KENTUCKY M_AN'NERS.

Dr. S. a Surgeon in the U. S. Army, travel-
ling in Kentucky, stopped at a country tavern,
and called for a glass of gin toddy. There Was
sitting in the bar room a tall, fierce, and savage-
looking fellow, with a huge pair of whiskers.-:--
The toddy was made, and as the landlord was in
the act of handing it to Doctor S. the whiskered
gentleman arose from his seat, took the glass
from him, and nodding his head to the traveller,
said, " My service to you," and drank off the
toddy.without" once taking the glass from his
lipS. The Doctor sunned the man of whiskers;
and judging, from his dimensions, that it would
not be, good policy to quarrel with him, pocketed
the affront, and ordered a second glass. The
toddy was prepared, and again the I(entuckyan
took the glass from the hand of the landlord,
and raised it to his lips. 'When he was in the
act of swallowing its contents, the Doctor
drew his dirk and passed it through the cheeks
and between the jaws of the drinker, to his great
consternation and alarm. He dropped the glass,
and instantly fled, exclaiming, " I in killed, I'm
murdered." He had no sooner lefi the house
than the landlord, with a smiling countenance,
:echibiting symptoms of great delight, advanced
towards his remaining guest, and shaking hitri
cordially by the hand, exclaimed, " A real Old
Kentuck by the powers ! You are the best frier
I have met with for many a long year. The'
fellow you have just pinked was the bully of the
county, and a terror to all travellers. He has
nearly ruined me
_by taking his seat in my bar-
room regularly every day, and insulting* as lie

Did you not observe his long nails ? has
(rouged
more than fifty men in his time, and I
expected every moment to see him take out one
of your eyes. (The Doctor had -hut one.) I
think you have given him such a dose that he will
not trouble my house again. Now, my good
friend, if you will stay a year with me, you shall
he as welcome as milk-punch in harvest tirri,
and both you and your horse shall be fed upon
the best, and no charge, d'ye see." The travel-
ler thanked him politely for his civility, but be-
ing under orders, and not knowing what mea-
sures the whiskered man might adopt to revenge
the injury he had received, when he should dis-,
cover that he was not actually " killed," took a
',lass of toddy tendered by the landlord, and
,
took his leave, not without the most pressing in-
vitation- from his grateful host to make his house
his home whenever he should be in that part of
the country.—Philadelpkia Paper, June 14.

RECEPTION OF THE BRITISH DEPUTA-

TION BY THE KING OF AVA.

His Majesty had remained secluded in his
palace since the signature of the treaty, and wa4
;o much annoyed with the Iwo Burman Comte
missioners for having authorised the visit of our
Officers, that he threatened to behead them,
should he be obliged to receive the deputation.
A great sensation also was created among
the inhabitants of the capital, When they heard
that the Chief of the Flying Artillery was on his
way up, as they concluded he Was followed by
the whole army, and so much did they dread our
Approach, that the Woonghee sent a message to
Ava on the signature '.;:)f the peace, to desire the
population not to be alarmed when our salute
was fired.

On this conduct of the King's being made
known to Sir A. Campbell, he immediately sent
to recall the deputation.; but, in the interim, the
Golden Foot had changed his mind, 'and sent a
handsome gilt war-boat to•convey the Officers to
Ava.

It was quite dark, before they arrived, -yet
notwithstanding, the King was particularlyanx-
ious to receive them ; but Menzaghee and others
having dissuaded him from this fancy, the au-
dience was fixed for the morrow. 'ln the interim,
the gentlemen were conducted to the house of
Nfonshoeloo, Maywoon of one of the quarters of
the palace, where an excellent repast in the
English style, with a profusion of wine, was pre-
pared for them : and on the following morning
prepared to wait on his Majesty, when a discus-
sion arose whether 'they should wear their
swords, a point which was conceded to the
Burmabs, as being in di,ect contradiction to the
established etiquette of the Court. At three
o'clock the officers were summoned to proceed
to the Roudaye, where another dispute arose
respecting the place at which they were to take
off their shoes; but it was agreed, after some
demur on • the part of the Burmahs, that they
should not do so till at the steps of the palace.
The officers then entered the • outer gate of
the palace, preceded by the presents to the King,
and marching through•a line of soldiers, passed
under other gateways, the last defended by seve-
ral pieces of cannon. Directly opposite to this
was the entrance to the ball of reception, where,
at the upper end, the Royal Throne was placed ;
but the etiquette not permitting them to march
straight up to it, they were obliged to advance in
a semicircular direction, in front of the troops
which were drawn up in a crescent on each side.
At the entrance of the hall the shoes were taken
off, and during this' time bands were playing,
and dancing girls exhibiting their graces to the
strangers, who then entered the hall and seated
themselves on the ground at about fifty feet from
the vacant throne. Above them were several
members of the Royal Family ; and the rest of
totecls
the assembly was composed of the different high
ed
thes officers in
officers-of the Crown, the whole dressed in white
muslin. Pickl

