It is intended subsequently to extend the Line to Armagh, there to meet the Railway from Belfast. The Line to Navan forms the Main Trunk for any of the contemplated Railways to the Western Districts of Ireland. The Public is aware that it is the object of another Company to carry a line of Railway, coastwise, between Dublin and Drogheda, to the total exclusion of the Inland Country. The line of Railway laid down by the opposing Company, adjoins some small Towns and Villages along the Coast, inhabited chiefly by Fishermen, and hav ing no existing Trade or Traffic. Balbriggan, the largest and only important Town on the line, contains a population of 3,016 inhabi tants, and has but 325 families engaged in trade, manufacture, and handicraft. The intercourse by passengers is so trifling, that but six public vehicles are employed throu g h ou t th e ent i re l i ne, and should there be hereafter any increase of traffic, this Railwa can always be successfully opposed by Water Carriage along the Eastern shore.

The Coast line of Railway is nearly four miles longer than the Inland line Coast line to Drogheda, 32 miles 220 yards. Inland line to Drogheda, 28 miles 530 yards. Estimated Expense of the Coast line, as stated by the Engineer, is ............ £600,000 0 0 Estimated Expense of the Inland line to Drog heda 455,881 7 3 There is here, therefore, an admitted excess in the outlay of 144,000/. ; also, in the annual expense of maintaining the two lines, the excess of the expense on the Coast line over the Inland line will be 10,0001. a year ; this last will be evident when the si tuation of tlic tw o lines is considered A;FRf.,,lt;e c of the Coast line, if they tau be surmounted by the skill of the Engineer, will be at an expense unexampled in the annals of Railway Engi neering. By reference to the Plan, it will be seen that great sea works are to be constructed at Clontarf for a mile and a half—an arm of the sea at Malahide for two miles, at ten foot water to be crossed on an embankment forty feet high—thirty- feet of filling at Rogerstown strand for a distance of two miles —nearly four miles of a cutting at Melverton sixty-five feet deep—a sea embankment on the shore towards Skerries, seventy feet from th e s u r f ace o f t h e beach, and exp ose d t o the whole force of the ocean—a tupnel under Thorn hill, and a second Tunnel half a mile long, to be constructed under Melverton demesne. Such works cannot be constructed at a less rate than 30,0001. a mile, if, indeed, it be possible to form a correct estimate of the expense in such an undertaking. The costs of main tenance must be equally uncertain in amount, as the action of the water on the shore may sweep away breakwaters and embankments. although constructed for the purposes of security, with the utmost skill, and with no regard to expense. An opinion may be formed of the estimation in which the two lines are held by the inhabitants and land-owners on the respective lines, by the fact, that whilst on the Inland line an unanimous opinion prevails in its favour, on the Coast line several influential land-owners are opposed to that line, and have petitioned Parlia. ment against it, and prayed to be heard by Counsel. There has not been a single petition presented against the Inland I line.

The necessary surveys of the Inland line, from Dubli n t o Drog heda and N avan , h ave b een some time made ; there is no one en gineering difficulty to be encountered. There is no Tunnel on the entire line, nor is there a single mansion-house or demesne to be interfered with ; a zealous and anxious co-operation of all the land-owners and occupiers on the entire line has been secured. Baron de Heeckeren, his Majesty's Minister to the Court of Russia, who has been here some time on leave of absence, set out yesterday to return to St. Petersburgh.

The line terminates close to Drogheda, at an elevation of one hundred feet over the river Boyne. The Terminus at Prussia-street is contiguous to Smithfield Mar ket, where all cattle are sold for the supply of the Liverpool and other English markets, but can be further extended to the waste ground at Dominick -street, or to the end of Constitution-hill, where it would form a junction with the new street now proposed to the Four Courts, and into the Southern direction of the Metropolis. The Drogheda Terminus affords great facilities for an extension to Armagh, across the plains of Ardee, there to join the Belfast and Armagh Railway. The Branch to Navan leaves the main trunk at Primatestown, sixteen and a half miles from Dublin, a little westward of the mail coach road, and terminates at the Boyne River at Navan, near the Upper Lock, at the point of junction of the Canal navigation with the River. The line to Drogheda is the most direct line that can be formed to the North, and necessarily embraces all the trade and traffic be tween Dublin and the sea-port of Drogheda, Armagh, Belfast, and all the North of Ireland, a population exceeding 850,000 people. The line to Navan embraces the entire trade of Navan, Kells, Cavan, Clones, and Enniskillen, large and populous towns, and in the centre of a peaceable and productive country, with a population of 189,000 people. The inland line for twenty-eight miles out of Dublin, would be a common trunk for any Railway to the Western and North- Westera parts of Ireland, which, in point of level and material, offers every facility to the formation of a Railway joining Lough- Erne, the second largest lake in Ireland, which contains an area of 36,923 acres, possessing a water power equivalent to the force of 35,000 horses, and the river which flows from it to the sea has a fall of one hundred and forty-nine feet, forming one of the largest and most valuable water powers existing in Ireland.

