but in attempting to descend the oilier tunnel, he
sound it to straiten as be proceeded, and, at last, he
was completely set fast. The poor fell..w'b cries
west very distressing, and oars us expedients were
resorted to in order to liberate him from his sooty
prison ; ladders were procured, and ropes let down
to him from the top of the chimney, but he had
struggled till his hands were tast, and he could n• t
move a limb. When he had been in this horrid
situation nearly an hour, he was liberated by perfo-
rating the chimney near t.b the place where he was,
and making a hole large enough for his retraction I
He was considerably bruised, and completely ex
handed with the efforts he had made.

The Liverpool frauds continue to be investigated
with the gre.test vigour. Amongst the other nefa-
rious transactions already traced, is one of a vessel
suspected to have cleared out for Havre with a to
liable cargo. It is stated that her owner had she
address to get her pot upon LLOYD'S book., as at.'
rived at that port, and it is now strongly suspected
she proceeded no farther than votnid the Rock at Li-
verandov:hen the cargo-was relanded and conveyed
to . -The letters received on Wednesday men-
tion, that three Bow street officers arrived there on
Monday. The broker who gave bond for the gochis
was innocent of the fraud which was intended ; anti
is called upon by Government to pay the penalty
of the bond, which is five thossand pounds.--
; As soon as the trick was discovered the broker set off
I for London, to trace out the goods which bad been
sent thereby the fraudulent parties, and had the snot-
tiffcation, on stepping into the coach, to find already
I seated, his treacherous friend, who was also on the
look-out for the money or the goods. Two searchers,
towever, from Liverpool, had the start of all tn.
rest, and had succeeded on Wednesday in getting
into their possession about £4,000 worth of the good.;
and before this time they will have laid thar hands
goods of nearly the same value, as they were ctn.
rcaly informed where they were to be found. Th.
respectable inerchantsat Liverpool consider tnemselve.
lisgraced by a transaction so infamous having beeu
'scoured amongst their body.
