EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A Special General Court of the Proprietors of East India Stock, was held this day at the Com pany's House, in Leadenhall-street. The minutes of• the last Court, granting the sum of 20,0001. to the present Marquis of Hastings, having been read, The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that it was made special for the purpose of confirming the ap pointment of a Staff-Captain to the Company's In stitution at Addiscombe and proposed that the said resolution should b e confirmed. 0•. Mr. RANI/AL JACKSON expressed a great partiality for the•Listitution at Addiscombe, which, he said, had answered all the purposes of its establiSlntnt, better than any other institution founded by the Company. It was of great importance,that the military servants of the Company should have , some education, nevertheless he considered that the civil servants of. the Company only needed a certain de gree of proficiency, and that a College was unneces sary for their education. His view was, that the College for the education of the civil servants, should be merged in the Institution for the education'of the military servants of the Company. In conclusion, he expressed his decided approbation of the resolu tion for appointing a Staff Captain. . • • The question was then put, and carried un animously. GRANT TO THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS: The CHAIRMAN then acquainted the Court, that it was also made special for the purpoie of confirm ing the resolution of the last Court, for granting the sum of 20,0001. to- the present Marquis .of Hastings. Mr. RANDAL JACKSON then moved, that the reso lution of a Court held on the 3d February, 1819, granting 60,0001. to the late Marquis of Hastings, be read, and inquired how that sum had been 'ex= pended. The CHAIRMAN replied, that the present Marquis was to have a moiety of the grant, and the other children of the late Marquis the remaining moiety. Sir ROBERT WIGRAM begged to set the Chair man right. The grant was laid out in land, to be enjoyed by the late Marquis during his life, and upon his death and that of the Marchioness, the pro. perty was to revert to the present Marquis upon the payment of 30,0001. to his sisters. The question being put on the confirmation of the resolution, Mr. RANDAL JACKSON said he had some objections to make to the terms of the resoltition. It was a record of the pauperism of tlds• noble family. The Directors might have reasons for this kind of language. They might have documents infOrming them of the pressure of pecuniary difficulties on the mind of a boy of nineteen ; but it was most indeli cate to ground the resolution on the extreme neces. sity of the present Marquis's circumstances. .No language could describe the poverty expressed in the resolution. It went to the extent that if the reso lution did not pass, the Marquis should lie on the boards. Was this proper language towards the son and family of a man who had been spoken of in the high terms in which the late Marquis was, and 'whose splendid services had been so fully acknowledged. It might' be true, as was stated, that the young Nobleman's furniture was in pledge, but the Proprietors had no right to record the ' cir cumstance without proof. There' 'was another objection to the terms of the resolution. It left the .Marchioness and her other children entirely, in the power of the present Marquis. He might say that they had no claim on him, and refuse to admit his mother and sisters to live in the house, the furniture of which this grant was to give him possession.— The young Marquis had an excellent character; it was said he was too much of • a gentleman to be a profligate; but ought the mother and daughters to be thrown entirely into the power ofaboy of nineteen. When the death of the late Marqtiis: was 'contem plated many years ago, it was stated, that in such an.l event the Company would become a husband to his widow, and a father to Iris children. if this was not the mere cant of public life, the Court was not now acting in accordance with its professions. It. was wantonly using terms of degradation, which would give mean and malignant minds a handle for sarcasm, and an opportunity of unnecessarily .wounding the feelings of the widow and children of an eminentand , illustrious man. With these sentiments, he sug gested an amendment, omitting the 'sentences ex pressive of the present Marquis' of Hastings pecuniary embarrassMents, and substituting an acknowledgment of the late Marquis's services. Mr. Hums seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said there 'could be no doubt of the unfortunate circumstances in which the pro perty of the present Marquis was left; but he thought it could do no good to exhibit an account of the debts of this youth, ',which would thereby become a public record.-- 7 -(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Chairman, in conclusion, expressed his adherence to the resolution proposed by the Direc tors, and his disapprobation of the amendment.. