MANSION-HOUSE.—SOSPECTZD Arrassrr To S WIN-
DLL—The Lord Mayor said he had received letters from
persons, who complained of attempts made to defraud them
of money, and who thought that as, in all probability, at-
tempts of the kind exhibited a regular system of fraud upon
the public, the exposure of it in the press, the only remedial
application with the efficiency of which he was acquainted,
would be at the present moment of ccesiderable advantage.
His lordship referred to the following esnespondence :

writer was directed to call, everything lookad very auspicious
and shabby, and after some delay the writer was ushered
into the preseece of a person whom he eseeidered to be

The Lord Mayor said there weld he .o doubt aa to the
object of the advertiser in the sem dueribed, and that the
police should have notice to pay alleatkie to the movements
of the parties.
NOVEL MODE or SWINDLINO.-4 gentleman waited
upon his lordship and stated that be had been just hum-
bugged in as extremely clever manner, and that the practice
from which he wee suffering was becoming, as he was given
to understand, very general. A Pole called on him end ex-
hibited a quantity of watches, chains, seals, and other arti-
cles of jewellery, and solicited him to become a purchaser.
The foreigner said that he war the agent of • very extensive
company, to whom the immediate payment of the amount of
any articles was no object, and who would be satiated to
receive it at the rate of a trifle per week or month, as wu moat
suitable to the convenience of the customers. Under these
circumstances a watch was left with the applicant which was
worth ho more than 41., or, at most, 41. 101., and the Pole
departed gratified at the sale. No more was beard about
him until about three weeks subsequently, when the pur-
chaser was utonished at receiving a London lawyer's letter
for the sum of 12 guineas, and immediately afterwards the
copy of a writ.—The Lord Mayor said, the plan just de-
earthed could only be defeated, he believed, of public expo-
sure; and he took that opportunity, at the conclusion of his
mayoralty, to state that the powerful assistance he bad re-
ceived, all through his year of office, from the press, had
enabled him to break down the machination of innumer-
able scoundrels, and other rogues of larger growth.
WORSHIP-ST RS ET .—InioRSE-ISTKALINO H. Moss and
W. Brookes, described as horudealers, were charged upon
suspicion of having stolen a horse valued at 30 guineas, the
property of Mr. W. flutes, a cab-owner—On Friday after-
noon, the prosecutor discovered that hie horse, which he had
left safe is the morning, had been stolen, and was in-
formed by a woman living in an adjoining house that she
maw a short man enter the stable about two o'clock, and bring
out the horse. Information was given to the polies, and
Sergeant Brannan succeeded next morning in tracing the
animal to the posse lion of a cab-proprietor named Green,
who stated at he had purchased it from the prisoner
Bream in Smithfield-market for 61. 10s, about half-an-hour
SAN the time at which it mast have been stolen. The pri-
mmer Brookes, who wee then in his eorzszey, ecedrased this
