110USE,_ AT TATIERSALL'S!

At this highly-famed Sporting Establishment, the amateurs
were a few days since interested upon the following. accidental
event, which occurred near the Subscription-room :—A sparrow
which was in the daily habit of picking up the crumbs of bread
which were thrown out from one of the rooms (and which, it
appears. he viewed as his exclusive right), was suddenly inter-
rupted in his pursuit by a little hungry mouse, who, with tears
in his eyes, having been some time without food, attacked the
!Farrow, ecizad upon the crumb of bread, and endeavoured to
run off with the prize. The sparrow immediately 'hewed fight,
and no6,V the mouse so successfully with his beak that Mousey
/h:/red, and made for a hole in the wall, to escape from the fury
of his antage..iist; but the hole bring too small, poor Mousy
stuck fast fur a little time, when the sparrow punished hint se-
ver•ly. live and six to four on thefcathers. The mouse, in his
own defence, was compelled to return to the charge; aad was
again so milled that he ran a little way up the wall, but falling
down from weakness, the sparrow once more had the best of
him. 'l'wo to one was offered by the surrounding spectators
(who were now so much interested upon the event, that Ran-.
dill and Martin could not, for the instant, have proved more
attractive to their feelings), that the gay bird won it. Mousey,
who ss•as not destitute ut pluck, determined to have another shy
for the crumb, made a desperate effort to bear it off; but the
attic cock bird served him out so bard and fast, that Mousey left
the ground with the speed of a Gustavus, and got out of the
clutches of his opponent by falling down an area. The sparrow
followed the mouse till he lost sight of him, cocking his little
ogles down the area after his antagonist, and strutting with all
the pride of a first-rate miller ; then returning to the spot, he
finished the crumbs at his ease and leisure, amidst the laughter
of the surrounding spectators.

Woodcocks have already begun to appear on the!
south coast of Devon; a remarkable fine one was shot
yesterday se'nnight, by Mr. T. STOCKER, in the neigh-
bourhood of Sidmouth.
Thursday morning, a partridge flew into the
Punchbowl public-house, near the Cathedral, at
Worcester, and was there secured. It had previously
alighted on the head of a person in the street. The
bird had probably been pursued by a hawk.
DIRECTIONS ON A BASKET OF FISII.--" For Dr.

A loin of mutton was on table, and the Gentleman

A few years ago, a young Englishman arrived from
Nice at Marseilles, who wished to go through France.
He was asked for his passport ; he had none.—" You
must go to the Municipality." So he did—" Sir" said
he to the clerk, " I want a passport."—" What's your
name?"—" .4ugratus Frederick."—" No other name?'"'
No."—" Whom do you belong to?""—" To my fa-
ther and mother !"—" Are you of the Department of
the Mouth of the Rhone?"—" No, Sir."—" Of what
Department are you ?"—" Of the Department of the
Thames."—" What's your father's name?",
""Georg:."—" What is his trade?"—" He is a King."
The clerk, not having attended to the name of the
Department, was a little roused when he heard the
quality of die youth's father; and with all possible
gravity, delivered the passport to " Mr. Augustus
Frederick, son of Mr. George, of the Department of
the Thames," saying, " Here's your passport, Sir; and
I wish you well over the kingdom ; bon voyage, /ion

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SEAMEN'S
SOCIETY AND BETHEL UNION.

Last week the anniversary public meeting of the
above most excellent Society, which has for its im-
! portant object the diffusion of the Holy Scriptures
and religious principles among seamen, by establish-
ing floating chapels, was held at the City of Lonilon,
Tavern. The great room was filled almost to suffo-
cation by a most respectable assemblage of Ladies
And Gentlemen ; and so numerous were the persons
who could not obtain admission, that the report of
the Society's proceedings for the last year was read
in the large dining-room below, which also was filled
with persons of both sexes. Over the raised platform
in the principal room the royal standard was dis-
played, and, on each the blue Bethel flag, with the
word " Bethel" inscribed. Several beautiful models
'of naval ingenuity were exhibited in the course of
the evening. At half-past six o'clock the Right Hon.
Lord GAMBIER, K.C.B. took the Chair amidst warm
applause. He was supported by several Reverend
and Naval Gentlemen. The Noble Chairman briefly
addressed the Meeting by congratulating them on
the commencing of the Institution, and on its pro-
gress. The Report was then read by the Secretary,
and presented a gratifying detail of the labours of
this Society, whic:i appears to have effected great and
lasting good for seamen. Many instances, sore of
an affecting nature, were read to the Meeting, in
support of the utility of the institution. On the Re-
port being read, several Gentlemen addressed the
Assembly in furtherance of the Society, which ap-
pears to be in a flourishing condition. The usual
routine of business having been gone through in the
selecting of officers &c. thanks were voted to Lord
mat ER, who expressed his acknowledgments, and
the Meeting broke up.

