Elizabeth Smith, servant to last witness—lm mediately on getting up saw one man leap out of the parlour window, where he was instantly joined by another, who ran off together. Could not swear to the men. A clock and two silver spoons were missed, and had never since been found. Ono of the men resembled the prisoner. Thomas Stringer, a smith, passed the prose cutor's house on the morning of the 16th of August.. Saw the prisoner run up to Mr. Greig's window, and receive a parcel from the parlour window, which he ran off with. Two pemons jumped out and followed him. Knew th e prisoner before, and had no doubt of him. James Koe, lives within 50 yards of Mr. Greig's, saw the prisoner running as described by last witness ; saw him take off his coat and cover: over what he had ; saw the clock and spoons had no doubt that the prisoner_was one of them. R. Cross, saw the prisoner running away with prArcel on the morning in question ; he had his coat off, it covered the parcel ; the prosecutor said the clock cost about a dozen years ago twelve guineas, it might be worth ten pounds The Jury found the prisoner guilty.—Death. Thomas Ferry, aged 19, an d H. Hall, aged 18, stood capitally indicter?, for breaking and en tering into the dwelling -house of Elias Heath Chadwin, and stealing therein, on the 12th of August, 20 shirts, 16 gowns, and an immense variety of other w'4aring a r ti c l es . Elias Heath Chadwin, lives at Mile End-road, Stepney—%:;tent out on Sunday morning, the 12th of August, at 7 o'clock. Left the door double-'.locked ; all the doors and windows were farite:Aed. Returned at 11 o'clock, at night. -Ascertained immediately that the property had been stolen. The doors had been opened by some chisel or pick-lock. The property had all_ been found. At a very low estimate it was - worth 11/. Henry Myers, a ship insurance agent—On the 12th August saw the prisoners pass him near to the prosecutor's house.; they were carry ing bundles, and Ferry threw one away ; had not spoken to them before the bundle was thrown' Away ; this was within forty yards of Mr. Chad win s house ; they came from the direction of *lre house ; heard the cry of " stop thief;" then Ferry threw down the bundle, and both prisoners ran off; witness ran down a back lane and stop ped them ; Hall then threw from him three bundles ; was q uite sure of the prisoners ; search ed Hall at the watch-houSe, and found a chisel, phosphorous box, bunch of keys, and other arti cles on him ; it was about four o'clock in the :afternoon. Mary Ruck, from her bed-room window, saw tome out of the prosecutor's house ; called lAA stop thief; Hall threw down one bundle then, and ran away ; went out and took up the bundle ; had no doubt of Hall having been the person; believed Hall to be of most respect able parents. _ _ Thomas Simpson, headborough of Stepney, produced.all the property; the prosecutor and his wife identified the property. The prisoner *aid nothing in defence. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good character. Hall had been in an attorney's office, which he had left lately. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN considered the case clear against the prisoner, and left it to the Jury. Verdict guilty.—Death. • (Before Mr. Justice GASZLEE and Mr. Baron GRAHAM.) HIGH TREASON. Margaret Cavanagh, aged 43, widow, and Ann Lynch, alias Gilmore, aged 22, spinster, were capitally charged with traitorously colouring two counterfeit shillings, with intent to cause them to resemble the good and legal coin of the realm. • ' Mr. BOLLAND stated the case to the Jury, for the prosecution, on behalf of the Mint. John Limbriek sworn—l era an officer of HattOn-Garden. I went on the 7th of July to the French Horn - public-house, Barbican, in consequence of some information I had received in company with others. I first saw Matthew Kelly at the public-house : I searched him, found nothing on him, and gave him two gQod shillings that were marked.. Kelly left us at my direction, and went to No. 2, Chequer-alley. William Kirby, an officer, went with him. He came back to the public honse in about half an hour, and produced two bad shillings whi c h I h ave . H e showed me one of the good shillings I had given him. He gave me a statement of what he had done, and direct ed me what to do. I afterwards acted on those directions. I sent Kelly again between four and five in the afternoon. He returned to me again in about half an hour ; he brought me three more bad shillings and some colouring. In consequenc e of what he stated to me I went with Lloyd, Kirby, and Powell to where the prisoners were in Chequer-alley ; we found the doors open ; in a room up stairs both the pri • sonars were ; they were both partly undressed ; it was between five and six ; we took them into custody ; there was a bed in th e room ; I search ed the bed and the house, and under the bolster • found a little bag containing a good h a lf- er b wn and a shilling ; the shilling was one of th e mark ed shillings I had given to Kelly ; fou n d a l so in a paper a little colouring ; there was a scuffle between the prisoner and Kirby when I was searching. the bed ; I then found some colour ing, which, when rubbed on copper, made it look bright;. in the. cupboard there was a little mug, contaiving_sonie sort of material, I suppose also for colounng ; a few bad shillings were also found in the course of the search. