Preparing for the Press, and soon will be published,
In Quarto, the Fifth Volume of

THE REV. DR. LINGARD'S HISTORY OF
ENGLAND.
ilia Volume will comprise the Reigns of the Sister Queens,
WRY and ELI/GAM:TH. The Reign of Mary, though short and
r..;;lorious, is not devoid of interest, and the Restoration of the
Catholic Worship, the Persecution of the Reformers, and the
Conspiracies and Insurrections of the Discontented, are subjects
which will claim and engage the attention of the Reader. The
Lag Reiga of her successor, a Reign which occupied nearly
:he half of a century, will offer to his view a succession of still
racre interesting events. He will observe the steps by which Eli-
zabeth abolished tke ancient, and introduced the reformed, hierar-
chy and worship; the severities with which sbe repressed the
iscontent of the Catholics and the intemperance of the Puritans ;
er ambiguous, and often unjustifiable, conduct towards the un-
•::-...utats.istary Stuart; her intrigues with the Scottish, French,
and Flemish religionists ; and her wars, the consequences of those
i-trigues, with their several Sovereigns; the extension of the
English commerce under her auspices ; the triumphs of the Eng-
b..ll Navy over the formidable fleets of Spain; the-successive rise
r. 41 fall of her different favourites; and the cares, the sorrows, and
Vv. despondency of her declining age. It is difficult to imagine
I.l.vjects better calculated to interest the feelings of Englishmen.
Li the composition of this Volume, the Author has carefully
tompareii t'ue narratives of preceding writers ; has perused with
reteßtion the many collections of etate papers belonging to the
trrind ; rod has frequently consulted the dispatches of the French,
the and the Imperial Ambassadors. Ile is satisfletwith
ietuit of his researches :—thty have enabled him (so at least
L flatters himself) to elucidate much that has been thought ob-
Et:se, and to discover much that has been hitherto unknown.

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. •
IN this Preparation are concentrated the Medi-
cinal Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a perfect
saturation of the Dlenstrtim with which it is prepared. To such
persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience
great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impos-
sible m prepare the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which pos.'
sesses the advantages of portability, and of keeping in any cli-
mate, will be found a most desirable mo 4 of employing this
much esteemed Medicine.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those
of the skinv such as the Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases,
Secondary Sytnptems, &c. arising from a diseased state of the
system at large. It may be taken either alone, or combined
with water, rendering it of the same strength as the Decoction.