MARGATEand RAMSGATE BIBLE SOCIETY.

A most highly respectable and numerous Meeting
was held at the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms, Mar-
ga:e, on WeJnesday last, for the purpose of establish-
ing an Isle of Thanct Auxiliary Bible Society. '
The Right Han. the Earl of LIVERPOOL took the
Chair amidst the warm plaudits of the Meeting, sur-
rounded by a number of Clergymea of the Esta-
blished Church, and distinguished characters of and
belonging to Margate, Ramsgate, and other parts of
the Isle of Thanet. •

The Rev. Dr. Tnoni,E, in a speech of argumenta-
tive eloquence, successfuly combated the arguments
adduced by the opposers of the British and Foreign
Bible S:ciety, and proved that so far from the ope-
ration of this Society injuring the funds of other cha-
rities, the exercise of public benevolence had been id-
vigorated by its benign influence, and that more
copies of the Liturgy of the Established Church, of
which it was his honour and happiness to be a mem-
ber, had been disposed of during the last year, than
for several years prior to the establishment of this in-
valuable Institution.

The Rev. Mr. IlcciiEs took a review of the opera-
tion of the Bible Society, and considering the Bible
as the best of books, could not but rejoice as a Briton
that this country was emphatically and truly called
a land of Bibles.
On the motion that the Noble Chairman be soli-
cited to become the Patron of the Isle of Thanet
Auxiliary Bible Society, being carried,
The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented himself to the
Meeting, and was received with the most enthusias-
tic cheers. As soon as the acclamations had subsided,
his Lordship said he should trouble them with but
few observations; but he felt it right to state the
grounds on which he accepted the Presidency of that
Society. He would say the objects and principles of
the Bible Society were in perfect accordance with his
principles; if for a moment he could consider them
hostile to the religion of his country, as by law esta-
blished, he could not yield them his support; but
believing as be did that the labours of the Bible So-
ciety tended to promote Christianity in general through-
out the world, he felt it his duty to promote its suc-
cess by all means in his power. He was a member
of the Society for Promoting Christian knowledge;
and as a member of the Established Church, from
the conviction of his judgment, lie felt it his duty
to support that Establishment, and he should be
most happy could the Liturgy be always circu-
lated with the Bible; but there were circumstances
which prevented that highly desirable object.—
The operation cf the Bartlett's-buildings Society was
limited, for the Bible may be circulated where the
Prayer-book could not. At home, among persons of
different religious opinions, the Bible may be circu-
lated; and believing, as he did, that the distribution
of the Scriptures will tend to lead men to approve of
our excellent Liturgy, shall we withhold the Scrip-
tures, because they will not receive the Prayer-book
with them ? In Ireland, religious prejudices would
prevent the Prayer-book being received, and shall we
forego the advantage of circulating the Word cf GOD
among all classes, and all sects, giving them an oppor-
tunity of forming their conscientious opinions of the
truths ofthe Bible? The principles ofthis Society adapt
it to convey the word of life to the whole world. Britons
have animportant duty to perform, arising out of our
connexion with cur colonies and foreign possessiow.—
As Christians we ought to deplore, that this duty has
been so long neglected, but surely I may now appeal,
to you, as Christians, and as Protestants, if the pure
word of GOD should not be circulated through all
our C.,lonies and Dependencies. The principle of the
Bible Society is not a theory, but a practical opera-
tion, which has been in exercise for fourteen years ;
and by its exertions the Holy Scriptures have teen
translated into many languages ; fhe names of some
of which we were scarcely acquainted with. If upon
so solemn and important a subject it could be al-
lowed to feel pride, I should feel a national pride that
so extensive, so benevolent an Institution originated
in this country—an Institution which conveys the best
of blessings to every nation—to every people. And
is it, I would ask, not a means of promoting. British
influence and British power among the nations
who are thus enlightened by British benevolence
It is a duty we owe to GOD, who has so benefited
this country by bestowing upon us such innumerable
blessings—who enabled us to weather the storm, to
surmount the difficulties of one of the most moment
ous periods, and crowned the nation with a glorious
peace. It is a duty we owe to PROVIDENCE, to make,
all mankind feel that, in acknowledging the favours
Heaven has bestowed upon ds, we sue anxious to

