circumstances which called for every stimulus to bravery. His
talents as a commercial clerk to Mr. MACDONALD, of .Broad.
street Buildings, and as a Teacher of the Use of the Globes,
promised him a competent income: but at the age of only 25
he died of apoplexy, which seized him when, apparently, in
full health. He left a Widow and a Son wholly unprovided
for. The former has maintained herself and sun by needle
work for nine years, but she has so weakened her eyes that she
fears that she shall lose her sight. With this sad prospect, her
son weighs the more heaVily on her. mind. Her anxious desire

may emulate his late father by an education, which she is not,
and which she fears that she never shall be able, otherwise, to
obtain for him : and if some Governor will be pleased to corn.

In the'Memoirs of THOMAS HOLLES PELHAM,
Duke of NEWCASTLE, of the reign of George 1.
and Privy Councillor of George 11. a curious
story is preserved in a note, which is thus intro-
duced and narrated:—
A laughable story was circulated during the
Duke of Newcastle's adminstration, and has
been handed down in various periodicals of the
day, which, with whatever scepticism the reader
may be disposed to regard it, is two amusing to
be passed over in silence. 1 t carries with it all
events, the appearance of probability, and we
shall therefore relate it.
At the election of a borough in Cornwall,
where the Ministerial and Opposition iuterests
were so equally poised that a single vote was of
the utmost importance, a person not expected to
give his suffrage in favour of the Aristocratical
side of the question, suddenly altered his mind,
and by his apostacy turned the tide of affairs
completely to .the satisfation of the Duke, whose
friend and dependent was elected, and the con-
test put an end to by the possessor of the casting
vote. In the warmth of gratitude for aid so
gratuitous and unexpected, the Duke poured
forth many acknowledgments and professions of
friendship in the ear of the vacilating constituent,
and frequently begged to be informed in what
manner he could serve him, and how he could
repay an obligation he was pleased to acknow-
ledge so important. The happy voter, who was
a farmer and petty landholder hi the neighbour-
hood, thanked the Duke cordially for his kind-
ness, and told him 'that ", the Supervisor of Ex,
else was old and infirm, and if he would have
the goodness to recommend his son-in-law to the
Cominiisioners in case of the• old min's deatri,
he should think himself and his family bound to
render Government every assistance in their
power on any future occasion."
66 My dear friend, why do you ask for such a
trifling employment ?" exclaimed his Grace ;
your relation shall have it at a word, speaking
the moment it is vacant." " But how shall I
get admitted to you, my Lard ? for in London I
understand it is a very difficult business to get a
sight of you great folk, though you are so kind
and complaisant to us in the country," 44 The
instant the man dies," replied the Premier, used
to, and prepared for the freedoms of a contested
election, " the moment he dies, set out post haste
for London ; drive directly to my house, by day
or night, sleeping or waking, ill or well ; thunder
at the door ; I will leave word with my porter
to shew you up stairs directly, and the employ-
ment shall be disposed of according to your
wishes without fail."
The parties separated, and it is probable the
Duke of Newcastle in a very few hours forgot
there was such a worthy as the Cornish voter in
existence. Not so with the place-anticipating
elector; his memory, cumbered with a less per-
plexing variety of objects than the Duke's turned
out to be the most retentive of the two. The
Supervisor yielded in a few months after to that
most insatiable and scrutinising of all gaugers,
death ; and the ministerial partisan, relying on
the word of the Peer, was conveyed to London
by the mail, and having ascended the steps of a
large house (now divided into three) at the
corner of the Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-
" thundeted at the doorl"
It should in this place be premised, that pre.
cisely at the moment when the expectations of a
considerable part of a borough in Cornwall were
excited by the death of a Supervisor, no less a
person than the King of Spain was expected
hourly to depart ; an event in which.all Europe,
but more especiallY.Great Britain, was materially
interested.
The` Duke 'of Newcastle, on the very night
that the proprietor of the decisive vote was at his
door, had sat up, anxiously expecting dispatches
from Madrid ; wearied, however, by official bu-
siness, he retired to rest, having previously'given
instructions to his porter not to go to bed, as he
expected every minute a messenger with advices
of the greatest importance, and desired that he
might be shown up stairs the moment of his ar-
rival. His Grace had just fallen asleep, when the
loud rap of his friend from Cotnwall Saluted his
ear, and elrectually dispelled his slumbers.
s
To the firstmtnition of 44 IS the Duke at
home ?" (it wai'lwo o'clock in the mornitig) the
porter answered,' " Yes, and in bed ; but bias
left particular orders that come when you will
you are to go up to him directly." "GO for
ever bless him, a worthy and honest gentleman,"
exclaimed the mediator for the vacant supervi-
sorship, smiling and nodding with Approbation
at a Prime Minister's so accurately keeping his
promise. 44 How punctual his Grace, is ; I knew
he would not deceive me ; let me hear no more
of Lords and Dukes not keeping their words—
I verily believe they are honest as well as other
folk." Repeating these words as he strider! up
the stairs, the burgess of Cornwall was ushered
into the Duke's bedchambr.
46 Is he dead ?" inquired his Grace, rubbing
his eyes, and scarcely awaked from dreaming or
the King of Spain, "Is he dead?" " Yes, my
Lord," replied the eager expectant, delighted to
find that the election promise Was so fresh in the
Minister's recollection. " When did he die ?"

" The day before yesterday, exactly at half-past
one o'clock, after being confined three weeks to
his bed, and taking a pow?. qf doctor's stuff ; and
•I hope your Grace will be as good as your word,
and let my son-in-law succeed him!"
The Duke, by this time perfectly awake), was
staggered at the impossibility of receiving intelli,
gence from Madrid in so short a space of time,
and perplexed at the absurdity of a King's mes-