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN also defended the ori ginal resolution. and hoped the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. R. Jackson) would be induced to withdraw his amendment, which was brought' forward a day after the fair. _ _ _ General THORNTON thought the original resolu tion was most discourteously worded. When a grant was about to be made, it should be done in a handsome manner. If the Marquis accepted the grant, as the resolution was now worded, he might say with Shakspeare, "My poverty, but not my will consents ;" and the Directors miglit answer " we pay your poverty, and not your will. Nevertheless he thought it. would be injudicious to press the amendment, and would therefore support the ori ginal resolution. The public statement of the young Marquis's difficulties might awaken the benevolence of the present King of France, who partook of the late Marquis of Hastings's hospitality, and , who must be aware that the late Marquis's difficulties arose from his generosity to the distressed French Noblesse. Mr. HUME appealed to the liberality of the Court, whethe r they ought not to make a generoug and l iberal grant, in the terms least likely to give pain to thos e for whom the gift was intended the c ourt for its honour to support the amend ment.• He called on own quis of H astings had been amply Mr. WEEDING t h oug h t the services of the Mar former grants, H requited by the Had the Marquis died rich, no grant would have been made by the Company,. and the grant bein g pr oposed on motives of compass i on, it was right and POlitic that those motives should be stated. He should therefore vote -for the ori ginal resolution. • id, the ant was in Captain MAXWELL sa consi deration of the servic es o f the late r Marquis, and if it g had not beenfor these services, the necessities of the family, however urgent, could not have induced the Court to make the grant. • A DIRECTOR said that it was not at all unusual to refer to pecuniary difficulties, in grants made.by this Court. In the grant of 20,0001. to. Lord Melville, it w as expressly stated that the money should be applied to the liquidation of his Lordship's debts. The CHAIRMAN highly estimated the services of the late Marqui s ; but if it was not for the ne cessities of the family, .he would never have pro posed the present grant. Mr. RANDAL JACKSON replied at some length, and concluded by proposing his amendment as the last `homage to the shade of that illustrious man whose deeds were so often spoken of with gratitude in that Court. After some further discussion as to the terms of the amendment proposed by Mr. Randal Jackson, Sir JOIIN DOYLE said, that as one honoured by the intimacy of the late Marquis, he felt called on to say a few words. The general sentiment throughout the City was, that the Court had tarnished its liberality by the ungracious terms in which it was conveyed.—(Hear.)—lle sup ported the amendment, and hoped the original resolu tion would' not be adhered to from mere tenacity. The amendment was then put and negatived, and thg original motion carded Adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. GUILDHALL. RING-DROPPING.-Henry Hillings and Samuel C o le were charged by two officers with, dropping metal watch chains and seals, and afterwards endeavouring to prevail on boys to buy them. They told the boys they were gold, and asked them a pound for one chain and two ssals,!-- they were not worth, as was alleged before the Magistrate, a penny. • Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER committed them both for want of bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BIGAMY.— George Morris, alias Henry Smith, was brought up for re-examination before Sir GFORGE FAR_ RANT, on a charge of bigamy. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, burst into tears. _ _ _ Mr. Thomas Pocock is deputy clerk of the palish church it Brighton, and has known the prisoner these 10 years by the name of Henry Smith, and who represented himself as a painter and glazier ; having paid his addresses to his sis ter, they were married at the parish church on the 1 Ith September, 1821, by banns, he gave her away. About 12 months since the prisoner suddenly left Brighton, and they heard no more of him until a few days since. He Aaw his sister on Tuesday morning at his own house, No. 23, Bond-street, Brighton. Miss Elizabeth Fry, the second wife of the prisoner, leposed that she had known him these five or six monthi, and that lie had paid his addresses to her under the name of George Morris ; she was married on last Sunday week by banns at Shoreditch church ; she is 21 years of age. William Brown, 17, Little Brook-street, Hampstead road, deposed that Elizabeth Fry is his wife's sister, and the prisoner paid his addresses in the name of George Morris, and was married in that name. Sir GEORGE FARRANT-Have you any thing to say ? Prisoner.—No, Sir. He was then fully committed, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. LAMBETH-STREET. ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.