IL A. ANECDOTES OF LONDON. (From the PERCY HISTORIES, No. II.) THI ROTAL MCC tIANGT:. Although Sir Thomas Gresham has indeed all the honour of founding this great building, and the still more substantial merit of having sacrificed a private fortune on account of it; it is not to be concealed, that the actual work of his hands is in a great measure no more. The4setter part of the fruits of Ms industry acid beneficence perished in the flames; the site of the Exchange, all the College in 13road-street, being all that survived tho ge peral destruction. It is, therefore, to the spirit and liberality of his Trustees, of the City corporation, and of the Mercers' Com pany, that the Public are in reality indebted for the erection of the Exchange, as it at present exists. Indeed, so impoverished were the funds of the Gresham Trust by the conflagration, that they had become ultimately inadequate to the different charges with which the founder had burdened it ; and, but for the mag nanimous liberality of his trustees, in fulfilling the intentions of the venerated donor after the appointed means were gone, the good which be designed to be perpetual must have long since c :me to an end. In 1729, a hill of discovery on the subject was tiled in Chancery by one of the Lecturers, and from a state of accounts then exhibited it appeared, that the Mercers' Com pany alone had expended, out of their own funds on account of the Gresham Trust, no less than the enormous suns of £100,659. 185. 10d. In 1745, the sum in advance had increased to £141,883. 75. Id. ; it had reached a point of magnitude in fact, which put all chance of reimbursement out of the ques tion. The payments which the City Corporation had made on the same account do not appear to have been inquired into, but as they contributed equally to the rebuilding of the Exchange, it is to be presumed. that they had borne ass equal share of the outlay, so that the total advance on this trust could not, at the period in question, have been less than half a million ; such an instance of spontaneous beneficence as we believe to be without a parallel in the history of benevolent executorsbips. VIA RIIER-SU IiGEON% The BarbetMall, situated in Monkwell.street,was converted into an anatomical theatre, where lectures were delivered by the more eminent members of the Company, and illustrated by the dissection of the dead bodies of criminals given to the Com pany for that purpose, and by others "brought to them," we presume, in the usual course of a nefarious trade. On this last point, however, there is an order extant in the minute books of the Court of Assistants, the perusal of which must, we think, suggest some doubts as to the " usual course" having been al ways adhered to. We know not what interpretation exactly to give to this singular piece of evidence ; but that it indicates some practice more horridly revolting than anything we know of in our times, is but too apparent. It is dated 13th July, 1387, and is literally in these words : " It is agreed, that if any bodie, who shall, at any tyme here after, happen to be brought to our hall for the intent to be wrought limn by th' anattoinists of our Companie, shall merle or come t 4 lt againe, as of late bath been seen. The charges about the same bodie so revyvyng, shall be borne, levied, and susteyned by such parson or persons who shall happen to bring home the bodie. And furder, shall abyde such older or fyne, as this house shall award" ! !! TYPOGRAPHICAL JUBILEE. (From the MUSEUM; or, Record of Literature.) About the 10th of . this Month it is intended to ce lebrate a Typographicallee at Haarlem, in com memoration of it's being the fourth centenary anni versary of the supposed discovery of the Art of Print ing (in that city) by Laurens Coster. A Myneer de Vries is to pronounce an elaborate oration on the occasion. What the Dutch crater will say we cannot pre tend to predict : but we will fairly forewarn him, that if he have the temerity to consider Myneer Lau rens Coster as the father of the Art of Printing, he will waste his time and breath, to no one solid and satisfactory purpose. It is true that our countryman, Mr. Ottley, has, in his History of the Art of Engraving, . devoted the better part 01100 pages to the substantiat-. ing of the Dutchman's claims ; but still we think that Mr. Ottley's researches evince rather the ingenuity of • an advocate, than the unbiassed conclusion of a judge. The author of the Bibliogra:thical Decameron has, in his 4th day, reviewed the labours of Mr. Ottley, and it seems to us that his own decision is rather uncer tain, and that, out of pure compliment to his friend, lie has invested his brows with a wreath to which in fact he is not absolutely intitled. Conjecture may exhaust itself in wild and fanciful ' deductions, but the express and undoubted document of the depositions of Gutenberg and others, of the date of 1430 and earlier, as preerved in the archives of Strasbourg, appear to us to overturn all the claims of the Hollanders. And besides, admitting that the ABC and Pater-Buster of Coster, which all the world may examine in an old palish chest at Haarlem, be of an almost contemporaneous date (which is begging the question hugely), we contend that such barbarous specimens are not, in fact, the fruits of what is un derstood by the art of printing. If they be so under stood, then we contend that you must look for the real origin of the art in China; because impressions from a wooden surface are of a much cashier• date with the Chinese, and not what we understand to be the application of the art in question. Fusile metal types were the discovery of Gutenberg, or Schoiffher, or Post; and to one, or two, or all of these men, be longs consequently the glory of the discovery of the most important art in the world. We would give a little to be present at Myneer de Vries oration, which we hope will be published with a translation and suitable notes. And should we be all alive and merry about a half century hence, we trust there will. be a similar jubilee in London, to coniniemorate the introduction of the same wonderful art into England, by that I simple' yet sagacious per son, William Caiton. WOuld it not be worthy of the high renown and dignity of the Rosburghe club to institute such a fes tival ? Soberly speaking, we think it would : and let every printer from Truro to the Tweed (having first washed his face) attend on the occasion. A certain Parisian Preacher was holding forth, not much to the, sativfactian of his audience. " He did better last year,". observed Santeuil the poet,'whci‘was present. A byestander asserted that he must beintis. taken, for that the pt esent exhibitor had not preached at all the year before. " That is what I mean," an bwei ed the poet ! —Museum; or, Record of Literature.

