TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, opposite the Bank, on THURSDAY,
the 6th of August, at Twelve, by direction of the De-
visees in Trust,
ADesirable FREEHOLD ESTATE,
exonerated from the Land Tax, offering an un-
usually secure investment for capital, called
LEG'S, OR LEGGITT'S FARM,
comprising a Farm House, pleasantly situate on the brow
of a bill, about two miles from Elstree, and on the road
from thence to Barnet. The house might be easily adapted
to a Gentleman's occupation, and the farm buildings are
very appropriate and well situated, together with
ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES OF RICA
MEADOW LAND.

The property may be assimilated to .a
Park, abounding
with full grown timber, and possessing in a rare degree (by
means of the regularity of the grounds) extended and pie
turesque views of the rich surrounding country; on lease
to Mr. David Warl for an unexpired term of eight years,
at a low rent of 2801. per annum.

The Estate may be viewed until the sale by permission
of the Tenant; and particulars had at the Inns at Watford,
Barnet, Elstree, and Stanmore; at the Offices of Messrs.
Dendy and Morphett, Bream's-buildings; at the Mart;
and of sir. George Robins, Covent-garden.

THE WHITWELL ESTATE, IN YORKSHIRE,
Always esteemed as one of the most eligible, and compact
in the county—it includes Nine Farms of One Thousand
Five Hundred and Fifty-seven Acres of Uncommonly
Fine Land—the Farm Houses of a Superior Class—the
Entire Village of Whitwell—the Whole Lordship—and
the Whitwell Inn and Posting-house.
The Rental nearly 3,000/. a• year.

R. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis-
faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY,
the 13th of August, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, a
highly important and singularly desirable FREEHOLD
PROPERTY. It comprehends

THE WHITWELL ESTATE,
WITH THE WHOLE LORDSHIP AND ENTIRE

VILLAGE,
desirably situate twelve miles only from York, and on the
direct road to SCARBOROUGH, (a fashionable and
much-frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marlton
and Whitby.

The Estate embraces so many and such important qua-
lifications, that it will be impossible to compress them in
the confined limits of an advertisement. Enough, how-
ever, will be said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious
and immediate attention of the great Capitalists, and more
especially those whose property is in the Funds; for it will
not be doubted that the exceedingly high price must ren-
der a re-action at no distant period quite certain, and the
very cause which necessarily will diminish the one will in-
crease in the exact proportion the value of Land, and espe-
cially such an Estate as the one now presented, to which
the most sceptical could not hazard an objection. It
includes

NINE FARMS CONTAINING
1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND,
PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND
POUNDS A-YEAR,
With Farm-Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge
rivalry.—The tenantry are not merely respectable and of
long standing, but contented and affluent. To demonstrate
this assertion, it is only necessary to add, there is not, nor
has there been, even in times (happily gone by) of Agri-
cultural distress, a solitary arrear of Rent; to which may be
added, it possesses the great desideratum of being
FREE FROM TYTHE, and EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
The Residence is of an unobtrusive character, it pretends not
to a comparison with its mighty neighbouring compeer, the
EARL OF CARLISLE'S AT CASTLE-HOWARD,
although it does not yield to it in internal comfort. —From
the Terrace walk the views are indescribably beautiful,
and a Panorama is presented, equalling in its extent and
varied scenery, any thing in this favoured country; the
prescribed space forbids a lengthened detail. The magnifi-
cent Minster at York, the Ruins of Sheriff-Hutton and
Crake Castle, are the most prominent. The more distant
view extends far beyond Harrogate, and is terminated only
by the range of Yorkshire Hills. Such is the faint and
imperfect outline of the advantages exclusively belonging
to the Whitwell Estate; and it may be observed, in con-
li
clusion, that it offers one of the most eligible and safe in-
vestments that has ever been offered to unreserved com-
petition.
The WHIT WELL INN and POSTING-NOUSE,
A most comfortable abode, and the first stage from York
to Scarb waugh, forms a part of this valuable Estate. It
can be viewed until the sale, by application to Mr. Jacob
Stubbs (one of the respectabM tenants;)

By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,

At the Auction Mart, London, on TlluasnAY, August 6,
at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of the Mortgagee,
A Very compact and desirable Estate, the
I]L greater portion of it Freehold, and the remainder
Leasehold fur 1,000 years; it is desirably situate about
five miles from the excellent

