(From the Memoirs of Vidocq.) The careers (shoplifters) are extremely skil ful in their profession. A woman named Caron, the Duchess, and a Gipsy woman named Gaspard, invented the following plan for levying contributions upon the priests .—By a regular attendance at church) , the outward appearance of great devotion, and a regularity in going to con fession and the sacraments, they recommended themselves to the notice of different clergymen, whose pecuniary circumstances they took care to find out from the charwomen in the churches of those whose duty it was to light the tapers. As soon as they found that one of the priests was worth powder and shot (such was their ex pression), they called at his house under pre tence of getting him to say masses for some de ceased relatives, or to ask advice upon a scruple of conscience. They frequently expressed a wish to perform some devout act, and often left money with the priest to be divided among poor persons whom he might consider worthy objects, and requested him to mention their names that they might call and give them further assistance. As soon as these women acquired the confidence of the priests, they took the very first opportunity of robbing their rooms of a watch, plate, money, or any thing they could lay their hands to—and to carry on their villany, they robbed the unfortunate persons whom the clergyman had pointed out to them as fit objects for chalky. The Gipsies not only carry on this trade, but often add murder to the list of their crimes—and they are the less shocked at assassination, as they have a particular mode of doing penance, which they think completely absolves them. They wear a stout woollen chemise for a year and refrain from labour (thieving.) In France most of these people call themselves Catholics, and affect great devo tion, carrying always about them beads, cruci fixes, &c. They say prayers morning and even ing, and attend the offices regularly. They often travel in large companies through the country to the great terror and injury of the peasantry, whose cattle they poison or destroy. Those Gipsies are very clever in killing animals without leaving the slightest sign of foul play. They kill cows by piercing them in the heart with a long thin needle, so that an internal extravasation of blood takes place, and it ap pears that the beast died of some disease. They deprive fowls of life with sulphur, well know ing that the peasantry will not touch the bodies, as they imagitie some complaint caused their death. They consequently live well, and en joy the most delicious meats. Whenever they take a liking to ham they tie a salted herring to the end of a stick, and hold it be fore a pig, which follows them every where, and they kill it the moment they arrive at a conve nient spot. The rouletiers are engaged in robbing the diligences and other vehicles for public convey ance. They are extremely clever in carrying off trunks, portmanteaus, &c., from carriages ; but they are very ignorant in other respects, as will appear from the following occurrence :—One of this gang had succeeded in stealing a trunk which contained a diadem of immense value, be longing to the Queen of Naples. The thief, not knowing the value of this article, and wishing to save the expence of a silvercomb, which he had promised to the young woman he was cohabiting with, gave her the diadem as a present. She, proud of this ornament, wore it at the first dance she went to—and in this way the property was recovered. There is nothing so easy as to know a thief ; he can never keep in one place, and may be said to be in almost perpetual motion. This gives him an opportunity of examining different per sons, and seeing if they are worth the trouble of robbing. Whenever a thief approaches a crowd he lets his hands fall carelessly, but in such a manlier that they rest upon a stranger's pocket or fob, i❑ order to form an idea of their contents. If a good chance presents itself, he gives a signal to his companions, and they commence opera tions. The moment a watch, purse, or any thing else is taken, it is passed from the hands of the principal into those of one of the subordinate agents, who gets out of sight as quickly as pos sible. There was at one period a most extraordinary pick-pocket in Paris, who excelled every other member of the profession. He would place himself in front of the person whom he intended to rob, put his hands behind his back, and, in that manner, convey away a watch or any trinket or jewel which his fingers could get at. This kind of theft was called robbery a la chicane. A pick-pocket, named Moulin, tried to rob a gentleman of his purse as he was going into the Theatre Francaise. The stranger felt the pull at his pocket, but Moulin, without losing his presence of mind, quickened the motion of his hand, and extracted the purse. He immediately opened it, and took out some silver to pay for a ticket. At the same moment the gentleman said to him, " Sir, you have taken my purse—give it back."