- —— - * 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. VOLIN I 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. Charleston Courier.
