" Oh! that mine enemy had written a book."
SlR—Observing in your Paper, that a certain mys-
terious Book is announced as shortly to appear, I am
anxious to learn if it is truly so. We have been so
often amused and abused by reports of this Book's
forthcoming, that I cannot help doubting.
It is a "consummation devoutly to be wiplied" by
the British Public, and, I should think, by all parties.
I am_going, for the next three months, to bury my-
self amongst the mountains of Woks : even there they
have acquireor the habit of shaping their manners by
the Court, and as this Book may afford them much
wholesome instruction, should be glad to know it it
will be out in time for me to carry it down.
Besides, Mr. Editor (and forgive the garrullity of
AR old man, upon whose head the same number of
'winters have shed their snows as upon that of his
ei-iong-loved GEORGE the Third), I am tremblingly
alive for the honour of that noble House, which is
recorded in our annals hand-in-hand with Great Bri.
fain; sharing the same fortunes—evincing the same
dauntless. courage, honour, and integrity.
Unused to write for the public eye (in truth, hardly
f'sble to do more than copy my borrowed sermons),
ion must excuse inaccurate diction ; I am toe old
mow either to alter my way: or opinions, and I still
isgree with the Poet whom every Welchman admires
(my old friend, GRAY), that
" The Star of Biturtswicx shines serene;"
and gallantly as the great Duke fell on the field of
battle, so will his descendants meet and refute every
calumny.
Should this meet the eye of the secret ponester of
" things unutterable," -I hope he may be induced to
relieve my suspense, by saying when the Book will
appear. Your troublesome well-wisher,

Upwardsuf £20.00 have been already subscribed
fit Glasgow for the Russian Sufferers.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who has taken up his
'' Adence, for four months, at his princely chateau, in
Jerby shire, commenced a series of entertainments
tlast week. All the neighbouring Nobility, particularly
"the family of Lord SCARSDALE, were invited.
DUEL PREVENTED.—Mr. M. a medical man, and
an Adjutant of a matching regiment, met yesterday,
;:'adjoining the Regency Park, to settle a dispute in an
hen.urabk way. Two constables received them at
the appointed spot, and they were held in securities
to keep the peace.
PEDESTRIAN ism.—Mr. Jameson, a noted pedestrian,
undertook, yesterday, for a wager of 50 guineas, to
Igo on the Bath road ten miles in one hour. He did
the first four miles in 24. minutes, but he was ten se-
Atonds over the half hour doing five'miles. He lost
,time in every succeeding mile, and he had performed
sine miles and a half only when the hour expired.
A youth of the name of George, 16 years of age,
iwas kille • yesterday morning, in Oxford-street, by
being jerked off the telegraph of a coach. He pitched
,on his head, and never moved after.
1 A fire broke out at a small house occupied by
Mrs. Moulder, a laundress, in Bennet's-rents, New-
ington.road, on Monday night, occasioned by some
'linen taking fire. A girl, 13 years old, WAS so much
burnt in making her escape, that she expired the next
'day, having suffered the most excruciating agony.
Last week two children in Aberdeen, a boy and
,irl, were burnt, by their clothes catching fire. The
,oy died almost immediately. The girl survives, but
'in a very dangerous state.
1 Monday se'nnight, while two men were employed
f.
in boring a stone at a quarry called the Dancing
Cairn, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, part of the
bank, being loosened by the thaw after a severe frost,
(gave way with some of the solid rock, and falling
upon them, crushed them very severely. One of
tem, in partictilar, had his thigh broke and his skull
, and was otherwise so extensively injured,
after being carried to the hospital, he died next
iy, leaving a wife and numerous young family in
testitute circumstances. The other man, although
' ly hurt, is now in a promising way of re-

:overy.
A melancholy circumstance occurred a few days
ice, at Mill Hall, near Aylestord :—Mr. Spong
laving. returned from the Quarter Sessions at Maid-
stone, in his one-horse chi. le, gave the servant (a
young man, about 19), as usual, the reins at his door:
the youth, it appears, was- afterwards so imprudent
s to venture into the river Medway adjoining, for
e purpose of washing the horse and chaise, when,
shocking to relate, the animal and himself were driven
!down the river by the current, and both drowned._
The horse was found in an upright posture, and the
young
man picked up at some distance below where
e catastrophe happened.
Sunday se'nnight a carriage-horse, while harnessing
in George-street, Limerick, having been bit by a dog,
got restive, and further enraged by the trappings of
the harness, -the animal galloped furiously down
George-street into Bridge-street, where an endea-
vour was made to check 'his career by P. Kennedy;
but so outrageous`had the animal become, that rais-
ing itself on its hind-feet,, it struck the unfortunate
1 man with his fore-feet on the chest) and almost in-
atantaneous death was the result.

