LONDON JOURNEYMEN.—We have been in-
formed by a Gentleman, whose knowledge of the
circumstances and behaviour of the journeymen
in the metropolis may be regarded as in a very
unusual, or rather an unexampled degree minute
and correct, that of this important portion of the
labouring population, no one ever begs ; that such
a thing as a journeyman tradesman, or any of his fa-
mily begging, is almost unknown, and may with cer-
tainty be pronounced as one of the rarest of con•
tingent events. When it is considered to what an
extraordinary degree most of the employments
by which these men earn the means of subsist-
ence are liable to fluctuation, and thousands
of them are, for months together, deprived
of work, as was the case with thousands,
for example, of the carpenters and brick-
layers during the severe winter of 1813—
that of these, the whole must be reduced to the
most cruel privations, and a great proportion ac-
tually starve unpitied, unheard of, and unknown,
the resolution by which they abstain from begg-
:ing should be regarded as one of the- most re-
markable phenomena in the history of the human
mind.—(Mechanics Magazine.)

On Monday morning, about three o'clock, one
of the Under-Graduates of St. John's College,
Cambridge, was awakened by a noise in his bed-
room, when, seeing a man near his bed-side tak-
ing his watch, he jumped up and endeavoured to
seize him, but the man escaped out of the win
dow. The Gentleman wounded bins with a
sword-stick which he happened to have near him,
traces of blood being afterwards discovered near
the gates adjoining the river, and the new iron.
gates near the high road at the bottom of the Col-
lege walks ; which circumstance, it is hoped, wilt
lead to a discovery of the offender. He hail
packed up some articles of wearing apparel in a
bundle, which in his haste to escape he left be-
hind him.
