'We have not heard whether the sinecure
place of Lord Privy Seal of Ireland, the salary of which
the late Lord CoLcnEsxxs. enjoys for yea's, is to be
abolished or not.

The Earl of ABERDEEN is in treaty, we
understand, for the mansion and estates in tiro neigkbi.ur-

the property of the Earl of CHATHAX.

On Tuesday evening Mrs. ASHTON, the
proprietress of the I3erners Hotel, us she was paes;*og along
Berners-street, had her attention attracted by the crying
of au interesting looking boy, about the age of ten years,
who was seated at a door step. She was Induced to in-
quire the cause of his grief, as he was evidently not a
common beggar-boy. It appeared that he was a resident
of Canter bury, and that he h::d walked from thence for the
purpose of seeing his sistee, believing her to be residing in
Berners-street, lie had enquired at a'tnost every house,
but failing in his endeavours to discover the object of his
anzieus search, he gave himself up to despair and end
at such time Mrs, ASHTON perceived him. She took him
home with her. As one of her waiters came from Canterbury,
the boy's general representations were found to he accut-.lte,
and she was thence induced to afford him shelter. The
story having got cireu/ated yesterday, many persona in the
neighbourhood also interested themselves in behalf of the
poor little wanderer, and means will be taken to find his
sister, or to iorward information of his present shelter to
aintet bury.

EXTRAORDINARY But -,ire of a
person named BAYLIS, residing at No. 1 Lewisham.
street, Westminster, was on Saturday fortnight delivered
of no less than seven children ! Tb fact has come to us
in so authentic a shape, tint, strange as it may appear, we
cannot bring ourselves to dur.bt it. Dr. GoLotlic, of St.
Martin's-lane, was, we are informed, the aceouclieur. The
first child was Apparently full-grown and alive, though it
soon after expired; the next two were the size of children
is the Seventh month. They also expired immediately
after they were born. After these two the female was de-
livered of four children not exceeiiing three inches long,
but with the limbs sufficiently (armed. The four embryos
were enclosed in a kind cif tack. Three children are emu-
mon enough ; four, even five, we believe have been known,
but seven is unparalleled in the history of secouchernents,

ANECDOTE OF THE LATE GEN. IIMON
FRASER, WHO was xxLmtn AT THE BATTLS Or SARA-.
TOGA, IN Augarca, 1777.—Sometime 'Oetween the years,
1755 and 1760, a certain tall fierc;:,-Itoking Captd;,-.1 was
the bul!y of the Argyle Coffee-:nouse; he had the charac-
ter of being an excellent awardsmon, and his menacing
air had made him the terror of all the young officers.
One cold afternoon, as he was sitting with some half-a-
doter, young officers by the fire, himself occupying the
beat seat, he suddenly rose up, took off his cocked
hat, laid it down upon his chair, and, swearing a tremen-
dous oath, added, that he who moved that hat mu,t
fight him ;he then left the room. Captain, afterwards
General I<:il4A,lEn, (son of the late ALEXANDER Faasra,
Ralain) entered the room shortly after, lifted the hat
from off the chair, laid it on the table, and took the vacant
teat. On this, one of the officers, who had heard the
' fighting Captain's denunciation, asked FRASER if he knew
to whom the hat helonged. He said he did not, and was
told that it was Captain hat, and that he had
said that he who moved it must fight him. " Did he."
acid FRASER, who was an exee,lient swordsman. (hav-
ing been bred in France), 44 did he," and,
rising up,
he very coolly liftedthe bat off the table, and laid it
on the fire. The bully i-eturne?, in time to get a
glimpse of the remains of his ill -fated chapeau as it disap-
rared amid rue burning embers, and, advancing into
the middle of the room, he, with a martial strut and voice
of thunder, demanded, 4' 'Who did this?" .4 I did it," re-
plied FRASER, with a sardonic grin, but continuing to
keep his seat in front of the grater--.' I did it " " You
did it, Sir !" said the bully, giving a trem-nduus @trip
with .his foot, and liking as if he would annihilate
FRASXR. " Yes, I did it, Sir." On this, the hero of the
Argyle Military Coffee-1:m.1,e exclaimed, " Then the wan
that can do this, can do anything ;" and, turning r.mnd
ttpMi his heel, he made a speedy exit, and was never to
be seen again in that quarter of the city. —Liverpool
