j. p. MEREDITH, ESQ.
perhaps there never was a greater dupe
1 to villains in this country than the unlortu
-1 nate Meredith, who died a few days ago in
1 the King’s bench prison. The following
I extraordinary case is one of the numerous
I instances in which vanity and credulity
1 were worked upon with success :—About
1 seven years ago he rented a furnished house
lin Park street where he was surrounded
V bv the most dashing swindlers in England.
I One of the fraternity, a captain in lhe ar
I my, wormed himself into the confidence of
I fleredith, whose house was immediately
R opposite to that of a noble lord who had
two or three beautiful daughters. Mere
[ (Jith fancied himself beloved by one of
those young ladies and his friend encour
aged the fancy for his own purpose, and
told Meredith that if he had spirit, and m,i
niged the thing well he might get the girl
Tue first thing to be done was to procure
an interview, and Meredith's friend re
commended an immediate correspondent.
A love-letter was written to the lady by
the lover, and the captain’s servant who
was to be well paid, was employed to de
liver it. This trusty messenger delivered
the letter to his master, who wrote an au
gwer in the lady s name, stating her regret
that she could not see her dear Meredith,
as she was obliged to go off to Ireland, in
consequence of his Majesty s determination
to visit thai country, where she hoped to
see her beloved. Meredith, delighted at
this avowal, proposed an immediate jour
ney, and requested the captain’s company.
The latter replied that the thing required
great caution and tact ; and that as he owed
£3OO or J&400 in Ireland, he could not face
that country without that sunt. This dif
ficulty was soon removed. The captain
gut the required amount from his dupe, and
off to Dublin they went, where the corres
pondence was resumed, the answers of the
young lady becoming so warm that Mere
dith wrote to her to “ run off with him at
once “ Yes, said she, in her reply, “ 1
will run away with you, but, unfortunately,
my family have become acquainted with
ray passion for you, and are resolved to
take ine off to the seat jf a nobbman, about
60 miles from town. I shall . however,
write to you, and let you know how to pro
ceed. The letter concluded with strong
approbation of the address and talent of the
servant in managing the correspondence.
This was a severe check to Meredith’s
hc*pes, but tb© captain cheered him up, and
told him that his servant’s assistance would
release a girl from the protection of the
devil himself'. Another letter wis sent,
2tid another received. The lady described
her situation as wretched in the extreme,
trad vowed that she could only be happy
with her lover, but she could not move
without bribing the servants, for which pur
pose she required a couple of hundred
pounds The money was supplied, aud the
time ol starting was appointed. i> eredith
was to be reidy w ith his carriage at a spot
adjoining the estate on which she was on
a visit. He was punctual. After having
waned lor some time in great suspense, he
petceived a lady elegantly attired , running
Bistijy towards him. “Oh ! dear Mere
ditti, sh e exclaimed, “I am pursued—the
ifur ai,tS are a * ter me — sa ve rue, save me
with my life,” cried Meredith, and lifted
her into the carriage. “ Halloo !’ said two
or three savage-looking fellows, who had
just sprung out of a ditch, with cudgels in
meir hands \ 4 where are you galloping with
°rar young mistress?” and without more
words, they laid their sticks so heavily upon
. P°°r inamorato % shoulders, that he
yielded up his puzo without any further
®ffmt, and drove off in a state of mind and
> not easily to be described. But, al
oogh Meredith’s ardour sustained - -me
jhenient, that of the young lady was as
r ®ntasever. She wiote to him. depl**r
-IJe mishap, and told vm that her fa
had resolved to seud her to Paris, 1
here she hoped to the only man she j
gloved, and many him. The credit- ,

