The following is the Critique of Dr. Busby, (from the
Monthly Magazine, November, 1816) :—"The selected Melo-
dies have been chosen with care and judgment, and new
Music has been composed for many of the Psalms, by the
first Composers in the Sister Island ; and no expense spared
to render the Publication elegant, useful and gratifying ;
many beautifull traits of sweetly-solemn Air, and ably-fabri-
cated Hariumry, fill and adorn the pages ; and the aggre-
gate Collection constitutes a valuable body of Sacred
Music."

The Publisher of the " Melodia Sacra most respectfully
begs leave to recommend the following Psalm Tunes to the
attention of such Ladies and Gentlemen as will be pleased to.

MOSF EX "PENSIVE EN‘qITE FORGERIES.

BOW-STREET —Saturday ;afternoon a most im-
portant. investigatifin.took place before RIC 41 ARD
BtaNtg, Esq. respectin:! forgeries to an enormous
,mouttt, supposed to be committed by a Gentle-
man of iiigh• cousiderarou in the trading and
nieicantite world. On Friday infortnation was
received by the worthy Magistrate ahove named
of several forg.eries, but of one definitively, moat
he accordingly directed W. Bond to go (Armed
with proper authority) in pursuit of. the Gentle-
man who was suspected to have committed the
offence. This Gentleman (for we understand
former habits and pursuits ntitle him to that ap-
pellation), was fount' by Bond seated in a Kentish
Town stage, near St iples inn, he having made an
appointment to dine with a friend at Kentish
'Town. The Officer, with every fen ling of kind
ness towards the unfortunate Gentleman, column
ideated his •errand with all possible delicacy to
him, and conveyed 'him to the Office, where he
iincteitaysot a cut sory examination before M. BIR
Nita, during which time he kept one Or his hands
in his coat near his breast, and the worthy Ma-
gistrate conceiving that he either was meditating
self destruction, or was anxious to destroy instru-
ments which he knew would appear in a criminal
shape against him, ordered the officer to take him
omit and search his person niligently ; this was
done, and in one of his pockets was found a knife
fully calculated to effect that which Mr. BIRNIa
had contemplated. Upon this occasion the charges
against the prisoner were only of a suslicious na-
ture, there being no positive or tangible proof
against him ; he was accordingly remanded for
examination. Mr. BIRNIE, however, with that
precaution which always guides him, made it im-
perative upon the officer to cause the prisoner to
be watched most narrowly during the whole of
the night. This order was strictly complied with
by Bond, who stated that his captive had expe-
rienced a most restless night, and he felt it his
duty to take from him his neckerchief's, and.evei y
article likely to assist him in the horrid act of
suicide. The documents found upon him had, in
the interim, undergone an investigation, and the
result was, that long before the prisoner's re-exa-
mination, John Elwes, Esq. son of the late eccen-
tric and parsimonious Gentleman of that name,
appeared,.and, being asked by Mr. BIRNXE it he
had been in the habit of accepting bills for large
amounts, said, to the best of his recollection, lie
had not, in the whole course of his life, accepted
more than two.
Shortly after three o'clock the accusing parties
had arrived, and the prisoner was brought in and
placed at the bar. fie is a fine athletic man, ex-
tremely well-dressed and powdered. lie was placed
at the bar, and, upon seeing Mr. Elwe3, appeared
rather affected by his presence; he immediately
leaue4 head upon his ham!, and vomit-tried in
that posture during the greater pail of the exa-

mination. He answered to the name of Mr. Adams;
and it appears that his name is Balthazar Adam•,
residing at Beaulieu, near Southampton ; he has
been an emi►►ent ship-builder, and is stated to have
built several 74 gun-ships, and has, it would seem,
heretofore possessed character and means, which

have entitled him to the best consideration of some
of the first people in the metropolis. Indeed Mr.
Snow•, oft he banking-house of Snow and E'aul, upon
whom he is supposed to have forged to the amount
cf 19001. stated that he had been upon intimate
terms with them for these last 20 years.

Mr. G. Johnson, of the firm of Hurd and John-
son, Solicitors of the Inner Temple, stated, that he
knew the prisoner. On Friday he came to wit-
ness, and asked him to discount the Hill produced
for 2001. Witness accordingly gave him a cheque
for. 1971. 10s. upon the banking house of Messrs
Gosling and Sharpe, deducting the ditferenct.
(21. 10s.) for the discount. The cheque pro-
duced was the one he gaVe the prisoner.—The
.bill was nearly as follow::
" BEAULIEUi SEPT. 1.-,0900: Two months after date, pay
to my order in London, two hundred pounds for value re-
ceived. ." B. ADAMS."
"To Messrs, Charles Brook and Co., Southampton. Ac-
cepted at Messrs. Williams and Co.'s. bankers, London.
Charles Brooks and Cu., accepted fur Self and Co.

