The letter which has been received by the Gover-
nor of the. Russian Company from the British Consul
at St. Petersburgh, relative to the long talked of
Tariff, stating that orders had been received with it
at the Custom-house in that city to continue in force
the rules and regulations formed daring the unfor-
tunate d;fference between Great Britain and Russia,
and ever since acted upon, has occasioned a great
sensation amongst the Merchants in London, who have
it in contemplation to call a meeting on the occasion to
consider of the best measures to he recommended to
• Government. to procure a repeal of the Orders in
question of the Russian Government.—Mr. BAILEY,
the British Consul residing on the spot, and who
ought to be the best judge of what is likely to pro
duce the desired effect, strongly recommends that all
the rules, regulations, and Custom-house laws, esta-
blished by the Tarrf of 1811, regarding hills of
lading to order, and other points; be most strictly ad-
hered to, and that the expediency of the same be
speedily made known to the :rade.
WINDSOR, JUNE 12.—Yesterday her MAJESTY, Prin-
cesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and MARY, left the
Castle fur Ascot Race-course. They proceeded tol
the PRINCEC REGIIN TIES st Ind, where the Doke of

of the second race, her MAJESTY, the PRINCE SE!, the
Duke of Geoucarren, and suites, went in their car-
riages to Marquis CORNWALLIS'S marquee, where
there was a sumptuous collation provided. Atter they
bad partook of the refreshment, they returned to the
Rectaser's stand, and viewed the other races ; and at
the conclusion, proceeded to the PRINCE REGENT'S
cottage, where they partook of a sumptuous dinner.

MECHANIC4L CHIMNEY SWEEPING:

YeiterclaY a natherotis Meeting nf Lidies anti Qiit7.
Ilea fen was held at the Mansion•HoUse, to Contitici
nt the best meant of abolishing the priatice of Sweep:.
ing Chimnies through the industry of Days, and of
substituting, in its room, a simple Mtchanical
paratus, which would answer every purpose.
The chair was taken by the Lotto MAYOR, *wild
opened the Lusinesi of the Meeting by adverting to
the cruelty and inhimsanity which attended the pr. 6
salt practice, and the efficacious means by which it
could be obvi.tted. His Lordship had received seve-
ral letters, showing not only the infant state at which
children were employed in the unwholesome and dan-
' gerous occupatirn cf sweeping chimnies, but also the
success with which the mechanrcal substitute was ap-
plied in Scotland and elsewhere.
Mr. Time read to the Meeting the Re;:ort of tl,e
Cornmittee appointed to consider this subject. and in
an eloquent and farcible speech pointed out me-
lancholy nfliktions with which chi!dr:•n were visited
by the c Intinucice of the present p.a.:ice. He also
dwelt on the Ilistotical fact, that this practice was un- .
knows until at the ct the last clminry, and
that consequently Inechalic..l me;:us must have been
previously found cft.cttu.•l. The worthy Gertle:nan
conclad,-d by moving a g eso:ution for the establish-