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.--I have stated all I saw the prisoners doing ; they ap p_eated t _ Powell me to' h ave bean washing. By Mr. to the Ispiii,rtections I sent Kelly. Powell belongs A Wm. Kirby, another officer, corroborated the above testim ony. Saw the e lder prisoner take a small parcel o f grey powder off the bed, con tained in a piece of bed-tick. He found also some cream of tartar in the room. - Matthew Kelly.—l knew both the prisoners, and have known them for about three quarters o f a year all this time they lived at No. 2, eqUer - aileYr: Yfilere they were pp . IC C d • On Saturday the 'Vth of July,. went to the room of the prisoner, with the two good ihillings I had ; I.got them from Limbrick. Cavanagh asked what 1 wanted. I said I wanted two had shillings; she said I should have them. She went to the bottom of the bed for them. Lynch was there. Cavanagh said to Lynch, "where are they ?" Lynch said, "they are there." She found them, and gave them to me. I gave her one of the good shillings for them that I had keeci'vcd from Limbrick. I asked fora hale colouring stuff. Cavanagh said, m" I have, hone till night, ° but that then we shall have plenty," and that I should then have it.-- I asked her at what time I should come in the evening ? Cavanagh told me to come between four and five o'clock. I then went away to the French Horn, delivered the two bad shillings to Limbrick, and stated to him what I had seen. I went again at the time appointed ; I found the prisoners at home ; they were doing nothing when I went in. I asked for three bad shillings. " You shall have them," says she. She sat down and drew a paper out of her bosom. —The paper contained about a dozen of bad shillings ; they were in the bright state. During this Lynch was washing down the cupboard. Cavanagh sat down and got some white sand paper, with which she rubbed the shillings. Lynch also came and rubbed the shillings. There was a fire-place in the room. Lynch then put the shillings on the bar of the stove ; afterwards put them into a bason of water, which was brought by Cavanagh, the mother of Lynch. Cavanagh next brought some stuff' from the bed, which she rubbed on them ; she threw them into a bason of water again ; next rubbed them over with cream of tar tar, then smoked them with a candle, and then put a little of the tallow on them, and then folded them in a printed paper, and gave them to me along with a small quantity of colouring stuff. I gave her the other good shilling I had had from Limbrick, and took bad ones to Lim berick, with the colouring stuff. Cross-examined--I do not know whether the prisoners are countrywomen of my own, I am an Irishman. I don't know whether they coma from the county that I do or not. 'I have known them for three-quarters of a year. I am a labourer. I labour at anything I can get to do. This was the first time I ever asked these women for a bad shilling. I never passed one of them in my life. I never got a promise of payment for my services from any body. I know Mr. Powell, having worked for him. I hope I shall be justi fied in seeing Government not robbed. I never did any thing for. Mr. Powell before this job. I never said I had worked for Powell. I was intro duced to Powell by my sister, who had been in the habit of going out with the bad money. I hope Powell and the Government will see me paid for my loss of time. I dare say I shall be better paid if I convict the prisoners ; I don't know whether of them is married ; never had any quarrel with them. I never was accused by either of the prisoners of taking away a duplicate off her mantle-piece. I do n o t k now a woman of the name of Margaret Taylor. I swear Ido not know a woman of the name of Taylor. I never knew a woman of the name of Kennedy. 1 have no relation of that name. A relation of mine of the name of Kennedy never lived in the room with the prisoner. I shall be satisfied with whatever Mr. Powell pleases to give me for my trouble. Ido not know what I expect from him. I believe that getting a farthing depends upon the conviction of the prisoners. Anne Lee, the wife of a police-officer, search ed Cavanagh; found on her one shilling and six pence of good silver ; found nothing on Lynch. George Naylor knew the prisoners, they rent ed a room of him in No. 1, Chequer-alley ; there was no other woman lived in that room ; had seen other women in the house. John Field, inspector of the Mint, proved the seven pieces produced to be base or counter feit shillings; they were in the state in which they first appeared on coming from the die ; this witness described the counterfeiting process. Mr. Frankland, also of the Mint, likewise proved the coins to be counterfeit. The prisoners protested that Kelly had done this against them from a revengeful motive, hav ing been accused of stealing from them a dupli cate of some of their apparel. They said the whole of Kelly's family had been themselves ac cused, over and over again, of uttering base coin, and that his sister had been tried only at the last Sessions. Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up, and, as the Jury were about to consider their verdict, Margaret Taylor, who had been previously called, but did not answer, made her appearance. She said that she had known Kelly for more than eight months ; she recollects his saying to her, that as Lynch had accused him of stealing a duplicate, he would " do for her."—The wit ness asked him what he would do, and he re plied, " I know that myself." " On her cross-examination, Taylor denied haviugbeen ever charged with passing bad money, and she admitted that she had been " pulled up" for a row, the witness added that she often saw Kelly at the prisoner's lodgings ; he was in the habit of going there to see a woman named Kennedy, who lodged with them. Kelly was recalled, and swore distinctly that he had never seen the witness, Taylor, before this day. They Jury retired, and, after an absenqe of about 20 minutes, returned with a verdict of NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Serjeant DENMA ) Thomas Evans, aged 18, was convicted of steal ing seven silver spoons from William Hobson, Esq. who had employed him as an errand-boy. He had confessed the robbery to a servant of Mr. Hob son's, saying that they were melted up; and that they could not give him more than six weeks for it, as he had broken no lock.—" Guilty." Thomas Delay was indicted for snatching a watch-chain and seals from the person of a Mr. Johnson, in coming out of the Haymarket Theatre, on Thursday last. The-chain had broken, and the prisoner was not taken without a severe struggle. --The Jury found him " Guilty." Ann Solomon:, the wife of the notorious Ikey Solomons, was indicted for receiving stolen goods. On the case being called on, Mr. B RODERICK move d, on an affidavit, that the trial of the prisoner be put off till the next Session. The affidavit, which purported to be that of Ann, the wife of Ikey Solomons, late of Shoreditch, and now of North America, was then read, and deposed that the, property found in her house belonged to her husband, and that she wished to account for the possession of it by several very material witnesses. k had been brought by three persons, Ikey, her her son, who is now, on his voyage husband, who is at present in America ; John and Benjamin Solomons, her hus band's Solomons, toan dA e b r o ca ther, of whose resi could not s w af h e o ly would &nee she did not proceed on her prove the honest acquirement of the property. The affidavit without She also stated, that various paragraphs had appeared in thr newspapora up t 9. &Ada: Tr. 141.4 pogo pd to give the life of Ikey Solomons ' and which would greatly prejudice, and have the effect of prejudging her . case. She also prayed, the property, not owned, which remained at the F'olice4)ffices, should begiven up to her, as she had a family of five children, and no propertitaprocure for them the necessaries of life. Mr. Sergeant DENMAN coniidered that there were no grounds for putting off the trial. The affidavit did not, state that she would be able to obtain those witnesses at the next Sessions, and with regard to the property, the Court could not make an order for delivering it up, as it was detained by the committing Magistrate. Mr. ADOLPHUS here observed that he had made an application to that effect to the Magistrates, who said that they had made. every inquiry and research in order to Justify themselves in giving it up, but that they could not do so, from the numerous claims and notices made upon it. The Court observed, that it would be a libel on Juries to suppose that they could be prejudiced by what appeared in the newspapers. Mr. BRODERICK remarked, that it might - hav e a trreat effect on witnesses. , It was subsequently fixed to come on on Thursday morning. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Mary Ann Smith was indicted for stealing a watch from the person of William Sanker, on the 17th July last. