ANECDOTES, &c.

THE ROYAL FAMILY GROtTp.—Zotrany was once engaged
as a portrait painter, of whom the following anecdote has been
related :—When he commenced his first picture of the Royal
Family there were ten children. He made his sketch accord-
ingly, and attending two or three times, went on with finishing
his figures. Various circumstances prevented him from pro-
ceedi..g. His Majesty was engaged in business of more con-
sequence ; her Majesty was engaged ; and some of the Princes
were unwell. The cormpletion of the picture was consequently
delayed ; when a messenger came to inform the artist that
another Prince was born, and must be introduced into the pic-
ture. This was not easy, but it was done, with some difficulty.
All this took up much time, when a second messenger arrived
to announce the birth of a Princess, and to acquaint him that
the illustrious stranger must have a place on the canvass. This
was impossible without a new arrangement; one half of the
figures were therefore obliterated, in order that the grouping
might be clear to make room. To do this was the business of
some months ; and before it was finished a letter came from
ons of the Maids of Honour, informing the painter that there
was another addition to the family, for whoni a place must be
found. " This," cried the artist, "is too much : if they can-
not sit with more regularity, I cannot paint with more expedi-
tion, and must give it up."
Sco RING —An eccentric composer of much talent, but ofd
little discretion, had run up a long score at an inn which lie use t
to frequent. The landlord one day told him that he should no •
have any thing more until he rubbed of the old score, which he
immediately did with,his pocket handkerchief, then demanded
" another noggin," but was refused. " Get me a sheet of
music paper, and I will give a much more valuable score," said
he; it was brought; he composed a rondo for the piano-forte,
and sent the landlord with it to a publisher, who gave him more
than his demand for it.
MACKLIN, in his advice to his son, said, "I have often told
you that every man must be the maker or murrer of his own
fortune: I repeat the doctrine. He who depends upon inces-
sant industry and integrity, depends upon patrons of the
noblest, the most exalted kind—tlNy are the creators of fortune
and fame, the founders of families, and never can disappoint or
desert you. They controul all human dealings, and turn even
vicissitudes of unfortunate tendency to a contrary nature. You
have genius, you have learning, you have industry et times,
but you want perseverance—without it you can do nothing. I
bid you wear your motto in your mind con; tacitly—Persevere."
The Mr. 'GUY who founded Guy's Hospital, had made a
great part of his fortune by the South Sea Scheme, and was
advised by a friend, whom he consulted when making his
to search the South Sea Company's books, and return, as had
been done by one or two individuals possessing heroic virtues,
the money to the perishing families that were undonv by the
purchase of his stock. This advice he rejected, although, by
acting upon it, he was told he would have raised a monument
to his memory, as much to his glory as the Hospital, and added
the praise of justice to his fame.
ORIGIN or THE DRAMATIC CENSORSHIP.—HENRY
FIELDING having ridiculed the Ministry in his two plays of
Pasquin and the. Historic Register, a piece called the Golden
Rump, which never was acted, never appeared in 'print, nor
was it ever known who was the author, was sent anonymously to
111 r. Henry (Allard, the manager,of Goodman-fields Theatre,
for representation. In this piece the most unbounded abuse was
vented, not only against the Parliament, the Council, and
Ministry, but even against the person of the King himself.
The honest manager, free from design himself, suspected none
in others; but imagining that a licence of this kind, if permitted
to run to such enormous lengths, would be attended with per-
nicious consequences to his intere:,t, quickly fell into the snare,
and carried the piece to the Minister, with a view of consulting
him upon it. The latter commending highly his integrity in
this step, requested only the MS., but at the same time that
the manager might be no loset by his zeal for'the interests of
his King and country, ordered a gratuityequal to what he miht
have expected from the profits of the representation. The Mi-
nister instantly made use of this manuscript play, to introduce
and pass a bill in Parliament for limiting the number of
theatres, and submitting every dramatic piece to the inspec-
tion of the Lord Chamberlain, previous to its appearance on
the stage.
CITY A RMS.—The introduction of the dagger as a part of
the City Arms, instead of the plain cross which was previously
used, and the_ title of Lord prefixed to Mayor of London, was
first conferred by Richard 11., in consequence of Sir William
Walworth's killing Wat Tyler in Smithfield.
