The Sexagcnatrian seems to have found peculiar solace in recapitulating the anecdotes of all hip acquaintance during his past lift. His college locubrat.mis furnished him also with manv intimat,,s of whom he has, be a pleasant mcnrory, represented things mos: favourably ; he very lightly ouches anti dwells and en larges upon merit, urbanity, and skill. There arc a few allusions to his intimacy with some who have been raised to higher station, but did not always remember his quondam friendship, and in these notes there ap pears a taint of dissatisfaction ; but, in general, the work is an effort of a mind, happily neither clouded by ndverity, nor elated by prosperity ; the evert tenor of his wary has led hint to rejoice with those that rejoice, and to weep with those that weep—he loved society, anti has profited by all its communications ; and though he alludes sometimes to the errors of those he -dtli watc, he avoids, in general, to " set down aught in. mance." Perhaps curiosity is not more excited, than to discover the characteristic features of men of letters, because they are , generally turned from view, either by their native nuxiesty and diffidence, or by the retire ment of their studies ; on this account, anecdotes of their manners and sayings secure an universal reading, riot every reader dwells fondly upon almost every sylla ble of a man of literary eminence, as if he had himself 411 .cort:ed a part of the mine with which the indivi (Hal wan stored, and thus a deliberate, though tie fluently a prejudiced fudgment, is thrilled of men Nolo i. rve a better fate.

A butcher, ar Jitines.town, r b K t,ted - tfrineiis ervueat for his table, being ut knell wearied out with continual repetition of complaints, though he for niched the best meat he could procirre, directed the following laconic epistle to the Governor;—' Sir Hudson !

Sir Thos. has therefore had more opportunities of becoming acquainted with him iii the various Millions of his mind, than must Eng lishmen with whom he has cauversed. " A :amid of great meanness is this, that he tt not give credit to the English for any great wai !le says, that by all the rides of win, fie ought to have g hued the hattle of Waterloo, and that the Duke of Wellington ..1,0 1 !, if h e ha i l been a good general, to have retreated, and nut made his stand where he did. 1"..4, at other' tunes, feelins peculiarly indignant at the Prussians, he, of course, will not allow them to have had any eha rc in the result of that adieu, but de scribes his defeat to the lir iiiii ess of the English infantry alone, by which all his plans were disconcerted. " General Boonaparte once observed to a gentleman, at whose house he seemed to bear his lot with considerable com posure. that so imtuy. extraordinary things bad happened to him in his life, which had happened to no other Mall, that he should not he surprised if some time hence the Itritiab Govern ment were to recall him." , THE I,Alez riUTIVEY'S LIBitARIP.—The Committer of the House of Commons, who were di t ected to investigate the propriety of porehasing the library of the late Dr. Burney, have made 4 report, in which they strongly recommend the acquisition of so impostant an addition to the public stock of literature ; they state r that the vault cf the collectien as esti mated by tilt most coaipetent judges, is no less than I 1,5b01., hut that the proprietor is content to take 13,5001.: they, therefore, deem the purchase to be reasonable, at the saute time suggesting, that the animal grunt to the Mose ttttt should for the time be suspended or reduced, in consideration of this valuable accession to its treasures. We have nut room to enumerate ant these curiosities in detail 1. but we cannot omit to mention two or three of the must interesting. These are, let, the manuscript copy of hunter's- hlet I, formerly belong ing to Mr. Townley, supposed to he as old as the Hth cen tury; 2d, two beautiful copies of the Greek Gospels, of the 19th and 12th centuries ; 3d, a complete zollteftion of the dramatic literature of Greece, including every fragment and every comaseut ; 4th, a dories of English newspapers, amount ing to 700 volumes,. from the yeior 1693 to the present time ; .itb, a collection consisting of between 30a and 400 volumes quarto, containing materials for a history of the stage from 1660 to the present time, and particulars relating ro actors and dramatists; and, lastly, a collection of portrasts of actors, authors, commentators,. and other learned persons, from the latter part of Elizabeth's reign to the present day, amounting in all to 7,000, 5,00 of which relate to the stage. These arti cles, as well as many others described in the report, ire not to he got front any other quarter, at least in- such complete condi tion, and sonic oat at all. They are all well worthy of being &pied ted.in the National MilSeilum, partly asillustrums speei• melts of the Unite, talents, :rail industry of oue of the ',coy first scholars- which latter times et least have produced; but shietly as documents of the highest interest and importance to the advancement of ancient and modern.