'

quiries, he learnt that a West-country barge,
pieces of timber hanging to the. sterol. had that day
gone up the River. 'The clerk followed the barge to
Chertsey, where, ascertaining that such timber was
that of which he was in search, he took all the per-
sons then navigating the barge into custody ; and
strong suspicion attaching to John Littleworth, an-
otherof the bargemen, who had left the barge at
Kingston and not returned, pursuit was immediately
made after him, and he was taken into custody near
Windsor, when he endeavoured to account for the
timber by stating, that he had bought it of a water-
man for a pound-note.
A number of witnesses were examined, who proved
the property to belong to the prosecutors, and of its
being fastened to the barge with the knowledge of
the prisoner; but as it did not appear that the rest of
the crew were fraudulently concerned, but only guilty
of great negligence and inattention in suffering the
timber to be so fastened, without its :ging regularly
entered in the bill of lading, or charge thereof given
to the captain of the barge, the Counsel for the pro-
secution declined to press the case further against
them ; and the Jury found the prisoner Littleworth
guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners.
The Court sentenced Littleworth to be transported
for seven years, and the Chairman then admonished
the other prisoners to profit by,iiihat they had that
day witnessed.

A true Bill has been found, by. the Grand Jury of
Middlesex, against Elizabeth Alden, for bigamy, she
being charged with having married the late General
R. Bowles, in the life time of her first husband, H.
Alden, from whom, we understand, she had obtained
a divorce according to the laws of Scotland.
At Marlborough-street Felice Office, on Tuesday,
two men, df the names of Johnson and Keep, were held
to bail for assaulting an elderly Gentleman and his
daughter, on Monday evening. The defendants pre-
tended they knew the young Lady, and behaved with
much audacity, and struck the Gentleman.
Yesterday J. Cook, alias Clarison, underwent ano-
ther examination, at Bow-street, charged with ut-
tering a forged draft for upwards of £lOO, to Mr.
Cooper, of Bond-street. A sluipman of the prosecu-
tor, who could fully identify the prisoner, being indis-
posed in the country, the prisoner was committed for
further exam'*.ition.—S. Simmons was charged by
Nichols, an officer, with attempting to commit divers
felonies. Nichols stated, that at ihe time the com-
pany were coming rout of Drury-lane Theatre, on
Wednesday night, he saw the prisoner, in company
with a Well known thief, attempting to rob several
Gentlemen in Brydges-street. He was ordered to
be detained, for the purpose of convicting him as a
reputed thief.—Several hackney coachmen have been
lately convicted in penalties for being absent from their
coaches at the Theatres, and imposing upon the com-
pany, by asking. them were they were going, and de-
manding extortionate sums for carrying them.
On Monday, at a General Quarter Sessions of the
Borough of Plymouth, the Mate of a coaster, and a
Custom-house-officer, were tried on an indictment for
stealing seven gallons of brandy. After a long hear-
ing, they were found Guilty, and sentenced by the
Court to seven years transportation.
Monday, at the City of Oxford Sessions, a person
calling himself John Davison, of gentlemanly ap-
pearance and manners, was tried and convicted be-
fore 1). E. TAUNTON, Esq. Recorder of Oxford, for
having in his custody one set 0, two so, and two £l,
forged Bank of England notes, without being able to
assign or prove any lawful cause or excuse. The pri-.
soner was charged with the offence at Birmingham,
but escaped from the officers of justice. He was pur-
sued by the constables from thence to Oxford, where
they traced him to the Cross Inn in the Cornmarket,
and took him into custody, and on searching him they
found the above forged notes wrapped up in a brown
paper parcel, with two blank forged Leicester bank-
notes for iel each, not filled up or signed, and also
several counterfeit 3s. tokens. The charges being
satisfactorily proved, the Court sentenced him to be
trassported for fourteen years. The prisoner proved
to be Captain Davidson, who was convicted in the
year 1809 of stealing a quantity of muslin at Taun-
ton, in Somersetshire, and who was sentenced to be
transported for seven years, but he had obtained par-
don on condition of transporting himself for the re-
mainder of that term.
A few (-Lys since the pantry of Lord SAYE and
SELF was entered, and robbed of several articles of
valuable plate, from the door of tke house in Berkley-
street, Manchester-square,being imprudently left open.
MURDER, Ikc.—A rape and murder was commit-
ted on the body of a young woman, named Hannah'
Leatham, in the service .of Mr. Jackson, of Brignal,
near Greta Bridge, on New Year's Day. She had
been sent an errand to Barnardcastle, which place
she left about five o'clock in the evening, on her way
home. her body was found next morning, about
two miles from that town, on the road to the High-
street (a road Much frequented) with her head
nearly cut from hec body. A Coroner's Inquest re-
turned a verdict of Rape and Murder against some
person or persons unknovtn. Several men have been
taken up on suspicion, but nothing satisfactory has
been proved.
An inhabitant of the town of Marybottugh, named
Keating, having discovered that an attempt had been
made to break open his house, concluded that-they
had been interrupted in their work, and would come
again. He accordingly shut up his house all day, as
it he had left it, and kept guard inside. As he anti.
cipated, they returned on the night of Thursday se'n-
night, and attempted to break it open with an iron
crow ; on which Keating, who was well prepared,
shot the robber, who immediately dropped; He had
no accomplice; and was immediately brought to the
gaol, which is near to Keating's house, where he ex-
pired next morning. He proved to be a man of the
game of kiolandflortrade a tailor.

