to bear the H on. Member for Waterford, designate as unconsti tutional, a n act d one by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, under the ttuthority o f an Act of Parliament. He wishe d to express hisdecided o pi n i on, that, considering the then disturbed state of the eounty of Waterford the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland would , i f he had not acted as he had, have been guilty of a monstrous dere liction of duty. Here was a particular Act of Parliament, framed fora parti cu l ar emergency. How was the Government of Ireland 0 form any opinion of that emergency, other than by that repre sentation which had been made to it by the Magistrates assembled in th e i r G eneral Quarter Sessions ? He did not wish to protract the debate, and should therefore content himself with observing that the detailed statement of the outrages committed in the bee Ccni n nty of W aterford, as given by the Right Hon. S ecr etary had well ' Properly, and concisely expressed, by t h e H on . Member himself, who described the existence (to use his own words) of a hurricane of excitement. Mr. VAN HOIVIRIGH said, that it was perfectly well known, that there had been a great e xcitement in the County Waterford, during the late election. Mr. STUART, in reply, still contended that the proceeding of which he complained was uncon stituti o nal. The m ot i on was then agred to. Mr. V. STUART afterwards presented a petition on the same subject from the county of Waterford. 14r • GOULBURN asked whether the Orders to which the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. H. Grattan) had alluded, were not i ssued under the Peace Preservation Act ? and whether they Were not confined to a particular county ? Mr. H. GRATTAN replied, that the operation of those orders extended several miles round the City of Dublin.

Morning 2l minutes after 5. J Evening 46 minutes after 5, w n LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1827. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile of Thursday morning, were received in due course last night. The Quotidienne asserts positively that the INFANT DON MIGUEL is expected very soon in Paris, and that, after a short stay, he will proceed, not to Brest, but to Madrid. This statement is, however, classed by the Etoile under " Lies of the Day." The Journal des Debats says, that it is no longer doubtful that important negotiations have been com menced at Constantinople for the pacification of Greece. The - discussion of the law on the Slave Trade commenced on Tuesday, and, as the name of one person only remained inscribed to speak upon this subject, it was expected that the Project would be adopted without delay. (From the Etoile, dated Thursday, March 15.) " LIES OF THE DAY. . •__ " PARIS, MARCH 14.—The Quotidienne—lt seems certain, that the Infant Don Miguel is expected very shortly at Paris ; we can affirm that lodgings are already bespoken for that Prince in the Hotel Meurice. It is also asserted, that the Noble Infant, after a short stay at Paris, will set out, not for Brest, but for Madrid. " The Augsburg Gazette announces in a letter from Mentz, that negotiations have been opened at Aix-la-Chapelle, between Prussia and the Netherlands, for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce, and the removal of the difficulties relative to the navi gation of the Rhine. The conferences are conducted on the part of Prussia by M. Delius, who has given numerous proofs of en lightened views and distinguished talents. " The purchase of the brig on board which Lord Cochrane has sailed, the fitting it out, and arming it, &c., have cost 260,000 francs. His Lordship takes with him, for the purposes of his expedition, a sum of about 200,000 francs. Besides this, his Lordship is to remit to the Committee at Napoli, which is to pay the crew and the troops under his command, 155,000 francs in money and bills of exchange ;in all, 615,000 francs. On com municating these particulars to the Committee at Geneva, M. Eynard adds__' In the state of penury in which Greece now is, it was highly important for the success of the projects of Lord Cochrane, and the necessary preservation of harmony, that that Admiral should be able to maintain his crews, and even to pay, and support the troops which he might require from the Govern ment. In order that this expedition might not in any manner be an expence to exhausted Greece, several cargoes of provisions have been sent out for the use of the squadron.' " FRENCH Fusns, MARCH 14.—Five per Cents., 98f. 80c. ; Three per Cents. 