A respectable trades man, who residesin tbe , Stramly had. supplied a, Baronet, who is now upon a foreign mission, with clothes, &c:, for several years. The Baronet had occasion to change one of his principal servants, whose duty it was, to examine the hills, 'and he happened to get one into his employment, who had been in the habit of levying contributions, in the shape of per centage, upon the shopkeepers with whom his for mer masters were in the. habit of dealing. The new ser vant, who expected his commission money; at the usual time from the tailor, was astonished at not receiving it with the receipt for the amount of the bill, and expressed him self strongly upon the subject to the tradesman ; but it was in vain—no commission money was forthcoming, and the servant determined to get rid as soon as possible of so unprofitable a customer upon his master's purse. New orders were given, but they were not long executed before the tradesman received instructions to send in his bill. He was surprised at this change in the arrangement of the Ba ronet, who had been in the habit of discharging his bill: at stated periods ; but he (lid as he was ordered, observing at the same time to the servant who told him the Baronet's pleasure, that he was not at fill in want of money. The amount of the bill was in a few minutes handed over to the tailor,who little thought that a long time would elapse before he should be again called upon to terve the family with articles which he had always supplied of the most unexceptionable mate rials. After laving waited for many months for an order without being noticed, he suspected that there was some foul play, and resolved to beg an interview with.the Ba sonet. This the servant alluded to was very reluctant to permit. He made a variety of excuses, but the tradesman was not to be denied, and he soon succeeded. ,The matter was then explained. Theservant had,it appeared, ordered in the bill without any instructions from his master, and upon receiving it be took it up initaste to the Baronet, saying, " Mr. B. has sent in his account, Sir, and desired me to tell you that he is waiting helow••for the amount." !' Wait-: ing for the amount !" said the Baronet, " what does he mean? Tell him net to trouble me now with his account." —" Oh, but he says, Sir,"- oLserved the servant, " that he must have it,. and that he will be if he'll go a yard without it." This report of the conduct of the tailor was( told with so much apparent indignation, that the Baronet .never doubting the truth of it, sent a cheque .for the amount of the bill to the shopkeeper, and ordered that another should be immediately substituted. This was just what the ser vent wanted. He soon found a convenient tradesman, who " tipped " bins ten per cent., and made the master pay the commission, by sending him in a considerable overcharge. It is unnecessary to add that this flagrant act of dishonesty wile 'punished by a discharge, and that the defrauded trades man was immediately employed in the usual way. One of the most common tricks to which servants who are dissatisfied with the commission given them by their master's tradesmen, resort, in order to get rid of such ,eco- nomiets, is that of " poisoning" the iiitches in clothes, in boots, in saddles, &e. Some time ago one of the high attendants upon an illustrious person, ordered home some pantaloons from his tailor. The tradesman was punctual, but the pantaloons had to past through the hands of the servant before they reached the master; and as a commis sion had•biren refused, the seams were tipped at once with aquafortis. No sooner did the master put his leg into the pantaloons than it burst through the sides, to the horror of the hon. gentleman, who was preparing to go to a clinker. The servant, however, exercised no judgment in the use of the poison, for he tipped every pair with so unsparing a hand, that his master would, if he had walked out in such clothing, soon have had the cloth flying about hie legs. The pantaloons were'sent to the maker, who was ordered to ac count for the bad quality of the article (the cloth having shared the bad character of the stitching.) The vile trick wag immediately detected, and the tailor, without hesita tion, charged the guilty person, in the presence of his master, with having used the aquafortis. The servant could not deny the accusation, and was of course at k nee dismissed. A very great alarm has been struck into the great mass of servants of the nobility and gentry, through the coun try, in consequence of the exposure made in this paper fiom time to time of the system of fraud and robbery pur sued by them and the tradespeople. The good rendered by the exhibition of the various family deformities which have thus been held out to the condemnation of the public, has been very general. One instance, amongst many which have been mentioned, is worth recording, The Times newspaper, in which there appeared a description of .the combination entered into between some shopkeepers and servants, to 'the prejudice of the masters of the latter, fell into the hands of a gentleman of large fortune and estates, near Walthamstow, who has for some time kept 16 ser vants. He determined to examine his tradesmen's bills more scrupulously than usual, and in the course of the alte rations which he found it necessary to adopt, he ascertained that no less than 15 out of his 16 domestics were in the habit of robbing him. He went to work rapidly. He opened the boxes of his servants, and