MR. JOHN ;MKS, JUN. AND MR. VERBEKE.

On Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock,
the neighbourhood of New Broad-street was thrown into a
state of alarm by the screams of a female, which issued
from the office of Mr. John Wilks, jun. the M.P. for Sud-
bury. A crowd of persons assembled before the premiss
to ascertain the cause. The anxiety of the crowd and the
inhabitants was set at rest by a young weman showing
herself at the window, and 2bking what was the cause of
the crowd? It appeared, however, upon further inquiry,
that an extraordinary preceeding, had taken place. Four
men h3d got possession by a ruse de guerre, and banica-
doed the house under the authority of law ; and the terror
of being thus cvertnatched had at first excited the alarm
amongst the servants, which soon subsided. It is stated
that legal proceedings have been taken by Mr. Ver.
beke, formerly a partner in the firm. Preparations of the
moat formidable nature were made to defend the preni'ses
in case any attempts were made to regain poss. six) oi
them. A communication was maintained with the nest
house, and a person was seen to hand in throug,h the win-
dow two awfully long swords, a bludgeon, and a brace of
pistols. During Sunday it was garrisoned by six able-
bodied men, and the outposts were watched by two consta-
bles, who waited in readiness in an adjoining yard, in case
of a breach of the peace. Two large boards were seen 071
the outside of the house, stating, " To let ; for particulars
and cards to view, apply to Mr. Pearson, Carpenters' Hap,
No. 61, London-wall." Three rums came during ya-
terday from Mr. WilLs, as it was understood in the neigh'
bourlio:A, to endeavour to regain possession, but they ap-
peared awed by the force in the house, and retired. rh,
public will doubtless hear further of this affair.—dre:-‘•

In consequence of the insertion of the above paragTaph
in the public prints, the following letter has becu ad-
dressed to us :

Kennington, Vit'i September, 11326.

Last week a pest-boy, in employment at the George Int',
Perth, found a stray horse and gig at a solitary place en the
toad betwixt Path and Kinross, with no person near to
take charge of them. After waiting for some time to ascer-
tain whether the owner might be near, and none appearing,
he b ought the horse and gig to Perth. The gig contained
several articles of value, besides some hundred pounds in
bank-notes, cash, and bills. The whole was deliver( d
safe to the owner, who appeared to claim them next day.
and who rewarded the honesty of the post-boy with 1k•
