ERSKINE, coming out of the House of Commons, was met'
by another member going in, who asked him who was sties,

SOMETHING IN A NAME.—It is singular, but it is matter
fact, that there are persons who have a passion for being at laa
and contrive to be never out of it. Of this description was
Mr. Bolt, a wharfinger on the Thames. In the cause-paper
the sittings after every Terra, Bolt's name regularly appear
either as a plaintiff or a defendant. In a cause at Gund-ila
Mingay was counsel against him, and spoke of him in ve
harsh terms for his dishonest and litigious spirit. Esrkine
counsel for him : " Gentlemen," says he to the Jury, "t.
plaintiff's counsel has taken very unwarrantable liberties wit"
my client's good name. He has represented him as litigiyie
and dishonest: it is most unjust. He is scifremarkably of an t
opposite character, that he goes by the name of Bolt-upright.
This was all invention.—Fraser's Magazine; An. .4 My Co's
temporaries, by a Retired Barrister."

THE BULLFINCH, whose natural notes are weak, harsh, and
insignificant, has a greater facility tjian any other bird of learn'
ing human music. It is pretty evident that the Germans, wh°l
bring vast numbers of them to London which they have taught
to pipe, must have instructed them more by whistling to theo
than by an organ ; and that their instructioirs have been acconl'
'Allied by a motion of the head and body in'acCordance with
the time ; which habit the birds also actiiiire, and is no doub'
of great use to them in regulating their song. In the sail)
manner, that wonderful bird, Colonel O'Kelly's green parrot?
which I had the satisfaction of seeing and hearing, (about the
year 1799, if I recollect rightly,) beat the time always with it!
foot, turning round upon the perch while singing, and marking
the time as it turned. This extraordinary creature sang per
fectly about fifty different tunes of every kind—God save tbe
king, solemn psalms, and humorous or low ballads' of which ill
articulated every word as distinctly as a man could do, without
ever making a mistake. If a by-stander sang any part of that
song, it would pau#e and take up the song where the person hal
left oft without repeating what he had said. When moultini!
and unwilling to sing, it would answer all solicitations by turf

EXTRAORDINARY CLERICAL LONGEVITY. The parish
Braid-island in the county of Antrim, which contains 5,64 A

than two centuries—there have been but four Ministers! the
first was the Reverend Edward Bryce, appointed in 1611, an°
died in 1636; the second, Mr. Cunningham, appointed, io

LITERATURE AND ART.—According to the supplement to
Bent's Literary Advertiser, which contains a list of the new boa)
and principal engravings published in London, during the ye,
1832, it appears that the number of new books is about 1,16 Z
exclusive of new editions, pamphlets, or periodicals, being 7A
more than in the year 1831.' The number of engravings is 7.
(including 40 portraits,) 15 of which are engraved in the 108
manner, 57 in mezzotint,. 7 chalk, 9 aquatint, and 11 in lithe'
graphy. The number of engravings published in 18,31 was 92
(including 50portraits,) viz.; 18 in tine, 50 mezzotint, 10 chalk'
5 lithograph, 6 aquatint, and 3 etchings.
AN OLD FRENCH GALLANT,—The Courrier des Theatres 11):1
lates the following extraordinary circumstances An o''l
Marquis, whose name we shall not give at present, took, lir
known to Mademoiselle Mars, a lively interest in our incor';
parable actress. In his mode of displaying it he was origin
and singular. One day he determined to write to her; tlO
was, perhaps, a liberty pardonable in an old man. But be
went further, and added billets-doux, which were not so accept'
able, and his epistles were returned, He repeated his offence,
with a similar result. Long silence followed this attempt to
open a correspondence, and it seemed to be forgotten, when
the gallant Marquis, on alighting one day from his carriage' ,_,ll
the Place des Victoires, broke
,his leg. It would naturally
supposed that he would wish, under such circumstances, to re:
ceive surgical assistance as expeditiously as possible, but thli
was not the case. He forbade any one to touch him, and sell'
to Mademoiselle Mars an account of his misfortune, statiai
that he would be removed and attended only by the media;
gentleman of the great actress. The latter, at once astoms
