As an ardent admirer of Mr. Pitt, for the un
paralleled Rate oJ prosperity to which my coun
try arrived under h:s administration, 1 have been
Locked at the apparent indifference with which
The news of Ins resignation has been received
throughout the kingdom ; —no addresses, of con
dolence have been prelected, no subscriptions to
purchase an annuity, nor any lamentations for
our irreparable loss. Sad encouragement for oth
er great and virtuous men to dedicate themselves
to the public service ! lam happy, however tp
find there is one set of worthy men, who have ri
folved to manifest their gratitude for the servic
e« he h?s rendered their country. The honora
ble society of Stock-brokers and Dealers in the
funds, wno are now building a new Stock-Ex
change,. intend to ereft a handsome monument
within it, to his ministerial memory ; and a
friend of mine has favored me with a copy of the
intended iofcription, which I fend you herewith
for the gratification of the friends of William
Pit., and for the information of that public which
has derived such permanent benefits from his ad
miuiitration. Yours, &c. Omnium.

' His illness (the King's) began the firft Friday
in Lent, w hen, as lie was reading his dispatches,
the day being exceeding cold, a strong barzier or
chaifing-pan was introduced into his apartment,
the reflection of which acted so powerfully upon
his face, that the sweat Breamed down it. The
King's disposition was such, that he never in his
life found fault with any thing, nor ordered it to
be altered.— I lie Marquis De Sobar, from whon
1 learned this, told me, that feeing how much his
Majesty was incommoded by the brazier, he told
the Duke of Alva, Gentleman of the Chamber,
like himfelf, to have it taken away, as his Majes
ty's cheek was violently inflamed by it. But, as
they are exceedingly punctilious in their duty,
the Duke of Alvia observed that it belonged to
the department of the Duke d'Uxeda, the Grand
Chamberlain (or firft Butler of the person). Upon
this the Marquis de Sobar sent to seek for the
Duke d'Uxeda in his chamber, who was unfortu
nately out of the way : so that before the arri
val of the firft Butler, the King was so much
scorched, that the next day he fell into a violent
fever, which brought on an erefipilas, which
with some intermission terminated in the scarlet
fever, of which his Majedy died !''
A few days since, a coast porter belongingto
PU s ' Q ia y eat for a trifling wager, at the Acorn,
in Water flreet, twenty-two penny beef and apple
pyes, and drank two gallons of porter, one glass
of brandy, one of rum, and one of gin ; but pre
vious to this hearty repafl, he had drank half a
gallon of ale, and two glares of gin and bitters.
If is fnppofed that the pyes weighed upwards of
nine pounds.
One has often heard of the punctilio and gravi
ty of Spanish manners ; but no infiance is more
firiking of this formality than what is recorded
in the Memoirs of Bopomierre refpetting the
death of Philip the Third. We shall give these
extraordinary particulars in the words of the
