LINGARD'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND. ilia Volume will comprise the Reigns of the Sister Queens, WRY and ELI/GAM:TH. The Reign of Mary, though short and r..;;lorious, is not devoid of interest, and the Restoration of the Catholic Worship, the Persecution of the Reformers, and the Conspiracies and Insurrections of the Discontented, are subjects which will claim and engage the attention of the Reader. The Lag Reiga of her successor, a Reign which occupied nearly :he half o f a century, will offer to his view a succession of still racre interesting events. He will observe the steps by which Eli zabeth abolished tke ancient, and introduced the reformed, hierar chy and worship; the severities with which sbe repressed the iscontent of the Catholics and the intemperance of the Puritans ; er ambiguous, and often unjustifiable, conduct towards the un •::-...utats.istary Stuart; her intrigues with the Scottish, French, and Flemish religionists ; and her wars, the consequences of those i-trigues, with their several Sovereigns; the extension of the English commerce under her auspices ; the triumphs of the Eng b..ll Navy over the formidable fleets of Spain; the-successive rise r. 41 fall of her different favourites; and the cares, the sorrows, and Vv. despondency of her declining age. It is difficult to imagine I.l.vjects better calculated to interest the feelings of Englishmen. Li the composition of this Volume, the Author has carefully tompareii t'ue narratives of preceding writers ; has perused with reteßtion the many collections of etate papers belonging to the trrind ; rod has frequently consulted the dispatches of the French, the and the Imperial Ambassadors. Ile is satisfletwith ietuit of his researches :—thty have enabled him (so at least L flatters himself) to elucidate much that has been thought ob- Et:se, and to discover much that has been hitherto unknown.

To such persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impos sible m prepare the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which pos.' sesses the advantages of portability, and of keeping in any cli mate, will be found a most desirable mo 4 of employing this much esteemed Medicine. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the skin v such as the Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Sytnptems, &c. arising from a diseased state of the system at large.

Miar.itosibienft.-asom.eis one FRAUD.—Yesterdal Jonathan Man, a middle-aged man, was brought up, charged by Mary Biniky, au infirm old Lady, with defrauding her of .4"5.50 Wavy 5 Pea Cent. Annuities. The old Lady stated, that at the time the transaction took place she lodged in the same house as the prisoner, in Tottenham-street, and she was then.very ill in bed, and unable to get up. The prisoner several time.s called on her, and once went with her to the Bank to receive a divi dend. Sisetad afterwards said she would give him the money at her death, meaning the interest for life, and £lOO to each child. • Shortly after•be called on her, acct presenting a paper partly folded down, desired her to sign it ; the complied with his request, and asked him no questions about it, as she did not doubt his honesty; her memory was so impaired by age, that she could marcely remember anything. The next day be called and gave her 0 or 25 sovereigns: she said then she did not want so much money, but he gave it her : in a day or two after a clerk called on her, and informed her she had made over her property by power of attorney to the prisoner. She was sur. prised at this : be men have imposed upon her ; she did Dee read the paper site signed, neither had she consented to make over her property . . Mr. John Chapman, of Ogle-street, Diary-la-borne, 'stated, prisoner-bid seSeral times called upon him, and often stated that an old Lady whom he knew was likely to die, and she weed to make over her property to hint, and she wanted to establish him in business; the witness advised him to get the money; •he said he was diffident, but the witness believing him to be a wor thy and honest man, had called at his house, and there the pri soner informed him how he wanted his services, and read a power of attorney, signed by Mrs. Dinghy, coareying over to him the whole of her property. The witness, thinking it was all right, signed it. In a day or two after, a clerk Called upon him to know whether his name was put by him to it ; and called upon the old Lady. The clerk then, to her astesdainnent, ex plained the whole business, 'adding, ust the D ripper had parti cularly requested to have 100 sovereigns. He had ever since exerted himself to discover the prisoner, and hatl'ealled upon him on this business; but the prisoner directed him to go away, as he had nothing to do with it. lie mentioned Os him the old Lady's case, and prisoner appointed to meet him at the Club the next evening ; and when be got there with Mrs. Bingley, he found the prisoner had sent in his resignation. Joseph Dutfield proved having also, by request of prisoner, put his name to the power of attorney. An officer proved apprehending the.prisoner. He could not obtain any direct answer from him as to the