u'ar Friend—On Friday, July 13, 1832, while at my
a k (labou six o'clock in the afternoon, I was se:zed with
te''°'ent and unusual head-ache, sickness at the stomach,
Mness in the legs, and if it appeared as if my senses
there going from me. Supposing it to be an attack of
tolicomplaint that is going about, I did not know what
°O. At first I thought of going to Mr. Vernon to get
lopening powder, but it was as if some one, at that
Itant, told me to go to Mr. Haydon. I got out of
11'1 loom, and put on my coat and shoes as quick as possi-
l'i and came to your house, still finding myself getting
+torte and worse. A dreadful gloom came over my
teind as you were talking to me, and I hardly knew what
:4 'aid to me; you will recollect how eagerly I swal-
i:ed the ten pills, all at once, as soon as you put them
ity
hand. After I had taken the fulls, I felt my
itsit4a revive a little. I recollect that you said something
t:at hot water in a bottle; and I remember how you
Pke4,14,, ray hand, and prayed that God would bless the
‘q-.; had made use of for my recovery. I got home
Ptciti."' as I could and sat myself down in a chair, ap-
tlie:g quite exhausted ; I spoke to my two boys, desiring
let ato leave off playing, telling them that they had
O4l,ll:',eit mother, and I did not know how soon they
ht'tis I'4'3 their father. By this time the pain in my head
tate"tirelY gone. As I sat in my chair a sort of dimness
1110 aerr'sa my eyes—all pain had entirely left me, and I
-leautht the way that I then felt myself to be in, was the
j4tY that persons feel when they are departing out of time
e,terLnitY. But while sitting in this posture, I felt the
tioo.'l.-,"gin to operate, and I had a very powerful rao•
and yt came from me like hard substances, but very easy,

arid 'even hours bad elapsed since I was first taken bad,
alone in my room, my motherless children fast

FASHIONABLE CONVERSATION.

(From Bulwer's England and the English.)
Among the characteristics of English society,
there is one, my dear —, which cannot but have
seemed to you as worthy of notice, and that is
" the curious felicity" which distinguishes the tone
of conversation. In most countries, people of the
higher stations, if they do not express their ideas
with all the accuracy and formality of a treatise on
logic, preserve, at least, with a certain degree of
jealousy, the habit of a clear and easy elegance in
conversation. In France, to talk the language well
is still the indispensable accomplishment of a gen-
tleman. Society preserves the happy diction, and
the graceful phrase, which literature has stamped
with its authority : And the Court may be consi-
dered as the Master of the Ceremonies to the
Muses.* But in England, people in the best and
most fastidious society are not remarkable for cul-
tivating the more pure or brilliant order of conver-
sation as the evidence of ton, and the attribute of
rank. They reject, it is true, certain vulgarities
of accent, provincial phrases, and glaring violations
of grammar; nay, over certain words, they now and
then exercise the caprices of fashion ; James to-
day, may be Jeemes to-morrow ; Rome may be
softened into Room; and cucumber may receive its
final exactness of pronunciation from the proso-
diacal fiat of my Lord Hertford. But these are
trifles : the regular and polished smoothness of
conversation, the unpedantic and transparent pre-
ciseness of meaning, the happy choice, unpremedi-
tated, because habitual, of the most graceful
phrases and polished idioms which the language
affords—these, the natural care and province of a
lettered court, are utterly unheeded by the circles
of the English aristocracy. Nor is there any other
circle, since literary men with us are so little gre-
garious, that repairs their inattention ; and our ra-
tional conversation is for the most part carried on
in a series of the most extraordinary and rugged
abbreviations—a species of talking shorthand. He-
sitating, humming, and drawling are the three
graces of our conversation.
We are at dinner :—a gentlemen, " a man about
town," is informing us of a misfortune that has be-
fallen his friend : " No—l assure you—now err—
err—that—er—it was the most shocking accident
possible—er—poor Chester was riding in the Park
—er—you know that grey—er--(substantive dropp-
ed, hand a little flourished instead)—of his—splen-
did creature !—er—well sir, and by Jove—er—the
—er—(uo substantive, flourish again)—took fright,
and—e—err"—here the gentleman throws up his
chin and eyes, sinks bark exhausted into his chair,
and after a pause adds, " Well, they took him into
—the shop—there—you know—with the mahogany
sashes—just by the Park—er—and the—er—man
there—set his—what d'ye call it—er—collar-bone;
but he was—er—ter-ri-bly—terribly"—a full stop.
The gentleman shakes his head,—and the sentence
is suspended to eternity.
Another gentleman takes up the wondrous tale
thus logically : " Ah! shocking, shocking !—but
poor Chester was a very agreeable—er"—full stop !
" Oh! devilish gentlemanlike fellow !—quite
shocking!—quite—did you go into the—er—
to-day ?"
" No, indeed ; the day was so 1111-may I take
some wine with you ?"
The ladies usually resort to some pet phrases,
that, after the fashion of shorthand, express as
much as possible in a word : " What do you think
of Lady —'s last novel ?"
"Oh I they say 'tis not very natural. The cha-
racters, to be sue, are a little overdrawn; and then
the style—so—so—l don't know what—you unde-
stand me—but its a dear book altogether !—Do
you know Lady ?"
" Oh dear yes ! nice creature she is."
" Very nice person indeed."
What a dear little horse that is of poor Lord