A very caref u l investigation of INCOME the . revenue to arise from the Railway has been made, and the following is the result : There are twenty-six public vehicles and six caravans, carrying fifteen passengers each, passing to and from Dublin, Drogheda, Navan, and Slane, by the inland line daily, and six public vehicles, six caravans, and two mail cars, on the coast line daily, making the number forty-six available for calculation. £ s. d, Passengers :—These conveyances are generally filled, but taking only twelve to each as the daily average, we have 552 passengers daily, or 201,480 yearly. The charge now is 7s. for an inside seat, and 4s. outside : let the Railway fares be only 4s. for the first-class carriage, 3s. for the second, and 2s. for the third, thus giving as. as the average on 552, or a sum of 821. 16s. per day, but, according to the.prin ciple that the existing number of passengers may be doubled, we have 1651. 12s. per day, or per annum 60,440 0 0 There are several public cars plying daily between the termini of the Railway and towns on the line be tween Dublin, Drogheda, and Navan, carrying pas sengers, and receiving 101. a day, which doubled, as above, 201. a day, or per annum 7,300 0 0 Posting and carriage of private carriages Transmissions of eight mails daily up an d d own, say 512 miles at sd. per mile, or 101. 13s. 4d. per diem. 3,893 6 8 Parcels on all conveyances, northward and westward 5,400 0 0 Carriage of 350 tons of goods weekly, at l Os. per ton, being less than half of the present rate charged 9,100 0 0 Agricultural Produce.—Corn, Flour, Butter, for the several markets and shipment abroad, and also Fruit, Vegetables, and Milk for the supply of the Me tropolis. This will form a most productive source,of income to the Company, say at least ... 7,000 0 0 Carriage of Cattle, Sh eep , L am b s, and Poultry for the supply of the Dublin Markets and shipment for England. The County of Meath is the greatest graz ing county in Ireland, and not only supplies the Dub lin Markets, but also, with the adjoining counties to the West, contiguous to the line of Railway, supplies the Cattle shipped at the Port of Dublin for Liverpool and Bristol ; this is expected to produce at the lowest cal culation 12,000 0 0 Carriage of Manure, Lime Revenue to arise from Warehouses, Shops, &c. at Dublin Terminus 500 0 0 £113,137 6 8 We have here a fixed sum of 113,1371. 6s Bd. per annum, mainly upon an existing trade, but the increased facility afforded by this Railway for all Agricultural and Commercial purposes to the indus trious and peaceable population of the North and North-western districts of Ireland, daily increasing in wealth and commercial pros perity, gives just. hopes that this Railway, which is looked upon to be a work of national benefit and utility, will be a source of in creasing profit to the Company, when the anticipated facilities and benefits of it will be felt throughout a population of near 2 ; 000,000 of inhabitunts.

Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have drupesentaile it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body —a residence in the t will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power.

