Curtis, had originally been the political dc re of J. Horne Tooke. Such, however, it appears, was the case, and in this manner Tooke related the occasion t—" Sir William's hither had been a zealous friend of popu lar politics in the city and county, and at the period of the great contest tar Middlesex, when Wilkes was opposed by Lutteral, old Mr. Curtis regretted that his business and time of life prevented him being so active in behalf of his favourite candidate as he wished to be. 'My son, however,' says he, 'is just now of age; he is young and strong ; take him, Mr. Horne, under your own direction, and make him useful in your canvas. " The young man," continued Home Tooke, ".retained his acquaint ance with me for some years afterwards but subse quently, as would readily be supposed, we seldom met. It. happened, however, tiller a very long in terval, while 1 Was it member of the House of Coin. minis, that we did meet at the door of the House, going out together into the lobby, and, what was more extraordinary, going out on a division upon the same side. Being side Ly side" said Tooke, " Aimed him my hand as an old political pupil, and told hint I was heartily glad to find that he had re turned to his master and to his orignal principles at lass. ' Return !' replied Sir William archly, ' 1 never lett my principles; it is you Mr. Tooke, who have changed.' How ans Ito understand you Sir William?" Why, Mr. Tooke, when 1 engaged in politics with you ow had the nufjurity pith usj by the majority I have always stuck, and I will keep among the majority to the last." At the general meeting of the Commissioners under the Paving Act, held last week, u Memorial was presented by Mr. Alderman Booth, signed by upwards of 80 inhabitants of tke first respectability m Nom ich, requesting the Commissioners to take into their serious consideration the necessity of ap plying to Parliament fir more extensive powers to enable them eilectually to pave, light, watch, and cleanse this city. In consequence of which, and on the motion of Alderman Booth, seconded by Mr. Edward Taylor, and supported by Mr. Piumptre and other gentlemen, a Committee was appointed for taking into consideration the measures necessary to carry the above petition into effect, and to report thereon at the next monthly meeting. At a meeting ot the Norwich Reform Society held on Tuestf.y (Mr. G Kilian in the chair), it was resolves" that a subscription shoild be raised, in order to assist in hide 1111 l ifying Sir itubert NVilson for the loss lie has sustainea by has late dismissal flow the 41 LH!" . Extract of a letter dated Oarabruck, Oct. 5.:—.. " I have at length arrived' in the kingdom of Ha nover, but ant still one hundred miles from the capital. In my progress to this town than the Prus sian frontier, I svitnessed the strongest manifestations of loyalty and attachment to his Majesty A tri. limphal arch has been erected on the spot where the boundary line is drawn, and the decorations, though composed of the most simple materials, do credit to the taste and ingenuity of the parties who devised them. The arch is sustained by four posts . , festooned with branches of palm, intermingled with the greenest foliage of the forest ; and the whole is mounted with the imperial crown, having the letters " G It." inscribed übilerneatb, on u shield of azure blue, Similar arches arc constructed at every village I have tame through, and the people appear anxious to rival each other in testifying their affection to a Srivereign, whose name and fiimily are connected with their fondest associations. At Glandorf, the first village I came to after passing the frontier, I intim' the landlord of the inn, who is also the post. master, brushing a suit of antiquated uniform, in which he intended to appear before his Majesty. He said he would present his Itoy.tl Master with wine of a hundred and twenty years old, poured out in a gold cup, and expressed his earnest hope that his Majesty would condescend to accept the libation. His daughter, who attended in the room with sonic refreshments, on aiming an English gentleman tender a sovereign in payment, immediately snatched it from his hand, when she understood it was stamped with the likeness of the King. Fixing her eyes upon it with ',look of ecstatic delight,she contemplated it Circa few moments, and then after passing it three or tiair times to her lips, declared she would not part with it as long as she lived. Surprised at the emotion she betrayed, the gentleman asked if she hail never Well the coin before ? and she replied, that this was the first time she saw the likeness of the good Kin; of Hanover." Befinte 1 left Munster, this morning, 1 discovered that the postboys had a desperate con tention for the honour of driving his Majesty's car riage. One of them, who was a fellow of some humour, said that the Koenig inn P,usaen (the Kieg of Prussia) when he passed through, did not provoke such angry feelings among them, as they would ail have been very well content to let any one who pleased drive his Majesty to the d—l. You will not be surprised to hear that the King of Prussia is no &wreathe with the postboys, when I tell you that by an order lately issued at Berlin, any one of them who shall be ilium' asleep on his horse, is to be placed on a seat, fiffnied by three pieces of wood, brought to so sharp a point as almost to pierce through the flesh, the unfortunate offender being all the time compressed within a wooden frame, and unable to relieve himself in .lity other manner than by an effort attended with a varied sort of pain.— punishment continues for six weeks, during which period the wretched sufferer gets nothing but bread and water, except on the third day, when he is allowed a little broth t.l sustain life. As soma as the time elapses, he is obliged to pay a fine of 12 dollars, and is then restored to his former situation, only to undergo more aggravated inflictions, should he again unhappily doze while on duty. From this instance you may fin-in a tolerable estimate of the policy that exists in the King of Prussia's dominions. 4:yptran obelisk.— l iii piece of altilqUily was lying in trout of the temple in the island tit Chiloe, wiiere it stood originally at we time of Piolonly, or pin anterior to tom pet od e start %%as tilt tiodueu by 6,trutoi, alter taIIOIIS oilier 'weeders ho it ancient and modern.