" He is very vicious."
" Is he really ? nice little thing."
" Ali ! you must not abuse poor Mrs. -- ;—to
be sure, she is very ill-natured, and they say she's
to stingy—but then she really is such a dear—"
Rice and dear are the great To Prepon and To
Kalon of feminine conversational moralities.

Bur, perhaps, the genius of our conversation is
most shown in the art of explaining—
" Were you in the House last night ?"
" Yes—er—Sir Robert Peel made a splendid
speech!"
" Ah ! and how did he justify his vote? I've not
seen the papers."
" Oh, I can tell you exactly—ehem--he said,
you see, that be disliked the ministers, and so
forth ! you undersiand—but that—er—in these
times, and so forth—and with this river of blood—
oh ! he was very fine there I—you must read it
—well, sir; and then he was very good against
O'Connell, capital—and all this agitation going on
—and murder, and so forth—and then, sir, ire told
a capital story, about a man and his wife being
murdered, and putting a child in the fireplace—you
see—l forget now, but it was capital ; and then he
wound up with--a—with—a—in his usual way, in
short, Oh ! he quite justified himself—you under-
stand—in short, you see, he could not do other-

wise."

Caricatured as this may seem to others, I need
not assure you that it is to the life; the explainer,
too, is reckoned a very sensible man ; and the
listener saw nothing inconclusive in the elucidation.

• Nay, to catch the expressions of the Court is, in France,
to acquire elegance of style.

Mrs. Hannah More died on Saturday, at her
tesidence in Windsor-terrace, Clifton, in the tiOth year of
her age, after a painful and protracted illness. Few per-
sons have enjoyed a higher degree of public esteem and
veneration than this excellent and distinguished lady.
Early in life she attracted general notice by a brilliant dis-
play of literary talent, and was honoured with the inti.
mate acquaintance of Johnson and Burke, of Reynolds
and Garrick, and of many other highly eminent indivi-
duals, who equally appreciated her amiable qualities and
her superior intellect. Mrs. More's publications are suffi-
ciently known to the literal') world not to require to be
detailed here; they were principally devoted to the ad-
vancement of morality and virtue.

We under,tand the Width), and Pickering railway is to

A surgeon has been apprehended in Glas-
gow, on a charge of stealing thugs from an apothecary hall
in town, and also with having attempted to seduce an ap-
prentice in the hall into acts of pilfering for his benefit.
HEAD AND FOOT.—" What heading shall
I put to this account of a man cutting off his toe with an
axe?" asked a young paragraph paster of his superior in
certain newspaper-office ? " What heading, Sir ? Why,
Melancholy al e-ident,' to be sure."
Messrs. Campbell, Graham, and Cunning-
ham, three of the 11,yal Burgh Commissioners, arrived

Too 13AD.—" Nimrod," in an article in the
New Sporting Magazine, gives the following extract
from his diary :—" Friday, Dec. 30, 1803 met Mr.

Scripsisse pudet indeed ! We hope the police-officers
will be on the look out, and bring the murderer to justice.
Alas ! poor Warde ! Town.
