AUGUST 7. in a hone laugh, and roared out, " beau nasty, by —." Per haps intimidated by C—ke's former blustering, this insensible puppy took little notice: but t knew he would not stop here, and indeed I thought the stanger fair game: now rose from his seat, and taking up the skirts or his coat, in imitation of the other, turning his back to the fire,—" Warm work, in the back settle /arras, sir," said he, then approaching still nearer, as if he had Anne secret to communicate, whispered, though loud 'eouttgli for every one to hear—" Pray, Sir, how is soap ?" '' Soap ?" Y es, Sir, soap; I understand it is coming down." '" i am glad of it, Sir." " Indeed, Sir, you have cause, if one may judge from your appearance." litre was a general laugh, which the stranger seemed not to regard, but noddling his head, and hitting his boots with a little rattan, rang the bell, with an nit of importance, and enquired " if he could bave s areal-kitlet or a matton chips' " What do you think," said C—ke, or a roasted, puppy? because," taking up the poker, " spit you, and roast you is a minute." This had a visi*e'effeet on the dirty beau—he retreated to wards the door. C--ke following—" Avannt, and quit my sight, thy face is dirty, and thy hands. ! unwashed ; avaunt l uvaunt ! 1 say."-:- Then' replacing the piker, and returning to his seat, he conti nued—`• Being gone. 1 am a man again." It happened that Perrins, the noted pugilist, made one of the company this evening; he was a remarkably strong man, and passessed great' modesty, and good nature. The last scene. took such effect on his imagination, that he laughed immos derately. C—lses attention was attracted, and turning towards him with his most hitter look—" Why, you great lubber headed thief, Johnson would have beat two of 3nu ! laugh at rue ! at C—ke come out, you scoundrel !" The coat was again pulled of, and putting himself in an atti tude, " this is the arm that shall sacrifice you." Perrins was of a mild disposition, and knowing C—ke's character, made every allowance, and answered him only by a smile, till, :Iva-as - cited by language, and action the most gross, he very calmy took him in his arms, as though he had been a child, set him down in the street, and bolted the door. The evening was wet, and our hero, without coat or hat, unprepared to cope with it • but entreaty for admission was vain, and his application at the window un attended to. At length growing desperate, he broke several pares, and inserting his bead through the fracture, bore down all opposition by the following witticism :—" Centime'', 1 have taken some pain's to gain admit-ion; pray let me in, for see through my error." The door was opened, dry clothes procured, and about [die o'clock in the morning we sent him borne in a coach. TO TIIE EDLTOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