found some of his pro perty under the lock and key of every one of the " below stairs" gentry, with the exception of the groom : out he packed all the guilty persons; men and women, without per mitting one to sleep in his house another night. We do no not know whether he learned that his principal ser vants were allowed a per centage upon the bills which were annually paid, but certain it is that some of his trades- people felt great disappointment at the change which took place in the arrangements of the mansion, Numbers of respectable shopkeepers' have been delighted at the unmask ing of the troops of domestic thieves, who have availed themselves of the power which local ciremnstances gaVe them over the property of their masters, and those who have beep in the habit of paying commission-money, ,and of course charging in proportion, are greatly annoyed at the 'prospect of a different system. We have good reasons for stating; that since the articles alluded to appeared, thou sands of pounds have been saved to- persons of affluence, who used to place implicit reliance in their seivanls. The following may be depended upon as an accurate list of ar rangements to which we have in many high families given a complete death-blow. THE HOUSEKEEPER. This domestic has under her care, and at her special command, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the green grocer, the pastry-cook, the oilman, and the fishmonger. In many families the average amount of the bills of those tradespeople exceeds 500/. a year, to speak within a very narrow compass, so that the lady who superintends this list, pockets at least 10 per cent. upon 3,5001. a year, a calcu lation which makes her mistress of 3501. a year annually, independent of her wages, which are enormously high in deed, proportioned to the expenditure of the family. THE BUTLER. This personage has under his control the boot-maker, the batter, the wine-merchant, and the tailor. It is estimated that in some families the tailor alone pays 2001. a year to the butler for the custom. How much cabbage is be not entitled to for the important services be renders to this des pot of the kitchen ? The intimacy between him and tradesmen in his list, is kept up by an honest interchange of services. The butler looks at the bottom of their bills, without e ver glancing at the items, and regularly deducts his " regulars." The interposition of any other tradesman is ridiculous. If tke master happens to order clothes upon the recommendation of some dashing friend, at the house of a " snider," unknown to the bntler, this trusty servant, if he does not " poison" the stitches, is sure to persuade his master that the • " new cut" it most miserably deficient, and absolutely duns him with cotnplaints, until he throigs the clothes to the worthy person-who is entitled to the " cast offs" (the butler himself), and orders the old trades- Person once more. ma n to decorate his TUE LADY'S-MAID. The Lady's-maid rules over - the milliner and the silk.: mercer. Her profits are very great indeed. She uni formly takes the custom of the family to some one of the worthies" whose practices we have described under an appropriate head, arid she has for herself all the cast-off clothes, besides her per tentage for the recommendation Her power is the greater, as, when she finds it necessary to exercise it, she has to address herself to the vanity of the weaker sex. - - THE COACHMAN. This potentate settles with the coach-maker, the corn ' tn chandler, and the harness-maker. He is a great " poisoner" 76' of stitches, spoiler of corn, and contaminator of varnish, and his horses are sure to eat five times as much as those :CR of other people. The farrier comes under his authority : 1 :3 some times, but this tradesman more freq uentl y is in d ebted to the groom, who sicken s and shoes the horses as often rg . as he pleases, and regularly demands a moiety of the r 9 amount for the medicine and shoes, THE GROOM. This servant plunders most extensively. His profits are not known to his fellow servants, for he has to look after the horse• dealer, and will not hesitate to hide a spavin for a 101. note. Hay and oats supply him with still more profits. It has been stated to us, that a Noble Lord, who is connected with one of the great hunts, lost, for some years by his groom, at the rate of at least 1,0001. annually. We can readily believe this, as the facilities for plunder are inconceivably great. The depredations committed upon the wealthy and the eminent in rank by these reptiles, have been going on for a ! ser i es o f years without interruption.

[The great press of matter has compelled us to de 'er the insertion of this article, which hai been ready Or several days.] , _ _ _ • The 'promise of amendment held out in the con versation which took place on Thursday se'miight, at:the Bow-street police-o'Ace, if it can be relict! upon, is very agreeable. The positive denial that :Lbases exist in the. parish of _St. Paul, Covent ga'rden, which is now, as is known to one of the Magistrates who. preside over• it, better regulated nd conducted than it has been : since the reign of, Queen Anne,,is a sort of security that there will be: tome check given to the nightly, ,atrocities' of which. ,ve haVe exhibited a few specimens. 