pieces, silk stockings, gloves, laces, 4c. out of number, a variety of muslin' and prints, linen cloth and broad cloth, parasols, scarfs, shawls, pelisse., and speneers ; in short, to go through all would be to give an inventory of the contents of a haberdasher's shop.

EXECUTIONS. Saturday, James Adams, Join Baster* and Jaks who had been condemn e d at a:tiara-if Assize.; for assaulting and robbing Edward Wiley, 0, the night of the 17th of May, as be was returning from Wolter. haropt , in to Pattingham, underwent the dreadful stn• tence of the law on the new drop, in front of the county .gard at Stafford. Bossvorth had an interview with his sister on Wednesday. rVilliams's mother and two sisters, and Adams's mother and sister, took a sad last parting or their condemned sons and brothers bq Thursday, and a most heart•rending scene it was. Williams was more o7erpnwered by his feelings in the presence of his mother and sr t .rs• than Adams. Friday :right the ill•fated malefactors slept soundly lot some hours, and passed the early part of Saturday morning in offering up prayers. At the usual time the Holy Sacrament was administered to them. A few minutes before eight o'clock, all she preparations f .r their anal exit from tt.is world being completed, they were summoned to the scaffold, which 1114 ms and Williams ascended with considerable fir mness, but Bosworth was so ovens helmed by his feelings as to require assistance. They all con. ducted them .elves with the utmoat propriety, and made no address to the spectators, but continued in earne?t prayer till, on a sign..l being given, the drop fell from beneath their feet, and they were plunged into eternity. The sufferings of Ad.rms and Bosworth were soon over, but Williams, being a light weight, struggled for several minutes. After being suspended for about an hour, their bodies were cut down and delivered to their friends. Saturday, Hears Moss, convicted at Shrewsbury attesting two horses from Waters Upton, oaderwent the dreadful sentence of the law in front of the County Gaol hs that town. After taking the Sacrament from the bands of the Chaplain, be ascended the platform with a firm step, and was immediately latinclatd tato eternity. Monday.