— A respectable looking man, named 'William Taylor, was last night brought up in custody of Lea the officer, and placed at the bar to answer to a charge preferred against him of having murdered his wife. Lea stated that in consequence of a great irritation that prevailed;and the threats of violence which were used by a number of persons in Rosemary-lane, where the prisoner resided, and carried on an extensive business as a general trader, he was sent for, and on arriving in the lane found the house of the prisoner surrounded by a vast mob of people, all of whom were expressing themselves in the bit terest terms of indignation at the dreadful act which they imputed to the prisoner. From the temper that was mani fested he took him into custody, and he was sure that if he had not done so, and removed him out of the reach of the enraged multitude, they would have inflicted some serious injury on him, and perhaps have torn down the house. He, Lea, before he left saw the body of the deceased, over one of the eyes of which there was a severe contusion, a cut in the mouth, and other marks of personal violence ; and from what. he had since been able to ascertain, he had learned that the prisoner and his wife lived on the most un-. happy terms. On Saturday night the latter was obseried to be in her usual state of health, at which time they quar relled, and no more was heard of her until Monday morn • ins when it was discovered that s h e h a d ex pi re d. b Sarah Neagle deposed that she lived opposite the pri soner's shop. On Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock, she passed the house and observed the prisoner strike deceased. On returning in the same direction in a shirt time afterwards, she saw the deceased bleeding vio lently from the nose, and crying bitterly. She heard no more of her until after her death. In reply to a' question from the Magistrate, the witness answered that the de ceased was addicted to drink. Martha Bacon stated that she drank some porter with the deceased late on Saturday night, and at that time she was sober, and had no black eye. The magistrate inquired if the body had been opened or examined by a surgeon ? Lea answered net, but that a surgeon had got directions to do so preparatory to the sitting of the coroner's jury,, which is to be holden this day. The Magistrate replied that liecared not about theco roner's jury, as he was determined himself to investigate fully all such cases. He then gave directions that the surgeon who would examine the body should, with the other witnesses, be in attendance on this day, and that the prisoner in the mean time should be detained.

Miss Jarman appeared last night as Beatrice, to Mr. C. Kemble's Benedict, in the exquisite comedy of " Much Ado about Nothing." Her performance, though not first-rate, was yet far remo ve d f rom mediocrity—its chief defect was a want of vivacity — o f graceful mercurial vivacity--the result of a buoyant constitution and a good, heart. In the deli minion of this quality, Miss Chester far surpassed her—she threw a dash of whim, of eccentricity, into her Beatrice, which seemed, like a well-spring, to bi u p pure and h ea lthy f rom t h e h eart , i n which ble Miss Jarman is deficient. • He r ac ti ng wants ib elasticity ; it is too fixed 7 toomuch set, as it were— t wants a more enlarged range of ideas, and this can o nly be obtained by close study and strict attention -to nature. Mr. Kemble's Benedict is what it al ways has been, an admirable piece of acting, and gave universal satisfaction to a full house. HAYMARKtT. Mrs. Waylett's benefit last night fully justified our anticipations. It was well attended, and passed off lightly and trippingly," like: one of her own songs. Yates's imitations, gave additional zest to the even ing, which was wound up with the agreeable comedy of " Tribulation." FASHIONABLE AND MESCELLANEOU,S. DEPARTURE of the QUEEN of WURTEMBERG.

THAMES TIKINEL.--r•The excavations, which re-commenced a few days,since at the Thames Tunnel, pro ceed in the most favourable manner. From the nature of the soil, and from the great •caution used, not more than one foot per day has as yet been tunnelled. But the fact of, the removal of the shield, to the extent just stated, is of itself a conclusive proof that, the irruption of the water has been effectually guarded against. It is now considered cer tain by the engineers that the work may be terminated suc cessfully, and the only circumstance which can retard its rapid progress, will be the wantof capital. The Directors are now in correspondence with .Government on the sub ject of a loan of money. The opinion is, from what has transpired, that a loan will be granted. The tunnel has been thoroughly cleaned, and the western archway now ex hibits not the least sign of any influx of water, presenting the same pleasing and'novel appearance as before the acci dent. The leakage from springi is less than ever. The eastern archway, being devoted to the use of the workmen, has not been cleared to the same extent as the western arcitway. . SPORTING INTELLIG-ZNCE.

