When wit runs in so harmless a vein as in the fol-
lowingjeu d'esprit, it must amuse even those whom
it makes so free with : " Mr. VA.NsiT rA HT, previously
to his elevation to the Upper House, as Lord BinCLEY,I
was for sometime deliberating by what title he should
be designated. He had a predilection for one that
might terminate in mouth, possibly from his partiality
to Lord SIDbIOUTH. Some tme intimated that he
might gratify his wish, and at the same time comme-
morate the country of his origin, by taking the title
of Van Os. lint this, though it went" trippingly on

The difficulty was mentioned in conversation to Mr.
CANNING, who suggested, that in compliment to his
aritluxetical tutor he should take the title of Coccsa •
