ANECDOTES, &c.

A mnrr cox.—A Cornish Smith having been ordered for
execution for a treasonable insurrection in the time of King
HENRY VII., comforted himself at the time of his execution
with the hope, that thereby his name and memory would be
everlasting !—(Speed.)

THE POPE'S TOE.—When the POPE held out his toe to be
kissed by the Earl of WILTSHIRE, the Ambassador of King
HENRY VIII., a spaniel belonging to the Earl caught the
POPE'S toe in his teeth: the Ambassador, scorning to kisc
after his dog, lost the special favour which had been proffbred
to him.—(
A CUTTING RETORT.—Archbishop TILLOTSON had by
some means incurred the displeasure of Sir JoHN TkEvort,
Speaker of the House of Commons, from which he had been
expelled for bribery. Sir Joim, one day meeting the Arch-
bishop, cried out, " I hate to see an Atheist in the shape of a
" Churchman."—" And I," replied TILLOTSON, " hate to
" see a knave in any shape."
LIBERALITY.—The venerable Bishop of Durtrusi, now
fast approaching to his hundredth year, has, with his usual
liberality, presented to the different Mechanics' Institutes within
his Diocese no less a sum than 1,009/.—(Hull Packet.)

ANECDOTE.-1110nSieUr DE LAGNY, of the Academy of
Sciences at Paris, who was a great calculator, having become
insensible in his last illness, Monsieur MaurEaTuts ap-
proached his bed, and endeavoured to rouse him by calling
loudly several times ; at last he exclaimed, " Monsieur De
Lanny, what is the square of twelve ?"—" One hundred and
forty-four," answered the other ; and in a few minutes after
expired.
THE FIRST MACIIEATIL—When WALKER, the first re.
presentative of GAY'S predatory hero, was performing the cha-
racter on the 72d night of the piece, he happened to be a
little at a loss. Ric'', the manager, observing the lapse, called
out, " IMIo, Mister, I think your memory ought to be pretty
good by this time."—" So it is," said WALKER, " but
zounds! is my memory to last for ever ?"

SUDDEN DEATH OF MIL FELL.—AIIIOII4 the
various vicissitudes of human life which we have had to record,
the sudden death of WILLIAst WALTER FELL, Esq., who
but a few days ago was elected to the lucrative situation of
Stipendiary Magistrate at Manchester, is one of the most af-
flictive. Mr. Fell had availed himself of the interim be-
tween his election and assuming the duties of his office
to arrange some business, for which the Sessions at Kirk-
dale, near Liverpool, afforded an eligible opportunity; and,
on his return from thence, on Monday afternoon, to Liverpool,
he stopped at the Crown Inn, Redeross-street. Having there
taken his place to go by the New Times coach to Preston, on
the next morning at five, he dressed and went out to meet some
friends. He returned to the inn between 11 and 12, appa-
rently in excellent health and spirits, and, after giving direc-
tions to be called soon after four in the morning, to be ready
for the coach, he retired to his bed-room. A four o'clock the
porter knocked at the room door, and receiving no answer,
again knocked in a louder manner. The knocking, however,
not being attended to, he retired to inquire whether any other
person had been placed in the same room. Finding that there
was not, he returned, opened the door, and found the unfortu-
nate gentleman lying, undressed. upon his back, upon the floor
and insensible. The porter called his master, and imme-
diately procured a surgeon, who found that the vital spark had
fled. prom the impression on the bed and pillow, it appeared
that Mr. Fell had lain in it for some time, and that, probably,
upon being seized with indisposition, he had got up to call for
assistance. A special Inquest was convened yesterday, before
the Coroner, William IVlolyneaux, F.sq., attended by Sta-
tham ; and upon the evidence of the medical gentlemen, 0 e
verdict of the Jury was, that he died in a fit of apoplexy. Mr.
Fell was in the prime of life (we believe about '46), had at-
tained considerable eminence in his profession as a barrister,
and was deservedly much esteemed by the gentlemen of the
profession,. and a large circle of friends. The poignant grief
of his amiable wife and family will be more easily lime:led
than it can be described, from the dreadful disappoinumnt
they would suffer, as they expected him at Preston on Tuesday,
for the first time after his new appointment.—(Liverpc of Cour.)
