After the last toast, the CHAIRMAN rose and
said that he was about to propose the health of a
gentleman who had gratuitously given his time
and his professional abilities to the Country and
to the County of Warwick in particular, in de-
fence of the sentiment conveyed in the last toast.
Gentlemen would at once anticipate the name of,
and acknowledge the services rendered to society'
by, Mr.! Clarke. More earnestly alive to the'
high advantages to be derived from a free press,
than those who made the liberty of the press
the watchword of party, Mr. Clarke had stood
forward the advocate of that freedom, by giving

his professional assistance to curb the licenti-
ousness by which the liberty of the press was en.
dangered. The sentiments of Mr: Clarke were
well known to the Members of the Club, and
they had an opportunity of seeing that his prac-
tice was consistent with the principles upon
which he professed to act. The Chairman con-
cluded by proposing the health of N. G. Clarke,
E.,q. which was drank with three times three.
Mr. Cr.AnKE returned thanks in a speech re-

plate with feeling.—We never heard him to
greater advantage, and his observations were re.
ceived with marked attention and applause by
the Company.

The health of 'Mr. George Barker, the Ho-

posed, by the Rev. J. 11. SPRY, and drank with

three times three.
Mr. BARKER returned thanks fOr the very kind
and flattering manner in which his services were

noticed by the Club.
The CUAIRMAN then said, that although hi►s
Majesty had been once drank in the evening,
coupled with the Church, the first standing toast
of the Club, yet he conceived he was only
giving expression to the ardent wishes of the
Members, if he proposed the health of his Ma-
jesty King George IV. Ishich was drank with
rapturous applause, and cheered with four times
four.

hour, much gratified with the proceedings of the
day.

AN Ext...t.xT L ‘MBERT.—In a country village,
about -12 miles from Bristol, there is a child,
whose present appearance bids fair to equal, if
not surpass, the wonderful prodigy in Leicester.
The child is only six months old, measures seven
inches round the arm-wrist, and nine inches three
quarters at the small'of the leg ; he is supposed
to weigh between 40 and 501bs. He was quite a
burden to be held long in the arms; appears
lively and healthy, the flesh tirtn and hard, and
is asserted by his mother to have commenced eat-
ing animal food at a fortnight old. He is the
child of a country shoemaker ; his face and all
his !hubs are in proportion but he does not vet

ATROCIOUS HIGHWAY It allllEßY.—Thurstiay
night Mr. M,tRsTALL, of fishmonger's-alley, near
the Town Hall, in the Borough, received a mes-
sage apprising him of the sudden and unexpected
accouchement of his sister, who lived at Newing-
ton, and who being in imminent danger, wanted
to see him before she died. Mr. M. set off with
the messenger, at' whoSe- instance, to save time,
he went across the -fields. When they had got
some distance into the field, three men came up,
one of whom struck Mr.. Marstall a desperate
blow which knocked him down,and in an instant
a handkerchief was forced into his mouth, and he
was held pinioned to the ground till his pockets
were rifled of his money and watch ; the villains
then escaped, leaving him covered with blood.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A Boy.—Yesterday. even-
ing an inquest was held before Mr. GRLL, at the
Goat, Pimlico, on the body of an interesting
little boy, aged 11, son of Mr. HIGGINS,'R re-
spectable inhabitant of Pimlico. It appeared,
that on Thursday evening, about six o'clock, the
deceased was taken with a pain in his head, and
continued in that state until eight, when he re-
quested his nurse to let him get out of bed and
lean his. head on' the bedstead. She complied
with his wish, and thinking he would get better she.
went down stairs; on her. return she found him
kneeling by the bedside with his head between
his hands, resting on the bed, a corpse. Ver-
dict—" Died by the Visitation of God."
To add to the wonders of the last" wonderful
year," a hare,'in the course of last week, was
seen at noon quietly trotting up Hackney Ter-
race. The children in the road were soon in full
cry, but they were not in at the death of poor
puss-, who, running up the,Mews, escaped over
.the Common.

