A NECDQTE
•
Concerning M E 1.1. Z A Slizr P:ime Minister of Persia.

(From Sir R. K. PORTnIt'S TravA..)

His station near the Sovereign gives him a kind.of reflecting
coniequence, that makes a nod or a smile from him so full of a
similar quality, that it may shed honour AD ii.i-teriTie Si down,
wards, graduating dignity, according to its distance from the
Original fountain of favour.. First one happy courtier; en.d then
another, had received• these marks of peculiar grace ; and, in
consequence, became the little centre of a temporary adulation
from hundreds; many of them envied the favo,ir they sought
to corieiliate, even at second or third hand. Amongst the latter
order of suitors was a rich, but Otherwise inconsiatrable
dual, who
.had long attendcti ,:ticTza ShAe'ileveet,..Avithout
having received the slightest notice .;_ but chancing one.. day t
find the minister alone for a few moments, he seized: the oppor-
tunity, and thus uddressed him
" I have had the honour of placing.myself, for these many
months back, in your Excellency's sight; in the midst of your
crowded halls, and yet have never had the happiness of reeeiy-
ingea single glance. But if you' Excellency would condescend,
in the next assembly of your visitors, to rise a little on my en-
trance, such a distinction would be the height of my ambition
I should henceforth he held of consequence in the eyes of the
khans. . And for this honour I would give your Excellency a
consideration of one hundred tomauds."

• It was an argument his Excellency liked so well, he closed
with the propoial, and the time for the solemn mvestirui dignity
was arranged for the next day. The'happyman took care not
to make his appearance till Ole divan .of the minister was pretty
well tilled. He then presented himself
.on the most conspi-
cuous part of the carpet, big with ideas of the overgrowing
honours of which that moment was to make him master.
looked proudly round on the rest of the khans, while Mitzi
Sheffy, half raising himself from his seat by'his _knuckle's, and
fixing his eyes gravay on him, to the_ no small Astonishment
of the rest of the company, exclaimed, Is that enough ?"
The man was so overcome with confusion. he hurried front the
room ; leaving his distinction and his money alike with the
Minister ; but taking with him the useful lesson, that bought
honours are generally paid with disgrace. The laugh or once
went without doubt of sincerity, with tl e great man, and his
smiles became of still higher value, since it had been proved
that he set them above price." .

-The difference its the Sovl REIGNS now in circu-
lation of the late and Ow present reign deserves
a brief recapitulation,- beeause-thefirstdescrip-
tiow of the dye has been forgotten,
.Those' of the
late KING are a strong resemblance of his pro„
tile looking to the right side, and the designation
is in large and very distinct leit..*.-; On the re-
verse,• the- George is very neatly executed, but
not much raised ; and the motto of the order of
the Garter is in very small' letters, 'raised on a
rough ground: The coin of leis present Att.) ESTY
is a good medallion of the KIN 6 looking to the
left side, showing rather inore-.or
.tiis forehead;
the designation AS-the saine--as'the-forrner,•but in
very small letters ; on the reverSe, the George is
much more 'relieved; without -any motto, but
having the date below of 1821.‘ The milling of,
both coins-is equally perfect. • -
iaxisio.—The match for 50 guineas cside. between young
Brain, the costerrnonger, and Bunn, tha Deptford youth, was
made at Burn's, in Ni indrnill-street, on Thursels; evening, to
fight on the 25th of 'September. Thefaie the two best minia-
ture boxers on the- list. - They fought a hard 4ttle some month)
ago, and Brown *on it.
SI occur'rence of rather a cu-
rious nature has lately taken place at Dormont,
in the parish of Dalton, Scotland,' A chicken,
about three weeks ago,- was missing,. and for se-
-veral days could not be found.: it was at length
discovered in the compuy of two. partridges,
who, it appears, not Having any brood of-their'
own, have takett.the little vriandererunder their
protection. The foster parents seem to have 'ail
the affection for the uursling they could have'bad
for their own. offspring ; for when any one goes'
too pear—them, they. are" objerved ,to.,:tbatter;
scream, and, "pious fraud," practise all the other
arts of deceit to elude pursuit.
