Reclining. on a couch of fallen leaves wrapped in a fleecy mantle, with withered limbs, hoarse voice, and snowy beard, appeared a venerable old man. His pulse brat feebly, his breath became shorter, and he exhibited every mark of approaching dissolution.— This was old Eighteen Hundred and Twenty-two; and as every class of Readers must remember him a young man, as rosy and blithesome as themselves, they will, perhapsrfeel interested in hearing some of his dy ing expressions, with a few particulars of his past life. " I am," said he, " the son of old father Time, and the last of a numerous progeny;, for he has had no less than One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty two of us ; but it has ever been . his fate to see one child expire before another was born.. It is the opi nion of some, that his own constitution is beginning to break up, and that, when he has given birth to a hundred or two more of us, ..his family will be com plete, and then he himself will be no more." .. Here the Old Year called for„his account-book r and turned over the pages. with. a sorrowful eye.— Ile had kept, it appears, .anaseuxate account of the. moments, minutes, ,hours,.anal,,nsonths,.which he has 'issued, and subjoined, in some places, memorandums of the ues to which they - Would*.hitifebeets applied, and of the losses he has sustained." Th ese particulars it would be tedious to detail; and perhaps the rico!• lection of the reader may furnish them as . Well, or better. But we must notice one circumstance: upon turning to a. certain page in his accounts, the old wan was much affected, and the tears streamed down his furrowed checks as he examined it. Thil was the register of the fifty -tsco Sundays which he had issued ; and which, of all the wealth he had to dispnie of, has been, it ap, efirs, the most scandalously wasted.;— " These," sal Ll he," were rvt) . most . precious giftl. /hid but fifty-two of them to be4ow. Alas! how lightly have they . been es!eernd !" ;Pre, upon referri ng back to certain old niernnrandnriss, he found a lOng list of vows and re:.otetions, which had a partieulavrefer= ence to these fifty-two Sundays. This, with a mingled emotion of grief and a1 1 ...;er . , he tore into a 'hundred pieces, and threw on the embers, by which he was endeavouring to wart') his shivering limbs. st I feel, however," said he, 1 6 more pity than in dignation towards ti.e-e offenders, since they were far greater enemies to theniselves than to men. But there are a few outrageous one., by whom I have been defrauded of so much of my substance, that it ii hard to think of them with patience, p . irtiktilarly that noto rious thif Procrastination,' of Whom eVerybOdy his heard,, and who is well knoWlitO bare .Wronged my venerable firther of much tifhia property: There are . also three noted rutdans, 3 k4,'Sltipt, and Pleasure; from whom I have Suttees!

Ile , was a black leg; and vulgar in his language and deportment ; more. over, his wife was a blue sleeking, and had penned a . Novel, in which- Lord Byron was introduced as are. pentant husband. For these reasons the doors of hir Lordship were hermetically sealed against their is. gress. Captain a. Scotch Officer, a friend of my Lord's, and a wight of" infinite mirth and es. cellent fancy," bent upon mischief, promised Sir --. aa introduction. Signior Thomasi was a partner is 'the scheme; he was dressed up in•a-facsimile of ki Lordship'r.clothes, and his sq'posed Lordship ceived the Bbrionet at' his hotel. Added to his natural stupidity,. Sir was purblind and easily deceived.: The company consisted of several bon vivault; the Baronet sat on the right of the Signior, fully can. vinced he was elbowing the immortal Bard. The Signior gave some io; Lord Byron's songs in :curia of burlesque that created infinite mirth Sir listened with gravity, and' marked time with his head. At the close of the evening a bill was presented of heavy'weight," the mock Lord having left Abe . chait and the tooth. Sir -- stared ; Captain F;44 remarked that they were in a hotel, and everybody was glad to pay 'for seeing my Lord Byron. The Baronet discharged the.bill, and went home highly-! pleased with his new acquaintance.

IMPORTANT to LICENSED VICTUALLERS. the Act passed during the last Session of Parlia ment, for the better regulation of Public-houses in the Metropolis, enacted, among other provisions, that a Licensed Victualler keeping his house open for the i reception of company " to a late hour at slionld be liable to certain penalties therein enume rated. This vague and indefinite wording of the Act left it in the . discretion of the Magistrates to say what was or was not " a late hour," and, as might be ex pected, a considerable difference of opinion upon that point has existed among the worthy Justices of the Peace, whose province it is to enforce the provisions of tHe Statute in question. One has deemed half-past ten, another eleven, to be a late hour, while other Gentlemen have considered half-past eleven, and some even have thought twelve, in patticular neigh bourhoods, such as the Theatres and Markets, was not too late an hour for Publicans to be allowed to keep open their houses. Some common informers have, within the last few weeks, summoned upwards of 100 publicans, in the district of Bow-street Office, for keeping open their houses " to a late hour," and have -reaped no small harvest from the fines that have been inflicted. The publicans unifottnly expresiect an earnest desire to shut up their houses at any bour which the Magis trates should order, but as there was a dirersity.of opinion upon the subject, they knew not how to act. This point was particularly urged to the Bench - on WeJnesday, when a considerable number were sum moned from Clare Market, and in consequence the Magistrates of Bow-street determined to meet yester day to come to a final determinalion as to the hours to which public-houses should be allowed to remain open at night, and on the Sabbath - Day. Sir RICHARD . MANIC, Mr. MtuakvLL, and Mr. lilacs met accordingly at the Office yesterday, and were attended by Mr. Corairan,.. Mr., awns, and two other Gentlemen, Vestry* Clerks of the' four Parishes within this district, namely, Sr. Martin's, fit. Paul, Covent-garden, St. Clement's, and St; Strand. After some deliberation it was deter mined that Licensed Victuallers, in those Parishes, aboUld be allowed to keep open their houses till 12 on Saturday night, and until half -past eleven on, every other night; and that on Sundays their houses must be Cleeed in the morning from eleven to one, and in the afternoon from three to four. Their houses , must be closed at the hours mentioned, or they Will be liable to the penalties, which" she Magistrates will be very rigorous in indeed's.