Miar.itosibienft.-asom.eis one FRAUD.—Yesterdal
Jonathan Man, a middle-aged man, was brought up, charged by
Mary Biniky, au infirm old Lady, with defrauding her of .4"5.50
Wavy 5 Pea Cent. Annuities. The old Lady stated, that at the
time the transaction took place she lodged in the same house as
the prisoner, in Tottenham-street, and she was then.very ill in
bed, and unable to get up. The prisoner several time.s called
on her, and once went with her to the Bank to receive a divi-
dend. Sisetad afterwards said she would give him the money
at her death, meaning the interest for life, and £lOO to each
child. • Shortly after•be called on her, acct presenting a paper
partly folded down, desired her to sign it ; the complied with his
request, and asked him no questions about it, as she did not
doubt his honesty; her memory was so impaired by age, that
she could marcely remember anything. The next day be called
and gave her 0 or 25 sovereigns: she said then she did not
want so much money, but he gave it her : in a day or two after
a clerk called on her, and informed her she had made over her
property by power of attorney to the prisoner. She was sur.
prised at this : be men have imposed upon her ; she did Dee
read the paper site signed, neither had she consented to make
over her property..
Mr. John Chapman, of Ogle-street, Diary-la-borne, 'stated,
prisoner-bid seSeral times called upon him, and often stated that
an old Lady whom he knew was likely to die, and she weed
to make over her property to hint, and she wanted to establish
him in business; the witness advised him to get the money; •he
said he was diffident, but the witness believing him to be a wor-
thy and honest man, had called at his house, and there the pri-
soner informed him how he wanted his services, and read a
power of attorney, signed by Mrs. Dinghy, coareying over to
him the whole of her property. The witness, thinking it was all
right, signed it. In a day or two after, a clerk Called upon him
to know whether his name was put by him to it ; and called
upon the old Lady. The clerk then, to her astesdainnent, ex-
plained the whole business, 'adding, ust the Dripper had parti-
cularly requested to have 100 sovereigns. He had ever since
exerted himself to discover the prisoner, and hatl'ealled upon him
on this business; but the prisoner directed him to go away, as
he had nothing to do with it. lie mentioned Os him the old
Lady's case, and prisoner appointed to meet him at the Club the
next evening ; and when be got there with Mrs. Bingley, he
found the prisoner had sent in his resignation.
Joseph Dutfield proved having also, by request of prisoner,
put his name to the power of attorney.
An officer proved apprehending the.prisoner. He could not
obtain any direct answer from him as to the disposal of the
money. He found nothing.
• The prisoner, on being asked whether, he bad any questions to
put, asked Mrs. Bingley whether she had not assigned over her
property with her consent, and w,hether sfie did not wish to do so ?
-The old lady replied, No—never. I did intend at my decease
leaving the money to your three children, and you to have the
interest of it during your life-time. .
The prisoner then handed in a paper, purporting to be a re-
ceipt for the whole amount.
" The Magistrate (Mr. Ostrrten) read it, and observed, you
had better recollect yourself before you go any farther ; you are-
very deep in guilt, and I believe you are going still farther; for
the sake of your own conscience you ought to make all the repa-
ration in your power, but I don't premise yon anythlog for that.
The prisoner said, he wished the woman should be asked whe-
ther she 4id not sign the paper.
The Magistrate still hesitated, and recommended him to take
care however, without *hewing Mrs. Wrigley the paper, be
asked her whether she did sign any other paper for the prisoner
but one ?

--- -
The old lady solemnly declared she bad not : she wished to
see the said receipt, in order that she might examine it, to know
whether it was her signature.
The worthy Magistrate, however, did not permirber to welt,
and again remarked to the prisoner, that he had better pursue a
different course : he would have Borne dine fur reflectlua ; and he
then remanded hint for another examination,

Guitioratt,--The porter at the White Bone Inn, Fetter-lane,
was summoned at the instance of Roach, Rut. of Furni-
val's Inn, who stated that he was in the habit of receiving pre-
sents of game, and although he resided so short a distance, he had
invariably been charged four-pence porterage. When he called
at the office in Fetter-lane, he we/ treated very cavalierly,, and
told they were aware the sum allowed by the Statute was only
three-pence, but they always charged four-pence, even for the
shortest distance. He (Mr. Roach) thought the Public should
know how they were imposed on, and that the law allowed but
three-pence as porterage for parcels not exceeding 501bs. deli-
vered within a quarter of a mile. The book-keeper urged a long
practice of doing so, and offered to have the ground measured.
It being hinted to him that a quarter of a mile was 440 yards,
while the distance from the Ina to Mr. Roach's chambers could
be scarcely 200, he very prudently submitted, and was fined
20$. and costs, the moiety of which, due to Mr. Roach, he let/
to Alderman oat to be disposed of in his Ward.
Bow-sraerr.--Patreastariou Of lin Strinti, an
Italian, the landlord of the Star and Garter, fin. Martin's-lane,
appeared to answer the complaint of Benjamin-Ibbersan and
James Cuttermole, for permitting tippling in his house on the
evening of Sunday last, when the complainants found a Chair-
man sitting with a hammer, calling for songs and knocking.—
They heard two songs, " Polly Cox," and March Away ;"
and oa refusing to sing when the others had done so, complainants
were hissed out of the room. This uncivil treatment appeared to
be the motive for the steps they had taken. 'ljie landlord de-
nied the charge, and after calling persons who were above and
below the room where the offeoce occurred, who also denied
that there could have been singing., the hearing was postponed,
to give Mr. Striuzi the opportunity to produce some oethe per-
sons who were actually in the roots.
George Ray, a hackney-coachtnan;"%vas hued 10s. for cruelly

