in the spring of ISO 7, that is, above four and twenty years ago,
Mr. Carpenter, of Old Bond-street, published a small work of
mine, with the title of" George the Third," in three volumes :
in one of them, I forget which, there was a story, chiefly of my
invention, and founded on a tradition relative to a device, visible
on an antiquated building in the town of Galway in Ireland.
In the year 1820, came from the Dublin press, a History of
Galway, in 4t0., a very clever work, by Mr. James Hardiman,
who has the reputation of being a truly learned and ingenious
writer. In his history, he has given, with alterations, a place to
my aforesaid story ; but, like a man of an honourable mind, has
assigned the composition, such as it is, to me.
In the year 1829, cr 1830, a Mr. Mac - somebody, published
" Stories from the history of Ireland," and among them repub-
lished my luckless legend ; leaving it to the gentle reader, how-
ever, to conjecture the author, without any allusion to my ob-
scure name, or to Mr. Hardiman, from whose book it was probably
extracted.
In the last number of the Literary Gazette, for Saturday the
19th instant, my redoubted fiction once more makes its appear-
ance, professedly selected from the translated tour of a certain
German Prince! It is announced by the Editor of the L. G. as
" a Tale of Galway;" and, though indisputably my story is so
mended as to stile, by what some, I dare say, may choose to think
fine writing, that I can scarcely recognize my own homely and
unpretending narrative.
I have not, as I conceive, been very handsomely treated by
some of the parties concerned, and shall esteem it as an act of
kindness if you can afford me an opportunity of vindicating my-
self in the most public manner possible, namely, in one of your
columns.

If my story was deileient in merit, it should not have been
thus forced upon the world's notice; if not, the lawful proprietor
should not be denied his portion of renown by the editor of a
paper so influential as the L. G. At all events, the product of
labours not his own should not be made over to the German
Prince, either through design, inattention, or ignorance.
I trust I shall not be suspected of a project for puffing " George
the Third," when I add that another edition is not contemplated,
and that a copy can now hardly be procured, owing to the flat-
tering avidity with which the impression was bought up by those
best of all publishers in time of need, the pastry-cooks, trunk_
makers, and venders of snuff, " pepper, and frankincense."

SUPPLEMENT to the LONDON GAZETTE
Of FRIDAY, dated MONDAY.

At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 21st day of IStay., 1E331
By the Lords of his Majesty's Most 1-ton. Privy Council.

Whereas by an Act of Parliament, passed in the sixth year of
the reign of his late Majesty King George the Feurth, entitled
" An Act to repeal the several laws relating to the performance
of Quarantine, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof,"
it is, amongst other things, enacted, " that it shall and may be
lawful for the Lords and others of his Majesty's Privy Council,
or any two or more of them, to make such order as they shall
see necessary and expedient upon any unforeseen emergency,
or in any particular case or cases with respect to any vessel ar-
riving and having any infectious disease or distemper on board,
or on board of which any infectious disease or distemper may
have appeared in the course of the voyage, or arriving under
any other alarming or suspicious circumstances as to infection,
although such vessels shall not have come from any plaso from
which his Majesty, his heirs and successors, by and with the
advice of his Privy Council, may have adjudged and declared it
probable that the plague, or any such infectious disease or dis-
temper, may be brought ; and also with respect to the persons,
goods, wares, and merchandise, and other articles aforesaid, on
board the same ; and in case of any infectious disease or dis-
temper appearing or breaking out in the United Kingdom, or
the Islands of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and Man, to
make such orders and give st. directions, in order to cut off
all communication between any persons infected with any such
disease or distemper and the rest of his Majesty's subjects, as
shall appear to the said Lords, or others of his Majesty's Privy
Council, or any two or more of them, to be necessary and ex-
pedient for that purpose :" and whereas the infectious disease or
distemper called the spasmodic cholera bath appeared and broken
out within the United Kingdom ; and whereas, in order to cut
off all communication between any persons infected with the
said disease or distemper and the rest of his Majesty's subjects,
it doth appear to the Lords and others of his Majesty's Privy
Council necessary and expedient that Boards of Health, to be
constituted as hereinafter mentioned, should be established
within such cities, towns, and other places within the United
Kingdom as may be affected with, or as may be in danger of
becoming affected with, the said disease, and that proper mea-
sures be taken for securing the communication to such medical
boards of authentic intelligence respecting the actual state of
the public health within any such city, town, or place, and the
condition of all persons therein labouring under the disease, or
any other disease highly dangerous to the health of his Majesty's
subjects.
Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered by the Lords and others
of his Majesty's Privy Council, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers so vested in them as aforesaid, by the said Act of Parlia-
ment, and in pursuance of any other powers enabling them in
that belief, that Boards of Health shall forthwith be established
in every city, town, or place within the United Kingdom, to
which an order for that purpose shall be transmitted by the
Lords and others of his Majesty's Privy Council, such order
being certified by the signature of one of the Clerks in Ordinary
of the Privy Council ; and that such Boards shall be consti-
tuted in such manner, and shall proceed in the execution of
the duties committed to them in such form, and according to
such regulations, as shall be directed and described by any
order so to be issued and certified as aforesaid ; and it is further
ordered that every practitioner of medicine within every city,
town, or place, in which every such Board shall be so consti-
tuted, shall and is hereby commanded and required to make to
such Board a daily report, under his hand, containing a full,
true, and particular account of the condition of every person at-
tended by such medical practitioner who may be affected with
the said disease, or with any other disease highly dangerous to
the health of his Majesty's subjects ; and all medical practi-
tioners who shall neglect or omit to make any such return by
the time, or at the place, or in the manner or form so to be re-
quired, or who shall in any such return wilfully make any false
statement, are hereby warned and admonished that the several
penalties consequent upon any such disobedience to the provi-
sions of the before-mentioned Act of Parliament will forthwith
be enforced against them ; and all mayors, magistrates, justices
of the peace, and others, his Majesty's officers, civil and mili-
tary, and subjects whomsoever, are hereby commanded to be
aiding and assisting, to the utmost of their several abilities, in
enforcing prompt obedience to this present order in punishing
by all lawful ways and means any neglect or violation thereof.

TATTERSALL'S.

12 to 1 offered agst either of the Duke of Gratton's lot.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Forth, who is a man in
his 75th year, offered to take 50001. to 10001. that he rides 200
miles in eight hours!

MR. OSBALDESTON'S MATCH
AND NEW CHALLENGE.

Mr. Osbaldeston has published a letter, correcting some inac-
curacies in the statement of his late match. He says he is not
47 by several years, and explains that he threw himself off Ikey
Solomons on finding that he showed symptoms of bolting among
the trees. Mr. Osbaldeston gives the following new challenge
to the sporting world :—I challenge any man:in the world, of any
age, weighing or carrying my weight, to ride any distance he
prefers, from 200 to 500 miles, for '20,000/. ; but if he will only
tide 200 mills or 250 miles, I will ride for 10,00er. Or I will ride
against the jockey of 7st. whom they talk of backing to ride '2OO
miles in eight hours, receiving thirty minutes for the difference
between 7st. and llst. ; or I will take 10,0001. to 3,0001. or 20,000/.
to 6,0001. that I ride 200 miles in eight hours, which, it must be
allowed, would be a wonderful performance for list. odd, and I
think almost impossible—at least, a single accident would lose
the match, and I should scarcely have time to mount and dis-
mount. I am always to be heard of at Pitsford, near Northampton.
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE OSBALDESTON.
