The Percy Tenantry Volunteer Cavalry being
assmbled in Ahrwick for ten days, received, on
Ft idly, the 2!d instant, their new clorhin4 and
helmets ; and, en the same morning, her Grace the
Duchess of NI rthumberland presented to them their
standards, and as she delivered them to the Cornets,
made the following nest and appropriate spes:ch:—

6. Gawritaitm,
" To the care awl protection of the Corps I deliver these
itandards, exactly copra boat the anoint standtirl, of the
Kiev N. in defence 11f which their Tenantry, at old times,
valiantly kireht ,nil co,quered.
" I have no dou,rt, Gentlemen, should your cotmtr► require
Your iervices, but you will prove that tire reliantly of thesis

" Accept them sta.Andi at my hands, and may hnnuar,
glo,y, and success, ever attend them '."
The first standard is half red'and half black, with
the Crescent and letter-lock in the centre, en-
circled by the Garter, with the Coronet above, and
" Es/we/we," the ancient watchword of the tami:v,
underneath ; being tae exalt repre.entation of the
ancient standards of the Percy lamtly, formerly
borne by their men in arms.
In each of the four corners of the standard is ;t

Such are their banners! and if we trac•• back to

I observe, that a Corre.pondent of yours has taken
tome offence at the tar made of a tiler'
Chapel, at this watering-nisr., wh'm he sh; uld have
been glad to avail blots,- -t the opprettsrity of
correcting a very general mistak, here, as I m-yer
heard this little c.,-.Yentieln cant ! by any other am,
pellatton. lam banpi to find, that he his given so
Utisfadory an es • aration ; and. if I prof. by his
rebuke, it will, pet haps, he the first benefit found to
result from this establishment.
The wind has been so_hieb. accompanied with
rain, both yesterday an i in day. and te:.sletell
w tt-r sn rough, as to interrupt the exercise of the
machines, or any sailing parties 9- vsial visitors
have also left the place; but there is still a very
ample number remaining. On account of the great
quantity cf shipping now in the river, appreheMinns
were ent..r!aitted of some mischief being done in the
strong gales of; the night; hut I hive not, this day 4

ANECDOTE FROM A MO; NINE PAI'LR.

Though no Prince or sullen has more reason than
Louis XVIII. to lament the inlet and ingratitude
of our selfish age, nobody can be more liberal and
more benevolent. Lately, the Count de M— was
arrested at Dantzic for 50 iredertcs d'Or, a debt
contracted by a long illness. The Countess arrived
at Mittau, and related to the King her husband's
distress: " My tears," replied His Majesty, "
'ince you that I am not insensible to your ;
but I gaie away, yesterday, to another snffere., all
the money I possessed." When she had withdrawn,
the King was heard walking in the room, much agi-
tated : in feu minute, be ordered her to be recalled.
" I keg your pardon, Madam," said the Royal es-
ile, " tar telling you that I could not help you ; here
is my watch ; take it. and dispose of it ; it was
given me by Louis XVI. who, from his heavenly
abode, inspires and approves this aeien." "
answered the astonished Countess, " a Mere, worthy
of such an uncle, has dread, relieved all my neces-
sities ; the Dachess of Angauleme has peeled uith
her draeelet, arid commanded me to accept the aron
he 041(0551"'

At Stafford Assizes, a cause came an, Roos ca V.
NEWTON, which is of considerable importa..ce to
tradespeople. In January, 1804, the Deleztianc

that he would not pay debts of his wife's co-traa-
ing; but as Mrs. NLVITONStiII resided in the 11,use
with her husband, and as some part of the goods
(nurrcery) wets used in his, the Defenchin.'s house,
the Plaintiff conceived Defendant was liable, and
brought an aftion to recover the amount of his hill.