'lt was with; deasure we read the report, - which, 'showed how. ';eenly our rebuke was felt in'the proper quarter, al though what was said upon that memorable occasion is strangely opposed to the sentiments delivered but i few days ago by the very same atithorities. ." It, is no wonder,, said-they,.." that the press should have complained bitterly of the. scandalous condition, of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, and it is: disgraceful that such abuses are allowed to 'exist., Indeed, the public are obliged to the press for ex posing the shameful transactions. Every word' of, is' true." This adoption of the - tone of our re-. monstrance is very flattering, particularly as the ob-1 servation issued from the lips of police magistrates. It is therefore with surprise we learn that they have, ;is publicly retracted the, acknowledgment of the: truth of our.accusation, supported as it has been, not only by themselves but, by every man of, experience i , and veracity in the metropolis. But a great allowaneet' is'to be made for the weakness of human nature. Police! magistrates have been in general treated with indul-i gence: they are beldup daily to the admiration andass! tonishment of the public,—the rivals of Solon, and` Lycurgus, and Solomon. They are seldom casti-, gated except for some act of unaccountable folly or oppression, 'and it must be expected that they will now and' then show symptoms of being spoiled. The condition of mind which thig' charitable forbear-, ance of the press on occasions' of 'offence, and its, warm, and benevolent praise when a sentence is ut-' tered by their worships in' the cause of humanity,' have reduced them to, is possibly not a little aggra vated by the' very remote terms of acquaintance, which the net' Older Secretary permits to exist be tween them and himself.' It is on those accounts we look with mercy at the contradictions which their Worships have thought proper to give to their own words, as if to confirm the accuracy of the pic ture we have drawn of the profligacy on one side, and the neglect on the other. They say' they.know. nothing of " flash-houses, or the enormities described in this paper. What 69 they mean by this ? they mean to say they do not know that there arel more infamous houses,' the resort of thieves of all, sorts, in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, than are to be found in any three or four parishes in the whole metropolis besides ? 'They don't understand, what is meant ;by flash-houses'! Flash-houses are,!. we reply for their information, infamous public houses, which are annually licensed by themselves. We are glad, however, - to perceive, as we said, before, that there is likely to be an abatement of the bulky nuisance which this abominable district presents, and we consider the silence of other', magistrates as infinitely a worse symptom than the respectable vehemence of Sir Richard Birnie or Mr. Halls, however, at-variance with what is, or what has been, or What is likely ever to be. The constable who took up the cause of the parish authorities has obeyed. the suggestion of the Magistrates, and written a letter to the' editor of this paper. He has, it will be seen, adopted a tone much more judicious than that of those who recom s mended this mode of falsifying our statetnents. Although he asserts that the neighbourhood is im proved, he does not deny that the late conditios of it was dreadful in the extreme. He says it-'is un true that nothing in the shape of actual reform of the existing nuisances has been effected.; " for the public-honses in the vicinity of the thestse, at least those in St-. Paul's pariall,-ssotosious *keeping opal, to most unwarrantable hours for 0 a purpose of supplying bad characters with spirits, &c. are now regularly closed. at, the stipulated time mens tioned by the Magistrates." We believe that the simplicity of the constable, who has been hitherto employed iu a quiet and unambitious line of business, has been imposed upon. We believe that he fully thinks that when by order of the Magistrates the door of the public-house is once closed, it can no more be opened on that night. No doubt the doors of the " flash cribs" are all shut at a certain hour; but how Often are they opened afterwards to strings of thieves of both sexes, as well as to officers ? and what magic is there in the voice of the watchman, who knocks with his staff and says, "All's right, master, it's only me!" That this constable is a most respectable person, and dispoged to do more than any other person in the parish, can be easily imagined; but that he has almost every thing to learn, is as' palpable to those who know the town, as that he has distinguished himself more by his ap parent sense of the importance of truth than other people. The Magistrates have assured him of their support in his exertions; he shall have ours too.— Weshall willingly unite with their Worships in the task; but their Worships must not take all the credit to themselves, nor must they be offended if we point out and reprobate abuses which may escape their vigilance and discernment. Informers have, we regret to say, great privileges irk some of the police-offices. An informer goes to Bow-street office, and applies for and obtains a Summons requiring the owner of a flash house to attend and answer fot admitting customers after sea sonable hours. The time for hearing the merits of the charge arrives, but no informer appears. The Magistrate is told*that no person stands forward against the " covey" who keeps the crib. He shakes his head, and says, " Oh ! I see how it is. We know what has caused this," and dismisses the accused without further comment. His Worship at the same time