TO THE ADVERTISER EXTRAORDINARY ! ! •

Loan Hall, Dec. 26.

SIR-My husband having gone from home to-day before we
saw your Advertigement, I writs to you by return of post, as
Christmas is fast passing, to beg you will procure our becoming
Subscribers for Guests to enliven us in this lonely retirement,

which my husband Mr. B. purchased out of his profits in the late ,
war. We are determined no longer to lie quizzed by our neigh-
bours at being Hall alone during this season of gaiety elsewhere;
so beg to be furnished with a supply of friends of the first-rate
quality that can be procured in the London market. Mr. B.
having been well known on 'Change, we want none of that sort
of goods, and as he was once or twice in a scrape with some
Generals about contracts, we wish none of that commodity
either—but for my own part, I should not dislike a good-
looking Colonel, or a foreign Count or so, that would accom-
pany me in my Hopera airs or my morning airings. If you can,
do pray procure a good assortment of sons of Lords (what they
' call Ears Apparent, I think), as I want some to fancy my four
daughters, and if there is any difficulty in making up the two
dozen by New Year's Day, you may mix a few Members of
Parliament among them, as we must have a party of thirty to cut
out Lady W. our neighbour, who kept the Lottery Office next
door to us in the City, and is to have twenty-six, at Prize Villa.
A handsome premium will be paid, according to the qtiality of
the ,wares we receive ; for my husband (though after much
practice to the contrary) now resolves to try, for an experiment,
if honesty is the best policy, and will, I am sure, pay liberally.
lie prefers Irish Pears to Scotch Pears—so does I—so do we
all—so does every body,—my girls like young better than
old—so does I, if they are civil, and don't laugh at Mr. B. and
me, as the young Lord did to my face at the Lord Maroc-'s
Dinner. Pray mark off' all ',ewers in. your catalogue as
bores. We do not want Dowagers or Old Maids, as we can
be supplied with them gratis. There is good shooting for
the Gentlemen, but I won't promise about that, as M. B. has
some highdea of keeping it for a certain Duke, who he has
been in treaty for, but his terms are so extravagant, that he
will not invite him, I think, till it is to meet the Lord that I
hopes to marry a daughter to.
If you sarve we well, I will pay double out of my pin-money,
and shall be a good customer.

BONNY BUXSOME.

* Vide THE Suw of Thursday last. We deem it proper to
notice, that we have derived these whimsical articles from THE
MORN I G POST, a paper distinguished for political rectitude,
and the amusing variety of its general contents

THE PARKS.
The continued severity of the frost rendered
the ice sufficiently strong on the Serpentine River to bear the
vast number of people who ventured upon it yesterday. From one
end to the other skaiters exhibited from an early hour in the day
till the shades of night set in, without any accident happening.
About two o'clock many grouper of Ladies ventured to cross.
and where the best performers appeared the spectators formed
a ring two or three deep. Here we observed Mr. LONGLANDS,
the best skaiter who has appeared this season. Along the
northern bank of the River was a long line of carriages ; and
on the south the promenade from Rotten-row was filled with an
incalculable number of gaily dressed belles, clad in rich silk,
velvet, or cloth pelisses, the uniform colour was the Royal
blue. Muffs, tippets, and trimmings of sable, squirrel, or
leopard skins, formed an agreeable contrast to the other parts
lof the dress. The watermen from the Thames had begun to
erect their stalls, with their sign-boards &c. ; piemen with their
' stands flying cars with gin and gingerbread. Towards the close
of the day a boy fell in near the water-fall, but he was quickly
extricated.—The canal in St. James's Park was crowded by
thousands to a late boor; and the basin in the Green Park was
also nearly covered with skaiters and sliders.

The Duke of Sussex still continues a visitor with Sir George
Buggen, at Bognor. 'His Royal Highness makes frequent ex-
cursions to Chichester.
On Thursday last Miss Parr, of Petersfield, gave a dinner
to 50 poor children, of roast beef and plum pudding.
The beautiful Miss Broadhead, eldest daughter of the late
T. H. Broadhead, Esq. will shortly give her hand at the altar
to Mr. Dashwood, eldest son of Sir JOhn -..Dashwood King,
Bart. of West Wycombe.
BIRTIS OF' A SON AND HEM OF T. Wi COKE, ESQ. M.P.
—The Norwich Mercury of Saturday which announces this
event, says :—" The event of Lady Anne Coke's safe accouche-
ment, and the birth of a son and heir to the house of Holkham,
was announced by a salute of 21 guns,. from Mr. Bloom's
battery. Nor is this town singular in the joy with which they
received the news of an incident so interesting' to all the friends
of our worthy County Member. And who is there, either in
the list of Patriots, Country Gentlemen, Landlords, or general
Benefactors of their fellow-creatures, that is the centre of so
wide a circle as Mr. Coke ? We speak only the truth, when we
say, that no circumstance in which men have not a positive and
personal interest, has given more universal satisfaction than
the fulfilment of the wishes of this excellent Gentleman and his
family."
The extensive repairs and alterations in St. Michael's
Church, near Winchester, are nnsrly completed; and appear
well calculated to effect the object for which they were designed
—increased accommodation for the Parishioners. The Eastern
window is composed of stained glass, neatly designed and exe-
cuted by Mr. Edwards, of Winchester, the expense of which
is defrayed by a voluntary contribution; it being intended as a
mark of respect to the venerable Rector (the Rev. G. Coxe),
whose arms are emblazoned on one side, and those of the Bishop
of Winchester on the other, with a glory in the centre.

Colonel O'Brien, the Aid-de-Camp of General
SAN MARTIN, lately from Peru, presented this morning to
our Museum, one of the pieces of silver which was given to the
Indian Casiques and inhabitants of Lima, on the declaration of
Independence of that country. On one side is the figure of the
sun, in all' its rays, incircled with the words—Lama libra Juro
su Independencia, en 28th de Julio, 1821. On the other side
(between two olive branches)—Bajo la proteccion del Egercito
Libertatm del Peru mandada por San Martin.—(Glasgow
Chronicle, Dec. 26.)
