- Our readers will perceive in our' first page a
ipirited debate ascribed to the House of Lords by a face-
tious friend of ours. From its date, and internal evi-
dence, there can be no doubt as to the degree of credit
which it deserves. -

" What is your name ?" said a gentleman to
a porter—" My name," replied the fellow, " ix the same ae
my l'ather's." " And what is his name?" said the gentle-
man.—" It IA the same as mine." " Then what are both
your names?"-_" Why, they are both alike," said the porter.
A Gentleman ordered to attend one evening,
at the bar of the Home of Commons, respecting the Isle of
Man, was asked by Mr. Dundas, if the population of the
Island was on the increase Very much, answered the
witness, since my living there.

The improvements, which the public conve-
nience has so long demanded in the Richmond-road, near
Putney-bridge, and the want of which is so frequeutly
made obvious by accidents occurring there, have been com-
menced under the direction of the County Surveyor ; Lut
nothing but an Act of Parliament, which shall create a
power for raising a larger sum of money than the neigh-
bourhood is likely at present to devote to that purpose, will
make the narrow and angular passes, from which the in-
convenience and danger arise, as commodious ns the public
require them to be.

APHORISMS.—Our suspicions justify the de-
ceit of others. There is nothing we give more freely than
advice. The man who overcomes his passions proves their
weakness rather than his own rtrengtla. A man is never
rendered so ridiculous by those qualities which he possesses,
&A by those which he affects to possess. There are people
who would never have been in love, if they had never heard
the thing talked of. People would speak but little did not
vanity make them talk. A man would rather speak ili of
himself, than not talk of himself at all. We praise in the
hope cf being praised again. —Rochefoueauit.

o perceive in our first page the announce-
ment of sale, by private contract, of some superior invest-
merits in Landed Property, more especially a very splendid
mansion and domain, sitnated in the West of England
which is acknowledged to stand unrivalled as a residence'
of the very first elan, in which art has combined with na-
ture in rendering it every thing that the most refined taste
can possibly obtain ;
and what adds to the desideratum is, the
the sum demanded for the purchase is such, that it will at
present pay upwards of 4 per cent. per annum, and tht
rental which is now considerable,
may with managemene
be very much enareased. The other properties alluded toll
are equally desirable as residences, and asinvestments to
persons of smaller capital.
On Monday, the stag called Dale Park, was
the general opinion of the
sportsmen
turned out near the Dyke. For some time he chewed such
reluctanceow e reigiving

that be would not run. After,
h
the hounds were
laid uponthe scent and soon ran up to him ; this put him
upon his mettle, and he darted off at his best pace, bearing
away, with the leading hounds close upon him, down the
Dyke, for Poyning's Gate, turning to the left into the in-
closures at the bottom of the hills, and then ascending the
bill, away for Pershing Farm, for Toddington Woods,
skirting part and through part, at a rattling pace. The
music of the hounds echoing through the woods, was en-
chanting; tLe company was very select, only six of the
party being up. He then bore away across the Henfield
road, for Heeding Brooks, till he came to the Adur River,
where, being very hot and bard pressed, he took to the
water, after a run of ss minutes, part on the downs, but
the greater part in the inclosures, and at a pace quite as
brisk es the sportsmen wished. In order to take the stag
the huntsman swam his horse across the river. After re-
maining the water a quarter of an hour, giving the
greater part of the field who had followed at some distance,
an opportunity of coming up, he again started, giving them
another run, passing through Beeding, and bearing away
for Shoreham bridge, on the hank of the river. Having
crossed it and returned back to Beeding, he was taken in
a farm yard in the neighbourhood. Many of the sports-
men were much pleased with the view they had of the run
from the hills, others regretted that they were not in com-
pany with the select few who kept up with the pack. In
the course of the run, the whipper-in broke his horse's leg,
and immediately killed him. Gallant Robin Hood was in
waiting to take the field, had not Dale Park shown sport.
This attention on the part of the Committee, to prevent
disappointment, is, we have reason to know, duly appre-
ciated.—Robin Hood will be turned out on Friday....
