The opulent merchant—the plodding tradesman—the smirk ing clerk—and the fortnight's-holiday apprentice, all-- all find *their respective recreations and amusements in thee! The young are pleased, the aged smile, and the health of all becomes improved and benefitted by the salubrious bieez2s that blow-from thy happy and l healthy shores. The Steamers to and from this place bring and re turn, every day throughout the week, a number not less than from three to four hundred. The exaction of two shillings from each passenger, as pier duty, sticks dreadfully in the gizzards of the Cockneys; there ap pears, however, no redress for them at present. The town at this minute is extremely full—not a bill of 44 Lodgings to Let' is to be seen throughout the whole place; the boarding-houses. too are pretty well filled with company. The Duke of WELLlNOTow,during his stay bere, made himself very familiar with the visitors. He was pleased, to patronise a ball at Howe's, which was, in conse quence, well attended, and his Grace condescended to be present. This is good taste: it cost nothing, and was a circumstance that was sure to be the means of his ingratiating himself very highly with the public.— The Duca wrote his name in the subscription book at lizat.E's Bathing Rooms, and ten guineas hart been offered for the leaf upon which this is written. BEALE, however, prides himself so much on the honour of l having the Hero's name standing in his book, that he positively declares if any body would offer him 500 guineas be would not put with it. A Miss Dusw is singing here ; she possesses taste, • and her execution is good. 'Tis strange, that at this laughter-loving spot, comic singers are never engaged to amuse the frequenters of the libraties and public places of amusement. A good laughable and truly comic song, with a Toll-de-roll 101, or Ri-turn ale-iddle sie, at the end of it, would, one should think, be more suitable to the taste of the visitors of Margate, than all your fine scientific performance. If this were once tried, the truth of this observation would, there is no doubt, be creetually proved. DECAMP has been amusing the town with his Paul Pry, which was indeed as fairly given as could be ex peered. WALLACE, his wife, and the veteran Irish JOHNSON (in whose appearance the military officer is .s strongly traced) are likeniee here for their health. Poor KELLY, too, is daily wheeled down the health blowing Jetty, for the benefit of the sea breezes. 'telling goes on at the library of an evening as brisk as ever, and thousands are won and lost every night by the gamblers. Some little sensation has been created by a Lady baying. had her reticule snatched from her, whilst marketing , by some villian, who got clear off with it, and w hich, it is said, contained, in notes and gold, not 1666 than 101. A public breakfast was given at St. Peter's this morning. The weather being remarkably fine, crowds of visitors from Margate, /Unique Broaduairs, &c. attended. Much fashion and elegance were displayed amongst the Ladies. Of air entertainments glen (that is, paid for), this seems to be the most fashionable and the best attended. The first cert;ficate under Mr. PEEL'S Act, to enable the witnesses to obtain tbeir expenses for attending before the Ma • gistrates, was applied for at Guildhall, and granted yesterday, in a case of commitment for horsootealing. _ _ - - The plAgue is spreading at - Constantinople. All the Cof f ee Houses without exception, are shut up. It may be mentioned as a proof that the distress in the country is abating, that the Committee for the Relief of the hlanu facturine Districts have had very few applications during t►e present week. They are engaged, we understand, in devising some mode by which their remaining funds may be directed rather to the em ployment than to the direct relief of the suffering manufacturers, conceiving that they may by that means become more extensively beneficial to the districts. The water of the Trent has scarcely ever, wi.hin the r,e:nory of man, been' so low as it is at the present period. The s:eani packet to Newark has been discontinued, the passage Saving been found impracticable for some weeks past. At the Radnor shire Sessions, held at Presteign, Henry Miaow, the only prisoner, was found Gitiky of having cut the throat of his Wife, with intent to murder her, and against him Sen tence of death was recorded. EQUITABLE DEv:ce.