ment of a mechanical system.
Sir FItANCI7 BUIiDrTT carte forward to second this
Resolution, amid great :To The Worthy Ba-
ronet declared, that he nsver performed a task with
more perfect satisfaction than be did on the present
occasion; eor seas be aware of any cptestion of more
public in:lto:mace than the removal of the evil which
they were then called to c :rider. It was one d: tr to
the cause of humanity, .rood little inferior to the great
I cpeestion of the Slave Tralle, ellich had at kneel
been set at rest. It affected that class of society t:;et
were in a state of orphanege, Friendless and neproec-
ted, under the lash of a t a,k• master ( Greet apthers.)
fee Worthy Baronet the v on eloquent picture of the
miseries ef Wants, some under font and tire years of
age, wile are consigeed to tee dreary and covet oc-
cupation of chimney-sweeping. Tice superstitions
sacrifice of children in early times, w:45 in all propor-
tion less crust than that now prevailing of consigning
them to this trade, whore they grow up in siticnets,
suffering, and depravita, until they are too big for
their business, and are then d:selissed without the
means of eatning a livelihood, and at length, per-
haps, end their days ots tie gallows. To say that
particular aim:ties required this a; placation of human
labour, was to say nothing, for the plain answer would
be, that no such ellimnies shonid be suffered to be
constructed. The state of those poor sweeps was such
that " the world was not their ft iend, nor the world's
law." Every ptit.ciple of policy, humanity, and reli-
.
ent, called for the abolition. of this base practice.--
t he worthy refronet then ably explained the sepctior
value of the machine, not nnly for cleattsitig chimnies,
but also for extitiouishing fires, for it had Leen boomd
in such cases of infinite velee, by being dipped in
water, and then applied to the tinr!. In reference to
4 recent citcumstaace (the It-es:mit:A of a boy which
had been the subject re legal inquiry et the Old Bai-
ley), the wore:). Baronet stated, that it had been at
first eis ietetition to sit bnet a motion in tle: I iteess. of
Commons on the subjt et, but he was dit,,UHLICLI
this, on the suggeseen oat the impropriety of such a
course, while the case of an indivitinai was in the
progress of legal inquiry. Bat, until some legislative
enactment could be digeoed and arranged, est wooia
recoeimend that the patisees should adopt local
regulations, and appoint in each a master chimney-
s.veeper to sup:that:ad the employment of the appa-
ratus. The expense of this course might ultimately
be repaid and rendered profitable, as in the case of
scavengers, by the sale of the soot.,—(Hear, hear.)..
He concluded by enforcing the claim of the poor
children of England to at least she same sympathy
from their countiymen as the sable sons of Africa.
The speech of the wo- thy Baronet was throughout
received with loud applause.
Several interesting Resolutions for the promotion
of this humane and eettevolent purpose were then
moved by the Hon. P. &RIM. DRUMMOND, the
Hun. Mr. EL G. Beestee, Mr. HA 1.1., Mr. Wierre,
Mr. Yousro, Mr. Ittavcitorr, Mr. Dee KPp Mr.
Virl LK. EN, Mr. FOSTER, Major- CARTWRIGHT, Dr.
Lusiitxuron, and other Gentlemen. Their general
purport was an engagement not to employ climbint
buys in future ; to do every thing in their power to
induce their connections to adopt a similar reseitnion
to promote, in their respective districts and parishesi
meetings and resolutions to abolish the present inhu-
man practice, and to apply to, Parliament for the
purpose of enforcing the objects of the Institution.
A Master Chimney Sweeper, named 13 Vdi EL, of
F.eatherston.street, made an ingenious appeal to the
Meeting, deprecating the indiscriminate censure
thrown upon the Master Chimney Sweepers, by an
assembly where all the :pokers, he observed, were on
one tide. There were, he said, bad men in every
business ; but he remarked that .the evil was in the
system which had hitherto been followed ; because
there was a necessity that chimnies should be cleansed,
and ether means were not generally known than the
cruel and inhuman one of employing chllthen. He
was, he said, as ansicus as any one could be to see a
better system introduced—nay, more so than the
greater part of the humane assemblage new occupied
in devising means for lessening or removing the
miseries and cruelties of the children—for he knew
more of the extent of the evil than all them to,
gether, and, indeed, it esas rich as called loudly on
every person of feeling end humanity, to encourage
and promote the adoption of another and a better
system.
The LORD 11/4Lsvon, in the course of the Jay, re.
peatedly promised his film co-operation in the objects
of the Meeting.
A number of Ladies And Gentlemen of the So.
ciety of Friends were present.

BLACKHEATH PEDESTRIAN.—E ATOM% performance
on Blackheath yesterday again attracted a great con.
course of spectators to witness the continuance of his
exertions, amongst whom were several sporting Gen-
tlemen, whose opinions were, that it was impossible
for him to undergo so much fatigue as he is now en-
deatouring to accomplish. This Morning, soon after
reslee ntpuracs:

that he hoped be would, in a month's time, be

LAW INTEL LIG ENCR.
COURT OF KING'S BENCtI, JUNE 11.
Ten Jurymen were this day fined by Lord ELLEN-
BOROUGH 4t)s. each for non-attendance yesterday, by
which neglect the Court had been much delayed.