convey tb them the greatest blessing Heaven eau
bestow, by circulating the Word of Eternal Life in
the most extensive way we possibly can.—(The Noble
Lord was warmly applauded on the conclu.sion of
the above address.)
1 The Rev. Messrs. BARTLETT, WI; ITE, BURMA,
SA NUYS, - TAnDY, E,:q. and ocher Gentlemen, seve-
rally addressed the Meeting in appropriate and do-
quent speeches, after which the assemblage broke up,
hidais interested in the objects of the new Society.

IRELAND.

Extract of a letter, dated Market Hill (County of
Armagh), ,October 10:—" Moaday last, one of the
Orange Lodges of this district assembled at the 'Ver-
ner Arms, in this town, to celebrate the anniversary
of the birth of James Winer, Esq. and to admit some
new members. About thirty-five persons sat down
to dinner, and in about five minutes after a most
dreadful crash was heard in the lower part of the
house to proceed from the upper rooms. The land-
lord ran up stairs, but his progress was impeded by
an immense quantity of rubbish, dust, slates, and
lath, rushing down. Assistance was immediately pro-
cured, when it was discovered that the roof of the
house had fallen in, and came with such irresistible
force on the floor over the dining-room, that the ceik
ins of the latter gave way, and overwhelmed the
unfortunate people at dinner with its ruins. Eight
people have been taken out dead ; sixteen have been
dreadfully mutil.ned ; several of them have their
limbs broken, and only few of them are expected to
recover :.-the rest are dreadfully mangled.
COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
As the police from Newcastle, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant PERCY, were paroling on Tue.-
day night last, they met a large body of Men near
Killeedy, all mounted, two on each horse, armed
anti dressed in white, who, on being challenged and
ordered to surrender, fled in different directions; the
police then fired and Wounded one man, who with
another they took prisoners. The Drumcolloher
party of police, who were also patreling in the same
direction by Mr. PERCY'S orders, arrested two mo e
men, who were brought into Newcastle, and have
since been committed to jail by GODFREY MASSY,
Esq. The zeal of this :mail party to pursue the lu-
gitives, obliged Mr. l'Ency to leave the wounded
man at a respectable farmer's house till his return,
when, accompanied by GODFREY Massy, Esq. and
a party of the 40dr regiment, they found the man
had been removed, and, though a diligent search
was directly made, they could not succeed in re-
taking him, but found in the course of the search,
guns, pistols, and ammunition, horses, saddles, hats,
shoes, &c. also a dead horse.

Wednesday se'nnight, a fellow named MO/a/y, en-

EXTRACTS FROM TEE POEM CALLED 61 THE

ROYAL PROGRESS."