well knows that the informer has been " tipped" (paid) for the accommodation ; and yet, when the same fellow who has been bribed to absent himself applies against some other person whom he has found to he a runt customer (unwilling to com promise), a summons is instantly granted, and the case is proceeded in, as if the veracity of the ras cal, whose silence has been purchased, were to' be de pended upon in any other instance. Thus the pub lican who happens to violate the rule by one mi nute, and who never harbours thieves or informers, is sure to have the latter dOWn upon him with all their vengeance. We hope that the cause of those gentry will not be angrily take n u p , and that this paper will not be charged wit h havin g libelled them amongst others who put the laws into execution. — It is notorious,—and we refer to the Magistrates themselves for the correctness of our statements, — that the informers are paid by, all the publicans, who are interested in s topping their mouths, and that t h e •moment the " tippery" (money) is given, the moiety of the fine, which should go elsewhere, drops along with the rest into the pocket of the fellow Who professes to do justice to the public. About ,41. or 5/. administered twice a year operates as a sleep ing dose upon the senses of the informer, although his "hours of occupation" seldom or never cqm mence in this line before midnight. If a stranger happens to be in one of the delicate " consarns" i n the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, after act-of- Parliament hours, and is told that the . person taking a go of " blue ruip' (gin) at the bar is an informer, he naturally asks the landlord why he is so m a d as to serve such a dangerous character. " Dangeroto !" quoth the publican, " Pooh, him and me under stands one another. If he peached against tsi, it would be a good Si. or 101. a year out of his way, besides odd drops of the doctor at tile - bar." Receivers of stolen goods are always in droves about the office. These gentlemen, also, have their privileges. An interchange o f civilities frequently takes place between them and some of the officers, who are willing to smoke a pipe, crac k a bottle and a joke with them, andthe proprietors of houses of accommodation for both sexes of all ages, the owners of gaming-houses, and those respectable thieves who disdain to do a dirty action, but plunder where some character is to be got by the achievement, for which they may be, if not ce•scrag!. - t •ed" for death, at all events " . lagged" fOr life.. There is a low public house close .to the noses of their Wpr'ships, in which many, of tilos& ruffians are in the, habit of sitting the greater part of the day. A stranger who would look in, and see them playing cribbage ,and smoking and drinking, would suppose that they - snatched an hour for relaxation from the labours of their several Deco patioJis. But it is not so : there they sit every. day'' from morning till night, waiting 'for the arrival of their :rose (a man deputed , to pick up news of robberies), ;Ind the moment any thief is " pulled" at the office. :iff they scamper to watch the examination, and as :!ertain Whether they cannot get hold of the," swag" :Jefore it can be brought forward in judgment. There tever is. tut occasion when what they call a " good" robbery is known at the office to have been cam nitted, upon which they do not receive immediate otelligence. Sbme of them act as " touters" to hose who may have got the " swag," and the mo !lent they find that the thief is " grabbed" (appre aended), they run off to the fence, and give him •he wink to " lumber it in another crib." A no orious receiver, named Reuben, Josephs, who was -ome time ago transported.. for 14 , years, was in the habit of visiting this house, into which some of the ,)fficers often look to say " Tom, or Bill, or Benja min, how do yoU do ?" mid throw off a half-Oar i'en of "'jockey" to the health and at the expense of the company. It has been the fashion with the police (for what reasons it-maybe easily guessed) to say in defence of. their practice of, associating. with thieVes and receivers, - that it is necessary for them lo do so for the protection of the public,—that, in fact, stolen property could not be recovered if the connexion were not kept up. The true meaning of this is, that if the natural hostility which exists be t ween an honest officer and a rogue be acted upon, all chanceof participation is at an end. ,The_ officer is shot out from his perquisite, but the thief and the receiver rtin a thousand hazards,, which they - know not in the ordinary compact, and the public are sure to be benefitted when the thief-taker eats independ ently. of the reptiles whom he is employed to hunt. In the account of the variety of deceptions by which the visitors of flash houses, oyster-shops, and coffee-shops, contrive to draw, any young man of for tune, or any, clerk or shopman, whom they induce to rob. his master, it is difficult to speak with accuracy, without exciting a feeling very ,different from that Which in such cases ought to absorb every other. Some of them sham the man of birth,' education, and fortune; others the simple countryman; and others the buffoon and devil-may-care-sort of fellow. They are all masters in their way, and there is not one of them who would not cut his brother " mater's" throat for It sovereign, if the gallows (not in its dis grace, but its bodily infliction) were not.constantly before his eyes. Such is their love of the crooked path, that they would rob a poor wretch of Gd. although their pockets Were crammed with sovereigns and Bank-notes. - The " gaffer," of whom we spoke in the last article on this subject, is perhaps more like a:human being than any of them. He has been known to, give some trifle in charity to those whom he has contributed to make beggars, while others .have sneered at the entreaty, and, desired an unfortu nate gull to hang or drown himself, as he must be a burden to hiMself and abore to everyone SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPIRIT OF TI-1 PUBLIC JOURNALS We represented !