7qATnews.---Thii popular fa vourite, having
been attacked in a former number of the Euro-
pean Magazine, on his Trip to America, by a
writer who profested to be a " NATive YANK Fr,"
hat entered into his defence in the first number
.of: a New Series of that publication. MATHEWS
tits defended himself on this occasion with so
rritich humour, that, if he had delivered it himself!
411 At Home," it would . have afforded great-1
amusement to his auditors. It is too long for our
Paper, and we will not injure it by a partial ex-
act. It is, however, but justice to add, thauhe
has successfully vindicated himself from. the
charge of malignity and ingratitude, and proved
that he had made no reflections on the NATIOI4AL
CHARACTER Of the Americans, but bad only in-
troduced peculiar individuals and ludicrous inci-
dents, as in his imitations of the Scotch, Irish,
Welsh, &c. The whole indeed is manly,
spirited, .and humorous, and chews that this
whimsical oftitpring of THALIA CRP write as well
as speak, to the credit of his character.

little village about six toilet' from 'Windsor, where she was
born. In a late visit we paid to the spot, we saw the new edi.
Tice and the old one standing beside each other, like a memento
of the fair builder's altered fortunes. She is very popular in the
vicinity, where, notwithstanding her handsome carriage, which
we are glad to hear is sometimes stationed there for days toge-
ther, she goes, and always has gone, by the name of " Allis
Eliza." From the period of her girlhood, when, mounted on a
donkey, she used to carry hir father's vegetables for sale to
Windsor, she was always celebrated as much fur a certain
grace superior to her situation, u for the beauty of her person.

HOW to MAKE a LEG of MUTTON last the WEEK.

As Sunday is a least-day boasted,
I like a leg of Mutton roasted;
On Monday, then, my taste to tickle,
I eat part cold with Indian pickle;
On Tuesday hash it—gravy made,
Some sippeta round the.dish first laid;
On Wednesday broil it with due care,
Some mashed potatoes, too, 'prepare ;
On. Thursday Make a sesson'd
Or else some slices nicely fry ;
And that it may the longer last,
Then Friday I pronounce a Ast;
On Saturday; when cash runs narrow,
I crack the bone, and •6t the marrow ;
And than, that nought be thrown away,
The rest I give to hungry Tray.—(Palladiuin.)

'THE INFLUENCE OF"Flit FAIR SEX UPos TJtE

the maids of honour.

DOCTOR „NH:mg.—There is a great absurdity
in introducing sny thing which is defective, or that gives
in a portrait. There Is- tin amusing anecdote of Or. Johnson
on this subject. Reynolds, in his celebrated portrait, had
painted him. closely applying his eyes to a book, as was his
it in reading; but the Doctor remonstrated against hay.
ing his personal derma exposed in so evident a manner; to
Booth 111111, it was told that Sir Joshua, in a portrait of himselff,
had introduced the ear.trupet, which he was, froth another in
tinnily, in the habit of using; but this would not satisfy this
fretted Colossus of learning ; " /le might, if' he liked it, be
called f,)eaf Reynolds, but no one should cull him Blinking
Sum." •

and another, " that none should wear any sword or buckler, or
cause any to be borne afterttim into the town."