In an inland town, certain Publicans, whdie home-
brewed ale was considered passing good, lately took ,
advantage of the reputation of their " Malt," to raise
it from 6d. to Bd. a quart, without deigning to assign
any reason, but their good pleasure. For three days
these publicans did not draw off even a solitary ftint
they were literally deserted. '1 he consequence was,
that early on the fourth day, they sent the town crier
round to notify the old rate ! If the pubic would act
in the same manner in the Metropolis, the effect
might be correspondent.
The harbour at Newhaven was, a few days since,'
literally alive with fish, which occasioned all the nets
in the place to be put in immediate requisition, and
several lots of herrings were, in consequence, taken
some distance up the river, nigh to Sleeper's Hole,
before they could return to the sea.
The herrings have not yet abandoned the shores of
Sussex ; they are still caught in great abundance, to
the no small surprise of the fishermen, the oldest of
whom does not recollect a similar instance to have
occurred. On Saturday and Monday some thousands
of very fine fish, taken at but a very small distance
from the land, were brought in L-y the Seaford boats,
and sold at very low prices.

WALSH'S COLTSFOOT LOZENGES.--.
Toselago was the name given to Coltsfoot by the antlents
who knew its value in Coughs, &s. It is prepared in the form
of Lozenge, as the most agreeable to palate; and also, that by
its gradually dissolving in the mouth, may with more certainty
be conveyed to the parts affected. These Lozenges are deeb.
struent, &urgent, and lubricating, alloying the tickling sensation
which occasions Coughing, clearing the voice, and producing the
most salutary effects—if used as a preventative, few persons will
be troubled with Coughs through the winter, and their price
places them within the reach of all ranks of people.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. John Linley, Selby, Yorkshire.
I have much pleasure in communicating to
the Put* the great benefit that I have received from the I
prepared her& and the Oxymel of Sttamonium. My cough was.
so violent that I could get no rest, am!, was often afraid to Ue
down for fear of being suffJcated; what I expectorated was with
great difficulty, and very offensive, but found no relief till I took
the herb and the Oxymel of Stramoniam, purchased at Mr. Pres-
ton Hornby's,Chentist,in York, which gave me immediate re-
lief, and before I finished one packet of the Stranionium and
one bottle of the Oxymel, my cough wa, quite removed, the spit-
ting much abated, and have ever since been perfectly easy, and
am now in a good state of health.

" Oh! that mine enemy had written a book."
SlR—Observing in your Paper, that a certain mys-
terious Book is announced as shortly to appear, I am

often amused and abused by reports of this Book's
forthcoming, that I cannot help doubting.