UNiox-Hart.—voi Nuns and Ma Farm, sawyers, were
committed to Maidstone jail for One month, charged, by Alder-
nian Atkins, with leaving their work unfinished—they had been
employed on the Alderman's estate at Halsted, in Kent.
! Quirst-sunaaa.—An old man, in a most deplorable state, was
charged with sleeping in the open air. He stated, that be bad
ben in a respectable line of business, but hadlost all his property
in trade, and had lately lived by puttering. On Monday night
a man treated him with beer, and' afterwards beat and threw
him on the fire ; in consequence of which be could not reach
home, and lay down on a step.—He was ordered to be locked
up till the truth of his story could be inquired into.
111 iry Chamberlain, a decent-looking woman, with a child in
her arms, was charged with a similar offence. She stated that
her husband had been a respectable tradesman.. but had failed;
and, unable to bear the sight of his distressed family, had eloped.
By persevering industry, she had supported them till within the
last three weeks, when being unable to pay her rent, she was
turned out of her lodgingi' and the street had been bar only re-
fuge. She had applied in vain to Mr. Thatcher, the overseer of
her parish, who had refused to listen to her story. The Meer
trate observed, she was not of the description of persons gene-
rally brought before him, and advised her again to apply to Mr.
Thatcher, and if be refused to assist her, be would grant a MI.
mons for bin appearance.
A boy, tea years old. who was found sleeping in a hollow tree
in the Park, was brought up. lie said his father, who had been
a bricklayer's labourer, died about sla weeks agn, leaving bin
destitute; since which be had subsisted by begging, and slept
every night in the said tree. The Magistrate recommended him
to the Metidicity Society.
A waggoner in the employ of Mr. Bent, coal-merchant, was

where they found him heating her with a brush, the handle of
which he broke over her head. After they took him to the
watch-house, he told them it wee his determination to Murder
her. The Magisisate ordered the defendant to find bail for did
peace for six months.

fore WIC Berserr, P.q. far stealing a nntnber of boards.
Lydia Church was led by her mother and another female
friend into the parlour, and on the appearance of the prisoner
'before her, she evinced the same agitation and distress of mini
as on Monday last. After being swore, she was asked by ,the
Magistrate if she knew any of the boards produced as those
,which were brought by the prisoner to the house near her mos,
Bier's? She looked at several of them, and exclaimed, " I know
them too well; the name ' kitchen' is written in pencil Upon
'three of the boards which he brought last Monday night week.
Her feelings were highly agitates!, and she said, " 0 take himi
'away. I cannot bear to see him." The worthy Magistrate very
;kindly endeavoured to soothe her extreme grief, and assured her
*he was not insensible to the merit of her conduct. It was proved
'by John &melt, that the three boards; with kitchen' on them
in pencil, were the property of Messrs. Lawrence and Cover.:
The prisoner was committed to Clerkenwell for trial for the
petty larceny. Lydia Church being bound over in the usual way
to appear to give evidence, she could just articulate " I will, L
will, If I shall lle then alive."
New Vaosaser Acr.—On the 2d tilt. James Skitter, driver et
a Shacklewell coach, was convicted in the penalty of £lO for.
carrying one more passenger than he had a right to do. The pc-,
nalty was not then paid, and this informer went privately to
Skitter and his wife, and persuaded them, if they would give him
£5 they should be freed from the rest of the penalty. The penalty
to the King could net be remitted, and proceedings were adoptid
by this Office to recover the whole, so that Skitter paid £l5 in-
stead of £lO, and a warrant was granted under 3 Geo. IV. c.
40. stc. 3. against the informer. Mr. Berst.i. said, it being the
first offenee, he should commit only for one month, and enquired.
if 'lemma was inclined to pay back the £5. Benwell observed,
he did not expect being committed, and he was therefore In-
clined to keep the money; but being cautioned by the Magic:
trate that he had power to send him for three months, he paid •
over the money. Mr. Brvitr, then said, in consequence of what
he had now done, and being the first offence punished under tale
Act, he would commit him for only 14 days.
Mastsoseucst-,rattler.-Yesterday a Gentleman, a resident of
Beckenham, in Kent, attended at this Office in order to procure
the assistance of an officer to search the houses of some anato-
mists at the West End of the Town, to discover whether the body '
of his father was secreted in any of them. It appeared from his
statement that the body of his father, in the course of last week,
was buried in Beckenham church-yard, which had been robbed
of several dead bodies, and among the rest that of his father was
stolen. The night the resurrection-lien performed their opera-
tions, a can, driven by some ruffianly-looking felloWs, was ob-
served on the road leading to the town of Beckenham. The?
requested the landlord of a public-house to allow his boy to mind •
the horse and cart ; they then proceeded in the direction of the
church-yard, and returned soon after with something deposited
' in sacks, supposed to be the bodies of dead persons.
The Magistrate allowed an officer to accompany the applicant
to the house of Mr. Brooks, but the body of his father could not
be found there. They afterwards went to the various dissect.
, lug-rooms at the West End of the Town, but the result has not
yet transpired.