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecution that he had been drinking in a public-house, and on-leav ing it at twelve o'clock, he met with and accosted her in the street. She said she was waiting for a person who had the key of her house. After a few minutes he felt her hand in his pocket, and in stantly missed his watch. He accused her of the theft, and she asked him if he thought a person of her respectability, could be guilty of a theft. He replied, that he knew she had it, and laid hold of her. She then produced the watch from behind her, and said that she took it in a joke. She after wards abused him, and he said that he would give her a treat, and instantly called the watchman, who took her on the prosecutor's charge. In his cross examination he swore positively that he did not say he would give her a treat before she had taken his watch; she, had given it back when the watchman came up. The defence was most extraordinary. The pd. soner stated that she was standing near her house when the prosecutor came up, took liberties with ber, snd asked her to accompany him to an improper house. She rejected his proposals, and he then said that ha would give her a treat. He called the watchman, and gave her in charge; but she denied most solemnly having touched his watch. The prisoner received a good character as a re spectable married woman. The watchman was re-called, and stated, that when she was taken she did not say that Sanker had falsely accused her, but that she had not robbed him, as he then had his property. •The Learned JUDGZ, in summing up, observed, that the defence was most extraordinary, and with out they (the Jury) considered Sanker as one of the most wicked of human beings, they could hardly believe it. The Jitry almost immediately acquitted the pri soner, who then applied for some money taken from her - at the watch-house. The Court ordered it to be instantly given up. PUBLIC SALES.-(THIS DAY.)

THE DIiKE OF CLARENCE AND EAST INDIA DIRECTORS.--(From a Correspondent. )--The Court of Directors of the East-India Company have come to a resolution to place their Marine (or naval) establish ment in India on a more equitable and respectable footing, by obtaining a brevet rank for their officers which may entitle them to command according to their seniority, when serving with King's ships, in the sarne manner as their land-forces do when acting with the Royal Army. For this purpose a Post-Captain of the Royal Navy is to be selected as the head or Commodore of their naval force, with the view to recommend officers for promotion, and to regulate that service upon the same principles and footing that exist in the navy of Great Britain. His Royal High ness the Lord High Admiral has, it is said, declared his generous and disinterested intention not to interfere in the nomination of an officer for this command, which is left to the Court of Directors, as the Royal Duke thinks ‘, it would be unhandsome, and might be invidious, in His Royal Highness to meddle with the patronage which be longs to that Court." . EXETER, SEPT. 15.—OPENING 011 THE CANAL.—This event, so important to our commercial in terests, took place yesterday; and the Mayor and Corpo ration, to whom we arc indebted for the execution of the work, • very properly marked it by a public celebration. At nine o'clock the Mayor and Chamber, accompanied by the Members of the City, Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, the Rev. Dr. Palmer, and several other friends, with a band of music, proceeded in a barge from the quay to the mouth of the new canal, when the locks were opened, and the cere mony of passing through and returning took place, amidst the 'firing o f cannons ; after which the Large returned to the quay, an d the company proceeded to Street's Hotel, where a spl en di d dinner was provided. It was intended that the schooner Despatch should be the first vessel to enter the works, but she was prevented, in consequence of an almost unprecedented low tide, occasioned by a strong northerly wind. A very large concourse of the citizens was lama. SPORTING trertLuGENtE. bONCASTgR MEETING, 1887. DONCASTER, SUNDAY NIGHT. The new subscription betting-rooms are opened on a scale of great magnificence, several hundred pounds having been expended in fitting them up ; the three chandeliers alone cost about 700/. They are crowded every evening by the most respectable members of the tad. We have made inquiry, and find that the muzzle will be put to-morrow night on the following, and that of course they will all start if nothing particular happens : Mameluke, Granby, Matilda, Lunaria, Medoro, Sancho, Malek, Nivalis, Kit-Cat, Pedler, Fylde, Translation, Bur lador, Popsy, Moonshine, Pelican, Laurel, Hartpury, Sarah, Byram colt, Spondee, Jupiter, Foijambe's filly, Olivera colt, Antiope colt, Emma. James Robinson rides Matilda, and W. Scott Granby: all the crack Newmarket jockies are here. A match has been made for 1,000 guineas between Mamelake and Granby, the condition being, that if.either party declared off to-day he should forfeit-100 guineas; neither party hating done so, the match will be run on Friday next. _ _ The new betting-rooms were crowded to-night, and some heavy business was done. It seemed to be the cur rent opinion that nothing will have a chance but Mame luke and Granby, and small odds are offered to be taken that they will be backed before the day at 6 to 4 against the field. So near was Granby to Mameluke last night, that Lord Kilburn took him at evens for 3,000 guineas. Some important changes have taken place amongst the leading horses, to whom the betting is confined. The odds on the course this afternoon, and at the new rooms this evening, were as follows : nto 1 agst Mamel•ike (takers 20 to 1 agst Iledora in small sums 30 to I agst Tit Cat 7 to 2 agst Granby 30 to 1 agst Moonshine 14 to 1 agst Matilda lditto 30 to 1 agat Sancho ;r• 15 to I agst Lunaria 30 to I egg., Nivalis 5 20 to 1 agat Reviewer (no tak.) 50 to 1 agat Nonplus • , The following is the complete bill of fare for Tuesday (this day) : Twolr-old Produce Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft. for colts, Bst.

