his friend Attorney PIERCB-AiM, applied for the
office of Jack Ketch, but-he, Was refused for want

et-tech-lawn by stating io him there was tit strong
probability that the office won't!. be shortly abo-.
fished, ms a new and iogeniOus'Utode of doing the
business was then under consid.eration—the new
process Consisted in stnothering 'culprits with the
unsold Old Tiuies Ne!vappers,ye:damped—tho pa

this also had disappeated,- width& scite was mat k-,

I then bent my ...olitary %v-ay towards the City,:
and turned as it were hyinstlnct into the Lot4noti,
COFFEE.-House, on, Ludgate;hill; but instead of
meeting there, as usual, my numerous bosines
friends from Manchester and Glasgow, the Cof-
fee-room was Occupied by tWo.or three as mi-
serable objects as any„that ba.ve been relieved,
by the Meudicity Society ; idi the bar was a
miserable old woman, who was frying Short
links of sausagas, deer ,a broken tureen of
charcoal, which filled *the room with a nau-
seous and suffocating vapour„—in the person
of this wretched female I recognized my once
lovely, misguided townswoman, Anne Flodder,

Editor, is at the rate of about one degree in every

Greenwich to cOnsat the Aim-boomer Royal ; -1

I %%ill mkt site calculation,. and tell you the -pa-

%Vhilst the calculation was Making, I fell into
a train of melancholy reflections, on the scenes
of devastation . and misrule I had just quitted.
Can it ,te possible, thotight I, that Englishmen,
can have fallen into Si) degenerate a state as
to permit' Such Things ? At this moment, there
was a violent rapping at, lite door ; l called
out lustily, who is there,? • it is only me, said
Thomas, the clock has struck seven, and 1
have brought your hot water to shave, and the
coachman desited me to ask when you would•have
the carriage at the door. I jumped up, and in-
stead of being in the Transit-room of the Royal
Observatory—to my inexpressible joy, I 'found
myself in my own bed-room—and my superfine
blue coat, and buckskins exactly as I left there
the night before.--I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
AN OLD COMMON COUNCILMAN.
