FLASH PUBLIC- HOLISES. , —AS the period for licensing will shortly arrive, it is howed the Magistrates of the metropolis and its vicinity will pay particular attention to the suppression of these dangerous and infamous receptacles for plunderers of every description. A cavern of considerable extent has been dis covered at Spaxton, near Bridgewater, and was last week visited by several respectable and scien tific persons of that town. Some difficulty Was experienced in making their way through the narrow defiles leading to the principal chamber, but on arriving at it, they were agreeably com pensated by the effect produced from their lights on the pendulous incrustations of carbonate of lime, which embossed its roof and sides. Some specimens were brought away, but the owner of the spot has properly determined to preserve it in its [present state, as a, pleasing object of cu riosity. ORIGINAL POETRY.

The stock weavers at Leicester have . given notice in a public advert:se mem, that they " now egrn wages that will enable them, by honest industry, to . maintain themselves and fautiiics, without having recurrence to the assistance of parochial relief." • NORFOLK.—It is With the greatest pleasure we learn that our manufa , :turets are a ,, ain actively employed ; indeed so great is the demand for boutbazeens, &c. that the old looms, which have long laid . 14 as useless, have been all within [liese few weeks put in requisition, and we understand that many new ones are making. LEEDS.—We cannot say to what extent sales of real American floor may be effected in this quar ter, but this we do know, teat there is a great demand in Leeds for empty American flour casks, Which are filled with British flour, and re-sold as American.—(Leeds Intelligencer.) liuLt, —Harvest commenced at Sunk Island on Wednesday sennight with a very favourable pros pect. , We are inforined that barley has also been cut near Iledon, and that in several parts of this neighbourhood the same operationsare going for ward. The late heavy rains have not had the usual effect of laying the corn, the stalk is so strong. An old farmer recommends " Wheat to be cut this season rather before it is quite ripe; tying it up as the reapers proceed, in single bands, employ ing persons to set it up, and constantly keeping it on its legs, till it may be thrashed clean font the husk ; otherwise much of the finest plump corn must inevitably be lost in the field.". THE WOUNDED ROBBER.—The Magistrates of Worship-street having taken the depositions of Mr. Hurry, and also the depositions of Atfield, the officer, who could speak to the identity of the man who was shot in attempting to rots Thurlow House, Hackney‘road, they issued a commitment for his removal from the London Hospital to the Infirmary at the House of Correction, Cold Bath Fields, William Atfield and Thomas Garter were in attendance at the Hospital, till they obtained a certificate from Sir William Blizard, Mr. Jerkin= son, and Mr. Andrews, Physicians belonging to the Institution, for his safe removal, to be given Under the care of Mr. Webb, the Surgeon belong ing to the Prison, to keep him in safe cust..dy. About five o'clock yesterday morning, according to directions, he was removed in a cart provided for the purpose, which was upon springs, and he was conveyed 'round Hackney-road, in order to prevent the jolting of . the stones, and was safely lodged in prison. The ball is not yet extracted, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. It may be proper to state, that Mr. H. as well as the Ma gistrates, had taken particular care that proper at tention should be paid to him. FEMALE IMPOSTOR.--A new system of fraud has been practised with much success within the last , week or two, by a genteel dressed female, who pretends to be an upper domestic in some Noble man's family which best suits her purposes. The last case which has been reported to the Police will develope the nature of the fraud, and put tradespeople upon their guard. The swindler called upon Mrs. Austin, a milliner and dealer in straw bonnets, in Red Lion-passage, Red Lion square, on T4esday last, and looked at some bon nets and other 'articles. She picked out three bonnets, a parasol, and some stockings, amount ing to between three and four pounds. She de sired. Mt-s. Austin to let the servant accompany , her to the Duchess of Roxburgh's, in Portman square, ivhere she was upper servant in the still• room. She said the articles were for herself and other servants. When the shopwoman arrived at the Duchess of Roxburgh's, the swit.dlee took the things dawn the area with as much confidence as though she was a servant, and desired the shop woman to wait, as the housekeeper was an ill tempered creature, and was sometimes offended at strangers coining there. The girl waited, and the woman soon returned with two muslin dresses in her hand, stating,,tbat the ladies' maid had taken it into her head that she would not wear the new gowns until they had been . washed. Having di verted the attention of the girl with the gown story, she said two of the.bonnets would do, but the person who was to have the third was then busy, and she desired the girl to look in again in the evening with more stockings, and she shOuld have her money. The swindler said she was go ing part of her way home, to order garden stuff, and to leave the gowns to be washed , . In- the evening the girl returned, and found she had been defrauded. it turned out that the swindler had It ft the dresses there the same morning, which. she had obtained, no doubt, by similar means. When she left the bonnets, &c. and took away the dresses, she begged to leave the former whilst she stepped over to Lord Howick's, to shew them to the ladies' maid. Instead of going to Lord Howlett's, she went for the garden stuff with Mrs. Austin's shop-woman, and having got- saFely rirl of her, she returned for the bonnets. Mrs. Aisle, in Ormond-street, was defrauded by the same wo man on the preceding day, of a quantity of milli nery, &c. and her depredations seem to have be e n vary ocnsiderable. In Mr. SIVEWRIGHT'S late Contract, a larger Sum Total of Prize-Money was put into circula tion than in any Contract for many years past, and it is computed that not less ,than 2,000 per sons have been benefited by vari ous Prizes, from the sum of 2001. tip to 20,0001. Sterling ! White a gratifying reflection for Mr. StviiwßifisT ! and what a convincing refutation of the objec tions which some have entertained against Lot teries ! In that which is to he drawn the 10th of Next Month, although there are only 2,900 Num bers, yet there are Two Prizes of 20,0001. and the enormous sum of 40,000/. Sterling Money may be gained by purchasing Two Tickets of dig same Number. No Small Lottery aver presented such a chance, and the Price of Tickets contines moderate, the present Contractor having liber a'ly followed Mr, SIVBITRIOUT'S example.