MARKET TOWN OF BICESTER,
and three miles from the Village of Brill; it is 1.4 from
Oxford, 15 from Aylesbury,. an 150 from London. This
Property has ken farmed by the Proprietor for a I,►ng
period, and he has consumed a great mmy hundred pounds
in improving the land and the agricultural buildings, which
are necessarily of the best description. The whole is in
good order for a tenant's occupation. To a sporting man
this Property holds out unusual temptation ; it adjoins
the well-known preserves of the late

SIR JOHN AUBREY,IIart.,
and SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER,
and it is within a mile of the
CELEBRATED DECOY POND AT BORSTALL,
which is the resort of all kirk of 41 fowl. The Estate
is tithe-free, aa it regards the Freehold on payment of 4
composition of 205., and the rtinainiog part is f.•;.e from
great tithes ; the Vicarial are cnnwouniled for at 265. a
year; there is no other out.going beside the land-tax,
which is 5/. 64. 10d. ; this Property is consequently re-
commended as a very safe and a lvantageous investment on
a limited scale.

CRIMINALS EXECUTED ON MONDAY.

From some accounts which have appeared in
the Papers, relative to the case of Butler, Mar-
telli, and Conway, who were executed on Mon-
day, it would 'appear that it was the general im-
pression that Butler was innocent of the crime
of which he had been found guilty (that of set-
ting fire to the floor-cloth manufaCtory of Messrs.
Downing, at Chelsea). It must strike every
body who read the trial, that the declarations of
innocence made by this young man were with-
out foundation; and we have taken pains to as-
certain whether the Sheriffs, from what they had
observed in the course of their conversations with
him, had formed favourable opinions of the un-
fortunate convict. He a;Teared to he so pious,
so resigned, and had conducted himself with
such decency up to the moment of the com-
mencement of the preparations for the execution
of the law, that he became an object of .great
compassion. Mr. Sheriff Copeland having
heard him repeatedly say that he was not guilty
of setting fire to the manufactory, suspected that
he made a mental reservation, and that he con-
sidered himself justified in declaring himself in-
nocent of setting the premises in a blaze, be-
cause he happened not to apply the match. It
has been ascertained that there were two other
persons concerned, and to this extent Butler
might have Leen unconcerned ; but it is as cer-
tain as that he is now no more, that he was a
party to the transaction. "Do you persist in
your declaration of innocence ?" said the She-
riff to him. "I am innocent of setting fire to
the premises, Sir," replied the convict. " Were
you not concerned in the crime ?" said the She-
riff. "I never set fire to the place," repeated
Butler, who invariably adhered to this mode of
contradiction ; but would not venture, deeply
impressed as he was with religio,vis fears, to deny
a knowledge of the commission of the offence.
In addition to tie evidence produced on the
trial of this person, testimony has boon given to
prove that he had been on tbcx premises at three
o'clock on the morning of the day on which the
fire burst forth. 'A man and hiS wife, who reside
in a house.close to the building, were awakened
at that hour in the morning by a blackbird, which
they had forgotten to feed at night, and as the
bird uttered his notes in a anti• querulous
tone, they could tlot get a wink o'f''icep, if they

It was thus in addressing to the President of
Greece a copy of the protocol of London, that its
provisions,already so anti-popular, have been aggra-
vated by a humiliating summons, to which Count
Capo d'lstria felt that he had neither the power nor
the hardihood to accede. His reply is a model of
dignity, propriety, and good sense.

While all Greece, through the instrumentality of
her President, revolts at the stipulations of London,
the Sultan, who would not have even a shadow of
liberty in Greece, has resumed his old language
with our negociators. The unfavotirable events of
the•war have not rendered hiM either more docile
or conciliatory, and the conferences are recommenc-
ing at Constantinople with concessions on the one
part, but with the same obstinacy on the other.
Many judicious persons therefore already anticipate
the unqualified rejection of the new propositions.
Were we wrong in regretting for Greece and for
ourselves a sacrifice offered in vain? And could we
imagine that the event would so soon justify our
melancholy forebodings
Such is always the fate of half measures. The
framers of the protocol flattered themselves that
they were extinguishing a conflagration. Would
to God that they may not have extended its
progress.

