OFFICIAL PURCHASES OF SPIRITS.--A request
having been made by a party at one of the outports, the
purchaser of some spirits, which had been sold by the
eastern authorities at the place on the part of the
Crown, to be allowed to remove the spirits from London
for the purpose of being placed in the bonded warehouse
here, under the warehousing regulations, until it should
be convenient to him to clear the same for exportation,
he has received intimation that as the spirits were sold
by the Crown and purchased by him on the condition
that they should be cleared within a given time from the
bonding premises, the request to be allowed to re-ware-
house in the port of London could not be complied with,
but that the spirits might be removed here for the pur-
pose of exportation, and deposited in her Majesty's ware-
house at his expense until such disposal of the goods
should be effected.

NARROW ESCAPE.—We scarcely recollect a better
instance of presence of mind, when that quality is de-
cidedly required, than the following:—On Monday week,
Mr. Beedard, a. person residing at Brimfield, near Lud-
low, and doing a considerable business as a higgler, was
returning home in his cart from Kidderminster. On the
road, between Bewdley and Newnham-bridge, he met a
woman carrying a basket, who asked him for a ride. He
consented, and on the woman's getting into the cart he
came in contact with her hand, which immediately struck
him as being too large and hard for a woman's. His
suspicions being thus aroused, and recollecting the oc-
currence of a robbery under similar circumstances else-
where, he hit upon the following ingenious mode of
getting quit of his companion. Pushing off his hat, as
if by accident, into the :road, he asked the supposed
woman to get down and pick it up, as his mare was rather
skittish, and he was afraid to quit the reins. The seem-
ing woman complied, but as soon as she was out of the
and ingenuity.
egaea t Mr. Beddard flogged his horse into a gallop, and
ve ber or him the go-by. About
. half. a mile onwards
he had again occasion to exercise all his self-possession