—An old Italian, on his death bed, left little to his widow except a fine horse, and a favourite cat ; desiring, bowever.that the horse might be sold, and the p rice em pioysd in masses for his soul. The widow sent the horse and the cat to market, with an injunction to sell the horse foe a crown, but not except the purchaser also innight the cat for four hundred crowns. Tn this way she with case to bet' conscience got the tnonep fur het own use. iv o FRENCH TRAFFIC IN SLAVES. The following letter fr . oin the agents at Havre, dated the 22d of August, was received at Lloyd's yesterday : Webeg leave to communicate to you an extract of a report recently made to the King, by his Excellency the Minister of the Marine, relative to the slave-trade, and inasmuch as it displays the good faith and earnest desire of this Government to suppress, to the utmost of' its power, that odious commerce, we have considered it would be agreeable to Lloyd's to receive an authentic communication of the following details: " His Excellency states to the King, that the French Government has never relaxed in its efforts for the sup pression of the slave-trade: that the naval station on the coast of Africa, which, up to the present, consisted of a sloop of war, two brigs, and four othet vessels, has recently been reinforced by a frigate: that another force had been ordered to cruise off Cuba: that the governors of French colonies, and naval officers commanding in the We•t Indies, Cayenne, Bordeaux, and Madagascar, had received eke most positive and pressing injunctions to use alliefue vigilance, and to seize all French vessels which might attempt to trade in slaves: that orders had been issued from the department of the Marine, addressed to all King's ships on their leaving French ports, to assist in tie repression of this odious traffic, by boarding and searching all French vessels suspected of engaging in the same, and to detain those whose lading and equipment furnishei proof of their being slave ships. The Minister observes, that a Royal decision held out to the captors a premium of 1001. head money, for each slave brought in, to be employed in the public works; that French Consuls in the western coasts of America were authorized to sequester any French ship convicted of trading in slaves, with orders to send her to the nearest French colony for adjudica tion. Finally, 'the naval authorities in the ports of France are required to throw every obstacle in the way of the clearance of any vessel, whose outfit and general equipment may appear suspicious: they are commanded to be vigilant in preventing the shipment of manacles calculated for fastening slaves together, as also of a greater number of water-cocks or boilers than may be strictly necessary for the crew, and not to deliver the muster-roll in all cases where the number of the crew shall exceed that usually employed in vessels to which no suspicion attaches. The report aids, that all con traventions to the laws prohibitory of trading in slaves are judicially provided against ; that any, the slightest element of proof, shall furnish sufficient ground for bringing the delinquents before the tribunals. It states, that since 1817, 153 cases have been submitted to the Courts abroad and at home, which have led to 53 con victions and 74 acquittals, leaving 26 in which the le gal procedure is still incomplete. " The Minister concludes by observing, 1 Such, Sire, are the measures commanded and acted on with rigour, in order to enforce the strict execution of treaties, and of the laws : if they have not entirely suppressed this forbidden traffic, at least they prove that the Govern ment omits nothing having this object in view.'" POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man, with a sallow complexion, an invalid eciaatenanee, mad a sorrow ful aspect, which seemed to have belonged to him for no great length of time, came before the Loan Mama, to beg his Lordship's aid In procuring redress from the directors of the Real del Monte Mining Company. He said his name was Henry Doha, and that on the outset of the Company he had bees engaged to go out to the mine at South America. and give light to the concern by making candles for them. He was a chandler. It was agreed in his articles, that if he should find it necessary to leave the work, he should have 401. for his passage home, and three months' wages. He agreed to go out for 600 dollars per annum. Neither the people nor the place agreed with him. He became ill, and returned to this country, when, on applying to Mr. Taylor, the official person at the Company's office, for his wages, he was told they knew nothing of him, nor could he make them know, though he produced his agree