particular mark of favour, and shortly afterwards
the music suddenly ceased, and a dead silence per-
vaded the assembly, This was succeeded by a
distant t haunting, which approached nearer and
nearer, until the folding doors behind the throne
were thrown open by invisible hands, and dis-
closed to view the King advancing with slow and
measured steps, and dressed in a white jacket
and turban, with a splendid gold chain thrown
over his shoulders. His Majesty took posses-
sion of the throne, and remained perfectly mo-
tionless, except that. he now and then applied
to his betel-box, and occasionally lifted his eyes
to look at the foreigners.
A list of the presents from the British com-
missioners having.beett read, the three officers
were invested with Burman titles, which the
Golden Foot had been pleased to grant, and the
ceremony consisted in binding on the forehead
a piece of gold, on which their new rank was
written ; a ruby ring, a piece of silk, two lack-
ered boxes and as many cups were also presen-
ted to each of them ; and the King, then, in an al-
most inaudible tone ofvoice,said something to those
next him, who immediately asked aloud, whether
the foreigners had any petition to prefer, and
Captain Lumsden having replied that " he hoped
the peace and friendship between the two great
nations might be lasting, the audience finished
by the King's retiring in the same manner that
he advanced. p. 403---4060--Tteo Years in

It would appear by the last advices born Lis
bon, that the Portuguese Government had un
successfully opened a loan of 1,000,000 milreis,
which being turned into English money, would
not amount to 300,0001. We some time since
said that there would be, at perhaps no very dis-
tant period, a concussion in the foreign annuity
system. We said that the time would come,
when some of the Foreign States to whom we
had been so prodigal in lending money would not
be able to pay the dividends as they fell due.—
This time seems to be fast approaching, so far at
least as Portugal is concerned. It seems that
the Portuguese cannot iu their own country,
where their resources ought to be best known,
raise a loan to the amount of little more than one
quarter of a million sterling—a sum so trifling,
as hardly to cover one half of the expense of our
army there. The moneyed people in Portugal
must therefore have a bad opinion indeed of
their own Government, if they will not lend it
so moderate a sum. The next thing to be done,
it is not improbable, will be an application to
this country for a loan. They well know, that a
quarter of a million is nothing for us—but we
hope, that should they apply, the people of this,
country will not accommodate them with any-
such sum, for the debt at this moment owing to,
.us by Portugal is already too large, and in all:
probability will never be repaid ; and provided:
there be no new contrivance to lend a further
sum of money to the Portuguese Government, we
shall not even be paid the dividends. What effect
this intelligence may produce on the Portuguese
Stocks in our market we cannot exactly anticipate;
but we should think that they are likely to be
lower rather than higher. The next loan that we
think we shall hear, will be a loan for Don Pedro,
of Brazils as the time seems to us to be ap-
proaching very fast, when a new loan must be
negotiated for the payment of the dividends on
Brazil Stock.—Morning Herald.
, Too many of our readers are probably aware
that a more than ordinary degree of fever has
prevailed in the metropolis for the last two
months or more ; and that, considering the ge-
neral salubrity of the season (with the exception,
perhaps, of rather more than our ordinary share
of east wind), it cannot be justly attributed to
atmospheric causes. • Wishing to create caution,
and not to excite alarm, we should say that it
may. be worth while to' inquire whether causes
may not be found for this evil in the dense state
of our population, and the bad state of our ge-
neral police, sufficient to account for a degree of
contagious danger much greater than any with
which the present age has hitherto been visited.
• Let any man who wishes to be informed upon
this subject (and it is the duty, at least, of the
Government to be so) only visit the scenes of
filth and wretchedness which he will find in
Shoreditch, in •Spitalfields, -in Whitechapel, St.
George's Fields, in Westminster, St. Giles's, and
St. Mary-le-bone, and he will only wonder that
so much general-health prevails in the metropo-
iis as really does. But -at the same -time, look-
ing at. the danger which such a state- of society
as he will there find paturallyproduces, he will
be the more convinced how necessary it is that
the general health should -be protected by some
more faithful surveillance than that which the
inhabitants of the metropolis at present derive
from the partial, jobbing, inattentive care of the
different Parish Boards and. Vestries.
ness is, for instance, the first conducive to health,
and individual and general. cleanliness produce
each other. It is one of the duties of the bodies
we allude to, to cleanse the metropolis ; yet how
it is cleansed those who frequent only the great
thoroughfares must see pretty well ; hut the state
of these bear no, comparison with the ob-
scure places to which we have referred, where
the most scandalous and dangerous negligence
prevails.on this important subject. Nothing, it
is well known,-is so calculated to produce a dan-
gerous malaria as the collection ,of putrid matter
in the streets, the lanes, the alleys, the marl,ets,
courts, yards, and private houses, of a vast me-
tropolis like this. The state of Covent-garden
Market alone, and the avenues leading to it, is,
at this time of the year especially, enough to
produce wide-spreading disease. But that, in:

