EPIGR 111.

We find the followleg in the first number of " Clark's Scrap
Book." a periodical publication which has just appeared. con-
sisting solely of selections; and to which the Editor modestly
quotes, as a motto, the sentence of Mobtesquieu :—" 1 have
" only made a nosegay of culled flowers, and brought nothing
•" of my own but the thread which ties them!"
How D. D. swaggers! M. D. rolls !
I deem them both a brace of noddies:
Oid D. D. has the cure of souls,
And M. D. has the care of bodies.
Between them both, what treetment rare
Our souls and b wiles must endere !
One has the core, without the care:
And one the care, without the cure!

Naval preparations continue in oar arsenals, and more
especially in our largest ships. The St. Vincent, of 120
guns, is fitting at this port with extraordinary haste; a
great many shipwrigles are employed upon her, and it is
expected she will carry a flap.—(Plymouth Jountal.)
Extract of a letter from Havre :—."l' he crews of two
American vessels lately lost nigh Cherburg, and same
passengers. embarked frrom thence for this port in a small
passage a few days since, and, melancholy to relate, the
vessel upset in a squill, when 44 human beings met with
a watery grave."—(Sontlfampton Chronielc.)
It is a very gratifying duty, to state, that the Framework
knitters have very nearly aecoinpliihed their object ; evety
hosier in the trade is paying the price of 1819, with tle
exception of three !mows in Nottingham ; and a confident
expectation is entertained, that they will soon accede to
the general regulations of the trade. The framework
knitters themselves, are now uniting together, in societi.s
after the manner of sick clubs, in order to raise a fund to
prevent the necessity of any distressed workmen, from
offering to take work at reduced prices. Ten of these
'societies have been established in Arnold, and measures are
taking, to organise them generally throughout the counties
of Nottingham. Derby, and Leicester.—(Nottiegitam Re.
visa.).. . . . . . .

On Wednesday morning a meeting tank place in the neigh-
bourhood of the Own, between U—o F—o. a foreign r, who
has resided in this country since he was banished from his na-
tive soil by Napoleon. for 103 independent principles, and
-- o—, Esq. the Editor of a celebrated weekly publica-
tion. The parties exchanged shots without effect, and the
affair was then amicably terminated. We understand a lady
W 44 the cause of the disagreement.

The foreign gentlemen Is an Italian, end has produced some
elegant specimens of prose and poetry, which in the opinion
of literary men, do not yield to any modern writer in that
beautiful language.
• Uut.uctiv DisarectierTmeNT.—A few days ago, eyoung
woman of Sheepshead, finding herself pregnant by the man
she loved, asked him whether he intended to make her his
wife, hie reply was, " Yes : but he had no money."—She
and her friends mustered up the needful ; the ring was
procured and every thing prepared, ou her part for the
wedding ; the morning being arrived fur its solemniza-
tion,: he arranged it with her and her friends to go one
way to the church, and he another; she gave him the
ring and what money she had; they parted to take their
different routes to the altar, bat he, alas! did not make
his appearance at all, and the unhappy, and deceived
woman, was obliged to return and sit down in sorrow.—
