Driscoll—Please your Worship, I have to do for Dennis
Collins, and get his meals ready ; and my husband say
hims:,
" I pay more attention to the lodger than I do to
,
and has become so jealous that nothing will satisfy him but
making an oath before your Worship that I and Dennis
Collins have not committed adultery, which sure enough
I've not any how.
Mr. BALLANTINE—No, I don't believe you have, and
when you declare you have not he ought to believe you.
Mrs. Driscoll—lle won't believe me, your Worship, un-
less you take my oath of it, and sure that will make us
happy for life.
Mr. BALLANTINE—What is this jealous husband of
yours ? Mrs. Driscoll—A tailor by trade, your 'Worship,
and he's the father of my children. Barring that e he's very
jealous of this Dennis Collins, and I never gavhim a
liberty in my life, and that he threatens me for the same,
he's the best husband that ever lived.
Mr. BALLANTINE, after the woman had importuned him
for some time, ordered one of the officers to call on; 1
jealous tailor, and inform him that the wife had made a de
claration of her innocence before him, and that if he
ill.
used her he would most assuredly punish him. That course
might have the effect of allaying the jealousy of the bus
-.
band, but he was not very sanguine on the subject.

The Governors of Westminster Hospital have re-
ceived information from the executors of Mrs. Ann Margaret
Forster, late of Woburn-place, Bedford-square, that by her
will, bearing date the 9th of September last, she has directed
the sum of 1,0001. to be invested in the funds, the dividends
of which to be enjoyed during his life by Mr. William Forster,
and at his death the principal to pass to the Westminster
Hospital. A similar sum is directed by another clause in like
manner invested, and the dividends to be paid during life to the
same Mr. William Forster, and on his demise the principal t
be paid to the Charing-cross Hospital. The will was proved
at Doctors' Commons on the 31st of October, the benevolent
lady having died a little more than a month after making her
will. Mr. William Forster, the life annuitant, is a gentleman
of the advanced age of 70 years. By the concluding clause of
the will, the legacy duty on all the bequests is ordered to be
paid by the executors out of the general estate.
WHALE SHIPS IN THE ICE.—We regret to SaY
that as yet no intelligence has been received relative to six
vessels which sailed at the beginning of the year to the
Davis' Straits Fishery. These vessels are, the w
Swan, of
Hull ; the Dee, of Aberdeen ; the Grenville Bay, of Ne-
castle : the Norfolk, of Berwick ; the Thomas, and the
Advice, of Aberdeen.—Hull Observer.
ATALA.—" On the appearance of Atal a, I received,
a letter from Cambridge, signed G. Gordon, Lord Byron.
Lord Byron, at the age of fifteen, was a star that had not
yet risen : thousands of letters of censure or congratulation
overwhelmed me ; twenty secretaries would not have been
sufficient to keep pace with this immense correspondence ;
I was compelled therefore to throw into the fire three-
fourths of these letters, and to select only such as it was
most incumbent upon me to return thanks for, or to defend
myself against. I have some recollection, however, that I
answered Lord Byron ; but it is also possible that the note
of the Cambridge student shared the general fate.".—.Cha-
teauMand's Sketches of English Literature.

MoNs MEG.—On Saturday last a new carria
this ancient piece of ordnance, to replace the wooden one,
which had become worthless from age, arrived at the Castles
and was yesterday placed on the bomb battery, but the
Meg has not yet been placed on it. The sarriage is hand-
some and substantial (being several tons weight), and, in re..
lief, gives a brief outline of the leading points of Megs
history, as follows :—" Believed to have been forged as
Mons, A.D. 1486." " At the siege of Norham Castle,
A.D. 1497." " Sent to the Tower of London, D.
1754." " Restored. to Scotland by his Majesty Georr
IV., A.D. 1829." It also bears the name of Sir 8.. 11;
Vivian, Bart., Master-General of Ordnance.—Edinburgh
Courant.
" THE MERCHANT'S DAUGHTER.”—The Dew
novel, under the above title, by the popular author of " The
Heiress" and " Agnes Serie," will still further increase the
reputation of this pleasing writer. The style and tone of
her works will recal the memory to the beautiful produc-
tions of Miss Austen. Our contemporary, the Literary
Gazette, in bestowing its tribute of approbation upon " The
Merchant's Daughter," observes, that it is a gracefully-told
and interesting story, with peculiar sweetness in the delinetr
tion of the female character. It will be a favourite with all
novel-readers, and the author will now take rank among,
the most popular writers in this fascinating department °I
literature.
THE PRINCE OF CANINO'S MEMOIRS: Theftrst
volume of these memoirs, which have just appeared, is e°:
pious in interesting information relative to the politics
'
struggles in France. The convulsions which have distur
gbed
that country the Prince traces to the right source, and iv
is
es
a vivid description of their formidable results. This work
a valuable addition to the page of history.
Mauro Michaelis, the brave Chief of the MillOteSt
who accompanied King Otho to Bavaria, died a
few days
ago at Munich, of the cholera, after an illness of 48 helve
only. His last agonies were frightful ; his iron frame re'
sisted the attacks of the disease, and maintained a powerful
conflict with death. The cries of the Minote were like the
roarings of a lion expiring from the venom of a poisoned ar-
row. In him the King of Greece has lost the bravest of
his officers.
Recruits are so scarce, that sergeants now give a
bonus of ss. to any person bringing an eligible.—Lintcrick
Chronicle.
Many doubts and scruples were entertained as to
whether or no ladies should be allowed to enter the gallel
during the sittings of the Cortes. Gallantry, however, de"
cided in the affirmative, and the ladies will be permitted to
be present. We congratulate the fair sex on this decisiot r
?,
as there needs must be a few Deputies upon whom them
presence will not be lost, but upon whom, on the control'
it will act as a magnetic fluid, and will animate and refine,
their patriotic inspirations.—El Guardia Nacionel
Madrid.
The following extraordinary facts have occurred off"
lative to the late melancholy shipwreck of the Clarendon°
the Isle of Wight. The body of Miss Gourley, one of that
passengers drowned on that occasion, was on shore last
week, at Southsea, very near the residence of her father, t
which she was returning ; and the body of the infsLiof
daughter of Lieut. Shore was found among the rigging
the ship, by a person at Cowes who had purchased it.
MYSTERIOUS I—lt is but justice to the roder
before he peruses the following mysterious announce oxen
to say that it is from a correspondent who has not chesere
to favour us with his name :—" Perhaps you are not snit
that there took place in this city, ten days ago, a midel,g,
meeting of the leading Tories from all parts of the 11;

parties came on foot by ones and twos, without carriage!

present. Among others, the Marquis of Douro, IJ%
