THE SWELL MOB AND THE TRIM,
BLE-RIG MIEN ON BOARD A STEAMER.

The Isle of Thanet Races, which finished on Thursday ae_
ternoon, were attended by a great number of the thimble and
pea-rig men, and a numerous muster of the swell mob thieves,
who were very successful in preying on the visitors of Mar-
gate and Ramsgate, and easing them of their money and
watches. Yesterday morning soon after the City of London
steamer left Ramsgate harbour it was discovered that many of
these fellows were on board, and Captain Corbin, the com-
mander of the vessel, a well-known and experienced comman-
der on the station, not having it in his power to remove them
immediately, ordered the luggage and carpet. bags of the pas-
sengers to be covered over with tarpaulins and secured, and at
the same time warned the respectable portion of his passen-
gers not to mix with the fellows in the fore part of the vessel,
to which place they were confined. He also caused to be
affixed in conspicuous places about the after cabins and the
deck a written notice, of which the following is a copy
" The passengers are earnestly requested to look after their
property and luggage (particularly on the arrival of the ves-
sel at London Bridge Wharf), as the Captain cannot be
answerable for the honesty of those persons in the fore part
of the vessel who have just left the races." The light-
fingered gentry were evidently disconcerted at these precau-
tions—they cast many a wistful glance toward the fobs and
pockets of the gentlemen and the reticules of the ladies, but
They could do no business ; and after the whole gang,
the wataful eyes of the captain and two men new upon them.
about
40 in number, had " muttered curses not loud but deep". at
Captain Corbin and his crew, they left the deck, declaring
they would never patronise the City of London again. During
the remainder of the voyage the rogues amused themselves in
the fore.cabin at cards, and a quarrel took place among them
near the Note ligho ; but a hint having been given that they
would be put ceer the ship's side into boats on the open sea if
they made the least noise, they became very quiet. On the
arrival of the steamer at London-bridge-wharf, the ruffians and
thieves on board endeavoured to land without
palingtheirfares, and swore most vehemently that they had already pad
and lost their tickets. The captain, however, kept them back
until the other passengers were landed, when he took them
out into the stream, and moored his vessel off the Custom-
house. This brought the rascals to their senses, and they were
not only
compelled to pay the fare, but also to engage small
bloats to convey them ashore. The precautions adopted by
Captain Corbin were rendered absolutely necessary, as a gang
of thieves, a few days since, on their way to Th met Races in
a steamer, e-mmitted several daring robberies, and carried off
some luggage belon;ing to ether passengers at the period of
debarkation.

The Emperor of Russia left Weimar on the 6th,
and drove several miles on the road to Erfurt, to meet his el-
dest son, the Grand Duke Alexander, whom, on his return,
he presented to the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar.
" THERE IS NO ACCOUNTING YOH TASTII."—A
young man, an agriculturist, born and bred within a mile of
the sound of the Kington Bells, called one day lately on a
respectible joiner of Kington, and gave orders that his corpo-
is al frame might b.! measured, length and breadth, as he was
desirous of having his csffin made instanter! The wooden
s urtout manufacturer, rather hesitated, alleging that it was
contrary to his usual practics to take the dimensions of lining
subjects, but this suggestion, or remonstrance, was un-
heeded, and according to directions this article of furniture
was completed under the constant inspection of the customer,
who gave directions to have a handsome plate attached, with
the name, residence, &c, inscribed thereon, a. blank was left
of course for the insertion of the age of the eccentric, when
he quits this mortal life. Various conjectures have been made
es to the use to which the article may be applied durina, the
life of the owner; some persons do not hesitate to say that it
may be the habitation of spirits, hut whether black, white, or
grey, is uncertain. This supposition may arise from the fact
that the possessor is a devotee of Bacehus.—fiereford Times.
The tessellated Roman pavement lately discovered
it a field at Whatley, near Frome, continues to be a source of
treat attraction, and has been visited by hundreds of persons
of all reeks during the past week. It is enclosed by a tempo-
r.ry crectien, and shown to the public at a trifling charge.
The pavement consists of two compartments, one being cir-
cular, and the other oblong. The inlaid stones are no larger
than dice, but of various colours, and forming different de.
vices ; in one part may be seen the figure of a King or Queen
with a sceptre ; and in another, an elephant, with several
fishes, vases, flowers, &c. Bones, coins, and a curious clasp-
knife, have also 'been found, and the workmen are nets em.
ployed in tracing what is supposed to have been the founda-
tion of a Roman villa. One of the coins bears the figures of
Romulus and Remus —Wiltshire Independent.

Last week five tenements at Stockcross, near New-
bury, were destroyed by fire, supposed to have been the wilful
act of a person of weak intellect, who is in custody.

'Yesterday, at the Police-office, no less than sixty.
one persona were p'aced before the Magistrates charged with
felony, and ninety-eight with being disorderly—in all 159 per.
sons in custody since Saturday night.--Liverpool Standard.
The inan Bowes, who was shot a few days since, at
Walthamstow, by two Cockney sportbmeo, is much better.
