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.

(i,SCounted them, had promised 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!

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.

From the Boston Evening Bulletin 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.

ATALA. 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 !
