by two eminent physicians (their names we could not learn),
who he stated were in %Petulance for the purpose of runner-
iog any gni-Pines that might be dressed requisite.

A NEW PROPHET.
As soon as the Magistrate had taken his seat on the bench
on Saturday, a peewit of very extramdinary appearance was
placed at the bar by one of the officers. The officer shortly
slated that he bad found the Prisoner in the sheet on the
evening before, followed by a great mob, who disturbed the
peace by their shouts. 'l•he officer thought it II ry to re-
move 'because of the disturbance, by taking him into CU._
holy, and placing hem unites lock and key until be should
accotint for laintsrlf to the Magistrate.
The Prisoner is a peraust of large stature, beyond the
middle age, and a brag busby beard bong down lo Ina breast.
His dress consisird of a comic grey or brown shirt, without
any neckcloth, a large coat fastened about hi. waist by a
leather belt, a pair of old trousers, but he bad on neither
shoes nor stockings. Iles whole appearance was of the
moat imposing nature, mud he sinned absorbed in his owe'
reflections.
After the officer hail stated his charge, the following short
dialogue took place been PSI the Magistrate and the Pi isosier :

31agusiroteL*, W. 11! wisre eh 4 you come (roar—
" From Amarica."

" What part of Amy ricar—ts The ewe or Massache_
sells ; it was sit e411&.1 when I left it, four years ago."
" What brought yatt In England '''—" The 11.0wd called
me "

" When 'lid you come?"—" On the 13th day of
last."

6. What did you come for r'--" To prophesy."
a To proplits, '"—a I'm to prophesy"
" I IWhelre we most send you to our Pridewell at Brix-
ton. We have one hoopla I do re •Iready."--" I know nu-
thing of bun; I know nothing but Christ Jesus, and him cru-
cified."

The Prisoner was then desired to withdraw from the bar,
which lie did, and taking a *INA II bible from louder his coat,
appeared to read it with iv eat attention, apparently reg.tril•
Iran of every thing that Wall passing around him. Hr
however, very ready to answer any questions that were put
to him respecting ti•e motives of his coniloct, and to a per-
son who made lonic inquiries of him, he gave the follow-
ing account of himself

stance; and had • family. About four years ago the Lord
celled him to leave house and laud and wife and children and

The doverunsent have ordered all the telegriphs
between the Admiralty 'sod the out-ports of Eng-
land to be pot in perfect mirk. The old men.,er
of comnsunitiding-is WA aside, the new mode be-
ing considered infinitely more expeditious and com-
prehensive. By the clumge of system the question
given at the home station will only be known to the
officer who presents it. and to hint who la-t receives
it at the distant port. All persons immediately
employed will only have to make the facsimile of
the tir!.:t signal, aid the returns, which rutty be re-
ceived in fifteen minutes, at the distance of seventy
two-miles, if the atmosphere be favourable. The
workmen are busily employed at the Admiralty, at
West-square, and other places. It is conjectured
this repair is for the mow speedy communication of
intelligence (luring hi* MAJESTY'S ullsetiee on the
Coutitient.

The Lambeth Parochial Meeting fo► the election
of Overseers for that extensive Parish was so thinly
nttendeil nt the Vestry-room on Salimlac, that the
Overseer for the out distrtet, eomprelietirlin4 Brix-
ton, Stockwell, awl an extensive and populous vi-
cinity, was ellrtrrl by the two tax-glitherer4, they
Iseirig the only out-residents present. Now, in
point of strict law, the Overseer WAII the win who
should appoint the two tax-gatherers: and yet, in
point of fact, the latter elected him.
• The h t is nearly all got in, and where it has
been well saved the grata is of the beat mill finest
quality. The price, of lircail must eme.equeritly
fall, as nothing further is beard of the idle rumour
of scarcity.

A rent reduction is about to take place almost
immrdiatrly in the ectablixliment of the B•uak of
Englied. The 'timber or clerks to he discharged
is o.atril at 125, of which 40 are from the Hall.side
or Cashier's office, and the reitiainili r from the va-
rious accomitant.officrs for the different classifica-
tions of stock, with the one and Iwo pound Batik
note office. In the latter, which employed between
200 and 300 clerk-, the return to payments in
specie must have led to the expectation of a very
materiel reduction ; but the number discharged tin-
der the present arraneetnent is only 24. It was not
at all known before Tuesday last, we believe, that
the change was contemplated by the Governors
of the Bank. and the messu•e, therefore. be-
ing one that involves the welfare or subsistence
of so many funsilies appears n little abrupt. But
in the mode of carrying it into effect, the Batik
have acted with a degree, of liberality which merits
praise. All the clerks now dismissed will receive an
annuity for life, i❑ rroportion to the ■mount of pay
sod length of service, a selection being made. as far as
the interests of the concern rendered it prudent to do
so from those who are the soonest likely, from long
services, to claim the right of superatinuaticn. But
every clerk discharged will, we understand. Ise al-
lowed the option, if he prefers it. of receiving s
sum or money equivalent to the value of his an-
nuity. Thus to those who are still young, and
haven talent for bnsities•, an opportunity will be
stforded, lit' a supl•ly of capital, of engaging in
trade, and of working out their own independence.
The number of clerks employed at the Bank is
Blume 1,000; the number discharged, therefore,
is about one-eighili part of I,llr whole. By the
meastne a saving will accrue to the Bank when the
respective antinitie. till in, of about '20,000/. per
miution. 11• e understand that the cause assigned
by the Directors for this steir, in the notice to these
clerks whose service* are to reuse. is, a general
falling off in the Int,iness of the establishment.
