A few evenings ago a hackney coachman set down his fare (a lady and gentleman) in Duke- sued, Oxford-street, on examining his coach he found a lady's redicule, and desired the water- man to follow the parties who had just quitted the carriage, to inlorui them of the circumstance aodche nllmber of his coach, he being unable to go himself, another fare having taken him up. The waterman called on him the next morning, and gave the following account of his mission.— 1 goed after 'ern 'ere pair as fast as possible, but they doubled into -street, before me- "illyou believe it, Tom?-on turning the corner, | the gemman shook off the lady's arm—took a plaister (a cockade) out of his pocket, put it in his hat, and dropped behind the lady. 1 sair, blow me, you are funny ones, but I must ev Tom's business." 'Madam,' sajs 1, 'you left your bag in Tom D -'s coach.' 4 1 never wns in Tom s coach," says she.

Where did you pick them up ? in Sobo-square/' laid Tow ttud there the mailer rested.

BI?ER MONOPOLY.— We have frequently di- rected the public attention to the injustice of this monopoly, and to the injury by fl-,e country from it. If will he recoilt-cted that in the course-of .'as' Session of Parliament, when Mr. Brougham introduced his Bill for legalising of beer in shops, and Mr. Ftshc Palmer brought in a Bill to enable public brewers to sell a less quantity than four gallons and a half, tile Chancellor of the E*eliequer met both questions with n statement that the measures proposed were unnecessary, as by the present Ads, any person might brew beer and retail i', on paying the full duty of (en shillings per barrel (wholesale brewers ate allowed lOd. per barrel drawback), provided it was not consumed on the brewer's I)-,itlisej the wording of the Act of Parliament on this subject for a long series of years, they h;.ve been misconstrued, and a uiosi formidable and oppressive monopoly has thus h¡'en su!fer'(II!) eX IS! ihrl'ughfJllt Ihe c<I'Hllry.- j I" or the breaking up of this monopoly, the public are greatly indebted to Mr. John Allanu or Read. On reading the repeated statements of the j Chai»'rei1iir of the Exchequer, he resolved to be f"tly informed on the subject, and on application •'o the proper authorities, learnt, that if he rou- ble. preamble of the Ac's with the different Clauses, he would find the Chancellor of the Ex- ■ chequer w,ts perfectly correct. Having satisfied hio)s,.j( HS (0 ,fie (aw, Mr. Adams resolved imme- (o ici on it he purchased premises in one of tjle most populous parts of the town ol Read- aiid commenced erecting a i 2'>mpj £ ie brewery, which is IIOW in tJch a stafe of torwHfdoess, that he will begin to brew in the course of ttiis month. Such a beneifcial effect 'iils 'tie mere erecting of this brewery worked for 'he public, lhaf we are informed on authority on which we can rely, that the common brewers' I beer, not oniv fn iowm of Reading, but in the )uurl)o,),I, is alr-ea(ly grt,-afly iil)f;rove(I in loal-tty, and 'hat the Reading brewers have re- solv, ini \,jr> Adain.s*8 commencing by selling t whIch il is expected will beabolll Chlislmas) til lower the price of Mieir beer one penny per pot Reading will then be supplied with strong beer 4d. p,.r (]iiar( I we sincerely congratulate the Pllhtic UII the hlow IIJ!I given to the beer mono- polv.

