any that we have witneffed of late yea's. It would
be ienpoffible to enumerate all that were deferring of
notice. A Torilbire Waejoaer, in hi* flock, contri-
buted largely to the hilarity of the evening. He
f emed to have brought to market with him, a load
of jells and repartees, and cradc4 his jokes with the
fame facility that his comrades did their whp. The.
Honourable Mr. BARRY acquitted liimiell very well

deviled au elate of sod. per annum, and his perfonal
property, to a Gentleman whom he had not teen for
a long (cries of years, but who formerly had been
his fehool•fellow ; leaving two fitters, one of them
living with him at the time of his deccafe, in indigent

Gentleman of Woodfloelt, who, on being acquainted
with the above circumaances, fought out the de.
feendants of the unfortunate fillers, and on the teth
intl. made over the elate to them, laying, " It was
