MARLBOROUGH-Silt EE T.

FRA 13L—Ye•terday information was given at this office of the
following audacious frauti,committed on Thursday last, at the house
of a Gentlein in named Clough, No. 4!, Berners-street, Oxford-
street, which it is important the Public should be guarded against,
as it is believed not to be a solitary instance of the kind. Thursday
morning a well dressed middle aged man, having the appearance !
of a Gentleman, of short stature, with particularly thick eye-brown,'
dark visage, and pale complexion, knocked at the door of Mr.
Clough, and said that he perceived, by a bill in the window, a
suit of apartments were to be let. He was infornied that they were,
and on takings view of theta, be inquired the rent, &c. expressed
his entire approbation of them, and agreed to take them. He took
out bia pocket-book, and offered to pay a deposit, remarking, " I
have lately returned from Somersetshire, and have only Bristol and
Bath notes." He presented a Bath and Bristol note for M. No.
497, purporting to be of the bankiug house of Matthew I lobbouse
41:41 Cs. and sail," you can give nie a pound or two, and keep the
remainder." Ile received a sovereign, and took leave, promising
to come and take possession of the lodgings in a day or two. Mr.
Clough did not discover that the note was a forgery till ionic hours
afterwards, when he di-covered tint no such firm ever had existed.
The piste frmi which the note is printed is well executed. An ac-
tive officer of this establishment is in pursuit of the delinquent.

The King of BAVARIA has dieso'ved the cornmi4t
sion appointed by his late NIAJIC,TY, for the ame.
Notation of 11. e legislation of that country, and nomi.
nited another, under the Presidency of the Minister de
Ze:art4en, who is reputed to be the principal framer of
the Cglnstitutional Charer.

ROYAL. ACADEMY.-Mr. GREEN, tt e Professor, de-
livered his second Lecture Thursday evening. Th:s
Lecture WAS upon the Skeleton, and he with great
judgment avoided descending to a minute and technical
detail of the parts, which can never be learnt at a
public lecture, but spoke of the purposes of the bones
in their general classifications, and pointed out the as-
tonishing intelligence which appeared in the construc-
tion of the skeleton, and in the complete adaptation of
tiro bones individually, and of their construction when
placed together, to the uses for which they were intended.
MELANCHnLY CATASTROPHL—A melancholy and
distressing occurrence took place on board one of the
packet ships, on her recent voyage from Liverpool to
New York. Whilst on her way thither, she met with
another packet-vessel coming from New York to Li-
verpool. The inquiries usually made on such occa-
sions st ere interchanged ; and amongst other intelli-
gence, the failure of a n main& house of some emi-
nence in America was mentioned. The communication
was observed to produce a sensible and instantaneous ef-
fect on a Gentleman who was going out to New York as
a passenger, and it afterwards appeared that he was one
of the partners of the house in question. So afflicting a
circamstance could not fail to excite a deep feeling of
commiseration in the breasts of his fellow-passengers,
who endeavoured, as far as possible, to soften and
alleviate the anguish occasioned by a communication
so abrupt and distressing. The next morning, when the
cabin-party assembled to breakfast, the Gentleman did
not appear amongst them as usual; and, on the steward's
entering the state-room to edit him, he was not to be
found, but a short note was left on the dressing-table,
requesting the Captain not to persevere in an unavailingl
search for him ! !
