A votiog Lady, whose name we understand is

there were many passages calculated to display: the

for' the standing of a carriage in an inn 'yard, and
sums in proportion are paid for horses.

A new Theatre has been built on the entrance

the management of Mr. StANTON. It'was opened

The late Mr. STONESTREET was a man of con-
siderable knowledge and• abilities. He was well
acquainted with commercial and financial concerns,
and possessed literary powers which qualified him to
communicatchis infbrination and his refleetionS with
-spirit, force, and humour. 'He animadverted on the
plan of a projeded office of Insurance, with such
forcible reasoning and keen raillery, as to throw
considerable impediments in the way of a design,
by which the Patrons conceived that they should be
enabled
.to reach the happiness of EDEN.
BARTOLOZZI in a short time takes a final leave

This admirable Artist has ,exerted his unrivalled
talents with considerable success in this Country ;
but his hospitable and liberl spirit has left him, at
a very advanced age, little more than his high pro-
fessional repute.

.HO-XEN, the late Grand Vizier of China, was
possessed of z 7 millions sterling of property. His

articles of his impeachment in jtistification, of the

His wealth indeed seents the true cause of his fall.

reached the roof of their great easting.Lhouse, which,

NATHANIEL coitAtlr, Esq. with having defrauded
the Marquis of Worcestet,-, by. taking the Carriage,
anti porterage of a blank parcel, diretfied to his
Lordship; prethiding the same had come from Fly_

Sophia Cookson ineotMed the Magner ate, that
the Prisoner knocked at the Marquis of Worcester's
house, in Grosvenor,:street, the preeeding.night;

.going 'to the
door, 'he said he had brought, a parcel for
.the
quis, from the Swan with 'Two Necks, Lad-laree ;
that the carriage came to zs and the porterage is.
She took the parcel and paid the two shillings ; but
having read in the public Papers, that frauds had.
been committed by persons leaving blank .parcels. at
Gentlettien's houses, she determined; bcfute. she
paid the other Shilling, to open. the-parcel; the fa-
mily being from home, and accordingly pulled out
her scissors to cut the cord the parcel was tied wiih,
but was prevented by the iirisoner,_ who insisted
that the parcel should not be opened unless she
would go with him to the coach:or:dee.. His beim_
viotir induced her to believe that he -meant to prac,•
tise a frauds and she had the courage to seize hold
of his collar) and to call her sister, the only ,person
in the IrritiSe; whoiiisuintly came, and procured the

role was fetched, who took him to the Watch-

house.--On searching him, two other blank parcels
were found, one direded,to Lord Bathurst, and the
other to Counsellor Baldwin,. in the same -hand-
writing. With the one direa4 to the Marquis.
Lord Gower's porter 'also appeared against the
Prisoner. lle said he came to his Lord;hip's house
in Arlington-street,. Piccadilly, on the 7th of
August, with a parcel, which he said he had
brought from the Stvan.'With Two Necks, Lad_
lane ; that the carriage .was is. 6d. and the porter.
age 6d. Having no suspicion of the fraud, he
paid him Is. 6.1. and gave him- is. .porterage, ob.
.serving,-that his trouble in bringing 'it 'out' of the
city deserved more than 6d. as a'recompense. When
he was gone, his Lordship being in Scotland, he
opened the- parcel, and. found it contained only a
sheet of brown paper, and that he had beensheated.
- A servant belonging to the MarquiS of Sligo told
a similar story respecting a parcel brought to his.
Lordship's house in Grafton-street, with this only
difference, that he would not pay the demand till.
he had opened it ; and while he was so doing, the
Prisoner. made his escape.
The Prisoner,. who was a 'well-dressed young
man, confessed that he had been discharged only the
preceding Saturday from that Office, •on a similar

charge; and that he had nothing to offer in extenna:
tiOn for himself.• He said he had lived only four
months since as-footmaTi to. Lady Rumbold.
The . Magistrate told him he had taken some
pains to warn him of the fate he was likely to meet
with on the, preceding examination, if he did not

return to-hon-est and industrious ways ; and that he
was sorry..his
_admonitions lead failed of success. He

was then fully committed for trial at the cruaing
Westminster Sessions.

WOODMEN OF -ARDFN.'— Yesterday -sennight
the: Woodmen of Arden again met to shoot for their
Silver Arrow. The day was rather unfavourable to
their accustomed display of skill, being very windy,
which gave an advantage to the,strong bows. The
contest lay principally
.between the Earl of AYLfs.
FORD, General FINCH,,W. PALAVER, C. REPPING-
TON, Esq._ and the Rev. JOHN DII-KR. Much
good shooting was. displayed, considering the wea-
ther, and the prize was won by W. PALMER, Esq.
On. Friday the Bugle was shot for ; and the-day
being more calm, a veryskilful andexcellent contest
took placi. The great opposition this day was
between THotvtAs•FETHEßsrotlE, Esq. RICHARD
GRESLEY, Esq. Rev. Jorm Dtvza, and GULDER'i
BERENFORD, Esq. The hard contested trophy was
aft _length won by Mr. DII.RZ. In the. Lotteries,

Lusus NATIJR/C.—,ln the village-of Prin, near
Niort, *a cow has been delivered with great difficul-
ty, of a singular monster. On examination it was
found to have two similar heads, each hpring two
eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth, a tongue, a neck,
&c. It was also found to have on one side two mem-
branes, containing two pulmonary lobes and a heart
which were separated from the abdomen
.by the
diaphragm; and on the other, one membrane with-
out lungs,
.but with a heart like the other, having
two ventricles, and two auricles. The two bodies
were united by one umbilical cord, and had but one'
abdomen. It had fan. bin.ds legs, articulated by
four femoral heads into, two cavities, united par
simphise,. forming two ilions, two ischions, two
pubes, and one. as sacrum, to which were attached
two tails. This monster was killed in the delivery,
through the unskilfulness of those who were called
in to assist the cow.

A Young man, Clerk to a Merchant in the City,
was yesterday had up at the Mansion House, to be
examined on a charge of having embezzled 3001. of
-his Master's property ; .but the MaNter -not ap_

On Saturday at Broadstairs, a Gentleman driving