This was an action on a promissory note for £725,
dated the 2thli January, 1815.
Mr. 'roPle:ro, tor the plaintiff, said, that the par-
ties had married two sistets, on the death of whose '
father the distribution of certain property was left to
the defendant as execut. r. To the proceeds on the
sale of it the plaintiff had a claim to the extent of
rii72s, for which the note in question was given. He
understood th the Jefence to be made was, that the
note was n t signed by the defendant, but a forgery
to dtAaiid him of liis prnperty. On the part of the
plaintiff, he should prove very satisfactorily the hand-
writing of Crisp, not by persons who had seen him
affix his name to this instrument, but by witnesses
who were well acquainted with his signature.
The fist tt tutcas WaS a Riau of the name of Staggs,.
who had long known the defendant, who was
plumber and glazier ; 1 e had seen him write, but not
ohm, and was positive that the promissory note was
signed by lion. The body of it WAS written by the
plaint ill.
A man of the name of Nightingale, a journeyman
carpenter, also swoi e decidedly that the name Fortu-
flatus Crisp was written by the defendant.
James Kemp, a Anus waggoner, deposed, that he
had not long sine bought property of Crisp to the
amount of about one thousand pounds ; and had re-
ceived receipts signed by him ; from a comparison of
these receipts 'and the promissery note, he was certain
that the latter was the hand wilting of defendant.
The ATToRNEY GENERAL, in cross-exaniining this
witness, put into his hand the words 66 Crisp Font'.
sratus," reversing the defendant's name, and asked
him to read it, whets, to the astonishment of all pre
sent, he said that he could not read. Being asked
how he was able then to rietke the comparison of
which he had spoken he replied that he judged from
the letters r, which • were alike in his receipts and in
the note. The promissory note was then handed to.
him, and the witness was required to point out which
were the letters r in the name of Fottunatus Crisp,
when he pointed to the letter j in the words—" for
value received," which was, in fact, the writing of
the plaintiff', and to the letter t in " Fortunatds." He
still, however, persisted that he knew the defendant's
hand writing.
The ATToRNEY GENERAL commented, in severe
terms, on the conduct of the plaintiff in this case ;
attel in consequence of some observations which fell
from his Lordship, Mr. Toproro consented to be non-
itrited.

The ATTORNEY Growler. then moved, that the
bill slwuid be impounded by his Lordship's officer,
which was ordered accordingly.

This was a criminal prosecution, brought by the
Ling, againit the defendant, for disobedience of the
orders of convoy. The defendant was Master of the
Lord Cranstoun, West Indianian, which sailed from
jam:tic:a with about two hundred merchantmen, in
May, I sil3, under convoy of three men of war. On
the 16th of June, she having run considerably to lee-
ward, a signal was made from one of the convoying
daps,' for her to bring to, which the defendant dis-
obeyed, prosecuted his voyage, and brought the ship
Louie safe, though she was deemed a heavy sailer,
and met with one or two accidents, previous to, and
atter she sailed, from, the West Indies. The Court
skas cf opinion, under all the circumstances, that it
did nut require a serious infliction of punishment, and.
titeteltne hated the defendant £lO.

