(From Sir Walter Scott's Tales of a Grandfisther, Second Series.) The Farquharsons of I)ec side, a bold and warlike people, inhabiting the dales of Braemar, had taken offence at, and slain, a gentleman of consequence, named Gordon of Brackley. The Marquis of Huntly summoned his forces, to take a bloody vengeance for the death of a Gordon ; and that none of the guilty tribe might escape, communicated with the Laird of Grant, a very powerful chief, who was an ally of Huntly, and a relation, I believe, to the slain Baron of Brack ley. They agreed, that, on a day appointed, Grant, with his clan in arms, should occupy the upper end of the vale of Dee, while the Gordons should ascend the river from beneath, each party killing, burning, and destroying, without mercy, whatever and whomsoever they found be fore them. A terrible massacre was made among the Farquharsons, taken at unawares, and placed betwixt two enemies. Almost ail the men and women of the race were slain, and when the day was done, Huntly found himself encumbered with about two hundred orphan children, whose parents had been killed. About a year after this foray, the Laird of Grant chanced to dine at the Marquis's castle. Ile was, of course, re ceived with kindness, and entertained with mag nificence. After dinner was over, Huntly said to his guest, that he would chew him some rare sport. Accordingly, he conducted Grant to a balcony, which, as was frequent in old mansions, overlooked the kitchen, perhaps to permit the lady to give an occasional eye to the operations there. The numerous servants of the Marquis and his visitors had already dined, and Grant beheld all the remains of the victuals flung at random into a large trough, like that out of which swine feed. While Grant was wondering what this could mean, the master cook bare a signal with his silver whistle ; on which a hatch, like that of a dog-kennel, was raised, and there rushed into the kitchen, some shrieking, some shouting, some yelling—not a pack of hounds, which, m number, noise, and tumult, they greatly resembled—but a huge mob of children, half naked, and totally wild in their manners, who threw themselves on the contents of the trough, and fought, struggled, and clamoured. each to get the largest share. Grant was a man of hu manity, and did not see in that degrading scene all the amusement which his noble host had in tended to afford him, In the name of Heaven," he said, " who are these unfortunate creatures that are fed like so many pigs ?" " They are the children of those Farquharsons whom we slew last year on the Dee side," answered Huntly. The laird felt more shocked than it would have been prudent or polite to express. "My lord," he said, " my sword helped to make these poor children orphans, and it is not fair that your lordship should be burdened with all the expellee of maintaining them. You have supported them for a year and a day—allow me now to take them to Castle Grant, and keep them for the same time at my cost." Iluntly was tired of the joke of the pig -trough, and willingly consented to have the undisciplined rabble of children taken off his hands. He troubled himself no more about them ; and the Laird of Grant, carrying them to his castle, had them dispersed among his c l an , and brought up decently, giving them his own name of Grant ; but it is said their descen dants are still called the Race of the Trough, to distinguish them from the families of the tribe into which they were adopted. ROAD-MAKING.—The spirit of improve ment in this important department of civil engineering is not confined to this metropolis, but is especially observable on the great northern avenue front London through High gate. Three distinct processes are going- on in the neigh bourhood of the archway; two of which arc especially worthy sf notice. One consists of a solid and entire sur face of Roman cement, forming a massive and water-tight covering ; and the other is composed of bricks, baked in the ordinary way, and laid in such a way as to insure a perfect drainage. The first plan, if well executed, is ob viously the most durable, and bids fair to furnish a road as perfect and as lasting as the military ways constructed by the Romans. G UILDIIALL. TUNNICI.IFFE v. COMI.--In this case Mr. Ca --Timothy Cobb, we believe--was charged with having pushed, choked, punched, and otherwise maltreated a Mr. Ralph Tunnicliffe, of Long-lane, West Smithfield; to which charge Mr. Timothy Cobb replied, that the said pushin gs , chokings, and j punchings, were " ustiy)le under the circum stances;" and thereupon issue was joined. Mr. Tunnicliffe then detailed what he called the " particularities of the circiunstancei ;" and they ap peared to be thus Mr. Tunnicliffe, is a house holder and " a man what doesn't like to be disturbed ii) his sleep," Mr. Timothy Cobb, on the contrary, is no householder, and a man who doesn't care, whose sleep he disturbs. Mr. Tunnicliffe " keeps lodgers," and his lodgers keep such a clatter about his ears that he can get no rest for them. Among these lodgers of his are a Mr. and Mrs. Barnett, and they give him more trouble than all the rest, for Mr. and Mrs. Burnett are frequently visited by Mr. T. Cobb, and whenever