On Tuesday last, as some of the fishermen, living near Rea Hill, on the banks of the lower Shannon, at the Clare side, about four miles below Carriga hoult, were pushing from the shore in their canoes, for the purpose of laying down spinet's in the Usual way, they observed several swells in the water. — On venturing to approach what so forcibly caught their attention, several huge substances .aeetned float ing along scarcely appearing above the sutrace.— The canoe-men finding themselves in imminent danger, rowed with all their strength to get outside; in which they luckily succeeded. •By this time it was evident that the motion of the waters proceed ed from some sea monsters of an enormous size, seemingly in pursuit of herrings or some small fish, and a heavy fog which prevailed in the morning, strengthened the supposition that they altogether had missed their reckoning. Be this as it may, in the trap of a receding tide the fishermen resolved to net their visitors. This de termined on, the wise men of the squadron put their heads together, when the artillery of the quarry, the canoe-men having no other weapons on board, was instantly resorted to—the charge was awfully perilous—the brave fishermen, however, persevered until their prizes were stoned into Rea Hill Bay, when the tide being rapidly on the ebb, soon left them high and dry on the sand banks. The canoes having by this landed their crews, these hardy sons of Clare beheld with joy that they had secured four small whales, not altogether unlike in some parts the Bottle or Pike-nose Whale or Grampus, described in Shaw's Zoology, but in other respects very dif ferent. They have no dorsal fin, and are with out teeth, their places being supplied with a demi-ossious substance ; the lower jaw is much smaller than the upper, which is quite the reverse in the. grampus; they have two pectoral and two abdominal .fins ; the snout proceeds abruptly from the head not unlike the dolphin. The colour does not vary, the back and chest having the appearance of a uniform polished lead colour; they have each but one fistula or spout hole on the back, not far behind the eye, through which they discharge enormous quantities of water at intervals, causing the appear ance of a marine Jet d'eau ascending to a vast height in the air. The maxillary bone of the largest of these fisk measured about three feet and a half, the fish themselves being from 27 to 30 feet in length, the circumference being. about 15 feet, and the height, when lying, being over five feet, each being in size equal to six large cows : it is expected that they will produce to the captors from foie• to five tons of oil, or from SOL to 100/. worth.—Dablin Morning Post. ABUSES IN THE POLICE. It was reported, in the beginning of the last week, that the police Magistrates intended to adopt some measure for remedying the enormous abuses to which we called the attention of the passive inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Co vent-garden in particular, and that the Marquis of Lansdowne had made inquiry into the truth of the heavy complaints which it has become our duty to make for the sake of public morals. — That the subject is under consideration in the highest quarter there is no doubt, but that the magistrates remain in static quo, unimproved and unawed, although bitterly offended by the ex posure which has taken place, there is as little reason to question. The neighbourhood to which the strongest allusions have been made is still infested at all hours of the night by thieves and prostitutes, whose partnership has met with no check from the magistracy—whose trade is extended and fostered by the rabble of the police, and tolerated by the parish authorities to an ex• tent almost beyond belief. The flash-houses are open.at all hours far the same flagitious purpo ses : robbers, and gentlemen, and watchmen and police-officers, and bawds, and bullies, and prostitutes, are received upon equal terms ; and, in the event of a quarrel, the keeper of the " crib" invariably lends his aid, and authority to the person who calculates upon advantage in the confusion of the fight. The city magistrates have, at all events, the merit of insisting upon the performance of the orders which they issue. Withintheir jurisdiction the public-houses are all closed at seasonable hours. The inspec tors are responsible for the performance of this important duty, and what has been the conse quence ? The general good may be guessed at from the fact, that the chief magistrate has re ceived several communications from the parents and masters of young men, expressive of their