KESIFIGK, OCT. 30.

The pretended Colonel Hope, in his rapid flight,
left behind him a coftly drefEng box, which was
opened laft week by a warrant from a Magiftrate.
—lt was completely furnifhed with elegant filver
toilet trinkets ; and there were two letters found in
it • one from Ballynahinch, in Ireland, and direet-
ed to Colonel Hope, from which it appeared that
he was concerned in ifome gang or other in that
unhappy country. There was likewife a cell book,
in which a memorandum was made of 12001. and
odd, having been inverted by him in the Bank of
Dimfdale and Co.• in the month of March laft.—
Nothing appeared leading to a difcovery of his real
name. But to-day poor Mary of Buttermere, ex-
amining the box more narrowly, found that it had
a double bottom ; and in the interfpace were a
number of letters addreffed to him from his wife
and children, under the name of Headfield. This
atrocious villain is therefore a bigamift, as well as
guilty of felony for attaching the name of a Mem-
ber of Parliament to a letter for the pnrpofe of a
fraud. He had endeavoured to perfuade the girl
and her mother, and nominal father, to fell their
elate, and to go altogether with him into Scot-
land ; which they refuted to do, chiefly from the
prudent fears of the old man. Ppor Mary is the
objeft of univerfal concern.

Yefterday being like a fpring day, Bond-Itreet
was crowded between two and three o'clock with
pedeltrians,and a number of elegant carriages were
(ported.
The City Annourers are bufy in accomplithing
their Knight for the City Procelifion.

A Correfportdent hopes the good Citizens of
London will be favoured with a fight of the State
Berlin proceflion, on the gth init. with the PRICES
placed upon it.

THE Nvw LORD MAYOR'S CARRIAGE.—The
new carriage built for the LORD MAYOR, and juft
ready to be launched, is efteemed by thole who
are belt capable ofudging, one of the completeft
fpecimeni of Britilh manufaaure ever exhibited.
The body of the carriage is of a rich glazed ma-
roon colour, highly varnifhed and polifhed ; the
door-rails are emblazoned with the City Arms and
Supporters, environvd by the emblems of Peace,
Strength, and Unanimity, with other appropriate
devices. His Lordfhip's own arms are embla-
zoned within a garter on very large crimfon man-
tles, lined with filk and fur, and fupported by
branches of oak and laurel. The civic crown, hel-
met, and creft, with fuitable ornaments, are dif-
played upon the footboard. The joints are of
folid flyer, and are exquifitely rich and beautiful.
The Footmen's holders are extremely handfome,
and correfpond with the lining of the body. The
lamps are upon an entirely new principle, and
produce a very fine effea. The carriage itfelf is
of a bright fcarlet, with the principal ornaments
of gold. The colour of the lining correfponds
with the body of the carriage, and the decorations
are of gold, and prefent the happieft combination
of tafte and magnificence.
The hammer cloth is peculiarly elegant. It is
full plaited and embroidered with the City Arms
in the centre, and his Lordfhip's on the fides.—
There is a row offringe, richly ornamented with
bullion, a fpecies of decoration which imparts an
uncommon appearance of grandeur to the whole.
Above the fringe is an elegant lace, adapted to the
colour of his Lordfhip's livery ; the fame lace,
furcharged with a very rich gimp, ornaments the
top, and at the corners there are taftels, which
are beyond conception fuperb.
The harnefs is filver mounted, and ornamented
with his Lordfhip's arms and creft. The houfings
are decorated in the fame manner. The .bit is
flyer, Itudded with emboffments, containing his
Lordship's creft.
Yefterday afternoon the inhabitants of Old-ftreet
Road were fuddenly put into fome alarm by the
appearance of a fuppofed Lieutenant and a Prefs-
gang, who had proceeded from KingflaneLroad,
and flopped and queftioned a number of perfons ;
but a Police Officer happily paging at the time,
inftantly recognized one of the foremoft men as
a noted bullock-hunter, finafher, &c. and immedi-
ately taking him into cuftody, the reit of the
counterfeit gang fled in every direaion, amidft the
hides and the laughter of &samba of '