Fire heard the Irish praised for much ability,
Although than Scotchmen rather less profound;
Full of good wit, as Welehmen of gentility,
Which to the country's honour doth redound.
The British Press (I speak it with humility)
In Irish talent daily doth abound : •
But never did they chew such ingenuity
As in their new-born loyal assiduity !
• • • • •
A Palace ! yes, the thing will be in keeping :
We have a Custom-house without much trade;
A Parliament, our ledger-books to keep in ;
A 'Change where little money's made;
•
Theatres, and dispels for our saints to sleep in,
For which the bills have mostly—not been paid,
Cover'd with debt, if not with tiles, 'twill sort
A bankrupt natio:, and an absent Court !
Oh ! there is many a hut on Irish ground,
Low, darksome, dank, and only fit to sped
The fever's foul contagion all around ;
Few think of the poor peasant's dreary shed;
Yet all are ready with their hundred pound
A palace walls o'er many a rood to spread.
Build high for Kings!—and for your beggars, hovels;
The world will think they're only found in novels !•
Yes, build a palace, to adorn your city,
There, where " the Liberty its poison flings,
A barrack in the centre will look pretty,
A jail and Bedlam be its spreading wings.
Then join a spacious workhouse for mendicity,
To bide the brood which from your system springs-s•
nigh taxes, double tithes, excessive rents,
Peel's Peeling Code, and Foreign Parliaments !
These building jobs in Dublin are not new,
I know not if th' invention's all our own,
But every year can furnish us a few,
To make the gay ones smile, the graver moan.
I'll teach the Londoners the trick to do— •
An art so precious can't be too much known—
Therefore, brave cocknies, draw, I prithee, near me,
had you three ears, 'twere worth your while to hear me!
First, get a nucleus for your subscription,
A dozen warm old knaves, whose ample gains
Come from the taxes; men of this description
Are ever to be had with little pains.
Then make a sweeping, general conscription
Of clerks in office, thotelh their purse it drains;
These of their rich superiors live in fear,
And daren't withhold their mite from fifty pounds a-yen!
MI thus wronged, you call a public meeting ;
Go well prepared, with " an appropriate speedo:"
The architect, his private friend entreating,
Will make subscribers all within his reach.
The parsons will conic down without much beating,
For which they'll suck their Parish like a leech,
Then come, vain fools, who pay their way to fame,
And give—in newspapers to road their name !
These, duly moved with frothy declamation
Of Church and King, our happy Constitution,
Of th' ancient glories of the Irish nation
Will fling their money down with resolution.
Then, straight begin to build, nor fear vexation
From bills inextricable, all confusion ;
Stop payment when you will, whate'er you want
The l'arli:unent makes good with annual grant I
The rage fur jobbing, it must be confess'd,
With spleticEd buildings has itnprov'd the town ;
Though 'gaiust the principle I must protest,
The good collateral I freely own.
All visitors are ready to attest
A prettier town in Europe scarce is known%
S 4 ImA:et, that its merits to enhance,
It want* but—commerce anti inhabitants!

WESTMINSTER *SESSIONS, OCTOBER 19.

