firrilness, and the purchas,s for the howe consumption
have been very extensive. This afternoon the low de-
scriptions continue to meet ready buyers, but there are
very few parcel, offering, and large Lumps now could not
readily be ohtlined under, 131 s. ; the mild and good de-
scriplinns of Lumps and Loaves also have been taken off
more freely for melting, and at rather advanced prices;
Gtr crashe:l there are still some ir,quiries, but the advanced
prices of Lumps, suitalde to make it, has checked the pur-
chases, which consequently have been confined to the mid.
sorts, at a 295. and tine, rntit!!..,l to the I.ounty on

ing some suspicion, refused to allow it to be take

until the purchase-money was paid. It is needles'
to say that the agreement was never ratified ;
Mr. C. having discovered Mr. 'Maltby's object, wt.
to the stables in Castle-street, and in undisgoiie,
language expressed his opinion upon his conduct'
Mr. C's. caution doubtless saved both his money
and his property from falling into the hands of °

and

Mr. ROE and Mr. CONANT expressed their regret
that Mr. Latham had not been so fortunate in
transactions with the prisoner and his master as the
writer of the last letter. Under all the circuit'',
stances of the case; it was wholly out of their power!
to afford him any assistance.
Mr. Latham, probably ought to consider himself
fortunate in having even got half a blind and unl
sound horse for his 31/., for it appeared that
there were other individuals who had never received;
any value for the money they had deposited.
An elderly gentleman named Riwlims, next came
forward to prefer a complaint against the prisoner.
He stated that on the 28th of December last, is
consequence of an advertisement which appeared itt
one of the Newspapers, he went to some stable: id
Fan-street, City, to look at a horse. The animal
was brought forward by the prisoner, who said that
he was servant to a Mr. Maltby, the person to whom
that and the other horses in the stable belonged.
Witness bluired the price of the horse that had
been advertised, and the prisoner said it could not
be sold for a less sum than thirty guineas. Witnese
said that he would give 30/. for the horse if he were
allowed a week's trial, and that it turned out to be
sound and exactly what the prisoner represented;
ttrtress also promised that if he found that no
teption were practised, he would make the prisoner
a present of two sovereigns. The prisuner assented
to these terms, and it was finally agreed that
,hotild be deposited in the hands of the prisoner
while the horse was on trial, and that sum was ac-' .
coidingl-)- paid down at once, and a written agree-
ment was drasvo out by a Mr, Machin, who stated
himself to be the ov,ner of the stables. Th,i.n
agreement was signed " for Mr, Halttry." In
about a week afterwards witness gent his servant for
the horse, in order that he might give it a trite!,
but the prisoner would neither give the servant the
,1
horse nor the 3/.

Mr. Rawlins's servant deposed, that when he
went for the horse, the prisoner refused to permit
him to take it away, unless the whole purchase-
money were first paid. Witness said that his master
had not yet purchased the horse, nor did he intend
doing so until he had given it it trial. The prisoner
said that Mr. Rawlins certainly had bought the horse,'.
and mtrit stick to his bargain.
Mr. Machin, the person who had drawn out the
agreement between the prisoner and Mr. Rawlins
was next examined. He stated himself to he the
owner of the stables in question, and acknowledged
that he had written the agreement produced.
The Magistrates said, that the prisoner had cer—
tainly riot on the present occasion brought himself
within the power of the law, but he would do wen
to be cautious in his future proceedings.
The prisoner was then discharged, but previous
to his quilting the office, Mr. RoE hoped such
publicity would he given to these transactions, as
would put every person in the kingdom upon their
guard; and deter them from visiting Mr. Maltby's
horses or Mr. Machin's stables.

THE OPERA.—We are requested to state
that this new story of the " Beau Monde," by the Author
of" Moth.rs and Daughters," will be published on Mon—

The publication of Mr. LEIGH HUNT'S forthcoming novel,

LUNACY Co:stmissrow.—On Monday a re-
spectable Jury were assembled at the Swan Hotel, Bed-
fm-d, to inquire touching the state of mind of Mr. T. B.
HOOK, formerly of St. Peter's, Bedford, but now of the
County Lunatic Ailutn. The Commissioners were, J.
F. Mooac, Esq. ; E. 13wormar, Esq.; T. PEARSE, Esq. ;
and J. 511.4,111. min, Esq. After hearing evidence, the

NEWS l'A PE RS-POS T- OF FICE.-- The Suit,
Court Journal, British Traveller, and Examiner, due
at t his Office on Monday, have not reached us. The post-
office here is nut in fault. So the irregularity lies at the•
door either of our London agents, or, what is more likely,
in the blundering cstab;ishment in Aldgate-street.—

DEATH OF MR. FLINT.—We have this
week to record the death of Mr. W3I. FLINT, the cele-
brated angler, and author of a treati•e on the horse, who
rode a match over Knavesmire against Mrs. TuoitYros-,
in the August meeting 1804. For some years past he
had resided at Driffield, but during the last six months
h.ol been at lo igings in Castlegate, in this city, his wife:
and family still residing at Driffield. He was addicted to,
spirituous liquors, and frequently complained of having at-
t,u•ks of spasmodic a'thtna, for which he took laudanum,,
and sometimes, according to his own account, twelve
drops of prussic acid. On Friday night last, he went to
bed in a state of intoxication ; his son, about fourteen.
years of age, sleeping with him. About nine the next,
morning, he told the boy to get up, give him a glass, and:
then fetch him a cup of coffee. The boy gave him a glass,
and fetched the coffee up-stairs, when, being absent only a.
few minutes, he found his father a corpse. Mr. BROWN,
surgeon, was called in, who found in the deceased's pocket,.
a small vial, labelled " poison," which had contained.
prus,ic acid. An inquest was held on the body on Satur-
day evening, when a verdict was returned of ‘• Died from
having taken too large a dose of prosaic acid as a medi-
cine."— York Chronicle.

Not many days since, and only a few miles
from Dunster, some persons were alarmed by the moans
of a person apprently in distress, and they discovered that.
it preceeded from an outhouse of a farm-yard. On re-
pairing to the spot a stranger was discovered in female
attire, and to all appearances it was believed to be a woman
in labour. She was immediately given to tke occupant of
the farm, who not su.pecting the trick which was played
off, with a feeling which did him credit, sent for the over—
,eer, and in the mean time administered some warm
brandy and water. At length the supposed female was
conveyed in a cart to the workhouse, clothing provided,
same good women ordered to attend her, and they were
for some time also deluded ; but, from the person expressing
a wish to have a little more brandy and water and a few
shillings to enable her to get on to some other parish, the',
began to suspect the trick, and were about to send her
themselves, when the impostor (a man in woman's clothes)
bolted, and was soon out of sight.--Cambrian.