Curtis by this fight has increased his fame, and proved that he is the most finished boxer of his weight in the pre sent age. It is impossible, in fact, to imagine greater per fection in the pugilistic art. His cool judgment--his readiness at defence, and quickness of attack where an open ;ng offers, admit of no parallel; and when we add to thia, his admirable generalship in manoeuvring his man into situations of difficulty, of which be takes advantage, and the tremendous punishment which he then inflicts, he must be pronounced one of " the matchless." Tisdale throughout had not a chance of winning, but still his uns shrinking courage and self-possession to the last entitlehini to every praise, and, in fact, place him in the second place among men of his weight. It was truly said that he,is the beet man Dick had ever to contend with ; and from the time it took to finish him (one hour and two minutes),, it is pretty clear that Dick had quite enough to do to satisfy his milling appetite. Dick's hands are greatly injured, but his punishment, with the'exception of the taps on, his proboscis, is but trifling, when compared with that of his. antagonist. A very small subscription was made for 'Cis. dale on the ground; but he takes his benefit to-morrow, at the Tennis-court, when both he and Dick will show, and when all tke first-rate men on the pugilistic " muster roll " will be present. There is no doubt be will have a full attendance. THE BEAKS TOO LATE. Just as this battle had terminated, and a hat had been thrown up for a second fight, for a puree, a curious scene was presented. While several persons of all ranks were collected within the ropes, debating whether they should remain for the expected sport, or prudently toddle towards , home, Mr. Swabey, the Magistrate of Union-ball ; the Rev. Mr. Gressett, a Magistrate of Bucks ; two Friends, with capacious broad brims, and some constables, entered the ring. They were at first considered merely as amateurs, and in a very short time would have been called upon to contribute their mite towards the intended subscription ; but their business was soon made known ; for Mr. Swabey, seizing a gentleman connected with the Public Press by a luxuriant cloth cape or tippet, which hung over his shoul ders to protect him from the rain, declared his intentiori:te take him prisoner, a.; a person active in promoting a breach of the peace, and one whom, from the respectability of his appearance, it was fit to make an example of. In vain : did the " Knight. of the Quill" protest that he was in no way concerned in promoting a breach of the peace, and that he was a mere spectator of the, sports. The Worthy Magis trate was inexorable ; a couple of constables were called, to whose custody - he was consigned, and thus escorted, he was marched, amid the sympathies of his co-offenders, from the scene of action to the Bush Inn at Staines. . On his arrival there, Mr. Swabey, in his Magisterial capacity, proceeded to take informations against him, and the wit nesses were called to depose to his high crimes and misde meanours, while he, poor fellow, expected nothing less than being sent to the Tower as a-state criminal. To his great joy, however, the first two persons who appeared to depose to his prejudice, were the worthy Friends to whom we have already alluded ; and these " men of peace" were about to affirm to his guilt, when Mr. Swabey felt himself under the necessity of rejecting their evidence, as inadmis sible in a criminal case, unless upon oath. This was a poser ; but there was still a chance left, and the Reverend Mr. Gressett was called upon to give his evidence ; but he, unfortunately for the object of the worthy Magistrate, was as little available as the gentlemen with the broad brims —for he could only - swear to the prisoner's being on the field at the time he came up. He had not seen the pre vious ttfeach of the peace, nor could he bear testimony to any thing which was in contemplation. This was a complete " tie up," as Jack Seroggins would say ; and if any thing were wanting to increase the dilemma of Mr. Swabey, it was the declaration of the alleged ef fender, that ire• had not attended as a promoter •or abettor of the amusements of the day, but as a simple reporter for a Morning Newspaper. He was there in, . the discharge of a duty, and all he bad to do was to describe what occurred, and to leave the Magistracy or the public to judge of the fitness of such exhibitions. ". This, was a horse of another colour," and Mr. Swabey at once acknowledged that he was in error; but seeing the prisoner was one of the most respectable of the multitude by whom he was surrounded, he thought him the fif test person to select for punishment, and he had only to re gret that he had not secured some wealthy inhabitant of the county, on whom the law might take its course. An appeal was then made to the feelings of the pri soner, as to the immorality and impropriety of the icton which he had witnessed ; ,but , he declined all discus sions " under existing circumstances," although in a proper place, and in the presence of a good bottle of wine, or as many more as might be brought to assist the deliberations, he should have no objection to give his can did opinion on so grave a subject. The intended tragedy tvas thus changed to a farce—the prisoner became a free man, and once more breathed the air of liberty, while the well concerted