and the amount to Pans. The ad-
vice was adopted, but no girl was to be
found, and no money was forthcoming.—
The captain then said he would return to
ascertain the cause of the delay, but Mere
dith was not long by himself, when be
learned that his disinterested friend had g* t
the bids cashed, aud determined to keep
tiie produce for the trouble he had been at
in aiding the acceptor in his p oj ict of a
noble connexion At the same moment
be received this disheartening intelligence,
a letter arrived from the lady, dated Lon
don, and recalling her lover from France.
At length he suspected that he was hum
bugged, aud upon his return to England, he
despatched a friend to the nobleman with
the whole of the correspondence, which
was at once declared to be uothing but a
hoax, by his lordship, who said that his
daughters had been in Hampshire all the
time Mr. Meredith was wandering about
in his Quixotic expedition. So blind was
the unfortunate Meredith, and so com
pletely imposed upon by the captain, that
although tiie latter scarcely took the trou
ble to disguise bis hand-writing, Meredith
was indebted to the Post-office inspector
for the information that the captain’s let
ters and the love-letters were ail in the
writing of the same person. The next step
the poor dupe took was after his accep
tances ; but his worthy friend had obtain
ed their value, and Meredith was compell
ed to take them up. The robbery thus
effected upon the wretched subject of this
article, within four months, by the captain
and his servant, who was no other than
the captain’s half-brother, amounting to no
less than 3E1,700!

JEnterprize in Navigation —James Mo

Tiiis is the first time, the River Haw has
been navigated from a point so high up.—
The boat used was a boat 60 feet in length,
was capable of carrying a hundred barrels
of flour, and would draw when laden, about
16 inches water. We understand that no
very serious impediments were found in
the descent, which occupied betweeii 5 and

LONDON POLICE.
There is no place perhaps where the arts of
rogues and thieves are so thoroughly systema
tized as in London : or so great a number of per
sons exist, who are knaves by profession. A stran
ger, when he first vists London, will find himself
beset in the streets by sharpers, who are of res
pectable appearance and address, and on the look
out for new faces, whom they discover at a glance.
Theee people have what they term u choice India
handkerchiefs to sell, which they will show you in
private,” if you are credulous enough to follow
them to their dens. Nothing can exceed the dex
terity which is used in picking pockets and filch
ing handkerchiefs The business has been taught
scientifically, it has become a sort of legende
main ; and it has been said that there was once
regular schools for teaching youth the necessary
slight of hand. This was done by hanging up a
pocket and a purse, otie containing counters and
the other silver, each of them being “ hung about
with hawk’s bills,” and having a little bell at the
top. The pupil was instructed to take out the
silver and counters without gingling the bells,
which, when he had accomplished, his proficiency
w T as rewarded by styling him nyj/per and foyster ;
the former term signifying a cut purse, and the
i latter a pickpocket It would puzzle a stranger,
( however, at times, to decide which is the greater
knave, the thief who steals his purse, the consta
ble who recovers it, or the magistrate who grave
ly sits in judgment on the crime. Events have
! recently shown that the whole iniquity n.*y be
| the effect of combination between them. Police
j officers of high standing and pretension have been
| accused of negotiating with thieves aud robbers,
and proved to be something more than passive
agents in criminality. The compounding of fel
on, is assumed to be a merit, and the sufferer’s
only hope of reclaiming his property, lies in the
corruption of the magistrates. To such an extent
has the iniquity been carried, that it has become,
i through the agency of the Marquis of Lansdow n,
a subject of serious investigation by Parliament.
The following will suffice as an instance of the
prosent character of the English magistrates :
Some time ago a gentleman had his pocket
picked at the Doncaster races of a very valuable
gold watch. He immediately came to town, and*
proceeded to ono of the police offices, where h
stated his case, and applied for the assistance of an
officer to help him to recover the watch. The
magistrate to whom the gentleman applied refer
red him to one of the principal officers, who, on
hearing the case, and receiving a description of
the suspected property, promised his assistance.—
“ But,” said the officer, “ you must advertise your
watch, and offer a reward for it, before .1 can do
your business.” The gentleman accordingly caus
ed advertisements to be published, describing the
watch, and offering forty guineas for its recovery.
When this was done, the officer called upon him
saying, “ Your business is in a good train, sir ; I
have discovered w here your watch is, but you
must pay something more than the reward for it.
The fellow who has it is a d——d Jew.” The gen
tleman consented to give twenty guineas more.—
“If you will step to the office .at twelve o’clock to
morrow, sir, you shall have y©n?r watch,” said the
officer. The gentleman a#ende<Fa£ the‘appointed
hour, and the officer was Called in, M Well, B.”
said the magistrate, “ what'haVe you done about
this gentleman’s
for him, your worship,” said the.officer,™ and here
it is, drawing the precious bauble from his fob and
presenting it to the magistrate with one of his best
bows. “ Upon my word,” said the magistrate em
phatically, “ you jiave done it well, you deserve
great credit.” -Then turning to the gentleman,
and handing him his watch, he said, “ You sec, sir,
what w T e can do, jwhen we like td go about it.”
It is believed tyiat the British parliament will
interpose a salutary chock to this perversion of
justice.— Bost. Gaz.