" NOTE ADDRESSED BY MR. HAWKINS TO THE GIRErK

GOVERNMENT, TRANSMITTING THE PROTOCOL OP

THE 22D MARCH, AND DEMANDING THE SUSPEN-

SION OF HOSTILITIES.
" To his Excellency the President of the Provisional

Government of Greece, &c.
" The undersigned, resident of his Britannic Ma.%
jesty, with the Provisional Government of Greece„
has received orders from his Court to communicate
to his Excellency the Count Capo d'lstria, Presi-
dent of the said Government, the copy of a protocol,
signed on the 22d of, March, by the Plenipoten-
tiaries of the Allied Powers who were parties to the
Treaty of the 6th of July, 1827.
The Ambassadors of his Britannic Majesty and
his Majesty the King of France, are now on their
way to Constantinople for the purpose of opening
with the Ottoman Porte a negociation on the basis
established by this protocol, and in the hope of
concluding a definitive arrangement on the affairs
of Greece.

" The President of the Provincial Government
of Greece will, with a lively satisfaction, perceive in
this transaction the determination of the three
Powers to exact from the Ottoman Porta the main.
tenance of the armies announced by the Reis Effendi
on the 10th of September, 18*8, as existing
eye
facto on the part of the Turks; and, in consetinouce
of that determination, the undersigned has ne
doubt that his Excellency will appreciate the just
hope of the Allied Courts, to see immediately
adopted by the- Greek Government measures cwt.
formable to their wishes, either by declaring a sus-
pension of hostilities en all points on which the eon.
Ilia is at present earried on, or by recalling
troops within the limits of the territory placed undo
the guarantee of the three Powers by the Act c4t'thit4
16th November, 1828

" This measure will prove the gefa,l and
loyalty of the principles which aninir.te. thisGoverr-
Went, and the just confidence which it places in the
solicitude of the august lkAwers of the alliance for the.
true interests and hippiness of Greece.

tunitv to. offer to his Excellency the Presidest of
the Government the assurance of his highest. con-
sideration.

" ANSWER OF THE GREEK GOVERNMENT TO THE

NOTE ADDRESSED TO IT BY MR. DAWKINS,

RELATIVE To tp/IR ARMISTICE.
" The provisional Government of Greece has re-
ceived the note which Mr. Dawkins did it the
honour to present to it on the 18th of May, in order
to communicate to it, by order of his Court, ;item
protocol of the 22d of March, signed by the pleni-
potentiaries of the Powers who were parties to tbr
treaty of the 6th of July, 1827, and in order to
call its attention more particularlle to. the clanse of
that protocol which relates to the armistice,
" The resident annottnicea the hopes. 'which the
Allied Powers eutertain of beariT4o., that in con-
formity to the, wishes which 'e
afore d 4 i
xpress in the
clause, the Gre'ftovernment will declare
a,, suspension of ho&tilitif•-s and will recallts troops
within the terv.itary., p
guarantee
1-
under the of
the three PowEl'ls by ace(
the Act of the 16th of No-
Lventhe,r% 181-8. The Greek Government must ac-
"m'io'ge, in the first place, the sentiments of
'.atitude with which it receives for the first time
the onicial communication of acts which relate to
the measures by which the allied Courts hope to
attain, without further delay, the philanthropic and
Christian object which gave rise to the treaty of the
6th of July.
" This communication, however, leaves the Greek
Government to desire much reformation, which it has
not received even up to this day. It has never had
any official knowledge of the note of the Reis Ef-
fendi of the date of the 10th of September, upon
which the hope of an armistice appears to depend.
" If that document, in conformity with the text,
which private correspondence has placed within its
knowledge, of other information,-did not more par-
ticularly. characterize the nature of it,-,the Greek
Government could only see in the letter of the Reis
~Effendi an evasive answer, by means of which the

Porte rejects once more in principle the mediation
which was offered to it by the treaty of the Gth of
July.
.4 In resting upon an armistice de facto, which is
in reality nothing more than a defensive attitude re-
vocable at plearnre,—in declaring on its side, and
upon that basis the cessation of hostilities, the
Greek Government would depart from the prin-
ciples laid down in the said treaty, and would
at the same time contract an engagement which
it would not be in its power to fulfil.- It is ignorant
of the extent of territory guaranteed by the alliance,
seeing that the protocol of the IGth November, 1528,
Avhich Mr. Dawkins mentions, has never been com-
municated to it ; but even though that communica-
tion had been made to it in due season, it would
deem itself to have failed in good faith and loyalty,
which alone can entitle it to the confidence of the
august Allied Sovereigns, by placing before their
eyes the real state of affairs, it had not proved to
them that it was not in its power at the end of last
year, as it never will be, to transport by an act of
authority, into the heart of the Peloponnestis and
the adjacent islands, the miserable population of the
provinces situate beyond the Isthmus of Corinth.
" These provinces, as well as those of the Pelo-
Po•mesus and the islands, contracted in the hour of
trial and misfortune a solemn engagement never to
separate their cause. These engagements are con-
firmed by public acts under a double sanction,—the
sanction of national congresses, and the still more
inviolable ones of oaths.

