Mecklenburgh Consulate,..l2l,lknchurch-strett, July 6, 1523..
IC light to ley betore.you, for the in.
for mation (tithe Subscribers, the following communi-
cation, received from a very respectable quarter, dated
Rostock, 27th 'June : .
A very scandalous transaction has Ins been dis-
covered here. A merchant of Wismar, of the name of
. J. E. Engel, caused to be chartered hero, through Mr.
M. Bendfeldt, the ship Dorothea Regina, to load woos
for London ; and Captain Jurgens, of this place, was
-appointed to the command of her. Eighty bales of
wcol accordingly arrived, and were shipped; but the
• cargo not being completed therewith, rarer respectable
Rostock houses were induced to ship their goods by her.
The bills of liding for this wool were signed on the
14411 instant ; and it is said that Engel has drawn 64001:
on account theteof. But, on stowing away the. woe lin
• the vessel, one of the bales burst, attd was found to con=
.tain nothing but the offal .of a 001, hay,straw,dung, stones,
and other filth. Mr. Bendfelt immediately on this dis-
tosery, issued a circulAr, requesting every merchant to
•advise his friends in llamburgh, London, &c. of the
• .frand, in order to avoid further m'schief: Engel has
'been arrested here.; and it is reported he has confessed
that the supercargo, who was to go in the vessel, and
whose name is Itnloff, was to have bort d and sunk her:
This scheme is, however, completely I; ustrated, and the
Underwriters have escaped a heavy loss. Captain Jur.
sens and his mate made the discovery. Kolar is
likewise in clistody ; and it remains to be. seen whit
their fate will be.

the arrangement of the Post Office) are favoured with
duplicates of the letters transmitted by his Majesty's

mouth. These letters contain no political intelligence

mediately opcosite to where the fire originated the
preceding morning. Mr. W. called in the assistance of

ftorn a flue that ran into the front warehouse, the wall
of which was broken into, and the firemen being amply-
supplied with water, they quickly succeeded in p:e-
venting the fire gaining ascendancy. On Tuesday
evening, smoke was discovered .to proceed from the
house of Mr. Sm•th,_ a wonllen•drarer,, lust door to
Mr. WilsDh, ancrfOr some time the firemen could not
ascertain its cause; at length it was discoveted in a
dead flue, that ran near the staircase of Mt. Smith's

laude, and adjoins to that of Mr. Wilson. The btaii-
<tise was instantly broken down, and on forcing the
1 brick %yolk, a body of fire was discovered, but which
by the immediate eXertions of the firemen, was soon
got under.

common gamine-house. The offence charged against the defendants,
was taking from Fielder a suns of £450, on 'cos ideration of not
bringing the parties up fur inclement.
• Mr. William &affotd, Attorney for Fielder an& Aldridge,
-proved, the defendants being . prosecutors on tbe..iudietment . for
keeping a gaming-house. •
John Fielder being called into the witness boi, an objection
was taken to his competency, by Mr. Baoutanast and the Common
&warm, on the ground of his having been convicted of an
famous offence ; namely, the keeping a common gaming-house,
and conspiring to cheat and defraud. Several authotities were cited
in support of the objection.
The Loan. Cuter Joanne said, he • would take a note of the
objection, and in the meantime the evidence of. Fielder proceeded.
He produced a cheque on Ransom and Co. drawn in favour of
llollingberry; for £450, which the Bankers clerk proved having
paid; also a written agreement, signed by llollingberry, not to
bring the defendant up for judgment. The agreement was between
witness and Hullingherry, who sent for witness to cone to him at
his Chambers, in Furnisal's Inn; he proposed soot saying it would be
better for him CFielder) to pay this 'um than undergo the sentence of
the Court, of fine and imprisonment. Witness consented to give 4.501.

wards, on this and another indictment, by the Attorney -G . I,
on both of which be received judgment, viz. a fine of 30001. and
one month's imprisonment. Is now out of prison.
Mr. Comatort-Septatimr, on the part of Grant, submitted, there

Was against llollingberry only.
The Lotto Cuter Janice observed upon Hollingbet ry's being now 4
suffering imprisonment, on a former conviction for the like offence.