disposal of the money. He found nothing. • The prisoner, on being asked whether, he bad any questions to put, asked Mrs. Bingley whether she had not assigned over her property with her consent, and w,hether sfie did not wish to do so ? -The old lady replied, No—never. I did intend at my decease leaving the money to your three children, and you to have the interest of it during your life-time. . The prisoner then handed in a paper, purporting to be a re ceipt for the whole amount. " The Magistrate (Mr. Ostrrten) read it, and observed, you had better recollect yourself before you go any farther ; you are very deep in guilt, and I believe you are going still farther; for the sake of your own conscience you ought to make all the repa ration in your power, but I don't premise yon anythlog for that. The prisoner said, he wished the woman should be asked whe ther she 4id not sign the paper. The Magistrate still hesitated, and recommended him to take care however, without *hewing Mrs. Wrigley the paper, be asked her whether she did sign any other paper for the prisoner but one ? --- - The old lady solemnly declared she bad not : she wished to see the said receipt, in order that she might examine it, to know whether it was her signature. The worthy Magistrate, however, did not permirber to welt, and again remarked to the prisoner, that he had better pursue a different course : he would have Borne dine fur reflectlua ; and he then remanded hint for another examination, Guitioratt,--The porter at the White Bone Inn, Fetter-lane, was summoned at the instance of Roach, Rut. of Furni val's Inn, who stated that he was in the habit of receiving pre sents of game, and although he resided so short a distance, he had invariably been charged four-pence porterage. When he called at the office in Fetter-lane, he we/ treated very cavalierly,, and told they were aware the sum allowed by the Statute was only three-pence, but they always charged four-pence, even for the shortest distance. He (Mr. Roach) thought the Public should know how they were imposed on, and that the law allowed but three-pence as porterage for parcels not exceeding 501bs. deli vered within a quarter of a mile. The book-keeper urged a long practice of doing so, and offered to have the ground measured. It being hinted to him that a quarter of a mile was 440 yards, while the distance from the Ina to Mr. Roach's chambers could be scarcely 200, he very prudently submitted, and was fined 20$. and costs, the moiety of which, due to Mr. Roach, he let/ to Alderman oa t to be disposed of in his Ward. Bow-sraerr.--Patreastariou Of lin Strinti, an Italian, the landlord of the Star and Garter, fin. Martin's-lane, appeared to answer the complaint of Benjamin - Ibbersan and James Cuttermole, for permitting tippling in his house on the evening of Sunday last, when the complainants found a Chair man sitting with a hammer, calling for songs and knocking.— They heard two songs, " Polly Cox," and March Away ;" and oa refusing to sing when the others had done so, complainants were hissed out of the room. This uncivil treatment appeared to be the motive for the steps they had taken. 'ljie landlord de nied the charge, and after calling persons who were above and below the room where the offeoce occurred, who also denied that there could have been singing., the hearing was postponed, to give Mr. Striuzi the opportunity to produce some oethe per sons who were actually in the roots.

Quirst-sunaaa.—An old man, in a most deplorable state, was charged with sleeping in the open air. He stated, that be bad ben in a respectable line of business, but hadlost all his property in trade, and had lately lived by puttering. On Monday night a man treated him with beer, and' afterwards beat and threw him on the fire ; in consequence of which be could not reach home, and lay down on a step.—He was ordered to be locked up till the truth of his story could be inquired into. 111 iry Chamberlain, a decent-looking woman, with a child in her arms, was charged with a similar offence. She stated that her husb and had been a respectable tradesman.. but had failed; and, unable to bear the sight of his distressed family, had eloped. By persevering industry, she had supported them till within the last three weeks, when being unable to pay her rent, she was turned out of her lodgingi ' and the street had been bar only re fuge. She had applied in vain to Mr. Thatcher, the overseer of her parish, who had refused to listen to her story. The Meer trate observed, she was not of the description of persons gene rally brought before him, and advised her again to apply to Mr. Thatcher, and if be refused to assist her, be wou ld grant a MI. mons for bin appearance. A boy, tea years old. who was found sleeping in a hollow tree in the Park, was brought up. lie said his father, who had been a bricklayer's labourer, died about sla weeks agn, leaving bin destitute; since which be had subsisted by begging, and slept every night in the said tree. The Magistrate recommended him to the Metidicity Society. A waggoner in the employ of Mr. Bent, coal-merchant, was fined 10s. for riding in his waggon, leaving no person to take care of his horses.

