(ADVERTISIiAIIiNT.) •
LiverpoOl, 30thlib, 1835.
(TENT! rmr.N,--I yesterday received your kind present of an
elegant silver snug-box, and your grateful acknowledgments
for What you'are pleased to call my kind attention to your Com-
forts and welfare. • •

Allow me to state, that on the I,st April; 1803, I was swornin
as a landing-waiter for • the port of Liverpool, and on the 3d,
when I commenced the business of Ihe,qua • ,`the then collec-
tor", the late Arthur Onslow, Esq., thus ad essed me:— • ,
Sir, you are now entering upon' important oftice, as
landing-waiter of the port of Liverp
" Sir, your first attention is, that his Majesty the King Shall
receive no injury, and that all his duties shall be regularly
discharged. •
" Your next attention is equally as binding as the first—that
you give every accommodation to the merchant consistent with
your duty to die crown."
To Which address I replied— •
Sir, my utmost attention shall be given to your rnest'excel-
lent_ instructions, and I hope by so doing to merit your kind
approbation."
Collector.— I hope and trust you will."
These excellent instructions, to the utmost of my
were my guide and rule fur the three years that I was a landing-
waiter; and I received tint approbation of the collector and
controller, by their recommendation to the Honourable 13'oard
of Customs, on my being appointed to the situation of jerquer
of the customs for the port of
.Liverpool.
On the 6th March, 1806, I left Liverpool for London to go
under instructions as a jerquer; On the 26th of the same month
I returned.to Liverpool, and on the 27th was sworn into, and
• took possession of the jerqner's-office, which I am very sorry to
say was in dreadful confusion. There were ten thousand ships'
blue books without a single warrant in- them, and there were
nearly one hundred thousand warrants heaped together which
'it was impossible to assort. (The warrants. belonging to each
blue book ought to have been tied together, 'and kept inside the
blue book.) After two years' great exertions, by which my
'health was severely injured, the office was brought into order
and regularity, and has continued such until the day I left it,
the 141 h April; 1835. •
• The number of vessels from foreign parts, English as well as
foreign, arriving at the Port of Liverpool were, in 1806, 1226;
in 1816, 1417; and ih 1831, 3201..
Eighteen years sinee, when the number of vessels from to-
reign parts were only 1477 per year, I had four clerks; and when
the number was more than double, four clerks only have I had.
• Will it be believed, that on the 29th March, 1831, the present
inspector-general, Alexander Ross, Esq., came into my office,
when the following conversation took place:— ••: -
Mr. Ross.--Sir, I am coming to take one of your clerks from
you.
Mr: 13.—Sir, I hope in God you Will not,,fer you will ruin my
office if you do.
Mr. Ross.—l shall give you
much.

; Lut he is not worth

Mr. B.—lf, sir, he is not worth much, what shall I do with
him?

Mr. Ross.—lf he does not suit you, report him to me, and I
will break him.
_ _

Mr. B.—l thank God, sir, I never broke but one 'brother
officer, and then by the command of the late controller, Edmund
Rigby,,Esq., and that was poor Jack Wright, and be deserved
it above twenty times.
Mr. Ross.—Look you, sir, (stretching out his hand,) I have
broke many an officer, and 1 hope in God to break many more !
The inspector-general then left my office.
Surely, surely a most gentlemanly and rhsistian-like expression
April' Ist, 1831.—The Inspector-general took from me Mr.
William Every, who had been my clerk for eighteen years, and
before the 10th September, 1834, he had given me ten different
clerks.

•
Sept. 10, 1.83-I.—He came into my office and said, " I am
come to inspect your Office;" and in a little time he said, " I
find it greatly in arrears."
• " Sir," I replied, "it is yOu 1 have to thank for it. You took
away, one of my confidential clerks.' and in less than five months
you have, given me ten different clerks."
Mr. Ross..—Sir, I will look no further. I will come again
afterquarteiAay (the 10th October); and if you and your clerks
have not got up your arrears by that have, the power,
and I will snake von and your clerks come every morning at
eight o'clock, and make them and you stay until eight o'clock
at night!