the Duke of Wellington. Upon what autho-iity,,
then, do they presume to contradict information
derived from a source of unquestionable authen-.
ticity ? The fact of the interview, indeed, they:
do not dare to deny ; and the unworthy subter-
fuges to which they are driven to resort to on the
occasion, only bespeak their fears that the hopes
we have ventured to express, in regard to the
probable happy results, will speedily be realized.
—Morning Post.
We do not know that there is more trouble
in dressing up a bounce, than in making it.
When the naked fact is kicked down, the only
chance of setting it up again is by clothing it
with circumstances. This has been done by the
manufacturers of the invitation to the Duke of
Wellington. They are all ready to swear to the
-truth of their original assertion : but one of
them, last night, goes a little further in the Ala-,
jor Longbow—Ex. Gr.
" We repeat what we asserted on Friday, that the
Duke's visit was the consequence of a distinct, pressing,
peremptory command from the King, and we vouch that
Lord Maryborough was the bearer of the Royal message.
" We add, that the Duke dined, or lunched, call it as
ye will, at four o'clock, with his Majesty, who afterwards
excused himself from attending a dinner party, previously
invited by him for seven, stating, that he had actually
dined *ith ' his friend, the Duke !!!' "
This is irresistible. Distinct !—pressing !
peremptory !—And then the astounding fact,
that the " Duke dined, or lunched—call it
what you will—exactly at four o'clock !" There
is no getting over this. Time, place, and circum-
stance, all set down. But what are we to say of
the concluding statement, that his Majesty, who
had invited a party to dine with him at seven,
was actually obliged to send an apology, be-
cause he had lunched with " his Friend,
the Duke," at four ? However, we must say,
it was not very polite of his Majesty, (with
all due reverence be it spoken) to ask a few
friends to dinner at seven, and sit down to a
luncheon or dinner, " call it what ye will," at
four. But. we happen to know the fact was pre-
cisely as represented, from a curious circum-
stance, which we regret we are not at liberty to
make public. In a day or two, perhaps, the
same official reasons for caution may not exist :
and then—but we say nothing at present. We
can be politic as well as others. The writer of
the above statement, for example, chooses to say
that " the subject of the King's conversation
with the Duke, is still a secret." A likely
matter, indeed, that it is any secret to him ! He
knows every word that passed, only he does not
choose to tell ! However, with all his caution,
he has let slip one most important fact ; viz.,
that at the conclusion of the conversation, " it
was observed that his Grace came to town instead
of returning to Strathfieldsay, according to his
original arrangement"! ! ! That man must be
, dull indeed, who does not understand what this
means. Our readers may depend upon it; his
Grace did not come to London for nothing,

At the time of the Barrow riot, a person of
the name of Stringer, of the Pasture Lane, in
this town, was there in attendance as one of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, at which time he received a
bullet just above the knee, that penetrated almost
to the skin on the other side ; " which, (as was
stated in sonic doggrel lines on the occasion,)
was d2iie by his comrade's gun," there being,
none other fired. He died on Thursday last of
apoplexy ; and strange as the circumstance may
appear, the bullet had remained in his thigh till
last Saturday (a period of about 32 years!)
when it was extracted by its appearance it must
have rebounded from a wall, as it is much
bruised, and the mortar may now actually be
seen in the cavities,--Leicestershire Herald,
July 19.