69f. 25c. ; Bank Stock, 1,985 f. ; Neapolitan, 75f. 45c. ; Spanish Bonds, (1823), 52E—Exchanges on London, one month, 25f. .35c. ; three months, 25f. 20c. The reports which we mentioned yesterday through the French Papers, of the Spanish Army of Observa tion having fallen back a short distance from the Fron tier, have been confirmed by letters from Madrid to the 7th inst. Various causes for this movement are assigned : one says that it is owing to the difficulty of procuring forage and other necessaries for the troops : another, that it has been done to allow the Portuguese Refugees to find an asylum in Spain with out meeting with troops to disarm them :, a third, that FERDINAND is not desirous actuallyio bring his - troops at present in collision with the Portugue - se or British forces : and a fourth, that lie has no real inten tion of going to war, but has made the Portuguese business a pretence for raising an army and filling his coffers at the expence of the Apostolicals, against whom both will be hereafter employed. The latter is altogether improbable, for we suspect that his MA , „TESTY would have found it a difficult task to outwit the Priests and others of the Apostolical party who surround his sacred person. The real cause of the change of the position of the Spanish troops is pro bably t o b e t ra ced to the apprehe nsion of some act taking place, if they remained close to the frontier, which might commit the Government of Spain before all its preparations were complete. As soon as they are we shall hear of no more retrograde movements. The .Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th instant, and Hamburgh Papers of the 6th, have been received this morning, from which we make the following extracts : TRIESTE, 3IARCII 2 A private letter from Corfu, of 13th Feb. affirms, that the ruins of Missolonghi were taken possession of on the sth Feb. in the evening, by the Greeks, in whose eyes they must be classic ground. We look for the confirmation of this intelligence. BUCHAREST, FEB. 20. A Courier who left Constantinople on the Sth instant, has passed through this city, but the Austrian post from that capital, which we have expected these two days, has not yet arrived, it is probably detained by the rising of the rivers. STUTGARD, MARCH 8. Accounts from Switzerland give the following particulars re- 1 specting the severity of the winter. In the higher parts of Switzerland the mercury in Reaumur's thermometer fell in several places to thirty degrees below the freezing point : for instance, in the valley of Urseren, at the foot of St. Gothard, at Dissentis, in the Grisons, at Gadmen, and Gultenen ; and it even fell as low as twenty-five in some of the elevated values of the Canton of Neufchatel, at Brevine, Lode, La Sagree, and Travens. Besides such a quantity of snow fell that it was two feet deep in the towns, among others, at Vivay, Lausanne, and Geneva, and it is believed that at the heights it was twenty feet deep. The fate of the innkeeper of Schwaerenbach, on the road of Gemini, excited general interest. His house was buried under an enormous mass of snow, and he remained with his family in that dreadful situation during the whole month of January, deprived of all communication with his neighbours, and in danger of perishing with want. Two avalanches added to the distress of these unfortunate people. Many attempts were made from Kundersteig to save them, but it was not till the last day of January that they could be extricated, and conveyed to a village at the distance of two leagues from Schwaerenbach. ST. FETERSBIJRGH, FEB. 21. A letter from. Odessa, of the 30th ult., says, that the naviga tion continued without interruption. The Odessa Shipping List for last year does not mention the loss of a single ship, though many sailed late in the autumn, at which season the navigation of the Black Sea is very dangerous. STOCKHOLM, FEB. 23. An estate has been purchased in Scauia for the widow of Mar- steal Ney, whence it is presumed that she intends to fix her resi dence in Sweden. The College of Justice has now passed sentence in the action respecting the estate of M. Filen, and has declared the pretensions of the claimants for Scania to be unfounded ; but as the plaintiffs had some grounds for bringing the action, each party pays its own costs. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 26. The number of schools on the system of Bell and Lancaster, established in Denmark, amounted on the 31st of December, 1824, to 244 ; on the 31st of December, 1826, to 1,545 ; and in the course of 1827, the system will be introduced in 462 other schools, making in all 2,007 schools that have already declared in favour of this system. We gave in our Paper of yesterday some extracts from the Irish Journals, describing the indignant feel ings with which the Catholics had received the intel ligence of Parliament refusing even to consider the nature of their grievances. We envy the nerves of those men who have contributed to produce such effects, and who can view with unconcern the blessed result of their cautious policy. For our part, we know not how any one could feel more afraid of the Ca tholics, if they had a hundred Members in the House of Commons, than when the whole body seem actu ated by a common feeling of resentment and despair at the insult which has been offered to them by the cavalier rejection of their claims. But far be it from us to act the part of incendiaries ; on the contrary, we would entreat the Irish people, as we have done be fore, to consider the utter absurdity of an appeal to arms, by which conduct they would justly convert into open enemies those numerous friends who now so strenuously advocate their cause. If they will not do injustice to themselves, we should say that they are certain to succeed at no distant period. All the talent of Parliament (with three or four exceptions) is in their favour, and the generous noble-minded English will not always be the dupes of those artifices by which they have been terrified into petitioning against the Catholic Claims, represented to them as involving (not by mere possibility, but inevitably), the destruction of their families and of all that is dear to them. If, during the last election, Catholic candidates, as they are called, had appealed boldly to the good sense and good feeling of the Electors in manly argu ment on the case, instead of shrinking from the sub ject of Emancipation, the state of public opinion would have been very different at present- The timid no doubt are always•cruel, caring little what others suffer, so they themselves run no possible risk, but this is not the characteristic of Englishmen, and unless they had been unfairly dealt with, their acuteness would not have discovered such frightful dangers where the greatest Statesmen can perceive none. But this delu sion cannot last. We can understand men demand ing securities ; but wishing to leave Ireland as she is, is perfectly unaccountable. By the Martha, Captain Barber, arrived at Liver pool, from New Orleans, accounts have been received to the 10th of February : _ NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 10. The weather, since Monday, the 22d ult. has been unpleasantly warm, yet dry and favourable for businesS. It is generally sup posed that in a few days more we shall hear of the breaking up of the ice, and a rise in the Ohio river, which news is anxiously ex pected by the arrival of numerous steam-boats with full cargoes for this place. Our market, with the exception of heavy trans actions in cotton, continues rather languid, and affords but few alterations of importance to notice since our last report. The Mississippi still continues very low. COTTON.—The transactions in this article since the date of our last, have been more extensive than any week during this season, and may be fairly estimated at 8000 kles, if not more. The principal demand as heretofore, was confined to the middling and lower qualities of Lousiania and Mississipi, at our former rates, i .which are continued; choice and prime, as termed here, have met a moderate request without any improvrment in price ; in the former, we have heard of a few bales bringing one half per cent. over our quotations ; the late arrivals from Alabama have not had time to be offered in market, and in that from Mobile we have been unable to hear of sales sufficiently large to venture quota tions ; according to the Liverpool classification, we quote Loui sania and Mississipi. Ordinary, middling 8 8 Middling to fair Fair to good fair 10 10 Good fair to good 104 114 dull. Good and fine 12 13 in fair demand. ToaAcco.—Cleared, since our last, for Bremen, 144 hhds. We have no arrival or sales to notice; therefore continue at former nominal quotations, and do not know of any on first hands for sale. Stock in hand to-day, including all on shipment not cleared, 143 hhds. Stock in hand at same time last season 736 hhds. Nine teen flat boats from Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Indi ana, Tennessee, and Illinois had arrived in the Missisippi. About 28 steam boats are now plying in the Missisippi. The Times has another speculation, to-day, on the probable Ministerial arrangements; but, with the ex ception of the first sentence, which alludes to a letter addressed by an exalted Personage to Lady LIVER POOL, there is not a single word in it which has any foundation in fact, or any probability of being verified. We understand, that, up to the present moment, his MAJESTY has not expressed his pleasure with regard to Lord LIVERPOOL'S successor; and, that unless his LORDSHIP should sufficiently recover to be pre viously consulted on the subject, the probability