About two years ago she became acqua i nte d w i th a young man a .the name of Richards, who paid his addresses to her, but he su..l)sequently entered his Majesty's service, and went on board ,t.`le Con ftanee steamer. This vessel put into Fahnouth about: three weeks ago, and Richards renewed his addresses, and ra mised that he would marry- her if she accompanied him to Woolwich, where he said ho was to be paid off. She was induced to consent to ,this proposition, and accordingly er.l. barked on board the steamer, taking with her the whole or her clothes, and the little money she had contrived to save while in service. On Sunday, the Ist instant, the Confi. once arrived at Woolwich, and they had scare* gone along side the Cock-yard, when her sweetheart made he.-go on shore, and desiring her to go to a public-house which he :lamed, bid her wait until he came there. She followed the Oireetion; sl:e had received, but he never came near her ; and when ,she went on board the Confiance to complain of the con duct she had experienced, Richards threatened to threw her overboard, and said that she must get back again to Falmouth as well as she could. The applicant further said that she had complained of Richards's conduct to the of ficers on board the steamer; but although they admitted the heartlessness of his behaviour, yet they could not punish him, as she had voluntarily accompanied him from Fal mouth on his promise of marrying her w their arrival at the place of destination. Since she was discarded by Richards she had taken up her abode at Woolwich, and lived by pledging her clothes ; but this resource being ex hausted, all her things except those on her back ipcing at the pawnbroker's shd has been reduced to great privations. The unfortunate applicant added, that the object of her application was to endeavour to get a passage back to Fal mouth, where she would have an opportunity of still earn ing her bread by honest means, and trusted that the Ma ;istrates would assist her with their advice as to how she vas likely to get back again to her nati ve pl ace . An elderly respectable female who accompanied the appli cant, met her that morning in the Kent-road, in a state of exhaustion, and perceiving that she was a stranger in town, addressed her on the subject of her present condition,- The applicant, whose name is E. M., detailed to her the treat ment she had met with from the man on board the stet:m vessel, and she advised her to make known the circuia stances to a Magistrate, and accompanied her to this office. The Magistrate (Mr. WEDGWOOD) said all they could do for the poor girl, under the circumstances, was to advise her to get back to her friends as speedily as possible, and that if she ascertained when a vessel was going to Fal mouth, if she called at the office, care would be taken that her passage would be paid. CORONERS' INQUEST.—Yeseeiday evening an in quest was held at the Lord Be lgrave's Head Tavern, Spur street, Leicester-square, before Mr. Higgs and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Ellen Atherton, aged 49, who was burned to death at her residence, No. 3, Sidney's alley, Leicester-square, on Tuesday evening last. Mr. Ar thorpe, surgeon, of No. 3, Princes -street, Leicester-square, about half-past eight o'clock on the previous evening was fetched by Mr. Atherton, jun., and on arriving at, the house he found it enveloped in smoke. Mr. Atherton, who was suffering from extreme agitation, said that his unfortunate parent was in the drawing-room when the catastrophe hap pened. Witness proceeded there and found the remains of the unfortunate lady on the floor. Her apparel was burnt to a cinder, and her person frightfully burnt. Life was quite ex tinct. Mr. Thomas Atherton, son of the deceesed, saw his lamented parent last alive about half-past six o'clock., when she was sitting opposite a fire in the drawing-room. &en after wards witness heard his sister scream out, and was then ap prised that the drawing-room was on fire. On going up stairs he found his mother in the situation already described. His mother was troubled with a cough and asthma, and was irr the habit of sitting at the fire.—The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. YACHT CLUB.—FRITH OF FORTH.—We have great pleasure in announcing that the King has been_ graciously pleased to intimate, through his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, K. G., the Commodore, the intention of his Majesty to become Patron to the Yacht Club recently established in the Frith of Forth, and it will therefore be named the " Royal Forth Yacht Club." Now that our magnificent estuary will speedily be enabled to boast of acquatic meetings on her waters, simi lar to those annually established in so many parts of the United Kingdom, it is trusted that the public will support the spirited exertions of its members, and enable them to muster a splendid fleet of yachts to compete for prizes, when the time is fixed, which will be at the general meeting on Monday the IJth of May, on which day also the first annual dinner of the Club will take place, at the British Hotel, Queen-street. —Edinburgh Paper. A short time since a considerable quantity of spirits of brandy, 52 over proof, with 111 bales of leaf tobacco, were captured from the smugglers by the Sherringham Coast guard, and deposited in the warehouse of the Custom-house. The smugglers, however, opened a portion of the roof, and succeeded in carrying off a great portion of the tobacco.— NortaTh Paper.

