most at top of the house, quite detached, and

corps de garde. In that room they ohm you a
cast of a face ill plaster. mad tell you it was taken
from Edward's. I was not quite so easy of faith
about that ; for it Is evidently the face of Charley I.
The steeple of the church, lately rebuilt baud-
vamely, stands some paces from the .holy ; iu the
latter are three tombs of the old Berkeley*. with
cunilsent figures. The wife of the 1-ord Berkeley.

the world helcw its first three thousand years, I
should be at a sad loss on meeting with limner and
Hestia', or any of those moderns io the Elysian-
fields, before I know what 1 ought to think of
them.
" Pray do not betray my ignorance ; the Re-

that their tweleeptimy readers will sock a little

But good night—and once inure thank you fur the
prints."
looked Mr. Walpole seems to have a sort of 'antipathy
against authors, as well as against periodical iterattere.
He
anathematizes the newspapers, and exclaims •gain't almost
every writer whu has not propitiated his feeling into mi ex-
ception by personal acquaintance. Mr. Gauger was one
of these exceptions.
" You will be concerned, my good Sir, for what
I have this minute heard from his neplew, that poor
Mr. Granger was seized at the Communion table
on Sunday with an apoplexy, and died yesterday
morning at five. 1 have answered the letter with a
word of advice about his MSS. that they may riot
fall into the hands of booksellers. He had been
told by idle people so many gossiping stories, that
it would hurt him and living persons, if all his col-
lections were to he printed ; for as he was incapable
of telling an untruth himself, lie suspected nobody
else—too great goodness in a biographer."

Dr. Farmer was another.
" I shall not only (flay 4. 1781) he ready to spew
Strawberry Hill, at any time lie chooses, to Dr.
Farmer, as your friend, but to be honoured with
his acquaintance; though I am very shy now of
contracting new. I have great respect for his cha-
racter and abilities, and Judicious taste; and am
very clear that he has elucidated Shakspeare in a
more reasonable and satisfactory manner, than any
of his hillrete4l commentators, who only compli-
mented him with learning that he had not, iu order
to display their outs."
The 101101%11'1g passage, written forty years ago,
is prophetic :
"I am sorry Dr. E—n has gotluto such a dirty
scrape. There is scarce ally decent medium oh-
ser‘eit at present between wasting fuittnies and fa-
bricating them— imp both by any idst•reptitable
nrtioirr ; for tit to saving mousy by prudent reg.-
ninny, the method is too -low iii proportion to con-
sumptions; even forgery., alas ! aerials to be the
counterpart or restorative of the ruin by gaining.
I hope at leapt that robbery on the highway. will go
out of fashion, as too piddling a profession for
Griot leineii."
We shall extract but one letter more from this amusing
book, but we are sure our specimens are of that light and
recommendatory cliss which will render our readers unwil-
ling is be content with merely our " brief abstract and
chi mock."

14 October 14, 1778.

" I think you take in no newspapers, nor I be-
lieve condescend to read any more modern than
the Paris d la Maim, at the time of the Ligue—
coicoviently you have not seen a new scandal on
my father, which you will not wonder offends me.
You cannot be nits-tested in his defence ; hut, as it
comprehends some very curious anecdotes, you will
not grudge my indulging myself to a friend iu vin-
dicating a name so deur to me.
" In the accounts of Lady Chesterfield's death
and fortune, it is said that the late King, at the
instigation of Sir It. W. burnt his father's will,
which contained a large legacy to that his supposed
daughter, and I believe his real one, for she was
very like him, as her brother, General Schnlem-
hourg, is in black to the late King. The fact of
suppressing the will is indubitably true, the inati-
gator most false, as I can deturnistrate thus
" When the news arrived of the death of
George the First, my father carried the account
from Lord "Townsliend to the then Mince of
Vales. One of the first acts of Royalty is for
the new Monarch to make a speech to the Privy
Council. Sir Robert asked the King who hr
would Flease to have draw the speech, which was,
in fact, asking, who was to be Prune Minister ; to
which hos Majesty replied—Sir Spencer Compton.
It is a wonderful anecdote, and but little known,
that the new Premier, a very dull man, could not
draw the speech, and the person to alimn he applied
was the deposed Premier. 'The Queen, who fa-
voured my father, observed how unfit a mail was
fur successor, who was reduced to beg assistance of
lur predecessor. The Council met as soon as pos-
sible, the next morning at latest. Three Arch-
bishop Wake, with whom one copy of the will had
been deposited (or i t her was, l think, with the
Duke of Wolfenbuttle, who had a pension for
sacrificing it, which, / know, the late Duke of
Newcastle trasisactrd), advanced, and delivered the
will to the King, who put it into his pocket, rod
went out of Council without opening it, the Arch.
bishop not having courage or presence of suiud to
desire it to be read, as he ought to have done.
" These circumstances, which I solemnly assure
you are strictly true, prove that my father neither
advised, nor was cuinnited; nor it is credible that
the King in oar asiglit'r time should have passed
from the Mt?ution of disgracing him, to cake him
Isis 63soin confidant on so delicate an afikir.
" I was rhsce talking to the late Lady Suffolk