is, that no arrangements will be made till the Easter Recess. In the meantime conjecture is of course at work as to the arrangement likely to take place, and it is a little remarkable that the Times, in its speculations on the subject, should not have mentioned the report which has been most prevalent for the last two days ; namely, that Mr. ROBINSON iS to be called to the House of Peers, and placed at the head of the Government. But, as we before observed, no arrangements have been decided on, and therefore all such reports rest on mere conjecture. We have received this morning the following letter from a Naval Officer at La Guayra, giving some inte resting particulars of recent events in that quarter :-- LA GIJAYRA, General Paez made some demonstration against Puerto Cabello, Some cavalry which approached it were driven off with loss, and 200 of his infantry marched over to the besieged Bolivar, who had arrived at Bogota on the 25th of November. This event was ad nounced by Paez, by proclamation, who sent Commissioners to meet him, in order to declare the state of the country. The head of this Commission was a civilian (Dr. Pena), a clever rogue. Paez, at the same time, proclaimed that he would meet Bolivar at the frontier, in order to enforce from him a pledge and guarantee to insure the integrity of the State upon the basis of a federative and popular representative Government. In the meantime, a re port reached Paez that his Commissioners had been surprised and killed by a party from Bolivar of 200 men. This enraged Paez, who expressed himself most indignant, and he despatched 1,500 irregulars to revenge the supposed insult. The report, I believe, proved untrue ; but I believe the Commissioners have not been heard of. This, coupled with the declaration of independence which had been promulgated on the '7th of November, you will suppose would have sufficiently inculpated Gen. Paez with Bolivar. But mark the sequel—the President had set out from Bogota, merely professing he was going to Venezuela as a private citizen ; but, on his arrival at Maracaibo, on the 19th of December, he, by proclamation, assumes the chief authority, and directs all others to obey him, and no other ; that all hostilities should cease ; and, on his arrival in Caraccas, he would assemble the Electoral Colleges, with a view that they may declare when, where, and how the Grand National Convention shall be assembled. Bolivar then i left Maracaibo, and, after crossing the lake, embarked in a I schooner, and landed at Puerto Cabello on the 31st of December. On the following day 'he issued a proclamation, which is very short and pithy, decreeing a general amnesty to all persons engaged in the revolt of Gen. Paez, and appointing him (Paez) superior Chief of Venezuela, and a Gen. Marino (a great rascal) to the In tendancy and military command of the province of Maturin, for merly Cu 'liana. Shortly after this, - Paez, by Bantlo, acknow ledged Bolivar his superior, and ordered all others to do the same. He also rescinded the proclamation by which Venezuela was de clared independent. After the investment of Puerto Cabello, the regular troops fell off very much from Paez, and he was left with one regiment, a few cavalry, and a mass of lancers and militia men, risen from the plains (Llaneros.) I hear Paez invited Bolivar to come to him at Puerto Cabello, which he declined. Bolivar then went to meet him, attended simply by his Aid-de-Camp ; and, finally, he entered Caraccas in the same carriage with Pan, amidst unbounded acclamation ; and enthusiasm has been at its height ; and, from all I hear, his treatment has been much like Blucher's, in London, in 1815. He always has Paez with him, and, on all public occasions., eulogizes him to the skies. But he has him to live in the same house with him, so that there are two Courts under the same roof. Paez, I am told, is most perfectly happy, and I presume will eventually become the complete tool of Bolivar; or, if not, the President will watch his opportunity, and upsat him. In all the fetes and fooleries that have been going on, Bolivar has bowed to the people implicitly. A Nymph entered, and presented a palm and a crown to him : they were thrown to the mobility, as meriting them ; and, by and by, you will find he will lead them into his Bolivian shackles, provided in his Code of Laws. On one occasion a number of flags were presented to him, in scribed with the cardinal virtues. Glory, he said, belonged to Great Britain, as having the greatest right to it; bravery he gave to Paez ; Integrity he reserved for Mendoza, who is in exile by Paez's order. England and the English he has been profuse in his compliments to. lam told he is a very fluent and excellent speaker. I shall see him, I