from London to Liverpool. received intelligence,
within ten miles of that town, of a man midi), an-
swering the description of Daniels, whom they
traced to the Liverpool Arms. The account which
they there received of him confirmed them in the
opinion that they were in the right track. They
sere told the stranger had arrived from London,
appeared very flush of money, and had changed
his clothes far a new suit purchased there ; that
after dinner he sent for the Captain of a vessel,
with whom he hod a good deal of couvereation. re-
lative to a passage on board his vessel. They then
made inquiry after the Captain, and having found
out his place of resort at Liverpool, there learaed
that the stranger and the Captain had set out post for
Lancaster. To Lancaster they accord inglyproceed-
ed, and overtook the Captain and the Stranger, hut,
to their great disappointment, discovered that the
latter was not Daniels, and that they bad been upon
a wrong scent. They accordingly traced back their
steps to Liverpool, and there got a clue to him.
through the medium of the Newspaper, as above
stated. Upon their return the second time to Li-
verpool, with Daniels' in custody, they could not
procure seats in the snail coach. It became a ques-
tion how they should proceed, as Daniels requested
the indulgence of accompanying them, and tikat they
would not :eave him in a prism behind. Mr. Rivett

A publican named Walpole, who lives in Dark-
house-lane, and is one of those persons who are
called Crimps, yesterday attended on summons be-
fore the Lotto Mayas, td lamer to the complaints
of two seamen, whose trunks he had in his posses-

were paid. '•• .•

East India Company, first stateii, that the Defend...,

boat. There was another person its the boat. who!
seemed to be the owner of it, who agreed to take
him and his hag up to London for a shilling. He
• was accordingly landed at Limehouse t and when
Ise ivas coming on snore, he paid the man a shit.
Ityagi.itt.id was told by him that his bar would be
dtpositc.l safely at the Green Man, in Darkhoirse-
lane, which was the house of the Defendant. When
he called there the nest day, he asked for his hag ;
but the pelendatat refused to restore it to him. on.
Its. he-paid him half•a-guinea for the carriage of
it. This lie refitted to do, and therefore applied to
the Loan MAYOR.
The Defendant being asked what he had to say
in :tamer to this charge ? stated, that he had hired
two boa.. at two guineas per day, for the purpose
of bringing up seamen from the loriia iliips, and
that not having entered into any agreement with
Ifofoell, he thought half-a-guinea was a very mo-
derate charge for his passage, and for his eating and
dri4king on board.
Holnell, being then interrogated, positively de-
itied having ate or drank any thing all the time he
was on. bond ; and the LORD Mayo; being in-
formed•that one shilling was the usual tare from
Gravesend, ordered the Defendant to give up the
bag instantly, on being paid one stilling.
Timothy Mahony, a seaman, who bad lost his
sight in the service of the East India Company] then
appeased, to complain of the same Defendant, foe
demanding two guineas for hie assage from Long-
reach, and for the carnage of his' trunks. His story
wits similar to that told by the former araman, with
this difference, that the poor man being blind, part
of his property, which lie delivered into the care of
the Defendant, could not be found. He also said,
that he had offered to pay ;he Defendant a guinea,
and to be at the loss of the things that were missing,
ifile•Fnald give up the trunks ; but he positively re-
fused to give ;bens up for less than two guineas.

