(From the Dublin Morning Register.) Yesterday a splendid dinner was given by the Catholics of Ireland, and by the friends of civil and religious liberty, to the Earl Fitzwilliam, at Hayes' Great Rooms, Dawson-street. At sev en o' clo ck upwards of 200. gentlemen sat down to an entertain ment, served up in Hayes' best style. he noble and venerable Earl Fitzwilliam entered the room leaning upon the arm of Mr. O'Gorman, Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland, who conducted his Lord ship to his seat, at the right of the Chairman, Lord Killeen. The whole company rose and testified by one unanimous acclaim their sense of the public and private worth of this most distinguished Nobleman. As soon as the cloth was removed and grace said, the Chairman gave " The King.le—(Loud cheers.)--Tune," God save the King." The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave— " rt he Duke of Clarence."—(Cheers.) In proposing the next toast, the CHAIRMAN said, I shall give you the health of the uncompromising friend of civil and religious liberty— " The Duke of Sussex."— (Great applause.) The venerable and noble guest was most warm in his plaudits after the announcement of this toast. The CHAIRMAN said he would next give them— " Old Irelan,'."—(Tremendous applause.) The next toast was— " TheAlarquirWellesley."—(Applause.)—Tute, "Sprig of Shilelagh." The Noble CHAIRMAN next gave the health of— " The Marchioness Wellesley, and the fair maids and matrons of Ireland."--(Loud cheers. )_Tune, " Kiss me, Lady." The CHAIRMAN said, he now rose to give the health of the venerated Peer who had honoured them this evening with his presence— " The Earl Fitxwilliam."—(Long continued cheers.) Lord Ferzwrwaxt, in returning thanks, said, it is impossible for me to convey t o you the senti ments which I entertain at the highly flattering manner in which my health has been given and re ceived. I feel, as I ought to do, that this, I had al most said premeditated eulogium, which his Lord ship, who so ably ills your Chair, has so kindly pro nounced upon my conduct, is u ndeserving on my part, and yet I cannot refrain from, expressing a de gree of pride at receiving it from your bands. Three and thirty years ago I was deputed to govern this country. I came here, not with the intention to carry into execution any measures at that time can vassed,but m determination was that should they be proposed hey - would receive from me the most heartfelt support. —(Cheers.)—l felt at that time, I now feel, that this country ought to be not a palsied limb of a fettered country, but a vital portion of a free and independent nation. If the measures which I anticipated had been carried into effect, this might—l firmly believe, have taken place. But I was thwarted in the execu tion of measures which I then thought, and which I still think, would be for the advantage of this country and of Great Britain. I feel that I have received from the people of Ireland more than ample recors pence for my public exertions upon that occasion. The measures which I then advocated, and which I s, advocate, were intended to strengthen the connection—they were fraught with no small benefit to this country, and would have been salutary to the empire at large.—(Cheers)—l cannot sit down, without begging your permission to propose the health of my Noble Friend on my right hand. It is not for me to eulogize his worth—his country feels 'and properly appreciates it. It accords to him that meed of approbation to which a virtuous public character is entitled. I briefly thank you for the high honour which you have conferred upon me, and may I add this request, that you will unite with me in toasting the health of my honoured and worthy friend :-- " Lord Killeen."