Lismersti-sTlMlT.—Traliaat Hodges was-charged with being an
accomplice, with two other ruffians not in custody, in attempt.
ing to rob a burying-ground. Coltman, the Constable, said ht
was at Poplar watch-house yesterday morning, when J. Piper, a
watchman, informed him there were three resurrection men in
Poplar Chlpol burying-ground; in consequence, he and Piper
wait there, :ruled with pistols and cutlasses, and chased theca
for some time about the tombs. The rut& ins at length got over
the wall; tutu the garden of John Stock, Esq. where the prisonet
was *evilest, but the other two escaped. After he was lodged
in the watch-house, witness returned into the burial-ground,
and found that the bodies of a Mrs. Patusore, who died sud-
denly, and of 1). Whittaker, a pauper, were partly disinterred,
and close to the spot lay two bags, two great coats, two shawls,
a sealing-ladder, and an iron instrument for bursting open tht
coffins. Joseph Piper stated, that there had beta a suspicion
for some time back that the ground bad been robbed. He was
employed to watch the dead, and on Tuesday night he saw three
men get over the wall at the opposite side. He waited for some
time, and on witnessing them disinterring the bodies, he gave
information to Mr. Coltman. While he was employed burying
the corpse on Friday last, the prisoner helped to fill the grave,
and asked various questions about the deceased. He corrobo.
rated the testimony of Coltman in every respect. The prisoner
made a most flimsy defence, and was committed as a rogue and
vagabond, for two mouths, to hard labour in the House of
Correction.

Bra.a.sarriera—ln consequence of an anonymous letter re-
ceived at the Office, requiting the interference of the Magistrates
towards the suppression of the disgracefid scenes, such as bear
baiting, dog fighting, &c. long carried on at the house and under
the patronage of a man named Jemmy Hart, in Short's.garden-,„„ .
White's-yard, Rosemary-lane, three officers repaired ou Mon-
day night to the theatre of brutality,which on entering their ears
were deafened by the yells of the poor tortured quadrupeds, and
having arrived at the bottom of a deep winding dilapidated stair-
case,beheld a motley group, amounting to 30 or 40 persons, seated s
on benches erected against the Walls. The place was well lighted,
and upon the middle of the fiber was formed a regular pit, or
stags, on which were two mastiffs engaged in combat, the one
seconded at the 'twitch by Hart, the other by a fellow named
.Joseph Josephs, both stripped in their shirt sleeves. There were
12 or 14 other dogs tied up in a kennel close at hand, Cur the
purpose of being brought into the pit. 'llw officers not suspect-
ing that there was any means of escape except by the stairs, re-
solved to gourd that quarter, for which purpose one of them stood
sentry there,and the other two commenced capturing and gloats
(handcuffing) the parties. Josephs was the first secured ; Hart,
who contrived to make his eacape,was afterwards detected in the
water-butt, nearly up to his chin. The officers hearing (from rod
authority) that after the dog-fights, which were the first part of
the evening's amusement, were over, a bear was generally intro-
duced on the stage, after searching some time, found peer bride,
chained and muzzled, and conveyed hint, together with Hart. (his
master) and Josephs, to the watch-house, from whence they were
taken lb, UM exctpted) before MATIHIEW WYATT and JOHN lIAIb.