gratitude for the peremptory interdict upon houses of this description. In fact, the Public house Act is considered, in that provision which inflicts a penalty for late hours, one of the most useful measures ever submitted to and adopted by Parliament. The shonman or the clerk must, if he is not satisfied with the obligation to go home at a seasonable hour, turn towards Bow street, where, although he is sure to be served with liquor at any hour, he is sure (to use the phraseology of the cribs) to be served out too, and runs the chance of being exposed as well as plundered and half poisoned. There is a sort of security against citizen visits in the very dis grace which may attend the experiment. We would, however, recommend every man of exten sive business to have his eye upon public places in which dissipation forms an essential part of the system. Many a young clerk is to be seen in the saloons of the theatres accompanied by some prostitute dressed out and supported in her wanton extravagance upon the daily plunder of some industrious 'man. Many a boy has been suddenly transferred from the lobbies to the pri l son, and from thence to the place of inost fright ful retribution. Of late years there has been a most dangerous. addition to the variety which courts the heart and imagination of youth. We mean the accommodation given to persons of both sexes at all hours of the night, in houses in which, although they are 'not licensed by the magistrates, wine and spirits arc sold, and fighting, and robbery, and drunkenness are to be constantly witnessed. The owners of those hateful places of debauchery contrive to get the consent of some worn-out beggarly vintners, and upon the authority of that qualifi cation, they open their doors to all well-dressed miscreants, both men and women. Saloons of this nefarious kind operate very much against the theatrical saloons, as many of the prostitutes, who know that they can meet their " pals " or their " flats " at the former, prefer three and sixpence worth of gin and oysters, to the chance of picking up a customer at the latter. The vile system pursued by the managers a few years ago, was no encouragement to competition in this respect. It is 'notorious that a common pros tit u t e , if she happened to possess charms, was sure to be presented with a freedom for the season. In fact, persons of authority in the theatrds Were employed to decide upon the merits of the female visiters to the lobbies; and if a girl was pronounced " likely to draw friends," she became at once enrolled in the list of the estatelishment, a nd thus contributed to the pros perity of her respectable patrons. This pimp ing plan has been a good deal abated. The lobbies and saloons and upper boxes exhibited such scenes of riot and indecency, that society was shamed.. into a determination not to wink any longer at the violativit }to ..);upit sacred compact: respectable men would not allow their families to run the hazard of the . pollution, and trembled for the immorality, not of the stage, but of the immense concourse of uerfol met" before the curtain. The gambling isjust such as th a t whi c h which is carried on in the private r ooms o f the iwl,ittsiesoanldo ti .o g guri i oyster ees in the low vicinity o f St. James's. Indeed, the constant frequenters of the former have attained the most profound knowledge of the art of robbing at the ; west-end of-the-town gaming-houses. The " Legs' visit the saloons' every night, in order to p ick u p . new acquaintances amongst the young and inex perienced. They are-polite, well-dressed, gen tlemanlike persons : and if they can &race any thing soft in the countenance of a new visiter, their wits go to work at once to establish an ac quaintance with him. Wine is set going , anti cards are proposed. The master of the concern soon provides a room, and play adVances, ac companied by the certainty of loss to the unfor tunate stranger. But it the invitation to play be rejected, they make another plant upon him. The ruffians attack him through a passion of a different kind. They give the word to one of their female pals—she throws herself in his way, and prevails upon him to be her companion for the night. She plies him with drink, and in the morning the gentlemen, who in vain solicited him to play, call in to pay " a friendly visit. , Cards are again spoken of and again proposed, with the additional recommendation of the lady, who offers to be the partner of her young friend in the game. The consequence is palpable. Many young noblemen and gentlemen have been plundered by this scheme, of hundreds, nay of thousands of pounds; and yet the Magistrates, who know well the truth of every . statement we have made, present no obstacle in the way of those unconscionable robbers, but API them to plunder on without remorse. To escape with out loss is impossible. They pack and dis tribute the cards with such amazing dexterity, that they can give a man, as it were, what ever cards they please. A few years asp some of them were detected in a