Lord ILtanwicKa, at his first setting out in
life, was articled to an attorney, whose name is
not mentioned. It happened one day that his
mistress, (to use the expression) in want of ano.
ther servant, sent for him from his office, and
desired him to go to the next market and
buy her some cabbages. " Madam," said
Mr. Y., " I never bought a cabbage in my life,
I shall certainly misspend your money." "No
mutter," replied the Lady, cc It is time you-
should begin ; and I desire you go, as there is
nobody else in the way." Mr. Y. knew his mis-
tress's temper too well to refuse any longer, but at
the same time, not willing to be troubled on any
like occasion, he hit upon an expedient which
effectually answered the purpose. Accordingly he
received the money from his mistress,went out,and
in about half an hour returned with his purchase.
The next day he was to settle Nome accounts of
' disbursements with his master, and, among other
usual articles, the following item appeared
" Item, for buying a cabbage, Is. (34." Sth:ii an
extraordinary charge necessarily induced sn
tiniry on the nia*terin side, lint he was presently
satisfo-d, on beim; hammed that, on such it
day, his mistress called hint from the &lice, and
ordered biro to buy her a cabbage ; but as he
was willing to do his best, and had heard that
the best cabbages were sold in such a mar.
ket (int aning a market to which the coach.
fare from his master's house amounted to
the same charge), he called a coach, and diiving
thither, made a most excellent purchase. The
master smiled : " And from that day to this (his
Lordship would frequently add) I never bought
another cabhage."

Swim—Though a good master, Swirr wits
very strict with his servants; he left his house•
keeper to hire them, but never failed telling
them himself always to mind and shut the door
when they came in and out of his room. One of
his maids having one day obtained leave to go to
her sisters wedding, and the Drat) having even
lent her a hoist., nod ordered his man to ride
before her, the poor girl was so overjoyed that
she ran out and forgot to shut the door. Soma
time after a servant overtook her with orders for
her immediate return, the poor girl complied, and
upon going in to the Dean ingoired how she had
offended hint, and what he wished ? cs Only shut
the door," said her master, 44 and then resume
your journey."

PREVENTED.—Weduesdny last informa•
Lion was received at liettry-street
Dublin, that a (Ind aas about taking place be.
tween J— C—, Esq., and S— N--,Esq. The first
gentleman and his second Mr.B—,were taken into
custody by Mr. Robertson, peace-officer, and
obliged to enter into securities to keep the peace.
DuEL—A Dublin Paper says, " We under-
stand a duel took place yesterday morning, near
Sandymount, between Mr. W. G. C—rr, and Mr.
P. G—y, when the ball of the former gentleman
passed through the side of the latter ; flud from
the opinion of the surgeon who attended rittl
tracted the ball, we IT' led to fear that it her a
dangerous nature. The dispute, we are Old)
oczurred concerning a political subject."
