There is a traditional anecdote concerning Mr. Boyle,
that he used to have it sometimes inscribed over his
door, " Mr. Boyle is not to be spoken with to-day."
This was very proper in one who was often engaged in
processes of the greatest importance, and which te-
quited an unremitted attention. Indeed, if literary
men in general could find a rational method of pre-
venting the interruption of tormenting morning
vi-
sitors, it would be of service to the prosecution of many
useful designs. When Sharp, the celebrated engraver.,
was employed on some of his best pieces, he used to
take lodgings at some distance from London, in order,
as he said, not be interrupted by his fri,:nds.
Two of the steam vessels that are to accompany
Lard CoCHRANE will be ready for launching in a fort-
night; they are built entirely of fir, and one is of 100-
horse power. -The whole will' be ready in two months.
It was in the Greyfriars' church at Leicester that
the body of Richard 111. was interred, after he was
slain in Bosworth-field. The body was meanly inter-
red in an old stone chest. The church became in the
course of time dilapidated ; and it is a curious fact, that
the stone chest in which " the crooked-back" tyrant
had once lain, served mimics afterwards in an inn for
a drinking-trough for horses. •
The young Duke of Botroutucit lately passed
through Dumfries, and, for the last week or ten days,
has been dividing his time betwixt the sports of the
field and the calm enjoyment of the beautiful scenery
around Drutulanrig Castle. Excellent preserves lie at
no great distance ; and, from what we have heard of
the state of the game on some part of the Queensberry
Estate, his Grace and suite cannot Rave been idle. An
honest farmer counted one morning two hundred sstrir-
cocks in one small field, perched upon and parcelled
over the different sto.:ks, and, if we may use his own
words, " They looked for a' the world Ake as Huey
tithe-proctors, come to find out whiik sheaf in every ten
it wad be maist for their interest to carry away."
A Gentleman gave a coat to a Chinese to serve as a
pattern by which to make a new one; there happened
to be a rent across the shoulder, and a large patch on
the elbow of the old coat : the faithful Chinese made a
large rent, and put a broad patch on the elboß oi the
new