hope, in a day or to. He is certainly (more particularly for this country) a very extraordinary man— as subtle as Buonaparte—full of activity and courage—and by out means or other he will contrive to rule this country. He was very coolly received at Bogota, and he abused them in no mea sured terms. He told the Authorities that, with the exception of Santander, they had all acted ill during his absence; and he was most particularly indignant that the interest of the loans had not been paid, and the public credit maintained. I I purpose staying here for a fortnight. Our friend company with Bolivar : he is completely bitten by him. For my self, I have not yet come within the influence of his magic. His talents, no doubt, are great; but that he intends to be perpetual President, and to name his successor, there can be no doubt at all ; and I dare say he would administer well ; but the principle is not very democratical. Madrid. Gazettes to the 7th March have arrived by express, but they do not contain any news of import ance. The Inspector-General of the Royal Volun teers of Spain has addressed FERDINAND on the 20th February, saying, that the battalion of Heseucia offer their services to any part of the Spanish frontiers, should it be the intention of the Portuguese troops to attack S lam.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. CRAWSHAT V. COLLINS.-WATT.INS V. MAULE..-G RANT V. GRANT, AND RE BATCHELOR. His LORDSHIP will ' give out his orders in these cases either to-night, or early on Monday morning. GLASSINGTON V. THWAITES. His Loarsuip thought this was a case in which he was either to say that all the proceedings, lengthy and complicated as they had been, must be considered as having gone for nothing, or decide whe ther exceptions should not have been allowed to the first thing put in by the - defendants, called a dis Claimer and answer. The Court never recollected a case having been conducted as this had been, and its present impression was, that it ought to put an end to all that had been done, since the disclaimer and answer had been put in, making such regulations with respect to the costs as appeared to it to be just, regard being had to the singularity of the pro ceedings that had taken place. This sort of order his Lordship will draw out immediately. SIZE OF THE CHANCELLOR'S HEAD. His LORDSHIP, on being asked if he was prepared to dispose of some other cases standing over for judgment, said lie really was not. He believed that no man living had ever had so much to do, as he had had lately, there had been so much for him to do in the House of Lords. To do all that was expected of him, his head ought to be as big as Westminster Hall. SITTINGS. _ _ . - - His LORDSHIP was not quite sure whether be should be able to sit here on Tuesday or not ; if not, he believed he should be able to sit on Monday and Wednesday. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ELEY V. BICKNELL. This cause was put in the paper at the request of Mr. Beams, in order that he might submit an application on the part of a Six- Clerk. It appeared that a bill of foreclosure had been filed by a mortgagee, subsequently to the execution of the mortgage, the mortgager made a settlement, and whilst the bill of foreclosure was in progress, a child was born, who under the settlement claimed an interest in the mortgaged premises. It became neces sary to make this child a party to the suit, and a supplemental bill was filed for that purpose. The Sergeant at Arms produced the infant in Court, when his Honour was pleased to direct that the Six-Clerk should act as the guardian of the child, and protect its interest in the suit. The Six-Clerk bad, in consequence of this guardianship, been put to considerable expense, and the object of the present application was, that he be allowed these costs. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the application. It would be very unreasonable to make the Six-Clerk suffer, in consequence of the appointment under the Court. ELEGANT FURNITURE, GLASSES, L. Cooper, 93, Bishopsgate-street-Within, respectfully apprizes the Nobility and Gentry, that he continues to supply every description of Upholstery and Cabinet Work, with Glasses of the most en treme size as well as moderate dimensions, and every other artiole connected with the furnishing of Houses in the most splendid as well as the neatest style, combining elegance and simplicity with true taste, thus obtaining, at a very moderate expence, such a su perior general effect, which the most laboured and costly furniture when not well arranged, ever fails to produce. Fenton's New Hotel, St. James's-street, which is considered one of the first in Europe for elegance and convenience, was entirely fitted up from this Establishment, and presents a handsome specimen of the style adopted by H. L. C. to attain the desired effect. H. L.