Ilialesvood 11-411 is perhaps the humblest of all Bloomfield's efforts, and yet at is not without its me rits. The simplicity of this Poet's manners, and his retirement from the' great stir" which affords variety of character, disqualify him for formal dramatic wri ting, though he has on former occasions, very uncon sciously, we doubt not, produced poems highly dra matic. This village drama, which is in prose, was written many years ago. It is enlivened with a few songs and poems, which do no discredit to the author of " The Farmer's Boy." The following is one of the gems which sparkle in Hazlewood Hall. " Lovely Truth! thy steady eye . Can strike the villain's heart with shame, When Modesty, thy firm ally, Without a sword, ♦Vithout a word, Her angel brow uprears ! Her single glance, when thou art by, Is spear and shield,—the foe must fly, Or crouch to Truth and Modesty, To woman's scorn or tears!" `the liana:it. ABROAD. By the Author of " The Hermit inLon don," and " The Hermit in the Country." 2 vols. 12m0.1823. The happy talent of this Author in sketching cha racter in town and country, and the popularity which he attained, hai urged him to cross the Channel, and give us two volumes of the Hcrmit Abroad, which dis play the same smart humour, and are directed to the, same moral purpose as his former volumes. The Her mit Abroad has confined his wanderings principally to France and the Netherlands, and he gives us a very animated, and we believe faithful picture of the man ners and peculiarities of the inhabitants of these coun ta ies, particularly in the Capitals.' These volumes are a pleasing addition to the light literature of the day. The Du's of MANTUA ; a Tragedy. By ---. two. 1825. The reading Public has been a good deal on the qui vine to discover the author of this Tragedy, which is ushered in with a maskedportrait of Lord Byron. We do not profess to solve the mystery, but think, from the talent that the Author has displayed, he will not long remain incognito. The story is one of un lawful love, but it is told with great delicacy ; the characters are well drawn, and the language is spirited and elegant. Tea queen or POOTVGAL.—The following letter is said to have been addressed by the Queen to her son Don Miguel : l 6 My Sox—lt is necessary to act—unsheath your sword, and prove that there is royalty in your veins. The times are come when one must know how to come down sometimes from the throne in order to labour as a Iring (pour fair metier dens) in the public place, and in the barracks. Be worthy of yourself, so you shall be worthy of the crown which you will one day wear. Attack then this infamous Constitution which oppresses it. I have prepared everything—you are expected—lose not a minute —march—you will triumph. I protect you with my blessing. " CNA/MOTTO JOACHIMIC" FORTUNE TELLING ! Saturday Mrs. Hannah Lee, seemingly a true-born Gipsey, in the sun-burnt colour of her complexion, ' , the cunning glance, and the sparkling of her dark eyes, and also irk her general attire, was brought before' SAMUEL TWYFORD, Esq. at Worship-street Office, charged with unfolding to anxious young damsels l the future events of courtship and matrimony ! • Mary Ann Dutton, a sprightly young girl of thir-1 teen, stepped into the witness's box, as her accuser. The officer administered the oath, but before the maiden kissed the book, " Mind," said the . Sybil; " what you do." 4, Don't be alarmed," observed the Magistrate to the girl, "take the oath, and speak the truth." The young girl then kissed the book.— " Now," said the Gipsey, " your soul is gone to Hell." Mary Ann Dutton proceeded to relate that she had several times gone to see the Gipsey,, who pro mised to tell her her fortune, but she could not tell it unless she bad some lace. The witness returned home, and took the first opportinity of carrying some of her mother's lace to the Gipsey, and then she told her a little! And what did she tell you? said the Magistrate. Witness —She first said, "Will you have a Thomas, a Richard, or a Peter ?" Magistrate—Well, and what did you say? Witness—l said I would have a Richard! Magistrate—Proceed; and tell me all that passed. Witness—On my saying a Richard, she then re quired more lace, and at different times I took it to her, but, before she would open the Book of Fate, she said she must have an additional quantity ; and that morning I took some to her, but I had no sooner de livered it, than the apartment was entered by my mother, who thus detected me.