—(Loud cheers.) Lord KILLEEN returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast .contained a sentiment which would be re-echoed throughout that room. He would, without further preface, give -46 The cause of Civil and Religious Liberty all over the world." . . Mr. O'CoNNELL being loudly called for, rose, and addressed the assembly , in an extremely energetic and powerful speech, and concluded amidst the ap plause of the assembly." The CHAIRMAN next gave — The health of Lord Roasmore." His LORDSHIP returned thanks. Lord KILLREIi—It is sufficient for me to say, in proposing the health of a distinguished guest, that I have to introduce to your notice— " The Honourable Frederick Ponsonby." Mr. PONSONBY returned his most grateful thanks. The CHAIRMAN—In former times, the first Law Officer of the Crown was distinguished rather by his politics than his legal knowledge. We Imre now in that high station a man who has not come amongst us as a partisan, but one who has declared, above board, that a publics man should not fear to have his acts canvassed by the community— " The Lord Chancellor of Ireland."---(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—Having drunk the first Law Officer of the Crown, I shall now propose to you the health of the Chief Secretary for Ireland—an honest, upright, and liberal man— The lion. Mr. Lamb."—(Cheers.) The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, although this is not an exclusively Catholic assembly, I am sure that every gentleman present will drink with pleasure the heath of the chosen advocate of the Catholics in the House of Lords— " The Marquis of Lansdowne."—(Loud applause.) " Sir Francis Burdett."—(Cheers.) t p e o m w p e t r e s d , o i f n m y The CHAIRMAN—If I possessed the extraordinary an illustrious t io b n e s friend, th l .l e ir. m O em 'C o o ry nn o e f ll patriot now no proposingmore , to e t review of into a vast benefits which h confe rred ne upon this country. But as I feel I should fall far short of the task, I shall merely propose " The Memory of the Right Hon. Henry Grattan."— ',Drank in solern - a silence.) Mr. JAMBS GRATTAN—I could not hear the last toast announced by my Noble Friend, without feel. jug as a so n of Henry Grattan, that a species of duty was imposed upon me, of returning thanks to this assembly. If anything could enhance the pleasure w hi c h I feel on _this occasion, it is th e presence of the venerated Nobleman, of whom my father was the zealous and constant admirer.—(Hear, hear.) If the advice given by the Noble Lord (Fitzwilliam) to the Government, when he departed from this country, had been since acted upon,_this h city would not present the desert appearance whic it at present exhibits. At that period there were residing in this city 100 Noblemen and 300 Gentle men, who have been made absentees by that ruinous measure—the Union. The Rebellion, in its conse quences, were bad, but the Union was much worse. I am firmly convinced that the disposition of the public mind is in favour of Universal Emancipation. You should not )e deterred, in your exertions for the accomplishment of that great measure, by any temporary dilficu ties— ., Ne cede lulls, sed contra audentior ito." The CHAIRMAQ said that the next health upon his list was that cf— " Lord Plunkett, the Chief Justice of Common Pleas." (Here there wts a loud call for Mr. Shell.) Mr. Smut, said—l obey the summons given by this great assembly. In common with every Irish man I cannot but feel that this country is deeply in debted to Lord Ilunkett. I will not hide from you my disapprobatim of specific measures, erroneously, perhaps, attribued to that e minent person. But allowance must )e made for the peculiarity of the circumstances it which he was placed.—(Loud cheers.) Lord ?lunkett has suffered in the cause of the Catholics ofireland; in that cause he has been a martyr.--(Load cheers.) And where is the man, with a sound tuderstanding and a good heart, who will,for a rnomett, put any mistakes which he may have committed, andinto which be was hurried by circum stances, against the lasting benefits which he has be stowed upon heland,—(Cheers.)

