supported its character for re.pectable and numer-
ous patrons. It never was known so full of respect-

There has been • misunderstanding among the
Antiquaries about the colour which should be worn
in the favours: Sir tA'At.rsit SCOTT said " blue,"
and blue accordingly was the word. If not in the
stockings. at least in the garters, of Edina's dames ;
but it seems, after all, that the thing should be
green—a colour which, in stockings, ladies do most
cordially hate.

The English actors were to recommence their re-
presentations on Tuesday last, but at the theatre of
the Rue Chasttereine instead of that of the Porte
St. Martin. .The performances were to be 'I he
Castle Spectre and Noising the Wind. The indig-
nation expressed at the manner in which they had
been treated was an general, that it was thought the
French would endeavour, by increased attention
and civility, to make up for the outrages of the few
wretches who had cast a stain on the character of
the nation for politeness.—( Paris Paper.)

An officer, who was quartered in a country town,
being once asked to a ball, was observed to sit iii
sadism mood in a corner for some hours. One of the
ladies present being desirous of rousing him from
Iris reverie, accosted him with 4, Pray, Sir, are you
not fond of dancing ?"—" lam very food of dancing,
Madam," was the reply. " Then why not ask
some of the ladies that are disengaged to be your
partner, and strike up?"—" Why, Madam, to be
frank with you, I do not see one handsome woman
in the room." The lady, making a slight curtsey,
left him, and joined her companions, who asking
her what had been her conversation with the Captain
—" It was too good to be repeated in prose," said
she ; " lend me a pencil, and 1 will try to give you
the outline in rhyme:"—
" So, Sir, you rashly vow and swear
Tou'll dance with none that are sot fair;
Suppose we women should dispense
Our hands to none but wren of Pease?"
" Suppose! well, Madam, pray what then ?"
" Why, Sir, you'd serer doses again."

On Tuesday last the Anchor public-house, near
the Great Bridge, in Cambridge, was robbed of a
very considerable sum of money (upwards of 8001)
its bank notes and cash, winch the laudlord had im-
prudently long been in the habit of keeping In the
house. Several persons have been taken up on sus-
picion of having committed the robbery, but they
have been all discharged, no evidence of a conclusive
nature being produced against any of them. The
greater part of the money has been recovered, but
there is said to be a deficieocy of about 3004