The dock had to he enlarged to contain them, as had the benches allotted to the Counsel. The table was covered with stolen articles of every description, among which was a great quantity of plate. The number of wit nesses summoned is 375, and the pleaders are 20. Among the prisoners there are 14 females. The proceedings are ex pected to occupy nearly the whole month. The indictment fills 112 folio pages of very close writing. The wife of one of the first merchants of Paris having twice made an attempt. on her life, was sent by her nusband to a private asylum for luneties. After remaining several months, the doctors pronounced her perfectly cured, and she returned to her family. On Sunday her relations and friends were invited to a dinner to celebeate her recovery. She took her place at the table, and did the: honours with grace and propriety. On the company retiring to the draw ing-room, she staid behind, but joined them a minute after wards in a state of violent excitement, declaring, with a tre, mulous voice, that, in orderto fulfil a prediction made to her, she had drank a quantity of liquor, and was dying. She then sank senseless on an arm chair, and, though every re medy was applied, expired in the course of the night. On ex emitting the dining-room, it was found that she had swallowed nearly an entire bottle of brandy. A fire more calamitous and distressing in its at tendant circumstances than any that has for a long period oc curred here, broke out yesterday (Tuesday) morning, in Cos-lick-street, St. Thomas, Exeter. About half-past eight o'clock in the morning it was discovered that the kitchen chimney of Mr. Charles Tuckett, who has lately taken pos session of a beer house and balse-house there, was on fire. Ad joining this beer and bake-house on the west, or in the direc tion towards the church, were many small houses filling up the space between that and a lane which runs south from Cowick street, and communicates with the church-fields; these houses were entirely covered with thatch, while Tackett's is nearly a new house, with a brick front and covered with slate. About nine o'clock smoke was discovered issuing from the thatch of those houses that ran parallel with Tuckett's and fronted the street. Unfortunately the wind blew strong from the north, and the whole mass from the front of the street to the church - fields, consisting of sixteen small houses, besides out-houses and appendages to the several premises, as also part of the back premises of Tuckett, became like the glowing oven, and, spite of all efforts, are entirely destroyed. The distress of the inhabitants—and they were all poor—was great beyond de scription, the rapid spreading of the flames giving no tin.e for tl c ',reservation of their little property, while what was snatch «l from the flames is in a broken and damaged state. But now cornea the most heart-rending part of the tale. Among the inhabitants of these houses were a widow woman of the name of Elizabeth Western, about 50 years of age, with fo - ur children, two of them living with her, and one of these a c pc!c ; cad a person cf the name of Townsend, between 40 and 50 years of age, the wife of a joiner, vim had also children, same of whom are young. The first of these had got her ch:biren out of the house, and saved portions of her furniture ; but naturally anxious still to preserve more from the wreck, site returned once too often into the burning pile, and perished in the flames. The woman Townsend, it is said, had carried 11,2 r huslnnd'a breakfast, and was just returned as this calamity occurred. She, also, anxious to rescue as mach as poisible of their whole worldly stock, ventured too often into the burning bu !ding, and likewise MI a prey to the flames. The houses were the property of a mart cif the name of Jacob Wright, and, it is said, insured in the West of England Fire-office. It is hoped, howev er , that the destrucJon thus occasioned in open day, in the midst of a largo populatteit, and with some of the most powerful and effective fire-engines in England, will lead those in authority seriously to see it titer,: be no method of causing the entire removal of thatch.—Extter Piling Post..

