Occupied as the public mind continues to be with
solicitude for the security and interests of the QUEEN,
that sentiment which prompts Englishmen to exertion
in the defence of her insillted 31vJr.svv, makes them
equally alive to every case, even of the most humble
and forlorn individual, that possesses cogent claims
upon their sympathy. Among the many instances
of that concern u hick has been nianifested by
private and by public characters, as well as by
the public prey., is the attention that has for
several years been paid to the condition of those
crowds of wretched beings who have been fatally
seduced to the circulation of counterfeit notes. From
the desperate distress in which they were previously
involved, and the ignorance and simplicity they have
betrayed iu their occupation, the cases of the greatest
portion, and especially of the females, have excited the
most poignant commiseration. Many personal ex•
ertions have, in consequence, Seen zealously made to
arrest the doom of interesting individuals. Various
legislative propositions have been strenuously urged to'
mitigate the severity of those laws which they infringe.
The precautions of a numerous police, and the skill
of the most distinguished artists of America, as well as
Europe, have been put in requisition for the prevention
of the offence. In the mean time, neither vigilance
nor terror have been found availing in checking the
career of the infatuated victims. The groups that fur
a lung time were immolated, almost every month, at
length appalled the very persons at whose instance these
sacrifices were derianded and a temporary relaxation of
punishment was conceded to afflicted humanity. Amidst
the various modes suggested for abating this national dis-
grace, it cannot fail to have occurred, to persons compe-
tent to the undertaking, to strive to check the evil at its
source. Among the hundreds and the thousands of
those unfortunate dupes who have expiated with their
lives the offence of uttering forged Bauk notes, it
cannot but have happened that the officers of the Bank
themselves must have had recourse to the more deli-
cate and ingenuous, of the tender sex at least, to en-
deavour to discover the channels by which they were
supplied with the fatal means of their offence. The
chief distributors of those counterfeits must, of
course, be easily aeceesible. A vigilant police acquires
an intimate knowledge of their haunts. It is known
to a certainty, at what time and place they are to ar-
rive with their supplies in the metropolis; and it can-
not be unknown from what quarter of the kingdom
they have come. To the uninitiated in the mysteries
of municipal justice, it is matter of astonishment, that
notwithstanding the multitudes of victims who have
been apprehended for the crime of uttering forged
Bank notes, the forgers themselves can elude detection.
To assign any plausible explanation of the extraortli:
nary fortune of those men, is utterly beyond our
power. It is an enigma we cannot pretend to solves
One instance, however, has been brought within
our knowledge, wherein the concealment of a forger
of this class is, indeed, sufficiently accounted. for. It
is an instance of a character so marvellous, that when
conveyed to us for the purpose of being cotomnnieated
to the public, we hesitated, till we had obtained on
every point that could occur to us the most complete

LOCI '. ctrmr.NT.

A new farce was produced last night, entitled The
Wild Guar, Chase, in which a great part of the comic
strength of the company was brought into action. The
prot exhibits the adventures of no less than four dif-
ferent parties on their trip to Gretna, under the follow-
ing circumstances: the first on the road is a Navy Cap-
tain of the name of Stay/sere (Mr. HAMLET), whose oh-
jest is to marry the niece of Old Stamps (Mr. Game).
The next is Captain Flank, of a Volunteer Corps, who
treacherously attempts to out-greieral his friend the
sailor. Then follow Mr. Stamps. his sister Mrs. Senri-
tire (Mrs. flaaLowa), and his niece, Emily, as they sup-
pose, in pursuit of ,Mr. Sensitive, her husband, who had
left her, but in reality following Captain Strillserr, who
had assumed the name, as the best mode of bringing
the lady to the spot where matrimony is most easily
tommitted. Jark Pigtail (Mr. Mt snest), with his
wife and daughter, bring up the rear, the old Tar having
been written to by Swildsore for pecuttlay assistance,
in his anxiety' to afford which lie follows him in his
journey to grotland. The piece concludes with the
I marriage of Sarifitare and Emily, after various per-
plexities, and the disappointment and disgrace of Flank.
t possesses sonic of the best materials of a good farce;
namely, bustle, laughable situations, ludicrous incidents.
and occasionally, some spirited dialogue. But with
these qualities, the denouement is so clumsily managed.
that It must be considerably altered before the piece will
pass off wi:h

The following anecdote we have received from in-1
disputable authority :--In the course of last summer
a convict-ship was lying in the river, having on board'
a cargo of females, who had pleaded to the minor'
offence of hsfing forged note. in their possession, and
' were then in consequence about to be transported.'
When, on the point of sailing, a person, said to be
I commissioned by the Bank, made his appearance
among the prisoners, and presented each with a fire
pound note. This unostentatious act of generosity
and ki4efoces ought certainly not to be withheld from
the public.. We should like, however, to know whe-
thee the same easislence It humanely extended to all'
perliour, mole and feasible, transported tinder the same '
eirentastanses, or. for ease praissevertAy realise, mere-
ly given to those in this particular Air.
OF.ATLI or Taw as.—Jean Lambert Tallien, of re-
volationary notoriety, died at Paris on the IGth, aged
tI. The arrest and destruction of Robespierre were
owing- to Tallien. He rushed to the Tribune, expe-
-1
' tiateu upon the crimes of the revolutionary govern-
ment, drew forth a dagger, and turning towards the
bust of Brutus, swore that he would plunge it in the
heave of the ty:ant if his colleagues refused to break
the chains of their enslaved country. Robespierre de-
sired to reply, but in vain. They would not hear
! him, bat passed on to the decree which sentenced hint
to the scaffold. Tallien married Madame de Fontenay,
the present Princess of Chimay.

Palmer was boarded from the island by a party, who
informed them that an excellent spring of sweet water
had been found in the interior of this small Wand.
This furtunafe discovery had been bail, d with ninth

On Monday, the 13th instant, a meeting was eon-
timed as the phatel of St. Lawrence, in Ashburton, by
Ilr. Tooker, is Portreeve, for the purpose of congra-
tulating the Queen on her escape from the snares of
Iser enemies. An Aiblress was prepared and carried
without a dissentient voice. It was proposed to tes-
,Sify their joy by an illumination, but Mr. tiervis, Mr.

rect the error, and prevent such a misrrpresentatio■
causing any uneasiness to Mr. Lewis, we insert,d a
brief contradit:tion on the followieg day. Finding,
however, that Mr. Lewis has considered himself rzuch
aggrieved by the paragraph in questi.m, toe are
desirous of relieving his mind, by giving still
further publicity to a correction of the unfortunate
error t accompanying this statement, with a siircero
avowal of the greatest regret at the tic •urrence of moth

to remove any impression that might oti.crivise be

Mr. Lewis, as conveyed to us in his letter, is manly
' and deserves our approbation and our thao'rs. As
an act of justice mine to Mr. Lewis, and to the public,
we have discbarg•d the Reporter who conuni!terf
