nary splendour. The king of Prussia has already
ordered six Statelcoaches, each to bedrawn by eight

The following curious Anecdbte .has given rise
to much pleasantry and amusement in the fashionable
circles of Paris: Three young LadieS, nearly of the
same age, and brought up from their infancy in a
boarding school at Paris, had coutraEtedso strong
an affeaion for each other, that they formed the
resolutiOn of remaining: together for their lives.
A very painful idea, however, embittered this
happy prospea, and that idea was marriage, which,
should their parents insist- upon, their conti*twould
inevitably prevent the eternal union they so,ardently
sighed for. The youngest suggested a remedy, and
proposed, that as Polygamy was prohibited in France,
they should write to the, GRAND SlGNlOR,rtques-
tirg him to take them all three as his wives.- A let-
-ter to that effeft was accordingly written,'and signed
by the, trio ; but being put 'into the post with
the address aTo the Grand Turk- at Constanti-
,
nolle," it excited suspicion;. ,rtno was carried to
the 'Minister, who-opened and read it, to his great
diverSion'and that of
-his friends. The anecdote has
been productive of many witty epigraiins and hu-
mourcus remarks in Paris, and has been made the
subjeEtof a, petite Piece, whicli is adually preparing
for the Theatre Lotiwis.

On Friday last, to celebrate the Peace, at Ely,
a bullock, weigl6g•nearly 6o :Itone, was roasted in
the IVlirket-place, and afterwaids distributed at the
Shire-OAI, with zOOO penny loaves, to 'a vett"-
arateful.multitudeof surrounding speaators.
At Derby an uncommon pLcuotnenon appeared in
the air a few mornings ago ; it cansisted of four
circles, and part of another,' in the ibllowing order :
The smallest, which was neatest to thAun, might
he 15 di.tg. diameter, withluminous spots to • the
right and left; like what are called mock-suns ;
the second encompassed the former, and .was twice
as large ; the third the size of the second, and
joined its circumference to the West ; anj the
"'fourth cireumscribcd'. all the others, and was touch-
ed upon the Western side by part of another of the
same .diameter.

Last week, two men employed in a sandpit be-
longing to, Mt. Foster, of Bossall, discovered a
coMplete human skeleton, which 'appeared to have
been arown ,in the earth in a. curved state, the
spinal-bone being bent t.lwartis the knee. The
teeth in the jaw-bone were jerfettt, and the skele.
ton was not more than three feet below the surEice.

On Tuesday morning, six men
,belonging to the
Royal:WaggOn:frain, wi;11 carts and hres, were
employed: in'conveying stone fromWhite-Dyke to
Ram!:gatc,,, which is situated a mik off shore, from,
Broat-hrairs, and at low water forms an island ; bat
waitiog too long, aild -the tide coming in so rapid
as to prorent their return, their imminent danger
was 'perceived by tiie Brcadstairs boatmen, who
put or to their:assistance; notwithstanding their
humane exertions, Qne'man and several hooves were
drowned.

Mr. ADAM addressed the Court on behalf of the
Defendant in a sp-ech of considerable impression
and. feeling.--He observed, it was a circuinstance
particularly unfortunate for the. Defendant, that the
elevation of the Noble Lord (ELL ENnoßoucn)
should have deprived him of so distinguished and
able an Advocate : but, on the other hand, it was a
source of consolation, that the very high character
the Defendant had received from the respedible
persons, whose Affidavits had been read, rendered
it infinitely less difficult for a Counsel to recur to
topiesof, mitigation.—He was aware, that, as the
Jnry'had thought proper, upon the doubtful prbof
by comparison of hand-writing, to find a verdict
contrary to the uniform tenor of the Defendant's
life and,condua, • the Court, however they might
-think +,,,tice had not been .done, were bound to
pronounce such judgment as the circumstances of
the Case appeared to render necessary.—The
Learned Counsel then entered into a general re-
view of the Life of Mr. CATO R from his youth,
when he left .this Country, till his 'acquisition of
an independent fortune by his profession as a Mer-
chant, and his exertions in the service of the East
India Company, and from that period, till his sub..
sequent settlement at Beckingham with'his family;
_where his universal good condua, conciliatory be.
haviour, and urbanity of manners, had gained him,
not only the esteem of the honourable persons Who
had come forward to bear testimony in his favour,
but of a numerous circle of acquaintance, among
whom he had the pleasure of enumerating the
Learned and highly Honoured Nobleman, who had
-so many years presided in the Court. of Chnncary
he meant the 'present Lord Thurlow.—He then
took-- occasion to advert to the, Parochial Di-
' visions which had agitated the' inhabitants of
Beckingham, observing that the Defendant, what-
ever his brother Mr. John Cator might have done,
had studiously avoided entering into any of them.
'With regard, -therefore, to the libel, he could Inive
been aeluated by no possible motive in writing it ;
but even supposing he !lad imprudently been led to
become the author of the letters, their tenor and
tendency were of so ludicrous and ridiculous a na-
ture, that they were not calculated to 'excite any
other sentiment than that of astonishMent, that a
Gentleman like the Defendaint should
.have thought
it worth his while to have entertained himself with
such trifling produaions. That the Defendant had
no malicious intention -was amply proved by his.
not having published the letters to-the world, but
sent them sealed to the -parties, who, had they
aged wisely, would- have committed them to the,
. flames. Having dwelt upon the variouseparts of
the case, and shewn, by fair dedudion, and a legi-
timate
.series of .arguments, that ,this was, not a
question of a malignant libel, but of an absurd,
idle, harmless, and inoffensive produaion, which
was neither intended or calculated to do mischief,
he concluded by saying, that the Court had before
them a Gentleman of the advanced age of 75 years,
whb had lived an unsullied life, who had a large,
numerous, and promising family, which he had
educated in principles of virtue ; he trusted the
justice
of the case would be satisfied by-a miti-
gated sentence, that should not lead to those
mltoeis circumstances which • would have the effed
of bringing his grey hairs with sorrow to the grave,
and of destroying the hopes of his virtuCusiamily
at their entrance into life, by depriving them of
those Connexions they had been. taught to look up
to for support and prom edion.'
Mr. CoNsT followed on the same side, and spoke
with no less feeling of the.unfortunate situation in
which the Defendant was placed by this prosecti-
tion. He principally adverted to the evidence of
'Mc. Smith Barwell, an East India Director, upon
whose cross-examination at the trial it was endea-
voured to be inferred that the Defendant had been
'dismissed for misconduCt from an honourable office
*in India ; this circumstance he fully explained, by
the affidavit of Mr. Barwell himself, and shoved,
that so far. from its having depreciated the Defen-
dant in the opinion of the East India Diredors, they
had, atter due considerati•on; deemed him worthy
to be appointed to a situation of superior trust and
confidence. •
Mr. Imr EY (son-of Sir Elijah Impey) also pro-
nounced a very eloquent and argumentative -appeal
to the Court, in extenuation 9f punishment.
Mr. GA RXOW, who concluded the Prosecution,
;upported the principle upon which it was founded,
ai;tl repeated most of the argumentg he had success_
) cully addressed to the Jury. He considered the
'libel as one which was not entitled -to be treated
with lovity, but as injurious in the highest degree