ahowl..ra

Born-antairr.-6Yesterday .tareWs Smith, about 14i
or 15 Tears-of age, was charged with exposing her
naked pence in St. James's Park. It appeared that
the prisoner, in company with two other girls, rather
less than herself; about twelve o'clock, yesterday,
stripped themselvei naked on the grass by the side of
the Canal, near the Mall, and went into the Canal
to bal./ ; and when they came out ran about .upon
the' ss, and ,behaved in a very indecent manner,
boa taa to actions and language, to men and boys
who were collected in consequence. On the approach
of the constable they ran off into the Green Park,
where he secured the prisoner, but her companions
made their escape. She appeared callous to the Ma-
gistrate's remonstrances, refusing to give any account
of herself, oily that `she had no father and mother ;
the former, a soldier, had been killed in battle. A
girl, who lead followed the prisoner tc.i the Office, was
interrogated, and proved to be a companioo, although'
not one who had stripped herself. She described who
the two girls were, and froni her it was ascertained
that Smith had not slept in a house for a month past.
The Magistrate committed them both.
D. Day was charged with violently assaulting
Mary Ann Smith, with whom he cohabited. On
being ordered to find bail, he attempted, before the
Magisitate, to strangle himself by twisting his neck-
eloth as tight as he could pull it, but was prevented
by the exertions of two °dicers. He afterwards en.
deavoured to tear his jaws open. His conduct was
Altogether so violent, that it was found necessary to
pinion and iron hias ; and, on his being taken into the
strong room, he appeared to be in an hysteric fit, till
a Rood of tears rendered him calm.
Sothic; Strafford was fully committed, charged
with robbing Mr. Barnsley, of the Navy, of his watch,
in a boat at Lambeth, on Tuesday evening.
UNION HALL.—Yesterday Mr. Ireson attended to,
'state, as far as had come to his knowledge, an assault
of a desperate nature. Several soldiers belonging to
the Veteran battalion were quartered upon him, at
the Red House, Battersea, on Saturday night. Sun-
day morning he was informed there had been some
distutbance there; he went, and found Serjeant Ken.
did, of the 7th Veteran Sattali.m, deeadt tally wounded
in several parts of his body, 'yin in bed; he caused
him to be removed to York hospital, at Chelsea ;
and having been informed that a man named Peter
Howie !,ad been seen at the Red House late in the
evening scuffling with Serjeant Kendal, he traced
him, and caused him to be taken into custody, and
khe was now brought before Mr. SELLON, who, atten-
ded by the Clerk, went to Yu: k Hospital, to take the
deposition of Kendal, whoie life was understood to
be in great danger. 'They found him excessively
weak and ill. lie deposed that he had been billetted
about three weeks at the Red House, with several
others. A man called Peter Howie, of the same re-
gimenr, was quartered at a public-house near. About
ten o'clock on Saturday night Howie came to the,
Red House, and was standing betore the door. Wit-
RCSi told him to go home to Lis quarters, as they werr
going to bed. At that time a man named Foster,
who belonged to the same company with the witness,
and quartered with him, was standing in the kitchen.
Upon desirl'ng Howie to go borne, he made a cut at
witness with some sharp instrument, and wounded
him, and afterwards cot him in the arm and upon
his breast. roster came up at this time, and tried to
part them. Howie then went away, and witness was
taken in doors, and laid down, without having his
trowsers taken off; he was in great pain all night,
and discovered next morning a great wound in his
belly. The other soldiers having received their di:-
charges, went away early, except Leonard and Fos-
ter, who procured surgical assistance. Leonard is
since gone to Ireland, and Foster to kamsgate. V
n:ss never had any previous quarrel with Haawie,
cwhom he had known some time; he thinks he was a

little in liquor, but not much. Mr. J. Kinnis, Sur-
geon, examined the wounds of Kendal, and found he'
was in a very dangerous state. The wounds ap.
peered to have been inflicted with a razor, except the
one in the belly, which might have been-occasioned
by a pointed knife. The unfortunate man had re-
ceived six deep wounds—•two on the arm, one on the
face, one on the back, one on the breast eight inches
long, and,a very deep one across the bottom of the
abdomen, through which the bowels protruded. No
hopes are entertained of .his recovery. May is dis-
patched alter Leonard and Foster, whose evidence is
considered material. The prisoner acknowledged
having struck Kendal, but denied having any sharp
instrument in his hand at the time.—Remanded.