_ .
" ROBERT SNow."
The above was proved to be a forgery.

W. Bond, belonging to ibis office, stated that

be took the prisoner into custody on Friday after-
noon, and he found upon
.hitn the pocket-hook
produced, with its contents ; and in his pocket he
found a fire-pound and a few other notes. The
fire-pound note was proved to be one of those
given
_in payment of the checquF, and the con-
tents of the pocket-hook Were chiefly other bills
of exchange, ready for negorid lion, which amount-
ed to between 3 and 40001., among which were
two upon " George Elwes, Esq." High-street..
Mary•le-bone; which were shewn to that Gentle-
man, who pronounced them forgeries.
'nitre were two others upon Messrs. Snow and
Co., one for 10001. and another for 7001.

Mr. Snow.-1L•. Adams, will you till us what
you have done with the other monies ? '
Prisoner.—No ; I do not choose to tell you.

Me. litatsuF..—Mr. Adams, if von have any thing
say I should be happy to hear it ; I do not at
he saute time wish you to say a word if you are
tot inclined—perhaps it would be more humane
n me to recommend you not to say any. thing.
Mr. Adams.-1 thank you, Sir ;I du not wish
;(r) say any thing.
Mr.BIRNIE then sated to him that he felt it
tis duty to apprise Lim, as he did all persons placed
n a similar situation, that the Sessions were very
tear at hand., and if he was anxious to procure
egal assistance, be ought to lose no time in ob-
4tining it.

lie was then fnlly committed to Nes,vgate for
rial.—(Sunday Paper.)

DUTIES on IMPORTS at BUENOS AYRES.

(FROM,THI3 BUE& S AsirtFS GAZETTE OF JUNE 4 )

OFFICIAL DECREE

Department of State, June 3..
In order to support the numerous charges upon
the State, the funds of which have been applied
tfirct our political emakicipation, while the
arms of the enemy have intruded into our most
,prodsictivc provinces ; and t ith the wish to p
'-off,as soon possible the national debt, increased
by the generosity of Ike• intiabosto,s; also to avoid
as far as may be the evil of hest C;mtributions
for these purposes, on the 13tbrot January, in the
last year, I carried Iwo opertik.ion the duties nib
imports which are no*v imposedyadowing tl►e.ge-
netal system, as to their collection, which has
been resorted w by the most_pOlished natio, s of
I';t rope, and ii.corporating with the arrangeinenta
the judicious provisions of the decree of thu '29t.b
o! March, of the same year, as to !nitrite bilis, dud
the 8 per rent. reduction in the Bth article of that
decree ; (this diminution js favour of iViru.riertti.
merchants, by whore ossistance the piddle hills -
were put in circulation.) Notwithstanding-foes%
prudent and moderate regulations, conform.ahle
k%ith equity and justice, considerable clamoor has
been raised `against' the exorbitancy of the duties,
the.complainants not attending to the urgent- ne-
cessity which required them, in the form of an in-.
direct contribution, extending to all classes of,
consumers, and miler this false pretext of exor.
hitancy, a contraband trade has been carried on,
in defiance of all the precautions that have been
introduced to pt event it.

Under these circnmstances, to promote the in-
crease and prospet ity of commerce, and to re-
move every obstacle to its 'success, I have detur-
mined on a very large reduction in the dillies of
imports; and have informed the Custoin-t►ouse of
the capital of the same, which is to take effect'
from the present time, under_the subsequent con-f
ditions

1. The payment of the duties is to be made, two-third parts •
in money, and one-third part in public bills; modifying this
payment by the first article of the Decree of the 29th of
Nlarch, 1817.
2. The Custonf-bouse is to receive for these two third parts
of the duty, all such of the public brills as have been issued
by tier Supreme Government, on which is expressed on the
face of Unlit that. they are to be current instead of cash.
3. Credit for the duties is to be given to the importers, on
taking possession of the goods, 20 days for the half amount,
and 40 days for the remainder.
4. For the security of the State, the Custom-house Officers •
are to have a guarantee, satisfactory to them, which is to be
required without distinction of persons.
5. This article provides for the mode of payment, when the •
importer neglects the discharge of the duties.
6. The 8 per cent, granted under the Bth article of the De-
cree of the 29th of March, in favour of the natives of South
America, is reduced to 4 per cent. ; and also nth respect to
others to whom the saute favour waa extended.
