ANECDOTE OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.--
During the time that his late Majesty GEORGE 111. was
indisposed, at Windsor, it was frequently his custom to
play a game of cards. On one occasion, while playing
with Dr. KEATEs, one of his physicians, at picquet, the
Doctor was about to lay down his hand, saying, as he
wanted but twelve of being out, he had won the game ;
for, added he, " I have a quatorze of tens." The KING
bid him keep his cards. Tens were good for nothing just
then ; for, said his MAJzsry, looking significantly at Dr.
KRATES, and laying down four knaves, " Here are my
four physicians."

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—.About twelve
o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday last, a fine girl, about
fifteen years of age, was standing near what is termed the
teagle-door, in the fifth story of Messrs. M'Connell's
factory, Ancoats, Manchester, when an infant child that
she had in her arms making a sudden spring, the poor girl
was so startled and alarmed that she fell backwards
through the opening, and with the infant was killed upon
the spot. The infant's head was literally dashed to pieces.

AN EFFECTUAL OPIATE.—A few days
ago, a simple lad in the employment of a respectable firm
near Bradford, had been threatened by the foreman with a
flogging for neglect of duty; this threat preyed so much
upon his mind as to deprive him of sleep for several nights.
At length, to obtain some relief, he communicated his distress
to two of his companions, expressing an earnest wish that
the flogging was over, as he could neither sleep nor eat for
the thoughts of it. His companions told him that the
remedy for his complaint might easily be provided, and
that if he would go into the stable, and submit to be tied
up, they would apply the punishment, the expectation of
which caused him so much apprehension. This the lad
immediately complied with, and next morning, upon re-
turning to his work, told them that he was very glad it
was over, as he had slept very comfortably•

It is about eight weeks since the writer of this
memorial last saw Mr. Canning. His constitution had
been much shaken by the violent attack he had undergone
in the winter, the consequence of a cold caught at the Duke
of York's funeral. At dinner, Mr. Canning looked care-
worn and enfeebled ; but, as the Session was approaching
to its close, his friends fondly looked forward to a period
of comparative repose, which might gradually repair his
shattered constitution. But how little repose is ev( rin re-
serve for the Prime Minister of the King of England ! Mr.
Canning had always shown the writer particular kindness,
in the recollection of which I now derive a melancholy con-
solation ; and on that evening, as his guests departed, I re-
mained accidentally last in the room, and when I wished
him " Good night, and farewell," he asked "When I left
town?" "In three days." "Ah !" said he, "so soon ?
Thengood bye; I shall not see you again." I shook him
tenderly by the hand, and said, " God bless ycu, Sir ;" for
as I looked in his pensive, though beaming, counteunnce, I
marked the impression which disease bad left, and care had
fixed, upon his " faded cheek, yet under brows of daunt-
less courage and considerate pride," the sad thought darted
across my mind, that perhaps, indeed, I should not see him
again. And now, in little more than one short month
afterwards, with bitterness do I lament the fulfilment of
that presage.—Liverpool

THE CALENTURF.---ThiS disorder, which,
at sea, causes persons to imagine themselves sur-
rounded by groves and green fields, and often
induces them to leap into the sea, where they are
drowned, appears to attack the wanderers of the
desert also. For those Arabs, who, lost for days
in the wilderness, or on the burning pathless
sands, have been mocked with the shows of
palaces and gardens of the most perfect beauty,
which fled or vanished as they approached, must
undoubtedly have been under the influence of
some disorder analogous with the calenture.
