AN OLD ENGLISH GENTLEMAN.—As the Marquis of Angle-
sey was passing through Southampton on Wednesday, he
noticed four Staffordshire farmers who were attending the
Agricultural Meeting; he stopped and invited them to the
Isle of Wight, and they found themselves quite at home
amongst the good things at Cowes Castle.
Nightly some hundreds visit Cowes, some to enjoy a trip
to the Isle of Wight, others for economy, the beds at South-
ampton and Winchester being charged 10s. each, while at
Cowes they were to be had for 2s; they could pay the pas-
sage down and back, and save 3s , besides the treat of a trip
to the island. Though steamers leave almost hourly, the
accommodation was not equal to the demand. The steamers
were all loaded, the Gun this morning took 386, what could
not stand on the deck were stowed in the large boat the
lambs are taken over in for the London markets. They were
queer looking lambs certainly, and some thought it a sheepish
affair to be sent from Cowes in the cattle boat to view the
beasts assembled at Southampton.

THIRTY SECONDS ADVICE TO A

CABMAN.

3IY Goon FELLOW—Your being a cab-driver is no reason
why you should be dishonest and impertinent, or even ex-
press yourself improperly ; pray, therefore, take these few
words of advice as to your conduct and demeanour :
When a gentleman hails you, do not cry out "Here you
are, sir I" 'What you mean to say is, " Here I am, sir." To
tell a gentleman that he is where you are, is nonsense; un-
less, when he addresses you as " Cab :" you mean to reply
that he is another, and then it is impudent. Say, simply,
" Here, sir !" which is both concise and civil.

In soliciting for employment, pronounce the word, cab,
according to its orthography; that is, as it is spelt, c-a-b—
-cab, and not as if it were, k-e-b—keb. Your brethren almost
invariably cry, " Keb, sir !" " Keb, sir l" There is no such
word as keb in the English language; you annoy the correct
ear exceedingly by using it ; and besides, you set a bad ex-
ample to youth, who learn to imitate the inaccuracy.
Abstain, while on your stand, from flourishing your whip
in the face of everybody who passes you. By this gesture
you often needlessly interrupt a train of reflection, and dis-
compose a philosopher.
When you are desired to drive to such a place, go there
by the nearest way. Endeavour to do your duty rather
than your fare.
In making your charge, recollect that there arel,7oo yards,
not less, in a mile; and that miles are to be multiplied by
eightpence, not by one shilling. At all events, try whether you
cannot, now and then, ter once or so in the way, receive
your just due without grumbling for more, and being abusive
if it is not given you.
If it is net really too much trouble to you, mind, a little,
where you are driving. If you see a child or old woman in
Sour way, you may as well cry out before you run over them.
hould they not hear you, you might even slacken your pace
a little.

Wken any sort of property happens to have been left in
your cab, it will not be amiss, provided it is not exceedingly
valuable, to take it to the Hackney Coach-office, or to the
place at which you set your fare down. Honesty is not alto-
gether ridiculous, and may sometimes prove worth as much
as a crown to you.
These hints, my good fellow, are kindly meant by your
possible fare, PUIN CH.

EXTENSIVR ROnnERY BY A BANK CLERK.—Yes-
terday morning the walls of the borough of Birmingham
were covered 'oy bills, of which the following Is the sub
stary,';e:—" Felony--1001. Rewarti.---Wherens, Stan-
ley Warner, clerk in the 131rininghatn Town and District
Bank, has this day absconded with twelve 100/. Bank of Eng-
land notes, dated Birmingham, 18th April; 1843, and num-
bered from 46,531 to 46,54 both incl'usiv'e. lie is about 27
years of age, rive feet five inches high, rather broad shoul-
dered, light hair and complexion, and sandy whiskers. Pay-
ment of the notes is stopped. Birmingham, July 25,1844.'
It seems that Warner, who is a. young man of highly
respectable connexions, was in the habit or going to dinner
every Thursday betWeeir two and three o'clock. On the
above day, in accordance with this practice, he left the bank,
without having said or done anything calculated to attract
attention. He did not, however return at the usual time, and
one of the clerks having occasion to go to a drawer in which
a large amount of notes was kept, missed twelve 1001. notes.
Every exertion is now being made for his apprehension.