The Man at the Toll Ga e. —Various
and deep were the musing* of Peter Pad
lock, whose slalom *wss oT'-die furnpike
gate, as a toll-gatherer, on tho road from
Bogglestown to Porridge ford.—The ira
velleis were “ few and far between,” who
passed in review in front of the little hut
wherein Peter’s official affairs were trans
acted; and while the foe fell into his purse
ruminat ions would arise in his mind, of and
concerning the respective personages, their
characters and destinations, who came and
went before his greedy vision Petei’s
chances for reflection were therefore am
ple ; and he improved them to their full
extent —for his intellect had little else to
feed upon. Though of a contemplative
temperament, Peter’s cogitations were of
ten haunted by a most inveterate spirit of
curiosity; and, while he very plausibly
weighed in the balance of imagination, the
several for;one# and destinies of such as
were preorcUuuod to pay at his gate, he
also indulged occftstonMly in exceeding wild
and unwarrantable conjectures.
One raw and misty morning, just as Pe
ter had swung open the huge gate, kindled
a birchen blaze in his lonely office, and
squatted himself cosily beside the jamb,
with a pipestem in bis mouth, and a nog
gin of cider in his left band, he fancied a
sound of approaching wheels. “Who the
plague, thought he, can be coming this way
at such an hour I It is something very un
common. It cau’t be Gil Gullet the but
cher ; for he only goes o’ V\ odnesdays. It
isn’t the Charcoal-man; for the wheels
move too quick for an ox-team. It must
be something ezraordimryV And so,
after another sipat the tankaid, Peter post
ed himself at the door of his tabernacle—
but he could see nothing for the fog, which
fast gathered in drops upon his out
stretched ear locks and %ye-lashes. The
sound drew nearer and the toll gatherei ad
vanced 2 paces towards the road. It must
certainly heave in sisht shortly, quoth Mr.
Padlock internally, at the same lime brush
ing off the dew that bespangled his oakum
coloured whiskers The rattling continu
ed, and evidently grew louder. Still noth
ing could be seen that bore the least affini
ty to a moving vehicle. Peter stood stilt
fartherforth, peering and blinking in every
direction, without success ; while the noise
and his ow n anxiety momently increased
His teeth began to chatter with chills and
expectation—his doublet was now drench
ed, aud he pondered on the application ol
somewhat warming to the inner man.-
Pendulous, his formidable queu slunk pi
tifully agahist his its vsry b nding,
of stout eelskin, being entirely softened in
to subjection Whereftirj| considered Pe
ter, I’ll just step in, finish the beverage,
and return in a trice.
So saying in a mood of melancholy im
patience, ho made good his retreat But
he had scarcely rested the noggin s earthen
rim upon his nether lip, when with a furi
ous whirl, and o, tremendous clatter of
hoofs, a carriage of some sort seemed to
pass the gate, as though drawn by the
I srteeds and driven by the horsemen of Jehu
! The whole region wrung and trembled.—
Peter resigned the cider with a sigh, an .
once more hastened to the high-wav. All
was again void in the prospect. Nothing
was distinct, save the departing hump, and
the roll, gradually subsiding along the invi
sible road. Peter’s optics were of no more
service than (hough he had been wrapped i
in the middle of a huge drab-coloured cloud.
He doubt* and whether he could most rea* j
suitably doubt Ins eyes or his ears—-lie e/en
questioned touching the of his:
own identity—and he concluded that, if he ‘
were himself, he should remain in a state ’
of uncertainty for an indefinite term of
time*
VY ith these wise meditations, he took a
seat in the door-way, leaning his cheek
mournfully upon one hand, aud grasping
courageously the handle of Ins cider mug
wiili the oilier. While in this frame he
was accosted by a rough voice, demanding
information concerning four run away horses
with a stage coach at their lieeis. ts l know
nothing ot them,” quoth Peter, in a tone of
dogged despondency. But they passed this
way, said the inquirer. lam not yet satis
fied whether I saw or heard them, replied
.he toll-man, without taising his head, or
relinquishing the mug handle. If I did not
see them, he resumed, there has been an
earthquake —and if I did not bear them,
m v ears and my eyes have changed places.
The alarmed stage driver, deeming his res
pondent stark mad, bolted in pursuit of his
coach* Poor Peter look to his bed, retir
ed from his perilous vocation, abandoned
all thoughts and surmhes of other people,
and in order to settle the misgivings of his
conscience, spent the remainder of his
days in self examination.