ment. He could do nothing with them, and he was obliged to apply to his Lordship. The Loan MAYO& asked him, whether-he had really been at Real del Monte? Dobai' shook his bud moumfully, as much as to say that he had, Indeed to his cost. The LORD Maros asked him how it was getting on, and whether there was a great deal of work yet to do before they got gold. Doh*ll said, there was plenty of work to do ; the mountain was 12,000 rest above the level of the sea. He expressed his doubts, however, whether gold would ever be seen front it. The ars klavos—.Why, we were told not long since, as a commencement, that a columu of gold bad been found there. Dobell could not refrain from laughing outright. The Loma Matron—What, then, there was no column of gold found? ---_ . Dobell--Not a bit of it, that ever I saw, or beard of. The LORD Mato& asked what was the fuel they nude we of at the mines? Dobell said, they were at much labour In procuring fuel. They made charcoal, and got a sort of stuff which was not wetly stow, but which looked like stone, and burned exceedingly well, like turf. The LOILD Kraus asked what progress had been made in ckaring the mine? _ . _ Dobell said, that all the water had sot yet been got out. They did get it out once, but, just before be came, it broke in upon them again, and drowned 50 men. The Loan Maros —We never heard of this before. Were they Englishmen? Dobell—No, my Lord ; none of 'em : they were only natives. The wore 's* excited much laughter. The Loawhlamos asked what was the depth they bad yet to go? Dobell said they bad got down 600 fathoms, and had to clear 30 fathoms more before they cleared the place where it was supposed the ore was. The LORD nitro& asked Dobell whether he had, whilst he was there, made any candles? Dubell replied in the negative. The LORD P 141.1r0R. Whir so? Dohell—Because, when ire arrived there, we found we could get no tallow. (Much laughter.) The LORD Mairos.--Igo tallow why there are plenty of wild cattle there. Dobell—Aye but they are so thin and lean that there's no tallow to he got from them. (Increased laughter.) The Levu hlavott—We certainly import a considerable quantity of callow from South America. Dobell—Yes, but not from Mexico. TheLoass ilavoa—Well, I dou't see how they could find gold without candles; His Lordship proceeded to ask what be had got there. _ _ Debra said, be got nothing there but a cut in the head and a sickness; but he was thankful that he gut away at all. The Loan Mama asked hint how be got the wound which was visible on his head? ---.-.- - Dobell—l got it from the natives—it was one of their saints' days, and it was because I did not bow to an image that was car rh:d along, crowned with thorns. The Loan Iluvoa observed, that was just like our workmen. The complainant should have learned to respect the belief of the people; and to behave decorously at their ceremonies. Dobell—But they were carrying along a terrible ugly-looking image, what they called Judas, and were going to hang it, and I could not help laughing at it, when they pitched in upon us. The Loap Alavou--It was %%hat might have been expected. I presume that quarrels were frequent between you and the natives. Dobell—Yes; they are a devilish set that fight with knives. They killed as mary as twenty of our people. Tbey came behind me in their way with a knife. and cut me on the head. If Captain Lyon, who was standing by me, bad not stopped them, I should have bad the knife through my back. The LOAD Mato* asktd Dobell whether the country was pe pulous ? Dobell replied, Ulat it was at Tanspico, on the river Panapa, where they landed: There were about 20,000 pearl.. ; but in ge neral there were very few inhabitants. There were none at Real Del Monte. It was. quits a baste& phew The Loan MAYOR asked him o irem-it was that he did not get his money before he left? Dobell said.ihat Captain L be world be lute to get rim ; 4 44 his money on his return home. The Loan Cl i ptilbl , 4 114illbly was not aware bow scarce a thing motley had become, and what a change had taken place since he left. You had not heard, I suppose, of the breaking up of so many great concerns. DoboU-rWe heard of one of 'em, Goldsmith, I think his name is, having Mt. The Loan Maroc then looked over the complainant's agreement, which certainly, he said, appeared to be a regular and valid bistro meat. But there was one exception in it, to the allowance which the complainant claimed, that might occasion him some dif ficulty. It was stipulated, that he should have the allowance in question, on being compelled