" Can the Greek Government, whose only power
is founded on these same acts, infringe them by
establishing a line of separation between continental
Greece and the Peloponnesus, seeing that it is to
the immense sacrifices of the country that the Pe-
ninsula has more than once owed its salvation; and,
should the Government arbitrarily assume to itself
this right, would it have the means of effecting
this separation without exposing to new calamities
people who are just beginning to regain their habi-
tations, and to hope for that repose which the Morea
enjoys from the protection and services of the Allied
Powers ? It is not in their power, either by per.
suasion or force, to obtain such a result.
" The inhabitants of the provinces would answer
them, that the third article of the treaty of the
6th of July, and the clause of the demarcation
contained in the protocol of the 4.22 d of March, en-
courage them to hope that the justice and magnani-
mity of the august Allies will not abandon them, and
that it would be an abandonment without redemp-
tion to constrain them to quit the defensible posi-
tions which they now occupy.
" They will answer, in short, that the experience
of their long calamities obliges them to be unshaken
in the resolution—never to quit their native soil, or
the ruins which they defend with arms in their
hand•, except under the influence of superior force.
In the number of the positions which they have oc-
cupied latterly, are Vonizza, Lepanto, Missolonghi,
and Anatolie°. The Mussulmans who compose the
garrisons of these places, being completely left to
themselves by their Government, and deprived of
external resources by the blockade of their coasts,
have themselves demanded to return to their own
country. This retreat, far from giving occasion to
bloodshed and other miseries, has been effected un-
der the safeguard of conventions, which demon-
strate the moderate and pacific views of the Greek
Government, and which deserve the confidence
which they inspire in the Massnimaos themselves.
The letters which the commandant of the Castle
of Romelia and the Pacha of Lepanto addressed to
us at the time of the evacuation of these garrisons,
furnish an irrefragable proof of this fact.
" In this state of things, it is not impossible that
the feeble garrison of Athens, end of the two or
three other places included in the demarcation laid
down in the protocol of the 22d of March, may fol-
low the eseample of the garrisons of Western Greece.
" By such results the Greek Government would
have contributed, as far as its feeble means allow, to
the success of the negoeiations with which, in the
names of the three Courts, the Plenipotentiaries of
:England and France, who are going to Constanti-
nople, have been entrusted.
" Independently of these observations, there are
others which it is the duty of the Greek Govern-
ment to submit to the consideration of the Allied
Courts on the different :irides of the protocol of the
22d of March, and especially on those which relate
to the indemnity of the Envereignty.
" Feeling it right to lose n 3 time in transmitting
to Mr. Deakins the present note, it reserves to it-
self to make at a future time some observations on
the points above mentioned. The Greek Govern-
ment entreats Mr. Dawkins to communicate this an-
swer to his Court, and in our own capacity we offer
to hint the assurance of Out distinguished considera-
tion.

:MADRID, JULY 16.:--A Spanish Mexican Com-
pany has just offered to the Government 175 millions
of francs for the special purpose of covering the ex-
pellees of an expedition to Mexico, composed of
12,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and a suitable
train of artillery. 'ibis company consents not to
receive the repayment of sums it advances, except
in Mexico, from the produce of the countries recon-
quered, with interest at the rate of six per cent., till
the payment of the principal; but the lenders will
resume of right the possession of such of their pro-
perty as shall be recenquered, end for which the
Government shall not be entitled t,.7 require from
them any indemnity.