WINDSOR, MARCH 16.—His MAJESTY arrived at the Royal Lodge on Wednesday evening at eight o'clock, in his travelling carriage, unattended by any military escort. The KING has .not since left the Royal Lodge for any out-of-door exercise ; but con tinues to enjoy good health and spirits. There are no arrivals at the Royal Lodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday, and in the evening entertained the Hon. Miss Townshend at dinner. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—" Lord Liverpool has passed a middling night, but is going on very well." MR. CANNING.—Doctors Holland and Warren held a consultation this morning on the state of the Right Hon. Secretary, which lasted about an hour, when they reported, "Mr. Canning is going on well." _ _ We are authorized to say that the Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury is no longer at home on Thursday', The Duchess of Kent eptertained the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Carlotti, to Dinner, on Thursday, at her apartments, in the King's Palace, Kensington. Viscount Palmerston transacted business yesterday with Earl Bathurst, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, trawl acted business yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Countess of Charleville entertained an elegant Circle of Fashionables yesterday evening, at her house in Caven dish-square. LANCASTER ASSIZES.—THE KING v. WAKE FIELD.-This case is fixed for a day the middle of next week, and among the many extraordinary rumours circulated respecting it, is one, that the defendants have arranged matters, and that no trial will take place at all. But this story is very far from the truth. None of the witnesses have yet arrived. At the races at Malden, in Essex, in 1748, only three horses started for the plate, and the whole three were dis tanced the first heat, according to the common rules of horse racing, without any quibble or equivocation—the first ran on the wrong side of the post, the second was deficient in weight, and the third fell and broke a foreleg. The Statue of our late most gracious Sovereign, when first erected in the square at Somerset-house, supported iu its right hand an Olive Branch, which, during the period rhea the late French war raged with doubtful prospect, most singularly dropped from the Monarch's hands, as it were denoting the incor rectness of the symbol thus originally placed as an emblem of a reign of peace ; but, however, as the position of the hand requires that it should hold some emblem or other, it is hoped that the proper department will, by the introduction of one, cause the figure to be restored to its original perfect design. Whether in good times or bad, Hymen seems busy. It is a fact, that for the last several Sundays, upon an average, eleven couple have been "ask'd " in Mansfield Church ;—and last week a pair having concluded upon being united in wedlock's bands, the happy groom (sooner than lose the chance) actually borrowed a ring to place on his " fair one's" finger. A wealthy lawyer lately left a legacy to the house of Bedlam, and, being asked the reason, said, he had got his mo ney by fools and madmen, and thought it but fair to leave them a portion of it at his death. The first Astronomer of the age, the Marquis de la Place, died on Monday morning; and the Count Stanislaw' Girardin, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, and the Emilius of Rousseau, died a few days since.—Literary Gazette. A glorious bull is related in the sketch of Dr. Sims, "of a countryman of his, for whom he had prescribed an eme tic, who said with great naivete, My dear doctor, it is of no use your giving me an emetic ; I tried it twice in Dublin, and it would not stay on my stomach either time.' "—Nage! Canons, At the Ennis Assizes, an Interpreter who was ex amining a witness in Irish, was desired to ask some question in which it was necessary to • introduce the word " party." In shaping the question he used no translation for that word. Jus tice Torrens.—ls there no Irish word for " party ?"—A laugh.) Mr. O'Gorman—No, my Lord, neither is there any word for the English word " ingratitude."—(A laugh.) When the Earl of Bradford was brought before the Chancellor, to be examined upon application for a statute of lunacy against him, the Chancellor asked him, " How many legs has a sheep ?" " Does your lordship mean," answered Lord Brad ford, " a live sheep, or a dead sheep ?" "Is it not the same thing ?" said the Chancellor. " No, my lord," said Lori B. " there is much difference a tieep may have four legs; a dead sheep has only two ; the two fore legs are shoulders ; but there are but two legs of mutton."