(From Bentley's Miscellany for September.) The following amusing portraiture will afford some entertainment to our readers—it is so intelligently written that it can leave no doubt about the original : At the head of the list of auctioneers of the pre sent day stands a gentleman of such high endow ments and unquestionable superiority in his vocation, that I hardly dare presume to attempt his portraiture. He is a grand remove above the general caste of his order, In his person is concentrated all the aristo cracy of his calling. He is in the Auction Mart what Rothschild used to be on 'Change, or what Da niel Lanlbert would have been at Guildhall, had he been a member of the City Corporation, a triton among the minnows, a perfect leviathan, or, as the geologists would have it, a perfect iguanadon. He stands alone —not only, in the box, but in the eye of the world, and of his pigmy brethren of the hammer. The appearance of this gentleman in public is heralded, by the advertisement for several months in the princi pal newspapers of . a programme of his approaching sales, which presents as fair a specimen as pen could supply of the plausive and alluring powers, by the exercise of which his great professional eminence has been achieved. 'These effusions are unlike anything which ancient or modern literature affords, or rather, they combine the perfections of both, and in the mix ture of perspicuity, luxuriance, and refinement, which pervade them, as compositions they may be said to be without a parallel. He has the happy faculty of in vesting a genteel residence with supernatural en chantments, and of transporting his readers, all in the way of business, into the regions of fairy land where splendour and beauty strive for the mastery. And he does it without drawing an invention for a fact, or presuming to enter one item in his catalogue which an inspection of the estate does not justify. His effects are wrought by the sheer art of colouring. Where an ordinary auctioneer would give a descrip tion of a site, he will give a history of a site, and gar nish it with a train of pleasing and romantic associa tions. He exhausts the pictorial beauties of his scene and "then imagines new." The vegetable world he endues with spirituality, and will give the ivy credit for ingenuity, as well as devotion to the domain that cherishes it, in the grace and order with which it en twines itself round the walls. Rocks he inspires With symmetry, and embryo chalybeates are. incubated- by his magic touch. Pomp and retirement are offered in equal perfection ; here the tournaments of ancient days might be transcended, and yet .ZimaiBrinati iitlyd found inspiration for his muse. The thought that suggests itself to the mind on perusing these things is, how can the man knock down so many 'paradiies ? Is he a destroying angel in disguise ? or is it " jawbone," he wieldeth in his left hand, miscalling' it a' hammer ? On the day appointed, and within five oi ton mi . - nutes after the hour fixed for Nish-108S, he is announced by the ringing of a bell, a cluster of eager-looking persons in the lobby are see fl auction-room, heat, b. bill wendin,g towards the •• . • bout . fift ; yearii a i „93 l ti.'i sbnid paikrti hiS „:.4nd, taittin* (*itlithit looking at any one as he mo?. - e#s) in a Intl(' nasal tone and peremptory- manner. .Ile ascends the pulpit, and takes his seat, where he is seen more at leisure.

Inter ruptions now b eg i n t o arise. Gentlemen with ready money will ask questions.

On Saturday Frederick Shackelford, who was some time ago charged with having, with several others, defrauded tradespeople of goods of considerable value, and James Gosbell, who stands charged with having conspired, with others, to defraud the same tradespeople, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Goddard, the solicitor for the prosecution, was in attendance. ' Thomas Harris stated that he resided at Maidstone, and that he went into the service of Beaumont (be tween whom and Shackelsford, it will be recollected, a connexion for the purpose of defrauding shopkeepers was upon the first examination established) as porter, about the middle of June last. The shop had been opened in Week-street, in the linen-drapery line the day before. Beaumont was there himself, and also a person of the name of Charles Sydney Smith, and a man named James Gosbell. There was likewise a person of the name of Robert Beaumont pre sent, who was represented to be Beaumont's fa ther. All these three persons acted as shopmen to Beaumont. There was very little stock in the shop when witness first went thither, and he was there till the shop was closed by Robert Beaumont, and during all that time only one parcel of goods came in, and that was a lot of flannels and other drapery goods. There was very little custom to the shop in consequence of people cominc , repeatedly for goods which they cou ld not be supplied' with. The shop was kept open by Robert Beaumont and Gosbell till Wednesday, the 10th of August, when witness closed it in the evening, and Robert Beaumont said he would not have it opened any more ; and told witness to get a cart next morning, as the goods should be removed. Witness acted accordingly, and helped Robert Beaumont to remove the stock and furniture to a house in York place. The furniture was very trifling, and the whole of the stock removed appeared to be worth about 601. The stock had been diminished each time after Beau- mont and Smith came down to Maidstone, and went back again. Parcels which had been on the shelves disappeared, and the shop looked more naked. William Kimbrell said he had been a pot-boy at the Bull and Mouth Tap, in St. Martin's-le-Grand, for about six months previous to the middle of July last, when he went to take a situation at the Great Western Railway. During the time he was at the Bull and Mouth the prisoner and several other per sons, amongst whose names were those of B eaumon t and Smith, used to frequent the parlour. His mis tress suspected the party to be swindlers, and at length forbad them the house, but they continued to call as long as he remained in the place. The LORD MAYOR said they stood committed for trial, Shackelsford for having defrauded the several parties who prosecuted, and Gosbell for having con spired with several others to defraud them. His Lord ship said the offences were bailable, and Gosbell's bail was accepted. Shackelsford was committed to New gate in default of bail.

