" ' I tell you,' said the porter, ' Mr. C— don't come here now.' " `I know he does,' said a squalid and emaciated being, shablq-genteelly dressed. " ' I say he does not,' said the porter, ' and if you do not go away, I will give you in charge of the watch.' " ' Do, if you dare,' said the unfortunate gen leman. _ .... "'Oh ! you shall soon see that,' said the two porters, at the same time thrusting the ruined man through the passage. " 6 Now, what is it you want ?' said one of the waiters in private clothes, coming from one of the coffee-rooms, upon hearing the scuttle. "'I am Major —,' said the gentleman, and'- 6 " Ah ! ah ! ah ! yes, that is Major —,' inter rupted the porters. "' Don't insult the Major,' said the waiter,— ' shut the door, and leave him to me. Now, Major, tell me what it is you want ?' " ' I am ruined by play,' said the poor Major.— ' I lost to Mr. C— 's bank full .5001. lam in great distress. I wrote to Mr. C— to lend me 21. and I left the letter myself. I stated I should call to night at 10 o'clock for an answer. I have been here half a dozen times, and I meet with nothing but indignity and insult. I will not put up with it.' '• I will speak to Mr. C— to-morrow upon the subject, he cannot be disturbed now,' said the waiter. Go away quietly—that's a good man: " I must, and will have an answer to-night,' said the Major, for I have no bed to go to.' " ' Well,' said the waiter, if you will go away and make no more noise, I will give you ss. out of my own pocket.' " The Major's distress was so pressing, that he accepted the money and went away, saying he would call again to-morrow. 4" You're a precious fool,' said one of the porters, ' to go for to give money out of your own pocket.' " ' Oh ! C-- will return it to me,' said the waiter, and give me something besides, for getting rid of the Major upon such easy terms.' " Vhat vas all that noise about ?' inquired Mr. C-- (who had been sent for in the midst of it), of the waiter. _ . «' It was Major --, Sir, wanting 2/., which he wrote for yesterday,' replied the waiter. " Veil, give him a sovereign vhca he comes again,' said Mr. C-; upon which Mr. C returned up stairs. " While the noise continued, all the doors were kept closed to prevent any thing being overheard by the members. As it was, it did not wholly escape notice. "' What did that fel-lowe want ?' said the Hon George Foppery, who arrived just at the moment. " Oh, it vas only a poor man, Sir,' replied Mr. C—, who vas very drunk, and had lost his way. I have just given the poor fellow a sovereign to get rid of him.' "—Life in the West.

NOTE.—Several articles were transferred from the Ex cise to the Customs in 1825, which occasions the great diminution in the Excise, and the increase in the Customs, We understand that a further exportation of about 180,000 ounces of silver coin took place on .Satur day last, by a vessel which left the river for Calais on tbat day. There was also 2,000 ounces of gold bullion sent to Rotterdam at the same time. Nearly the whole of the abovequantity has been shipped through the medium of an agent of Mr. Rorkscim.n. At one of the largest and most respectable Catholic Meetings we have known in this county for seve• ral years past, held at Killarney, the Pith ult , the Earl of KENMORE in the Chair, a Resolution was unanimously agreed to, signifying the determination of the Meeting, to support the Knight of KERRY, whenever a contest for the representation of the county shall take place, in such a manner as to secure his return without expense. Between eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday evening the neighbourhood of Hatton-wall was thrown into the utmost confusion and terror by a loud and terrific explosion, which forced the glass from the windows, and created the most serious fears in the minds of the inhabi tants. In a few seconds it was ascertained that the report proceeded from the interior of the Prince of Orange wine vaults, which in an instant was enveloped in utter dark ness, and filled with a dense smoke, As soon as lights could be procured, the interior of the bar presented a scene of indescribable confusion, Mrs. DEIGHTON, the landlady, being in a state of insensibility from the force of the shock, the windows and blinds shivered in splinters, the flooring raised several inches, and covered with fragments of broken decanters, bottles, and glasses. At this moment a young man rushed up stairs from 'the cellar, in a state of partial suffocation, and begged some person would hasten to the assistance of the landlord, of whose fate he was quite ignorant. Two or three individuals cautiouslz . de scended, and after some search, found Mr. DEIGHTON ex tended on the ground, which had been forced up around him, apparently lifeless. He was instantly taken up stairs, and medical assistance procured, and in a few se conds