trick, by which they had won enormous sums. An ecarte party, consisting of a nobleman (since deceased), a captain in the army, an Armenian gentleman, and an Irish gentleman, sat down in one of the private chambers attached to one of those large wine and shell-fish rooms. The Armenian and the lrishnaan were partners, and they were won derfully successful ; indeed, so extraordinary ,was their luck in turning up cards, that the captain, who bad been on the town for some time, sus pected the integrity of his competitors, and, ac cordingly, handled the cards very minutely. He soon discovered that there was an " old gentle man" (a card somewiat larger than the rest of the pack, and now in considerable use amongst the " Legs") in the midst of them. The Captain and his partner exclaimed, that they were robbed, and the cards were sealed up, aid referred to a card-maker for his opinion. " The old saying," said the referee, " that the cards would beat the card-maker was never more true than it is in. this instance, for this pack would beat not only me, but the very d—l himself. There w gentleman,'ereimmediately but‘as la ' t h em er . e ” i s nTo he t onlytwo ' gentlemen n old old lady' (a card broader than th e rest ) amongst h accused of the itnpositim, but they feigned ig norance of the robbery, refuSsd to return a farthing of the swag, -and charged the losers with having got up the story in order to recov&Ss what they had fairly lost. This was a lest n not throWn 'away upon the nobleman. He IM'er again appeared in the house where practices' of this description are going on every night, and where officers of .the police are palmed (bribed) for their forbearance. The Lord Mayor ordered the officers to burst open the doors of the Stock Exchange Shades, if at any time they should suspect that gaming is going forward there. 'Why do not Magistrates of the w e st end of the town issue orders to their police, to pay an honest and resolute visit to those infamous abodes, and to rake out the swarms of fellows who congregate for the purposes of plunder ? The Irishman was intimate with Thurtell'the murderer, and is great at the game of " blind hookey." In fact, there is no game that is not perfectly understood by this comely robber. If the shopkeeper, who cannot account for the de cline in his profits, and must call his creditors together if things do not change for the better, would give a look in occasionally to the houses we have alluded to, he might recognize amongst the most extravagant of the visitors, a person whose sole dependence is upon his master,whom he robs to provide • himself with the means of living amongst those he and she devils. But without a well-disciplined police it will be im possible to break down the various base institu tions with which London abounde.so much as to make the character of informer libnourable. It is useless to appeal to the Magistlq; re monstrance or solicitation will effect but little in that almost incorrigible quarter. . The Secretary 'of State alone can bring those negligent and overpaid servants of the community, to whom they act as masters as often as they can to a proper sense of their duty.. To the aban donment of that duty is to be ascribed the state of our prisons, which are always crammed with the victims of flash-cribs and brothels, and gam bling-dens. The haberdashers of the metropolis are particularly exposed to plunder at the hands of their shopmen, who keep up what is called , 4 a pretty game" in the several places which have come under our condemnation. The facilities are great, and the temptation (the love of a " blowing") irresistible to a young man under the excitement of liquor, and acted. upon by the intoxicating intoxicating character of the scene. he system upon which the eminent house of Morrison and Co., of Fore-street, acts, is well worthy of no tice. There are upwards of one . hundred and fifty men employed every day on the premises. These are divided into companies, each of which has -a separate department to- attend . to, and i s under the controul of. a superintendent, who is responsible for the goods under his care. -To steal on the premises, under such an arrangement as exists there, is almost impossibl e . Thi s se curity is increased by the example of vigorous industry exhibited by all the partners, and the encouragement to study in the hours of relaxa tion from business. All the persons employed sleets in the premises, where a library i s fi tt i ng up for their u se . E s t a blishments not one -tenth of the size are daily suffering from the dishonest y of Servants. Surely particul ar ly it is the duty of shopkeepers, at a d el i when there is such lament able defectiveness in the police, to use every exertion calculated to abate the necessity of ap plying to the police at all.--Timet. Sir William Alexander, the Chancellor Elect for Ireland, has been for some time on - a visit to Lord Manners, at his seat at Yoxford, in Suffolk. Sir 'William may be expected to arrive here in the course of n e xt mouth.--Dublin Mail.
