[NICE SEVENPtNCE,

this (Mice. from St, 'Watch-house, tuidtr

the icniciwing eir4.oinstances :
,It. will most likely be remembered by several of
mr neaders, that in the, month of July ra,r, two
roott,were.giveu oirthe.same. night (the Bth) 4n
Tortinao.sqoare, by,Lady,Jersey and die Eat! of

Shaftesbury, at both, of ,which a dashing adven-

turer hwl.marie his ap►pearancee, under the assum-
ed name of Colonel Golver \-Ie made his debat

at Lady Jersey's, and gave his card to the portei,
with
,the foregoing name i.he remained there a
considerable time, and on retiring thence, he
went to the above-named Noble-Earl's., where he
gained admission also a similar passport, a card
with the same name on it. , ,

It so happened that Laventicr teas, io attend-
ance at the Noble Igrakl's, and in the course of the
evening, as he %VHS walking romula.e rooms, ao-
ei:letwdly cast his eye on gay sni-disant
whom he had often seen Lefore, and think-
ing, most justly, that he was not a proper guest
for such a mansion, he felt-it his duty to imortrt

the Noble Bail that he was apprehensive an im-
proper 'Character had by some means introduced
kiinselt: into the room; lie was iminediately ap-
plied to for his name, and instantly gave in the,
above, on which it appeared the Noble Earl knew
no such person. He, was accordingly desired, to-
withdraw,, and,/so much indignation,. prevailed
antong'several of the company at so impudent an
intrusion and imposition, that they advised at very
severe chastisement. 'rhe Noble Carl, however,
desired nothing might, he done without due consi•
deration, and he was delivered over to the custody
of Lavender,' who took him to his Lordship's
library, and there locked him up.
Lavender advised sending hitn trf the Watch-•
house, and to take him before a Magistrate in the
morning as an impostor t but, after considerable
consideration, the feeling and hunianity of the
Noble llost subdued the sentiments of resen:nvnt
expressed by mai:y of his guests, and it was. at
length determined he .o.lollhl be no further Tn.
Dished than-by being kicked oat of the house,
which "was literally inflicted upon "him.
Not long after he was "gone some of Lady Jer-
sey's servants came to the Noble and said
that. Colonel. Guwer had been at ter La lys.iiip4x,
anti liati stolen :pc elegant and valnable silver
ink
stand ; and When the news was made known to
the company, an lIIIIVCTStiI regret was expres,ed
at not having followed Lavender's advice.
Next morning the Noble Earl, on going into
the Library, found a silver loh,stand, tinder hits
chair, which, mi inquiry, tinmed out to he the
saute taken front Lady J's house.
From that (One Lavender has been constantly
on the Inok•ont for this self. created Colonel at
all public places, but never could catch a glimpse
of hint till Thursday night at the Musquer.ittle,
when happening to hear him speak, he recognized
his voice, and taking off his mask without cere-
mony, he found he had winged his bird.
The Pt ironer was remanded for a fortnight, to
give time to convey information to Lady jersey,
who is in the country, and the Noble Earl, that
the ;counterfeit Colonel is tit safe custody, and
awaits their iletermination as to his future fortune.
