MAJOR-GENERAL SIR HENRY TORRENS. ---
Last week it was understood, that Sir HENRI
TORRENS was about to visit Derry, his native city,
and in a few hours after the intimation was received
it was agreed by a number of the most respectable
inhabitants to invite their highly distinguish-
ed fellow-citizens to a public dinner, as a mark
of their approbation of his public and pri-
vate worth, and the many acts of attention and
kindness conferred by Sir H. TORRENS on persons
connected with Londonderry. Upwards of two
hundred names already appear on the subscription
paper, and we find that Sir Henry has been plt as-
ed to accept of the invitation.—(Derry Journal.)
APPREHENSION OP MR. fIiRVEY.-About the
period of the dissolution of Parliament, a young
man of gentlemanly appearance, and of elegant
manners, 'travelled in the West of En-gland in a
carriage and four, under the assumed name of
Harvey, and stated every where that he was going
to offer himself as a candidate for one of the
Cornwall boroughs, varying the name of the bo-
rough as it suited his purpose. In his progress
he introduced himself to a number rof country
Bankers, to whom he stated the object he had in
view, observing that nothing was to he done
without plenty of money at borough elections,
and producing at the same time letters of credit
front Bankers in London, with whom they were
connected. These letters were forget ies. Many
of the Banker's, acting with caution, declined
crediting this impostor, but with others he was
too successful. He is reported to have netted by
his fraudulent representations upwards of 20,0001.
The numerous frauds be had committed being sooni
afterwards discovered, be was traced to have
sailed for France, where pursuit was made after
him, but without effect. Application being made
by the parties most interested to Lord Castlereagh,
he wrote to the British Envoys ands Consols
abroad on the subject. Information was also dis-
patched to Bankers on the Cont inent. These
various measures were attended with the desired
effect. The culprit was ultimately discovered at
Turin, in the disguise of a servant ; and, accord-
ing to information which reached.townon.Friday,
he was on his way to 'England, untie*c a proper
escort. Property to the amount of 18,000/. is
said to have been found upon him. We are told
that he is related to a Member of the House of
Commons.

PoLica.—The attention of our Magirrates,
and the activity of our Police, has been manifested

this week, by the doors of our prison being thrown
wide open, not a cell being occupied, or a prisoner
under examination; this was the case on Friday,
and we trusr that the circumstance is an harbinger
of better and more prosperous times. %ire hope
that we shall have frequent occasion to record
such a proof of the peaceable and orderly conduct
of our townsmen.— (Birmingham Herald, Au-
gust 22.)

Sir GERARD NOEL gave a true old English gala
on the PRINCE REGENT'S Birth-day, to his Rut-
land Tenantry awl the Gentry of the neigh-
bourhood, in Exton Park, to which nearly
three hundred persons were invited. On the
extensive piece of water a sailing match took place,
and on its banks were erected Indian huts, formed
of the sprouts of pines. The amusements of the

day, were followed by a ball at night in the hoe.
pitabie mansion.

Thursday rather a novel sight attracted the at•

tendon of many of the inhabitants of Gloucester,
nothing less than a youthful couple. (the Gentle-
man not 21, and the Lady only 16) making the
hest of their way to the Blacksmith's lodge, at
Gretna-green. They arrived about 10 o'clock,
and incautiously waited breakfast, but had the
start of papa, who, with two legal assistants,
pistols, &c. came into the town. at eleven, and
immediately proceeded on the north-road ; near
Kidderminster he came in view of the fugitives,
and ultimately overtook thew, when the capture
was made; and about eleven at night, the pretty
dears were brought to Gloucester on their return
to the neighbourhood of Taunton, there to meet
the frowns of mamma and two maiden aunts,—
Delightful Misery!—(Doncaster, Bfc. 8;e. Gazette,
Aug. 21.)

HoBBERY.—On Saturday morning the servant
at the house at Colonel Bi ND. of Cultisiresm
lßegi►nent of Foot Guaids, corner of Straitord-
plac•e, having lett the area gate open, anti the
sash of the kitchen window up, whilst he went on
some temporary business about the towti, a thief

REPORT ON :fHE LICENSING SYSTEM.

(Ortlered Gy the House of Commons to be printed, June 5,1818.)

Your Committee having had a petition referred
to them, which was presented to the House by
certain Magistrates of the county of Surrey, COM'
phitling of aspersions on their characters by evi-
dence taken before your Committee, during the
la'st Session of Parliament, proceeded to hear the
parties themselves ; and having so done, they feel
it their duty to declare,, that they consider the
Magistrates as exempt' from all blame. Mr. Whit-
burn may have a right to censure the party of
whom he bought the house in question, but the
conduct of the Magistrates stands • unimpeached ;
they acted according to their long-declared inten-
tion, and deprived a public-house of a license, nu-
der the opinion that a power which is annually
put in execution was entrusted to them by law.
Your Committee retrain front again generally
discussing the licensing question ; they refer to
the First Report of last year, in which they en-
deavoured to demonstrate how the law really
stands, as well as the practice which has arisen
Out of it ; the cases of hardship and most unwar-
rantable interference on the part of a diviskin of
the Middlesex Magistrates, which are detailed in
the evidence annexed to this Report, fully satisfy
your Committee of the necessity of legislative re-
wetly ; and they trust this question, important as
it is to the property of thousands, and above all
to the morals of the poorer classes of society, will
be brought before the con iideration of Parliament
tally in the ensuing Session.
