TONId Mils DUNCAN appeared at this Theatre to
great advantage in Beicc..2r and Char Ave Rufport, in
CUM AERLAN well-written Comedy The May/ indiair.
-Of the flue of ailing of thefe two performers in
fuch charaElers as the above, we have nothing new
to oblerve. Mifs MELLON was interefling in Louifa
Dedley, though fornetimcs n little atfeEied in her de-
portment. JOHNSTONE'S illqjcs. Ruherty is an ad-
mirable piece of afting.
Black legs have muttered very (song in the arects
fince the thaw.

Ye[fertility morning the body of a genteelly d,effcci
young woman was found, on the thawing of the ice,
in the bafon in the Green Park. She proves to be a
niece to a publican in Piccadilly, whole houfe the
left ahout a seek fince, and was not heard of till yef-
terday morning. The body was conveyed to St.
James's Work-houfe for the Coroner's Inquett.
Yefterday, at Bow-(beet, 70i,, P;:cher was charged
by Mary Pais with having recel-ed from her one
chilling and fLeence, v r an inforance with him of
No. 77, for halt-a-guinea for the 22d day's drawing
in Mr. Holland's lottery, or Little-Go. The prifoner
was convifted in the penalty of t ocl. under the Little-
Go Aft, which not being able to pay, he was com-
mitted to the Houfe of Correftion for thrce months.
Monday morning a fire broke out in the lint houfe
of Mrs. Ruffel, at Maiditone, which wa:, extinguithed
by the aflive exertions of the offic..:rs and privates of
the Royal Bucks, previous to the at rival of the engines.
A perfon, in the neighbourhood of Egremont, had
his left arm ten ibly thattered by the bunting of his
gun, whim firing at tome birds, on Chriftmas-day.
Monday evening a fire broke out in a liable belong-
ing to Mr. MILB&NK, at Little Waltham, Eitex by
which two hmles were deftroyed. The bottle of" Mr.
BROWN, nearly adjoining, and a blackfmith's (hop,
were much damaged.
The footpads who have lately robbed a number of
perfons near Clapham and Stockwell, and on the
Croydon road, (fill purfue their depredations, in eon.
fequence of which a large party of patroles are (la.
tioned in that quarter.

The following method has in two inflances beert
fuccefsful in extra Ling a pin from the throat when it
had been accidentally fwallowed. The fart cafe is
very recent :—A young woman of the name of Bry.
ant, a rnantua-maker of Chippenham (from the impro-
per cuttom of plating pins into her mouth) 'aft week
(wallowed one, which Ituck in the lower part of her
throat. A profeflional gentleman being called in, he
placed the patient with her head bent back over the
back of a chair, an egg was then broken, and the
contents poured down her throat; previous to this
procefs, an inftruntent was prepared, which is called
profeffionally a probang, but which is nothing more
than a piece of fponge, fattened to :he end of a tmootls
and (lender piece of whalebone, about half a yard
long ; this intlrument, in the moment :hat the patient
endeavoured to fwallow the contents of the afore-
mentioned egg, was forced with a quick heady hand
down the throat into the floniach, ar..l brought
the pin Ricking in the fponge.
A meeting of bankers, conveyancers, publifhers of
newfpapers, infuranee brokers, 1 artery-office•kcepers,
and others interefted in the purchafe and confumption
of (tamp paper, in Scotland, has been held at Edin-
burgh, at which it has been refolved to apply to the
Lords of the Treafury for the eflablifliment of an
office at Edinburgh, for [tamping paper for Scotland.
The application is founded on the 4th and 6th articles
of the Treaty of Union, by which it is declared, that
the fttbjeds of the United Kingdom; fhould be en-
titled to a communication of all rights, privileges
and advantages which did or might belong to the
fubje&s of either kingdom ; and that all parts of the
United Kingdom thould be entitled to the fame al-
lowances, encouragements and drawbacks. By the
prefent mode of proceeding, by which paper is al-
lowed to be Ramped only in London, the confumers
of Ramps in Scotland are fuhjed, it is alledged, to
great and various inconveniences, and to contikto a-
' ble erpence ; Earticularly the bank and hankers, v ha
mutt run the rifle of parcels of their notes being loft
or Roles in the courfe cf tranfrnialon ; and newt--
paper printers, tee. who mull bear the expence of
carriage, and of infuring their property to and from
London and mutt either attend themfelves o pay
an agent in London for tranfading their but-In:is.—
In this way, not only are the rights, privilege: and
advantages enjoyed in England not communicated
to Scotland, but alfo the allowances, encouragements
and drawbacks are not made equally to apply to
both countries. From there confiderations, and alto
from the circumtlance of Scotland having firpreme
Courts of law, and boards of Cullom: and Excife,
it is argued that the, equally with Ireland, ought to
have a board of Stamps alfo ; which would certainly
have been eßablithed in Scotland, at the time of the
Union, as well as the other Boards, had Ramp duties
then exiaed in that part cf the kingdom.
