Dorman. linen draper of this City, requesting to look at some goods kw mourn ing, and very shortly selected articles to the amount.of about 121. which she ordered to be sent to a house in Breed Street, saying they were for her " nionsnea," Madame .ramie, and .that the money should be returned by the person Who brought them. It being suspected from ap'• pearatices, and also the unusual facility sbewn in the selection of the goods thit sonic trick was suspected, strict orders were given to the person carrying the parcel. not to suffer it to go out of his possession, without first obtaining the money. On arriving at the house, lie was sbewn into Mademoiselle's apartment, who instantly, by way of doueenr, offered hint a glass of wine ; after open tog the parcel. she took a piece of goods, and went out of the room With the avowed purpose of consulting her " mamma." , 'She soon returned, and making an o b j e ct ion , to one of the articles, as not being good enough, requested the young man to take that hack, and to bring a (outlier! quantity of crape and silk, with change for a 201. note,l which should be given him on his return. On this he proceeded to park sip the whole of the goods, and took' ' them back with him, in spite of the earnest entreaty of "'Mademoiselle," who begged him not to take that trouble, as he might leave them with her, till he brought •the &tides now wanted. In less than half-an-hour he returned with the order completed, taking likewise change for a' 01. note, and to anticipate any objection, provided also with'* Camp for a reegipt. On enquiring for the lady, he was formed that she was gone out. He then took the °poor. tunity to enquire if any thing was known respecting her,, when it appeared she had only arrived there that slay, and had taken possession of the lodging at 12 o'clock; that the "mamma" li..d not arrived, but was expelled in the evening, by the Ramsgate coach. This exciting strong suspicion in the mind of the party, he requested the mistress of the house to examine the state of her property in the apartments occupied by the lady, when it was dis covered, dist in the interval of the young man having left her house, despairing in spite of tier wine and smiles to cajole him out of the goods, and finding herself on the eve of being detected, she bad made the best use of her eireinsetanees, and robbed the house of plate consisting of silver tea spoons, a pepper box, &c. with which she had deestniped, and has not since been heard of. She appeps glioatt2 0r23 years of age, rather tall and slender, and no ways dashing in her exterior.--(Canterbury Paper.) MIL/0;010LT CATASTROPHE.—Monday last, a fine boy, between 8 and 9 years old, the sun of Itoht. Melsop, Esq. of IVarble Bank, near Woolwich, was playing in company with several other children, in a yard at the rear of the house, io which was a dray-well of great depth. Getting too near the brink, in order to look down, he unfortunately lost his balance, and was precipitated into the abyss; his sister, who witnessed the a:currence, ran into the house asEt aiping. foe assistance, and the first who received this' &48:1ftttintelligence was the agonised mother, who has s i nc e exhibited strong symptains of insanity. Several of the servants immediately proceedel to the spot, fearing a fatal conclusion to their search; one of the men, however, descended, an:l in a short time returned with Vie hoe in a' state of insensibility, but mit dead. The bucket lasing ben n in part lowered into the nell, fortunately intercepted the body in its fall, otherwise he must must inevitabl y have been drowned before any attempt could be made ar his rescue.

The East In is Company's warehouses being sometimes absolutely unapproachable on account of the barking system of about 500 of those New Street Act offenders, and the accumulation of their old 'clothes round about the premises, the' Honourable Directors base found it necessary to join setth the inhabitants for the correction Of the evil.