PRESTON, THURSDAY EVENING. — The fourth day of the carnival commenced this morning under less fa vourable auspices than the preceding days. The morning was very wet, and retarded much of the en thusiasm which would otherwise have prevailed. The first entertainment this morning was the grand mis cellaneous concert and performance of music at St. `Wilfred's Catholic chapel, at which the Earl of Shrews bury, with his daughter, the Princess Doria Pamphili, Lord Petre, and most of the elite of the aristocracy in this part of country, were present. Amongst the performers were Signor Rubin', Signor Negri, Mdlle. Ostergaard, &c. ; and, amongst other performances, were several selections from the celebrated Stabat Mater of Rossini. These are chiefly to be repeated in the performances at the concert in the theatre to night. Amongst the company also was the Duke of Brunswick, with a numerous suite. The Guild Mayoress gave a public breakfast this morning, at ten o'clock, at the temporary Guildhall, at the Corn-Exchange. Nearly one thousand per sons, including the most fashiontible of the surround ing district, were present. The band of the 60th Rifles, from Manchester, was in attendance, and per formed some of the most admired modern airs. The Guild Mayor and Mayoress presided, supported by halberdiers, and all the pomp of former magnificence. The principal toasts given were—" The Queen," "The Duke of Lancaster," and "The. Lancaster Witches," who had for some centuries kept up the attraction to the Guild. After the dejeuner, dancing commenced, and continued to a late hour in the afternoon. The Preston Guild races were held in the afternoon, under very auspicious circumstances. The stewards were, R. / Townley Parker, Esq., the late Member for the borough ; J. N. Farrington, Esq.; J. Meiklam, Esq.; and W. Standish Standish, Esq. The clerk of the course was Mr. Orton, - of York. One excellent arrangement on the course was the entire prohibition, by the authorities, of every de scription of gaming. • Notwithstanding the inaus piciousness of the day, at least thirty thousand per sons were congregated, in addition to those who were also assembled to view the regatta from the romantic sides of the Ribble. - The following is a statement of the diTerent firms which have been robbed by the gang of rascals :—Mr. Paley, perfumer, Lombard-street, of goods to the amount of 581. 4s. sd. This tradesman succeeded in recovering another parcel which he had sent to the conspirators. Messrs. 'Welsh, Gregory, and Cubits, of goods to the amount of 571. Os. 2d. 111 r.

Mr. George Frederick Minton, of goods to the amount of 1651.55. " End the heartache, And the thousand natural cares that:flesh is heir to," — he " must be satisfied," and catechises the advocate accordingly ;—the catechumen looks condescension, and meets his inquiries with promptitude and effect. I understand there are few that venture to ask ques tions of this gentlemen who ever take much by their motion ; for if they elicit, as they often do, infor mation favourable to the seller, so much the better for him; and if the colloquy have the opposite ten dency, such is his ready versatility, that he can an ticipate a thrust with the needle's point, or chaff his adversary into hopeless silence. He now stands up, and commences his exordium. This is surpassing. The beauties of nature are here eclipsed by the flowers of eloquence, and the figures of rhetoric cast into the shade by the nameless air with which he utters his eulogium on the house and grounds about to be knocked down to the highest bidder. I had been attracted to the scene by a perusal of his printed lucubrations, and now, in the presence of the master-spirit from which they had emanated, felt thankful that the property was so far beyond my poor means of investment, as to leave me nothing to fear from the wiles of the arch-tempter before me. In his oral address he rejects all formali ties of diction, throws aside the restraint of conti nuity, and speaks with a racy energy truly irresisti ble. He unites the acumen of the pleader, the esprit of the wit, and the fascination of the improvisatore— makes his hits and points like a great actor, and works them up with the aid of his potent physiognomy, his equally potent action, and his hammer. He states the valuation, and contends that it is too low—and dilates upon the brightening prospects of agriculture under the blessed effects of Sir Robert Peel's new measure, which he states to be perfect, and contents him self with simply predicting, upon his honour as a gentleman, that it must work incalculable good for the interests of all classes ' and conse quently of every class i n p ar ti cu l ar . Upon his de scending more into detail I was struck by the felicity with which he dwelt on the exquisite adaptation of the land then under sale for the purpose of fattening bullocks (it was the day on which he sold the large estates of Montagu Parker, late M.P. for South De vonshire, and the land at Paington is famed for fattening cattle). He was remarkably impressive here. There was a depth of conviction, a force, and a meaning in his enunciation of his belief in the land's capacity to fatten bullocks, which showed how completely he had thrown himself