Lydia Church was led by her mother and another female friend into the parlour, and on the appearance of the prisoner 'before her, she evinced the same agitation and distress of mini as on Monday last. After being swore, she was asked by ,the Magistrate if she knew any of the boards produced as those ,which were brought by the prisoner to the house near her mos , Bier's? She looked at several of them, and exclaimed, " I know them too well; the name ' kitchen' is written in pencil Upon 'three of the boards which he brought last Monday night week. Her feelings were highly agitates!, and she said, " 0 take himi 'away. I cannot bear to see him." The worthy Magistrate very ; kindly endeavoured to soothe her extreme grief, and assured her *he was not insensible to the merit of her conduct. It was proved 'by John &melt, that the three boards; with kitchen' on them in pencil, were the property of Messrs. Lawrence and Cover.: The prisoner was committed to Clerkenwell for trial for the petty larceny. Lydia Church being bound over in the usual way to appear to give evidence, she could just articulate " I will, L will, If I shall lle then alive." New Vaosaser Acr.—On the 2d tilt. James Skitter, driver et a Shacklewell coach, was convicted in the penalty of £lO for. carrying one more passenger than he had a right to do. The pc-, nalty was not then paid, and this informer went privately to Skitter and his wife, and persuaded them, if they would g ive hi m £5 they should be freed from the rest of the penalty. The penalty to the King could net be remitted, and proceedings were adoptid by this Office to recover the whole, so that Skitter paid £l5 in stead of £lO, and a warrant was granted under 3 Geo. IV. c. 40. stc. 3. against the informer. Mr. Berst.i. said, it being the first offenee, he should commit only for one month, and enquired . if 'lemma was inclined to pay back the £5. Benwell observed, he did not expect being committed, and he was therefore In clined to keep the money; but being cautioned by the Magic: trate that he had power to send him for three months, he paid • over the money. Mr. Brvitr, then said, in consequence of what he had now done, and being the first offence punished under tale Act, he would commit him for only 14 days. Mastsoseucst-,rattler.-Yesterday a Gentleman, a resident of Beckenham, in Kent, attended at this Office in order to procure the assistance of an officer to search the houses of some anato mists at the West End of the Town, to discover whether the body ' of his father was secreted in any of them. It appeared from his statement that the body of his father, in the course of last week, was buried in Beckenham church-yard, which had been robbed of several dead bodies, and among the rest that of his father was stolen. The night the resurrection-lien performed their opera tions, a can, driven by some ruffianly-looking felloWs, was ob served on the road leading to the town of Beckenham. The? requested the landlord of a public-house to allow his boy to mind • the horse and cart ; they then proceeded in the direction of the church-yard, and returned soon after with something deposited ' in sacks, supposed to be the bodies of dead persons. The Magistrate allowed an officer to accompany the applicant to the house of Mr. Brooks, but the body of his father could not be found there. They afterwards went to the various dissect. , lug-rooms at the West End of the Town, but the result has not yet transpired. Lismersti-sTlMlT.—Traliaat Hodges was-charged with being an accomplice, with two other ruffians not in custody, in attempt. ing to rob a burying-ground. Coltman, the Constable, said ht was at Poplar watch-house yesterday morning, when J. Piper, a watchman, informed him there were thr e e resurrecti on men i n Poplar Chlpol burying-ground; in consequence, he and Piper wait there, :ruled with pistols and cutlasses, and chased theca for some time about the tombs. The rut& ins at length got over the wall; tutu the garden of John Stock, Esq. where the prisonet was *evilest, but the other two escaped. After he was lodged in the watch-house, witness returned into the burial-ground, and found that the bodies of a Mrs. Patusore, who died sud denly, and of 1). Whittaker, a pauper, were partly disinterred, and close to the spot lay two bags, two great coats, two shawls, a sealing-ladder, and an iron instrument for bursting open tht coffins. Joseph Piper stated, that there had beta a suspicion for some time back that the ground bad been robbed. He was employed to watch the dead, and on Tuesday night he saw three men get over the wall at the opposite side. He waited for some time, and on witnessing them disinterring the bodies, he gave information to Mr. Coltman. While he was employed burying the corpse on Friday last, the prisoner helped to fill the grave, and asked various questions about the deceased.
