VIROILIAN LOTiItRY.-;WiLEWbOD,4. in hit le*Me.-
moirs," has the following very interesting and :affeet-
ing story, relating to the Sotto Virgi'lance •
Whilst Chjules I. was at Oxford, his Majesty went one day to
see the Public Library, where he was siteivtod among other linois
a Virgil, nobly pripted and exquisitely bound. The Lord Falk.
land, to divert the King, would have his Majesty make a trial of
his fortune by the Sores Virgiliance, an usual kind of clivination
In ages past, made by opening a Virgil. Whereupon, the King:
opening the book, the period which happened to come up was
that part of Dido's imprecation against eas, /Eneid,-lih. iv.
115, &c. pan of which is thus translated by Mr. Dryden .
Oppress'd with numbers in the unequal field,
His men discourag'd, and himself expell'd,
Let him for succour sue from place to place,
Torn from Ms subjects, and his son's embrace !
King Charles seemed ooncerned at this accident : the Lord
Falkland, who observed it. would likewise uy his own, fortune
in the wane manner, hoping he might fall upon some passage that
could have no relation to his case, and thereby divert the King's
thoughts from any impression the other might make upon him ;
but the place Lord Falkland stumbled upon was yet more suited
to hit destiny than the other bad been to the King's, being the
following expressions of &ander upon the untimely eath of his
ion Pallas, ./Eneld, lib, xi. Ter. 1.59, atc.—l4 Non Mee, 0 Palls,
siederas promina parend," &c. thus translated by Mr. Dryden :
0 Pallas ! thou hut fail'd thy plighted word.
To fight with caution, not to tempt the sword :
I warnl thee, but in vain • for well I knew,
What perry youthful ardour: would pursue :
That boiling blood would carry thee too far;
Yount as thou wert in dangers, raw to war.
0 curst essay of arms, disastrous doom,
Prelude of bloody fields, and fights to come!

The COURT asked Mr. Pollock if he would call for
judgment in such a case?
Mr. POLLOCK was not at liberty to decline it in‘the
absence of his client.
The Cotter then said, that certainly there had beet-
an undue disposal of the Insolvent's property-, to bring
the case under a penal clause of the Act; and there=
fore ordered that the Insolvent should be remanded
for eight weeks from the date of the filing of his Pe-
tition (9th Octobet).
John Bristow Hison was opposed by Mr. Mem
on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Doyly and the parish of
Lambeth. The Insolvent's case had been referred on
a former day to the provisional assignee, whose re-
pert stated, that, in September, 1820, the Insolvent
married the woman who kept the Ship public-house,
for which she had paid no rent for some years pre-
viously, and which had been left to the parish. of
Lambeth for charitable purposes. Before her mar-
riage with the Insolvent, the woman, then a widow,
sold the house for four hundred pounds, witil pirt of
which she paid some of her debts, and the remainder
she gave to Insolvent, who laid it out with more in
the purchase of another public-house which he settled
on her. A bill had been filed in Chancery by the
parish, to recover the arrears of rent, and the Master
reported 2801. to be due. The object of the present
opposition !was to have the Insolvent remanded, on the
ground that the settlement of the second house upon
his wife was a ft audulent one ; but the Court said it
.was a case- in which they could not interfere, and
therefore ordered the Insolvent to be discharged.

JAMS Johns,. who had been examined on a former
dair, and_ opposed by a creditor named Walmsley,
came pp to receive the judgment of the Court.
'girlie 'C U& CosimtssroNEn, in pronouncing the
judgment, said, the facts of the case were short and
clear.- The Insolvent' had dcak with his opposing
creditor till he had /contracted A debt of 3801. which
his creditor refused to increase. The Insolvent, to •
induce him to give further credit, deposited with him
the'leise of his house, 'and promised to assign it.—
The-creditor was induced by this promise to extend
credit to the Insolvent till his debt amounted to 5001.
and then the Insolvent sold his house and left Mr.
Walmsley unpaid. The judgment of the Court was,
that the Insolvent should be remanded for nine
months from the date of filing his Petition.

In the Court of King's Bench, yesterday, I%Tr.
SCARLtTT moved for a link., calling on Mr. Noel,
a Gentleman of Yorkshire, to shew cause shy a
criminal information should not issue against him,
for sending a letter to Mr. Wilson, a neighbouring
'Gentleman, tending to provoke him to fight a duel
Mr. Noel wrote a letter to Mr. Wilson, charging him
with having instructed one of his servants to warn
him off his premises, to which Mr. Wilson returned
a civil answer ; but at length Mr. Noel wrote, ac-
cusing Mr. Wilson of having procured the deputation
of the Maror of flardlington for himself, which ire
had promised to obtain for him, and added, that " he
would insult him publicly wherever he met him."—
The Corm' granted a Rule to shew cause.

Monday evening, a person representing himself as
a North Country Gentleman, took up his lodgings at
the Windmill Inn, St. John-street; he paid his bill
in the morning, saying he should return at noon ; and
•as he sat at dinner, asked the waiter what he owed,
.and on being told, he pulled out a banditti of so-
vereigns and shillings and paid it ; but when -the
waiter left the room, the villain decamped with tv o
'silver table spoons .and a silver pepper box. It is
'remarkable that at the time he was in the house, a
circular, with a fill description of his person, offering
.a reward of Si. for his apprehension, lay in the bar,
,which was sent round by Mr. Blake, of the Saracen's
Head, Friday-street, from which glee he stole two
pair of sheets, two silver sugar sitters, a silver tea-
spoon, 'and a' fair of candleiticks.

• Monday night a most singularly daring robbery
d borklary was committed in the house of the
- en. Admiral LA Kg, Baker-street, Pcirtman-square.
It appeared that some daring thieves obtained an
entrance-into the premises by getting over the area
rails and breaking a pannel of the kitchen door with
apparently a Cedtre-bit, and after ransacking the
lower apartments, they proceeded through several
rooms above stairs. and took from them every port-
able article of plate that could possibly be taken
away; they then entered the butler's pantry, and
toOk.the valuable dinner and breakfast services of
silver plate,..wortb about three hundred pounds.
villains left behind them two centre-bits, a gimblet,
cord, and crow-bar. The whole of the plate beais
the crest of a man in armour on horseback. Inicr-
mation of
.the robbery was yesterday given to Mr.
GRIFFITH, one of the Magistrates of Mary e
Office, who instantly ordered Williams, the officer, to
make diligent inquiry after the stolen property and
apprehension of the depredators.
*A worthy-Clergyman in Fife, having occasion, in
the course of his sermon, to employ the word cram-
trophe, he explained to his attentive _hearers, that it
signified the end or tail of anything." An honest
woman, whose vocabulary was rot very extensive,
considered the explitiotion 'a valuable addition to her
stock of knowledge, and stored the word in her nr
mory, with the resolution of making use of it as she
found occasion. Some days after, seeing her Minis-
ter ride past, she called to him--. 4 Sir, there's a whim
kyle at your horse's catr