Mr. Timothy Cobb visited Mr. and Mrs. -Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. Barnett are sure to quarrel, and sometimes fight for two or three hours after Mr. Timothy Cobh has left them. What they quarrelled about, or why they always quar relled after receiving a visit from Mr. Timothy Cobb, Mr. Tunnicliffe did not know; perhaps it might b e gin, or perhaps it might be jealousy, or perhaps it might be both gin and jealousy : but whatever it was, it kept M r. and Mrs. Barnett clapper-clawing each other till three or four o'clock in the morning, and kept Mr. Tunnicliffe tossing arid tumbling about in his bed, unable to get a " wink of sleep," and therefore be hated to see Mr. Timothy Cobb come into the house. Matters went on in this uncomfortable way up to last Monday night, when Mr. Timothy Cobb again presented himself, saying he wished to see Mr. and Mrs. Barnett. Mr. Tunnicliffe told him be could not see them, for they were going to bed, but ll'hether they were going to bed or not, he, Mr.Tun nicliffe, was determined that he, Mr. Timothy Cobb, should not go up to " their department" that night. " The d—l I shu'n't!" replied Mr. Timothy Cobb, " then here he goes for a try !" and so saying lie capsized Mr. Tunnicliffe with a single push, and be gun scampering up stairs; but before he could scamper to the top of the first flight, Mr. Tunni cliffe caught him by the hindermost leg, and pulled him down again. Whereupon Mr. Timothy Cobb grappled Mr. Tunnicliffe by the collar, and choked him and punched him to such a degree, that Mr. Tunnicliffe was fain to call in the watch, and send Mr. Timothy Cobb to the Compter. This was Mr. Tunnicliffe's case. Mr. Timothy Cobb, in his reply, said, " In the first place, your Worship, I wish you to consider that Mr. Tunnicliffe keeps an open shop ; arid as such I consider that I had as good a right to go into it as any other man, woman, or child what-some soever. In the next place, when I went in, Mr. Tunnicliffe said to me, says he, ' Mr. Cobb,' says he, this is a very untimely time of night.' ' Very good, Mr. Tunnicliffe,' says I know it is; Isla I'm not going to stay two mi nutes ; and besides,' says I, ' my little girl is up stairs, and I'm come to take her home,' I don't care,' says he, you shan't go up stairs.' Very good,' says but I must.' So I pushed him aside, and up stairs I went; and I'll leave you to judgo whether I could have capsized him, as he says; for before I had got up half a dozen stairs, he caught me by the leg and pulled me slap down again. ' What are you going to do with me, Mr. Tunni entre ?' says I; but instead of making me a decent answer, he kept pulling away at my leg; and if I hadn't clung round his neck I verily believe my own neck Nvould have been broken. And that's all I did--I only clung round his Deck to save myself; and for that he gave me in charge to the watchman, and I've been shut up in the Compter all night." Mr. Alderman GARRATT told Mr. Tunnicliffe that he had done wrong. "If your lodgers were troublesome to you," said his Worship, " you should have got rid of them instead of pulling their visiter down stairs by the leg." Mr. Tunnicliffe replied, that he had given them notice to quit. And, thereupon, Mr. Timothy Cobb was discharged, upon his promise not to visit them again so long as they remained in the house of Mr. Tunnicliffe. BOW-STREET. Two men were yesterday brought in custody to this office, and underwent a long private examination before Sir B. BIRNIE, OU suspicion of having been concerned in the burglary at the house of Mr. War rington, of West Moulsey. No circumstance, how ever, was elicited to warrant their further detention, and they were accordingly discharged. The female servant still remains in custody, and Isishop, and the rest of the officers engaged in the affair, are in defatigable in their exertions to bring the offenders to justice. Charles Springall, a min employed as waiter and pot-boy at the Savoy-palace public-house, Savoy street, strand, was charged before Mr. lIALLs last night, on suspicion of having robbed his employer of cash to die amount of upwards of 1001. a post ohit bead for 450/., several bills and promissory notes, overdue, and a quantity of silver spoons and other property. Miss Landman, daughter to the proprietor of the Savoy-palace, stated that at three o'clock yesterday, she had occasion to go up stairs, when she found that the door of the front bed-room on the second floor had been opened by means of a skeleton key. On entering the room, she found several articles of wearing apparel strewn upon the floor and lying upon the table in a state of disorder. She also found that a bureau had been broken open. She called her mother up stairs, when upon examining. the bureau, they found that 70/. has been stolen from it. The money consisted of 30 sovereigns, 10/. silver, and 30/. in Bank of England notes. On examining an inner room, witness and her mother found that two drawers had been opened by means of skeleton keys one of those drawers contained a post-obit bond for 450/., and other securities to a large amount, all of which were stolen. A great number of silver spoons, silver &e. had been stolen from the other drawers. The