The person in tss.o.ly, who represented himself
to be Capt. Inner, of the Royal Navy,

3. Rich, hostlet to \lr Casrwright, Cama,n.
place. Piccadilly, stated, that the P.isoncr hired A
brown gelding, six weeks since, in the absence of his
master. Ile -.id he iesistni is Sr. .14111 e.....-S reef ;
he nu-rely wanted to ride ten two 01 three hams,
aod. on his reruue, he would send rte tense home
b' his sr ream He, however,' never returned,
1,0, had the horse ever been Inlaid of. A persoa in
the Office, Mr. Nuns, it:formed Mr Cartwright,
OM a horse, answering the description he had ).,iver„
was •ta at his las er e•stahles, Vats II ball, an di- I 1 tri
wf Oclober, and, he believed, by the Pi ismer. He
hired a horse and chaise of Nit. N. and left tie horse
in his care until he should return, which event never
Wok place. The Prisoner said his name was Becker,
and that he resided at Gravesend. Mr. N. find-
ing the Prisoner did not .retuiti, went to r.'-iaves-
end ; and Mr. Becket proved to he a banker, who
hemmed him, that a person, answering the descrip-
tion of the Prisoner, hail forged on the Bank. Mr
N. had traveiled S or 4% miles after his horse and
chaise ; and, at length, by an advertisement, he
received a letter, staring, that the horse was at Al-
ton. Haut:, and the chaise was at Noniron, Devon ;
the Prisoner having left the horse, as he had done
at other places, and hired a fresh one. It seas
proved by another Witness, that the Prisoner had
commixed depredations in the West of firgland. by
tenresenting himseil as Mr. Pigeon, son of Mr.
Pigeon, helorgine to a distillery firm, its the
Pot oirgh. By affreting to travel on account
of this firm, he was very successful in obtain-
ing Trame;:, by swindling-bills, &c. In this part
& the conntry, he drove about in a post-chaise
and four, associated with the best company, bo-
%Wowed their hunting parties, and became the corn-
ss'.ete man of fashion. At Exeter, he drove through
the town a week before the news of the vitlory over
the Combined Fleets, as a naval officer, with dis-
patches from the fleet. The gentlemen belonging
to a Subscription house, and the leading men of the
town, desirous wf hearing the news, politely re-
quested to be informed whether it were good?
The Prisoner, who represented himself as a son of
Lord Mulgrave, assured them it was good news,
and that it was from the hero, Nelson. The gen-
tlemen were desirous of further information ; but
fearing to put a question too pointedly, they asked,
whether it equalled the business of the Nile ? The
Prisoner replied, •' The Nile is a fool to it ;"-- and
immediately drove off, having diffused joy through-
out the to xn.
It would exceed our limits to enter into further
particulars respeCting other charges equally interest-
ing. A gentleman positively proved the Prisoner
to be an impostor, in representing himself as Capt.
Innes. Ihe Pr .oner said, his name was Innes, and
he was addressed AS Captain by naval charafters. On
being questioned by the Msoiss RATES whether he
were ever in the navy, and what rank he held ? the
Prisoner replied, he was a Midshipman in the Meg. a-
mete. of 64 guns, but he had not been in the sei vice
since the last war. He was before that in the -
rive, of 52 suns. Ile was remanded till nest N\ ed-
nesday, to give cnnntry-people opportunity to attend.

The last private letter which Lord Nelson wrote
was to Lady H. and was dated about a fortnight be-
fore the memorable battle, in which he yielded his
invaluable life. flie following is an extrael from it :
.• The reception I 'net with on leonine the Meet, caused the
wvreett,t sensation of my life. the Office's who valise on
boa-il to welcome ins return, forgot my rank as Commander
endif, 111 the enthusiasm with which they greeted me. As soon
as 'hese enott.iiiis were riot, 1 la.d before them the plan I hail
rerious'y ar•angi il for attacking the enewir,•ana tt was not
4;4 Inv pleasureso And it generally approved, but dearly pan-
e. seed and uniteistood The enemy are still to port, but
something most be immediately done to proecibe or lure them
to a battle. Me duty to my country demand, it, and the
hopes centered in me, I hope in God, will lie ionised. In less
than a Patiogiii mien to hear from me, or of me:for who van
foresee the Lit of battle. Put up sour prayers for my slimes
and may trod motel all my friends."
Tuesday evening, as a drunken servant was rid-
ing his master's horse clown Drury-lane. he thought
he would make him leap over a place where the
street is dug up for the purpose of clearing the com-
mon sewers of the dirt which has been accumulating
in them for several years. The opening is about 40
or 50 feet in length, and about 10 feet deep; theta
are beams across, to prevent the bank nn either side
from falling in, but, most fortuitously, the horse an
rider went clear to the bottom, without either 'laic-
ing against the sides of the hole, or falling across
any of the poles, which would, in all probability.
have killed them on the spot. To the great simptise
of all who bad gathered round the spot, the fellow
crawled up a ladder and got into the street again,
without any apparent injury, other than the dirt that
might be expeeted from a fall in such a situation.
There was one ate-acre olio proposed, that the
horse she old be extricated ia the same way as the
min had come up, and a,flually set about snaking
the ht.r a ascend the ladder. Mr. Sati.xxv, an
apothecary, near the spot, however, very humanely
offered his al.sistance in a very d dorm' way from
that of exercising his professional skill • for, he went
down into the -hole, and stood by the side of the
horse, holding the bridle until he leaped up on a
place which is shout three feet higher than the
bottom. It was then generally supposed, thatthe
animal must he drawn up the remainder of the way,
by means of ropes ; but, of a sudden, he amazed
every one who SAW him, by giving a spring, or al-
most flying, as it might be called, up the remainder
of the way. atid•lltaitgieg,tbe gentleman after him.

