NEWSPAPER ROBBER Y.-A fraud of a most
flagrant kind, and one, the extent of which can-
not possibly be ascertained, has, in the course of
last week, been discovered in the Post-office. It
appears that a Clerk or Clerks in the Inland
Office have been in the regular practice of pur-
loining Newspapers, and disposing of them to
the News-boys. We believe that few have suf.
fered more in this respect than the Antidote has
done, and it is only by this important discovery
that we can at length account for the al-
most innumerable complaints of irregularity
in its delivery. We have often assured our
readers, that such were the arrangements
in our office, a mistake was almost impos-
sible; still, weekly, many were disappointed.—
We hope, now that the source of all has been
exposed, that no errors shall in future take place.
—Too much praise cannot be given to the Secre-
tary, Sir Edward Lees, for his unremitting and
kind attention to the frequent complaints which
we were obliged to lay before him ; to his exer-
tions and scrutiny the public are indebted for
the investigation which has terminated so favour-
ably for them.—(Dublin Antidote.)

In the manufacturing town of Wigan, in Lan-
cashire, there are twenty retail breweries now in
full trade. It is not only in the reduced price
and improved quality of the beer sold at these
breweries that the public are benefitted, but
since their establishment a visible improvement
is manifest in the condition of the families of the
workmen.

" SIR,--I have received and laid before my Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty your letter of the Ist instant, and
am commanded to acquaint you that their Lordships will not
give you any trouble on the subject of the substitute you have
discovered for oak bark to prevent the Dry Rot.
" I am, Sir, your very humble servant,
(Signed) " JOHN BARROW.
" To Mr. John Burridge, 55. Nelson-square."
Conceiving, as I am informed, you expressed yourself at the
Ship Owner's Dinner, that the Commercial Navy is the root of
British Revenue, political power, and commercial prosperity,
I am again induced to hope my pamphlet may, under these
circumstances, meet a share of your attention, as the prime
guardian of our foreign relations, when the reasons will be
very obvious that impose silence according to their Lordship's
letter. Nevertheless, I still feel it my imperative duty to
trouble you once more, before Parliament meets, under the
conviction that it is every Englishman's duty, to his King and
Country, to use his humble endeavours for the preservation of
our Ships, Colonies and Commerce, especially when he con-
ceives they are placed in great danger, without timely counter-
actives, which I presume to hope are worthy of some considera-
tion and public inquiry.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) JOHN BURRIDGE.

Foreign-Office, JAN. 31, 1824.
Mr. Canning has received Mr. Burridge's Letter of the 28th
(meaning the 29th inst.)
Mr. Canning must beg leave altogether to decline a corres-
pondence upon a business, in which he has neither personal or
official concern, having enough of his own upon his hands.
