EXTRAORDINAEY CIRCUMSTANCE.

About six weeks ago, a clerk in the house of Dorville
and Co. of Auser.ca.square, glinted the country, having

Es.laile, to the am omit tit of 6801. Mr. Dorville applied
to the city magistrates ulna the subject, and Sulkitiel
Fogg, the stearsitalmati, was selected as a proper person to
follow the delimptent and Ming Min to the hands &Jos-
bce. Fogg having procured a warrant for the appreitets•
s'.ot: of the clerk, traced him to Harwich, and from thence

wito had taken his passage on board a ship
hound to America. When Foes announced his errand,
the symptoms of terror shown by the clerk proved that '
no further march was necessary. Fogg had at this moo
rio authority about him but the warrant granted in
Loudon, and Its lacer's stall; and he had made nu
application to the police of the town. The young man,
however, said, " 1 know what you come about; do not
expose late; I shall gladly go with you ; indeed I have
been miserable since I committed the odence, and I am
rejoiced at the opportunity of going and throwing
myself at the feet of Mr.l)urville; I should have done
so before, bat. 1 was ashamed, I ;tad spent so much
money." Ilut the Captain, who was an American,
strongly opposed his &tenni:tattoo to leave the ship,
and accused Fogg of having arrested Mtn in defiance of
the authority of the cumatty. Fiugg, who had nu itlea

takets by two oi the police, who brought them into Dor-
meeist, ,00k thew liclore the magistrate, and accused the
otarsitalman of having appreheutled a man without an
application to the autliorines of the place. Notwith-
satiating assurances of the clerk titat no arrest had
been inade, and the rept...son:anon of the tharshalinats

sit e,ference, he supposed,might have been efficacious in
procuring his enlargement. The dungeon in which he
was imprisoned was of the most loathsome kind, and
while Ite was in it he never saw the face of a human

or brute being, except that of his gaoler. One of the
magistrates, however, treated hint with humanity, and
f equeotly sent for hint under pretence of examiniug istus,
in the purpose of git tug him an opportunity of breathing
she fresh air. The clerk and the servant were all this
time at liberty ; but the former never made an attempt
to leave Oordreclst until he was advised by Fogg to Kti

State what had occurred, and cause some interfamuce to
be made to prevent the continuance of the harsh measurts