into his case ; and the man must have been no other than an habitual sceptic who could haVe sat and heard those words from his lips, and have har boured even a lurking doubt that bullocks of any ex traction, or of whatever previous habits. of *Jul gence, both could, and were the choice given them would have gorged themselves to repletion on the nu tritious pasture in praise of which he made this power ful appeal. The bidding is at its height, and h e throws in a little episode about th e chalybeate which " only wanted encouragement, and Harrowgate and Leamington would have to hide their diminished heads." He takes a sip of the coloured water. A meek man in the centre begs to know why the timber was not mentioned in the catalogue? The auctioneer affects incredulity, but finds, on inspection, that the impor tant article in question has been omitted. He makes the acknowledgment; but, instead of apologising for the oversight, retaliates upon his inquisitor for his pre sumption, by telling him plainly he is now expected without equivocati(m to become the fortunate pos sessor. The auction advances, and with every new offer he finds fresh matter for dissertation. He alludes to the contiguity of the railroad, and corn ments with infinite force upon the luxury of , EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT PRESTON.—lnformation was on Friday received at Bow -street of a robbery having been committed in Preston, to the amount of nearly 2,000/. It appears that the property, which consists entirely of notes, was enclosed in a ma roon-coloured pocket-book, which was stolen from the pocket of a gentleman, whilst walking in the street of that town. The numbers and amount of the stolen notes are as follow :—A 530 L note, No. 15,419, dated Manchester, Feb. 15, 1842, signed Z.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.-4511 Friday an inquest was held before C. J. Carttar, Esq., et the White Hart Tavern, Greenwich, on view of the body of a man who was found in the river, off the Isle of Dogs. From the dress of the deceased, it was presumed that he had been a steward on board a foreign vessel, but no evidence could be adduced as to his name or connections. It was stated that on the body being found, an undertaker and his assistant went down the river, and placed the body in a coffin, and were bringing it up to Greenwich in a boat, when the boat capsized, and the two gentlemen in black were immersed in the water, and were in great danger, but were, after much difficulty, rescued by some water men, who put off to their assistance. The coffin, with the body of the deceased in it, floated some distance down the river before it could be again picked up. The Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned."

A poor woman having entered into the studio of the celebrated Florentine goldsmith, Maso Finiguerra, bearing in her hand a packet of wet linen, incautiously placed it upon a table on which lay a small silver plate that the artist had just finished engraving. In order to see the effect before it was enamelled, he had filled the lines with a composition very nearly approach ing our common printing ink, composed of lamp-black and oil ; and the woman, upon taking up her parcel, found a very neat impression of the subject upon the wet napkin •in which it was enveloped. Such is the story told by Vasari, and if not exactly true, it has, at least, the merit of being highly probable.—D man Review. GUILDHALL. Two respectable looking young men, named Henry Butport and Francis Court, clerks in the Money Or der-office, at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le- Grand, were placed before Sir Geo. Carroll, charged by Mrs. Matilda Bowley, of No. 31, Draper-place, Burton-crescent, with having attempted to deprive her of two pounds under the circumstances detailed below. Mr. Clarkson attended for the complainant. ' She stated that she was a married woman, but her husband was at present in the hospital. She had money in the Savings' Bank, and a few days ago she drew some of it out. The money she received was all in sovereigns, and they were all of the present reign, except one which was a sovereign of the reign of Wnilliam the Fourth. She went to the General Post-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, to obtain a money order for W. She put down two of the new govereigns, and a new shilling. The prisoner Bul port received the money, and took it •back into the. office as she supposed to weigh the sovereigns, In about four or five minutes he returned and said she had Given him a light soverei and a bad one, and he laid down a light sovereign '` the reign of George IV. and a gilt medal. She denied at once that she had tendered these coins, and both risoners said then she should be taken efore Mr, J'eacock. She was conveyed before Mr. Peacock, and he re marked to the prisonerßulport, " Why this is not the first affair of the sort you have had." He would not entertain the charge, and complainant therefore sum moned the defendants to answer the charge. Tile Magistrate consulted with Mr. Clarkson, and the case was adjourned for the purpose of having the attendance of Mr. Peacock and the constable at the Post-office. On the arrival of Mr. Peacock the examination