enormous length and thickness, and part of it he had woven in.
long strings and brought them over his forehead, where, the,
were tied together in an ingenious manner, the rest of his bh
hanging behind in one huge mass. His beard had also grows:,
a great length.
He saluted the Magistrate with a dignified bow on apprnad„
ing the table, and on being asked his name by Mr. liiclintuta4
the Clerk, he answered " Prince 51.Naughten..
It appeared that some of the troops had a field-day on Tas.eir,
in Hyde Park, and the defendant placed himself in Not 4

torian powers as In drown that of the Colonel in command 344

field, and have a right to give the commend." lie denied strays
the soldier.

Mr. Hatt.s--I must require you, Sir, to give bail.
.Defendant—Bail, Sir ! Oh dear no ; bail is out of the queries.
A Peer of the Realm cannot be called on for bait; I will plate
my honour, which of course will be sufficient.
Mr. Hattesa—Very well, Sir: then you will have the gor!,.
nets to retire with that gentleman (pointing to the jailer).
He bowed and retired willingly. He was committed to ee
Muse of Correction; and Mr. Hams directed that he 5h06.1

seven or eight %flung sprigs of fashion apprehent:ed by the get.
dians of the night, on charges of ringing bells and pulling elf it
kneelers of the doors in Park-lane, and breaking watchmen
boxes, together with assaulting them. The nanses of the pris
charged were concealed, they having been allowed to give ties

A PANTRY ROBBER !—Yesterday William Timmins was chrli
at I latton-Garden Office, with breaking open the houses of
BARNARD, of Prospect Cottage, Islington, and of Ur. GILL, of
John-street, Back-road, I.lington : from the former he stoics
Bitch of bacon, a large piece of cheese, some butter, broad, &.
from the other he carried off a meat-pie, a gooseberry-pie, sal
other provisions—the whole of which be had concealed in a coo
tiguous field, where it was found by a watchman, who appro
heeded the prisoner white tasting a part of his ill-gotten store
Ile was ordered for re-examination, several other houses la the
neighbourhood having lately received visits of the above kind.

At Exeter Castle, on Friday, Mrs. Ilayman, a Lady
of great respectability at Topsham, was fined in the
mitigated penalty of twenty pounds, on the prosecu.
tion of an exciseman, for having some si.irits, charged
as smuggled, found in her h.mse. It scents, that the
dealer who sends out spirits to his customers, without
a paper permit, is fineable, and the purchaser who
receives it, without such permit, or who does not keep
that permit as long as he keeps the spirit, to protect
it and himself, is liable to have such spirits taken
from him, to be branded as a smuggler, fined, or sent
to prison, and so forth.

TO A GREAT MANUFACTURER,
IN ST. GEORGE'S-FIELDS.
I sing not of heroic ire,
A humbler willing theme I choose;
I sing of what you all admire,
I sing—and help me every Muse—
Of Turner's Dye for blacking shoes.
Its quialitiei unequali'd shine,
Both high and low this Blacking use,
Ile ranks the first in all his line.
Many indulge the fond conceit,
That rich attire will credit bring;
But far more polish'd they, and near,
Who use the Blacking that I sing.
Gay as the lark in blooming spring,
The youth and maid will then appear,
Because from Turner's polishing;
Their boots and shoes shine bright and clear.
Most highly favour'd sure is he,
Who by the shining of his boot,
Charms the fair damsel, so that she
Coyly accepts his modest suit.
And happy the man beyond dispute
Who found this potent way to charm,
And whilst he glosses shoe or boot,
Can keep the leather free from harm.
Turner, the lustre of your art
Gives real brilliance to your name,
Though aiming not at bead or heart,
Yet yo is is sure a pelisled fame.
Well may the master vea'd complain,
If on his shoes the lustre's lacking,
Turner—have you forgot the name ?
You know I order'd Blacking.
What wretched mixture have you brought?
Will this keep out the rain or snow?
You knoWsit is not words a groat,
And common sense must tell you so:
Give me the Blacking that wilkibile,