PARIS, JULY 25.—The accounts received to-day
frcni irlarseilles and Toulon leave no doubt that the
cemmia3ion of M. de la Bretonniere is tobombard
Algiers.
On the 7th inst. a Dutch corvette sailed for
Algiers, with orders to take on board the Consul of
that nation. All the other Consuls are likewise going
to leave the city, for fear of the bombardment. How-
ever, the Dey does not seem disposed to submit. It
is pretended that there is a weak point, at which
the bombardment is possible; but this opinion is
not generally entertained. The Dey appears to trust
for ills defence to the 1,200 pieces of cannon which
I~ii9R his r.a.enparts.
However this may be, when it was known at the
beginning of J.wly befoe Algiers that six Algerne
vessels were at sea, and had appeared on the coast
of Sicily, Mr. Latreyte, who at that time had the
command, despatched the Thetis frigate and a brig,
with orders to sail along the Sicilian coast. The
ships that remaineJ to continue the blockade were
the Iphigenie,the Pro.,lerpine, and the Duchaav de
-Berri frigates, and the Curieux and the .Alerte
brigs. M. de la Bretonnierb must have arrived
there since with the Provence of 42e line. We do
not know what he will obtain by tix wjected bom-
bardment. It is certain, however, that hitklarto the
blockade has produced only a great waste of tnc.nfv,
fatigue, and useless dangers.
The following letter, written from a French port,
contains interesting particulars, concerning the
effects of the blockade, and the situation of our sai-
lors Moho are prisoners:—
" Seven Frenchmen, who were prisoners at Al,
giers, have just been restored to liberty.
" Some days after the festival of Bairam, the
Dey of Algiers, on the solicitation of the Sardinian
Consul, consented to set at liberty seven French
prisoners, and as there were 44 of them, it was ne-
cessary
to draw lots. One billet was made for a
captain, one for an officer, and five for private sai-
lors. Those whom fortune favoured retnmed to
France by Toulon, and the following particulars
have been communicated by them.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1829.

Ilis Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, ac-
companied by his Excellency the Prince ESTER-
HAZY, the Princess ESTERHAZY, the Marquis
of DOUR°, and a party of frionds, now Visiting
at Walmer Castle, arrived yesterday afternoon at
Dover Castle, to make his entree as Lord War-
don of tho Cinque Ports, and to inspect the for-
tifications.

On his Grace's arrival at the Castle rate, the
flag was hoisted and a saline fired. The dis-
ting4ided party were received by SAMUEL
LATHAM, Es q., the Deputy Governor of the
Castle, and Lieutenant-Caa;;2) GossET, the
Commanding Engineer. After viewing the
Governor's apartments, where the Cinque Ports
Officers were introduced to the Lord Warden,
the party were conducted by Colonel Cr PSSET
through some of the subterranean works. They
qultteA the Castle about five o'clock, under a
second salute, on their return to Wahncr. The
very beautiful view from the windows of the

Governor's apartments excited the admiration
of his Grace and distinguished friends.

It has been well said by those most compe-
tent to form an opinion, that this is the age of
discoveries. A few months since a clergyman
at the Dorchester Sessions, decided that a poor
man had no occasion to wear breeches, and now
we have Sir CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER
declaring with equal peremptoriness that he has
no occasion to wear shoes. No one, it seems,
under the grade of an Alderman or a Country
Clergyman, had a right to such aristocratic ap-
pendages. They arc luxuries to be enjoyed
only by the affluent. " Shoes, indeed !"
said Sir CLAUDIUS yesterday at the Mansion-
house with an air of infinite scorn—" no, no,
they (the poor) can get on very well without
them." We should have no objection to see
these luxuries dispensed with by the lower
classes, provided the worthy Alderman, who is
manifestly a wag as well as a reformer, would
begin by setting the fashion himself. The in-
fluence of such high authority could not fail to
have an immediate effect ; while as regards the
picturesque—or as BURKE would term it, the
" sublime and beautiful"--we could conceive no
richer treat than the sight of Sir CLAUDIUS
picking his way through the mud towards Guild-
hall, in the same style and fashion that he so
eloquently recommended yesterday to the two
Gloucester and Birmingham paupers.

Bermuda Gazettes have been received to the
23d ult. inclusive. His Majesty's ship Druid
had gone for England with a freight of two mil-
lions of dollars.

A violent storm, accompanied by most vivid
lightning, was experienced at Bermuda on the
16th, by which the Spike merchantman, lying
in St. George's harbour, had her main-top-mast-
head shattered, and the pilot and several of the
crew severely wounded. Mr. F. A. ROBINSON
was also killed, by the house in which he was,
being struck by the electric fluid.

German Papers of the 22d instant, received

VIENNA, Jun- 17.—Metalliques 99i ; Bank Shares
1121.

Despatches were received at the Colonial
Office this morning from Vera Cruz, dated the
20th June, and from the Havannah, dated July 2.

By the arrival of his Majesty's packet, Sky-
lark, we have received papers to the 19th June,
arid private letters to the 20th. The threatened
invasion from the Havannah was believed at Vera
Cruz, and preparations were accordingly making
by the Government to give it a good reception.
The force stated was 4,000 men, escorted by
two ships of the line, three frigates, and three
brigs of war, which was expected to be debarked
on the coast of Yutacau. But our advices from
the Havannah of the 2d July, state the amount
of troops at 6,000, the number mentioned in
previous accounts. This expedition was to have
sailed on the 7th instant, under the command of
General BARRADOS. The naval force, accord-
ing to the Havannah account, consisted of one
ship of the line, two sixty-gun frigates, two
forty-four gun frigates, one sloop of twenty guns,
and one of eighteen.