The house of Collinebourn, the Officer, in Webber-
row, was lately robbed of ankles of plate to the value
of R 25. The street-door had inadvertently- been left
open a few minutes, and the villains took that oppor-
tunity of effecting their purpose.
MURDER.—Sunday se'nnight the body of a man
was found in the ditch of a field near Grannagh, in the
county of Kilkenny, about two miles and a half horn
that' lace, at a very short distance from the Carrick
road, on the left of the road leading from the Castle
to Kilmakow. With the exception of a fine muslin
cravat, marked , the body might be said to be
naked ; on it, however, was thrown an old waistcoat,
and near it were an old hat, a pair of tattered
breeches, and two pair of very indifferent shoes. It
is not at all likely that these articles belonged to the
owner of the cravat. The deceased had n 6 marks of
violence except on the back past of. his head, w!tieb
appears to have been driven in with some such instru-
ment as a spade or hue ; some of the skull was mis-
sing, and part of his brains were about the place.—
The dreadful mystery of his assassination has hi-
therto bafiled.conjecture. He appears to have been
an utter stranger in these parts ; he was it middle-
sized young-nun of fair skin and dark brown hair,
with rather sandy whiskers; the delicacy of his hands,
and other indications, shew that be did not belong to
the working classes of society. The Magistrates held
an Inquest next day, and every posslble effort was
made to sift out something like information. The
little that could bc collected from the scanty evidence
of the inquest, is comprised in the verdict i--" That
the body of a man; as yet unknown, was first found
by James Comerford, who states himself a sailor,
dismissed trom the ship Bellerophon; that °prier.
ford's evidence did not .throW any light upon the
' subject, and not having any other witnesses produced
to them, they do find that the said passim was wil-
fully murdered by some person or persons unknown.

