street; Mr. Nutting, ditto, of Oxford-street ; Mr. Evrard, ditto, sc
Great Marlborough-street ; Mr. Dodd, ditto, of Berner's-street;
and Mr. Delveau, ditto, of Conduit-street. These Gentlemen stated
that the prisoner, in conjunction with a Mrs. Saunders, obtained
harps from them worth from 65 to 120 guineas each, on bills at long
dates, which as yet had months to run, and which they now found
would be dishonoured.
Mr. Ittwuuson regretted such was the ingenuity used by the
swindlerrthat he could not render them any assistance. He, how.
ever, would remand him till Wednesday, on the charge of Mr.
Green, of Oxford•street, fruiterer, as a false pretence was established
in his case, in desiring the bill to be sent to an Uninhabited house,
on Ct

Letters from Port-au-Prince (Hayti) of the 27th of
October, state that everything is tranquil there.—The
alarm of invasion *has subsided, and the season for the
crops very favourable.
Accounts from Tangiers, of the 27th of October,
state, that a Sardinian vessel having arrived there, the
Paella had sent the crew on shore, and put tea Moorish
soldiers on board. The English Consul, who f(,r
the present acted as Consul for Sardinia, had taken
down the Sardinian colours. The Pacha, in excuse
for this act of violence, said, that the Emperor of
MOROCCO had declared that he allowed Sardinia only
six months to send an Ambassador, or a Consul in-
' vested with full powers, and when that time was expired
he could no longer recognise Sardinia as a friendly
State. That time had elapsed, and the Moorish Govern-
ment would no longer recognise the Sardinian flag.
—An American corvette, of twenty-four guns, had put
in there on the 6th of the month, and as soon as the
Captain had come on shore, he went, accompanied by
the Consul of his nation, to she Castle, to treat with the
Pacha for the embarkation of VALnaz, MERCOMCINI,
and others of the revokers of Tarifa. The Pacha had,
however, not acceded to the wishes of the Americans,
Ind the latter had sailed for Gibraltar.
An agreement has been entered into by the Brazilian
Agents at Hambnrgh and the Government of Meck-
lenburgh, whereby the latter is to be at liberty to send
its convicts to the Brazils.
A small coin of the reign of the Emperor Gratian,
was lately dug up in Jessop's Somerset House Nursery
Garden,-Cheltenham. On one side is a head of are
'Emperor, and on the edge are characteis now scarcely
discernible; on the obverse side is a Roman Galley,
surmounted by the word " Virtus."
Thursday last an Inquest was held at Attleburgh, by
Charles Bringloe, Gest. Coroner, on the body of a
new-born female bastard child. The Jury brought in
a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Sarah James,
the mother.
I LANYON CROMLECH.—This celebrated stone, which
'was blown down in October, 1815, from its ancient
situation, near Penzance, and which weighs about 13
tons, was replaced on the 10th inst. by the united and
indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant Goldsmith and
Captain Giddy, with the aid of ehe materials and ma-
chinery employed in replacing the Logan Rock.
EEL CATCHING.— This is a fine amusement during
the frosty weather, on the Loch of Kilconquhar, in
Fifeshire, and is very much resorted to by the people of
the village and neighbourhood. The mode which they
'have adopted to catch them is somewhat singular, and
perhaps may be interesting to some of our Readers. A
number of circular holes are cut in the ice, of about
one foot in diameter, to which the eels flock in vast
numbers. Whether they are induced thither to taste the
fresh air, or to admire the phenomena in their glassy
canopy, we cannot say. While they are reeling abcut
in the open space, the marksman aims his fOrked spear,
and transfixes, at one dart, seldom less than two of
these aqueous animals, weighing upwards of one pound
and a half.
