SEDDON-STREET VAGARIES.

{id THE EDITOR.] Sir—-Supposing you were situated 'Bs I am amongst men and women of deputed character, arid you were trying to gain an honfest living by your labor, lor which you paid £b and sometimes £6 per anmlm fxir the privilege, and Supposing were sometimes annoyed by this fraternity, who defraud the Revenue, the public, and I am afraid Specially the hard-working miner : now, 1 ask you What you would do with them? You will perhaps ask me how they anttoy me, and why I don’t tell the police. To the first I answer not by stealing my ducks, although some there may be who suffer in that wav ; nor do they come openly to do it, for if they did-, 1 would not ask your advice ; but with a three-foot length I would leather th'e whole union of them. But come at an hour selected by such night prowlers to carry on their faeferioiis trade] and take away my unfortunate sign-board and plant it, not tinder a bed, for it is larger than a duck, but in the water-dam or down a Shaft; and that they may do once too Often. They have been heard to use threatening language for which they hre marked—the execution of which would string them by the neck. And my answer to the second is that I am hick arid tired frriro appealing to the police; so much so that lam now and mean to continue a policeman for myself ; and I pity the animal that tans foul df me, dr my engines. We want such a Ulan as Detective Brown here. If you ever hear any individual “Stop, thief!” collar him, and see whether he is riot one himself.—-t am, &C.j PoRtORH H'oße.