Mr. WALFORD applied to the Court to e•areat the
recognisances of John Fly and William Griffiths, who
were charged with riot at the funeral of Francis and
lloney, at Knightsbridge, on the 14.1 of August.—
He said, that the parties were bound to come in and
take their trial at this Sessions, but they had neither
appeared nor gis en notice.
The CutinT said, that the Learned Counsel might
let his motion stand as a notice, but that the recogrj-
zances could not be at present entreated. The partte‘,
while the Sessions continued, might yet come in and
demand their trial.
Mary Mason, the wife of William Tomlinson Ma-
son, was put to the bar on an indictment, charging
her with having deposited two of her children, both
under the age of two years. at the doors of Mr. Knight
and another inhabitant in Marlborough-street, on the
sth of June Lot, between the hours of ten and eleven
o'clock at night.
Mr. ALLEY conducted the prosecution on behalf of
the Overseers of Saint James s Parish, to whom the
children became chargeable.
Edward Thew, the servant of Mr. Knight, stated,
that on the night set forth in the indictment, he an-
swered a knock at the door, and on opening it found
a child sitting on the threshold, about IS month; old,
crying bitterly. Mr. Knight came and viewed the
child, and on examination found that a scrap of paper
was attached to the clothes of the little outcast, with
an inscription, of which the following is an exact copy :
44 With reluctance I am obliged to leave these two poor help-
less fhildren to the care of the AL)trarry, being, as I am, unable
to provide for them, and they are 'forsaken by their unnatural
father, who refuses to do anything for them. Their father is a
baker and comes from Newark, near Nottingham ; his name is
Tomlinson.'
This note caused a farther search. At the next
door was found an infant about four months old, and
Mr. Knight had them conveyed to a place of security
till morning, when they were taken to the Work- I
house, and from thence removed to Wimbledon to
Le nursed. The Officers made every inquiry, and at
length offered a reward of £2O, soon after which the
unnatural mother and her husband were apprehended.
Several witnesses were examined, among whom
was Elizabeth Balls, a neighbour of the prisoner. It
appeared, from her statement, that the prisoner had
told her of her dropping the children, and said that
her (the prisoner's) mother was with her at the time.
There being a link wanting in the chain of evi-
dence, namely, that the prisoner was the person who
so deposited them, and that she did so with a view of
forsaking them, the CHAIRMAN' lamented that it was
so ; there could be no doubt but the prisoner had
been very inhuman, but without evidence the Jury
could not convict her. The Parish had acted with
great propriety in instituting the prosecution, but he,
was bound to charge the Jury to acquit the prisoner.
Mr. ALLEY said, that a woman who had burst
asu.nder the most tender tics of nature was not to go
unpunished, and he wished the Hagistrates to detain
her, as he should proceed against her to-morrow un-
der the Vagrant Act.
The defendant, who .is a young woman of good.
appearance, was taken from the bar with the young
child in her arms, and sent back to prison.