Now, if we recollect rightly, it was declared
by the Government of this country, at the time of
recognising the independence of the South Ame-
rican States, or rather during the invasion of
Spain by France, when an expedition was
threatened from Cadiz against the late colonies of
Spain, that if any attempt whatever were made
against the South American Republics by any
European power, England would stand forth in
their defence. That being the case, how comes
it, we ask, that an expedition is threatened against
Mexico ? Though England does not wish to
interfere in the internal commotions in that un-
settled country, yet we think she is bound by her
own declaration to prevent others from interfer-
ing. But, perhaps, the best reason for our non-
interference is the certainty that the Mexicans
can take care of themselves—and that the attempt
of FERDINAND will utterly fail.

MEXICO, JUNE 7.—The supreme Government has ap-
pointed to the office of Minister of the Republic to his
Britannic Majesty, Sir Don Manuel Edward Gorostiss,
who is at present Minister from the Republic to his Ma-
jesty the King of the Netheilands. It has also appointed
as successor to the latter, Don Sebastian Mercado, now
acting as Secretary to our legation to the United States of
North America. Their appointments are generally ap-
proved on account of the notoriety of the services done to
the nation by Senors Gorostiza and because with re-
spect to Senor Mercado, be was in favour, on the circum-
stance of his sufferings for the year 10 in the cause of
independency'. The Government gives daily proof of the
rectitude of its intentions, and that the country alone and
its we:fare are the sole objects of its care.

On Wednesday last, while engaged in digging
the foundation fur a house near Trinity Chapel, JOHN
DANIEL, aged about 40, who was formerly a baker in
Chapel-street, but having failed in business there, has for
these few yetus been employed as a slay labourer, being
seized with cramp in the stomach, instantly expired,
leaving a destitute widow with seven children, live of
whom ate totally incapable of providing far themselves.—
Aberdeen Chronicle.

ANGLING.—A person the other day angling
with fly on the gala entangled the stretcher, or end fly,
on a willow hush. While in this condition, and endea-
vouring to disengage it, an enormous frog made a spring
from the bank at one of the droppers, which it seized and
fairly gorged, to the no small amazement and annoyance of
the angler, who, being no frog-eater, would much rather
have been quit of such an unexpected and ugly customer.
It is a well-established fact that frogs live on worms and
insects, but their being taken with the artificial fly is,
we believe, a thing of rare occurrence.—Edinburgh
Evening Courant.

ANECDOTE OF ORATOR lIENLEY.-HEN-
LEY was drinking in the Grecian coffee-house in company
with 3 friend, when be was heard to say, " Pray, what
has become of our old acquaintance, DICK SMITH ?"
Friend—" I really don't know : the last time I heard of
him he was at Ceylon, or some other of our West India
settlements." HENLEY—" Ceylon, sir ! You have made
two mistakes. Ceylon is not one of our settlements, and
is in the East Indies, not in the West." Friend—" That
rieny." lIENLEv—" The more shame for you : every
boy eight years old knows the truth of what 1 say."
Friend—" Well, well; be it as you will. Thank God
1 know very little about these things." HENLEY—
. what' you thank God for your ignorance, do you ?"
Friend—" I do, sir: what then ?" HENLEY—" You
have much to be thankful for."—Lives of the British
Painters.

A scandalous anecdote is in circulation at St.
I" At the time when the congregation had the disposal
of all tie public offices, a place became vacant in the
town. One of the candidates for the office was supported
by all the principal ladies in the place, but he could not
obtain the object of his desire until be signed a deed, by
which be bound himself to pay 400 francs annually to two
of his patronesses. At first the debt of gratitude ap-
peared light, but soon he perceived that the payment
of the 400 francs made a considerable deduction
from his income, which amounted to only 1,200 franc,..
lie decl gyred that he would no longer pay the 400 francs,
and threatened to recover what he had already paid in a
court. The parties became alarmed, and a relation of one
of the ladies undertook to repay all that they had received.
jt was, however, necessary to ascertain exactly how much
had been paid. The receipts would prove this. The re-
ceipts were handed over by the credulous claimant; and
then, having parted with the only proof by which. he could
establish his ease, he Wagtoldto go about his busluess.