to hard labour for two month, in the House of Correction, and

The meal mill of Gartness, parish of Dryrnen, was
burnt on Tuesday night, the 19th inst. This is sup•
posed to be the work of incendiaries.
Tuesday morning, as Captain Sarum was riding
with a young Lady, who was on horseback, from
Chelsea tvwardslliam•biidge, the horse which the
Lady, rode took fright, in consequence of a boy who
blew a horn inside the hedge, and ran off at, full speed.
The Captain endeavoured to get before her, but could •

DERBY COUNTY ELECTION.

Monday last, the Election of a Knight to represent
.That County, in the room of the late EDWARD MILLEtt
Mutiory, Esq. took place by appointment of Niue
Gru., Esq. Wet Sheriff for the County, at the County
Hall, in Derby, when FRAwcia MUNDY, E•q. the only
candidate, appeared with a numet ous party of friends;
at the same time the doors being opened to the Pub-
lic, every I•lace affording a view of the proceedings
was occupied.
His Majesty's Writ, the Act of Parliament against
Bribery and Corruption at Elections, &c. having been
read, and the usual preliminary business gone through,
the HIGH SHERIFF addressed the Court in a neat and
appropriate introductory speech.
Sir GEORGE Cnewo then rose and proposed Mr.
Mundy, by a short and eloquent address, which was
delivered in a most impressive manner, and received
with universal satisfaction.

- -
The Hon. GREY VERNON seconded the proposition,
and, no other candidate appearing, Mr. Mundy was
declared duly elected by the Sheriff.
Mr. MusnY then came forward and addressed his
constituents with much animation and energy ; at the
conclusion of his speech the applause was loud and
reiterated. The new Member then received the warm
congratulations of his friends,and was chaired through
the principal streets of the town. In the afternoon a
large party of Freeholders dined at the Kings Head
Inn, at which the newly-elected Member presided as
Chairman, and the remainder of the day was spent
with, the utmost harmony and festivity.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

CA MBRlDGE—Tcesnmr Eviarfica.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR adjourned the polling at
three o'clock; it re-commenced at six, and continued
tin ten, when it was again adjourned till to-morrow.
The polling went on briskly during the whole day.
It is still quite impossible to form any correct idea of
the numbers polled for each candidate, but there is
little doubt that Mr. Bamcgs is considerably at the
head of this day's poll. Mr. SCARLETT is considered
second ; but it is expected that he will gain ground
to-morrow, as many Gentlemen of the Bar are yet to
come down, who will vote far him. His friends are
still sanguine in their hopes of success, but unless he
makes a great exertion to-morrow, I believe that
Mr. BA NEES will be the successful candidate. Lord
HERVEY is what may be called the popular can-
didate among the townspeople, because he is more
known to them, and because his Lordship has been
the last who has spent his money amongst them.
—He is a very young man, quite boyish in his ap-
pearance, and has taken his degree not more than a
year since. It is admitted by all parties that Mr:
SCARLET? would be the fittest person to fill the im-
portant office cf Representative of the University.—
In the course of the evening the Students in the gal-
lery, on seeing Mr. SCARLETT address a few words,
in a low tune, to the VICE-CHANCELLOR, probably
thinking he was about to make a speech, began to,'
stamp and evince sonic marks of applause, which so
displeased the Vice-CrtaNcem.oa thut he imme-
diately ordered the gallery to be cleared, and.nono
but voters were admitted for the remaining part of i
the evening. This applause was a direct violation of
the VICE-CH NCELGOR'S order. The following notice
was posted up this morning, in the Senate House: i
" person in stem poputeri ip admitted to the gallery of the
senate House but upon this implied condition, that being so ad-
mitted, he abstain from any expression of approbation or disap-
probation, and any violation of this condition will be seriously
punished. The Vice-Chpcellor further mo.st earnestly requests
from all strangers the slue forbearance from any expression of
sentisftnt on their part."
