EMPLOYMENT THE REST MEANS OF RELIEVING THE POOIL We are toli that a hive of youn , Bees wag earned from Poland to Batavia, and there stationed in a de . 44160 garden, of large extent, furnished ‘vitli tine richest profusion of fragrant herbs and flowers, where plenty soon corrupted their disposition to labour ; and the stock or honey which they collected, during the first monilis of their settlement, was of little value ; awl as the expeetcl winter did no ensue, and they continued to enjoy abundance in this happy climate, they became improvident of futurity, and were no lon ,, er at the pains to store their cells with what thol, which bountiful Nature at all seasons provided tin- them. No less in jurious to mankind is that misapplication of wealth which may serve to nourish sloth or to supersede the ncoessity of huniati labour. The path of indostr. , is the path of wisdon and of peace. Industry tranquillizes the mind—it gives light in darkness—it brings com fort in despair—it humanizes mankind—" sec simit esse reros." Industry is the only cure fin- indigence. Property may avail herself of the fetters which belong to aims, and the Mahometan may build his hopes upon them ; but the Church of • England is not content with such inferior duties : her Members understand that a man may bestow all his goods to feed the poor without Cha rity, and that without Charity, all he has done pro!itcth him nothing. Charity gives a poor man ensidoyment, and pays him srages'(the wages of virtue) ; but what is gken ia alms, is received as the fruit of idleness. "If every just man, that now pines with want," had but employment given him, England-would be herself again: remove the cause, and the effect will cease. Let then the attention of the well-disposed be directed to the rwpkyment of the poor ; and do not let them rest satis fied in giving the bread of idleness to those who, if they can work, and will not work, have no title, either by the laws of God or man, to eat bread. Have we then no National impnwernents to betake turselvcs to—no resources at home, where the indus trious poor may be tulvuntageously employed, both in a tvinporary way as it regards themsAves, and in a per manent way us it regards posterity ? h this Island arrived at sacs► a state of perfection, tliat no new channel can be openei in which human lalxmr can be wisely spent? He who will seriously bend his inind to questions like these ; and can point . . out a way of applyino. human lalour in works condu cive to nati o nal wealth and prosperity ; awl is able to .excite the generous sentiments and co-operations of the Is;:bility and Gentry of this still favoured island in a Nell-timpl application of his measures, will, in the pag cc:a of fa-ty thousand poun:ls as roams, rlo a thousand ries wore real and substantial good than he wk.). hy ex caing then to acts qf generosity, can raise a ,l'und of eighty thousand pounds to be girt'n lathe poor gratis, and n ,! as a recompenceibr their labours. Founts, Tat.t.irfos—Tuestlayo' liarrid Garver was in dicted for receiving from Charlotte Antony two ulcer spoons, the properly of.Georgesmishine, well knowing them to have been stolen by the said Charlotte Antony. Elizabeth Sunshine resided with her father, George Sun shine, in Cretwell•street, Spitaltimils; Charlotte Antony also resides there with her grandfather, George Suessliime ; wit ness missed the Silooll4, and tin inquiry of Antony, she went to the prisoner's house iu rryingpan•allty„ Petticoat-lane, where she kept a bonnet shop, Inn Its ed principally by the antient art of fortune-telling; witness at first pretended that she wanted the future events of her life (I . ..closed to her, but snout stated her real errand, and accused' her of having the property in question this she denied with dreadful harpy°. ati 11l but the witness told her, if she '.11 , 1 not return the duplicates, she would take other means to obtain it; she then lett the prisoner, and in about half an hour afterwards the latter came to the witness's lattice's house, told her where she lived, and brought her the duplicates, saying, " Here are your duplicates, Charlotte brought them to me." John Goadwell, a pawnbroker, produced the spoons, which the prisoner had pawned with him; tic y were nest pawned iii the name of (larva, but three days after she came and'had it altered to that of Ann A iaterson. Charlotte :Antony, grand-daughter of the proseentor, lived in October last with her a rtiodfutlivr ; latte:ly she had lived at the Refuge for the Destitute ; in October last she went to the prisoner about a bonnet, sailor the latter asked her to have her fortune told, saying, " You aye keepitig company with a yams; Man, and it he is not married he will appear to you in a dark room." She then put witness into a dark room, and while there, site saw something in the appearance ut a man, which so terrified her that she fainted away, and was tarried to a surgeon, who hied her and brought her to her senses ; she paid the prisoner lid. for telling her fortune, but not contented with that, the prisoner asked her if she could not get NOM. thing to make money of, assuring her it would never he found out. Witne-s at last went in and took the spoon* in question, which she gave to the prisoutr, who want tl her to take an oath never to disclose olrat, she had dune, but this the witness refused to do; she was therm prevai:eil upon to return to-the prisoner's house, with whom she went in the evening to the Royalty Theatre, and, after they re• turned, the old wi etch, the prisoner, was ardent in her in treaties that the poor girl sl Id consent to su6snit to prostilit• tion! One day she had gone out, and met the prison,T out London Bridge, who asked her where she lead been since she last seen her; if site bad been at home? and conch icde'uh by saying," If you will come to Hooper's Garden: I have a niee little room, and we will live together." Witness refused, and when she returned to the Refuge for the Destitute she told what had passed, in consequence of which the prisoner was apprehended.— The Outimon serjeant said," prisoner, von have been con victed of a most heinous and atrocious offence, fitr yon all in moor passer to Mill this poor girl, soul and body. and .lltieffi g ii it would 1w waste of time to mak- an iaipres sing on your I, lost es it is to every feeling of virtue and humanity t yet, I %%mild have the public to k , that crimes like yeurs most receive the utmost punishment of the law, o hieli in your ease, is transportation." • .