VOLTAIRE AND FRERON..--The mention of
Voltaire recals to memory an anecdote related to
me by the ingenious Faujas de St. Fond, whose
Travels in England and Scotland, and other
works are well known. Voltaire and Freron,
the journalist, were bitter enemies. When the
Merope of Voltaire (a mere plagiarism of Maffe's

journal, prophesied its damnation. Merope,
however, met with success ; and the author, to
take his revenge, published his lay, with a
frontispiece, in which an ass (Freron was repre-

Voltaire was so stung with this unexpected re,-

up all the copies, which he committed to the
flames, to obliterate not only the print but the
edition.—New London Literary Gazette.

Kelly, a watchman, said, that a few minutes before 12
o'clock he observed the prisoners standing at the corner of
Lawrence-street, and asked them why they were not in
bed ? Flynn replied, " Oh, it is early yet." In a few
minutes after he was called to the assistance of Mr. Twiss ;
and then, on proceeding to Lawrence-street, the prisoners
were gone,
Leonard, another watchman, said that when he at-
tempted to pursue the thieves down Lawrence-street, they
put out the gas-lights, and which, upon such occasions,
they always did, to prevent being taken.
The prisoners called a man named Flemming, who said
he was talking to Flynn a quarter of an hour before Mr.
Twiss gave the alarm of robbery.
Mr. Roz ordered Flynn and Fitzgerald to be remanded
for a week; but discharged Artist, as he was not clearly
identified.
Mr. Twiss said, that if the prisoners returned him the
watch, which be highly valued, an account of its having
belonged to his father and grandfather, he would give
them 51 and apply to the Magistrate for their discharge,
UNION-HALL—A young man, by trade a painter,
named Carter, was yesterday brought before R. J. CHAM.,
DEMI, Esck charged on suspicion of taking a hat, with a
felonious intention, from the Homan Catholic ehapelain the
Loadon-road, after Divine service, the preceding morning.
A Mr, Warwick, who was .at the chapel, stated that he
saw the young man take the hat in question, towards the
.close of the service, and walk away with it. The com-
plainant knew that it was his own hat, and followed the
defendant, and took him into custody.
The mother and two sisters of the defendant proved, that
when he left home on Sunday morning he wore as good a
hat as the one which was produced—the hat was almost
new—and he was incapable of so dishonest an action as that

The following record of a marvellous escape
from the wrath of a snake, will most likely be
classed among the tales of fiction, though it is a
record which can be fully authenticated. Two
or three men, a few days ago only, were proceed-
ing to Bathurst, in charge of some cattle. At
Mount York they halted for the purpose of .
taking refreshment. and rest. One of the men,
quite overcome with fatigue, threw himself on
the grass and fell asleep. His companions. left
him for some hours. On their return they found
him still asleep, and on going near to rouse him,
they were struck with the sight of the tail of a
snake, curling and writhing at his side, as if in
agony. They judged at once that the man had
been stung, and from seeing him remain still, they,
feared he was dead. They approached him,
however, and awoke him. The snake remained
motionless, except as to the tail, and on examin-
ing they discovered to their surprise that the head
of the snake was under a tuft of grass, upon
which the man had thrown himself, and the
blades, of grass had so wrapped over the snake as
to prevent him moving away, and he had thus
got smothered or strangled. The man who had
slept • upon the snake, do looking, at the dead
reptile, and seeing
.the danger he had escaped,
became 'covered with cold perspiration, and it
was some time before he could recover from the
effects of the fright the circumstance occasioned
to him. The snake was of a red brick colour,
and peculiar to Mount York, where the. same
kind .abound. The bite is very dangerous....
