POLISH GaLLSITRY....-In former thous, it
was usual among the nobility, after banquets, for the host
to show his guests his skill in firing a pistol, by leaking th,
heel ofthe shoe on his wife's foot his target. This is vet
singular, for the modern Poles consider devotion to the tail
sex the glory of arms; and they carry their notions of gal
lantry to so extravagant a pitch, that they sometimes
table take the shoe or the boot off the foot of the lady of th,
house, drink wine out of it, and pass it round.
PETERIIFIELD.,—.A hoax was played off or.
Tuesday on the sexton of this place. In the morning here.
carved a letter, informing him that a funeral would
through for interment in the Isle of Wight, and desirts.z
that the church bell might be tolled muffled, beginning at
nine in thej morning. The bell was tolled aeconlingly
but, as no procession arrived, it is conjectured that the ft-
meal alluded to was no other than that of Lady Rocca°.
rough, whose remains were in such a state of decomposition
as not to admit of remold, and were therefore interred in St
Stephen's Chapel, Westminster.—Hanspakire Chronick.
One of our city functionaries, who has, with
credit to himself, filled a prominent situation for many
years, and is as well known as Show Jamie, applied to our
good-natured Provost for a passport, saying he was going to
travel. To please the old man, it was at once given. To
his Lordship's surprise, in a few days after, he received
letter franked by the Premier of Great Britain, from the le.
dividual, detailing his adventures in the great city. The
following extract Is not the most singular part of this singe.

LOAD NORBUReft Last.—Died, on Wednes-
day, the 27th of July, at his house in Dublin, John Toler,
Earl of Ncebury end Norwood, In the 86th year of his age.
He was &venerable relic of those good old limes, the shadow
of whose glory, now about to be extinguished for ever, he
could not be expected to survive. As a punster be was
unrivalled ; as &Judge it may be a consolation to his friends,
as well as to the public, to know that be has not left his
match upon the Bench. Long may his memory reign
there without a compeer ! Mercy droops not beside his
tomb, nor will Justice, Eloquence, or Learning, stretch
themselves in his grave. He leaves no " insuppliable in.
Iterstiee in the science of British jurisprudence, and tLe
country takes comfort in his fall, from the recovery of a
good round peraion. His title and estates descend, in geed.
kind, to his sous, one of whom is Lord Norwood and Nu.
bury ; the other Earl Norbury and Viscount Olathe.
Peter Heneby and Isaac Bethel will have to east lots for
his parenomasde mantle.