THE CALEDONIAN CANAL.
—...0
Elm& from the Third Report of tke Commissioners fa
making and maintaining an Inland Navigation, commonly
called the Caledonian Canal, from the Eastern to the
Western Sea, by Inverness Intl Fort W.lliant, is Scotland
In our last Report, we began our description at
the east end of the Canal, where the works are in
the most advanced state, and we shall now follow
the same course.
The Quarry, at Redcastle, Continues to produce
plenty of free-stone of excellent quality, though
with some occasional interruption front the flatness of
the shore, and the small rise of the tide, which de-
lays, and sometimes prevents. the loaded stone-ves-
sels f.mn sailing. This difficuly is intended to be
remedied either by extending the Pier further into
Loch-Beauly, or by cutting to the side of it a deeper
channel from the tide-way.
The Rubble-stone 9uarry, at Clachnacarry, im-
proves in quality, and is worked at less expence than
formerly. It is connected with the second Lock by
a rail-way, which extends also to the proposed site
of the Sea-Lock.
The Sea-bank which is in preparation to inclose
a space foe building this Lock, has been extended
into the Sea two hundred and forty yards, or two-
thirds of its necessary length. from high-wuter
mark, and betides the rail-way from the Quarry, is
now furnished with another rail-way, which, pass-
ing under the road, from Beauty to "nverness, is
to convey earth from the base of the adjacent bill,
for completing the Sea-bank.
The Lock at Clachnacarry, or Second Lock, with
its wing walls, and bead and tail platforms, is
nearly finished, the side walls being already twenty
feet above the lowest part of the inverted arch
which forms the bottom of the Lock. Ten feet and
a half of lighter masonry will raise these walls to
the requisite height; and we have the concurring
testimony of persons who have examined this Lock,
'lt ,e tis composed of the most substantial and well-
Inland masonry. It is said, indeed, that in the
anxiety of the eentraeors to render it perfeel, more
labour than was absolu ely necessary has been be-
stowed upon it, and that some diminution of ex-
pence may he expeeted in the rest of the locks.
As the cost of lock-building forms the heaviest
article in Mr. Jesse p's estimate of the expence of
Making the canal, we alirefted Mr. Telford to insti-
tute a minute investigation of the amount of the ex-
pence of building this lock, which is sufficiently ad-
vanced for that puvose : and we have had the sa-
tisfa&ion to re i•ire trom him the most confident as.
'oranges. that the amount will not exceed the esti.
mated cost al: ,wed for each lock; and that there is
good reason to tape& that the other lochs, particu-
larly those four next to be constroAed at Muirtown,
will be executed under the estimated espence.
To the intended site of these looks, being above
eleven hundred yards distant from the second lock,
which has been described as nearly finished, an iron
rail-way is already laid for the conveyance of stone
from the two quarries, and other materials from the
*flit Clachnacarry, and these locks will be speedily
commenced.
During the winter. a considerable progress has
been made in excavating the basoa which extends
from Clachnacrry to these locks ; half of it has been
sunk to the intended depth, and part of the bank on
the Wrst-side has been completed.
At Muirtown. part of the line of canal is in a
finished state, bitt the banks in the low greeted at
Kinmylies, remain to be formed with the earth
which is hereafter to be conveyed from the deep
cutting in the lands of Bught, by means of a rail-
way, tor which preparations are made.
In our account of the purchase of Land at Holm,.
We have had occasion to mention that the coarse of
the River New has been altered. This has been ef-
freed by throwing up an embankment of above a
thousand yards in length, and twelve feet in height
above the line of ordinary low water in the river ; an
important work, and executed with great rapidity
by the exertions of above two hundred labourers.
The embankment ' will be completed with earth
taken from the opposite side of the Canal, where it
eacroaches a little upon the base of the hill of Tor-
'eine; thus widening the old bed of the River, which
Is sow become part of the Canal.
From this embankment, to the bleachfield at Do-
nanchray, the canal is completed ; but from thence
to Lich-Ness no work has been commenced.
At Fort Augustus, where the River Dial falls in-
to Loch-Ness, a new channel is cutting on tke north
side of the present River. As this channel is cot in
the rock, it would be very expensive, if the rubble.
state procured from it were not to be applied in
building the four locks at this plate.
A store -hoes*, carpenter's work-shop, and huts
Ste dta worilosen, have been built there.

latell steam-engine) is now on the spot, and it will

lc '

to receive it.
No work has been CrlMlllt.- -.., from the west end
of Loch-Oich to the east end of Loch-Lochie, nor
indeed within a mile of the west end of that Loch.
It westld be injudicious to bestow labour here, or
indeed elsewhere at a distance from the shore, until
the entrances from the Sea are perfected, when the
easier conveyance of materials will facilitate the in-
land works. At West-Noy, half a mile of the ca-
nal is finished, the banks being already levelled, and
the back drains formed. Near the River Loy a
quarry has been opened, and the foundation of the
western abutment of an aquedult is laid. This
aquedud, which is to carry the canal over the River
Loy, is to consist of a centre arch of twenty-five
feet in diameter, and of two side arches of ten feet
wide each. The reason for this distributing of aper-
ture is, that in the ordinary state of the river, the
centre arch will amply sußice for the whole stream
of water, and the side arches will be passages for
the use of the farms of Strone and Sera), which
occupy opposite sides of the River Loy, and which,
without this accommodation, would have required
each a bridge over the canal. for communication
with their lands on each side of it. Extraordinary
floods, which may be expelled to fill all the arches,
continue only for a few hours at a time, and are
Itherefore not apprehended as likely to cease incon-
venience to these farms.
Eastward from the River Ley. a emaU portion of

