LONDON IN SEPTEMBER.

Every one you meet at this time of the year seems to
shirk being seen, avoids you as he would a Dun; or the mater
of ceremonies at a watering place ; and if you stop him- he
drawls about the dullness of town, and declares that he is
only passing through on his way to his shooting quarters.
Now, it is all very fine to descant upon the emptiness of
London, but the fact is, there are of railway directors alone at
present in town sufficient to people a moderate metropolis ;
and the exertions of the tradespeople augur no diminution of
their habitual business, The front of Barry's shop in Picca-
dilly, still teems with piles of those costly luxurief which
would make even Quintin Matsy's misers loose their pur'e-
strings, and scarce any of those fairy-like fabrics which
abound in his shop are to be found tbere on the following
day. Amongst his most recent importations is a writing
table, on which lie all appliances anxl Means for authorship or
correspondence—and all this looks " stationary" enough, to
borrow a time honoured few de mots, but in the middle a por-
tion of the table is lifted up and reveals an elegant jardiniere.
Then he has numbers of pnytecpix poignards set with stones,
ivory- carved prayer books, with miniatures of characters,
whose praise has been hymned in sacred tong, and although
all of these things come from abroad, they are eaoi and ..11
designed by Barry himself, so that people who abhor buying
foreign goods msy have the satisfaction of reflecting that
they are encouraging native talent. Of Browne's magnifi-
cent collection of marbles, paintings, and articles of vertu, of
every size and description, it behoves us again to ape, and
again to recommend our rssders to visit his splendid reposi-
tory of-works of art; and we tame this opportunity of renew-
ing our exhortations to them to drive ;fp and pass a morning
in University-street, lest the advice which we gave them on
this subject some weeks since should have paved yoliceded
during the bustle and hurry of the waning seasofl. Mr.
Browne's establishment is the storehouse of art ; every
country and every age since the time of Phidias and
Praxiteles has furnished its quota towards this superb
collection. The chefs d'oeuvre of art seem to have
assembled here by mutual agreements, in order to enable the
" artists in stone" (as Bulwer says), and other more perish-
able materials, to improve their tastes by the contemplation of
these accumulated beauties.

We shall hardly be accused of descending from the sublime
to the ridiculous, if we pass on in re vestlar:a, and take a
turn round Doudney'a show-rooms in Bond-street or the Bur,
fington-arcade. The Doudttey Brothers are indeed "Arcades
Ambo", themselves, and have done well to take up their abode
irl 911 Arcadian quarter, instead of wasting their well-cut coats
and quaint variety of waistcoats upon the desert air of Loni-.
bard-street. • Their short cloaks, with the wide sleeves, are
snaking a great sensation, and Tl. Pct winter we shall see all the
best-dressed man of the day encasing their persons in thesk,
graceful garments, They have already reeeivsti the meed of
royal approbation, but their merits and utility will do have
for securing the general adoption, even, than the illustrious
patronage which they enjoy. Meantime, Dondney's confrere,
or perhaps we siltould say competitor, Becker ain4, the Schnei-
der of the Rue Neuva des .Petits Champs, is not Lad
exercises his inventive powers to the utmost in designing
new fashions for the fastidious Parisians. The pants jaunes
Who. flaunt and flicker about the Boulevards and Bois de
Boulogne are mostly indebted to Becker aine for their gay
attire, and he rarely fails in pleasing even the niast exigeant
and fastidious of his customers, The habit of paying tal:ars„
which had long fallen into desuetude in Paris, has of late
been revived in this ever-changing camelion gape!,
and the prospect-of payment has filled Becker with inspira-
tions which far sum pass his previous unpaid proceedings,
Paris, with all its pleasantries, makes time so gallop withal.
that it is absolutely necessary to have a good clock or watch
to note the iiciting hours; now, M. Capt, of the Rue d'Alger,
can supply this necessary appendage as well, perhaps better'
than his horological colleagitee, and certainly none can com-
pete with him in cheapness. M. Capt does not rely upon his
flighty countrymen for obtaining that aseufaay la his time-
piece which bas secured for him such wide-spread fartia, Lut
trusts entirely to hie workmen at Geneva, where he has an
extensive establishment, in which strict attention is paid to
all the details of the most minuta incbanism.—Post.