not mention any part of this story, but it
is war tli preserving. es I aro sure you are satisfied
with mutt scropulous veracity. It may pet haps be
authenticated hereafter by collateral evidence that
may come nit. If ever true history does come to
light, my father's character will have just hotfoos
paid to it. Lout Chesterfield, one of his sharpest
enemir s, has nut, with all his prejudice', left a very
unfavourable account of loin, and it would alone be
raised by a comparison of their two character..

Mr. DE MAN of jested to the clause which went
to give a reward to workmen to give information
respecting those who employed them, in violation of
the provi•ions of ihis Bill. Ile thought the clause
highly ohjectionible. it would lead to treachery,
perhaps to tal.ehood.

not originated with him, but was called fit by per•
sons in the cutlery trade, who thought it essential,
to give effect to tlle priticiPlo of the Bill.

jectimiable part, which was, that it not wily alm-
h-lied the Trial by Wager of U ittel in all futui.e
cases, but In all casefit now depending." T
he thought, a bad precedent, and the wont, now

DROGHEDA P1:T1TION.
Sir JAMS GRAHAM presented a Petition front
Edward Alderson, agent fur the Drogheda Peti.
lion, praying fur longer time to enter into the ne-
cessary sureties. The Petitioner slated that the
prolongation of time given by the Ilonse, on the
'2 2tl of January, was instiffictesit suable him to
cominuoicatr with the P. MOllit rp in Ireland.
The SPEAKER called the attention of iltv House
to this Petition, and said, that in his own on, the
words of the Act opposed the it ception of this
Petition. By the Act, a Petition dropped, unless
the partirs gave 14 days notice of their sureties;
hut the !loose had is power of extenditig the time,
if, upon oath, sufficient cause were made out to
&auction such nidulgetice. Thus Pttition had
already, upon cause being shown, been eels' iii
(" enlarge" was the word in the Act). and ihst
law gave the !louse no pfiv er oi making a aerosol
enlargement. The present application war, in
to revive, not to enlarge the Petition, and it was
for the House on such an occasion, to refer to the
Act which regulated its pructeditigs in meats of
this 1.1101.
Al.. HATHURST stria, that the worth of the Art
were et-111.4'11y against receiving this Petit i . Brit
from the consideration of the berlollll Injury which
she posies niit ht receive I rejecting it, he
thought the Douse might depart from its usual
course, particularly when they saw that the Unto'.
gefice already grouted by an estestsion of time, had
lethal to the effect intended l.y the House. front the
circumstance of the parties being at a diatauce
tit
Ireland.
Mr. STU ROWS Bovane asked, what delay was
solicited ?
Sir JAMES GIUIIIIAiII replied, only until the 2d
of Marc'.
Mr. Wins said, that this was the first applies..
lion of this kind since the Act bad passed. It was
certainly very unfortunate that the Petitioners lisp-
lit-lard to be situated at such a distance ; but hit
was afraid the Mouse had not she power to waist
what she Petitioners required, at least in this fortis.
A special Act might, however. he introduced rts
give - •eun the time they required. but he thought
ht
they could not obtain Mims/ire. The al pare

hardship of the rase would justify the House in
twitting w .perial Art rm. the purpose.
Sir JAMES GRAII4M consented to withdraw his
Petition.