symptoms of returning animation became visible,, he having fortunately received only a contusion in the fore head and a lacerated nose. His account of this eitraor dinary transaction is, that having some business in the ale-cellar, he went down, accompanied by a friend (the person who gave the alarm), and was examining an ale cask, when suddenly he felt the ground shake be neath Isis feet, and in an instant lie was thrown across the cellar, and with the violence of the shock became de prived of all sense. His companion, Mr. BRAND was twice knocked down in endeavouring to escape by the stairs, and has completely lost his hearing on one aisle. A person who was at the bar at the moment, received so severe a shock, that he still lies dangerously ill; three clocks in the house were also instantly stopped by the concussion; and x fire. grate at some distance was forced from its setting, On examining the cellar, the ground was ascertained to have been forced up several feet, full butts were forced from their stations, a portion of the wall thrown down, and a most foetid vapour pervading the whole cellar; but no immediate cause could be assigned for the accident, which was fortunately attended with no fatal consequences. The premises were inspected by the Superintendent of the City Gas Works in Dorset-street, Salisbury-square, and in his opinion the accident could not have been caused by the gas, of which there was no appearance of escape, and which acted as usual on being re-lighted. On the other hand, the cellar was in constant use, therefore no reason can exist for supposing it to have arisen from the evaporation of pent-up vapours. A lighted candle had also been in the cellar nearly the whole of the afternoon. A further examination of the main, branches, Scc., connected with the gas supply will take plaCe immediately, such a cis corn stance being very likely to create an unfavourable and ungrounded prejudice in the minds of the public. The shock was felt at a considerable distance. BRITISH FINANCE.

The Linlithgow and Stirlingshire hounds are now hunting within reach of Edinburgh, after having been in the west of Stirling and Fife .and Clack mannan shires, where they had rery good sport. On their first day in this neighbourhood they met at Dantarvie, where they found immediately a brace of foxes, and ran one to ground in a drain. near Hopetoun, after a sharp burst. They found again in Hopetoun-wood, and again ran hini to a drain. After trying some other coverts, Dantarvie was again drawn, and a fox went away immediately, and was run to ground in some rabbit-holes at Dundas hill. This was a trying day for the hounds, but they behaved admirably, and on the whole the horses had some sharp work. On the second day, the hounds, after trying Barnton-park, found imme diately in Corstorphine-hill, and after a great deal of cold hunting, it is supposed the fox was drowned in the river near Cramond-bridge, which he was seen to enter, but never afterwards, nor could the hounds again hit off the scent on either bank. On Craigiehill being drawn afterwards several foxes were on foot, but unwilling to break; one was, however, seen making for Lord Roseberry's park, but before the hounds could be laid on, the ' scent had failed, and nothing could be made of , it. On the third day the hounds killed a brace of foxes at Bowden, ringing work, and not much sport. On the fourth day they met at Ravel rig, and drew towards Norton, blank. On the fifth day they met at Armadale toll-bar, and killed a fox without much running, at Craigshill; they then tried towards the Inch, where they found immediately and killed, after running the fox for at least half an hour, a racing ring through all the clumps. On the sixth day they met at Wallhouse,. and found five or six foxes, and after running a long time in covert killed which one, during time two had broke over a fine country, but were gone too far before it was known. The hounds fOund again, but were obliged to be taken away as the scent from the storminess of -the • day was very bad, and the covert was entirely foiled with previous running. On the seventh day, Thursday, the hounds met at Linlith gow Bridge, where they immediately found and killed in covert ; while eating their fox two more, were viewed in the banks, and the hounds, hunting beautifully among the rocks, ran them across the river, when they both broke together, and were run to ground in some unknown earths about a mile distand. Kineil wood was then drawn, from whence they ran a fox to Linlithgow Bridge covert, and back to Kineil House, under which he found safety in a drain. Paddock Hall covert was then drawn, from which,after a sharp burst, a fox ran to a drain at Cariden ; being bolted, he was run to another drain, but being again bolted, he was run into after a short scurry. — Edinburgh Evening Courant.