Ah !is she dead ? Poor thing ! What's trumps ?
—The man is dead, my dear, whom we employ

and which he fell into—
Is he ? I thought he would not recover— Play a
spade ma'am.
There were upwards of a thousand killed in the

will recover the use of his reason—
Oh ! I recollect, he rode against somebody.—

Soft as the zephyr’s gentle sighs,
Diffused .it stilly twilight hour :
Soft as the tint the rain-bow dies,
Or pearly dew, that gilds the flow’r :
Soft as the vesper note, that swells
By echo sweetly whisper’d o’er ;
Or sun’s departing ray, that tells
The day’s decline, to hill and shore :
Soft as these, my sighs ascend,
Known only to the midnight hour ;
Witnessed by the moon, that lends
Her silver beam to lifeless flower:
Firm as the tow’ring Alpine chain,
The links that bind my heart to thee;
Eternal as the snows remain
On Alpine heights, iny love shall be.

SONG.—By Mrs. Hemans.
Oh! cast thou not
Affection from thee ! in this bitter w T orld
Hold to thy heart that only treasure fast,
Watch—guard it—suffer not a breath to dim
The bright gem’s purity !”
If thou hast crush'd a flower,
The root may not be blighted ;
If thou hast quench’d a lamp,
Once more it may be lighted;
But on thy harp or on thy lute,
The string w r hich thou hast broken,
Shall never in sweet sound again
Give to thy touch a token !
If thou hast loos’d a bird,
Whose voice of song could cheer thee,
Still, still he may be won
From the skies to warble near thee;
But if upon the troubled sea
Thou hast thrown a gem unheeded,
Hope not that w ind or wave shall bring
The treasure back w r hen needed.
If thou hast bruis’d a vine,
The Summers’ breath is healing,
And its cluster yet may grow
Through the leaves their bloom revealing;
But if thou hast a cup oerthrow n
With a bright draught fill’d—oh ! never
Shall Earth give back that lavish’d wealth
To-cool thy parch’d lip's fever!
The heart is like that cup,
If thou w 7 aste the love it bore thee,
And like that jewel gone,
Which the deep will not restore thee:
And like that string ofliarp or lute
Whence the sweet sound is scatter’d
Gently, oh ! gently touch the chords
So soon for ever shatter’d !

REMARKS.
Cotton. —There has been a moderate demand
for Uplands during th week, and about 1200 bales
have been sold at from 10$ a 12 ; mostly at 10$ a
10f and 11 ; —6ome small lots at 11$ a 12. These
rates are from one-half to three-fourths of a cent
below our previous highest prices. Really ptirue
cotton is scarce, and will command 12 a 12 1-2
The stock in market for sale will not exceed 2000
bales, and nearly all that is now coming forward
from Augusta is intended for the New-York mar
ket. In S. Islands there has been but little done,
in consequence of the very small stock in market.
Groceries. —Our market is not well supplied,
yet sufficiently so, perhaps, for the season.
Some sales of St. Croix Sugar have been mado
at from 10 a 10 1-2 for fair to very good quality.—
New-Orleans sugars has become scare ; we know
ot no lot in market. Molasses is also scarce, and
prime retailing would meet with moderate stlcs
at 35 a 36. Prime Green Coffee is scarce, cad
would command 15 a 15 1-2 ; fair green, tolerable
plenty at 14 a 14 1-2 & f
Whiskey is rather improving, yet the demand
continues small. In some instances, one cent per
gallon advance, has been asked and obtained.
Salt. —None afloat.
