ROMANCING.

In a village, not quite 100 miles from this town (Car-
marthen), there resides a gentleman famed for his wonderful
talent in romancing. On one evening last week he went
into the village inn, seemingly in very low spirits. The in-
quisitive landlord immediately asked what was -the matter,
&c. &e., but the gentleman declined returning him a direct
answer, giving him to understand by certain hints and inu-
endoes that he was engaged in a duel that was to take
place on the following day, and that from the known
character of his antagonist he was certain of being shot.
The thoughts of parting from his wife and children was the
cause of his anxiety. He then left the inn, stating that he
must go home to try to arrange his affairs as well as he
could before the fatal morrow. The landlord, fearing to
lose a good neighbour and customer, had two horses im-
mediately saddled, and sent for the parish constable, whom
he took with him on full gallop to the next magistrate,
living a few miles off. His worship, when he heard the
case, immediately granted his warrant for the apprehension
of the Squire, giving the constable strict orders to take
great care of his prisoner, and not on any account to allow
him to get out of his presence, and to bring him before his
worship on the following day. Boniface and the constable
returned quite pleased with their success to the village, and
immediately sent for the Squire, stating that he was wanted
at the inn. He went to them instanter, little dreaming of
his fate, and when he was tapped on the shoulder by the
constable, and told that he was his prisoner, he was quite
astounded, and swore that it was all a hoax ; that he had
never quarrelled with any person, but that the landlord had
asked him for some news, and that as he had none to give
him, he was obliged to invent a little ; but that upon his
honour it was all a lie. The constable said that he could
not help that, and that as he had received his warrant and
instructions from the magistrate, he must obey them ; but
at the same time he had no objection to allow the Squire to
remain with a few friends in the inn parlour for the night,
provided that 4 he was one of the company, which was agreed
to. When the Squire appeared on the next day before the
magistrate, he protested and swore that the tale about the
duel was all a lie, or hoax, on his part. His worship told
him that the information against him was given by a re-
spectable man on oath, consequently that he must give
good securities to keep the peace for one year, otherwise he
must commit him. The Squire then gave the necessary
security, and swore that he would abstain in future from ro-
maneing.—Welshman.

It is said that the loan proposed by M. Jauge is
making progress notwithstanding his arrest. A prospectus
of the operations will be published in the name of two bank-
ing firms, one of London, and the other of Amsterdam.—

PURSE PRIDE.—It is to be lamented that the na-
tional character of the English is pride, and the meanest of
all pride—purse pride. Even a poor Lord is despised, and
to increase his fortune a necessitous Peer will condescend to
marry into a rich citizen's family. An overweening affection
for money—an idolatrous worship of gain, have absolutely
confounded the general intellect, and warped the judgment
of many, to that excess, that in estimating men or things,
they refer always to " What is he worth ?" or, " What will
it fetch ?" Were we to point out a person as he passes, and
say, "There goes a good man, one who has not a vice," he
would scarce be noticed j • but exclaim, " That man is worth
500,000 i," and he will be stared at till out of sight. This
sordid habit of thinking was finely hit off by a keen fellow of
a neighbouring nation, who carried on business in London
and failed. Sitting in a coffee-house one day where a few
wealthy citizens were discussing some money concerns, and
observing him very attentive, one person turned aside and said
to him, " What's your opinion, Sir, of the matter ?"
" S'blood, Sir," returned he, " What opinion can a man
have in this country who has not a guinea in his pocket ?"
This makes goOd what Mr. Burke says, " That a merchant
has no faith but in his banker ; his ledger is his Bible ; the
exchange is his church • the desk his altar; and his money is
his God."J...Trusler's idemoirs.

THE INDIGO TRADE. —A new'series of sales was con
the
at the India House to-day, a plan having been arranged 4,ce
mercantile interests to have periodical sales for he convenie of
of trade and commerce, previously to the total cessationo,
the East India Company's sales. The East India Coral!
have allowed sales to take place in the India House, and 4-
-
new era has commenced in the trade, the sale rooms ''aj:t
crowded with persons engaged in the East India trade.

considerable discussion took place before the sale commellnit
as to the mode in which the new plan was to operate as reg_m'el
the deposits. Mr. J. H. Palmer, as one of the merchants engle.
in bringing the plan into operation, said that of course the adi
posits need not be paid until the weigh warrants were ;,;tale
for delivery. The new plan is considered likely to faciiii
br
trade, and among other changes, interest is to be allowed nt,

The explanation of Mr. Palmer was considered satisfacterl
and the sale commenced, one of the Company's old auctioneev,
acting as President of the sale. Before the sale began ,;00
