As she advanced towards the fan, every wie anticipated that she would be overturned and precipitated into lily sticam. She kept her sea', however, with great presence of mind, and, amidst loud cheers, shot the centre arch with as inuca dextetity as the most experienced waterman. A boy hearing her voice shortly after she had made this hazardous attempt, and fancying she wanted a pilot, rowed towards her, and took }ter irtO ids wherry, when he linuttl around ter neck a parchment scroll, stoting, that she had come from Richmond Bridge, and directing, if she should reach Loudon in safety, that 6he should be conveyed to a Mrs. Claike, in High-street, in the Borough, who would'reward the hi inger. The boy, in pnrsnanre of these instructions, conveyrd poor puss to Mrs. Clarke, who seemed to be apprised of the circumstance, and rewarded the mes senger with half a crown.--It turned out that the voyage was un evrtaken for a wager between two Riehmond Gentlemen, and that ions; was emharked at the turn of the tide in the course of the night, .dud happily reached her destinatiou without suAalnim: any injury.

EDITOR,—As the public at large seem much disposeel censure the Publicans for the new regulation about to take pLr with respect to Pots, I beg to say for myself, as one of them, (:w I am sure I speak the sense of the great body) that I am r►r fr o thinking the measure will - prove conducive to their interest , . This proposed revival of an obsolete Act of Parliament, will, think, and most of the Vietnallers with whom I am accinaint( think so too, only have the effect of gladding the hearts of t Small Beer Brewers. Instead of occasionally losing a Pot, v shall lose the sale of many a butt of Porter. Table Beer Viii ! the order of the day, as this will be preferrtd to Porter, das!i through two or three vessels in succession. But it' the Act in question will relieve the Pablicau from the ; eessity Of sending out I'ots, why, 1 pray, was it not resoited to I. tine? Why have those most active in the business been srpianderi large sums of money year after year in endeavouring t' gain a lit Act ? Why was this done if the former were sufficient ? Surely th ought to have been ascertained in the first instance. If it will plover their purpose, it will prove their conduct was as absurd in tempting to get a new enactment, as I am confident it will 5C(' in thus bringing forward a dead letter on the Statute Book. My object in stating this, is merely to assure you, that the Publi cans arc not generally in favour of this plan. The majority of them are dragged into it, and I have reason believe, the measure is principally supported by a party of Speculators, who have jot established a Small-Beer Brewery, and ivhose names 1 will shortly make public.