to leave work, provided his doing so did not arise from any misconduct or impropriety on his part. Now the company might plead that he got the wound on his head in consequence of his own misconduct, and that be had thereby for feited his claim. On the whole his Lordship said, that he did not see that he could render Dobell any assistance. Ile might seek a remedy by a civil action, but his Lordship recommended him to apply again to the Company, and to state that be had been desired to do so by the Lord Mayor. Dobelt thanked his Lordehip, and said be should pursue that cos.e. GUILDHALL. James Spencer, a sweep, was charged with attempting to enter a dwelling-house for the purpose of committing a robbery. Mr. Hill, of No. 17, West Smithfield, stated, that about three o'clock on Thursday morning, he was awoke by Mrs. Smith, who told him she had heard some extraordinary noise in the chimney. He listened for a moment, and hearing the noise continue, he got up and lighted a candle and looked up the chimney, from which he could plainly perceive that a quantity of soot and some bits of mortar had fallen, but could see nothing. He went up stairs to the room, over his own, in which his children slept, and found all quiet, and the noise having ceased, be concluded that his next door neighbour was having his chimney swept which caused the noise they had heard, and went to bed without further examination. In the morn ing he mentioned what he had heard to his neighbour, and asked whether he had been getting his chimneys swept, and was informed that he had not. He then looked at the top of his own chimney and found that the chimnerpot was removed. He again took a light, and looking up the chimney from his bed room perceived a man's legs. the man being evidently stuck fast in the chimney. He instantly sent for an officer, and after he came, finding they could get no answer from the man in the chimney, who appeared to be incapable of either moving or speaking, be sent for a sweep and ropes. The ropes were 'fastened round his legs, but it was found impossible to pull him out, and a bricklayer was sent for, who took down a part of the chimney sufficient to enable the prisoner at the bar, who was then the prisoner in the chimney, to come out of his confinement, in a state of great exhaustion. Mr. Hill, in explana tion of the manner in which the "tinnier might have got to the chimney, stated, that there was a house building near him front which the prisoner might have reached his over the tops of the in termediate houses. The prisoner being called on to explain his being found in such a situation, said he had some pigeons, and they flew away from him that morning, and he thought they might have gone down the chim ney, and be was going down to look for them, but the chimney being too small for him, he stuck fast. Several of the Officers said, the prisoner was known to be a re gular thief. Mr. Alderman WASTIIMAII told him that if he could prevail on a Jury to believe his story about the pi,geoas, it might be well for him; he was then committed for trial. BOW-STREET. aorta Frondses, an Italian, and James Rainey, an African black, were brought before Mr. Rot by the Mendicity officers, on a charge of begging. They were committed to the Hosse of Correction each for ten days. The former bad two children clinging to him ; and the bitter said that be came from Barbadoes in a merchant ship, Out on the ship's arrival in this port be was sent adrift without his wages. The poor fellow craved naerey,and said he was never before in a gaol. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Loco MAZYWIROI7OII AND rue Szooaa.—Mr. Robson, the Soli citor to Lord Maryborough, requested to see Mr. Roe. The worthy Magistrate instantly desired him to be introduced, when that Gentleman stated, that Lord Maryborough requested to know, whether his application had been attended to. Mr. Roe stated, that be was not aware what was his Lordship's application, Mr. Robson.—Lord Maryborough wishes to know whether Eliza Goodall, who was committed on Thursday week, for beg ging in Saville-passage, bad Been liberated, according to his Lord ship's request ? Mr. Roe.—Pray, Sir, did his Lordship request you to deliver this message to me? Mr. Robson.—Yes, Sir. Mr. Ros.