The Lity Solicitor thought proper to establish the charge only against two defendants. wno. had stopped persons on the pavement, and solicited ibeiti so deal. The defendants seeing that they were. liable to ,t be . infliction of a penalty of 51., declared they would attend to any directions of the Ward Officers, as to the mu et their business, which they say depends essentialig their way of " addressing" customers. Alderman LUCAS said, that as this was the first time tbh defewlants had been brought before a Makistrate for obstructing the pavement in this manner, he shoild reknit the penalties, but the' full amount shoold - undonbtedlk be inflicted upon the next offence that should be established under such circumstances. ; - • . • The ALDERMAN *give directions to the Moro seise any goods they might find exposed for sets' the 'streets, and to prosecute the owners, who, a this °warning, could have no excuse for continuing practice. The porter of the Golden Cross Inn, Charing Cross, was summoned for having extorted from Mr. Daviei, an inba bitaist of Crosby Square, more than was due, for the por terage of a parcel. . Mr. Davies said the charge Involved a question of some public importance; he bad been in the habit otreceiring parcels from Norfolk, directed for him to be left at the Flower Pot; but the'.gistieh owner, instead of dropping and sending citron from thence by the _porter, chose that tbet should be takei 'past the Flower Pot; through the eft, Nod liq at theNtden Cross. Charing Cross. From ~ , itie Oo den l !aross they. Were sent back ' into the city. And the complainant charged. thirteenpeote a parcel for the porterage, instead of threejence, which would have been the porterage' from the' lower Pot. ' This- was the case with the parcel in question: The complainant was confi dent that the law dint Wei authorise . loch' a practice, 'sod had• written a note to Mr. Horne, thti . innkeeper, polikely requesting him to digoatinue the practice, but' no Antic!, was taken of the request. ' The complainant then deboied that parcels and passengers were booked at the Plowtir Pot, for Fakenham, from whence the parcel *as bioitAt. and contended, as a principle, that the coatis *niters bad no right to charge for porterage, exceptildnit • the nearest booking office by which the coach passed. Besides the overcharge, the public suffer e d the raconveoiened .of delay by the unnecessary carriage of the parcels to - distant parts of the town. The porter saki it would canoe great inconvenience to On and " break bulk" at the Flower Put, as snore than lOU parcels were brought daily fin that Pace, and it would occupy a vast deal of time to unload. Besides, the coach office was not open at six in the morning. when the coaches same by, and nobody could expect the defendant's porters to go up to the Flower Pot these cold mornings to wait for the coaches. Alderman LUCAS decided that the tomb owners bound. to drop the parcels at the nearest Molting.. which parcels were booked fur the coach. The clefs., was convicted in the penalty of 10s. and costs. Harroir-Oartoex.—A long discussion occurredlyesterday at this office, respecting the question, certainly of some public importance, whether public officers have a right to insist on being informed of the residence of the mother of any illegitimate child, when they only pay towards the maintenance of the child, merely as the aoent of the putative father. ' and are by him reimbursed ; and when they are acquainted with the residence of the father, and with the place where the child is at nurse? The case out of which the question arises is shortly as follows: The mother of an illegitimate child had been in the habit of receiving from the parish officers of St. Andeiw, Holborn, a weekly amount under an order of affiliation, and which payment is reimbursed by the person on whom the order was made. The child is at nurse, and the parish insist on knowing the mother's residence. This she refused giving, and in consequence they stopped the payment of the money to her. • The woman applied to this office, stating her complaint, and a message was accordingly sent to desire the attend ance of the overseer. The woman said, her only reason for not giving her residence, was from a desire not to have it known in the neighbourhood where she was living with respect, that she had ever committed a fay. pas. She had reason to fear that her giving her evidence would lead to this result, as already, in consequence of the Official. inquiries made respecting the child, its illegitimacy sans become known in the neighbourhood where it is at nurse. Mr.• Sergeant Szta.ox thought the parish might, in the present instance, dispense with the inquiry as to her resi dence, which, as they had that of the father and the child, and were besides mere agents acting for A. protection of this child, could answer no beneficial ands, and could be but a mere matter of curiosity. If such inquiries were in every case persisted in, they , might be productive.of most unpleasant inconvenience to private families. 'le would always wish to throw. every possible shield over persons .who might have to lament a frailty like the present, and :prevent, to the utmok, its becoming the sulajectof unneces. vary remark or ekpottier. The issistant overseer, Mr. Wilks, in rep 4, stated, that be was actingon a general order of the Board of Directors of St: Andrew, Holborn, , and that 'although he had no particular reason for enforcing trite order la the present in stance, yet is a general order,*tre felt no desire in this Callao relax it. D'fiff. Sergeant Sebtox finding himself called onto dpillde, ated, that as he felt the case to be of iMportspat, is est*. •htishing a piecedeot, he most take time to contider;f Ids decision, sun also to enable him to avail himself Of 'tie" opinions of his brother magistrites.

