BOW•STRERT, OCT. 29.—Mr. Embry, the fac-
mer, of Tanners-field, Herefordshire, who, we stated
in our PaPer of Friday, had been defrauded' by two
sharpers, at a •putilic-house near the Foundling HoS-
pital, •of 551. ss. by the old trick of pretending to
find a diamond cross, oave information of the cir-
curnstance at the OtfiCe, and a description of the
men. Humphreys, the Messenger of the Ofllce,
said he would take him to a flash,houie, where he
'worild be -likely to see them. They accordingly
went, and Mr. Embry pointed 'out a well-known
character of the name ot Joseph Leigh as one Of
them, and Humphreys took trim into custody.
- F7,atinflaylie,uuderwent au examination before
Mr. GRAHAM, but he did not answer the description
ot either of the men originally given by Mr. Embry.
The prisoner proved an alibi, by producing his land-
lord, who swore that, at the time Mr. Embry was
defrauded on Wednesday morning, the Prisoner was
ill in bed. This, in some degree, was corroborated
by the prisoner only having, the following day,
when he was apprehended, in his possession, a
seven-shilling piece; there were, however, found
upon hint- nineteen shani bank-notes, and fifteen
counterfeit shillings. In consequence of the latter
being found, Mr. Cooper, the Solicitor to the Mint,
attended but none of them. having been. uttered,
the mere possession of them did ;not constitute a
crime.

The prisoner was therefore discharged.
The pretended diamond cross proved only to be
worth a few shillings:

By a letter from an Officer at Bombay, dated
December 12, we are informed that the Jungle feier
has broken out among the people employed by
Government in cutting timber in the Malabar forests,
in consequence of which numbers of them had died,
and- the circumstance had occasioned such alarm,
that the other labourers had refused to work. -

On Saturday last a young man, in Denmark-Court,
Strand, took so large a quantity of a mercurial pre-
paration, that it occasioned his death. He had no
intention to destroy himself, but, on the contrary,
took the fatal medicine with a view to improve his
health. He was to have been married On Sunday
morning, and died about the time when the cere-
ruony was to have taken place.
