The nefarious practices of a steindiing itrpc-rer hie
made no trifling noise in this town. It is now, perhaps,
nearly a month since he made his unwelcome appearance
here. lie then took handsome apartments in the
fashionable purlieus of German-place lint being, at
length, importuned for rent, he rave up lois watch as a re-
curtly until he received a remittance from town. (In
the same day, however, he took fresh apartments i'
liread•str .0, where. succeeding in drawing the proprieto:r
into a belief that lie was connected with several notie fa•
Indies then residing in the town, he contrived to proestro
a loan, which again put I int in possession Obis watcgo.
Articles from various shops, clothes from tailors, under
different names, and various pretenses; none of whirs
he paid for, he was hut too snecessful in procuring. Mr.
Lncombe, of St. James's-street, had made up for him a
complete suit at no ordinary expense, hut suspicions
arising from circumstances, he was enabled to take
measure oi his intektions, ip time ,to procreg his /roe
petty. Mr. L. is an intelligent tratman, and nut very
easily duped. The impostor, at length, had the :mi.,-
city to show himself in the grounds of the Palace, to en-
quire after a nubleman, who, of course, he knew at
that time was absent. His Majesty's porter front
Carlton Palace, Wright, then saw him for the ft. st
time, who answered the opestions pat to hint, but so
strong was the impression to his disadvantage, which
the behaviour of the fellow left on the porter's mint%
that on his leaving the grounds with a pronniee to rail
I again, he lost no time in sending for Sawyers, the poiit
officer, who was ,ran y hours sabseqnently in attendacce
to give him a suitable reception. The swindler, Low-
' ever, did not reap ; and the next day it was foan•l
that lie had succeeded in hiring a horse from the livery
stables of Mr. Camp, and in leaving he town. It since
appears that he continued his route, on horseback. moil
he reached an inn at Reelhill, to the master of sth:t•li he
announced himself as a King's messenger from the Pa-
lace at Brighton, and proceeding in an urgent and im-
rtant Isosiness to his Roval Highness the Duke of
York, and declaring. with all the symptoms sit anxiety
and mental distress, that in the sodden manner in whit ia
he had been hurried off, he had unluckily left his
pocket-book in the table drawer of his 11n...ship-roma.
and was consequently without the means of detrayine
the incidental expeuces of his journey. This tale, from
the unsuspecting innkeeper, not only obtained for
him a loan of several pounds. but a pest-elvt;se
and four fresh horses, to convey him to town with
all possible rapidity. The chaise proceeded with
him to the stable-raid, in St. James's-street, rAcre
halted, the horses smoking under the effect of their
journey : he then alighted, anti desiring the postillion'
to wait, he left them, with a promise speedily to front,'
The poor fellows did wait, until the singularity of the
circumstance struck them, and induced enquiries; lasi.
the bird was flown, thonglo as to whither has nut yet
been ascertained. The horse hired of Mr. Camp was
advertised, with a proffered reward of five rinses to any
lien. on who should restore him to the owner. This
brought the animal from Red-hill, and the reward of-
fered was paid. In person. the precious ferow Isere
spoken of, is somewhat above the common stature, has
a florid compleeion. thick lips, with a scar on the tight
side of the upper one, and floes not appear to be more
titan levee or eight-and-twenty years of age. His clothe:
are of the dandy cut, and, open the whole, lie is relied
a remarkable object than otherwise.
A boat loaded with contraband spirits, in !small kegs,
was ran ashore somewhat to the east of the`(urine
Library, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the night
of Friday. The united body of assistants were sess:nhlod
on the beach to receive her, but, unknown to the mul*:-
lode, several of the preventive rust officere heel contrive-I
'to mix with them. Al soon as the boat struck, two ol
'those officers rushed into the inter, and granpled her
by the gunwale—hut a deeperate effort of the crew ins -
tienly got the boat afloat ',vain. In this dilemma. one of
the officers retained his hold for some time, hut. at length
let go, awl load to swim for kis life. It is said, however.
that had he been in actual danger, and debilitate of the
art to keep himself buoyant, there were those on the
strand who would have extended to hiss the t;esireell
assistance. The boat and crew es -aped.