This was an action to recover a sum of 50/., being the amount of deposit paid under an agreement for the pur chase of a public-house. For the plaintiff it was contended that the agreement had been in fact rescinded, and that the plaintiff was, therefore, entitled to recover ; while, for the defendant, it was urged that nothing which had passed be tween the parties could have the effect of putting an cud to the agreement, so that the plaintiff had no title to main tain this action.—The Jury returned a verdict for the FREEMAN V. ROBERTS AND OTHERS. This was an action brought on Saturday last against the defendants as Directors of the South Metropolitan Gas Light and Coke Company, to recover the sum of 1,0001., being the amount of a Bill of Exchange, dated the '29th January, 1834, drawn by William Clare, one of the de fendants, uron the defendants E. M. Roberts, G. H. Fos ter, James Foster, Frederick Blacksley; and Co., Directors of the South Metropolitan Gas Light and Coke Company, and accepted by the defendant E. M. Roberts for himself and Directors. The defendants G. H. Foster, James Fos ter, F. Blacksley, William Baker, and William Lyall, had pleaded that the defendant, E. M. Roberts, had no autho rity to accept bills for the . Directors of the Company ; and that the plaintiff had not given any valuable consideration ' for the bill. Upon both which facts isoue had been joined. The cause was to have been tried in Warwickshire, but it had been agreed between the parties that the venue should be changed to London, and a verdict found for the de fendants ; and that the bill upon which the action was brought should be cancelled ; the defendants, G. H. Fos ter, James Foster, Frederick Blacksley, William Baker, and William Lyall, agreeing to pay their own costs of the action. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS appeared for the plaintiff, and consented to a verdict being found for the defendants upon these terms. Mr. ARCHBOLD, on behalf of the -defendants, G. H. Foster, James Foster, Frederick Blacksley, William Lyall, and William Baker, stated that the Directors of the Com pany, to avoid the expense and trouble attending the trial of the cause in Warwickshire, had agreed to the terms proposed. A verdict was accordingly returned for the defendants, BAIL COURT. WHALLEY V. PEPPER AND HARDING. Mr. ALLEN, on the part of Mr. William Whalley, an attorney of this Court, moved to show cause why the rule for judgment in this cause, as in the case of a nonsuit, should not be set aside with costs, and why the defendants should not take short notice of trial for the sittings after next Trinity Term, and why they should not pay the costs ' incidental to this cause, not being tried pursuant to the pe remptory undertaking given to the plaintiff, and why they should not pay the costs of the present application. The Learned Counsel moved, under somewhat novel and extraordinary circumstances. He said the judgment which had been given was obtained by a trick and in bad faith. The plaintiff had brought an action against the defendants, which was set down for trial on the 16th of April ; his witnesses, who had been brought from Stafford at a great expense, arrived in town on the preceding day, and on the morning of the 16th, as the plaintiff was passinr , down Chancery-lane, he met two gentlemen, with whom he was in conversation, when he saw the managing clerk of Mr. Alexander Wilson, the defendant's attorney, to whom he expressed his intention of trying the cause, to which the latter said—" Oh, you mean to try the cause do you—l rather doubt it," and then walked on. The deponent, Mr. Whalley, was on his way to Westminster, in order to be pre sent at the trial, when, as he was passing by Selby's door (the sheriff's officer) two of his assistants presented them selves, and asked deponent whether his name was Whalley. On deponent replying in the affirmative, Whitcomb, one of the men, said—" I have a writ against you, at the suit of Mr. Pepper, for 1,069!." He (deponent) insisted upon their taking him before the Court or a Judge at chambers, telling them that he was privileged from arrest, being an attorney, but they refused to comply with his request, and took him to Selby's lock-up-house. He was in consequence kept in custody five days, and was then compelled, in order to regain his liberty, to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. In the interim, and during the imprisonment of Mr. Whalley, an application was made for judgment, as in case of a non suit, which was signed, and the object of the present motion was to set aside that judgment. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—You may take a rule nisi. COMMON PLEA S.-( WEDNESDAY.) LORD W. PAGET V. STOKELY. This was an action brought to recover a sum of 1501., for money advanced by the plaintiff for the defendant in Brussels. The defendant was arrested in London in No vember last, since which he has been imprisoned. The money was advanced for the 'relief of some property of a lady of quality through the agency of the defendant. • His Lordship submitted to a nonsuit, and sent a discharge o the Sheriff for the release of the defendant. CONSTABLE AND ANOTHEB. V. TUFNELL. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, as executors of a gentleman, named Robinson, to recover a sum of seven hundred pounds. _ This action was brought to recover the amount of a ba lance due on a bond for 7001. The bond was passed for L'2001., MO/. of which had been subsequently paid. The bond was put in and proved, and that was the plaintiff's case. Verdict for the plaintiff-7001. and interest. EXCHEQUE R.