respectful consideration of gentlemen engaged in that deli-
cate department of the Fine Arts—Courtship. " I have
taken my wife by the nose, but it was in a friendly way,
and I did it much oftener before marriage than after."

that Parish forty shillings per annum each for ever; twenty
shillings for a Sermon, to be preached annually on the 4th

rish for a treat (one of the dishes at the entertainment, in
memory of her is always to be an oatmeal pudding) ; two
shillings and sixpence to the. Clerk, and two shillings and
sixpence to the Sexton.

The Experimental Squadron I:as been so long
before the public, and so much interest has been excited by
the letters which have appeared in the Papers, from dif-
ferent Officers, describing the merits of their respective
ships, that that which was a mere professional question at
first, has become one of considerable curiosity with the
public at large. We trust, therefore, that his Royal High-
ness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL will hereafter permit the
reports which have been, or may be made by Sir THOMAS
HARDY and other Officers, who have had to judge of the
comparative qualities of the ships, to be published for ge-
neral information. We have received several letters from
Naval Officers and others on this subject.

FREE AND EASY.—An Artist of some note,
and a Dandy of the first water, having painted a picture
for the Marquis of LANSDOWN, called on his Lordship not
long since, and was introduced. The Noble Marquis not
being much amused with his airs and graces, and per-
ceiving an affected reluctance to mention the object of his
visit, put it bluntly to him—" I suppose you are come for
your money?" and ascertaining the amount, presented him
with a draft. Not becoming immediately, as it was wish-
ed, "a retiring beauty," but fiddling his cravat, and
dangling about, his Lordship said, "I believe, Sir, that is
right ? any thing more ?"—" No, no—not exactly—but,"
said Air. " but I wish to apprise your Lordship that
I shall send my engraver in a few days for my picture, as
I intend to have it engraved."_" Your picture," said the
Marquis, with some emphasis, " your picture ! I thought,
Sir, it was mine--have not I paid you for it?"—" Yes,
certainly," was the reply. " Then," added his Lordship,
66 I intend to do no such thing, and wish you .a good
morning." It is *pity the Noble Marquis did not recover
his paper, and return the canvas; it might have engraved
on very soft matter a seasonable lesson, and happily made a
salutary impression.