- --,---• •
Mr. B. unless you give me assistance, it is impossible to
bring up the arrears. liutyou will do as you please.
Oct. 17. 1831.—This fatal day came. and -William Southgate,
Esq., a surveyor of the customs, was shot in the Custom-house-
yard, and live.' only two days afterwards—a melancholy event
indeed !
Gentlemen, following those excellent instructions given me
by our former collector, Arthur Onslow, Esq., I have t-1 the
best of my abilities paid ever' attention (as was my duty) that
the crown did not suffer from, the port entries being delayed;
and, that every accommodation should be given to the mer-
chant, I:employed my oldest clerk, Mr. Halsal Latham, entirely
in examining and comparing the copies of the ships' reports and
the tide-waiters' blue books, that, if possible, no delay should
be caused in the jerquer's-office; and I can with confidence ap-
peal to every merchant in Liverpool if such has not been the
case for the twenty-nine years last past when I held that re-
sponsible office.

.. -
I have mentioned only a few of the acts of your present in-
spector-general to show that you are not the only persons in his
Majesty's Customs who hare fallen under his Bentlemattly treat-
ment.
I am now addressing a memorial to our sovereign Lord King
William the Fourth, showing forth the many gentlemanly action.;
which your present inspector general (which we will suppose)
has Ideasingly performed-; and I !tripe and trust his Majesty
will, in his great kindness to the welfare of his brother freemen of
Liverpool, most handsomely reward the• same high-minded gen-
tlemini according to his great deserts.—Wishing you and your
families health and comfort in this life,
I beg to remain, gentlemen,
Your sincere well-wisher,

members of this society dined together. on Wednesday last, at
Street's Royal Clarence Hotel, C. Gordon, Esq. in die chair,
and Baldwin Fulford, jun., Esq. vice-president. Several
eloquent and constitutional speeches were delivered in the
course of the evening, and the most flattering prospects of the
ascendancy of conservatism in Devon were stated to the meet-
ing. We rejoice' to see the efforts of this society crowned with
such excellent effects.— Western Luminary.
MISTIMED SE nvicr.—,‘ Before I skip back to the point'from
which my own flea and the Poictiers flea have led tne, I must
tell a story of an English lady, who was not so fortunate as Pas-
' quier's accomplished friend. This lady, who lived in the country,
and was about to have a large dinner party, was ambitious of
snaking as great a display as her husband's establishtnent, a tol-
erably large one, could furnish ; so that there might seem to be
no lack of servants, a great lad, who had been employed only
in farm work, was trimmed and dressed for the occasion, and
ordered to take his stand behind his mistress's chair, with strict
injunctions nut to stir from his place, nor do anything nnless she
directed hint; the lady well knowing, that althOugh no footman
could make a better appearance as a piece still life, scene-awk-
wardness would be inevitable, if he were put in motion. Accord-
ingly, Thomas having been duly drilled, and repeatedly enjoin-
ed, tarok his post at the head of the table behind his mistress,
and for a while he found sufficient amusement in looking ut the
gratid set-out, and staring at the guests; when he yeas-weary
of this, and of an inaction to which he was so little used, his
eyes began to pry about nearer objects. It was at a tinie when
our ladies followed the French fashion of having the back and
shoulders, under the name of the_ neck; uncovered much lower
than accords either with the English climSte, of with- old Eng-
lish notions; a time when, as Lander expresses it, the usurped
dominion of neck bad extended from the ear 'downwards, al-
most to where mermaids beconie fish.' This lady was in the
height, or lowness of that fashion ; and'hetween her shoulder-
blades, in the hollow of the back, not far from the confines where
nakedness And clothing met, Thomas espied what Pasquier had
seen upon the neck of Mademoiselle des Roches. The guests
were too much engaged with the business and courtesies of the
table to see what must have been worth/teeing—the transfigura-
tion produced in Thomas's countenance by delight, when he saw
so flue an opportunit of showing himself attentive, and making
.himself useful. The lady was too much occupied with her com-
pany to feel the flea; but to her .horror she felt the great finger
and thumb of Thomas upon her back. and to her greater horror
heard hint exclaim in exultation, to the still greater amusement
of the party—" a vlca, a vlea ! my lady, ecod I've caught 'eut
