ARTFUL Bonnewr.-:—Yesterday afternoon Mr
Millman, of Ehury-street, Pimlico, was walking in St.
James's-park, when opposite Buckingham Palace, he was
accosted by two men, who made numerous inquiries as to
the palace, informing him that they were strangers, having
arrived in London that morning. Whilst thus engaged a
well-dressed man, who passed them, was observed to drop a
purse heavily filled with gol I and silver. Mr. Millman and
the strangers made him acquainted with his loss, and gave
him his purse. He said they were three honest fellows, and
insisted on treating them to a bottle of wine; they ac-
cordingly adjourned to a tavern in James-street, Bucking-
ham-gate. Here the owner of the purse produced a roll of
notes, announced that he had just come into a fortune of
5,0001., and, in gratitude to them for restoring his money, he
would, providing they could prove themselves respectable,
present them with 101. each. The two others produced
what appeared a consi,'erahle sum in notes and gold, and
Mr. Millman shovr ed fifty-three sovereigns he had just re-
ceived. The stranger at once drew out three 10/. notes, and
wrarting Mr. Millman's gold up in one, he returned it to
him. They all then lett the house. Mr. Millman felt a
eocfe2daa

misgiving, and put his hand to his pocket; the three fellows
instantly took to their heels and got clear away, leaving Mr.
Millman with a note on the bank of elegance and some gilt

FATAL ~STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday
afternoon considerable consternation prevailed in the vicinity
of the London Docks and on the opposite shore, in conse-
quence of the sudden swamping of the Wasp, pleasure steam-
boat of about three tons burden, the prverty of Mr. Enstace
Anderson, a gentlemau, residing at Rosythe-cottage, Black-
heath, who was on board at the time, with Mrs. Andel sin,
his three infant cl,ildren (of the respective ages of 2i, 4,
and sa), a lady named Broe n, the servant-girl, and a water-
man. The boat had proceeded as far as the London Docks,
which it was passing, going with the tide at a very rapid
rate. At this part of the river the Wasp was met by the
Emerald, Boulogne, and Dundee steamers, one other steam-
boat having pi er iously passed. There was a heavy swell of
the water betore the approach of the Dundee /red Emerald
steamers,
which was much increased by these powerful ves-
sels. The Wasp gave a sudden dip in the water, which run
over her gunwales, and, before she was righted, a second
wave completely ingulpned her. Ina moment the vessel
disappeared, and the whole on board were observed struggling
in the water. Assistarce was immediately afforded them
by the watertnen on both sides of the river, and by boats,
which were specclily manned, from ships in the different
tiers. One by one, with the exception of the servant-girl,
they were rescued. She bad only been in the service of the