—" Troun de Dious !" replied Moulin, in apparent astonishment, " are you quite sure ?" Then looking attentively at the purse, he ex claimed " Bagasse—l really thought it was my own ; upon my honour I beg your pardon." At the same time he handed back the purse—and the bystanders imagined that he had taken it through accident. Five persons have recently died at Sackville College, East Grinstead, within a few weeks of each other, whose united ages amounted to 440 years. Two of them, a female named KNIGHT, and a man named JENNER, were each 92. The writer of this paragraph has frequently heard the latter recount the outrages com mitted by a gang of smugglers, culled the " Hawkhurst gang," which infested the county of Sussex in his boyish daye.—Brighton Gazette. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, I:;29. COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held. BAD MEAT. Mr. DUNSBY presented a memorial from certain parishioners of the ward of Farlinglon-within, stat ing, that after having made inquiry as to whether the carcases of th , ordered cattle were in the habit of being sold at Newgate-market, he had found that such practice did exist, and that the bad meat was chiefly purchased by makers of polonies and sausages. The memorialists prayed the Court to adopt such measures as it might think expedient for the protec tion of the public. _ _ The memorial was ordered to be referred to the Committee of City Lands. PARLIAMENTARY RETURNS. Mr. FAVELL presented a petition from Mr. Mar shall, of Northampton-place, City-road, setting forth that he had been occupied in preparing a digest of all the accounts laid before Parliament from the be ginning of the war in 173, up to the present time, the expellee of procuring which had been to the country upwards of 2,000,0001. The digest would present an abstract of all the great transactions of the country, and would manifest the entire re sources of the country. The work was patronized by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master of the Mint, the Board of Admiralty, &c., who had each ordered a number of copies. Copies had also been ordered by several distinguished Members of both Houses of Parliament, but still the subscrip tions were very inadequate to the expence of pub lishing the work. Under these circumstances, the Petitioner submitted it to the consideration of the city of London, the centre of all financial opera tions in the world, as well deserving its support and patronage. . . . . Mr. FAVELL supported the prayer of the petition, and it was referred to the Library Committee.

WEYMOUTH, AUGUST 5. Lord Yarborough, as Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club, has arranged for the whole ilea to ren dezvous in our Bay,previoms to their complimentary excursion to the French coast. If any thing can add interest to the numerous local advantages incident to this beautiful bay, the preference of the Noble Commodore must form the ne plus ultra of attraction, which will be the more effective, as occurring at the period of our Regatta (21st and 22d August), of which Joseph Weld, Esq.. is Steward this year, and who evinces the imolt intense anxiety in promoting an object ever peculiarly interesting to him ; being one of the oldest Members of the Royal Yacht Club, he has doubtless been instrumental in inducing this arrange- ment. Our numerous visiters and the neighbouring gentry, who are fond of aquatic amusements, will enjoy the gratifying but rare opportunity of witness ing at once the finest display of scientific marine mechanism and naval tactics which this or any coun try can boast of. We anticipate that our Races, which are fixed for the 3d and 4th•of September, will this season be proditttive of most excellent sport, at least equal, if not superior, to any in the West of England : if the materiel be any criterion, it is most propitious, the King's Plate of 100 guineas, the Gordon Plate of 50 sovs., the Members' Plate of 50 sovs:, and the Mayor's Plate of 50 sovs., being to be run for on the first day, besides the Tradesmen's Plate of 60 sovs., &c., on the second day. Among our late numerous arrivals is Joseph Gui ston, Esq., R. Y. C., whose yacht Nelson brought up in our roads on Wednesday Morning last, since which Mr. Gulston has entertained Mr. and Mrs. Buxton and a select party at dinner, and the follow ing day gave a dejeuner a la . fourchelle to all the beauty and fashion of Weymouth ; among whom we noticed Lady and Miss Ford. Lady and the Misses Thomas, and a party of Officers of that distin guished Regiment the 6th Dragoon GuardA. The ices and fruits, including a profusion of hot-house grapes, were furnished by Norton. - - - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. ROUTH presented the report of the Commit tee respecting the office of coroner, vacant by the decease of the late T. Shelton, Esq. The report recommended that no one be appointed to the office except a person " of legal education, a barrister or solicitor, or any one duly qualified to become such." Mr. HARMER objected to the recommendation of the report that none but a barrister, a solicitor, or a person qualified to be such, should be appointed to the office of coroner. If that recommendation were adopted, it would have the effect of excluding from the election a gentleman who was perfectly qualified to fill the office—he meant Mr. Gude. He there fore moved that those words be expunged. Mr. STEVENS seconded the motion, which was, however, ultimately withdrawn, and the report or dered to be printed, and to be taken into considera tion on a future day. HAMPSTEAD MANOR. A public Meeting of the freeholders and copy holders of this Manor was announced to be held on