was resumed. The defendant, in reply to the statement of com plainant, said he took the shilling, sovereign, and counterfeit from the complainant. Without having first looked at it he weighed the counterfeit, and see ing it was very light, he called the attention of Air. Court, his fellow-clerk, to that fact. lle then looked at it, and seeing it was counterfeit he took it to the President, and left it in his hands. He afterwards not weighed neces sarily to Mr. Peacock's office to state the circumstances. Sir GEORGE CARROLL asked what paused -him to leave tte.window after be had taken up the sove otevfwereforemegigiegit.inehesgde. re withinign s ? s iEgoHh D Rt eG e f Eolo e ef n uef d a ttAt hotßnhefßtetosh‘a%Le.iiLdnr public.dte :0 thought reach 1 gt sovereigns errohf htthehesi igos w eahpul e rer r r tash e cee n mtni placed o swa t ' i ir t Snildi o yi? f wG the view of the public to weigh the gold was very unsatisfactory, leaving an opening for suspicion, if not trickery. Mr. Peacock said there were two clerks engaged at the window, and one was a check on the other. Mrs. Bowley produced the eight new sovereigns, one 6f them being of the last reign. Francis Court said he had been in the Post-office two years. lle was at the window with the defend ant. Did not see him take the money from the com plainant, but when he was weighing it he called wit ness's attention to the lightness of the sovereign. He was engaged in making an entry. The scales are placed b2,tween them. 'Was not aware whether any gold was lying on defendant's desk at the time he re ceived complainant's money. It sometimes is not put in the bowl immediately. Sir GEORGE asked if the bowl was kept on or in the desk ? Witless said it was kept in a drawer, like a banking-house. By Mr. Peacock—lf defendant had been absent from the window more than a minute or two witness would have gone to it to attend on the complainant. Had never seen a counterfeit in Mr. B.'s possession. By Sir G. CARROLL—They did not weigh every sovereign. If they were new it was thought unne- cessary. Sir GEORGE inquired the nature, of the case that had occurred before of uttering a counterfeit? Mr. Peacock said that was a clear case. It was detected at once, and the party, an Irishwoman, confessed to him that she had come to pass it wilfully, and that somebody was waiting for her in St. Martin's-le- Grand. Matthew Peak, the Post-office constable, was exa mined as to what each party said at the time, but it thatplie a he t h o a u t g i tt h did not alter the complexion of the to him case. In ans wer to a question whether it didmot u to search Mr. Bulpit and i o s_ c did not search either party, because he was under the direction of Mr. Peacock. B Mr. Peacock said Mr. upi s character stood so high that he could not suspect him of ringing the changes. The Alderman would observe that the f ema l e charged him with changing both sovereigns, one being good, and therefore changed without an object. He called Mr. Barth, the President of the Money Order Office, to speak to defendant's character. Mr. Barth expressed the highest opinion of his in tegrity. He was selected as trustworthy from 60 other clerks. He received about 500/. per day. The counterfeit was brought to him for inspection. Sir GmaGE CARROLL, after devoting an hour to the inquiry, said that a young man receiving 5001. a day would, if badly disposed, have so many oppor tunities of fraud, that he would not, like the de fendant, have escaped imputation till now. This was a single case of complaint against him, and, if what the complainant stated was true, he had committed at the most only a mistake by pl ac i ng her money near other •gold. Y But it was not made out that he had made such a mistake, and Nr. Buliieo character 4. ,i placed him above suspicion of wrong doing. On the other hand, the story told 'by the complainantleas consistent in all its parts, and corroborated by the production of the rest of the new sovereigns. She had acted, too, throughout, like a person who was ' positive as to the fact that both her sovereigns were new and of the present reign, and that the sovereign of George IV. was not one of the two she had pre sented. She immediately said she would seek re. dress when her husband came home, and then she sought relief from the Magistrate. In the absence of more positive evidence, however, he was unwilling to give a more decided opinion, but he trusted that in future the money taken at the window would be tested in the view of the public, and so prevent such mistakes for the future.—The case was then dismissed. Edith Rouse, the female servant who was charged by her master and mistress with stealing three diamond rings, was discharged. BOW-STREET. William Jfoncas was charged with stealing a watch value 205., from Edward O'Rooke. The complainant, about fifteen years of age, stated that he first knew the prisoner about a month ago; he represented himself to witness as a watchmaker, and prevailed on him to let him have his watch to clean. IFitness gave him the watch for that purpose, and he had not seen it since, except once when he evaded him. Yesterday he met him at a public-house in Soho, when he gave him into custody. The prisoner said he had given the watch to his brother to be cleaned. Mr. TwrroaD said he could not commit. the pri soner for stealing the watch, but he could commit him for unlawfully disposing of it; he, therefore ordered him to pay 40s. for the misdemeanor, and 20s. the value of the watch, or in default go to prison for six weeki.