A Ghost, which has for some time haunted the Grove, Cam berwell,who to the nightly terror of many harmless temales, has fortunately, for the peace of that neighbourhood, been placed in durance vile, and proves to be a Knight of the Comb, yclep'd a Bminza, who will doubtless receive the punishment due to his offence. VILE FIAIM.—A thick set fellow, of mean appearance, has been busy on the pave for several weeks in obtaining money of women of the town in gay life, under pretence of holding writs against them, and describing himself as an Officer to the Sheriff of Middlesex. In several instances the itnposter has actually presented fabricated Writs, and obtained money, from time to time, under pretence of favouring the unfortunate, who is under his grasp. This trick was practised at Brighton some time ago, and the offender is supposed to be the same man. In two or three instances he has attacked women in this way, on entering and leaving the Mattes, and succeeded in extorting money from them. Houle:Dz.—An unfortunate accident happened at the New Brewery, in Workington, on Saturday morning last, whereby one Millbam Robinson lost his life, under the following circum stances :—Mr. Rogers, the manager of the brewery, had for some time past found he was robbed of money, candles, and other articles, to a considerable extent. He tried, by marks on the doors, and other precautions, to find out by what way the depredator came into his office, and he found he came in the nights and forced a staple to suffer the lock to pass, and after wards nailed it on again, in order to make good appearances.— Mr. Rogers was resolved to watch in a room adjoining to the office, and discover the villain, that he might be brought to jus tice. After watching some nights, he and his brother, in a con venient place, on Saturday morning, about four o'c l oc k, heard a person force the lock. This was Robinson, the deceased, with a candle in his hand. Tie came into the office, and went to the • money, and was taking it, when Mr. Rogers placed himself be tween Robinson and the door that he had forced, presented a blunderbuss with a bayonet upon it, and ordered him stand and surrender himself. The villain immediately sprung at him, but seeing or touching the bayonet, he stopped and retreated for moment, and then sprung at Mr. Rogers under the bayonet, closed with him, and seized the blunderbuss. In this st r ugg le, the candle which Robinson had went out, and Mr. Rogers's brother ran to assist, and seized Robinson by the arms. At this moment, in the scuffle of all the three, and in the dark, the piece accidentally went off, and lodged most of its coutetes in the hip of the deceased, and fortunately without injuring either of the other two. Medical assistance was immediately called, • and every attention paid, but the man died in little more than an hour afterwards. He confessed to the surgeons that he bad been frequently there before. Au Inquest was held on Satur day, by R. Benson, Esq. the Coroner, and a respectable Jury. Atter a view of the body and the pockets, in which were found flint and steel, and a tinder-box, and also examining the pre mises, and after a patient and industrious investigation by both Coroner and Jury, a verdict was returned of—Justifiable Ho inicide.

TAKE the liberty of suggesting to those Adventurers in the Lottery, who have biterto met with no success, a few observar tions, which can scarcely fail of making a due impression, if they are open to conviction. In Card Parties, whether it be in the Palace of a King, the Mansion of a Peer, or the happy Dwelling of a Citizen, what i; the invariable custom adopted by those who have a run of had luck .?---Are they not anxious to change their Partners, —to change their S ats,—to cut in at another Table ?---An d does not every day's experience confirm the wisdom of this practice ?--Does it not constantly happen, that where Persons have been losing game after game, and rubbew after rubber, they lust as quickly recover back their loos, by the simple expedient of only moving their Situation, ar changiug their Partner ? Nov it must be admitted, by parity of reasoning, that the same Principle will apply to Adventurers in the Lottery. Let those therefore, who have already tried their luck at the Old Office., now make a trial at the NEW STATE LOTTERY OFFICE, No. 1, CORNHILL, VIE CORNER NKXT TO TIIE MANSION mum, "• Fresh Cards, and Fresh Partners , may yet m ake amends Fur former Bad Luck of Vorself, or your Friends. ttir J.
