This forenoon we received Turin Papers to the 23d
ult. and Frankfort Journals to the 27th. An article
from Trieste states, that several young men, Dutch,

adds, on the authority of private letters, that the
Turks had certainly abandoned the Morea, in conse-
quence not of defeat, but of being unable to get
provisions.

The Duke of CLARENCR is remaining at his re,;.
dence in Bushy Park. The Duke and Duchess almost
daily take extended rides round the delightful neigh-
bourhood, mostly in an open carriage, and on othiT
occasions his Royal Highness becomes the luinwe
pedestrian. He frequently walks to Hampton Goa
Palace, to Hampton, &c. and he returns the obeisances
of those who may recognise him,whilepedestrianising,
with much condescension. He generally attends the
Subscription Ball held at the large tavern near the
Palace: on one occasion the Duchess accompanied
the Duke, but on that evening the ball-room was so
'crowded that the Duchess has not ventured since.

A publican of Birmingham was, on Saturday lAt,
fined in the mitigated penalties of pl 2. 10s. each, on two in-
formations, for mixing strong beer with small or table-beer. The
Statute on which he was convicted is the 42d George 111.
which enacts, that Neither the victualler nor common brewer
shall mix strong beer, or strong worts ,lung with table-beer or
table-beer worts; or by so doing he 5h..11 incur the penalty of
£50." It appears by this Act that the Victualler cannot :•,.
allowed to mix strong with` table-beer, in the same measure, f-r
the supply of a customer; but that a person asking fur mixed
drink must be served in two separate measures !

A young Englishman while at Naples was intrc,
duced at an assembly of one of the first Ladies by a
Neapolitan Gentleman. While he was there his snuff-
box was stolen from him. The next day, being at
another house, he saw a person taking snuff out of his
box. He ran to his friend—" There," said he, " taut
man in blue, with gold embroidery, is taking snuff out
of the box stolen from me yesterday. Do you know
him? Is he not a sharper ?" " Take care," said
the other, " that man is of the first quality." "I do
not care for his quality," said the Englishman, " I
must have my snuff-box again; I'll go and ask him
for it." 44 Pray," said his friend, 64 be quiet and leave
it to me to get back your box." Upon this assurance
the Engli'hman went away, after inviting his fi lend
to dine with him the next day. He accordingly came.
and as he entered, " There," said he, " I have brougl.:
you your snuff-b Ox." " Well, how did) ou obtain it:
"Why," said the Neapolitan Nobleman, "1 did not
wish to make any noise about it, therefore I picked
his pocket of it."—Ditten's Memoirs.

MONTE Dl PIETA.—This is an establishment at
Rome which has existed ever since the year 15 5. It
is certainly the greatest pawnbroker's shop in the
world, and in its kind one of the noblest charities.
Any person that brings a pawn may borrow from s ,-
pence to 30 crowus without paying any interest, but
all that is lent above that sum pays after the 'rate of
two per cent. per annuni. At the end of the year the
borrower may renew, which is done without any ex-
pense ; but at the end of two years, if the
-pledge be
not redeemed, nor interest of the money paid, the
pledge is sold, and the overplus of the debt is laid by
fOr the owner, who has it in his power to demand it
at any time within 100 years.