—The prisoner was removed in custody. James Samuel Brown, who was remanded from yesterday, for the attendance of the Postmaster of Caine, in order to complete the last two cases of forgery of Post-office orders against him, was t hi s day ' again placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford ; and the postmaster having given evidence similar to that' given by the other postmasters, as already detailed in our reports, the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions, on fo ur distinct charges of forgery. QUEEN-SQUARE. A tall, athletic-looking man, who stated his name to be Joseph Watson, was placed at the bar, on the charge of burglariously entering the house of Mr. Thomas Beck 'Walters, of No. 17, Victoria-road, Pimlico, and stealing therefrom a quantity of shawls. From the joint evidence of William Ham and police-constable 27 B, it appeared that the prisoner broke through a skylight at the back of the prose- • cutor's premises at five o'clock this morning, and haying stolen the articles named, was about making his escape by the same way, when his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground, making such a noise as to awaken some of the clerks. An alarm was theft given, and the policeman, after a sh ar p c h ase , suc ceedea in taking him into custody, after he threw the shawls into an area. When searched at the station house, a large stick, with an iron hook and spike at the top, which was capable of 'being used as a most deadly weapon, and a knife, were found upon him. The prisoner, who refused to say anything at pre sent, was fully committed on the charge of burglary, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. UIVIOIIr-HALL. Daniel Good, a timber-dealer and wharfinger, was charged with uttering a forged bill for 1631. 13s. 9d., purporting to be the acceptance of Evans, Brothers, and Co., merchants, of Three Cranes, Thames-street. Mr. Clarkson, on the part 'of the prosecution, gave the outline of the case, and called Mr. G. D. Gordon, who stated that he was building some houses in the neighbourhood of the Kent-road, and that his buitdc.r. being in difficulties, he took a quantity of timber of him. A portion of this timber the prisoner, through the medium of a Mr. Alexander, employed by com plainant on the occasion, offered to purchase for . 1591. 18s. Gd., and in payment tendered a bill for 163/. 13s. 9d., purporting to be accepted by D. Beck ham, whom he described as one of the partners in the above firm ; he represented himself at the same time to be acting for a person named Stephen Stevens. Complainant having ascertained the respectability of 'the firm alluded to, accordingly took the bill, giving his own at two months, for the difference to be deducted from the amount, and the price of the timber. Subsequently to the transaction, inquiries were made at Messrs. Evans, Brothers, and Co., to ascertain the genuineness of the bill before taking it to be discounted, when they at once pronounced it to be a forgery. Upon this discovery complainant went to the Queen's Bench, where the prisoner was con fined, and having informed him of the fact, he ex- pressen his surprise, saying, that if the bill was as re presented, it should be set all to rights in 24 hours. Complainant at another interview with the prisoner, called upon him to restore him back his timber, offer ing at the same time to resign possession of the bill, but this proposition not having been acceded to, he, therefore, was compelled to adopt the present proceed ings against him. On behalf of the accused it was contended, that it would be shown that the acceptor of the bill belonged to the firm upon which he had drawn, and that it would be duly honoured when it became due. It having been stated that some important witnesses were not in attendance, the further hearing of the charge was postponed until a future day, and in the meantime the accused was taken back to the Queen's Bench Prison, of which he has been ah inmate for some time. GREENWICH.. Frederick Hilder, who has for a short time been residing in the Greenwich-road, Greenwich, and carrying on the business of a greengrocer, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Grove, charged with bigamy, he having married a . widow of the name of Eliza Seal, on the Bth of last month, at the church of St. Alphap.:e, Greenwich, his wife, whose maiden naive was Maria _Brian, being alive, and whom he married on the 29th of August, 1822, at the church of St. Mary, Lambeth. Mr. Burton, the usher of the Court, informed the worthy Magistrate, that the duped women were •in such a state of excitement, in consequence of the un manly and brutal conduct of the prisoner, that they were unable to attend to give evidence against him, and wished the case to stand over until this day, when in all probability they would be more composed and collected. Mr. GROVE said that the case, under these circum stances, should be postponed as requested.