TI rE lifiFtriltAGSDY OPI CALUCtiCiII

A new Tragedy has jdst been published, called Ca-
iradeevadonded on. very remote and highly interest-
ing event in the history of Britain, namely, the conquest
of this island by the arms of Claudius Caw, and the
c*ptivity of Caractruw. King of the Cassivellanni. The
Author, we understand, offered it for representation
'to one of the Theitfes, the Managers of which• bay
ing rejected it, be Las appealed trom.their decision
to public opinion, and as from this tribunal there is
no appeal, we hope Caractacus will be beard in his
own defence, and that every man, who has grounds
for thinking that his opinion is of any weight in
forming that of the public, .will do the Author that
justice (to which every Briton in this classic soil of
liberty is entitled) w judge by the evidence which
is before them—that is, by the work itself. Bin be-
foie we enter into further remark on the merits, it is
proper. to give a sketch of the fable of the Tragedy.
Caractacur, King of theCassivelanni, or of the western
region of Britain, having been attacked by the Ro-
man forces, and having del ned them in nine succes-
sive engagements, is, at the °pelting of the play,
about to be again attacked by the Roman Comman.
der, Ostorius, with recruited forces. This invasion is
much more formidable than any of the preceding,
and the Druids report all the 'omens to be unfavour-
able, portending some dire disaster to the cause of
liberty and their country. Caractacur, however, having
[Mastered his forces, has great hopes of victory, from
their numbers, and from the tried valour and expe-
rience of his principal Officers. His Queen, Lydicia,
and his daughter Junia, and Galgacus, a British
Prince, her lover, are introduced very early to our
notice, and add very much to the interest of the piece,
particularly Junia and Galgacus, who are betrothed
and to be married immediately after the approaching
battle, should it prove fortunate. After two scenes,
I not important in themselves, but necessary for the
purpose of connection, in one of which Caractacur is
presented as making immediate preparations, and giv-
ing orders for the approaching engagement; and in the
other Ostorius, the Roman Commander, is employed
in a similar manner, Carasmandue, Queen of Ve-
nutus, King of the Brigantes, another tribe of Bri-
tons, and her favourite, a Prince named Vellocatus,
are introduced. A connexion of a criminal nature
had existed for some time. between these two, which
they had reason to suppto.e was suspected, if not dis-
coveted by the injured husband, Venutus. After
consulting together for a s!ir.rt time, they deter in:tie
,n betraying the cause of their country, to fly to
Rome, and to put themselves under the protection of
Cum. Cartismandua contrives to manage an inter-
view with Ostorius, the Rom:in Commander, in-
forms him of the intended defection of Veilrtc
her gallant; instructs him how to act, so as to derive
the greatest advantac.e from his treason, and then
sets out for Renee. 'lle battle joins soon after, and
the Britons, in the beginning. have the advantage,
till Vehlocatus, by basely giving up his post, which
wis very important, add deserting to the Romans,
changed the fortune cf the day. In proceeding to
the Roman headquarters, under an escort, he is met
by Cassibelan, a brother of Caractacur, who reproaches
him with his treachery, whom he stabs, anti, further,
on meeting Junk who is running about wildly alter
her father's defeat, endeavouring to find hire and her
lover, Galgacus, he discovers to her the extent of her
misfortunes, That her father and friends are pri-,
soners in the Roman camp, and endeavours to carry
her off, when for tunately he is prevented by the sod.
den appearance of Galgacus, v:lio `Wits with and
kills ti..o ravis:rer, hut is, him-elf and Junia, ;mine.
iitt.ely after made prisoners, and carried to the Ro-
man carar. There events close the fourth act.—ln
the-filth, the scene is Rome. Caractacur appears be-
fore Cresar in the stern majesty which histcry has
handed down to us. Junia becomes distracted, on
accet!nt of her father% captivity, kills herself by pre.l
cipitating herself from a tower, and Czar compas-1
sionating the sufferings of Caractacir, orders him, his
Queen, Prince Galgacus, and the other attendants,
to be set at liberty. We should have mentioned,
that Cartismandua is convicted of intriguing in the
Court of Claudius, to supplant the Empress Agrip-
pine, and is by her order put to death.
If this brief outline appear to the reader to afford
subject matter for a good play, we are convinced he
will not be disappointed, on reading the piece itself.
All the characters are well drawn, particularly the
principal °ties. Caractacur is every thibi that we ad-
mire in the Hew, the Patriot, and the King. Junia
and Galgacus are highly interesting. The Re mans
are haughty and dignified, despising that treason and
those traitors, by the means of whom their own views
of universal conquest are promoted. The sentiments
are in-many passages admirable, and the language
io which they are clothed chaste and nervous. In a
word, Caractacur is a tragedy, which, in our opinion,
the very subject shoed recommend, and is one in
which its author has shewn that he possesses very
high gratifications for future, and, we trust, more
successful attempts of the same nature.

As two men were lately employed blasting stones
io the quarries of Multalee, near Carlingford, in con-
sequence of some injudicious management, one of
them was killed on the spot, and the other had his
thumb torn off and his fingers shockingly lacerated.
Early on Saturday morning a daring burglary was
.committed by some armed- men, who forcibly entered
the dwelling-house of Mr; W. Neal, near Hirckley,i
Leicestershire. Mr. and. Mrs. Neal (both 80 years
of age), a servant girl, an old labourer, and a grand.
son, named James Holyland, canstitute the family.
About one o'clock the villains succeeded in getting
into the house, and one of them entering Mr. Neal's
chamber, with a torch and'gorse-hock in one hand,
and a pistol in the other, the second with a bludgeon
and gorse-hook, fell upon the bed in which were Jas.
Holyland and the old labourer: Holyland struck the
villain, and a scuffle ensued, when he threatened to
kill them both; the third followed into Mr. and Mrs.
Neal's room. Mrs. Neal cried out, " James, they are
murdering Your grandfather;' upon which the yd.
joins rejoined, " Lie still, Imes, or we will murder
you ;" another entered the girl's room, presented a
pistol, and took from her twa 41 notes, a 3s. and an
lsd. piece : Mrs. Neal entreating him not to take the
poor girl's money, he returred her the ls. 6d. and
locked her in the room. Whilst this was going on
above stairs, a party belovs.ransacked the house of
£2l in money,- a watch, plate, &c. and then made
of, leaving two to guard the door until the others
had got sway with the property.