plan of the Honourable Magistrate and his co adjutors, to strike terror into the pugnacious fraternity of Buckinghamshire was, for the want of Dick Curtis's gene ralship, completely frustrated. Whether they intend trying the experiment hereafter, remains to be proved: It is but right to add, that thee gentlemen behaved with great politeness; and they are certainly entitled to the gratitude of Curtis's backers for having postponed their interference till the fight in which they were interested was brought to a conelusion. We think it improbable they had anything on the event ; but it is clear, if they.had made their appearance half an hour sooner, that a good many serious losses would have been prevented. THE DYING MOTHER. She made a sign To bring her babe—'twas brought, and by her placed She look'd upon its face, that neither smiled Nor wept, nor, knew who gazed upon 't, and laid Her hand upon its little breast, and.sought For it, with look that welled to penetrate The heavens—unutterable blessings, such As God to dying parents only granted, For infants left behind them in the world. " God keep my child," we heard her say, and heard No more; the Angel of the Covenant , Was come, and faithful to his promise, stood Prepared to walk with her thro' death's dark vale. And now her eyes grew bright, and brighter still, Too bright for ours to look upon, suffused With many tears, and closed without a cloud. • They set as sets the morning star, which goes . . Not down behind the darken'd west, nor hides Obscured among the tempests of the sky, But melts away into the light of Heaven. (Pollok's Course of Time.) We. understand that on Tuesday morning last, the grave of a respectable person, lately deceased, at a place called the Hill Chapel, near Warrington, was found.to be violated. After stealing the body, the perpetrators of this unnatural act left the grave open, and the shroud, &c., were found lying in the coffin, the lid, of which had been burst open.--lifanrhester Courier. A Wardmote of the Inhabitants of Farling don Without was held on Monday before Alderman Waith man at St. Andrew's, Holborn, for the purpose of elect ing a person to succeed the late Mr. Reeves, as a member of the Common Council for that Ward. Mr. George Fre derick Harms, of Fleet-market, was elected unanimously as his successor. The Alderman appointed Mr. Crook, the senior Common Councilman, Deputy in place of the deceased, whom .he highly eulogized. The %Vardmote passed a resolution expressive of their respect for his me mory, and ordered it to be franied and presented to his widow by a deputation. LOVER'S LEAP. --A few weeks since, sp . :Jung gentleman of this town, being desperately enamoured of a fair young lady, resolved to pay her a visit by stealth. For this purpose he tiambered over a high gate; but instead of descending (it was dark) upon terra firma, he dropped into a water cask, and was immersed chin-deep in the edit. ling element. The good lady of the house ran into the yard to see what was the matter ; and our hero, endea vouring to get out of the cask, upset it,. and the contents came over him like a shower bath. He, however, effected his escape, though in a miserable plight. We are soxry to add, that he took a violent cold, which was succeeded b:s a rheumatic attack.

The general apathy to be, observed amongst the people when the dishonest practices of afflu ent tradesmen, who contriv e to evade the pursuits of justice, are exposed, tends very much to show that we are looking at the wrong end for im provement. An outcry is raised against the poor if they commit acts which subject them to legal condemnation. The state of public morals then becomes the theme of discussion and regret while the example from which the great vices are caught passes without comment. But it is as ridiculous to expect a pure stream to issue from .1, polluted source, as to expect that the lower orders of society can improve while the higher encourage the system by whi c h a ll soc iety is de evaded. The encouragem en t g i ven to th e frau dulent 'tradesman, to which an- article in this paper some days ago alluded, has in several in stances been withdrawn, we hope not more from , shame than any higher virtue, and a correspon- , ding degree of caution will, no doubt, be adopted by the flash tradesmen' in the purchase of goods. In many instances the fair trader has been corn- Belled to pay five per cent. to the principal ser vants of the families at the west-end of the town, in order to prevent the total loss of custom k but what has often b;:en the consequence ? He is im mediately outbid by a rival shopkeeper, who doubles the remuneration, and of course carries away the trade. The buyer is also the victim of this arrange ment, for the tradesman is obliged to raise his char a ir a submitlr s nature oa the riven i)fra ‘ .e v ere t h snao o nint l scio e s, .. char ges, in ordertobe enabled to return the compliment to -the influential domestic. It is constantly complained of by the great families, who lay them selves at the mercy of their servants, that their tradespeople are exorbitant in their charges. Is it any wonder that enormous bills are sent in,• when custom is paid for at so high a rate, and i ‘ n vh ai e la n g t e l m ie e m nt as o t f er t e h o e f ir fa dote ie st s ic who, from long impunity, consider those extort edtTil he e.dupesre e nth contributionsavebeae ninformationperquisite ignorant which ?ohf a s il t the t e e t extent of the depredations committed upon them. them has opened their eyes, and it is well known that instructions have been given to several; tradesmen not to hold any communication with the servants who have been in the -habit it giv ing, or rather selling, orders. In utany ine Stances, too, the mistresses of families hay-. suddenly taken upon themselvc' s the examina tion of their tradesmen's acmints. 