Woatottr , STaarr.—Johnson, the bakers' dread, headed a batch of twenty or more bakers to this office yesterday, totinst all of whbin he hail laid informatious under the recent statute for the sale of bread. He and his aid-Ele a:amps are now, it appears, irking a circuit around the metropolis. lise celebrated Guaeay and Byers, his Witnesses, being, now as well known as himself, he dresses them in smock frorks, as countrymen, to prevent their being recognized; and their usual manner of asking i., " Give me a loaf?" without saying the descriptiim. The bakeri came to the investigation with a degree of coil& dance 'uousualin defendants, and, indeed, so sure were they of Johnson's defeat, that they were entirely careless. This air of indifference was raised by Mr. Sergeant Scion's decision. the Sitting alagistrate of Mitten Garden; and most of them were prepared with the Morning Papers that gave the publications of what transpired there on . Johnsou'a last visit. . . The first information exhibited was against Mr. Thoipas Maddison, a baker, in High Street, Shureditch, for Selling a loaf under the;diaiontination and description; of *a Wl quartern, and Without weighing the same. Ortawat, Juheaun's witness, stated, that on Saturday last, be went into the defendant's shop, and asked fora loaf. —The defendant replied, what, a lialtquarWrn leaf? And gees it to hint as such, without weighing the sioe, for width he 'paid' aid. Defendant. —Will you sireir that Wittiest-4' bite sworn it. Defendant.—Since Jnhntten's' fame h is- betn so raised, ill lie eirt my oath, I have tiev,4 said such thing: Here the defendant put in a bill which may bd seen lb Minest every hiker's Window In the eastern part oUttie , metropolis, on which was written —" Inforniers, take.' notice, no peciploel, half-peck, quartern. or halfeguartern, is sold here." • . , Magistrate (Mr. Twrvotte)—This will nos. avail yea. Here are two oaths against you, and urifortunately the law restricts me from the receipt of your oath. .1 .am of opinion the loaf produced, which-it. AS sworn you' sold.: does come under the denoaduation andaiescription stated in the Act. Defendart.-z-Look, Sir, at the Magistrate's °phials , at. Hatton Garden. Mr. Tv/TSORD—Wben I am oat of the office, and not' sittingblagisteriall I might bow to that worthy geetle - : man's opinion, an d in a point of law, I should meet ,gertainly do so; but when I sit on the Bench. I have to Iloside according to my own discretion; he decides upon ibis spirit. and not the letter of the Act; I decide upon Oath; and Omagh l have the misfortune to differ in opinion with some of my lorotber Magistrates, I should invariably, span such testimony, consider the legislature intended conviction ; though 1 wish to inform every baker, that in mone cue would I convict, where 1 saw the loaf had beer weighed. A , Johnson,-The defendant has not told you , Sir , that the Illowstreet Magistrates were first of Mr. Sergeant Sellon's 'pinion; but when I took another batch before them, and 'attended by Counsel, they changed their opinions, and did mpg hesitate to declare it; and soon, when I shall again I appear before Mr. Sergeant Sellon, on the same ammo, I shall i provide myself with a counsel , and I have little doubt. n saying, he will then change his opluion. —Tbe 'defendant was then convicted in the penalty of •ilhi. and costs.—Another information hail been laid, but the defen dant said, he considered it extremely hard, and Johnson's humanity induced him to wave the information, by the slifindant paying the costs.—Tbe next was Joh'? Bruttois , et the Kingsland-road, an extremely confident gentleman, !who scrupulously examined the informer's witnesses. Byers deposed, he went into the defendant's shop on Saturday afternoon, and asked for a loaf; the defendant gave it him for which he paid aid. without its being weighed.—Mr. Billiton denied that he had' sold the loaf to the informer's witness, and wished to be sworn. Magistrate—l cannot take your oath, Baker—Whit, not a respectable trades. man's oath, and receive a common informer's? Magistrate —The law binds my actions; L must convict you in the penalty of forty shillings and costs. The defendant gave notice to appeal. Another information was gone into against the same defendant, under similar circumstances, where ' even had be been allowed to sell the halfiaartern , it was 3ji ounces less then weight. He was convicted to the penalty of M. but entered into recognizance to appeal. ' ! The next information was against Charles Maynard, a baker, of ChisweWstreet, for selling a• hillquartern loaf. He was convicted in the penalty of 40s. ,-Mr. .Harmer's Clerk 'gave. notice to appeal, observing that he should be sale to prove no such loaf was Waugh' there, in which case the witness would be indicted for perjury.