GREAT SEiZURE of CONTRABAND

GOODS.

A very large seizure has becti made by Mr. G. Scanlon and
Mr. D. CI Watson, searchers of the C,1.44411)5, and Mr. C. At-
kinson Davis, an extremely vigilant and active officer, acting
under them for the last few days. In consequence inflow*.
tion received by Davis that a vast number of Roman cameo,*
for brooches, and a large quantity of French mosaic work had
been passed without payment of the ditty, the officers pro-
ceeded to the house of a person who called himself Beauvot
David, in the City-road, a stone-merchant, and after a plight
search, found on the premises 1,610 cameos, of the vales of
1,400/., several enamel portraits, mosaic brooches, &c., to the
amount in value of 290/, They seized the goods for non-
payment of duty, amounting to the sum of 323/. 10d. Id , very
much to the discomfiture of Mr. David,
They afterwards proceeded, following up the Won/Wien,
to the house of a person named Marvi, whom they knew to
be a constant passenger in steamers between Boulogne and
London, and who resides near Golden-square, where they
made a seizure of 73 cameos, of the value, duty included, of
200/. 18s. Upon further and more particular search they
found in the possession of Marvi certain documents, the exa-
mination of which induced them to visit the house of a person
of the name of Creutzer, in Middleton-.tree, Clerkenwell.
Tfiev had riot gape far in the gratification or their cariosity
in this place, before they laid their hands upon cameos which
were considered, including the duty, to bo worth 1,864/.
Upon the premises of the first=aarited contraband dealer
they laid their hands upon the boxes its Riliieh the above-
mentioned articles had been smuggled over, and open ivies •
tioning Mr. Creutzer and the man who styled himself BeaugGt
David, and who it appeafed has also the name of Coppa, and
was in charge of the premties iu which the cameos were
found. the latter stated that ate", kt 4 been delivered to him
by an unknown agent. The mania aiiisWeir N 7.1.0 Oven by Mr.
Creutzer and Mr. Marvi, and all three ieere Avi4l9o/ in
the same state of preparation, in case of emergency. •
One of the racers, in rumaging Mr. Creutzer's private
transactions, pulled out A day-book, which had been kept
only since February last, and 34 the middle of the book were
entries of goods which Creutzer hatlllle4vel to the amount
of 214,000 francs, which had been brought Ilii4 h ept ody
without payment of duty, as was palpable from the fact ins*
lie could only produce bills and receipts for the payment of
duty on such goods as had been seized to the value of the
paltry sum of 10/.
If may be supposed that the officers examined the
of Me, Ceentzer with no small degree of curiosity. After a
little white they perceived an entry which led them to the
house of a very well-kntWP. And dashing jewellery concern
in Cornhill, where they laid their 4nhanowed hands upon
73 cameos, set in gold, of the value of about 2601,
The officers are proceeding with an unerring scent, and
their ~,fte.wa will, it is believed, be enormous.

of 23s 3d to 23s 6d per cwt, still the home trade
operate with caution. Rape Oil has been sold to some
extent, pale at 36s to :36s 6d, and brown 35s to 35s tkl.
Cocoa Nut is wanted„ and prices are fully as high as last
quoted. In Palm several purchases have been made pri-
vately, and prices rule firm. Olive Oil has-been in lively
request, and prices are advancing.
TALLOW.—The market has a firm appearance for all de •
scriptions of Tallow, the stock is still less than for some
veers, whilst the consumption is much greater; still prices
rule wider those of 1844 at this time. Russian has been in
extensive request on the spot for town and country consump-
tion, and the rates paid are a shade above those previously
quoted. Home made Tallow has been in excellent request.
All other kinds have been sold with more freedom, and
stiffer rates are paid.
