Anecdote of the King.—A poor man named Grant, living on the estates of the Hon. W. Malle, in the neighbourhood of Montrose, and 108 years old, pre sented a memorial to the King thro' Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, lately, in which he stated his extreme distress and old age to his Majesty. Amonst other arguments for royal bounty, he informed his Ma jesty, that if he was not the oldest of his Majesty's loyal subjects, he was at all events the oldest of his Majesty's enemies, for that he was present, in 1746. at the battle of Culloden Muir, in which he taken the side of Charles Stuart. In consequence of this application, his Majesty has ordered one pound a week to be paid to the old man during his life, and the same to be paid to his daughter, who now takes charge of him, and is upwards of 70 years of age, should she survive her father. Anecdote.—The French Journal of the Aube, of the let ult. contains the following pleasing anec dote:—" The Pastor of a Commune in this depart ment, was informed that !the singing-master of the parish had sedu':ed a girl of the village, wbc was with child by him. took upon himself to publish the banns of marriage between them float the pulpit on the next Sunday. This improvisatore effusion took the young couple by surprise ; the singing-master turned pale and the wench red, but the effect pro duced by the hint in face of the congregation was an immediate and legal union of the parties. HYnaornosta.---This dreadful malady having made its appearance amongst the Goosnargh har riers, Lancashire, it has been found necessary io shoot every dog belonging to the pack. Some symp toms of the disorder were observed in one of the bounds some time ago. and he was accordingly chained up, until it could be proved whether or not be was wally affected. He, however, broke loose on Saturday, and joined the rest of the pack, with evident signs of being in a rabid state. As there could be no security against the complaint bre.iking out in any of the animals, the only course was to destroy every dog, which was accordingly done on Sunday and Monday last. H. Parker, Fag. or Whittingham, has also judged it prudent to order the destruction of all his dogs, although soma Of them were very valuable.

Tiii3 was ;1 motion for an injuncunn to restrain the Directors, Treasure's, &c. of the Society flout itiakihg certain alterations iu its COTISDIUDOII, the principal one being the estilopshinent of a fond of 550,0001. to effect which new policies, and a new deed or charter had be- come necessary. \lr. Sharlwell, for the plaintiffs (who were four per. sons holding policies with the Society) stated that by its original constitution all the members entered into a mu tual covenant to imlemuily each other against loss by fire, and that they also mutually men:listed nut to do any act, or enga g e in any concerti by which that tiiciety I could he prejudi ced. Now he contended that the de fendants woe at present engaged in estaidishing another concern, and although a great many members of the old Society might think the &len:lints were doing what would be lienelieial to them, the plaintilis were of a different oillisisit), and preferred the Society to its original state, and he eotatetilled that without the concurrence of the plaintiffs, the new scheme should nut he suffered to forward. Mr. Glyn followed on the same side. The Lord CIIJ•ccllor intimated a doubt whether the plaimith could succeed in this application, upon which Mr. Hart, for the delitirlants, said, alter what had fallen f his Liailship, he knew not that it would be needful for hum to occupy the time of the Court, but The Lord Chancellor said.—l shill certainly, Mr. Hart, hear the defendants' counsel. The 'Actinide could have had nu pretence for causing into a Court of Equity it they had nut pin au allegation of fraud in the proceed ings, and as fraud has been alleged against the de. leudants, 1 shall not shut up the case without allowing the facts on their past to be aimed. Mr. Hrt then state I the course which bail been pur sued by tit: defendants (who were gentlemen of great repectability and fortune) sliewing that considerable pains had been taken to explain the new system. by means of the numerous agents of the Society and other wise; and front many allidarits which had been pot its, it appeared that the members of the Society very gene rally amain etl of the ;thew m i tttt s, and had readily elected their Illi.kirilitces under them. Mr. Wetherell followed on the IJllle side, and ob serteil that ine Society, in its improved s ate, was just as much a new Society as wine pound inn of our bottle into another was a new bunk of wine. This Society Nis emptying itself too of an old add infirm Cohstati tioit into a slew and imprmeci one. The Lord Chanceilur.—Butt what Mr. Shrdwell says is, that his clients are content with their bottle of wine, and think it vety good, and that you are spoiling it. Mr. Weiherell.—l know he says so, my Lord, hut we shall see by and bye whether your L ordship is of that oi t i tt init. Mr. Hickersteth (who was also for the defendants) mated a variety of facts from affidavits, for the purpose of plot ing that no fraud, or delusion whatever. had been attempted by the defendants. Tue Lord Ciunicellor entered very fully into the his tory of I natirence Calamities, and of their various disa bilities, and of the applications they had made, from lime to time, to the Goverameut and to Parliament, fur protection and assistance. He remarked un the defects of the slit constitution of this Society, and said that the plain lids could have no right to the summary interference they were now seeking to obtain. lie also observed that the plaintiffs intuit have various difficulties to encounter in bringing the affairs of the Society bef o re the Court. He expressed his doubt whether it was a case in which the Court would interfere, even if the cause was to be filially heard upon its merits, and concluded by remarking that although he did not pretend to be deeply versed in lit sorance business, of this he had tin doubt, that the addi tion of a capital of 650,0001. must be a prodigious imptovement of the concern.