'OLICE INTELLIGENCE.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FOR THE BANE OF

ENGLAND.

.. . . .
Mintnoitouori-Se-nEET.—Yesterday a case of consider-
able importance, and which exldbited the alarming faCility with
which forged notes, and-sovereigns, &c. can be procured, came.'
on to be heard at this Office, before' 0: M. Int lt, -Esq. the sit-
ting Magistrate.
John Tye, alias Job Jones, a man of shabby exterior, who
bad the appearance of an ostler cued employment, was brought
up in the custody of Kinsey, Goff, and Lawrenceethree of the
Lambeth-street officers, charged by them with being a iiEet.n,
in forged notes, counterfeit sovereigns, &c.
During the examination of the prisoner, a great number of
individuals were lurking about the office, who were well known.
td the officers as being connected with this extensive trafficewaite-
ing to ascertain the fate of their companion.
It appears that the prisoner,. wee has been for a consi-
derable length of time known as a DEALER in forged notes,
could not be properly traced until the present,instance, so as to
'be brought to Justice.- Information being received that he was
trafficing to an alarming extent, Kinsey, the officer, was em-
ployed to make every diligent inquiry into the case, and,
it possible; to trace -t-he haunts Of the prisoner. This-- he
accordingly did by 'the most active exertions, and found.
out that he was in the habit of resorting to a public house in
the neighbourhood of Goswell-street, City. road. Kimsey's next.
object was to adopt such means as would try the extent to which
theprisOner's depredations would becarrieu, and to put himself
in possession of a mode Of entering the society of the prisoner ;
but it being dangerous for him to do.so, he employed anean to
disguise himself as a-baker,and in that garb he nightly visited
the house where he resorted, and while in their society would -
.pretend to be asleepebut would hiten attentively 0 the conver-
sation and proceedings of the visitors. He went there every .-
'night, and at length became one of 'them.selves in every thing
but theilevil ways, and there was no doubt left, but the prsoncr.
was involved deeply in what the Bank suspected him of,' as be
was repeatedly seen to dispose of notes and sovereigns, the latter -
of which would be witnessed by hat fulls. The Bank of tng,
land was seldom used by the prisoner or his confederates; in thei
course of the Conversation they .termed it the " Jug," and. a ,

' quenting the house, and handing the money pretty free's',
would frequently indulge in the conversations concerning rob-
beries and other offences, and were quite riessii .in their dlr.-
course. • Whenever bad money was purchased, they would cell'

ing gained a sufficiency of information, the: NOSE gave it- to
Kinsey and Goff, the officers, whO took a female into their
service merely to be instrumental hi bringing the prisoner
or his associates to justice. She went to ' the public house •
alluded to, and sat with' the parties, who divulged to her the
mode in which they trafficked, and she consented- to purchase
forged notes of the prisoner, who willidgly offered them to her .
for sale ; she purchased a 51. note of hitneebr which she paid him
a sovereign, and he. told her that-, he could-procure for her as..
many as she wanted,' from 51. up to lea; if she paid 2 guineas
for a 101. note, and 4.for a 201. ; increeeingaa on to 1001. She
said' she had not sufficient money to purchase more•than one .51.,
but if she had ANY LIT ex, she would cell the following day ; she
accordingly called again, and met the prisenerett the appointed
time, purchased another note, and aehird,•-the following day ;
and in this way she was sere ed with a number of notes. The last
one she purchased, she was. supplied with a sovereign to pay for
it, which, was marked by Kinsey e.ahe purchased a note, and
gave it to the officers, who went to-the house and apprehended
the prisoner, whom they took to the Crown*, Clorkenwell-close,
and searched him, when they found on his person a forged 51.

him in .custody to this office for examination.
The nick names of sovereigns could never be traced. by-. the
cite:NE, but the manner in which they were purchased was this :
They Were sold at seven shillings each in large quantities ; any
body who wanted them should go in and do -nothing else but
throw clown the money, and they. would be supplied; if four-
