The following correspondence, extracted from
the Solopian Joni-nal of Wednesday last, will
spew that this Gentleman is acting as beneficent
a part in the realities of private life, as he did a
distinguished one some years ago amongst the
brilliant mimicries of the stage :
__ _

TO WM. HENRY WEST BETTY, Ese.
Rectory, Wcm, 18th Nov. 1822.
DEAR. SlR—The Committee appointed for the Distribution
of Funds, arising from Amateur Plays on the the 29th and
30th ult. beg "to offer their warmest acknowledgment for your
generous and humane exertions, which have been so manifest
during your stay in Wem ; yet the gratitude they are bound to
shesi will be considered trifling, when compared with the feel-
ings of the Poor and Needy, on whose behalf you, the sole pro.
rooter of their relief, stepped forward and roused the benevo-
lence of this town and neighbourhood.—The Committee are
induced to apprize you, that one half the proceeds has been con-
veyed over to the National Schools, whereby a considerable
debt is licruidated, the other half distributed to the deserving
poor, whose prayers for your prosperity ought to be unceasing.
The consolation experienced by a mind capable not only of pro-
jecting but of accomplishing for other's good, is far more grate-
ful than eulogy can bestow.—ln concluding, the Committee
hail with high satisfaction you return once more as an occasional
resident, and that as few vicissitudes to which man can be
subject may accompany your journey through life, is the ar-
dent and most anxious wish; Dear Sir, of your obliged and
humble Servant,
EDWARD TUCKER STEWARD,
Chairman of the Committee.

To the Rev. E. T. STEWARD,' Rector. Chairman, and the

Committee, formed for relief of the Poor.
GENTLEMEN—You will readily admit, I should hope, that
on the receipt of your very handsome communication, I was not
aware that any exertions of mine merited the special mark of
approbation which it conveys ; but, allow 'me, fostered almost
as I may say amongst you, to say, it would ill become me, after
an absence of seven years, not to attempt at least, some acknow-
ledgment of kindnesses, and I most certainly feel every plea-
sure in Ending my humble efforts have not failed in their pur-
pose.—The genuine hospitality of friends, and kind attentions
of the inhabitants, demand more than thanks, and whilst I re-
tain a heart, or hold one human sense within my bosom, gra-
titude must be one ; and bless you fbr the friendship shewn me.
That Wem may continue. to vie with its neighbouring towns
in prosperity:and opulence is a desire I have always cherished.
And believe me, Gentlemen, with every sentiment of gratitude,
youz.-very_humble and obedient servant,
WM. HY. WEST BETTY.
Tally-Ho Cottage, Wem, Nov. 19, 1822.

[The following whimsical Lines are extracted from a recent
Work, entitled Outlines of Edinburgh, and other Poems,"
by W. ANDERSON.]
When looking-for lodgings a stranger will see
Some customs a6struse to a Southron like me.
I saw " Lodgings" put up ; and began to explore
A dirty stone staircase; and came to a door,
With a name, and a bell, and a scraper complete,
(Like the doors which, in England, we have in the street.)
I rung—and was told there were lodgings next door ;
So I turn'd; and went down the stone staircase once more ;
And I search'd the next house for these lodgings of theirs ;
But discovered at length that next door meant up stairs ;
And, on the next story, I speedily came
To another street-door, with bell, scraper, and name ;
And if you go up eight or nine stories more,
Each has scraper,, and bell, and a perfect street-door.

This custom at first could not fail to create a
Great marvel in me, for they all live in strata !
One over another, from bottom to top,
And beginning below with a stratum of shop !
And the mixture is such, that we often may see an
Undoubted pure stratum 'twixt strata plebeian :
You may call on a friend of some ton, and discover him
With a shoemaker under and a staymaker over him !

My dwelling begin: with a perriwig-maker ;
I'm under a corn-cutter, over a baker ;
Above the chiropodist, cookery too ;
O'er that is a laundress ; o'er her is a Jew :
A painter and tailor divide the eighth flat,
And a dancing academy thrives over that :
We'll leave higher eil-eles unnam'd :—T'other night,
My landlady enter'd my room in a fright,
And cried half in tears, with a face full of woe,
";Your lumn's in a low, Sir, your lumn's in a low."
I laugh'd in her face ; for her hasty oration,
To me, had convey'd very small information :
Indignant she bawl'd, when she saw that I laugh'd,
" You're foolish—your lumn's in a low—the man's daft!"
" The baker ! the oven !"—I now comprehended,
And join'd in the cry, ere the uproar was ended,—
" The baker ! the oven ! oh, oh ! is it so ?
" My chimney's on fire ! my lumn's in a low !"

UNFORTUNATE CASE.—A. zealous Priest in the
north of Ireland missed a constant auditor from
his congregation, in which schism had made de-
predations. " What keeps our friend, farmer
B--, away from us ?" was the anxious ques-
tion proposed by our vigilant Minister to his as-
sistant. " I have not seen him among us," con-
tinued he, " these three weeks; I hope it is not
Protestanism that keeps him away." " No," was
the reply, "it is , worse than that." " Worse
than Protestanism ? GOD forbid it should be
Deism." " No, worse than that." " Worse than
Deism! good. heavens, I trust it is not Atheism."
" No, worse than Atheism." " Imposible, no-
thing can be worse than Atheism !" " Yes, it is,
your honour—lt is Rheumatism.
QUICK, the Comedian, one day passing through
Broker-row, Moorfields, was seized upon by a
barker of a furniture warehouse, who, without
ceremony, pulled him into the shop, and began
puffing off his tables and chairs. Quicx made
little resistance, but asked the man if he was
master of the shop—" No, Sir," said the barker,
" but I will fetch him immediately." The man
returned with his master, to whom he put the
same question—" Are you master of the shop,
Sir ?" " Yes, Sir, what can I do for you ?
" Only," replied QUICK, " just hold your man
a minute, while Igo out!"
A CAUTION TO RESURRECTION MEN.—On Sun-
day, the 17th inst. a poor woman, of the name of West-
more, and her son, who had both lied within a few hours
of each other, were buried in Peverale churchyard, near
Ealing, Middlesex ; and a suspicion arose from persons
present that an attempt would be made to steal the bodies.
In consequence, two men watched in the night with fire-arms,
and about one o'clock three men were obserVed to proceed to
open the graves, when one of the men on watch fired off with
three slugs, and one was seen to fall, whom the other two con-
veyed to a coach, and made off, without being pursued by the
watchmen. They remain unknown, and though disappointed
of the bodies in the grave, they might not disappoint the sur-
geons in a subject of their own wretched crew.
