EX PARTE SHORE IN RE LUCAS AND SHORE.

This was a petition by the bankrupt Shore, to compel
Mr. Husband, a solicitor at Devonport, to compel his
clerk to make an affidavit to verify the signatures of some
creditors to the bankrupt's certificate. It appeared that
Mr. Husband had been employed both as solicitor to the
commission and to tie bankrupt, and had undertaken to
procure signatures to Mr. Shore's certificate, but some
time having elapsed without the certificate having been
obtained, the bankrupt took the business out of his bands.
It having become necessary to verify some of the signs.
tures which had been obtained, Mr. Husband refused to
permit his clerk, Wyatt, to do so, on the ground that his
bill of costs was not paid.
The COURT was of opinion that it could not call upon
Wyatt to assist the bankrupt till he had placed himself
right with Mr. Husband, whom he had employed for a
time to obtain signatures to his certificate. The petition
must therefore be dismissed with costs.

An express has arrived from Paris, but the contents
have not as yet transpired; consequently, little or nothing
is doing in the Funds at present—had it been of much
consequence, ere this it would have found its way to the

sion of Lord Durham to St. Petersburgh, but not much
credit is given to his going as to the affairs of Poland.—
Great anxiety is felt both by the public and speculators in
regard to the answer of the King of Holland, demanded by
the Five Powers, to be given on the 30th inst. as well as
the expedition of Don Pedro. The late prevailing wind 3

Mr. J. BURMAN, joiner, at Louth, has
lately placed in the church-yard a gravestone, to the
memory of his wife, who died a few months ago; the
stone is about a yard high anti seventeen inches square,
and !vs upon it the following remarkable inscriptiou, be.
ing a passage from scripture :—" I. Samuel xc. v. 24
And all the people shouted, and said, God save the
King."--Many persons daily resort to see it, and are
astonished that such a passage should be selected for a
wife's epitaph.—Boston Gazette.

MRS. MACAULEY.--Mrs. MACAULEY,
the historian, had a dog latterly, of which she made a
a great pet, and on being asked why she bestowed so
much care on it, she answered, " Why ! are you aware
whence it came? It is a true republican, and has been
stroked by the hand of WASHINGTON !" The event of the
French Revolution maddened her o ith joy ; but when the
news came of Louts the Sixteenth's escape, and before
she heard he had been brought back, she took to her bed,
wrote to her friends that she should die of the disap-

SAGACITY OF A DOG.--A Mr. HUGHES,
who belonged to the stage, like many of his professional
brethren, was in the habit of wearing a wig, which
always, when off the owner's head, hung on a particular
peg, with which peg the dog was very familiar. A friend
of Mr. HUGHES requested the loan of the wig, which was
immediately granted. Shortly after, Mr. H. in company
with his dog, met his friend with his own wig on his
head. After some conversation, they shook hands and
parted ; and the dog, instead of following his master, went
Ater the gent:eman with the wig, who was greatly
astonished when the animal jumped on his shoulder, and
took the wig from his head. The dog ran away with it,
,mud never stopped till he reached home, where he placed
the wig on its proper peg again.
