confectioner, in the city, who, a few years ago, sold annu.
ally cakes for consumption on twelfth night to the amount
of 6001 , did not sell more for use the last twelfth-day
than amounted to 701. _ _

Afr. ROBERT CHAMBERS, whose " Literary
Journal," and other works have deservedly obtained such
'Aide celebrity, has recently produced a concise " History
of Scotland," brought down to the present times, writttn
in a plain and popular manner. It is also well calculated
by its unimpeachable accuracy, its portable size and its
cheapness, to be one of those popular histories in every
body's hands.
A public dinner was given yesterday by the
electors of the Chertsey district, at the Crown Inn, Chert-

since to a medical gentleman residing in the neigh-
bourhood of Old Romney :—" Cer,—Yole oblige me if
yole kom and see me. I have a bad kowd, am hill in my
bow hills, and have lost my happy tight. Your sarvt,

She was bound for Barcelona, with stock fish. The ves-
sel's papers were cast ashore, from which these particulars

DRAMATIC ANECDOTES.—AII who take
any interest in dramatic affairs must view with especial
curiosity the career of those votaries of the sock and
buskin who, from various causes, have from time to time
been induced to quit this country, and to select as the
scenes of their professional exertions the shores of the
New World. If sparkling anecdote, curious detail, not
unmixed with the most varied and valuable information
can recommend a work, Mr. Dula.Ar's recently published
" Anecdotes of the American Theatre," are richly entitled
to public estimation. Anecdotes of COOK E, KEAN,
KEMBLE, MATTHEWS, HOLCROFT, SIDDONS, BERNARD,
KOTZEBUE, SCHILLER, GOETHE, COOPER, are alone suf.
ficient to attract any reader.
AGREEABLE SURPRISE.—The effects of a
respected clergyman, who lately departed this life in the
parish of St. Sidwells, and who, from his frugal habits,
was not supposed to be possessed of such superfluous
wealth, having been examined last week, in several of the
drawers a quantity of hard cash was found, which took
two learned gentlemen of the law, belonging to this city,
with their assistants, above hours to count, when it was
discovered to amount to 50,0001. A wheel-barrow was
provided, and a powerful driver procured, to transport the
treasure to one of our banks. It is said that one of the
servants has been left 5001.—Exeter Gazette.

A LOQUACIOUS COMPANION.—Tuesday a
gentleman, who paid for a seat in the Bath coach, on its
arrival at his hotel, in Piccadil►y, went with his luggage
to the coach, but on perceiving a gentleman whom he
knew inside, he suddenly retreated, telling the coachman
he bad changed bis mind, and consequently forfeited his
deposit money. Being asked by a friend in thc: coffee-
house, why he did not proceed, he answered, that " the
gentleman in the coach was an eternal prater, and he was
convinced, if he were to travel with him, that he would
talk him to death before be reached the end of his jour-
ney." it is notorious that the person alluded to caused
an excellent ordinary at the west end of the town, which
he frequented, to be discontinued, as his incessant gabble
talked away the landlord's customers.
ANECDOTE OF BENTHAM.—Bis table-talk
partook largely of reminiscences of by-gone days, but be
would now and then indulge in some lively sally upon
those who were his guests. To one of them, a gentleman,
alike distinguished by the honesty and earnestness of his
opinions, and by the talecc with which he supports them
with his pen, but to whose conversation GARRICK'S joke
o❑ GOLDSMITH inigbt be applied—

" He writes like an angel, but talks like poor Poll,"

Mr. BENTHAM once said, whilst at table, " J—, take that
pen in your hand." The pen was taken. " There ; now,
J—, you are one of the cleverest fellows in England.
Put it down." The pen was laid down. " There ; now,
J—, you are one of the greatest noodles I know of.
Don't talk, J—, don't talk ; write, write."—Annual
Biography.
THE LEATHER TRADE.—This trade has
been extremely flat and depressed for the last twelve
months, and prices have been so low as, in many cases,
not to leave the tanners a profit. It now, however, ap-
pears that prices have passed their lowest ebb, and that
the tanners have again the prospect of realising a fair re-
turn for their capital. The stock of leathers at present
on hand is very limited, as compared with that of last
year at this season ; a good deal of leather has been sold
of late, and some articles are becoming scarce, and look-
ing up in pricee.Liverpool Times.