-WEDNESDAY. FORBES V. CRONE. • This was an action of trover for the conversion and de tention by defendant of a doeble-barrelled gun, with per cursion lock, the property of plaintiff. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty ; secondly, leave and license ; and, thirdly, that the gun was not the pro perty of the plaintiff; upon all which issue was taken. Mr. Humraliv and Mr. BUTT conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. PLATT the defendant's. , In January last, the plaintiff, who is the master of a brig trading to Dundee, brought the gun in question to the shop of the defendant, an ironmonger, in Ramsgate, for the pur pose of being repaired. On the day following he came for the gun, accompanied by a Captain Pattinger, and paid for the repairs ; but a dog which followed him from on board the vessel having jumped through and broke a large pane of plate glass in the shop, the defendant kept the gun .for the damage. kcarver and gilder was seat for by desire of the plaintiff, who, having measured the window, esti ma t e d the damage at 2/. ss. The plaintiff, not having so much money about him, allowed the gun, as it appeared, to re main as a security for the money. He afterwards directed his attorney to make a demand of the gun, and tender ten shillings, which was refused, when a summons was taken out against him before the Magistrate, at the Townhall, who dismissed the complaint as not being competent to entertain it. The present action was then brought. The Jury fOund for the defendant on the first and second issue, and for the plaintiff on the third. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Mr. L. P. Goldsmid, the comedian, lately residing in Park-Place, Regent's Park, applied on his petition to be discharged from the Fleet Prison. An opposition had been entered against him, but the creditor did not apoear. The schedule tiled by Mr. Goldsmid for public inspec tion exhibited debts amounting to 8461., and no credits. He had received no consideration for 566/., having renewed va rious debts incurred before his last bankruptcy. He bad been. twice declared a bankrapt, in 1831, and in May last, and had obtained his certificates on both occasions. He had been discharged as an insolvent debtor in 1827. The pre sent insolvency was ascribed to having given Bills of Ex change to renew debts contracted pr ev i ous to hi s bank ruptcy in May, 1835, on . which bill s b e h a d b een arrested times, and had paid heavy expenses for officers' fees SCVC and costs. In answer to the interrogatories of the Learted Chief Commissioner, Mr. Goldsmid had been foolish enough to renew debts. He hoped, at the time, to have received a large sum of money, and to have commenced his business as a bill broker ; but having been disappointed, he took to the stage. He was declared entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered to be discharged forthwith. lie was discharged accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL.

Whitehead, dyer, Stratford 1 1 A serious collision took place last Tuesday evening at Dundalk, between some soldiers of , the 14th Light Dra goons and the local police of the town. A cornet with a piquet came out, and they are also implicated. A stipendiary Ma gistrate and a staff officer have been sent to investigate this affair. MODESTY AND INDEPENDENCE.--Spec imens of liese rather rare, if not extinct, qualities of mind may, we :pink, be found in two advertisements which were inserted .ast Saturday in two Morning Papers. On the Christian principle of exalting him who humbleth himself, precedence shall be given to the modest man's advertisement. He ad dresses himself to authors, &e., and thus unpretendingly publishes his high qualifications :—" A superior Classic, whose ' fresh, vigorous, and glowing,' terse, logical, and eloquent style' has been warmly extolled, possessing a sound, comprehensive, and critical knowledge of English and French literature, who can produce upwards of three dozen highly encomiastic review's of his latest works, all emanating from the pens of individuals, unbought, unbiassed, and who remain totally unknown to him ; which production (what production ?) elicited truly kind and flattering testimonials from several of the most distinguished literati in England, proffers his ser vices to revise manuscripts, and pronounce upon the auspices of performances previous to their publication, for a very mo derate remuneration." Now comes the Toady's turn. We will warrant that his pretensions and qualifications are excel lent. The advertisement in itself gives evidence and proof palpable and positive of fitness for the situation. Read it : To independent Gentlemen.—The advertiser, a respectable, modest, young man (well brought up), wants a living without a master—that is, he wishes to become a companion to some country gentleman, and be his factotum. He can ride, shoot, sing, fish, (but never better than his patron without lie is wanted), keeps accounts, and twenty other things equally necessary in this life; is of a cheerful disposition, will see that servants do their duty, and make it his whole study to please and be pleased." On Friday night last, between seven and e i g ht o'clock, as Mr. Wellum, of No. 6, White Hart-street, was crossing the fields adjoining Kennington Common, he was stopped by four men, and robbed, of four ten-pound Bank of England notes. He describes one of the men as very stout, about five feet eight inches high, dressed in a velveteen shoot ing jacket, and a pack on his back ; another about five feet six inches high, stout made, dressed in a dark surtout coat ; and the other two were dressed in fustian jackets, very stout, and one of very dark complexion. r.
