ARREST OF THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK
ON SUSPICION OF BEING ONE OF THE
SWELL MOB.
Most of our readers are aware of the extensive rob•
bery committed at Preston on Monday sennight,
during the celebration of the Guild, by a party of SIO•
complished swindlers, who succeeded in introducing
themselves to Mr. Marquis, of Accrington, and easing
Ehhangloafnsovereigns. In
thein Bankevening
f
of the Thursday following, a dashingly-attired fo-
hdisnopz3sl:eant-brk,
reigner entered one of the hotels in that town, and
103cosoltinreinigng
called fer a pint of wine, tendering a 51. Bank of
England note in payment. The waiter having heard
a description of the persons by whom the robbery of
Mr. Marquis had been effected, fancied that the per-
sonal appearance of the strange guest tallied
with that of one of the parties implicated
in the theft ; and this supposition was con-
verted into almost absolute certainty when
the former withdrew from his purse • a note
of the identical bank whose promissory obli-
gations constituted the bulk of the stolen property.
Fired with the supposed discovery, he comrnutucated
his suspicions to the proprietor of the hotel, who eon-
supmast e

its
occupant by the collar, and after stating the nature
of the charge against him, blandly desired the favour
of his company to the station-house. Words are
wanting to describe the mingled air .of rage and asto-
nishment with which the " strange gentleman" re •
ceived this intimation,, and its accompanying infringe-
ment of personal liberty. For some moments he
seemed deprived of utterance, but at length his tongue
resumedits office, when, in terms of indignation and
disdain, he haughtily repelled the charge, declaring
himself to be' no less a personage than the Duke of
Brunswick. .This avowal, however, was disregarded
by the policeman and his abettors, who considered it
a mere artifice resorted to in the hope of overawing
them; and in spite of his earnest protest against such
proceeding, dragged him to the police-office, a dig_
tance of from four to five hundred yards, a crowd
of persons following, attracted by the rumoured
detection of one of the scoundrels by whom Mr. Mar-
quis had been plundered. On arriving there, the
stranger reiterated his former declaration, and in proof'
of his assertions referred to the owner of the mansion
where he had taken up his stay, and alsil-to several dis-
tinguished individuals whom he named. On inquiry
this statement proved correct, and his Serene High-
ness, after being literally overwhelmed with apolo-
gies and protestations of regret for the blunder which
had placed him in so awkward a predicament, took
his departure, accompanied by Baron Andlau, his
equerry, who reached the station-house at the moment
of his royal master's liberation. The Prince, we under'
stand, has since received from Samuel Horrocki, Esq.,
the Mayor of Preston, a most handsome apology for
the unintentional affront, with which his highness has
expressed himself satisfied, and thus ends the matter.
The festival of the Guild exhibited many sights worthy
of special commemoration ; but the spectacle of a de-
posed ruler, allied to the most illustrious reigning;
families of Europe, being dragged to a police-office on
a charge of pocket picking is, we may safely ax.sert,
without parallel.—Lancaster Guardian.

LOWERING OF RENT.
The following acknowledgment appears as an ad-
vertisement in the Limerick Chronicle, and should be
transcribed into all other papers, as an .admonition to
landlords to go and do likewise. Mr. Monsell does
the thing well. Here is no rack-rent reserved in his
lease—no temporary indulgence granted with a view
to a future haul ; but a permanent abatement is made
which will make his tenants " comfortable during
their lives." Mr. Monsen is a Tory, and, if all
Tories were as honest as he is, Sir Robert Peel might
open the ports to- morrow :
" PUBLIC TuArms.—We, the undermentioned
tenants, on the estates of Kildonnell and Balleymar-
martin, the property of 'William Monsen, Esq., of
Tervoe, do hereby return our most sincere thanks to
our kind landlord above named, for the liberal abate-
ment he has been pleased to give us in the rents of
our respective farms, which amounts to the one-fourth
thereof, and which act of generosity we consider will
render us comfortable during our respective lives, for
which we and our families will for ever pray for his,
welfare here and hereafter.
" For selves and the other tenants,
JOUN HARE,

CHRISTIANA, SEPT. 9.—The motion relative to the
permission for Jews to reside in Norway, has been
rejected by the Storthing. It is true that 51 mem-

tion involving a change in the Constitution, which re-
quires two-thirds of the votes, it was, of course, lost.
