ANECDOTE OF KING CHARLES IL—King CHARLES the
Second, after taking two or three turns one morning in Saint
James's Park, (as wa his usual custom), attended only by the
Duke of Leeds and my Lord Cromarty, walked up Constitution
Hill, and from thence into Hyde Park. But just as he was
crossing the road the Duke of York's coach was nearly arrived
there. The Duke had been hunting that morning on Houns-
low Heath, and was returning in his coach escorted by a party
of Guards, who as soon as they saw the King suddenly halted,
and consequently stopt the coach. The-Duke being acquainted
with the occasion of the halt, immediately got out of the coach,
and after saluting the King, said " he was greatly surprised to
find his Majesty in that place with such a small attendance!,
and that he thought his Majesty exposed himself to some dan-
ger." "No kind of danger James," was the King's answer,
for lam sure no man in England will take away my life to
make you King."
ANECDOTE OF CROMWELL.—In the civil war, Sir Wm.
Smyth was governor of Hillesdon House near Buckingham,
where the King had a small garrison. This place was besieged
and taken by Cromwell, but the officers capitulated to march
out with their arms, baggage, &c.—As soon as they were with-
out the gate, one of Cromwell's soldiers snatched off Sir Wm.
Smyth's hat. He immediately complained to CromWell of the
fellow's insolence and breach of the capitulation. " Sir," says
Cromwell, " if you can point out the man, or I can discover
him, I promise you he shall not go unpunished ; in the mean
time (taking off a new beaver which he had on his head) be
pleased to accept of this hat instead of your own."
FORTUNE TELLING.—Much attention was last
week excited in this town by a remarkable instance of simple
credulity and deception, which we are bound to mention as
a caution to all who are apt to place any trinfs.lence in those
who pretend to foretel future events. A fo*une-teller, who
styled herself a WisE WOMAN, was for abme weeks resi-
dent in this town, through which she ingeniously caused the
following Address in manuscript to be privately circulated on
small pieces of paper ; " Ladies, if you wish to know what is
past, or what is to come, ally questions asked can be resolved by
illrs. Tilford, dealer in ladies' wash balls, lodged at Mrs. Tom-
linson's, Petticoat-lane, Boston." Last Mondayevening, a ser-
vant girl of this town called upon Mrs. Tilford, who persuaded
her to borrow and bring to her lodgings 24 pound notes,
on a promise that the man she would marry should that
night appear at her bedside, provided she slept with that sum
of money in the inside of her stays. The girl, who placed
the notes on a chest of drawers, kept her eyes fixed stead-
fastly upon them, but so far became the dupe of the fortune-
teller, that when she unrolled, at seven o'clock the next morn.
ing, the piece of brown paper into which she imagined she saw
them put one by one, she found nothing in it but another piece
of paper, for the notes had remained in the hands of Mrs Til-
ford, who decamped from her lodgings during Monday night,
and left Boston by the Perseverance coach on Tuesday morn!,
ino. at four o'clock. As the girl, in obedience to the injunction
of her deceiver, did not unloose the paper from her stays before
seven o'clock, the fortune-teller had unhappily but too much
time to elude her pursuers, and to frustrate the means which
were as soon as possible taken for her apprehension. She is
said to be a tall middle-aged woman, of imposing manners and
genteel address.—(Boston Gazette.)
MONTREAL, AUG. 14.—SINGULAR ATURDEIL—We have
learned the following particulars from a gentleman lately from
Three Rivera:—" A young man, living on the opposite bank
of the river, affianced to a girl of the same place, went down to
Quebec ; he there became acquainted with another girl, whom
he married. After his return, the disappointed one, meeting her
successful rival on the beach, and deriving strength from jea-
lousy, seized her, flung her to the earth, and when she opened
her mouth to scream for assistance, crammed it full of sand.
The unfortunate being, fearful of being stifled, endeavoured to
keep her mouth shut ; but gasping for breath, was obliged to
re-open it, and at each attempt to respire received an additional
handful, till she at length fell a victim to the diabolical rage of
her enemy. The murderess is in gaol at Three Rivers."
Russ JELLY.—Arnong the novelties of the Pa-
risian circles, rum jelly has become an universal
favourite. It is made in the following manner:—
To a quart bottle of common white wine take a
pound of sugar, which is to be reduced to a sirop,
and clarified. Then take an ounce of isinglass,
which put on the fire till it is thoroughly melted,
pass it through a, cloth, and mix it with the sirop
half warm. When this mixture is nearly cold,
pour it into the white wine, and stir it well, so as
to mix it completely. Then add a spoonful, or a
spoonful and a half (according to the strength
which you desire to give to the jelly) of old Ja-
maica rum. Stir again this mixture, and pour it
into the mould that it may take the shape in
cooling, which you design to give it, if intended
as a plat for the table, or into glasses, if designed
to be handed round at an evening party.
The Bishop of BAIIIA made a motion in the
Portuguese Cortes on the 3d instant, for pre=
venting burials in churches, which, he observ-
ed, converted the sacred temples into recepta-
cles of putridity. He proposed that cemeteries
should be formed in all the cities and large
towns of Portugal on the plan of the English
burying-grounds at Lisbon and Oporto. The
motion was laid on the table for a second read-
ing, when it will be determined whether` or not
the question shall be discussed.
The mahogany table, formerly the property of
the great FRANKLIN, was sold- by auction at
Boston on the Ist inst. for 20 dollars.
FLOGGlNG.—Ye.sterclay morning, between nine
and ten o'clock, a great concourse of people as-
sembled in the Old Bailey-yard, to witness the
public flagellation of several juvenile offenders,
tried and convicted at the late Sessions. The
Sheriffs were in attendance 'whilst the punishment
was inflicted.