Wednesday evening, at seven o'clock, at the Assembly-rooms, at Hampstead, for which the fol lowing notice was circulated : ~ HAAIPSTEAD MANOR. A Meeting of the freeholders and copyholders of this Manor will be held at the Assembly-rooms, at Hampstead, on Wednesday evening next, the sth of August, at seven o'clock for half-past seven pre cisely, to consider what proceedings or steps it will be necessary or advisable to adopt, in regard to the several questions at issue between Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson and the freeholders and copyholders of the said Manor, and to provide the necessary funds for the purpose, and for opposing any bill that may be brought forward affecting the rights of the free holders and copyholders, in the next Session of Parliament. " Hampstead, July 30, 1829." Appended to this notice (in the circular) was an earnest request, signed by Mr. Ripley, to the several freeholders and copyholders to attend in person or by their tenants or agents. Though the time of meeting was fixed for seven for half-past seven, it was half-past eight before the chair was taken. At that hour Mr. FENTON took the chair, and stated, that the object of the meeting was to consider the propriety of adopting a resolu tion which would be read to the meeting. Mr. RIPLEY then read the following : " That a subscription be entered into, to which the inhabitants of Hampstead be invited to contri bute, to defray any expenses or costs to be incurred in proceedings intended to be taken for the purpose of trying the right of the lord of the manor to disturb and destroy the herbage of the heath, by permitting sand, &c., to be dug for sale, and of trying his right to enclose any part of the heath; and also for the pur pose of opposing any bill that may be brought for ward in the next session of Parliament which may in any way affect the rights of the freeholders and copy holders." Mr. RIPLEY then stated, that a number of the most respectable freeholders and copyholders were strongly opposed to the bill introduced last session, and were determined to object to any similar mea sure which might he introduced in the next session of Parliament. There were many amongst them, and amongst others, Lords Mansfield, Clifton, and Romney, who had expressed themselves dissatisfied with the kind of opposition which was offered to the bill last year, and who were willing to subscribe, not only to pay the expenses on that occasion, but to any which might be incurred in the opposition to any future bill, to enclose the Heath, or in any other way to infringe on the rights of the freeholders or copyholders. A letter was read from Lord Mans field, offering his subscription of 501. for the purpose. The resolution which Mr. Ripley had read, was now formally proposed by Mr. Ward, and seconded by Mr. Kay, and carried unanimously. Mr. RIPLEY complained of the conduct of the Committee who had conducted the opposition to the bill last session, and contended that they ought not to be intrusted with the opposition to any fu ture bill. Mr. ALLEN objected to the vote which the Com mittee had come to on Tuesday, to pay upwards of 2001. out of the general fund for the expenses of such an opposition as they had made to the late bill. Mr. KELLY, though himself a member of the Committee, should like to know the precise nature of the authority under which they acted, which he had never yet heard; and he would suggest that in quiries should be made on this point. Mr. PAXON said the Committee were appointed at a general meeting of the whole body many years ago. Some other gentlemen present suggested that another Committee should be appointed by a gene ral meeting of the freeholders and copyholders. Other suggestions were also made, but none of them were adopted, and the meeting separated at past ten o'clock without coming to any other resolution than that already given (save one of thanks to the Chairman). A Marseilles Paper states that an unfortunate man, accused of a political crime, had been so cruelly tortured, that the Judges thought it their duty to sentence him to death, because they felt it was impossible to restore to society a man so horribly mutilated by his sufferings.

In 1828, the consumption was 26,790,4811b5., and the net revenue 3,177,1791. The increase in the quantity consumed was, therefore, about 20 per cent. in eight years, while scarcely any addi • tion of revenue was derived from that increase, The duty during that period having been, on teas at or under 2s. per lb., 96 per cent., and on teas above 2s. per lb., 100 per cent ; it follows that the average cost of the purchasers was, in 1820, ss. 6d. per lb., and in 1828, 4s. Bd. per lb., being a diminution in the price of about 15 per cent. The present average sale of the India Company's teas may, therefore, be taken at about 2s. 4d. per pound, although, as respects the qua lit y , th e ma j or par t c o m es nearer to the denomination of th a t t o whi c h th e l o w e r duty applies. In the same period there has been an increase in the con sumption of coffee from 6,896,2861b5. to 16,522,4231b5. ; and of sugar, from 2,581,256 cwt. to 3,285,843 cwt. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. Beans.

The supply of Wheat has not been so large as last week, there has been a good supply of Oats, but little of any other kinds of Grain.