—Then will you present my compliments to his Lord ship, and inform him that I know of no reason why such an appli cation should be made, nor of any cause to authorise me to remit the sentence which the person has had imposed on her. Mr. Robson made no reply to the lass observation of the Magis trate, but bowed and retired. The worthy Magistrate, on being informed of the application which his Lordship made, observed that it was a request which he could not comply with, for the prisoner was charged with a direct act of vagrancy—that of begging—and which being sworn to, he was obliged to commit her ; unless he believed the °Seers had per jured themselves; this he did not believe. The law, which was imperative, only allowed him to decide on what length of punish ment the vagrant was to receive, an which the helpless state she was in induced him only to send her for fifteen days, which in fact was only thirteen, as the day on which she was committed, and the day on which the sentence expired, are taken in. Up to the hour of closing the Offic., no further communication was received from Lord Maryborough. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, Daniel Sutton, Esq. a Gentleman of independent fortune, residing at Earl's -terrace, Kensington, appeared at this ofilct to answer the complaint of Thomas Beans, bricklayer, of New -street, Kensington, for refusing to pay him a balance of wages for work and labour done. The complainant stated that be had been engaged by Mr. Sutton to build a coach-house. He had received some money from him, and he now refused to pay the balance, which was 11.35. 9d. Mr. Sutton then addressed Mr. Geraoate, and said be would ea plain every thing satisfactorily. The fact was, be had contracted with Thomas Bean to do the bricklayer's work in building a coach. house, on the 5d of August last, and was to pay him Us. per rod, including gauge work; at the sad of the first week he advanced him 11.25. the second week he demanded 41.155. which was refused, on the ground that the work he had done did not amount to so much. He was, however, paid 11. Iss. but on the Monday follow ing he refused to work any more, without a further advance made him, which, of course, was refused. The work being measured by Mr. Cutbush, an eminent surveyor, it amounted to 11. 13s. 7d. altogether, and he now had the impudence to summon him for a balance for what he called day-work. Mr. Sutton farther stated, that Beans had shamefully neglected the work, and would only work when he pleased, as be said he never neglected an odd job in the neighbourhood when he was working by contract ; his servant was present when the agreement ' I was made, and he had brought him to the office. Mr. Glti.oo/1114 on hearing this statement, immediately recom mended Mr. Sutton to give the complainant in charge for leaving work contracted for unfinished. (Here the tables were completely turned, and Beans being given in charge by Mr. Sutton, he recapi tulated his statement, which was fully corroborated by the evidence of David Curtis, who was present when the contract was made.) Mr. Gasoorus—This is the most impudent proceeding I ever met with. Do you wish me to punish him (to Mr. Sutton), or do you think you can trust him tannish the work? Mr. Sutton—l wish him to be punished as an example to others. He was then sent to the House of Correction for 14 days. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, a number of tradespeople In the neighbourhood of St. Mary, Islington, were summoned before Mr. Twvromi, fur using false weights and scales. The Parish Officers were the prosecuturs. The parties were lined in the statuary penalties, and the light weights and false scales destroyed. L A M BET H. ST BEET. Santicvton.—Yesterday, a young woman, named Mary Assn Lloyd, was brought before the Magistrates, for having attempted to drown herself in the Regent's Canal. A gentleman named Ruston, who was returning home between one and two o'clock in the mondug, observed her climb the bridge at Blackwall, evidently for the purpose of throwing herself into the water, when be seized her, and rook her to the watch house. The poor gill told a ismentable story of her being seduced sic years ago by a lighter and Waterman at Blackwell. like lived with him Ave years, and had two children, when he descried her and left herin a distressed and dsstitute condition; he was now mar. tied, and had it.formed her frietids that she was • mu abandoned character. and live) by prostitution. On Thor•d.y everi, r. e n . ac:identally met Mm, and upbraided him fur Ma unprincipled e,,,. duct, when he beat her severely; she declared that h. q. taller was a farmer, and the proprietor of a respectable inn at Ipswich. The Magistrate wi,hrd her to give up the name of her seducer, in order that a warrant might be issued against him for the assault, but she refused doing so. She was sent to the workhouse, and the Magistrate directed that her friends might be apptized of her situation. DUBLIN POLICE roll4lollllr mt ?Mt ROYAL Tama AgirtillANCZ Cowart. —This but;. nessbnderwern another long investigation on Wednesday before Mr. Gramme. From circumstance* that transpired after the committal of O'DONsghue, on Saturday, warrants were issued fur the apprehen. sion of. Mr: narks Gaffney, who is r grocer at Stoney-hatter, and brother to Matthew, in whose name the shares in the Company% stock were vested.