PALACE COURT, OCTOBER 19.

PITT O. HUSKISSON AND OTHERS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Charles
Pitt, an auctioneer and appraiser, against the Right
Hon. William Huskisson, M.P. one of the Commis-
sioners appointed' for the purpose of carrying the
New Street Act into effect; Alexander Milne, Se-I
cretary to these Commissioners; George Corneille,
Clerk ; and George Thomson, Agent under the same;
to recover compensation in damages for an alleged
conspiracy to deprive the plaintiff of employment rn
his abovementioned capacity. In 1818, the plaintiff
having preferred an indictment against the present
defendants and two others at the Westminster Ses-
sions, it was removed by certiorari into the Court of
King's Bench; where it was tried before Lord Ellen-
borough, and the defendants were acquitted. In a
couple of years afterwards, Mr. Pitt brought an
action on the same grounds in the Court of Common
Pleas, which terminated in a verdict for the de-
fendants ; and now Mr. Pitt thought proper to try
his chance a third time, by bringing the present ac-
tion in this Court, laying his damages under £5,
whereby he disabled his opponents from removing it
'to a superior Court; and varying the defendants, by
which they were prevented from pleading the former
verdicts in bar. As the case has therefore been twice
before the Public already, it is only necessary to
state generally that Mr. Pitt, who was his own ad-
vocate on this as on the former occasions, in an ad-
dress of considerable length, accused the defendants
of having, hi the years 1815 and 1816, concerted
measures, which they carried into effect, to prevent
the plaintiff from being employed to procure com-
pensation for persons to be deprived of their houses
and premises under the New Street Act. He had
been employed in this way, he said, since 1814, and
had procured compensation for various, persons to
the amount of nearly £lOO,OOO, until the Commis-
sioners, making a pretext of a house in the Ilay-
market, for the purchase of which he bad entered
into an agreement with the proprietor, and for which
he bad endeavoured to obtain as large a valuation as
he could, entered into a resolution to deprive him of
employment and injure his character by every means
in their power. The only way in which he could
conjecture that he had given any offence, was by his
exertions to procure compensation for individuals,
who being only t.nants at will, had thought that
they were not entitled to any. If he could have pro-
cured the house in question for less than its value,
aril disposed of it the next day for a larger sum, he
thought he had a right to do. so : in like manner as
a man was at liberty, who purchased a horse for £5
tc ask £5OO, or £5,000 for him the next moment.
Mr. Pitt next alluded io another circumstance at
which the Commissioners had taken offence, which
related to the negotiation with a Mr. Folsch, for his
premises in Oxford-street; and then took a view of
the law on conspiracy as laid down by Lord Ellen-
borough in Lord Cochtane's case ; and in that of
Horn, the distiller, by Mr. Justice Park. He en-
treated the Jury to consider his case their own, and
say what their feelings would be, if from the receipt
of £5OO or 1:1,000 a-year they had been reduced by
the machinations of the defendants to that of ss. a
week to support their families. After many other
observations, he concluded by contending against the
validity of any defence grounded upon the circum-
stances of the defendants being public servants ; Sir
Robert Wilson had been a public servant, and yet
chat had been no protection to him. Ile then called
several witnesses.
George Brooks, a solicitor, in 1815 had a tenant of
the name of Parr, residing inCharles-street, StJames's-
square ; and recollected Mr. Milne and Mr. Nash, the
surveyor to the Commissioners, coming to him in re-
ference to Parr's claim for compensation, and asking
him to use his interference with Parr, to get him to
employ some other person than Mr. Pitt. He could
not s ty which a,ed those words, but he believed they
both took a part in th.r conversation.
James Hargrave, jun. recollected the defendant,
Thomson, coming to liim in 1816, with reference
to a similar claim of his father's, and saying, upon
being told he was to treat with Mr. Pitt, that
his father was in bad hands ; he might have had
I Some compensation if he had not employed Mr. Pitt;
but since he had, he chciuld not have a farthing.—
The dekndant, Corneille, also called afterwards, and
advised his father to reconsider what he was about in
employing Mr. Pitt, and to recollect the power he
had to contend with. His father, however, was only
tenant at will, and the Commissioners having pur-
chased his landlord's interest, had served his father
with notice to quit.
Thomas Walker stated, that Corneille had told
him that Mrs. Meyres had done wrong in employing
Mr. Pitt.
James Burton, Esq. proved two letters written by
Mr. Huskisson to the plaintiff, in one of which he
stated that he should not be accepted as a referee in
future. (This was the only evidence affecting this
defendant.) The witness had been appointed referee
on the part of the Crown on some occasions; and in
one case, he and Mr. Pitt agreed upon a valuation of
.1:1130, where the plaintiff first named a sum of up-
wards of £2OOO.
After calling one or two more witnesses, whose
testimony is not very interesting, the plaintiff closed
his case ; and
Mr. THESIOER stated that of the defendants to the
Jury. He commented in severe terms upon the con-
duct of the plaintiff, and strongly reprobated this
third attempt, the two former having failed, to ca-1
lumniate the characters of the *defendants, particu-
larly that of Mr. Huskisson, for which, even upon
the plaintiff's own shewing, there was not the shadow
of a pretext. He contended that his clients not only
had a right, but were bound, as servants of the Pub-
lic, in the correct discharge of their duty, to decline
treating with Mr. Pitt as a referee, after having sent
circular letters about, soliciting to be appointed a
general referee, and particularly after his conduct
respecting the house in the Haymarket; which, after
having purchased it himself for £B5O, he represented
to the Commissioners as still in the possession of the
former proprietor, a feather-merchant ; and, on his
behalf, demanded 2000 guineas for it. After an ad-
dress of very great length from the Learned Counsel,
and the examination of witnesses in support of it,
Mr. Pitt replied, and the Court charged the Jury,
who, atter a few moment's deliberation, found a ver-
dict for the defendants. The trial continued till past
nine o'clock at night.

