A strange occurrence took place in Dublin a few
nights before the Duchess of Gordon left that city.
A certain Great Man and his Lady invited her
Grace to an entertainment, which invitatioo the
Duchess most graciously accepted. Cooks, musi.
clans, eossfectioners, were all put in requisition to
give effect to the splendid scene. When the tal.les
manse to be laid out, it was recollected that. for its
betty preservation. the family plate had been some
time before lodged at the sign of the Three Blue
Balls!—To obtain it legally was imporable. and it
was as impossible to do without it. In this dilemmas

school books; Mr. Churton, hosier, of Oxford-
street, to send twenty pairs of young ladies' stock-

mikes, and ten five ditto. The only tradesmen who
were not up to the hoax were a perfstcner of War-
wick-street, Golden-square, who sent twelve pounds
of Windsor soap ; and a painter from St. Mary-le-
bone, who sent a man with two pots of paint, one
of green and the other of white, to paint two doors.
Upwards of one hundred respectable tradesmen
left town for Mrs. Mayers's house, to inquire whe-
ther theordem were correct.
