.ANBCDOTICA L.

LORD BUTE'S UOOD FORTUNE.
The late Mrs. iloscawan, widow of the Admiral
of that name, so distinguished in our naval annals,
whose connexions enabled her to collect many cu-
rious facts in the course of a long life, has often
affirmed, that Lord BUTC's first personal introduc-
tion to the Print. of WALES erigiaated is a very
singeler occident. That Nobleman,as Is well known,
married the only daughter of the celebrated Lady
WoRTLIT MONTAOUL, by whom be had a very
numerous family. She brought him, eventually,
likewise a large landed property ; bet as her father,
IMr. WORTLEY, did not die till the year 1761, and
as her brother, the eccentric EDWARD Woanar
MONTAGUE. lived to a much later period, supposed
down to 1777, Lord Buss, encumbered with a Bom-
ber of children, found his patrimonial fortune very
unequal to maintain the figure befitting bit rank in
life. After passing some years in profound retire-
ment, on his estate in the isle of Bute, he revisited
and took a house on the bunks of the
Themes. During his resideoce there, be ass in-
duced to visit Wiser [Laces, about the year 1747;
but as he either did net at that time keep e carriage,
or did not use it to convey him to Use race-ground,
he condescended to accompany a medical acquaint-
ISOM in other words, the spothecery who attended
his Lerchhip's family, who carried Mee there in his
Own chariot.

F ICIE, Prince of WALIS, who thew resided
at Cliefden, houciered the races on that cloy with his
presence; where a lent was pitched for his accommo-
dation, and the ►eception of the Princess, his consort.
The weather prosieg rainy, it was proposed, in order
to amour his Royal Highness before his return home,
to make a party at cards; bet a difficulty occurred
about finding persons of sufficient rank to sit down
at the same table with him. While they remained
ender this embarrassment, somebody observed that
Lord had been seen on tie rsce•gronnd ; who,
as being an Earl, woold be p►culiarly prope► to
make one of the Prince's party. lie was soon fiend,
informed of the occasion which demanded his sites&
9111CP, brought to the tent, and presented to Faint-
arca. When the company brbke up, Lord BUTZ
thought of returning back to his own hoese: hut his
friend, the apothecary, bed disappeared ; and with
hie had disappeared the chariot, in which his Lord-
ship had been brought to the races. The Privies was
so sooner made acquainted with the circumstanc►,
than he insisted on Lord Butt's accompanying him
to Cliefden, and there pasting the night. Ile com-
plied, rendered himself eatremely acceptable to their
Royal Ilighneeses, and thus laid the foendation,
en-
der a succeeding reign, of his political elevation,
which glowed originally, in some measure, from
this strange contingency.

Ivco(NEST DEBTORS' ACT.
Mr. H. DAVIS presented a Petition from the
Mercients, Alattoraeterers, and Tradesmen of the
City of Bristol, splint the magmal of the losolsest
Debtors' Art.

Mr. PRO IVEROE said, that the trading part of
the cornmeeiry were unaniweesly against the Act,
free the highest to the lowa. The Act had we-
&shiftily led to a spirit of adventure in the coon-
try, which had been highly prejodicial to public
morals.

Mr. Alderman WA IT II MAN said, that be should
reserve for soother opportunity the fell delivery of
his sentiments open this subject. He roes on Otis
occasion to corroborate the statement of the two
Gentlemen who . had just addressed the lines.,
Namely, that the feeling was strong and universal
against the existence of the law alluded to. That
Iselin was indeed quite jolt, for It was notorious
that this law gave birth to an eutrasagent spirit of
adventure and gambling, end encouraged practices
stied)? inconsistent with the jest principles of trade.
In order that every information should be laid before
t►e Noose that coeid envoi° gel& its judgment, and
to meet the observation made on a former evening
as to the elects of the law *listing previous to the
present Act, he stated his intention to muse, after
the present motion was disposed of, for a retern of
the names ef ell persons committed for debt within
the last 20 years, distinguishing those who had Com-
promised with their creditors, and its. those who
had been released by the dialing or any previous In-
solvent Act.

Mr. Alderman WOOD rose to state what he
deemed a sunicieut reline to call for the repeal or
amendment of the 'Rioting law. By this law it was
held out that creditors should have a claim epos any
property acquired by the insolvent after his libera.