POLICE

Bow-rrarrr.—Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock,
Benjamin Bloomfield, the person charged with prac-
tising frauds, under the pretence of procuring situa-;
tions for persons under Government, was brought
from the -House of Correction, in the custody of
Westbrook, the jailor, and placed in a room in the
Marquis of Anglesea public-house until one o'clock,
when he was conducted to the Office to undergo a
third examination. The Office and its avenues had
previously become much crowded, and it was under-
stood that there were several persons waiting to pre-
fer_ charges against the prisoner. When he was placed
at the table in front of the bat, Sir RICHARD
asked if Mr. Shirley, the original prosecutor, was pre-
sent? Mr. Shirley presented himself, and Sir RICH-
ARD BIRNIZ desired the Clerk to read over the evi-
dence, as his worthy colleague, Mr. MINSHCLL, who
granted the warrant fur the urisoner's apprehension,
was now present, and he wished him to hear it. This
being done, Mr. HARMER stated that he had had in•
terviews with Mr. Shirley, the first complainant, who
assured him that he should not have parted with his
money merely on the false pretence, without the
bond which the prisoner had given; -and he (Mr
Harmer) could not advise him to proceed further.
Mr. MINSHULL said the bond did not alter the case+
at all, for the false pretences remained the same.
Mr. HARMER said, undoubtedly; but in an indict-
ment under the Statute of False Pretences, it was
necessary to allege, that by certain false representa-
tions the prosecutor had been defrauded, and on the
trial he must swear that upon those representations
alone he parted with his money. Sir RICHARD BIR-
NIE said, Mr. Harmer's argument was, that Mr. Shir-
ley took the bond as a collateral security, and that
he would not have parted with his money but for the
additional safeguard which he fanied the bond gave
him. In this Mr. HARMER coincided.—Mr. Shirley
was then examined by Mr.Mtwsitut.t. as to his know-
ledge of the prisoner, and the Mr. Dunbar who had
joined in the bond. Mr. Shirley stated, that he knew
Mr. Dunbar v, as a pupil of Mr. Chitty, and the ne-
phew of a Major Dunbar. He had corre-ponde,l
with Danbar's father upon the subject of the bond,
and the latter acknowledged the relationship, but
said he knew nothing of the transaction in question.
A Solicitor for a person who had been defrauded
here stated that he had it charge to prefer against the
prisoner ; but not being aware of the intention of Mr.
Shirley to withdraw his charge, he was Tither unpre-
pared at this moment. He requested that the pi iso-
ncr might be remanded for two or three days, when
he should be prepared. Sir RICHARD RIME said,
the Sessions would come on very shortly, and if his
client was present, and had a straight forward tale to
tell, the Magistrate would.hear it. The prisoner here
observed, that in the case for which this Solicitor ap-
peared, a bond had been given, which was not vet
due; and he had every reason to believe, that bef.ore
it• became due the matter would be settled. Sir
RICHARD BIRNIE asked the Solicitor if his client had
received a bond? and he said he had, but it was the
bond of the prisoner only. Mr. HARMER observed,
that Mr. Shirley had no wish to screen Mr. Bloom-
field from justice; and his only motive for not press-
ing the charge was, that he believed he would not
succced in a criminal prosecution. Mr. Shirley said
lie was perfectly willing to do all in his power to
promote the ends of justice; but he had reason to be-
lieve that Mr. Bloomfield was what he represented
himself to be, a relation of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield,
and that he had been in a great measure a dupe of
more designing persons, who had taken advantage of
his youth, his name, &c. to defraud people, and he
had no doubt that they shared much more largely in
the spoil than the defendant. Mr. Mitasittru. asked
if Mr. Shirley knew those persons? Mr. Shirley said,
it would not be prudent to mention them now. After
some further conversation, it was agreed that the pri-
soner should be brought up again on Wednesday.
He was accordingly committed until that day.

Mrs. Graham, of Fish•house, in the parish of Gretna,
although in her 100th year, lately got a complete set
of teeth; and, excepting being rather deaf, has all her
faculties, both of body and mind, in the utmost per-
fection, and time has not yet created a single furrow
on her forehead. She span forty hanks of fine linen
yarn this year.

In our first introduction to a'person, there is no-
thineconveys to the mind a stronger impression than the Teeth.
A fuse set of Teeth identifies health, cleanliness, and beauty ; but
from yellow, black, or carious Teeth we turn with loathing and
disgust. To all who wish to preserve or beautify the Teeth,
IlunsoN and i Co. recommend their BOTANIC TOOTH 'ewnsa, as
a sure remedy and preventive for all Disorders of the Mouth : it
not only cleanses, whitens, and beautifies the Teeth, but pre-
serves them from decay to the extremity of age. It fastens
Teeth that are lett,se, prevents the decayed growing worse, re-
moves the tartar, and cures the Scurvy us the Gums, leaving
them firm, and of a healthy redness. It sweetens the breath, is
an antidote for gum-biles, swelled face, and the tooth-ache;
and the PrOprietors warrant, that, if used regularly, a tooth will
never decay, and the tooth-ache will not be known; and though
so powerful an antiseptic, it is entirely free from acid, and so in-
nocent, that a child may take the contents of a box.—Sold, price