—Doncaster Gazette. ANECDOTE OF SIR RICHARD JBB.—Sir Richard being called to see a patient who fancied himself very ill, told him ingenuously what he thought, and declined prescribing, thinking it unnecessary. " Now you are here," said the patient, " I shalt be obliged to you, Sir Richard, if you will tell me how I must live, what I may eat, and what not." "My directions as to that point," replied Sir Richard, " will be few and simple. You must not eat the poker, shovel, or tongs, for they are hard of digestion ; nor the bellows, because they are windy ; but any thing else you please !"—Literary Gazette. DRUNKENNESS.—TraveIIers on the great North road are puzzled with the meaning of the " Ram Jam House," near Greetham Inn. The vulgar opinion has been that it arose from an untelligible exclamation of a plan made drunk with the ale lie found there—" Ram jam, by G—!" The true origin of the word may, however, be found in the language of Indostan, where Ramjam signifies a drunkard. Ramjam house must' there fore mean the house of drunkards, which probably was not the in tention of the Magistrates who renewed the licence, nor of the re spectable persons who keep the house.—Rees' Cyclo art. DR. FORDYCE.—The author does not tell this story—perhaps it is one we have heard of the worthy Doctor, who, afeer getting home highly primed from a dinner party, was called out to see a lady taken dangerously ill. "So (said the Doctor eta lady's with o n wr e i h st an ; d b fo u r t, a alas a l n balance, his man) by G—d I can't go at all ;—if I do, you must lead m." He was led to the room , an d the p atient stretched u p on a bed.— hold seized f a uponbed-post g o o t tl f i a e s r t attempts to note the pulsation were vain, and he could only mum bleaThde with Doctor the out, "Drunk, by Jove drunk !" " Ah, madam !" cried the Abigail, as soon as the physician had staggered out, " what a wonderful man ! How soon he discovered what was the matter with you !"—Literary Gazette. ANECDOTE OF DR. JOHNSON AND JACOB rR.VANT. —My friend, the late Lord Grosvenor, had a house at Salt-hill, where I usually spent a part of the summer, and thus became a neighbour of that great and good man Jacob Bryant, who kindly encouraged me to visit him. Here the conversa tion turned one morning on a Greek criticism by Dr. Johnson, in some volume lying on the table, which I ventured (for I was then young) to deem incorrect; and pointed it out to him. I could not help thinking that he was somewhat of my opinion; but he was cautious and reserved. " But, Sir," said I.—willing to overcome his scruples—" Dr. Johnson himself (a fact which, Mr. Bryant well knew) admitted that he was not a good Greek scholar." " Sir," lie replied with a serious and impressive air, " it is not easy for us to say what such a man as Johnson would call a good Greek scholar." I hope that I profited by the lee. so n--certainly, I never forgot it ; and if but one of my readers do the, same, I shall not repent placing it upon record.-- Gi f ford's Preface to Ford's Dramatic Works. The late Mr. Rundell, when a young man, was rather partial to theatrical amusements, having a niece then upon the Drury-lane boards (Miss Harpur), now the wife of John Bannister, comedian, whose family he has so liberally provided for in his will. When King, the celebrated representative of Sir Peter Teazle, &c. &c., retired from the stage, his brother per formers subscribed, and presented him with a silver cup and cover, having their names engraved upon it. Some years afterwards his widow, from adverse circumstances, was compelled to part with it, and sent it to Ludgate-hill by the late Mr. Wroughton. Mr, Rundell, after purchasing it for the concern in the usual way of trade, repurchased it on his private account, and sent it back to the widow, begging her, if ever compelled again to part with it, to let him know. The following took place between the late Duke of York and Mr. Rundell :—His Royal Highness calling at Ludgate-hill to make choice of a gold snuff-box, Mr. Bridge, who was in the habit of attending upon him, not being at home, he was waited upon by Mr. Rundell, when the following dialogue took place :—The Duke—Mr. Rundell, you must be very rich ? Mr. Rundell—Bless your Highness, quite the contrary; nobody thinks of paying us what they owe, which keeps us poor (his Royal Highness owing a considerable sum at the time) : but if we could get in our just debts, we might be rich. The Duke made no reply, but put down the box he was looking at, desiring Mr. Bridge to call. The next day he sent a cheque for 5001. to be placed to his account, which pleased Mr. Rundell as if it was a gift, exclaiming to his partners, he knew Mr. Bridge o ' l4 make them pay would he only ask.