It has been observed, that thirty-three years have elapsed since Lord Fitzwilliam left Ireland. How did he leave it ? In the midst of our sorrows and of our acclamations—of our sorrows for his loss, and of our acclamations for the wise inte n t s which it was beyond his power to realize.—(Loud cheers,)--I doubt not that when he departed, his heart was deeply moved, and I am sure that at this moment, it must be profoundly excited. (Loud cheers.) Thirty-three years have passed, and we are, so far as thankfulness is concerned, unchanged. He sees the current of our gratitnde running as deep and pure as it was, when he bade us farewell, i n hi s younger, but not his better time of life. (Loud cheers.) The hearts from which it springs are thesanie. (Loud cheers.) But, my Lord Fitzwilliam, (for I presume to address myself directly to you,) though we are un changed in sentiment, so far as you are concerned, be assured in other and very essential particulars, the character of the Irish people has . undergone a very considerable modification. When you were amongst us, in your vice regal capacity, we were a debased and servile body. The Protestant aristo cracy lorded it over us, and we spoke in the lan guage, because we entertained the feelings, of an in ferior and degraded body. We were in the dust— we lay prostrate on the earth—we are no longer thus—we have got up. (Loud and continued cheers.) During your Lordship's government the forty-shilling freeholders were the mere serfs of the Protestant proprietors. They have since thrown off theyoke. They have started up in a mOrar insur rection—(loud cheers) —and by their energy, their determination, and their heroism, have afforded the most abundant proofs of the fitness of six millions of people for the reception of freedom. (Loud cheers.) Our cause must succeed. The breath of a King may blow a Cabinet away, but it cannot dissolve the spirit of intrepidity and determination by which we are actuated. I repeat it, we must succeed.— (Loud cheers.)—And when we do succeed, I trust that a great monument, a noble testimonial, will be raised to commemorate the magnificent achieve ment. We will inscribe upon it the illustrious names of those to whom we shall have been chiefly indebted. We shall inscribe the name of Burke, that great Irishman whose genius belonged to man kind, though he was born amongst us. (Cheers.) We shall write down the names of Grattan and of Pitt, and of Fox, and of Canning; and though last in enumeration, not the least in gratitude, the name of Wentworth Fitzwilliam.—(Loud cheers.) " The Lord Chief Justice and the Irish tench." When this toast was announced, there were re peated calls for Mr. O'Connell, who rose and re turned thanks in a powerful and eloquent speech. He said that he was not the less proud of being called, from the sense of his inadequacy to speak in fitting terms to the toast which had been proposed. The high station which was filled by the present Chief Justice of the King's Bench did not orna ment the man; but it borrowed dignity and lustre from the talents, the wisdom, and the uprightness of the individual.—(Cheers.) —lf such a calamity befel this country as the death of Chief Justice Bushe, we might fling Moran's collar upon his tomb. — He rose at the period when Ireland's battle had brought into the struggle many on whom the grave has since closed, and the promise afforded by his early life had been verified in his maturer age. If fancy would paint the beau ideal of perfection in the highest judicial functionary, be (Mr. O'Connell) would defy imagination to present a more dignified image than stood confessed in the person . of- Lord Chief Justice Bushe.—(l,oo . oferi.) Among other toasts given Were— " The Attorney-General of England, Sik James Saar lett,"—(Applause.) " Lord Goderich and theliberatportion of bis Majesty's Mini s t e rs."_(Applause:) " The memory of John Philpot Curran, Big." ' Mr. Curran. returned thanks.

One of the most furious and destructive fires that has occurred in this neighbourhood since that of Messrs. Marshall and Benyon's factory, in Water lane, in this town, which took place on Saturday morning, the 13th of February, 1796, was discovered on Tuesday morning, in the Abbey Mills, near this town, occupied by Messrs. Obadiah Willans and Son, cloth manufacturers. These mills are very extensive, forming three sides of a square, with another building extending from the centre of the north to that of the south side. The west end of the building is five stories high, the three lower rooms of which were occupied as a dryhouse, the one above the dryhouse as a mule chamber, and the upper story as a weaving shop. The men were at work in the dryhouse till five minutes past four o'clock that morning, but all was apparently safe when they quitted the premises; but about half-past five a }ire was discovered by the watchman in the mule chamber, being the south-west corner. He gave an alarm, and two men were sent to Leeds,a dis tance of three miles, for fire-engines. In the mean time the engine of St. Ann's Mill was obtained, but it was applied to the adjoining corn-mill, belonging to Mr. Priestman, to prevent the fire from goiug be yond the woollen manufactory. The fire spread most rapidly along the west side, and to the north and south wings, and a short time before six o'clock it was at its climax; soon after which the roof of the south and west sides of the factory fell in. The Sun fire-engine arrived at a little past six o'clock, and was followed by the Norwich Union, the Leeds and Yorkshire, and the Leeds town engines. Three of these were applied to the fames, and to the pre servationbaneednquite t w o o i atyheadt consumedpuapr n t o of the factory w hich had not by tha t t he p d a e rt vou w r h in ie g h e lement, adjoins Mr. Priestman's corn mill. Messrs. Willans and Son's engine-house was very fortunately preserved. Had not the progress of the flames been arrested in that quarter, the destruction of the corn-mills, which immediately adjoin the north side of the engine house., would have been inevitable. The fulling stocks on the ground floor of the - north-east end of the building, are also preserved, and upwards of a thousand pieces of cloth were removed to a safe part of the pranises with no other injury than that of being wet and soiled. With these exceptions, the whole is one mass of ruins. By this calamitous event, from three to four hundred hands residing chiefly in ili Ks rahnemd Bramley,consisti of Irish famewill Every means was d be thrown out of employ. to save the property; and the Sun fire engine arrived Kirks tall, t (many, B on the spot, from L eeds, in nine minutes.—Leeds ur o le f y intelligcncer.