—The mother con firmed the latter part abet. daughter's story. The prisoner - denied the charge, saying u I am a poor widow, and am in a 'dine (decline), and if I am long in prison it will be the death of me." Magistrate—l shall send you to the Rouse of Cor rection for three months. She was then hurried from the bar, saying be revenged on her when I come out of prison.'•' - . Mr. TWYFORD informed Mrs. Dutton, if hereafter she apprehended any danger, she could always apply to this Office and have protection. The munificent bequest of £lO,OOO, left by the late JOHN Fonass Esq. of New, to the Lunatic Asylum of Aberdeen, has now been received by the LORD PROvosr as Presidentof the Institution, to be applied according to the will of the benevolent testator. LAWLaSS COURT.—This Singular Court is held on King's-hill, at Rochford, in Essex, every Wednesday. morning, nest after Michaelmas. day, 4teock-pow. ing, at which Court they whisper, and have no candle, nor any pen and ink, but a coal to record their mi-1 nutes. He that owes suit of service there forfritsl double his rent every hoer he is missing. This Court i is called Lawless, because held at an unlawful hour; or perhaps. Oa dicta sine loge—because opened without any form. It is mentioned.by Camden, who says this servile attendance was imposed on the te nants (by the Lord of the Manor) for conspiring at the like unseasonable time to raise a cornmotios btit detecting it, he ordained that the conspiratnes, si punishment, should fur ever assemble. on the. same spot where they met, and do homage for. their lands. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Saturday a General Meeting ohlietinprietors of. - this Theatre was held in the salooii belonging to the building, for the purpose of rece i ving the Report of the Sub committee on the state of the finances•of the concern, and of electing an Auditor of dcconnts, six new members of the, General Cornmiitee Sub-committee for the ensuing year. The Report, which WAS read by the Secretary, Mr. Dunn, stated that the lessee of the Theatre had ne3ularly paid Ms rent, and that the sum which he had expended in' im provements exceeded by some thousand s o f . pounds that which he had stipulated to expend according to the terms of the lease. The Report concluded in the following manner:—At the last general assembly, in June, 1822, the debt of the 'cheat' c wax 33,9651. The payment Lt . the final instalment on the loan and other creditors which have taken place since that period, leaves the present incumbrance On the concern at 29.6141. and there is an available balance in hand of 2,6401. towards the reduction of the bond-holders' claim, amounting to 24,615/. and ay adding 3,918/. due to claimants undiscovered upon the late Theatre, and 1,280/. to unclaimed dividends, it makes a total of 29,6141. as before stated. The Committee think it right to add, that the new Renters' Annuity.of one (shilling and threepence per night will commence with the ensuing season, forming an annual amount of 3,750/. and the residue of the surplus rent, calcu lated at £4,250, will be appropriated to the payment of the bondholders daring the next six years. Mr. CALCRAFT, the Chairman, expressed an opi nion that the Report which had been read was cal culated to afford the utmost satisfaction to the Pro prietors. After complimenting Mr. Pprazley, the architect, for the taste and dispatch with which he had effected the alterations in the interior of the Theatre, Ile proposed that the Report be cod:tined.— Agreed to unanimously. The following Gentlemen were re-elected Mem bers of the General Committee:—DAVlD II MAUD°, Esq. Sir T. TURTON, E. ELLics, Esq. Sir G. BROWN, PASCOE GRENVELL, Esq. and WM. LINLEY, Esq. , On the motion of Mr. GEORGE Roams, Benjamin Oakley, Esq. was re-elected Auditor of accounts, and the Sub-Committee was also re-elected to serve for the ensuing year; after which the Meeting broke up. THE Kinds THEATRE.