BEAU BRUMMELL DEFEATED. The autocrat of modern dandies, in the height of his despotism, and long before he took it into his head to turn auctioneer, formed the pivot of many a jeu d'esprit and bon mot to his witty companions. An anecdote in which he formed a pretty prominent figure was often narrated with great glee by Brinsley Sheridan ; but as to the veracity of the author of the School for Scandal in regard to this matter, it would he foolish to give any voucher. One evening after a dull de bate upon some commercial matters, on which occasion Sherry was always ready to become " glorious," he came in contact with Brummell, over a bottle of Madeira, in a coffee-room ad joining St. Stephen's. Entering into conver sation, the subject, after taking the usual turn ings and windings, made a dead pause upon the fashions of the day. The punctilious beau was by no means remarkable for a loquacity in the discussion of this his favourite text. But She ridan had a game to play, and he easily contrived to kindle the pride of Brummell—who was, in the heat of the moment, induced to forego his usual calmness and demeanour, and with a very prim to lay a bet to a considerable amount, that he would, in the course of a week, introduce a new fashion among the beau monde. Sheri dan was not slow in taking up the bet ; and, on the instant, Brummell's snip was sent for, and received due directions regarding the cut and colour of the new costume, which was suffi ciently metre. The appointed day arrived, and Brummell made his appearance o►► the pave of Bond-street in his novel apparel. He had not walked thirty yards when, as if actuated by a de mon, a bevy of chimney-sweeps, with the ►nstru ments of office, and faces as black as soot could make them, rushed from an ambush, and made past the astonished beau, who was promenading, with his usual dignity and ►nonchalance of de meanour. Each was dressed in the exact cos tume of Brummcll—a circumstance which hor rified him in the extreme. To add to his per plexity, they simultaneously burst out with a stentorian cry of " Soot 0!" A mob of quiz zing dandies was speedily collected around the cavalcade, and the laughter and merriment of the on-lookers were by no means decreased by the visible chagrin of Brummell. Just at this crisis, Sheridan, with a party of friends, arrived on the ground ; and, as he had anticipated, his friend the beau, after an attempt to cut the senator. made a hasty retreat to the nearest hotel. His new fashion, which, by the bye, was by no means unbecoming, was of course universally scouted, and the inventor subjected to the ridicule of the " world." Sheridan gained his bet, but he lost —for a time—the friendship of Brummell. As for the machinery of the affair, the sweeps were well paid, and a considerable surplus was left for the use of the " triksy spirit" himself.— Edinburgh Paper. The approaching season will afford abundant amusement to the sportsman. Partridges are already strong on the wing, and in numerous coveys: the great growth of turnips has materially contributed to their in crease. Hares are also in greater number than has been known for some years past. —Dorset Chronicle. PLYMOUTH, JULY 27.----Marvellous is the influence of beautiful scenery on the develope ment of mind. Out of this delightful migh . - bourhood poets and painters spring as ositurally as the elms are clad in verdure, the ocean in freshness, the fields in green, or the skies in their " plighted clouds." Beyond the circle of work liness you may discover a buoyancy—an imagina , tiveness—a decoration of thought pervading many spirits. It is but the infection of Natm:::'s beauty—the imagining back of her charms. Gazing often and intently on her loveliness, wo imbibe a portion of it, and our inward visions become lovely too. The happy atmosphere bathes, as it were, our tempers and tones in happiness, and we live as though we had re ceived a new infusion of life. The purity and the glory of the scene pass into our emotions, and we realise some of the abstractions which elevate us above the contaminations of man. We drink in a portion of the immortality of immortal nature ; and learn that, though we may pass away, like the leaves and flowers, and clouds, and winds, and waves which surround us, yet, as the forests, and the heaven, and the ocean, and the elements, are eteni4l, man is eter nal too ; a part, an imperishable part, of the stu rodioiguhs machinery e r ndless time. moved ne:An by d the °nl-4?:c thebless ed thought, that when the ctip of our enjoym ent poured out, and we drink its last drops on the last tl't is verge of our pilgrimage, other cups arefillin for other pilgrims, and a succession of blessedness is provided for unbounded generations. Thank Heaven I am not among those wretch ones who see a futurity rolling forward towards darkness and misery. On the wings of hope and joy I fly onward to the time to come. The whole world is pregnant pith bliss, whose birth is visible from hour to hour. The very evil we observe is the source of good ; and pain itself is not wasted, but made the producer of pleasure. Such and similar thoughts are awakened by the objects around me ; nor to my mind is the intellectual position of this