IV THE EDITOR OF TIII BRITISH PRESS. Fs i,lay, J.inuary M, 1819. SIR-1 cannot remit noticing a paragraph, which appeared in your Paper of yesterday, stating the particulars of an assault c 1111 l milted on a girl of nineteen years, by what you have termed a " Dandy Tarquin." I have no knowledge of either part y. It plainly appears that the fellow took his station where he wool.' meet the girl in the most unguarded situation, in proceeding to the art of violence complained of; and had she nut, by nature, been more powerful than this Dandy (by the bye a thing nut nueommon), thereby preventing the commission of the act he intended, it is more than probable the public cams would have been again shock ed with the recital of brutality, a nd lie, the exquisite, placed in an awful situation I ant sorry to find, in the first in stance, that ouch a thing, so a compromise should have been at all ct - cu 11111 l ended by the Magistrate. Women are yet as valuable as ever they were, and. no doubt, entitled to as much protection as formerly. Were it not for the abun dance of such fellows as flee one mentioned, who wage war only with woman's weakness, we 0 Id not have our streets so well stocked with wandering unfortunates. I have only it/ ob that his father (with due sub. mission to his superior judgment), instead of discharging the Kirks, should have examined ittio the condom of such an unworthy son, who could so easily forget the respect due to womankind in general—so little prize the feeliiigs of his family—or so far d.h ise his character as a stair, by attempt ing to Cornwell ate black a deed. let this " Dandy Tarquta'• remember how his namesake of old was chastised; his sta tion in life must have given him au education which should have taught hint better. I would recommend him, as it is Hew r too late to mend, to benefit by the moral instructions be no doubt received i m his ynnth, to dress like a human be ing, and act like a Christina fur the future. Should this meet the rye of the injured girl, Or auy of her friends, I advise her, or them, most decidedly, to take the Magi strate's last advice, and prosecute for the assault, - disdaining all compromise. I beg to apologise, Mr. FAlitnr, for occupying so much of your time and spare, hut trust an injured trosaan's COWS will be a sufficient escuse. I ant, Sir, yonr humble Servant, A FOE TO VICE.

WHIMSICA L STOK K The following whimsical tol.k place lately at the Black Swan Imo, at York :—An honest 1.011 of lune, travelling northwards, having put up there for the night, had desired the chainhermaid to call him early the next mooning, as he washed to proceed on his journey by the coach ; and," added he, o as lam a very sound sleeper, you will moat likely lie ol.ligeol to come Ia and shake roe." Accordingly he left his door unfastened, and soon fell asleep. The ucxl myrning. when he awake, lie found the soon was high, and the coach moist have left him some homes behind. Vexation was his lirat feeling, the next was that of vengeance against the faithless Molly. Accordingly ha proceeded to inform himself of the tome of day, that lie might tax her accurately with her omission, aggravated, on los mind. by every additional hour that he had lust, bast after groping for some time moiler hos pillow for his watch, it was not to be found! 'rhos effectually roused hint, and lie launched at once out of bed, hut no sooner found himself on lois feet, than he discovered that his clothes hail likewise vaiiisheol. It was now evident to him that he hail been robbed, but a little mire rubbing of the eye convinced him that he must have been also stolen himself, as the room, bed, 811t1 fOrlll - were all strange to 111111! Indeed, he was positive in his own moot that he hail never beheld them before. It was equally clear that he had gone to bed saber—so, being completely puzzled, Jack sat himself down on the bed to make a calculation, as he hail often done at sea, in order to discover, if possible, in what precise part of the glebe he just then happened to be, and how he came there. He had read of the Enchanted Carpet, by which persona could be transported to the remotest parts of the world in the twinkling of au eye; but be Never bad heard that these fairy tricks haul been played at or near York, to which place lie bad now distinctly traced himself by his log. His next thought was to lake an obserration—i. a. by looking wit of the window; but he could observe nothing but tops of houses. This view, however, rejoiced his sight ; for, thought he, I am still in •civilized country—this place may be York, where, if my scopes do not deceive me, I went to bed lest—at all events, I shall have justice done me. Bast the enigma still remained unexplained, and poor Jack had no clothes to go in quest of a auhttiou. At last he spied a bell rope, and giving it a hearty lug, he leaped into bed again to wait the issue, come who might. It was no enchanter who answered this summons', but only poor Molly. " Su, you me there, arc vuu ? Pray why del you not call me at seven o'clock, as I desired you -" I did, Sir, but you did not answer me!' Theo why did you not come in and shake me ?” I did come in,Sio,but you were gone."—" I tell you I have not been out of bed all iiii:lit; you must have gone to the wrong room." " No, Sir, 1 wont to No. 12, the room that 1 put you in last uight ; besides, there was your watch under the pillow, your impresatun iu the bed, and your clothes placed ready fur putting us."—" Then, where the devil am I? and him came I here?"—" You are a story higher, Sir—just over your own room."—Our hero was now satisfied that he had been rumb ling over the house in his bleep, and had mistaken a story in rrturioing to his own room. He then recollected that 111111 WAS a trick to which be had been addicted when a buy, and the fatigue of a 'sag journey hail probably chiefly contri buted to revive 14 s 0111 habit. The whole affair was now accouit• d fur, wool Molly proceeded to fetch the clothes of the disenchanted knight, resolving within herself never to trust her own dour open again, lest it should be entered accidentally by wine sleep-walking traveller.

[From the Third Yuliime of" Dr. Franklin's Memoirs," lately published. Anergns was a gentleman of a good estate; lie was bred to no business, ■nd could nut contrive how to wuste his home agreeably; he had no relish for any of the proper winks of life, nor any taste at all, tor the improvement of the mind ; he spent generally ten hours of the four and•twenty in his bed; he dozed away two or three more un his couch, mid as many were dissolved in good liquor every evening, if he met with company of his own humour. Five or six of the rest he sauntered away with mulch indo lence; the chief business of them was to contrive his meals, and to feed his fain, beforehaial with the promise of a dinner and sapper; not that he was so absolute a glutton, or so entirely devoted to appetite, but chiefly becaose he knew not how to employ his thoughts better, be let them rove about the sustenance of his body. Thus Ile had made a shift to wear off ten years, since the paternal estate fell into his hands, and yet according In the abuse of words in our day, lie was called n nian of virtue, because he was scarce ever known to be quit:: drunk, nor was Ms uature much inclined to lewdness. . _ Oue evening as be was musing alone, his thoughts hap. paned to takes moat unusual turn, fur they cast a glance backward, and began to reflect on his manner of life, he bethuiselit himself what a number of living beings had beets made a sacrifice to support his carcass, soil how much corn and wine had been mingled with those offerings. He had not quite lost all the arithmetic that he learned when a boy, and he set himself to compute what he bad ilevuuted since he castle to the age of , u "About a dozen feathered creatures, small and great, have, one week with another (said lie), given up their lives to prolong mine, winch in ten years amounts to at least six thousand. " Fifty sheep have been sacrificed in • year, with half a hecatutnhe of black cattle, that I might have the choicest part offered weekly upon my table. Thus a thousand beasts out of the flock and the herd have been slain its ten years' time to feed me, besides what the forest has supplied ins with. Many bomb-eds of fishes have, in all their varieties, been rubbed of life fur my repast, and of the smaller fry as many thousands. " A measure of corn would hardly afford MC fine flour enough for a mouth's provision, and this arises to above six score bushels, and many hogsheads of ale and w toe, and other liquors have passed through this body of tome, thil wretched strainer of meat and drink.
