One evening, whilst he tilled the office i.tLord Mayor of London, he was busily engaged at a lull hazard-table at Brookes's, where the wst and the dice-IN's circulated together with great glue,, and .slarre Beau Brutsarasli was one of the party. 4• Come, iliasA•eub," said Brnesmell, who was the ouster, ".what Ju )ou set?" 4 .

ROGER W/LBRAHAM AND SIR PHILIP FRANCIS. The late Sir Philip Francis, who duiing many years of his life was a Member of the House of Commons, spoke on all" olUestions of importance, on the side of Opposition. He was the convivial companion of Fox, and daring the short administration Uf that Statesman,. WAS made a Knight of the Bath. Roger Wilbraham, who was also on the same side, came up one evening to the whist table, %here Sir Philip (who, for the first time, wore the ribald of the Order) was seriously en gaged in the middle of a rubber, and thus accosted him. l Laying hold of the riband, and examining u for some' time before he :poke, he at length said, " So, this is the way they have rewarded you at last—they have given you a little bit of red riband for your services, bir , Philip, have they ?—a pretty bit of red riband to hang about your neck; and that satisfies you, does it? Now, I wonder what I shall have ! What do you think they will give me, Str Philip?'' The newly made Knight, who had 25 guineas depending on the rubber, and who was not very well.pleased at the interruption, suddenly turned round. and casting on him a ferocious look, exclaimed," A halter, and be d—d to you." FIGHTING FITZGFGRALD. Whilst on the subject of sinister admission to the Club, the writer cannot do better than relate the very singular and whimsical manner in which Mr. Arthur Fitzgerald forced his way into Brookes s. This per sonage, it is well known, though nearly related to one of the first families in Ireland (Leirrster), was publicly executed in the year 1786, for a murder which he had coolly premeditated, and which he and others perpe trated in a most cruel and cowardly manner: The fame, or rather infamy, which encircled his brows, from having been the survivor in a great many duels, became at length the cause of the most ferocious haughtiness, and greatly increased his overbearing and quarrelsome disposition. His duelling propensities, however, kept him out of all the first clubs in London, and rendered him at once both an object of terror and of hatred ; and, even when he was introduced at the Court o. France, where single combat was not so much reprehended as in Great Btitain, the young Monarch (the unfortunate Louis XVI.) could not help chewing his abhorrence of a professed duelist, by uttering a most deserved sarcasm on Fitzgerald, and by refusing to admit him a second time to his levee. The Gentle man who introduced him (the English Ambassador) having said, .4 I have the honour - to introduce to your Majesty Mr. Fitzgerald, an Irishman, of high descent, who, in his time, has successively fought no less than eighteen duels, and always killed his man." The King replied, " Monsieur l'Arnbassadeur, I ha►e read your famous English history of Jack the Giant Killer ; and I think it might be greatly improved by adding tai: Irishman's life, by way of appendix. Let IliM retire!. His Majesty further observed to the Ambassador, in the duellists bearing, that if Mr. Fitzgerald shewed a dis 'position to quarrel with any of his subjects, .he should order him to quit France in 2+ hours.. _ _ replied the young rx lure little man; be qi pence when ye coney 'the /1101• Ina;; but for be . , as will as his ifitzgeralors violent contact with him it 4 The bell rang,again, and to !soother erAlter the ifp4 tient candidate put the invii r yet, *au/art' The ballotting It • ttcreo ytk, 'replied the man. " Not over 3 et r exclaimed Fitzgerald. " But sure there is no use of ballotting at all whets my dear friends ale all unanimous for enc to come in. Run, my man, and let me know how they aregetting on." Attar the lapse of another quarter of an hour, the bell rang so violently, as to produce a contest among the poor servants as to whose two it was next to visit the lion in his den; aad Mr. Brookes, seeing no alternative but resolution, took the message from the waiter who was descending the staircase, and boldly entered the room with a coffee equipage in his hand, " Did yos call for coffee, Sir?" said Mr. Brookes, sward r, " D—o your coffee, sue, and you too," answered Mr Fitzgerald, in a voice which made the host's blood curdle in his veins, " I want to know, sur, and that without one ino• ment's delay, sur, if I'm chose yet?"" Oti,Sir,replied Mr. 13rookes, who trembled from head to foot, but attempted to smile away the appearance of fear ; " I beg your pardon, Sir; but I was just coming to announce to you, Sit—with Admiral Stewart's compliments, Sir—that— uufortunately—there was one black ball in the boa, Sir: and—consequently, by the rules of the club, Sir—no candidate can be admitted without a new elec tion, Sir,—which cannot take place,—by the standing regulations of the club, Sir—until a month from this time, Sir." Fi for a Seen lOst, and honeural:le• Glint Jewess reorotosod from enjoying each other's good company soone r.