place less satisfactory than the external. A painter of some eminence told me that he well remembered when a small number of lovers of art subscribed the stun (if two guineas each to purchase one picture ut London which might be worthy of being studied —" and now," added he, " there arc several col lections about us worth 30,0001. or 40,000/." The painter was one of those fine enthusiasts who create around them the atmosphere they enjoy ; fitted by the discipline of habitual thou hr to read the book of nature, and give to its fleet ing pages an eternal monument and memory. In this respect most high and holy is the pain ter's calling—to give permanence to those flitting beauties—the outpouring of the Omnipotent One—which just show themselves and pass away—caught in their passage by the eye of the penetrating, and transferred in perpetuity by the hand of art to the long living tablet. Equal') encouraging was the report of an in telligent bookseller. " When I came to Ply mouth," said he, "a board of a few inches square would hold the stock in trade of all onv fraternity ; and now our shops (there are several excellent ones) will best speak of and for the improvement of the public taste." If facts of this sort were gathered together, they would gladden the hearts of all who are really interested in the improvement of man. I remember being at Plymouth at the conclu sion of the war. Every body had a gloomy downward look, as if " the evil day " had really arrived. To others, they said, peace might be a blessing—to them, at least, it was a bane ; and, had their voices been omnipotent, they would have converted France and England into dens of lions and tigers, and set them to wage battles of extermination, thinking only of the jackall's spoil. When peace came ruin was to fly on its wings, and the God of War was invoked as the sole worthy Deity of a Plymouth man's Pantheon. And what is the result ?—and what are the mis chiefs peace has brought with it ? Wholly ima ginary. No town ever bore such marks of im provement as this. The streets are widened— the country is covered with new edifices—the population has marched with astounding strides —and still the vessels of war " repose on their shadows," and the sweetness of quiet is added to the display of power. The magnificent Breakwater you have often heard described. Whether it will ever repay its cost, by the protection it will afford to shipping, is another matter. I heard the opinion expressed that one of its effects would be to make mariners less prudent than before. I went off in a boat pulled by a lusty fellow, who pledged himself to reach it in three quarters of an hour. He erred 50 per cent. in his calcula tion ; but we landed on it in an hour and a quarter—this great high road in the middle of the ocean, nearly a mile long, and wide enough for six or eight carriages to pass abreast. The principal masses are of the Devonshire lime stone or marble ; and, as it is washed -by the water, its variegated lines and strata are very beautiful ; but the surface of the Breakwater is of gray granite, and the stupendous stones are bound together by iron cranks, and look as if they would defy all the shocks of the storm. But in the centre of the Breakwater is that ter rible fracture made some years ago—showing ' how idle are all the calculations of the powers of wind and wave. It is not by cement, nor me tallic grasping, that the Breakwater will become impregnable, but by the million nothings with which nature, by and bye, will bind it. The sand will drop into the interstices grain by grain—the sea-weeds will put forth their appliances tendril by tendril—the water-drops will bed the pebbles into another—and then the alliance between hu man ingenuity and the influence of time may make an immortal thing. A light and fast-sailing yacht took us round and round the Breakwater. What sanatory— salutary enjoyment in this ! purchased at so cheap a cost ! That the tobacco plant may be produced to any extent in the British islands, is beyond a question. It grows in all the temperates zones to a high latitude. It is cultivated extensively in Germany and the Low Countries, and even in Sweden. It required all the intemperate laws of King JAMES, and his successors, to repress its pro • gress in England. During the American Nvar, and pre vious to the application to Scotland of the prohibitory laws by the Act of 1782, it was cultivated on the hacks oft he Tweed and Teviot with the most promising results. This Act overtook the planters in the midst of their labou►s, and compelled theta to root up their plantations, zud dispose of the produce to Government at a third parto its ►market price.— Quarterly Journal of Commerce. SKELETON.—The skeleton of a woman, about five feet seven inches in length, was found on Friday,i n the ground now excavating for cellars in Whitefriar-gate. It has lain from six to seven feet below the surface of tha ground, and has been preserved entire. Of the strength and extent of the Priory once standing in this situation, an idea may be formed from the fact that the workmen, in getting down to the proper depth, have encountered the foundation of walls six and eight feet thick, as solid as a rock.— Hull Packet.
