application in Madrid for the reimbursement of the
dollars, wrecked some time ago in the Tay, sloop of

PUNCTUALITY.—The late Mr. SCOTT, of Exeter,'
who died a few days ago, travelled on business till
about 80 years of age. He was one of the most ce- '
lebrated chat octets in the kingdom for punctuality,
and by his methodical conduct, joined to uniform di-
ligence, he gradually amassed a large fortune. Fur
a long series of years the proprietor of every ion he
lrequented in Devon and Cornwall knew the day and
the very hour he would arrive. Some time since, a
Gentleman on a jocrney in Cornwall stopped at a
stnall inn at Port Isaac to dine. The waiter pre.
seated him with the bill of fare, which he did nut ap-
rove of, but observing a fine duck 'roasting, " I'll
loore that," said the traveller.—" You cannot, Sir,"
:t plied the landlord ; " it is for Mr. Scott, of Eire=
ter."." I ktiow Mr. Scott very we!l," rejlined the
Gentleman; " he is not in your house,"--" True,
Sir," said the landlord; but six months ago, when
he was here last, he ordered a dock to bj ready for
him this day, precisely at two o'clock," nd. to the
astonishment of the traveller, he saw the old Gentle-
man, on his Rwissanie, jogging unto the inn-yard about
minutes bettne the appointed tiwe.