—The new Opera was re peated on Saturday amidst the unanimous applause of the audience. Several chorusses in the second act were encored, and all the performers were rewarded with marks of approbation commensurate with their merits. Previous to the commencement of the per formances, printed bills were placed in the boxes, and delivered to the company on their entrance, de claring that the omission of the I%llet, complained of on Tuesday evening, was occasioned by a misunder standing; expressing regret for such an occurrence; and giving a positive assurance that measures had been taken to prevent anything of the kind ever happening again. This satisfied the audience, and the Opera proceeded without interruption. HAYMARKET THEATR IL—Saturday night, after the Comic Sketch of Seeing is Believing, The Rivals was performed with much spirit. Mr. TERRY as Sir An tony Absolute, Mr. VINING as Captain Absolute, Mr. COOPER as Faulkland, and Mr. LISTON as Acres, went through their parts with much excellence. MISS CHESTER and Mrs.CHATTERLEY played Lydia Languish and Julia delightfully. The Farce of Fright-' erred to Death followed, in which Mr. lis.nr.ex took his part of Phantom, and kept the audience in a roar of laughter. The house was much crowded. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The Marriage of Figaro was performed at this House on Saturday night, with a new and very promising Susanna in the person of Miss LOUISA DANCE, sister to the Lady of that name, who made her appearance at Covent-Garden Theatre a season or two ago, as a tragic actress. Miss r l Dime's debut was highly successful; many of her songs being encored, and all of them loudly ap- I plauded. Miss KELLY made an excellent Cherubino. The other parts were well supported by Mrs. AUSTIN, Miss POVEY, Messrs, PEA RMAN, BARTLEY, WRENCH, BLAND, &c. and the whole went off to the infinite satisfaction of a crowded audience. OLYMPIC THEATRR.—; M. ALEXANDRE, the cele brated Ventriloquist, closed his season on Saturday last, on which occasion he delivered an Address expressive of his deep sense of obligation for the great and gra tifying patronage he has experienced from the Public. DREADIUL ACCID/LNT.—Antle.it was held on Saturday afternoon at the Chaise and Horses, Nestor% near Hounslow, on the body of a child named Joseph Hatch. It appeared in evidence, that on Tuesday last the .Chronometer Bath coach was seen to stop op posite Lady Banks's lodge gate, where the coachman got off; but in endeavouring to open the coach-door he dropped part of the re;ns, when the horses darted forward ; he endeavoured to regain theM, bin they went on dragging the coachman with them, and pro. ceeding on with Increasing rapidity came in contact with a chaise-cart on the road, and overturnet. it; there were two women inside, and two children; one Ole deceased) Was killed, and the wheel passed aver chi head of Mrs. Hatch (the mother), and the other woman, the nurse, was very much hurt. The coach man endeavoured to stop the horses, but in the at tempt was dragged a considerable distance ;* he was in consequence so much hurt that they placed him dp the top of tire coach, and carried him to Slough, but it was found itnoossibleJor him to proceed fur ther. The Jury having taken a view of the body of the child, the Coroner said if the evidence adduced was so be believed, no blame could be imputed to the coachman, but the proprietors were liable : he considered they ought to have sent some person with the coach to open the door, and deliver parcels, and not leave it to the coaclunan, who had enough to do to mind the horses.—Verdict, accidental Death.—Neither Mrs. Hatch or the nurse are expected to survive. hlstracnoxv Oceuitarracis.—ln St. James's -street, Leeds, a few days since, a girl of the name of Ilowcroft, about six years of age, went out With her sister, five month' old, and as she svz.s pitying over the mouth of a well, the covering supporting the ; outer lag gave way, and both unfortunately fell in. The parents were kept in anxious suspense till the evening, when some cir cumstances caused suspicion to fall on the fatal spot ; on which the father descended, Ind found his infant On the chamber of tbe welL Search was made for the elder sister elsewhere sup pea. lit had absconded after what had happenelto her ch arge;: Widowing the absence of the father, another person went down and-discovered her suffocated at the bottom, with a large flag, ace: Upon her - fifteen yards to Vet than' where the infant was "foetid.