—Wednesday the prlsonets. Charles o.lfri y and O'llonoghue, were brought up from Newgate, when Messrs. Finlay and Hamilton attended as their Counsel; Mr. Sheil ap peared as haute, for the Company. On this investigation, it came out that Charles Gaffney first applied at the office of the Company for a transferor the shares which srood in the name a his brother. On being asked If he was Matthew Gaffney, he replied that be was not, bet be would send him there. O'Dourighue was then sent by his employer to personate Matthew Gaffney; the sequel of O'Dortoghue's proceedings Is already known. A long argument was entered into by the Counsel on both rider, as to the nature of the offence, and whether it was bailable or nor. After reirrting to a number of legal authorities, Me. Qasea s re sa id he considered himself justified in admitting the prisoners to bail, to take their trial for the conspiracy to defraud. The decision was assented to by Mr. Sheil, and they were accordingly bound over, themselves in I,OOOL and two sureties in lOW. each, to stand their trial at the next Commission. PARAGRELFS.—HaiI storms are of more common occurrence, and of mote destructive operation, on the Continent than in England. Ingenuity, therefore, has been more taxed to prevent their calamitous effects. The provision made for this purpose is called paragreles in French, from a word signifying hail stones. Para greles, when made in the simplest manner, con,.st of wooden poles from 35 to $0 French feet high, and fixed in the firmest manner in the ground, on the top of each of which is fixed a sharp point of yellow brass wile, about the eighth of an inch in diameter; to the bottom of this is fixed, by means of a slog, another yellow brass wire, about a 16th of an inch diameter, continued all the way along this pole to three or four feet under the ground, and fixed to the poles by small wire staples. By this description it will be teen that paragreles are merely lightning rods made in the simplest and cheape.e form, by which it is proposed to draw down the electric fluid from the clouds, and by that means to prevent the formation of hail. The paragreles ought to be placid at the distance of 450 Flemish feet from one an, ther. When any tall trees happen to be growing where the pole ought to be placed, the trees may be maie use of instead of erecting a pole. It is not necessary to say that as the paragreles are intendeJ to draw down elec• tricity, care ought to be taken, wherever they are placed, to warn the country people not to go too near them during storms. Repeated trials in America, its Italy, in France, and in Switzerland, rec immend strongly paragreles to the attention of agricultnrists. Mr. Thollards, professor of natural philosophy at Tarbes, in the Upper Pyrennees, says that he has seen, during six successive storms which took place there, 23d of April, Bth May, 3d, 15th, 16th, and 17th June, 1824, some districts covered with paragreles, p:esfrved, as it by enchantment, in the middle of other districts in which the inhabitants had not taken the same precau tion, and which latter were totally laid waite. Mr. As. tolfe, engineer, saw in the month of line, 1824, two frightful storm clouds, which poured down an immense quantity of hail upon a considerable extent of country, which passed harmlessly over a spice furnished with paragreles. There only fell some large hail.to.ies be tween the first and second line of paragreles, but in the interior there was only seen, to the great astonishment of the spectators, to fall, in the place of hail stones, drops of the consistence of snow. The Journal du Con . mem of Lyons, of Sd August, 1825, contain, a fact precisely similar, which happened to the vineyards of Corsier. Whilst the hail fel in great abundance upon the meadows' and fields situated withetst the line of pa. ragreles, there only fell upon the vines some flakes of snow, or rather a watery substance softer than snow.— An hour afterwards another cloud crossed the same vineyards, and presented the same phenomenon.
