POETICAL SELECTIONS,
FROM TUF. IVEF.KLT INSPECTOR.
The following address from a Lady, to Dr.
Caustic, one would suppose, would have a
tendency to soften the heart of the old Peri
patetic; or at least, induce him to correct
some of his (run faults and foibles, before he
falls pell mell upon the fair sex
YOU say we’re fond of fops—why not.
When men of sense cannot be got ?
A woman, something must admire,
Or else with ennui expire.
O Doctor! listen to my pray’r—
A lesson for proud man prepare:
There is a fault you must confess,
Most men of wit and worth possess.
They seem to think in woman’s mind.
But very little sense to find;
And therefore when they condescend,
Perchance an hour with us to spend—
•
Think it impossible to please,
\\ ith their profound sublime idras:
But sit in silence, most heroic,
Plodding, like philosophic stoic.
Upon nty word. I do not know,
Aught more provoking here below ;
Than thus to sec a man, who might,
1 ill every soul with pure delight,
Sit pondering with thought profound,
On follies of each female 'round;
Then wonder at our want of spirit,
And blindness to his worth and merit.
Now in my .mind, pert prattling beaus,
Arc more amusing, far, than those;
I grant sometimes a man you find,
With reason, wit, and genius join’d;
With each united charm and grace,
Which fascinate the female race;
One whom no prejudice controuls,
To think us destitute of souls.
Should such a man as this advance,
The fop will stand but little chance;
Believe me, sir, our sex you’ll find,
To mental worth is never blind.
The man of mind we more admire.
Than perfect forms, or fine attire:
Most women will the fop despise,
When men of sense shall be so wise,
As to discard, Turk-like opinions,
That women are but Nature’s minions;
Made for a while to please the eye,
To nourish man, and then to die !
When you do this we’ll bid adieu,
To lap dogs, fops, and monkies too;
Reserving all our admiration,
For MAN, THE GI.ORY 01 CREATION.

LONDON POLICE.
MANSION-HOUSE, AUGUST 30.
A gigantic and eccentric Hibernian
seaman, named Gough, which has been
taken into custody by the peace officers
on Friday, for riotous conduct, break
ing windows, and raising a mob oppo
site the East-India house, was brought
up from the Poultry Compter, where
he had been in durance, to answer for
his conduct, and to say what surety he
could give to keep the peace, if he was
now liberated ? lie answered, “ the de
vil a peace he wanted to break at all at
all, if the people who made such a noise
about the peace would let him alone in
peace and quietness, and not be insult
ing him, or making game of his coun
try.”
The magistrate told him he thought
it would be belter to let him remain
where he was until Monday, when his
temper would be less ruffled, and his
mind more cool. To which he answer
ed, “ that the devil a ruffle he wished
(o wear on his temper, and as to cool
ness, lie was as cool as a cowcomer;
and "no wonder for him to be cool; for
the devil burn the bit he had eat, since
he had the honor of seeing his lordship
last, but bread and water.”
The magistrate told him he was still
confident it would be better for him to
remain a few days. To which he an
swered, he hoped his honor did not
main to send him back to that shabby,
hungry place where he was ; for sure,
he did not think that a man like him,
could live upon three half pence worth
of bread in a day. AH he wanted was
to go borne to Norlhcnd, where he
lodged, to get clean linen ; but if his
Worship ivould lend him a clean shirt,
and send him a right sort of dinner to
day and to-morrow, he had no objection
to stay till Monday.
The magistrate then asked him if he
would go on board the Enterprise Ten
der! To which he answered, “ Sure
he was there already, for a whole night,
double ironed, hand-cuffed, and gagged,
for only damning the King and Govern
ment, and how could he help it, when
a blackguard press gang almost cut him
to pieces, in the name of the King and
Government ? He had no occasion to
go on board the Enterprize, when he
only wished to go into the service in
a ship he knew, the Salvador del Mun
do, at Plymouth, where he was well
known to the officers. He had just
come from India in a company’s ship.”
The magistrate told him, lie was his
friend, though perhaps he did not know
it; and only wished to keep him out
of harm’s way. He looked like an hon
est fellow; and if he would promise not
to get tipsy, or break any windows, or
strike any person, but go directly out
of town, hewould liberate him.
1 o this he answered, “ Very possi
ble bis Worship might be his friend,
though, to be sure, he had a d d
odd way of shewing it. Perhaps his
Worship was one of his own trade ; he
was a cabinet maker born , and so was
his lather before him, and both were
reared among the chips. If he had
kept the fifth commandment , he need not
be there now, nor any where else
er ; as to getting tipsey, devil a spoon
ful would he drink till he left town, if
all the water in London was turned in
to liquir; nor a window would he break.
Ilis honor was pleased to say he look
ed like an honest fellow, and God Al
mighty wrote it upon his forehead....
Hut as to striking any body, he had
more regard for his health , for he was
a double-jointed man> and if he struck any
man a blow with his fist, he would knock
the brains out of his head, if he had any
brains in it."
The magistrate upon this solemn
promise to be quiet and leave town im
mediately, ordered him to be dis
charged.
SWINDLING.
The following act of swindling, which
for boldness and cunning, would not
suffer by a corpparision with any which
the city of London has afforded, was
practised in this city the present week.
A genteel person, possessing all the
exterior appearances of a gentleman,
took lodgings about a week since, at a
reputable publichouse in King-street.
He stated that he was recently from the
state of Georgia, and that his name was
Brown. On Monday morning he took
a horse and rode a few miles out of
town ; and meeting on th« road three
waggons, coming from the country,
loaded with cotton, he stopped them,
and told the drivers that he wished to
purchase their loading; he stated to
them that the market price for cotton
that morning was 19 cents per lb. but
that, as he wished to make up a parcel,
he would give them 20 cents. A bar
gain was accordingly made, and he in
formed them that he was a partner in a
certain house in King-street, where
they were to deliver their cotton, and
receive their pay in s/tecie. He then
left the waggons, and came immediate
ly to town, and going to the gentleman
whom he had named to the waggoners
as his partner, he informed him that
he had three waggons then coming in,
loaded with cotton, which he would sell
to him at a moderate price: The gen
tleman agreed to take it at 19 cents.
The waggons arrived, were unloaded,
and the cotton weighed; when Brown
makes out the bill, amounting to 1200
dollars, and receives the money from
the gentlemen in bank bills. All this
time, the gentleman purchasing the cot
ton, supposed Brown to be the owner
of the waggons, whilst the unsuspect
ing countrymen believed him to be a
partner in the house. On receiving
the money, Brown stepped out to the
waggoners, and shewed it to them, ob
serving at the same time, that he had
not the specie in the store, but, if they
would wait, he would go down to the
bank and bring it to them in dollars.
Not harboring the most distant suspi
cion of fraud, the waggoners agreed to
wait for him. But, instead of going
to the bank, he made off, ami has not
since been heard of.