In constquenee of the late accident on the river, the Lord Mayor Isas wrote a letter to the Contractors for the South wark bridge, respecting the continued practice of watermers con eying so great a number of persons in their boats as to coital:ger their lives. His Lordship also thought proper to summon the two waterinen (Barron and Dixon), in whose host tic tiafortonate persons were wet, to appear before him, under the Act which makes it a felony for waternien to carry more than six persons, should death ensue. They attended on Friday, and were examined, but as they were brought up more for the purpose of example than punishment, they were disci: urged. His Lordship stated, that the penal ties were, for the first offence in conveying more than eight persons 51., for the second 101., and for the third disfranchise ment, or prohibition to ply tOr 12 calendar months. In the event of the loss eta life, resulting trout such transgression, seven years' transportation. lie gave orders that the Act should be printed, and immediately sent to all waterinen. With respect to the two prisoners he had learned that they were not negligent, and that their conduct had been without reproach ; that the workmen had crowded into the boat against their ineLm.tion, and left them no alternative but that of ahandoning it to unskilful hands, which might have roe dered the passengers liable to the same fate, or joining in the 'writ. Samnlay .1. Charchill, was charged with stealing a box from the cart of Mr. Wooltlird, of Illackwall, containing brass and copper of a considerable value, the property of Messrs. Laing and Anderson. The box it , appeared had. just arrived from Birmingham. and was conveying to the a...rehouse of the prosecutors, when the cart haviag stopped on its way in Geaccehureh.strect, the prisoner seized the IYA and endeavoured to escape; he was, however. overtaken with his le-d and secured. He was Cu lly committed for trial. ' GUILDHALL. A distreuing scene occurred Saturday at this office. four young funales not than twelve years of age each, were brought before. the 'Magistrate, being found begging in the streets repeatedly. The unfortunate young girls said, that they had been sent out upon the town by weir parents under an in 'unction, that they should bring ',tunic each a shilling daily, in of which they were severely beaten. The Magistrate aw, ing Iscstowed some strung aninotdver iuns uuon th- conduct of their relatives, ordered the poor eteisturcas to be pLwed in the si o?k-house and taken care of. UNION-HALL. 114170aT %MT TO BUILDF.IO4.--Saturday a Mr. Craye pretested an infoiniation against a Mr. Wright, for improperly building a house of the seventh rate in Lacks-fields. The complaii ant. who is a surveyor, having received intimation of the proceedings of the de tenilant, went to the house in question, which he found was building 411 a rroad instead of a srrentle rate ; that for the latter the Act spe eiticil that th.: walls should be a brick and a half thick, whereas, in . the present instance, they were but nine; incite:. Ile accordingly warned the defendant, taut the latter persisted in erecting the budd ing, and Mr. Nleyinot, another surveyor, was called in to declare his opinion and advice. but all to no purpose. Mr. Wright. said the building was intended for two houFei. Mr. Crays., in reply, said, that even the party wall in that case was but Milt( inch cs thiA, whereas it ought to be Mit-teem and a half. The Magistrates, after a full consideration of the case, decided that the building was a nuisance. and ordered the defendant to enter Into reco , ..,enizanees for thol. teriptill it down within . Po Move days. Another house belonging to the defendant was also. condemned • under similar circumstances. PRh:FERRED. The Rev. J. Reeve.
