Court, in which he stated that, having, in 1847, become
acquainted with Miss Talbot, a ward of the Court, he had
since that period taken every opportunity of recommend.
ing himself to her, and had made a proposal of marriage
to her, to which she had given consent, subject to his
lordship's approval. The application which he now made
to his lordship was to direct that the usual reference
should be made to the Master to approve of the marriage,
and also to approve of arrangements for settlementa.
Mr. Rolt said he appeared for Dr. Doyle, who wished to
express his entire concurrence in the proposal, and who
would, moreover, have been ready to acquiesce in any
such arrangement, if it had been made at a much earlier
period. The Lord Chancellor: You may take an order.

It will be seen by an advertisement in our paper to-day
that Brown's Preston ale (which is progressing rapidly
in public estimation) may be had in quarter-casks of nine
gallons each, and as it is what is termed racked ale, it is
always brilliantly fine.

MAGA'S EARLY DAYS.—Mr. Wilson, however, corn.
plained from the oueset that the new megazine, notwith-
standing its double columns, allowed no sufficient space
for authors to develope their thoughts. Either the articles
must be left imperfect, or there would be a want of variety;
and, instead of desiderating good Mr. Pringle's stores of
reserved copy, he very decisively meintained that any man
in a state of tolerable health, and disposed for literary
amusemen, might write an entire number in the course of
two days. He it was who recommended carrying on the-
same article in chapters from one month to another, and
would print all poetical extracts in diamond type, against
which Mr. Mackenzie vehemently protested, and occa-
sionally would have a double number when the stores of
unusual material became too cumbersome and extensive.
Moreover, Mr. Wilson ab iiiitio took possession of an
enormous ledger, originally intended for very different re-

muscle and nerve, and call into life and action. Thus,
betwixt him and Mr. Lockhart, a preposterously long list
was announced of articles already written and accepted by
the editor, many of which, though " putative" then, did
afterwards appear. As a lilliputian jest may be recorded,
and being recorded in the' list with the paternity of a
" Sonnet on seeing a spark fall from the shepherd's pipe,"
I forthwith wrote the brfore hypothetical sonnet, and in
the next number it was printed, along with a strange figuro
of a tobacco-smoker from an old wooden block, in good
keeping with the grotesque verses,—.Memoirs of a Lite-
rary Veteran.
DINNER WITH AN ALBANIAN BEY.—Ten servants. in

run Atuantan dress, came in at once, for all the world like
an opera ballet. One of them places a little stool on the
ground, upside down, as much as to say that is not to be
sat upon ; others fix thereon a large flat plate of tin, or
some similar metal, with a spoon or piece of bread, to
each diner (there were two guests besides myself); then
an ewer with water is banded to each person by one of
the domestics, who kneels until you have used it and the
Brum towel. Soup. somewhat like sago and vinegar,
was the first dish placed before us; and here my good
genius basely forsook me, for endeavouring to sit cross-
legged like my entertainers, I somehow got my knees too
far below the pewter table top, and an ill-conditioned
violent cramp seizing me at the unlucky moment in which
the tureen was placed_ on the table, I hastily endeavoutei
to sit►-

..,Lnaraw the limb, but unsuccessfully—gracious !-
sidelong went the whole table, and all the soup was
wasted on the ground ! Constantly as a Frank is called
on to observe the unvarying good breeding and polite
ease of Turkish manner, this was a most trying proof of
the endurance of those qualities. Nobody spoke, or even
looked, as if anything had gone amiss ; one of the " corps
de ballet" wiped up the catastrophe, and others soon
brought in a new bowl-full of soup, as if nothing had
happened. lJor was my awkwardness alluded to except
by Giorgio, who, by my orders, offered a strong apology
for the stiffness of a Frank's legs in general, and of mine
in particular. But I took care not to conitnit myself by
unexpected cramns •Einv
