LATE OUTRAGES at CAMBRIDGE
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Snt,—You will onige by allowing me to put a ques-
tion (through the medium of your journal) to Mr. Fisher
and Captain Bailey---the case of assault being clearly
proved against the lion. G. Calthrop, why it was
abandoned, and, for a similar offence, why was the other
geatlemai, Mr. Billy Moden, fined los. ? So long as
outrages on public order and decency are thus connived
at, and dealt with, what may we expect but a recurrence
of such manifestations of aristocratical buffoonery, to
the danger and annoyance of every peaceable citizen. If
the farce here acted is not an evasion of the law. and a
corruption of the civil force, what is ?

I am, Sir, yours respectfnlly,
AMICUS PACIS.
Durham, March 11, IR4.

ADROIT SWINDLING.

A person of respectable, not to say gentlemanly
address, a few days since presented himself at the count-
ing-house of Messrs. Southern and Evans, merchants.
of this city, and stating that he was about to commence
business as a dealer in guano' at Cardiff, requested to
see samples of the articles which the above firm could
supply to him Accordingly the request was gratified ;
and the, usual preliminaries of business having been
settled to mutual satisfaction, a sale of eighty tons
was effected. The psuedo dealer now solicited the
merchant's assistance in getting the guano shipped ;
and search was made for a botion, but unfortunately
(or rather fortunately as it proved in the sequel)
there was RO vessel in the port wanting a freight,
much to his disappointment. As it happened, how-
ever, the Henry Southan, steamer, which was on
the point of starting for Swansea, had room for
ten tons of goods, and it was arranged that
that qautity of guano should be put into her
hold for conveyance to Cardiff. This part of the lading
completed, the dock-men asked their employer for some-
thing to drink, a request which he at fir:t put off on the
plea that they, should have it when the whole of the
guano was shipped; but apparently on re-consideration,
he changed his mind, and took them to the Trunipc.t
public-house. There he ordered a plentiful " wet" for
the porters, took a glass of grog himself, and on leaving
the house, told the landlady that he should send the men
there again on the next day , when they had completed
the lading of his goods, andj he would then, settle the
whole—a promise which was honoured by the gra!eful
hostess with a low curtsey. From this 'period he W`.s
lost sight of on land, the merchants, naturally enough,
taking no thought of him while the bulk of his
" purchase" remained at their stores, and never
suspecting that he might, by mere possibility, be
" a land shark." It would appear, however, that the
customer got on board the steamer, and after she had
started on her voyage, got " unco cosy" with the
steward. He eat, drank, and stroked to the top of his
bent, and altogether enjoyed a pleasant voyage to Car-
diff. , Arrived there, he unshipped the bags or precious
stuff, which he was about to convert into gold ; and the
weather being cold or wet, the steward, in his simple
good nature, lent his top-coat to the gentleman, who was
so good a customer to the vessel, and the mer-
chants her owners. As for the freight, he intimated
that he had made it " all right" at Gloucester —end
for the charges of the voyage he would settle on his
return. No sooner was the gentleman with the guano
ashore than he sought out an auctioneer, employed the
crier to announce its sale, and in the course of a
very short period it was knocked down to the best
bidder, " without -reserve"— the purchaser getting for
forty-seven pounds, goods which had been valued at, and
ought to have cost 801., a few hours before in the Glou-
cester docks. The gentleman, still in a hurry, next
contrived to cajole the purchaser out of a cheque for
the purchase-money, forstalling the customary demand
of the auctioneer ; immediately after which he disap-
peared, having diddled merchants, steamer, steward,
cryer, auctioneer—all his employes in fact ; and he is,
~orne eholeo ob..eurty, with
no doubt, now rejoicing in
many golden reasons, in having successfully subdued
" that worst of earthly ills,
