ANECDOTE 01' THE KING.--A poor man named
Grant, living on the estates of the Hon. W.
Manic., in the neighbourhood of Montrose, and
108 years old, presented a Memorial to the King
through Sir B. Bloomfield lately, in which he
stated his extreme distress and old age to his
Majesty. Amongst other arguments for Royal
bounty' he informed his Majesty,- that if lie was
not the oldest of his Majesty's loyal subjects, he
was at all events the oldest of his Majesty's ene-
mies, for that he was present in 1746 at the
battle of Culloden Muir, in which he had taken
the side of 'Charles Stuart. His Majesty,
,with
that distinguished benevolence which has always
marked his, private character, has ordered one
pound a-week to be paid to the old man during
his life, and the same sum to be continued to his
daughter, who now takes charge of him, and is
upwards of 70 years of age, should she survive
her father.

A superb cloak of the Highland costume is at
present preparing in Edinburgh, for the King of
l'EasiA, by direct orders from that Monarch.
Lord KINTORE, before leaving Drumtochty,
where he has resided for some months past, gave
orders that an ox should be killed, and a dinner
provided at his expellee for them all on New
Year's Day. Accordingly, on that day the whole
tenantry of the lands of G knfarquhar, with several
of their friends and acquaintance, to the number
in all of a hundred and ten persons, sat down to
an excellent dinner, prepared by the inn-
keeper at Auchinblae. What remained at
the great feast, made many a little feast
,to
the poor of the neighbourhood, and the farmers
and fcuars, with their wives and daughters, con-
cluded the day's entertainment with a ball,
which was opened by a venerable couple, resi-
denters in Auchinblae, whose united ages amount
to 170 years.

ROBBERY.—NIr. Brook, of Paternoster-row, gave infor-
mation yesterday at the public office in Ilatton-gardeh, that
between five and six o'clock the preceding evening, during the
time he had gone to dinner, some ruffian had unperceived en-
tered his library, at his house in Finchley, and stole two
valuable violins in a case, also a microscope M a ease, and other
articles which he described. He stated, that the door of the
library which adjoined the house opened into the garden, -and
was usually left open all day, but by what means the thief ef-
fected an entrance he was unable to discover.
On Monday evening, two ladies walking up Piccadilly were
accosted by a respectably dressed person, who politely inquired-
for Bond-street; at the salve time to placing himself as to block
up the pavement. Another man, equally *ell dressed, then step-
ped up, and by making several designedly awkward move-
ments, created a temporary confusion, in which one of the
ladies had a gold chain, with three seals appended to )4, cut
from her neck. Two persons of a similar description, prac-
tised suceesstitlly the same trick near Albemarle-street, later
on that evening, on two other ladies, one of whom lost her
reticule.

Sunday night, during the absence of the family, the house of
Mr. Rust, No. 8, Globe-road, Mile-end, was hurglariously en-
tered by means of false keys, and plundered of almost every arti-
cle of furniture, viz. eight mahogany chairs, table, bed and bed-
ding, a large pier glass, &c. The burglars forced open a secre-
taire, from which they stole, amongst other valuable articles, a
costly locket, brilliantly set m pearls. The robbers in withave been
provided with a cart, or other conveyance, to have removed their
bulky plunder. Information has been given of the robbery at
the different Police offices,
Oa Tuesday evening a carter, while adjusting some of the
trappings of his horses, in Fleet-street, was accidentally thrown
down and trampled under their feet. hie scrambled from under
the cart, and succeeded in getting up, but instantly fell again,
and on being taken into a surgeon's, it was found that one o his
legs was dreadfully lacerated.

A few minutes before eight o'clock on Sunday
night a very luu►inous meteoric exhalation, or
falling star, was observable in the West. Its
course declined towards the horizon in a S. S.
Easterly direction, with a brilliant' train. It ap-
peared, when its motion commenced, to emanate
from a fixed star, and was visible t,) the naked
eye full half a minute.—(Brighton Chronicle.)

QUESTION.
What is the greatekt blessing on earth ?

ANSWER.-
Peace, health, And strength, food, raiment, and content ;
A heart well-Managed, and a life well-spent;
A soul devoted, and a thirst for God ;
Courting his smile—but patient of his rod :
Each day more fit to breathe its latest breath,
And then the most alive, when nearest Death !