E 701, OF WARRTYGTON. •
' A Meeting was held, on 1 uesilay, at FIPPMAVIIIS.
'town, ColVAt Qtteen. street, of the Commanders of
the Volunteer Cot pt, in the London Di trig, to
entendre of :4111 Address of Thanks to G-nerd the
F.arl ut Harrington, prior no his departure for lie-
md.
he Chair was to have been taken by the Duke
of Sn,l.ex but the attendance of Hit Royal Higis-
ese. Wag prevented by severe indispn.iti n.
.I'he e were present. Cal-•nels Ken.ingtnn;
wittral. Anzustits Ilankev, Jo'•n Hankey, Miles
Peter Andtews, Gaitskill, Ruhinsnn, Mellish, An-
derton, and Makir Blake, and a great number of
Commanding Officers.
The Honourable l.ieutenant•Colonel Erskine, of
the Temple Corps of Volunteers, was called to the
Chair. He extremely remelted the loss of that
able support the Meetino would have had in the
presence of His Royal Highness the Doke of Sus-
set, to whose person he professed himself sincerely
attached ; he knew nn one whose aSiliries so well
enabled him to preside At a sleeting of this kind as
His Royal Highness, the sanaion • of whose name
would have retleile I such honour on the object, with
reference to whom it had been convened.
Lieutenant-Colonel Gaitskill, of the Ist Surrey
Regiment, in an appropria►e speech, opened the bit-
sitiess of the Meeting. He observed, that it had
' been called for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the propriety of addressing General the
Earl of Harrington, in the name of all the Vo-
lunteer Comeranders, in answer to his Lordship's
circular letter, intimating to them his retirement
from the command of the Volunteers of the London
Distria, and at the same time to congratulate his
Lordship on his recent promotion in Ireland.—
II! adverted to the advantages the military ser-
vice of Ireland would derive, .by its being known
that the meritorious Officer who was to command
t!le forces of that part of the United Kingdom, had,
by his concia, urbanity, and, at the same time, stria
attention to discipline, given entire satisfaaion to up-
wards of 37,000 Volunteers in England. lie was
persuaded that this expression of the thanks and ap-
probation of the Commanding Officers, would be
considered by his Lordship as a mark of respea
highly gratifying to his feelings. The unremitting
attention which his Lordship had shewn in perfeaing
the Volunteers in the profession of arms, rendered it
the peculiar duty of their Officers to testify the high
sense they entertained of his Lordship's merits. He
concluded by moving several resolutions.
Lieutenant-Colonel John Hankey, after paying a
just tribute to the Noble Earl for his uniform atten-
tion to the Volunteers in the London Distria, se-
conded the several Resolntinnt.
The Meeting immediately dissolved.

which the Gentlemen Cadets being formed in bat-

BUTLER, the Commandant of the Insti-
tution. Their llov-• I. HIGHNESSES were pleased to
express great satisfaltion on the occasion. The
Gentlemen from the senior department attended
with their plans and drawings, which were likewise

approbation. They afterwards partook of an ele-
gant collation provided by the Goya, Pd oa.

SOUTHWARK MEETING.

Tuesday a Meeting was held at the Town Hall,
in the Borough of Southwark, pursuant to the
order of the High Bailiff, issued in consequence of
a requisition from several of the most respeElable
inhabitants in the Distrisß, in order that they might
agree upon an humble Address to His Majesty, con-
gratulating him on the most exraordinai y success
with which Providence had been pleased to bless His
Majesty's arms in the late Naval lingagements.
In consequence of the unavoidable absence of the
High Bailiff: and the indisposition of his Deputy,
Peter Broadley, Esq. was, by the unanimous voice
of the Meeting, called to the Chair.
He ripened the business by stating, in a few words,
the objeft of the inhabitants of the Borough, then
assembled together, in Common Hall ; and con-
cluded, with requesting that some Gentleman pre-
sent would propose an Address.
Two Addresses were then "loved, one by Mr.
Shaw, and the other by Mr. Alcock; butneitherbeing
approved of, a Committee of three Gentlemen was
appointed to prepare one, from the materials fur-
nished by those of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Alcock, leav-
ing out the parts objefted to. The Address was
instantly prepared, and carried unanimously. The
Gentlemen who bigned.the recoivition, Coionsir.M.
cock and Gaitskill, and two or three other Gentle-
men, were ordered to wait upon His Majesty with
the same.—The Meeting then adjourned.

and County. During the illumination, and at the
finther request of the MAYOK, the principal inha-
kkants met in the Hall, to drink His MAJeSTT'S
health on the y vyous occasion ; whilst this was going
or, the populace in the streets were not neglected ;
they were regaled with fore butts of beer, and the
whole displayed evident marks of gratitude for the
glory that bad been acquired by our brave Briti=h
tars. The military drpa: was likewise brilliantly il-
lum.uated. si .
