AN AWKWARD MIbTAIC.—A reverend popular preacher, well known to the literary circles of the nietiopolis, wag c+n received with warm hospitality at the table oldie late Mr. and Lady Elisabeth Whitbrcul. Ilis conversational talents had recommended hint likewise to the protection of Lady Au gusta Mut ay, better known, perhaps, to gene de cond4ion, by iii- title of ' 5 Duchess of Sussex," at the bottom of whose table he was usually requested to take his chair. This priest of nice discrimination lied engaged himself to dinner with his early pl. in/noes, Lady Elisabeth Whitbrcul, and in the forenoon tie the alyointed day was summoned for ininualiate untr.alaace in his cu.

" Didisiscent" (to use one of his own oratorical terms) of his duties in Dover-street, he sat down to his aerofoile dr table, and indite! (on tool! .traloi) the following notes, and by d i siogist of higui was sufficiently fortunate to transmit the billets (cross-purptweel) exactly to the parties fur whom they were Nol• destinal " Dear Doeliesp,A thousand thanks for your rom t delightful Invitation. 1 tuna.

RARE INTEGRITY —About six years CIO a tradesman residing iii Leeds fell into decay, and finding his embar rassments insurmountable, he left the town considerably in debt. His creditors soon began to consider their claims desperate, and most of them had long ago placed the ominous word tad opposite the entry in their ledgers. But on Monday the Ist inst. each of them received a circular, requesting that they would meet the debtor and his wife on the arrival of the Rippon coach at the \Vbite Horse inn, Leeds, and bring with them their accounts. This welcome invitation was, of course, readily accepted, and as each account was presented, it was 111:•ellarged, WIIIIOIII any deduction. The appegate amount of the debts thus honourably liquidated we have not heard ; but we know th,t one tradesman, a timber-merchant in that town, received l out. The lady, who took an active part in this pleasurable duty, has had lately a handsome for tune left her, at her own disposal ; and one of the first purposes to which she has applied her well-merited wealth has heen to dischar:x all her hushand's debts. ARTFUL Ibleo,latoN.—A fellow was lately charged at the Police-office, Edinburgh, with various acts of swind ling. The success of his schemes was 1101 less remarkable then the ingenuity with which they were planned. After duping a caster's wife of Iss. and ebbing a house at Custerphine uf a gold watch and other al tidies, lie gained the affections of a young woman, a widow, who kept a shop at Portobello. By his persuasion she agreed to give up her house, awl hillow him, with her daughter, a child allow live years of uge, to a lodging in the Grass-market, whet le the necessary measures were immediately taken for the pencil malice of the marriage ceremony. But the af fair must be done genteely, and it was customary on such occasions to get new gasnieuts; his lameness prevented him from calling on friends; but lie would write a note— au order to a ft lend in Potter-row, for a sm:111 sum 951. and his intended wife would have nothing to do but pre sent it. She went, bat not finding such a person as the one mentioned, she came back, and found that the bride groom had deesiniped, alter breaking open a trunk and carrying sway all her clothes, with some articles of jew ellery. Such was the talc this deluded female told, whose modesty and propriety of detueat !!!!! r rendered her an object of considerable interest. On the fellow himself being called iu to give an account of the property, no thing could be more striking than the contrast in their behaviour. 'the full ruined features of an Italian were distigeted by dirt, and distorted by the lecrof impudence. lie readily gave information of the way in which he hail disposed of the unfortunate woman's property. The next amour in which our hero engaged inuy be considered his thy d'ssovrc, as here lie triumpaed, out only over the catiliouseess of age, but the shrewdness and tenacity of the IlighlatiJ eharecter. Haying got himself conveyed, as a man in extreme bodily distress, to the house of an honest porter, in a It. w minutes lie succeeded in estab lishing himself Mete as a fatuity lodger. The moment that lie had thus domesticated tiniest lf, lie despatched the potter to Leith, to look after some smuggled spirits, which lie said were deposited there on his a , count; add ing, for the put pose of removing all apprultensioo, that he hail used the precaution of bribing the police-officers, who would either walk elf upon the approach of the por ter, or wink at 1111.1.1. he passed. In the absence of the porter, lie proceeded to practise upon the simplicity ul his wife, an old wutiem of at least sixty years of age, who lie•llTely understood a ICOI-11 diTellllCl. I Hel'ortiillg to the out W0111.111 . /1 story, attar sounding the if pit§ of her affection fur the absent Diiiiren, expressed his wonder how site mouthd think of wading her days in the Stmimy of such a homespun mortal. lie nest touched upon the wi l dly eitetionsiatievs or !lie weithy couple, and drew titian his liosie•s an atliniasnm that !lit y had a hank receipt Isom snligly deposited in the ctipboaid. !lav ing by this Buie Made an impresblon on the heart of the old woman, he easily persuaded her to allow him a sight of the dui ument, winch, alter scanning over, lie declared the right of drawing use. money had expired that very dey, and proposed that, lame as hr was, lie would go with her to the thank awl uplift the money. The old woman, in a state of great It epidation, assented. Away they hob bled tip stieets, mot the de fender, by personating the palter, found no ilidietilty in exchanging the receipts for pounds sterling.