— Walther ! come here, ye roskol, and bring me a bottle of chain pagne, t U I drink long life to the club, and wish them joy of their unanimous election of a reed Gentleman, by father and mother, and"—(This part of Fitzgerald's ad dress excited the risible muscles if every oue present, but he soon restored them to their former lugubrious pos;tion, by casting around him a ferocious look, and saying, in a voice of thunder)—"and who never missed his tame! Go for the champagne, tvaiiher,--Ind, crye ye hear, cur, tell your maker, Mugger *Brookes, that is, not to make any morr mistake abort black balls; for though it is below a Gentleman to call him out, I will find other meaner of giving him a bag•fuli of broken bones." During this address Fitzgerald's irascibility appeared to undergo considerable inokfication • and, at its con clusion,the terrified landlordwas not a l ittle surprised and pleased to find his guest shake him by the hand, which he squeezed heartily between his own two, saying," My dear Mr. Brookes, tor aim, and I give ye much joy; for I'll warrant you'll find me the best customer in p.or house :—but there must be a small matter of mistake in my election ; and as I should not like to be.so ungenteel as to take my sale among my dear friends upstairs until that mistake is duly rectified, you'll just step up and make my compliments to the Gentlemen, and say, it is only a mistake of on black ball, they will be so good as to wave all ceremony on my account, and proceed to re-elect their humble servant without any more delay at *all ;—so now, my dear Mr. Brookes, you may put down the coffee, and I'll be drinking it while my new ekctios is going on." Away west Mr. Brookes, glad enough to escape with whole bones, for this time at least. On announcing the purport of his errand to the assembly above stairs, many of the members were panic-struck, fur they clearly foresaw that some disagreeable circumstance was likely to be the finale of the tai co which they had been play ing. Mr. Brookes stood silent for some minutes, waiting for an answer, whilst :es-era of the mem- bers whispered and laughed in groups, at the ludi crous figure which they all cut. At length, the Earl of Match (afterwards the Duke of Queensberry) said aloud, " Try the effect of two balls :—D—n his Irish impudence, if two black balls don't take effect upon him, I don't know what will." This proposal met with unanimous approbation, and Mr. Brookes was ordered to communicate accordingly. On re-entering the wajting-room, Mr. Fitzgerald rose hastily from the chair, sod s:izing him by the hand, e igeily inquired, is Have they elected me sight now, Mr. Brookes?" " I hope no offence, Mr. Fitzgerald,' said the landlord, " but I'm sorry to inform you, that the result of the second baltotting is, that two black ball. w ere dropped in, Sir."—". by .I —s, then," cid timed The members now saw that there w.s nothing for ir, but to send the invader to Direful'', wh:ch tney ap - peared to do by tacit agreement; for, when Admiral Stewart departed, which he did almost immediately , Mr. Fitzgerald found himself completely cut by 'all " his dear friends." The Gentlemen now formed them selves into groups at the several whist tables; and tie one chose to reply to his observations, rioc to return even a nod to the toasts and healths which he drank, whilst discussing three bottles of the sparkling liquor which the terrified waiter placed before him in succes sion. At length, finding that no one would contnynni• 'cafe with him in either kind, either for drinking or for fighting; he arose, and making a low how, took his leave Ii follows:—" gentlemen, I bid you all good night: I am very glad to find ye so sociable:-I'll_ take care to come earlier neat night, and eel' have a hide more of it, plase GOD." The departure of the bully was a great relief to every one present, for the restraint caused by his vapouriog and insolent behaviour was most intolerable. The con. versation immedktely became general, and it was una nimously agreed That half a dozen stout constables should be in waiting the next evening to lay him by the heels and bear him off to the watch-house, if he at• tempted again to intrude. Of some such measure Fitzgerald seemed to be aware; for he nevet shewed himself at Brookes's again, throne he boasted every where that he had been unanimously chosen a member of the club. The lifethorial Borde.l4is and the Adicatertr, both accused betore the Triounal of Correctional PoHeti at •Bordeaux, have been acquitted. " Tn, Tribunal, alter a short deliberation, found that the Alrmorial liordelait had only wed a right, in publishing an opinion on the law respecting the Police of the Press." The Indicateur was immediately alter acquitted also. E►roauous Boast[.