'This is the only mode of correcting the evil. How often is the sleek butler able to purchase a public-house or tavern for 3,000/. or 4,0001., the produce • -, f his understanding with the shopkeeper, who • has been assisted in stripping his cus tomer of 20 per cent. at least above reasonable expectation ! The injury which arises from the abuse is so considerable to tliose who have blindly suffered it to continue, and the mischief . of permitting a fellow who brushes one's coat to run from tradesman to tradesinan,• not for a an perior article, but for a superior fee, so totally paralyzes the e ff or t s o f the fai . ; trader, that w e i have no doubt of a general adot%ion of the prin ciple by which this hideous evil can be counter- a c ted.* A great deal of terror .tias been struck' into the largehouses who have been in the habit . , of encouraging men of straw ta obtain goods . . from Manchester, by the frequent discussions which take place, even in the rresenee of their agents, on the subject of this spe..zi es of depreda tion. The feeling has not 1'.^.0 abated by a visit which has, been, paid by •I\ir. Spring Rica to some of the principal mercantile houses in the city, on the subject of a change in the general plan of security against plunder of all sorts, par ticularly that of forgery. We have proof before us, that so common is the dreadful abuse of 'which some well .known extensive tradesmen are guilty, in giving encouragement to dealers of the description alluded to, that packages of goods .the moment they arrive from Manchester are 'handed over unexamined to the former, who at once make advances upon them at a re duction of 20 or SO per cent. off the invoices from the original cost from the manufacturer. • There are several houses in the neighbourhood of Cheapside who are in the habit of transmit ting goods in the manner described. Some time . back one of the numerous fraternity of • pennyless impostors was called upon to give an account . of his losses before the Commissioners of Bankrupt at Gullelhall, and he admitted that there were deficiencies amounting to upwards of 12,000)., which had been occasioned by losses sustained up . on goods purchased of the manu facturer, and instantly sold to a house in the vicinity of Cheapside, at a reduction from the original invoices. This worthy sample of a very large, body of citizens failed for upwards of 60,0001., and not only plundered his creditors, but left his private friends in the lurch for va rious sums which he borrowed in , the hurry of business. Bankrupts' effects, too, find ready purchasers amongst the crew of bargainers, who have been known. to give •no more than 50 per • cent: under the prime cost for that description of t c swag." In all cases where the property of creditors is offered for sale by the fraudulent debtor, the purchaser or receiver takes care t o obliterate the marks. /a fact, all the qualities •of identity are removed from goods purchased under suspicious circumstances, as completely as if they had been sent to Ikey Solomons,- or any other nefarious fence. But still the system will find supporters. The very belief that goods 'have been stolen, recommends many customers. We know th e p art i cu l ars of a case where a lady of rank, in speaking to an acquaintance about the silks for sale at a certain house, concluded her recommendation by saing, " G to tha warehou se o f all places ____ ; the y h ave an o immense variety there, and (whispering) they get in all their goods at night ."--_ mss , * Not lo ng ago , a Noble Deka , who is rvaaavkable for his punctuality in paying his tradesmen, deteesed an error in his butcher's bill, in which he had been charged 31 per pound' more than ought to have been demanded. Hit Grac e immediately ordered that no wore meat shoUld be ' taken for his establishment from this tradesmen. The butcher soon rectified the matter by proving that he was obliged to nay .IA .--.. per cent. to his Grace's domestic % for the cottom ; but the arrangement was veryproperly considered a robbery, a n d there has been no more dealing in that quarter. This detection led to others. In fact, his Grac e found it necessary to dismise every tradesman he had, - for holding init premiums to his servants to plunder him. s t ill greater advantages were derived from the discovery. The Duke's s-Espicions made him use his own eyes and judgment in making purchases. On one occasion he went to a house in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket to purchase som e china, but he took ears to leave his carriage about 40 yards from Alm door, and he found, upon the most moderate estimate, that he had to pay 20 guineas lees than he wo u ld, have been charged if the coronet had been . • geen by the tradesman. As soon ai the bargain was concluded his. Grace beckoned to . his coach man , who drove up to t he ' l l p s op s , the owner of which started ba c k aghast at the deception, wi.,l;:h he considered a mast unfair one.
