MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Mr Harrison, the pawnbroker, of Wardour-street,
on Saturday, made further interesting communica-
tions respecting Wheatley, the accomplished
swindler, as he thought it important the Foreign.
office should adopt proper measures to secure his
apprehension. From a letter Mr. Harrison had just
received from M. Bonny, of the Hotel de l'Europe,
Place Royale, Brussels, it appeared that Wheatley
was still practising a series of deceptions in several
of the continental cities. At Dresden he had re-
ceatly personated the Marquis of Clanricarde; and
at Brussels and other places, he had assumed the
title of Earl Grosvenor, the boy Callow (no.v re-
turned to England) passing as Viscount Belgrave,
his Lordship's heir apparent. The letter of NI.
Bonny, dated the 14th inst., was here handed to Mr.
Dyer. The writer said that having lately perused
all account in the Morning Chronicle of his pre-
ceedings, in the shape of an application of Mr. liar-
icon to Sir George Farrant, he was led to believe
that he was the same person who, in the early part
of February, had defrauded him to a considerable
amount, by representing that he was nearly allied
to Earl Grosvenor, and was then on It's way to
Hanover, accompanied by Lord Belgrave, whom
he was going to place at a college in that city.—
With so much cunning was every thing arranged,
that no suspicion was excited of Wheatley's
integrity, and he remained for a week at the Hotel
de l'Europe, living in the first style. M. Bonny
suggested to him, with great deference, that as
Hanover was very unsettled in consequence of a
revolution having broken out there, it might not be
prudent to travel to that place. Wheatley, how-
ever, said he would set off for Hanover; and, as he
represented he was short of cash, he would feel
infinitely obliged if M. Bonny would accept a bill
for 281. on Coutts's house. From the ease and
elegance of his manner, he (M. Bonny) did not re-
fuse, especially as he was the relative of a nobleman
so distinguished and opulent as Earl Grosvenor,
Having received the money, Wheatley arid the soi-
eisant Viscount departed in a caleche. It is scarcely
necessary to add that the bill was returned dis-
honoured, and M. Bonny was required to pay 21.
more for expenses. Wheatley had also defrauded
him (M. Bonny) of a travelling carriage, thus
making five vehicles he had dishonestly obtained on
the continent ; and he was therefore anxious that he
might be apprehended. Mr. Harrison added, that
he had communicated the purport of M. Bonny's
letter to Earl Grosvenor, and it was therefore pos-
sible that his Lordship would consult with the Ma-
gistrates on the subject.
Mr. DYER should be most happy to be honoured
with his Lordship's commands, and also to rend( r
Mr. Harrison any assistance to bring the swindler
to justice.

Q UEEN-SQUARE.
On Saturday Henry Hunt, Esq., M.P., was
summoned to this office, to show cause why he re-
fused to pay John Goddard, the driver of the hack-
ney-coach No. 390, the sum of 6d., the balance due
for his legal fare.
A person stepped forward, and said that he at-
tended for Mr. Hunt.
The coachman stated, that on last Tuesday nine
weeks Mr. Hunt engaged his coach about six o'clock
in the evening in Palace-yard, and he drove him to
his residence at No. 86, Stamford-street, Black-
friars, which was upwards of a mile, and his fare
was Is. 6d., which he demanded, but Mr. Hunt
would only pay him Is.
The person who attended for Mr. Hunt said, that
he had rode the same distance fifty times, and never
paid more than a shilling.
The coachrr an said that was very likely, and he
would not dispute the point, for he had driven Mr.
Hunt several times the sarne distance, and could
never get more than a shilling from him. He
should not have pulled him up now, only than when