Therefore, the question is, ought this Court & interfere at all ? Mr. WETHERELL would confine himself to ;hi question, if his I" . dship pleased, because certainly i seemed to overrule all other questions. Iris LORDSHIP.—Suppose, for instance, that money; by son:e slip or other, had got into this Court, to tltf account of the Peruvian Government, would it.* have belonged to the King of this country ? Mr. W Ertl ERELL.—The money is not in this Court, my Lord. his LORDSH cr.—No, it happens not to be here; bar if it had happened to have been in Court, what would have been the consequence ? Mr. WETHERELL..—With great deference I reply, th az, in my opinion, this country has no right to ag what ir; to be done w ith this mone y. Ibis LORDSilip.—The neater way of putting * question is, What right has any person to call upon the King's• tnurts of this country to interfere to for. ward or to prevent such negotiations ?" Mr. WETHERELL thought that was what he warned, LORDSHIP.—There has been a great deal said about .the legality of the subscription rai•ing fir Spain, but with that I have nothing to do. Yet sup. posing those subscriptions to be legal (without cola mitting myself either way by saying they are or re not), I should be glad to know whether, on a sum e( money being paid into Child's shop, or any other sill, for the purpose of being sent into that country, with which we are at this moment at perfect peace, thi country's King's Court could be called upon to inter. fete at all ? As far as that goes, it is in your favour, Mr. Wetherell—for unless the Learned Gentlemenoa the other side can, on this state of the record, say that this Court ought tee , interfere, then there ought to be no injunction. And that will depend on another thing, namely, whether it can be made out, that if there had been only one subscriber to this loan, he could have maintained an action for the recovery of the money in the Court of King's Bench ? Anl that I doubt very much. In short, ought this Court to interfere with persons who thought proper to treatwiib a Government which this country knew nothing of? An Inquest was held at Gosberton, on Saturday last, by C. Nlastin, Gentleman, Coroner, on the body of Miss Willerton of that place, whot on the pia ceding day, ate a hearty breakfast in perfect health, and at noon was a corpse. The young Lady thussud, denly snatched away was on the eve of being married to a respectable Gentleman of the neighbourhood.— Verdict, " Died by the Visitatio4 qf Gob." IHEORTANT TO STAGE-COACH PROPRII"TOIIe.SeIetaI COUlrit• tions have lately taken place, at Worship-street Office, against& owners of stage-coaches, under the 25 Geo. 111. c. Si, sec. se, which requires the name of the place to and from which the catch is going, to be marked or painted on the pannel of the door —On Friday Mr. Sykes, the Solicitor to the Commissioners ef Stamps, appeared before Samurai. TWYFORDZ Esq. and pointei out the illegality of any proceeding by informers to recover the penalty under that section ; all matters necessary to put tk powers of the Act in force were under the management of the Commissioners, and it was unlawful to prosecute the same ex cept in the name of his Majesty's Attorney-General, or of the Solicitor, or some other Officer of his Majesty's Stamp Duties. Mr. Twyroan expressed his concurrence in the remake Mr. Sykes. With respect to the convictions before him, they were of course void, and ought not to be returned to the Seo lions, and informers ought to acquaint all parties againstwhom they had proceeded. Mr. Sykes further intimated, that tbe Como missioners wished no proceedings against stage-coach omens under the 25th Geo. 111. the necessity of which was saprowasi by the late Act providing numbers, and in case any cominisa .had been paid, it was probable that the King's part of the pear would be returned by a proper application to the Treasury. LIABILITY To POOR•RATIII.—Friday, a question of conslab‘ able importance to persons holding offices or detached apart ments, as to poor -rates, came on before the Loan MAYOB, at* Mansion-House. A person keeping a shop in an alley in !limbo lane, was summoned by the Overseers of St. Michael's, Cortildi to shew cause why he refused to pay poor-rates. The defendant, who is a shoemaker, took a room with a bet opening into an alley, and occupied it as a shop, agreeing rota, a fixed rent, the landlord engaging to be responsible for toot poor-rates, or.any other charge whatever. The defendant did not sleep in this room, and had no servant living in it. ll* Overseers of the poor, however, considered it as a distinct toit• loran', and rated it accordingly, alleging that the door which owl municated with the rest of the house being kept closed, made it a separate tenement; and that the agreement with the laadled was a mere evasion, on the part of the defendant, to avoid in liability to serve pariah offices. The LORD Mama considered the question as Of great in' portance in the City. If the room were declared liable, thin wits not an office, nor even an apartment in a coffee-house take by the week for business, or otherwise, that might not be drehrti a separate tenement rateable for poor -rates, nor an owns/Aril might nor be called upon to serve parochial offices. His to d- ship, under these circumstances, refused to grant a warrant si distress to the Parish Officers.2The Officers expressed their di' termination to get the question settled by applying to the Coin of King's Bench for a 31andamus to compel dais Lordship'. issue his warrant. - MARRIED. • On the sth initatit,' at Ef: James's Church, Bristol, Muni" hogs, Solicitor, Bath, to Miss Harriet Wiotle, of the former 001 Monday morning, at St. Peter's Church, Dublin, %Mir O'Grady, Esq.