Several gentlemen being at Fulham one Sunday, a very elegant entertainment was prepared to do his mother all due honour. When the old lady, however, beheld the splendid sideboard and table laden with all the varieties of ths season, she was struck dumb with amazement, and hardly spoke during the repast. Having at length taken an op portunity of withdrawing, she sent for her son, whom she thus addressed :--" JOIIN," said she, " I shall not stop another day to witness your shameful extravagance." "Ms dear mother," replied Joos, " you ought to consider that I can well afford it ; my income, you know " —" No in come," interrupted the old lady, " is sufficient to stand against such shameful prodigality. The sum which your cook told me that very turbot cost ought to be enough t( support any reasonable family for a whole week." "Pooh, pooh ! my dear mother," responded DUNNING ; " you would not have me appear shabby ! Besides, what is a tur bot, after all?" " Pooh, pooh !" re-echoed his mother ; " don't pools me, JOHN. I tell you such goings on can come to no good ; and you will see the end of it bells'', long. However, it shan't be said that your mother en couraged such sinful waste; for I mean ,to set off in th( coach for Devonshire to-morrow morning." All DUN NING'S rhetorical efforts to detain his soother in town were of no avail ; the old lady kept her word.— The Club Of London. ORIGIN OF THE BEEF-STEAK CLUB] Whilst . Rich was employed in planning a pan tomime, his atelier, a small room in the theatre, was almost as much frequented as Canova's or Thorwaldsen's in our days. Every one seemed anxious to be admitted to see him at his interest ing labours. Amongst these were several men of rank and wit; for Rich's colloquial oddities were much relished. The celebrated Lord Pe terborough, then somewhat advanced in years, Hogarth, Sir James Thornhill, &c. &c. were of the number. At these visits he never intermit ted his labours, nor his strain of facetious remark. Upon one occasion, accident having detained the Earl's coach later than usual, he found Rich's chit-chat so agreeable that he was quite unconscious that it was two o'clock in the afternoon; when he observed the man of pantomime spreading a cloth ; then coaxing his fire into a clear culinary flame, and proceed ing with great gravity to cook his own beef-steak on his own gridiron. The steak sent up a most inviting incense, and my Lord could not resist Rich's invitation to partake of it. A further supply was sent for ; and a bottle or two of ex cellent wine from a neighbouring tavern, pro longed their discourse to a late hour. But so delighted was.the old Peer with his entertain ment, that, on going away, he proposed re newing it at the same place and hour on the Sa turday following. He was punctual to his en gagement, and brought with him three or four friends, " men of wit and pleasure about town, ; ' as Mr. Bayes would call them ; and so trulry festive was the meeting, that it was posed that a Saturday's club should be. held there, whilst the town remained full. A sump tuary law, even at this early period v:ithe society, restricted the bill of fare to beef.stcaks, and the beverage to port wine and pima. Thus the cor ner stone of the Sublime Society was laid. But the original gridiron upon which Rich had broiled his solitary steak, being insufficient in a short time for the supernumerary worshippers in the temple of Beef and Liberty, the relic was enshrined as one of the tutelary and household divinities of the club. Fortunately, it escapeil the fire which consumed Covent-garden a few years since, and now presents itself, encircled with its motto, and suspended from the ceiling, to every eye, whch can spare a wondering glance from the beef smoking before it.