The interest of (tie enormous sums, beyond their value, which public brewers have been in the habit, of giving for licensed houses- fur instance, a licensed house in the town of Newbury was sold by auction a few weeks since for one thousand guineas, take away the licence, and it is actually worth no more th>,n two hun- dred! How is the difference to be made up to the bi-ewel. ? By retailing a low article at a high price I We beg to give our thanks to Mr. Adams for his persevering inquiries on this important subject, and for the spirited manner in which he 's erecting a brewery which must greatly benefit IIle working classes of society and we have no he- s''atioji in declaring that, in destroying one of the tnoit odious monopolies that ever existed in any country, he has done a most essential service to the public. There is now in the windows of the print- shops, a view of Botany Bay, on a large scale. lis -woods, and mountains, and lakos, (Io say nothing of several rangt's of handsome huild- iligs) give it altogether so inviting- an aspect, Ihat there is some reasou to fearlhal very ar- dent lovers of Ihe picturesque may be inclined to commit a petty larceny, in order to enjoy a nearer view of such enchanting scenery.— Several pickpockets were observed on Thurs- day, viewing the sketch with more than the rapture of mere connoisseurs. PUBLIC BAPTism.-Great interest was cyrit- ed last Sunday -,it the Episcopal Jews' Chapel, III consequence of the liev. Hawlry an- nouncing the intended public baptism, that day, of a foreign gentleman of the Hebrew persuasion, On the doors being opened in I the eveniug, the concourse of persons assem- bled filled every seat. It is computed that up- wards of 1,000 persous were present—and in that number, about 100 Jews and Jewesges.- The gentleman about to enter the pale of Christianity was a native of Poland, about 40, and connected with some of the first families on the Continent. He arrived in England about three months ago. The organ, by a solemn air, announced the commencement of the ceremony, and Mr. Hawtry then read the prayers appointed for the service, in a maller that appeared to inspire the congregation with reverential awe. To the solemi) ques lions propounded by the Clergyman, the con- vert answered with a firm and audible voice; and on being sprinkled and marked with the sign of the Cross, be appeared deeply affected. In tbe prayer that followed, he joined most fervently, and at the conclusion seated him- self near the font. This is the second adult tttitt has been baptized in tbe Chapel within last month. After this part of the service Mr. Hawtry delivered an excellent discourse from the 45th ch. of Gen. 4th and 5th v. The great progress of Christianity in this counfry. and other parts of the globe, was dwelt upon with much force by the Rev. Getitiettiaiii- The individuals of the Jewish persuasion pre- sent at the ceremony remained during the whole of the ocrtice. f
TOTAL KEPEAL OF THE ASSESSED…
TOTAL KEPEAL OF THE ASSES- SED TAXES. We believe that we may confidently congratulate the public upon the certain repeal of the whole body oftise odious Assessed Taxes, in the course oi* the next Session. The deficiency produced by the repeal of these Taxes will, it is expected, be made good by the general improve- ment of the Revenue, by. the reductions lately made, and by the conversion <>J 130 millions of Four per Cents, into Three II per Ceti ts.-Loiidt)?z Packet.

We have reason to believe that the gross amount of the Revenue for the- quarter ending this day, which was es- timated some days ago to exceed that for the July quarter by £ 322,000, will in fact exceed the income of the July quar- ter by nearly half a million. The professed purpose of the French invasion of Spain has been at length ac- complished. King Ferdinand, and the whole of the Royal Family, arrived at Port St. Mary's on the 1st inst. So much we learn by a Telegraphic Dispatch, which reached Paris on Wednesday, but for the attendant circumstances we are left al- together to speculation. if we might be allowed to hazard a conjecture in such a case, we would say that the King and Royal Family seem to have been surrendered as a peace-offering, or a token of absolute submission, rather than employed as agents in a negociation for though the King alone might be sent in the character of a negotiator, the at. tendance of the other branches of his fa- mily would be of course superfluous; and the Cortes (if it existed) would, by sending them, relinquish its only hostage for the precarious fidelity of Ferdinand. {f, indeed, we may credit the French Papers, the state of terror, disunion, and civil war in Cadiz and the Island, dur- ing the last four days of September, was such, that the King did not seem very likely to be opposed in any step which he might think it proper to take. On the 25th, the final proposition of the Cortes, which was borne by Gen Alava, was rejected, unexamined, by the Duke d'Angouleme and the return of the Spanish General to Cadiz served as the signal for an universal consternation, attended by all the usual accompaniments of a great public calamity,—plunder, massacre, and every other form of outrage. Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman, in the Uahamar to his friend in London -44 The proceedings in London both in and out of Parliament relative to the abo- lition of slavery has created a ferment among slave holders, who appear to be justly alarmed at the proposition of de- priving them of their property-a horrid unjust measure-for the Parliament might as well take a spunge and wipe off the National Debt, or deprive men of their houses and lands in England, or any other property sanctioned by the laws.