box of a benefit society, con taining a sum of money, had also been eartied away. Mr. HALLS asked the witness what grounds she had for suspecting that the prisoner was the thief. The witness replied, that about a week since she had reason to believe that the prisoner bad stolen 5/. in silver, which had been placed in his way. The money had unaccountably disappeared. Fagan, the officer, who apprehended the prisoner, stated that ho searched his box, in which he found a sovereign and a half, and also a silver watch. It appeared that the prisoner in the course of the after noon had waited noon three g enteel -looking men, who called for some ale, and bread and cheese, in a room upstairs. These persons, after waiting a short time, suddenly left the house leaving their glasses full. The prisoner being asked if he had any thing to say to the charge, replied that he knew nothing of the robbery. W i t h r espect to the watch, he had had it for three years, and had bought it at a shop in Fleet market. Mr. Landman said that be had never seen the prisoner wear the watch. _ Two or three witnesses, however, depofed that they had seen the watch in the prisoner's possession on several occasions. Mr. HALLS observed, that there WAS no evidence at present to connect the prisoner with the robbery. into custody then - stat e d ; t h at h e h a d also taken custody the female servant of the house, who, it ap peared, had a silver spoon in her pocket that Lad been missed by the family a fortnight before. It turned out, however, that the girl, whose honesty had never been impeached before,had placed the spoon in her packet for security, which she was in the habit of doing when strangers were in the re freshment rooms. Mr. HALLs immediately directed that she should be taken from the bar. Although circumstances in some measure justified her being placed time, her integrity suffered nothing from the circumstance. There was nothing like evidence against either of the prisoners, whom he could not think of detaining. The prisoners were accordingly discharged, and Fagan. was directed to use every exertion to endea vour todis,:over the perpetrators of a robbery so daring and extensive. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LOVE IN A COAL-CELLAR.—Yesterday a fashion ably-dressed young ►nan, rather dandified in his a►p pea►ance, and enveloped in a large brown mantle, was brought up from St. James's watch-house, and arraigned before Mr. CONANT, charged with being found in the coal-cellar attached to the dwelling house of Mr. Griffiths, in Regent-street. Mr. Griffiths stated that he was aroused from his slumbers about four o'clock that morning, by a light whispering noise, as if some persons within the house were conversing in an under tone. Knowing that all his family had retired to their apartments at an early hour, and tho noise increasing, he re paired to the lower apartments, where the noise appeared to nroceed from ; in the passage he dis tinctly heard . several voices, and the knowledge of the recent burglaries impressed him with a belief that there must be thieves in the house; he, therefore, armed himself with a poker, and proceeded to the kitchen•door, which he discovered to be fastened inside. He instantly burst it open, when, to his utter surprise, he discovered a young lady and his female servant in the greatest state of agitation► at his "untoward" appearance. The young lady was on a visit to him, and confidtiki to his care.— Suspecting, from their manner, that there were yet further discoveries to be made, he proceeded to the coal-hole, when, lo and behold who should be there but the young gentleman now placed at the bar, trembling like an aspen leaf, from fear and the cold, as he (Mr. Griffiths) had every reason to believe. — lie immediately removed the young gentleman fiom his dark retreat, and handed him over to the care of a watchman, who conveyed him to the black hole in St. James's watch-house. In answer to a question from the Magistrate, Mr. Griffiths said the young gentleman was a stranger to him. Mr. CoNANT asked the young gentleman who and what he was ?—ln reply he stated himself to be a surgeon residing in St. Martin's-lane. That his name was Wm. Dufours; that he came to Mr. Griffiths' to see Miss Dukes, the young lady before alluded to. That it being a very cold night, he had been invited down stairs by the servant. Mr. CONANT-But not at four o'clock- in the morning. Mr. Dufours—No, Sir, between 10 and 11 at night. Mr. Griffiths—You were not there when Mrs. Griffiths came down, previously to her going to bed, to see that all was right, Mr. Dufours—Miss Dukes and I were there then, but we both retired into the coal-hole on Mrs. Griffiths's approach ! Mr. CoNANT—lndeed ! Both of you must have had a very cold birth of it. Mr. Dufours replied that it •vas a love affair be tween Miss Dukes and himself. Mr. CONANT said he should inquire into that be fore he (Dufours) was discharged, and desired Miss Dukes might be sent for. Mr. Griffiths accordingly went for Miss Dukes, and shortly afterwards returned, saying that be had seen the father of Mr. Dufours, and, understanding that he was a very respectable young man, he was not desirous of pressing the charge. Mr. CONANT said that it would be, notwithstand ing, necessary to inform the young lady of the im propriety of her conduct, and desired that slit: should be introduced. Accordingly Miss Emma Maria Theresa Dukes entered the Office with all the bashfulness imagin able. Her countenance was extremely fascinating, and her person altogether prepossessing; she appa rently had not yet entered her 17th year. Mr. CONANT, in mild, but very proper terms, admonished the young lady on the impropriety o' her conduct, and ordered her Lothario to be dis , charged. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a young man, respectably dressed, Who has been for some time past levying contributions on the charitable inhabitants of Claphatn, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with distri buting begging epistles, representing himself to be deaf and dumb. Dr. Watson, of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at tended, and stated that the prisoner had used his name in ,a variety of instances in r ecommendatory letters that he had forwarded to distinguished indi viduals resident in town, begging for money, de scribing severe bodily afflictions, and referring to him (the doctor) for the truth of his statements. Now he (the doctor) knew peffectly well that the fellow was labouring under no infirmity of the description he had set forth in his epistle, and having b een apprised of the fact of his having imposed upon several families, by pretending to be deaf and dumb, in ordef to put a stop to such gross imposture, the doctor wrote to the editor of the Tinies, describing the appearance of the prisoner, and cautioning the public against the artifices of a fellow who was well calculated to impress the belief that he was art ob ject of commiseration. The doctor here handed in a list of the names of the parties to whom the pri soner had written, solicitiir ! charity on the ground of his being deaf and dumb; and amon g st them wer e these of E ar l B rown l ow, L or d Binning, Lord Hanley, General Ross, Lady Ross, Ludy Lubbock, Lady A nson , L a d y R a ffl es , th e editor of the Times, the Rev. Mr. Dealrry, the rector of Clapham, &c. Dr. Watson added, that some months ago the prisoner, upon finding that the im posture was discovered, assumed a different name, and upon every subsequent discomy of kits tricks, he uniformly changed his name, in erder to avoid de tection. On the present occasion he had made ap plication to the Rev. Mr. Dcaltry for assistance, through the medium of writing., pretending himself deaf and dumb, and referring to Dr. Watson for the truth of his declarations. Mr. Dealtry, suspecting the fellow to be an impostor, detained him until his character was ascertained, and then he was sent to the cage on Clapham-common, when it appeared he was soon restored to those faculties, to the want of which he attributed all his misfortunes in life ; for he had not been long in durance before he f ell down upon his knees to Re ed, the constable, and i mp l ore d him to let him go, and promising, that as l ong as h e lived, he would never again attempt to impose upon any body by pretending that he was deaf and dumb. Mr. CH►AMBERS—On this occasion you have given the name of Fold, is that your real mune Prisoner—That is my name. Dr. - Watson stated, that at the period the prisoner hail written to the Editor of the Threw, lie gave a differest name, for on that occasion he signed riis name John Smith, afterwards changed to Page. In fact, he (the Doctor) had ascertained that he was the habit otpassibg by fictitious ap pellations. in . y The prisoner, in reply to the Magistrate, stated that he was a native of the county of Carlow, in Ireland; that he was clerk to an eminent solicitor in Dublin, and that, having quarrelled with his em. ployer, he threw up his situation and came to this country; that having failed in obtaining a clerkship here, or any other suitable occupation, he was forced to adopt the alternative of gaining a livelihood by pretending to be afflicted with human infirmity, or die in the streets of hunger. Mr. Cri.tarnsurs said, that bewaa as fit a subject for the tre a d- w h ee l as had come under his cognizance for a length o f t i me, and according for three months t o h ar d l a b our at Brixton. committed him Brixton. Mrs. Auld, the widow of the late Mr. Auld, manager of the Exeter Theatre, who was killed in consequence of falling through a trap-door on the stage of that theatre, attended at this office to prefer a charge of highway robbery against a man named Harris. From the complainant's evidence it ap peared, that on Friday evening last, between six and seven o'clock, she left home for the purpose of making a few purchases in Prospect-place. Sh e had scarcely gone 20 yards from her own door, when the prisoner seized her reticule, which contained Ecr purse and some money, and, tearing it from her, ran away. He was pursued, and at length overtaken, but had managed to get rid of the articles be had robbed the complainant of. Mrs. Auld distinctly identified the prisoner, who was committed to the assizes on the capital charge. The prisoner is well known to the officers as a noto riously bad character. DUTCH PAPERS. ST.
