against which. unfortunately. the public have pee as
yet rreived the adequate protection of the laws. The
exposure of the system so generally practised La. the
ell' of London by a certain class of swindlers, sad of
the names of the parties, may, however, pretty pates-
sively compensate fot the difficulty of bringing thees to
condign punislnest.

liberty. received promise that the card should sot
be circulated. A day or two after, there was a owe
unequivocal proof of the intention of Salt. The large

objections. Salt then disappeared, but was met sus

priioner was engaged in two other concerns at she

collected at the door of the prisoner.
The Loan MAYOR said, the prisoner had gone '4 very
near. the tried," and certainly was criminal in a vary
high degree, although the law could not recognise his
committal. Hie Lordship, after having Mobbed .61m
to look to his future conduct, told Mr. Braggenkate,
that if be could lay his hand upon the parties who 'as-
sisted Salt, be might indict them all for a conspiracy.
The prisoner was then discharged.
Bow-entany.—Sir ft. BIRMIC lately received
communications from his • Excellency the Dutch Am-
.bassador, the Attorney-tieneral and other inhabitants
;of Whitsball-place and Privy-gardens, complaining of
annoyances to which they were snbjected:by a great
number of the lowest order of women of the town who
infested those places at night. It was stated that no
person could approach the houses after‘unset without
being compelled to witness scenes of the most disgust-
ing kind. Sir Richard, in consequence, ordered An-
naadale, Jones, and others of the constables, to appre-
hend all the girls found there, and yesterday about a

custody and committed till the Sessions.
Marks Powers. Mary his wife, Joseph Atkins,
Jane his wife, Asia Biggs and Mary Jour, were
brought up from St. Clement's watchhouse, charged
in the night book with robbing Mr. --, a surgeon,
of very respectable connections.

It appeared by the statement of the watchman, that
Mr. --, in striate of excessive intoxication had Iselin
inveigled into the house of Powers, by the girls Biggs
and Janes, and there 'plisndered of every thing he bad
in his pockets--a &L not., a gold watch, and setters!
'other things: Powers himself had led to their appro.
heavies by goiog to the watchhouse, and stating that
a drunken gentleman was at his boast, and that as
be knew him to have money altini Gam, 'fie Wished '
the constable to send somebody to see that all was
right. The constable went himself, and found air.
-- stretched oat at length 'in the passage, ~ deed
drunk."' and his pockets completely turned out.. This
being the case, he took— all the people in the I,4ttso
into custody, and had them conveyed to the watch-
house. together with the drunken gentl.mati. who be.
gait to get a little sober towards wuriliug, and then he
described his loss.
The Magistrate called upon this gentleman, who
stood before him covered with mud and shivering with
cold, for his account of the affair ; but he declined
saying any thing aboutit ; he appeared, indeed, to hr
utterly ashamed of his situation. and only ansittua to
get out of it as soon as possible. Some time was
spent in expostnlatiug with him on the duty he .wed
to the public, but it was useless;