— It appears that the people of Liverpool, Birmingham, and other manufacturing towns, have petitioned Parliament for the abolition now it is notorious that it was with the wares and merchandize manu- factured at these places that the poor Africans were purchased, and that the wealth of those towns chiefly consist in the profits acquired in the African trade. Now, admitting that the Slave Trade was horrid and unjust, and that slavery ought to be abolished, it is insufferable to hear those that are living upon gain obtained by themselves and fathers in this trade, the first to cry out to have slavery abo- lished, at the expense of those people to whom their fathers sold the slaves. Now it occurs to me to be the most fair way, if the injury is to be sustained by private individuals, t hat the original traders should be the sufferers; let the people of Liver- pool, Birmingham, and other places, whose ships, goods, and capitals were employed so advantageously in this trade, disgorge their profits. But if we look upon it in a more enlarged point of view, as having been sanctioned by the laws, and there- fore a national crime. Let the Parlia- ment act as fairly to slave-holders as to II fund-holders, and appoint Commissioners to buy slaves and manumit in the same manner they buy stock, and transfer it to the public account. The different Legis- latures will, I suppose, adopt the mea- sures contemplated in Mr. Canning's re- solutions." The accounts lately received from Greece are in the highest degree favour- able. They cleailv demonstrate what can be done bv a brave and united people, who, throwing aside the pedantry of ora- torical patriotism, and the juggling of financial machinery, seriously resolve to work cut their freedom by valour and perseverance. We have to lament, that ;he affairs of Spain have too much di- verted the attention of the people of Eu- rope from the struggles of the gallant Gie.'ks and that even now the bustle of the close of the Spanish drama renders the affairs of Greece of comparatively in- ferior interest. W e cannot however fear, but that when the scene shall have closed upon the Spanish contest the attention of Ihe p ople of England will be again di- rected to the more jut and honourable' achievements of their Christian brethren of Greece. The operation of the Act passed last year, commonly called the New Vagrant Act, has recefill), excited a good deal of attention. Its penalties have been en- forced in some cases under circumstances which have been represented as frivolous or unjust.—The cases in question were of a very uninviting nature. We shall leave them, therefore, to those who have shown a taste for analyzing such matters —touching only upon the Act of Parlia- ment which is the real fountain of any abuse past or future. The great vice of this Act seems to be I the enormous discretion which it vests in Justices, who have by it the power of summarily consigning to imprisonment and hard labour for. any period within, three months, any person against whom so vague and comprehensive a thing as art act of vagrancy in the eye of the law shall have been proved. The Magistrates themsel ves were so startled at the sudden growth of their own authority, soon after the passing of this Act, that they aban- doned the arbitrary committal and punish- ment of one class of offenders—those en- gaged in unlawful games, tor the more moderate and constitutional mode of send- ing them to take their trials at the Scis- sions. The discretion of the J ustjf,, with respect to giving impunity, is ej^uallj revoltlllg-and, perhaps, more -diireasoti- able. He has the discretionary power of discharging the criminated person, 'c though an Act of Vagrancy be proved." Here, then, is a Justice of the Peace with his hands free to infiict three months of imprisonment and hard labour at the tread, mill, or to commit for trial at the Sessions, subject to the contingency of two years' hard labour with whipping at the discretion of the Bench of Magistrates --or, lastly, to diimiss, with entire im- punity, the same individual. This is ati extent of authority not vested in the Judges of the laud. The discretion is the more odious that it has a tendency to make the law a respecter of persons, than which nothing is more abhorrent from its spirit. An act of vagabondage proved against, suppose, a gambler, at unlawful games, of fashionable figure and condi- tion, and against some outcast wanderer in the public ways, might, under the shelter of this Act, be verv differently visited.-In the next place, the Magis- trates of the great metropolis particularíy, would be more than men, if they did not sometimes overlook justice, and abuse this Act. The number of vagrants brought before them is large, and those are, in the mass, of the lowest descrip- tion.—It is therefore to be expected, that they should pass summarily and oppres- sively, without thought, over the few exceptions in which persons may be charged as vagrants, from malice, or mis- take, or mercenary motives.—-Any per- son may apprehend a vagrant illSlanter; and bring him before a Justice, with the prospect of a reward of five shillings, upon proving the charge.—This is an- other incentive to abuse of the Act.-The reward is small, it is true. But the mode of raising a claim to it is easy and expe- ditious.-ft is unnecessary to recal the instances of monstrous conspiracy which were produced by the reward to prose- cutors whose capital convictions were obtained. Moreover, the extent of their power is calculated to turn the heads of the Magistrates. Its influence is distinctly ::> observable. The public must have re- marked ihe high tone -vssumed in the se- condary Police offices. The Chancellor and Chief Justice of England, in exer- cising what may be called the police of their Courts, assume incomparatively less authority within the precincts of their jurisdiction than a stipendiary justice.— On a wider view, the general tendency to extend the powt r of Magistrates, of which this Act is a part, deserves notice and reprehension.