Wolfe was killed at the moment of victory ; and Montcalm, the French Commander in-Chief, received at the same time his death wound, of which he died on the 14th. The French Go rerument, anxious to mark their approbation of Montcalm's conduct, proposed to erect a monument to his memory in Quebec. The following is a traps lation of a letter from M. Bougainville, Member of the Academy of Sciences, &c., to the Right Hon. Wm. Pitt (afterwards Earl of Chatham) : Paris, March 24, 1761. Sir,—The honours paid, during your Ministry, to the memory of General Wolfe, give me room to hope that you will not disapprove of the grateful efforts made by the French troops to perpetuate the memory of the Marquis de Moutcalm. The corpse of that General, who was honoured with the regret of your nation, is buried at Quebec. I have the honour to send you an epitaph, which the Aca demy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres have written for him, and I would beg the favour of you, Sir, to read it over; and if there be nothing improper in it, to procure me permission to send it to Quebec, engraved in marble, to put over the Marquis de Montcalm's tomb. If this per mission should be granted, may I presume, Sir, to entreat the honour of a line to acquaint me with it, and at the same time to send use a passport that the engraved marble may be received on board an English vessel, and that General Murray, Governor of Quebec, may give permission to have it put up in the Ursuline Church. I ask pardon, Sir, for taking off your attention, even for a moment, from your important concerns ; but to endeavour to immortalise great men and illustrious citizens is to do honour to you. I am, &a. BOUGAIN VILLE. MR. PITT'S ANSWER Sir,—lt is a real satisfaction to me to send you the King's consent on the interesting subject of the very hand some epitaph drawn by the Academy of Sciences at Paris for the Marquis de Montcalm, which is desired to be sent to Quebec, and to be placed on the tomb of the illustrious warrior. The noble sentiments expressed, and the desire to pay this tribute to the memory of their General, by the French troops who served in Canada, and who saw him fall at their head, in a manner worthy of him and of them, cannot be too much applauded. I shall take a pleasure, Sir, in facilitating a design so full of respect to the deceased ; and as soon as lam informed of the measures taken for embarking the marble, I shall immediately grant the passport you desire, and send orders to the Governor of Canada for its reception. As to the rest, be assured, Sir, that I have a just sense of the sentiments expressed to wards myself in the letter with which you honoured me, and that I deem it a singular happiness to have an oppor tunity to express those sentiments of distinguished esteem and consideration, with which I have the honour to be, &c. London, April 10, 1761. WM. PITT. Notwithstanding this correspondence, the French marble was never sent; and it has remained for the English people to do justice to a brave but conquered enemy, by uniting in one monument the tributes of respect to two gallant and high-minded opponents. THEATRICALS IN PARIS. There was an extraordinary representation at the Opera-Comique on Thursday, the 6th instant, for the benefit of Huet, a veteran artiste of this theatre. His bill of fare announced entertainments most de lightfully varied, and of the highest order; and this proof of anxiety to deserve the favour of the public, combined with his length of service, fully entitled him to the very liberal patronage he received. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berri, and the Duke of Orleans and his family, were present; and, in fact, the audience was altogether one of the most fashionable and brilliant I have ever been fortunate enough to see, comprising, as it did, all that is dis tinguished in the financial, literary, and court circles. The splendour of the braids and bracelets, dresses and diamonds (to say nothing of bright eyes), was positively dazzling. The ladies, contrary to custom, went in full dress, and so enchanting was the effect, that I could not avoid breathing forth a wish that it were thus always; for I think of the captivating coquettish little Frangaises as cockney aldermen do of Wenusses—that they ought never to appear ex cept en,grand tenue. At -seven o'clock the amusements of the evening commenced with the comic-opera, Picaros et Diego, in which Ponchard, that sweetest of warblers, inspi red' all those having . the least pretensions to ears r•nd souls with a feeling of the most liVely pleasure. The two concluding acts of Romeo and Juliet were per formed next. To adopt the French idiom, Miss Smithson bore away all the suffrages. Valerie fol lowed. It was played with delightful ensemble, by Mademoiselles Mars, Dupuis, Armand, Firmin, and Monrose. Both the last mentioned pieces were re ceived with great applause, and it was generally re marked, that "the pearl of France," had never ,before' acted Valerie, or the English-woman Juliet, half so well. Next in order came a bluette de cir constance, called La Reunion des Artistes. The name sufficiently announces that the only end propo sed in this little affair was to allow a number of artistes to exhibit their kindly feeling towards the benefi ciare, and make their bow to the audience. It was, however, rife with interest alike to the idle thought less gazer and to the philosopher. The display of splendid fancy dresses afforded matter of wonderment to the one, while the assemblage of so many indi viduals, distinguished by their talent, could not fail to furnish an agreeable subject of contemplation to the other. Amongst the crowd of artistes now in t'beir noon of fame, were to be seen Chenard, Le Sage, and se veral others, prime favourites in their day, who wisely following the advice, " Solve sepreseent enz equum," had retired before age had robbed them of a single laurel. They were warmly and loudly greet ed as they came forward by the audience; but the cheering assumed a higher and more enthusiastic tone, when the principal artistes of the theatres Francais and Anglais advanced together,, Armand :eading Miss Smithson; Abbo4Mademoiselle Mars.

The pedestrian started from opposite the Horse Guards, and although he walked at a pretty sharp rate, ultimately lost the match by one minute and fifty four Reconds. _ _ On Wednesday afternoon, Hutchinson, the pedestrian, undertook, in the Islington-fields, fur a wager of 101., to pick up 100 stones, one at a time ; the stones to be placed a yard distant from each other, and put them into a hat stationed at the place of starting, until the whole was completed. The distance to be run in this undertak ing before it can be accomplished, exclusive of the exer tion in stooping for every stone, is five miles and a half, and two hundred and odd yards ; and the time allowed was forty-five minutes. The pedestrian proceeded on his task in a cool manner, and won his match by four minutes. A superior walking match took place yesterday, between two amateurs, of the names of Williams and Smith. The terms were, to walk one mile, half backward half forward, for 10/. a side. Betting was 5 to 4 in favour of Mr. Williams. The undertaking was decided in favour of Mr. Smith, he doing the distance in 11 minutes 28 seconds ; beating his adversary by about 40 yards. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—LEWES, Dic. 20. George Worrell was charged with stealing in a dwelling-house, two promissory notes, of the value of 10/. ; two promissory notes of the Brighton Bank, of the value of 101.; one coat, of the value of 21.; and one waistcoat, of the value of 10s., the monies and property of Chas. David Dewell, Esq.—Gui/ty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. Charles Carver was found guilty of breaking into the house of Thomas Broad, and stealing various articles, his property. The Court intimated that his life would be spared, but that he would be trans ported for life. George James the younger, Henry Oakshult; James Jones, Edwin Mabel', Joseph •Middleton Prescott, John Godke, Bartholomew Harland, James Cole, Thomas Easton, Charles Parker the younger, George Smart the younger, and John Arthur Tilley, were charged with riotously assembling, on the sth day of November last, at. the parish of Lewes, with divers ' other evil-disposed persons, and with setting off and letting off a certain number of squibs rockets, and serpents, and also with assaulting divers persons named in the indictment. . Mr. Liw having communicated with his clients, said, that he was authorised to inform the Court that his clients would submit to withdraw their plea of not guilty, and enter into recognizances to keep the peace, &c. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN was glad they had come to their senses, for in case of a conviction, he must have dealt very severely with the defendants. The result was cheered by the multitude outside of the Court. CLAIM OF SALVAGE. The following abstract of a case of salvage claim by two American ships of war against a British ves sel and cargo, in the Superior Court of East Florida, will be of much interest to shipowners and under writers : The ship James Mitchell, Robinson, Master, from Liverpool to Havannah, with a cargo of dry goods, &c., ran aground on the night of the 3d of June last, about 35 miles from her port of destination, and the next morning was boarded by a Lieutenant and 21 men, from the John Adams, American frigate. On the lmorning of the 26th, the Officers and men of the John Adams were relieved by a Lieutenant, Midshipman, and nine men, from the Hornet sloop of war, and the following morning she was got afloat, after discharging part of her cargo, which was taken on board again, and proceeded, in company with the John Adams and the Hornet, to Ilavannah, off which port they arrived on the 11th. The salvors, upon their arrival off Havannah, demanded a sum of 35,000 dollars 'in cash, instanter, for their services. The value of the ship and cargo being estimated at 110,000 dollars, which not being complied with by the consignees, wha were ready to give good security for the amount awarded, they took the James Mitchell to Key West, and being leaky, she was run on shore to prevent her from sinking. Her cargo was deposited in warehouses, and the voyage com pletely frustrated, the ship having filled to the water's edge. The Judge, in giving his judgment, which he did at very great length, stated—" In deciding this case, I admit no objection against the right of the salvors, on the ground that they belong to a public ship. That they neither in curred expense, nor hazarded property of their own, in con ferring the benefit for which they claim salvage, are cir cumstances which go to the amount, but not to the right of salvage; and salvage, for this reason, when awarded to public officers, will always be less than when given to private salvors. That salvage, in a proper case, should be allowed to navy officers, is required by the policy of the law, founded on the interests of commerce, and the character of human nature. After a review of the whole testimony, and considering the various points that have been urged on both sides, I am of opinion that the salvors were fairly entitled to a reward of 12,000 dollars had the vessel been taken into Havannah ; but this was not done, and by carrying her to Key West, a new and very dif%rent case is presented. The salvors must be accountable for the damages consequent thereon, which should be Set off against the salvage estimated when off Havannah; and, with the convictions I entertain of law, of justice, and of duty, I am bound to decree, that no salvage is due, aztsl that the libel be dismissed with costs." This unwarrantable proceeding on the I)Art of the American commanders in taking the ship to Key West, has subjected the owners and underwriters of the James Mitchell and her cargo to a very serious loss, the proceeds of the sales of both ship and cargo amounting in the gross to about 30,000 dollars only, and the proceeds not yet recovered. The worthy ivit and poet, who is Row made to father all the bad puns which are made, said, to colle c t hi s on good things into one volume, that, after his demise, no one may be able t o exe rcise the plea sures of memory at his expense. intends, it is w In many parts of the interior, the delight of the . people at the overthrow of the conspirators in the Court of Exchequer, on the memorable 14th, was testified by bonfires and illuminations.

