LIDERA LIT Y.
We believe the following anecdote of a Noble Earl, in.
timatelY connected with this county, to be true :—A Judge
highly respected, had become involved to the amount of 10,70 a
and his brethren of the long robe, front their high sense of his
merits, determined to raise a subscription in his favour. A de.
potation waited on Lord E--, to request he would place his
-name at the head of the list, which be declined to do, saying,
he never wished to take the lead in these things, but they might
bring the list to him afterwards. This was considered as tanta.
mount to A refusal. However, the subscriptions amounted in a
short time to 6,5001, when they again laid the list before his
Lordship, who immediately wrote a cheque for the remainder
of the suns, viz. 4,200/.

Another instance tf noble generosity in the sante distin,
guishal known as a literary
character, was obliged, through pecuniary difficulties, to
sell his excellent library. The Noble Earl knowing the worth
of the man, and the pangs he would surer in parting with his
books, actually purchased the whole in one, lot, and presented
them immediately afterwards to their further owner !—.(Dur.

'The original marble bust of Dr. JIUT'roN, sub.
scribed for and lately presented to hire, was bequeatlxl by the
Doctor, previously to his death, to the Literary and Philoso:
*cal Society of Newcastle, as a testimony of his rigor(' for

An Irish pig.unerchant, who'had more money
in his pocket than his ragged appearance de-
noted, took an inside passage in one of our stage
coaches, during the late severe frost. A dandy of
the first order, who was a fellow passenger, was
evidently annoyed by the presence of Pat ; and,
having missed h►s handkerchief, taxed him with
having picked his pocket, and threatened to
have him taken before a Magistrate at the next
stage. Before they arrived there, however, the
Exquisite found his handkerchief, which he bad
deposited in his hat. He made a very.awkliard
kind of apology upon the occasion; but Pat
stopped him short, with this remark Maki►
yourself easy, any honey; there's no occasion for
any bother about the matter. You took me for
a thief, and 1 took you for a gentleman ; and we
are both mistaken ; antis all, my honey !"
