JOSEPH DA W, Principal Clerk,
Sewers-office, Guildhall.

His Lordship having observed that from the abore
quoted document it appeared to be competent to every
citizen of London to came proper attention to be
paid by the scavengers to the particular district in
which he resided, expressed a confident hope that, in
so important a matter regarding the health and com-
fort of the inhabitants, he should have their cordial
support and co-operation. He should attend the next
meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers for the pur-
pose of submitting a proposition relative to the con-
duct of the individual who had so positively invali-
dated his contract.

LOUIS PHILIPPE AND CASIMIR DELAVIGNE.—AS
was to be expected, the papers teem with biographical
notices of Casimir I)elavigne ; but they contain nothing
worthy of extract. Louis Philippe is said to be very
much affected at the death of the poet, because he looked
upon him as one of his firmest friends as well as one of
the literary celebrities of his reign. When, during the
reign of Charles X., the deceased poet was the victim of
all the wrath of the Government, Louis Philippe wrote
to him —"Le tonnere est t0m1.6 sur vutre maison—je
vous offre un appartement dans la. mienue." And after
his accession to the throne, the King amply provided for
him, giving him one or two places, which produced him
a sufficient income, as well as a house free of expense. I
have even heard it said that Louis Philippe gave him a
little estate in the country, in a most delicate manner. A
few years ago, seeing him apparently unwell, the King
said, " My poor Delavigue, Paris does not agree with
you. Go into into the country, ?non cher. There is a
little estate of mine 'in such a province ; go—it is at
your service." The poet went—found servants to wait
upon him—everything ready for occupation ; and in a
secretaire he found a letter ftoin the King, saying that
the little estate was henceforth his. Whatever may be
thought of Louis Philippe as King and as statesman, it
is undeniable that he is an excellent friend and a muni- _
ficent patron of literary men and artists.—John
LORD LTNEDOCII AND OSSIAN.—It is an interest-
ing circumstance, as illustrating the great age of the late
gallant Lord Lynedoch, that he was some time, when a
boy, a pupil under the charge of Mr. Macpherson, the,
translator of Ossian, and that to this connexion we, in
some measure, owe the publication of the poems of the
Celtic Homer. In the summer of 1759, a far distant period
to revert to in the history of one who died but last week,
before George 111. had ascended the throne ; when Ame-
rica was a British colony ; when the first illiam Pitt
was Prime Minister ; when Burke was writing sum-
maries for the Annual Register; when Goldsmith was
scribbling essays in a garret ; and when Johnson had just
composed his " Rasselas" to pay the expenses of his mo-
ther's funeral—in that year Macpherson and his pupil (then
Mr. Graham, yr. of Balgowan) happened to be at Moffat,
a watering place in Dumfriesshire. Home, the author of
Douglas, was also at Moffat at the same time, and young
Macpherson recited to him, in the course of their walks,
fragments of the ancient poems which then floated over
the Highlands and were common in the remote digtricts.
Mr. Home prevailed on Macpherson to give him transla-
tions of some of the pieces, and he showed them to Dr.
Blair and David Hume, who were much struck with their
wild beauty and originality, A publication soon took
place—Macpherson travelled over Skye and the other
islands in quest of more—and in two years the fame of
Ossian was over all Europe, and his translator was
richer by 2,0001. than when he journeyed to Moffat,
little dreaming of the scene that was to open on him,
with Mr. Graham, of Balgowan.—lnverness Courier.

whilst taking a fence, accidentally put his foot into a deep
blind ditch, and threw the worthy Baronet with great vio-
