On Saturday, a colossal statue of his MAJESTY,
between six end seven feet high, was cast in real bronze at the
foundry of Mr. Tx oiiasotes manufaCtory. We understand
it is the first statue. that has been executed out of the capital of
any empire ; and it is considered a most perfect and beautiful
casting.

The fact of two brothers attaining Peerages
through the avenue of legal eitilnence,. is in itself remarkable t
but there are other circumstances in the SCOTT family which
are extremely peculiar : Lord STOWELL, who is about ten
years older.than his brother, is a twin with a. sieter, who, we
believe,. still survives. The LOAD CILANCELP", who is the
issue of a second marriage, and cOnsequently only half-brother
to LorriSr owE Li., is also twin with a sister, deceased.—
During the time Lord Et,po was Chief-Justice of the Com-
mon Pir
lea!, thetwo brothers eat upon the same Bench as Judges
one Admiralty Sessions—an incident which it would alsr) be
ditlicult to parallel. . -
Ashby-de-la-Zouch Ivanhoe Baths were visited
by Sir FRACIS DVADETT, Batt, a few days ago. The
worthy Baronet is residing at his seat, at Formark, near' the
said town.
The happy deliverance of the "just, honour-
able, and merciful TEEDINAND," thus designated in the Lis-
bon Papers, ;fibula an additional proof that praise unde-
served is satire in disgui:: !"

We are desired to state that the report which
appeared in our Paper of yesterday, and in others
of this day, respecting the intended Marriage of
Miss Bnowlv, is totally void of foundation.
Mrs. Yor.ING, formerly Miss Moos, who some
years ago obtained considerable reputation as an
actress in Drury-lane • Theatre, and after her
Marriage retired from 'the stage, is now, by the
untoward vicissitudes of life, obliged to resort
to the profession which, in'rnore prosperous cir-
cumstances, she had relinquithed. If she is not
fitted for the higher walks of the Drama, in tra-
gedy or comedy; she is Well qualified, from all we
have heard, by her talents, figure, and manners,
to be a more respectable representative of secon-
dary characters, in both departments, than most
of the actresses now on the London Stage. .
KEAN has, during his late visit to this king-
dom; drawn houses in,Cork, Waterford, Newry,
Armagh, Londonderry, arid Belfast, to the enor-
mous amount of 4,0001. and upwards Dublin
journat.)
Miss 'STEPHENS IS. engaged: .to perform at the
Sheffield Concerts in November, and Maciarne
CATALANI inlannary. A noble Music Hall has
just been erected there, at an expense of about
4,0001.
CHARLES MATHEWS finished a most successful
career in the Dublin Theatre on Saturday last.
He gave his variety of entertainments alternately:'
The house was en every evening a bumper.
ItEPORTERS.—When the tax on Newspapers,
proposed by Mr. PITT, was under discussion,
Mr. DRAKE declared he would oppose it from
motives of gratitude; for the Reporters had been
particularly kind to him, having made him de-
liver many well-shaken speeches, though he felt
convinced he never could speak so well in his
life.
HUMANE ANSWER.—BOVDON, an eminent sur-
geon, being sent for by Cardinal Dunots, then
Prime Minister of France, to perform a serious
operation, the Cardinal no sooner saw him enter
than he exclaimed, " Mind that you do not treat
me in the rough way you treat the miserable
wretches at the hospital."—My Lord, replied
13ou " every one of those miserable wretches,
1s your Eminence is pleased to call them, is a
1oor:
Prime Minister in my eyes.”
