BOW-STREET.

Two respectable Gentlemen were brought to the Office by Mr.
Cope, one of the City 31.irshals, on a warrant obtained on the ap-
plication of Air. Freshfield, the Bank Solicitor, charging them with
cunsuiring to commit a fraud. After some conversation between
the detentiants and the Magistrate, the former were suffered to go
at large, upon a simple promise to attend this day at one o'clock.
Janus Ruwe, a driver of short stage coaches, was ordered to pay
a fine of Jet?, and costs, for cruelty to his horses, and was committed
to prison till the tine be paid.
Johnson, the informer, again preferred complaints against several
licensed victuallers for keeping open their houses at improper hours,
and they were all fined in mitigated penalties, except one poor
woman, named Tooke, the landlady of a public house in White
Lion-street, Seven Dials, who said; her husband's affairs had gone
entirely to ruin. He was obliged to fly into the country to avoid a
prison, the brewer had refused to supply any more beer, and she
had nut had any spirits for some time but what she purchased by
the gallon. The defendant produced a bill of sale, and said the whole
of the effects were to be sold off in a few days.
Mr. BFCICIT asked if it was a brewer's house?

Mrs. Tooke—No, Sir ; it is a free house—it has been for some
time in Chancery, which has played the deuce with the property.
Mr. HAILS—In Chancery ! And that you call a free house, do
you ?—( A loud laugh.)
Johnson said he was not aware of the poor woman's circum-
stances, or he would not have summoned her, and he should with-
draw the information.—The defendant was discharged.
Friday evening last, a woman of very mean appearance, called
at the Red Lion public-house, at the village of Hillingdon, Mid-
dlesex, and asked for a glass of ale, part of which she gave to a
little girl, who was with her. A few minutes after she left the
Red Lion, she sent the child into a neighbouring shop with a penny
to buy a cake, and was herself seen no more. The child, on lea v-
ing the shop, looked about for the woman, but could not find her,
and went crying back to the Red Lion. The landlord humanely
took care of her for the night, and the next day took her to the
Parish Officers, who, on questioning the child, felt a stroog con-
viction that the woman who deserted her was not her mother, and
that she belonged to parents of a much superior cast. They there-
fore directed the landlord to keep the child for the present, instead
of sending it to the workhouse, and to give information at Bow-
street, and have the child advertised. The landlord attended here
yesterday with the child for that purpose. She appeared co be
between three and four years old, and was dressed in a rough
brown pelisse or coat, and a drab beaver hat. She speaks tolerably
fur her age, and the landlord states that after each meal she requests
to have her hands and face washed, and kneels down and prays as
well as she is able, before getting into bed.
THAMES POLICE.

4 Paul and IV. Ewer, labourers, were convicted in the penalty
of £3O, or to be kept three weeks at the tread-mill, for having in
their possession 4 lbs. of copper, purloined from on board the Olive,
lying off Hore's Wharf.

A meeting of farmers was held last week at Nor-
wich, for the purpose of re-establishing an Agricultural
Association in that county, to protect the landed in-
terest against the threatened repeal of the Corn Laws.
A naval hero who, some time in the present cen-
tury, captured a valuab'e Island with a small squadron
of frigates, possessed a fine strapping monkey, which
he sometimes placed at table as a guest; at other times
it was his pleasure to array him in the uniform of. a
Captain, which always delighted Pug, and made him
to all appearance a polished Gentleman (an effect some-
times produced on men by the dignified conduct of
their superiors); he touched his cocked hat when an
Officer appeared on deck, and invariably w.ilked the
weather side, imitating the enquiring look of the Officer
of the watch, and often putting his paw above his eyes
to facilitate his examining whether the sails were well
trimmed, and the wea.her braces and boWlines hauled

taught; if Prig perceived a rope-yarn dangling any
where aloft, or a rope's end over the edge of a top, his
agitation became extreme, he chattered, stamped, and
scolded worse than a X ntippe, and never ceased until
his orders were obeyed, when he again resumed his
stately walk, eyeing with triumphant malignity the
midshipmen who were compelled to pace the rea side,
in the draught of the mizen stay-sail. Some idea was
entertained of rating Pug an able seaman, since he
could go aloft, reef and furl, heave the lead, and take
the wheel: the intention was abandoned, for Pug de-
lighted to heave the lighter lead, and enjoyed to see it
sink into the clear deep sea, but he would never call
the fathoms correctly, and often refused to haul up the
lead Ire had cast; his conduct at the wheel was equally
unworthy of trust, for though he would put it a star-
board or to port, as the Quarter Master conning the
ship ordered, and look with a knowing eye at the com-
pass, yet he would now and then take a freak into his
head, and before the other helmsmen could stop him,
either bring the ship t-s the wind, or keep her away,
and then scamper off, chattering and pleased with the
hustle he created. •

A wealthy Cit, grown rich by trade, had as usual re-
tired to the country, determined to enjoy the otium
con diewitate of Cicero. His mansion was furnished in
all the splendour his long purse could purchase ; hut
the brilli.nt furniture was a source of continual anxiety
to him, and was, except on high days and holidays,
euvel, ped in triple folds of brown holland bags and
covers. His beautiful marble chimney-piece; were,
however, a perpetual source of trouble, lest the fire-
irons shoild chip them. One day he invited his neigh-
blurs to behold the gorgeous display, and sitting after
dinner round the fife, one of them unconsciously leaned
his head against the chimney-piece. The fears of our
host at first evaporated in testlessness and apparent dis-
comfort, but a repeti:ion of the offence could not be
_withstood, and he cried aloud, 4. Sir, I'll thank you
not to lean your head against the chimney-piece, you'll
chip it."