The Combination, a Comedy, 15i 9. I.—ln commencing courtship be good enough to - attend to the following " Directions," drawn, I can assure you, from the experience of a long and not in observant life :—lf your mistress be an antique, praise all that is modern ; if ugly, extol some handsome female friend ; if parsimonious, put four lumps of sugar in your tea. 2.—Smiles, you may remember, are numbered by Chesterfield among the " undoubted proofs of good breeding," of course then you-will grin at every op portunity, more especially when your mistress is dis cussing sentiment. N:B. Do not wait for your own jokes, or you may be placed in an awkward predica ment, like a friend of mine, who having made a rash vow never to laugh but when he had said a good thing, was apprenticed to gravity for life. 3.—Should your mistress be insulted in your pre sence, behave like Cengreve's Captain Bluffe, with true Cluistian indifference, or it may so happen that hostilities may be commenced against your nose.. This, you'll allow, is awkward. 4.—Guess your mistress—when she playfully pro poses the question—to be about ten years older than she chooses to acknowledge. You may add that she bears an extraordinary likeness to your great aunt, by the father's side. s.—Should she ask you for some sentimental book, lend her Colman's " Broad Grins." 6.—And always call when it is likely that her hair is in papers. 7.—Do not fail to keep a bottle of Hunt's Match less Blacking in your pocket. In case of hysterics, it makes an admirable smelling-bottle. Sir T. 1.4 is never without it. S.—Engrave the name of your mistress on the wall of every public-house you visit. Genteel at tentions of this nature never fail to please. 9.—ln walking the streets, be sure you hold your umbrella in such a manner that the rain may drop periodically down the back, or alight on the shoulders, of Your mistress. This will not only keep up an agreeable stimulus, but furnish room for such tender, remonstrances, as " Curse you, keep - your umbrella further off."2/Vec vox hominem sonat, oh, dea certe! 10.—When you approach a sweep, give your mis tress every reasonable chance of coming in contact with him. Surely, surely, you would not wish to keep all the good things to yourself. 11.—Should you be anxious to appear unusually instructive or original, you may remark that London is foggy in November, and that wet feet are apt to give one cold. 12.—1 n escorting your mistress to the various places of amusement in the metropolis, do not omit Bow -street, the Old Bailey, the Tread-mill, and the Fives-court. There is nothing like a taste for the picturesque. 13.—When requested at dinner to assist your mistress to " the least bit more," generously accommo date her with a platefull, abundant enough for Goliah. This will lead the company to conclude that she is a suppo ,,piotsiosensesed of—what xceeding exceedingly yg is called—" ratiryiiigto a avi twist rgin 0 :'; nice sen 14.—Always speal with your mouth full. 15.—Should your mistress he more than com monly addicted to sentiment,she will czxact a kindred feeling from yourself, to testify v.:bich, omit no op portunity of acquainting her ;with the variations in the Consols, or the price of Oil Gas Shares. 16.—Always speak '',;ithout reflection, or you may chance to talk sens!,. 17.—1 f y‘nr mistress abhor dandyism, it scarcely liecessary to remark that you should use Mact'ssar oil and wear stays. 18.—You will of course be rejected the first time you "pop the question." This is the way with the sex, who can no more help vacillating than a lobs ter can help turning red when boiled. I married my first wife (as good a creature as ever breathed) after having been thrice rejected : with• respect to my second, she, poor soul, was a little in liquor at the time, so I lay no great stress on her compliance ; my third and fourth, however,_ expressed such a de testation of me altogether, that I was married to both within a month from my first proposals. Do not then despair, but remember that women, like heresy, adore persecution. 19.—Should your mistress be nervous, take the earliest opportunity of throwing down the tongs and poker. - - 20.—God bless me ! I had very nearly closed these " Directions" without recommending you to cultivate an extensive, or what Sterne calls " a goodly," circumference. Remember the Strasburg traveller, who bewitched a whole town by the enormity of one feature only. Remember, too, Gar gantua, who, when asked by his Queen what were his pretensions to the honour of her hand, said nothing, but pointed to his shoulders, which were received in evidence accordingly. Hercules, as you may perhaps recollect, was nothing without his dim en, sions ; with them he got a name—a mistress—and a thumping: why, then, should not you get the same f—But enough : dixi, I have done.

Independently of the presumption in favour of this opinion, which arises from the improbability that any monster could be found capable of wilfully inflicting such a wound as that to which her death was attributed, there are medical men in the town who, after an attentive consideration of the evidence, have not hesitated to, e xpress their opinion that no murder has I been committed, but that her death was attributable to na tural causes—probably a fall, and a consequent rupture of an internal blood-vessel, to which she would be rendered peculiarly liable by the excitement arising from the great: the nn an. quantity of brandy she had drank. The advocates for this While she was view of the case argue, with reference to the evidence of time, was a pp re .. the two medical gentlemen who were examined on the in quest, that they were both young men, and that, howev er competent to the discharge of the ordinary duties of th e w h as u t u strictly to Vperdinveastde private, profession, it was possible they might not be the best to decide in a case of injury of se peculiar and novel a nature.