.

canal-cutting is commenced, in order that a suffi-
cient number of men may be at hand to give assist-
ance, occasionally, if t equired, in the progress of
building the Aqueduct.
On the bank of the River Lochie, near S'rene, a
timber-yard is inclosed, and carpenter's work
shop, and a saw-mill have been erea::cl ; the saw
mill i, worked by a stream diverted from the River
Loy. •
At Muirshearlich, the cutting of half a mile of the
canal is commenced, and part thereof is sunk to
the bottom level : the rest is deep cutting, and is
proceediug with slower effea. To the east of this
work preparation is made for the foundation of an
aquedua, consisting of one arch aiae feet wide.
When this aquedua is finished, and the canal car-
ried over it, enough water to float boats may be let
into the canal, whereby the earth from the deep
cutting at Muirshearlich may be conveyed to Strone,
where it is wanted to form the banks on compara-
tively low ground. This is the easiest mode of
removing the earth from the bottom of the deep-
cutting, and will prevent the necessity of taking
earth from the arable lands at Strone.
At Bitinavie, the aquedua mentioned in our
last report is finished. It consists of two arches
nine feet wide, and ten feet high : through these
arches and passages under the canal and its banks
is na less than two hundred and fifty-two feet in
length. Listward of the aqa :dud five hundred
yards of canal, through deep-cutting, are com-
pleted.
The grand chain of eight locks above Corpach-
Moss, is nut yet begun to be executed : but the ca-
nal has been carried along the edge of the Moss, and
a mile of it is almost finished.
Near the entrance-hason, the side-walls of the
third lock have been built to the height of twelve
feet above the bottom, which is rock ; the fore-bay
is completed, as is also the tail-bay, forming, in this
case, the fore-bay of the second lock. The masonry
already performed is well executed ; the mortar,
which is made of the lime-stone from the Isle of
Lismore, has now been fairly tried, by being ex-
posed to the tide during the winter, and proves an
excellent water cement. These locks being founded
on solid rock, have required no inverted arch at the
bottom, and will be completed for less than the esti-
mated expense.
The bank, which is to enclose the north side of
the sea-lock at Corpach entrance, has been carried
forwards from high water mark a hundred and forty
yards; and two rail-ways, of eight hundred and five
hundred yards long respeaivery, are laid for con-
veying gravel to this sea-lock, and to the second and
third locks,
The steam-engine, of twenty-horse power, Men-
tioned in our last Report, has been fitted up at Cor-
pach, in an engine-house ereaed there for that pur-
pdse. It has been tried, and performs well. The
other engines, of thirty-six-horse po..ver and six-
horse power respeaively, remain in the storehouse
at Clachnacarry, the foundation of the second lock
there having proved so completely water-tight,
that there was no occasion for ereaing any steam-
engine.
A comparison of the present state of the works,
with that described in our last Report, affords a sa-
tisfattory view of the progress which has been made,
and which is chiefly to be ascribed to the exemplary
diligence and activity of the resident Superintend-
ents, and the several Contradlors, who undertake
the different works.
TIT. ACCOUNTS.
Our funds have proved sufficient for the expendi-
ture of the year upon the scale originally intended
for the execution of the work : and a further grant
of fifty thousand pounds, for the expenditure of next
year, has been voted to us.
It appears from our general account of all mo-
nies received or disbursed by us, " for, or upon ac-
count of, or relative to this undertaking," that in
all, upwards of ninety-nine thousand pounds have
been expended, of which almost fifty-three thousand
pounds have been disbursed since the date of our
last report.

Last ?night, about eight o'clock, a battle was
fought between two mea, in Adam-street, Adel-
phi. The combatants were a little man and a big
man. After five or six rounds of hard fighting, the
latter was forced to give in ; when a Hide man,
friend to the beaten champion, indignant at his
friend's defeat, offered to fight the other, which
