In the course of the en-m=i7ts of the Coldstream
Guards on Friday last, at the Pigeon-house, nubile, for Liverpool,
a gross fraud was discovered, attempted to be practised by one of tin
ousters of the vessels. It appears that the cutters employed are
those %Neely engaged as the sailing packets between Dublin and
Liverpool, and that on 'occasions such' as this they are exclusively
chartered by the ,Navy Board, for the -,enveyance of troops.
.liter the men had been embarked; 'and' just as the vessels were
getting under weigh, it was ascertained that metal the masters had
received money from seven! pram &enures few their passagb, add

Some time ago a young Lady of the ftrstrespectability,
residing in Baket;street," Portman-square, was unfortunate annoyth
to attract the admiration of a man whose addresses the could not
possibly give ear to. On Monday evening the yOung Lady, having
dined at the house of a friend,inGloncesner-placeorras returning hame
at a little after ten o'clock,ittendedmaly by a fesoole domestic ; her
discarded suitor made his appearance, accompanied by another per.
an, kith inebriated. The young Lady bad at the moment entered
Portman.square, when she received a rude embrace frost ocse of
the Bacchanals, whilst the other endeavoured to takathe same
lien}, with the servant, who repelled the intruder with i thrust of
as umbrella, which extracted two of his front teeth; but seeing the
'"une Lady still struggling with her drunken assailant, this modern
Amazonian, by a powerful_ blow, induced him to let go kis bold.
The young Lady fainted, and the two fellows immediately turned
the whole weight of their fury against the woman. Witk.,a bar-
barity unparalleled, they knocked her down; and, wh, at length