— The Clubs of London. A most extraordinary caprice of Nature oc curred in this town, on Sunday morning last, in the birth of a female child having two distinct and perfectly formed faces. Elizabeth Verrier, the mother of the child, is the wife of a carpen ter, residing in Holway-lane. She had, previ ously, seven healthy children, neither of them ex ' hibiting the least deviation from ordinary nature. In the present instance there was no prematurity of birth ; the child lived three-quarters of an hour, and in the course of that period cried very audibly three times. From which of the two mouths these cries issued is not ascertained ; but there is nothing in the structure of either of tile faces to indicate a superior faculty in one over the other, ; every component part of the faces is distinctly formed in each, and both of them present the pleasing countenances of two fine babes. At that part of one of the faces where the usual formation of, the ear takes place, the additional time commences, with a slight undulation towards the cheek of the second face, which then proceeds through all its regular features until it terminates at the left ear, so that the face on the sight side has one ear, and the face on the left one also. The space on the back of the head is, from the encroachment of the faces, very limited ; but it is, as well as the upper part of the head, covered with hair. In all other respects the child is regularly formed. A very accurate drawing has been made of the child, and is now in the hands of a lithographer.. The mother of the child is doing well, and has been benefitterl by the receipt of a considerable c sum, in various donations, from the great number of persons who have been permitted to see the infant, which has been put in spirits, and present an interesting addition to the variour; lusus naturce with which the museums of the curi ous are already furnished.—Taunton Grotius was sentenced to be imprise;ned for life in the Castle of Louvenstein. having been confined there for about a - year, his wife contrived and executed the means of his escape- Perceiving that the guards Were not so strict as they had been in examining the chest which was made use of to carry books and linen to and from the prison, she persuaded her husband to get into it, and remain there as long as it would re quire to go from Louvenstein to Gorcum. Find ing that he could endure the confinement when holes were made in the chest to breathe through, - Madame Grotius determin e d to seize the fi rs t opportunity of effecting her design. Ac cor d inglv, when the Governor went to Heusden to raise recruits, she waited upon his lady, and told her that she was anxious to send away her hus band's hooks; too great an application to which, she said, greatly injured his. health. Having thus prepared the, commandant's wife, and at the same time spread abroad a general report that her husband was ill, on March 21, 1621, she, with the help of her maid, shut him up in the chest. Two soldiers car ried it, and oue of them finding it heavier than usual observed, " There must be an Armi nian in it ;" to which Madame Grotius coolly. replied, " Indeed there are snare Arminian hooks in it." The chest was then brought down on a demanded th e ' ladder with great difficulty, and th e extraor di nary care which was t a k en i n conveying- it made one of the soldiers suspicious. He key, and upon its being refused, he went to the commandant's lady, wh u repr i manded him, saying there were only hooks in the chest, and that they might carry it to the boat. While they were carrying it along, a soldier's wife said there was more than one instance of prisoners making their escape in boxes. However the chest was placed in the boat, and the maid accompanied it to Gorcum, where it was taken to the house of, M. Dazelear, a friend of Grotius : and when every body was gone, the servant unlocked the chest, and let her master out, who had suf fered but little inconvenience, though the length was not above three feet and a half. Being thus Free, he dressed himself like a mason, with a trowel and rule in his hand, and going out at Dazelear's back door, went to Valvie, 'in Bra bant, and from thence,, tO Antwerp. In the ihsew was reported safe , s h that at acknowledgedb s disorder I t ; i a e s den- mean time, while it was believed at Louvenstein that that he was ill, and to give him time to get clear i were ashamed gerous ; but as soon as she learnt from her maid conducted The commandant, in a great rage, put her u n d er a rigid confinement ; but on presenting a poi ._ tion to the States General, they of acting severely to a woman who hefself with so much magnanirr,ii ty, and ordered her to be set at liberty. :,; , ;s ~ _~ ;~ e evc V 3 -7 --. 6 c. 6 N . !..-: 63 ., 2
