The w.-)odmen of Arden met at the Forest Hall,
on Meriden Heath, last Monday, to shoot at their
Grand Annual Target. The great honour con-
tended for at this target is the rank of Captain of
Numbers, which was won in a very superior style
by the Earl of AYLESFORD; who presides at this
very respeaable Society, His Loniship has been
long distinguished among the most eminent Tox-
ophilites, for combining strength of arm, elegance
of attitude, and precision of attn.

tested by General FINCA, TIIO4.AS and WiLI,I4Nt
PALME4, Esqrs. and won by the latter by one 4hot
a-head.

On Wednesday the Silver Arrow was shot for,

The irregularity in the Fares of Watermen, has
often been complained of, and. we'are concerned to
nbserve, that in the present state of things, no re-
dress is attainable. It may be Advantageous to
the Public to be informed of this. A Gentleman
took a hoat on Tuesday, from Landon-bridge to
Limehoose, and the Waterman demanded treble
his fare, notwithstanding he was threatened with
an inforination. On applying at Waterman's -1-1411,
the Gentleman found that the complaint must he
lodged with the LORD • MAYoR. He Ellen repre-
sented the case to his Lordship, who said, he la-
mented the extortions whichhe knew were daily
praaised by Watermen, but that there were no
means of redtess, as the former rates were repealed,
and too others had yet been substitttted.