_ , ott !Saturday as « rumours" f Allied le G sc overnments, tlae Grand indiscrimin a t e l y t suc h vess el s from Constantinople, that so f ar f r om showing 1 ence in the pacific pro posals° . , 1 11 hf io t T irs of their subjects as \ve;e within his reach ; and that he required, as a preliminary to anv negocio tiOn, to be indemnified for the loss of his fleet in the port of Navarin. This representation was snapped at in . the usual fashion by an evening paper, in terms which aimed at the credit of a denial, without incurring the responsibility of a positive falsehood ; and it was doubted by ano ther, (more respectable) contemporary, on the ground that such events had not been announced by the Augsburgh Gazelle, or by the private letters, and that it " was known" from PariS.that the decision of the Porte was to depend on. the Divan of the 11th ult. Now we state as facts what we were before content to describe as rumours, and to this extent—viz., Ist, that all the Russian vessels have been .actually stopped ; and 2d, that the Reis Effendi did absolutely as sure the Minister of Great European Power, that ". compensation must precede negotiation." I,3ut we go further, and add that the Reis Effendi " . despaired of negotiation altogether." Report. —but no so well authenticated as the above — affirms that other ships besides the Russian have been laid hold. of at Constantinople : and all-the most repiitable ,sources of information agree that the question has. assumed ,the inosst threatening and warlike character. The Diva', however, as w e have before stated, was to meet on the 11th, two days after the date of the, last intelligence ; and on that meeting will depend the yet uncer tain question - of peace or war.— Times. Since the above was written, we have received intelligence of a later date, which abundantly con irms our previous statement. The einbargo laid on foreign vessels at Constantinople extends to fiaeigners, and is avowed to be done in order to provision the city in case of an - attack. The Sultan h;.l.- expressed the utmost indignation at the descent of Lord Cochrane and General Church on Scyros : he charges English vessels with assisting them; , and complains of this de ,cent even more than ;of the battle of. Navarin.,. A.ustria, however, ,is still actively exerting itself As a mediator.--/bid. It gives us no satisfaction to recur to a sub ject which we mentioned on Saturday with a mixture of regret and disgust,--=we mean the in sult to the venerable Bishop of Norwich, by one from whom he was entitled to the utmost 'respect and tenderness. There may, however, be added to the former statement, - that the im pertinence complained of was accompanied with a sneer at the proinOtion of a clergyman by the Bishop of Norwich, - as having no title to his Lordship's' favour, but his occasionally " play i!tg with him at whist." The Archbishop of Canterbury felt himself obliged to communicate the foolish letter to its innocent object. .What a hateful thing is an intolerant and meddling priest We have been very much amused with an as ide on the game Laws, in Biacktvodds Mag,a ine for December, which, after a great deal of :retended friendship for the aristocracy, sad great adignation at the conduct of _ their opponents, rids with recto - Intending the very measure avhiCh .he writer haS been abusing. We imagine we :ear the writer saying to himself—" come, let ss have a. little sport with these grown babies— here is nothing so gross but they will swallow it— we will mystify them by a pretended regard for heir interests, and they will be so far the dupes of he hearty interest we take in their cause, that hey will never see we arc laughing in our sleeves - st them all the while." When a silly country fellow falls into the hands of sharpers, it is a emu lsion trick of some one in connection with the : !ang to affect to' feel great indignation at their conduct, and to take the part of the simpleton ssith all the ardour of apparent friendship, pro testing that he will stand by him and not see him wronged, and having thus gained his confidence, ie whispers in his car that he had better come to cons with them, for he knows them to be dange stus 'fellows, with 'whom he has no chance what- • .:ser,and he then offers td negociate with them. The esultof the negociation is a recommendation to comply with the chief of their denaands, and if Any hesitation is manifested, he assumes all the sir of indignant virtue, and frightens the poor (lupe into compliance, The process by which Blackwood attempts to noodle the Country Gen tlemen is precisely orthis impudent character. — The writer sets out with stating, that " the efforts which have so long been made by the ltighest . aS well as the other grades of public opi nion, to make the nation believe that its laws And systems are marvellously faulty, have natu rally been emiuently successful.
