In one of BURNS'S Convivial Meetings, at a fa-
vourite public houfe in Manchlin, where the land-
lord, John Dow, who was called " a wet dog," was
one of the party, he was requefted to write the
landlcrd's Epitaph; when BuRNs wrote extempore
upon a pane of glafs the following :

- .
Here lies 7obstxy 4mt, who for his religion,
If ony ane wants tor to ken,
They =tun follow the Carle to the ither wary
17( r here jaw, P'grox had n..ne:

A eltwoo his memento mori
A fidlif Willie:tit, the delight of his foul,
And Port itis celeftial glory.

An elderly Lady at Brighton, remarkable for
her attachment to the canine race, a few days ago,
on obferving fymptoms of difeafe in one of her old
favourites, which had been her companion for the
laft twenty years of her life, difpatched one of her
fervants for an Apothecary. The dog, in the in-
terim, was enveloped in flannel, and carefully laid
on one of the belt beds. Or, the arrival of the
Apothecary, fuch medicines as were deemed ne-
celfary were immediately adminiflercd ; but all
would not do, for poor PhilGs the next morning
breathed her laft. The firft violence of grief on
the melancholy occafion having fubfided, an Un-
dertaker was called in ; and the dead animal, dur-
ing the three following days, flirowded, and de-
corated with flowers, in a handfome coffin, was ex-
pofed to the numerous vifits of the Lady's friends,
and at length, with great funeral parade, interred
in a garden, but a moderate dillance from the
!inure, where a (tone, with the following infcrip.
tion, is eretied over the grave :
" Here lies poor PluTi,, dead and cold,
Lamented in her death ;
Her Mittrefs dear filed many a tear,
When the religed her breath.
For twenty years the iltipp'd and play'd, • •
And frolick'd like a Limb;
Upon her knees (he oft flpt tea,
From her Karel,' lily hand."
Tuefday morning, about ten o'clock, the work-
(hop of Mr. HUNTER, coachmaker, in Little Port-
land-(beet, Oxford•market, ffiddenly gave way,
and, in its fall, the crafh was fo loud as to be heard
at a confiderable diflance. Fortunately no perfon
was in the inlide ; but feveral carriages, which
flood there for Pale or repair, have received confi-
derable damage. The building, we hear, had
been ercUed but a fhort time.

Tuefday morning between two and three o'clock,
a ferions affray took place in Angel-court, Grub-
'freer, between a party of Irith, which proceeded
from jealoufy and drunkennefs. One woman,
far advanced in pregnancy, was beat down and
trampled on by another woman, and would in all
likelihood have been murdered, but for the inter.
potition of the patrole, who took the woman un-
der' their proteelion, and conveyed her to her
lodgings, where the lies in a dangerous Rate--
The oft-ding panics abkoadcd.
