1200 guineas. His route will be through Horsham
and Chichester, from thence through Winchester into

On Wednesday evening, the 24th ult. there was a
charitable ball at the Mansion-house, Louth, to which

a gentleman went on horseback, and rode into the
roots where the company were &Mein, for a wager
of ten pounds; although his conduct was highly in-
decorous, the impropriety cannot be considered so
reprehensible in him, who may be said to have per-
formed the office of champion for ten sovereigns, as i•
the person who proposed the wager.
A young man importuning his mistress to elope
with him, she said, " I shall have no objection if you
will give eta what you have not ; what you can never
have, and yet, what yon can give me." What was it
. she asked for ?—A husband.
Whose little monster is that ? said an absent man
in company, pointing to an ugly little girl ;—" That's
my daughter, Sir," replied the mistress of the house.
Ab ! what a 'meet child !"

son of dashing exterior, called, in a chaise, on Mr.
Wood, grocer, Smith-street, Chelsea, and informed
him, that be had just taken a house at Battersea, end
was recommended, by a friend, to deal with him ; at
the same time giving an order for goods to a consi-
derable amount, saying, as we are scarcely settled.
and in immediate want of some of the articles. I will
take a portion with me, and you can send the remain-
der in the morning. Mr. IV. proceeded to put up,the
goat. but not much liking the manner of his new cus-
tomer. begged to know who this friend was to whop
he was so much indebted. This app_eered to embar-
rass the gentleman, but, after some hesitation, be ex-
claimed—ti—n the fellow, I can't think of his name.
Mr. W. then refused to part with his goods without
the money. upon which, be indignantly asked Mr. W.
if be thought him a swindler. and, taking a 101. note
from his pocket-book, desired Mr. W. to take the
amount of his bill. and give bias the change. lb. W.
immediately discovered it to be a forged one, anti un-
thinkingly returned it. when the fellow thrust it in
1100c,,kri jumped into techchalet, sad rapidly drove
Mr. W. has since enquirsd at Battersea. and as-
certained that no such person bad taken a house there.

past five o'clock, the greatest alarm was occasioned
asanagar the inhabitant, of the village of Bromley,
IMiddlesex. in consequence of a violent explosion of
gunpowder:A/Agog place. On inquiry. it was found
that a young man named Leafsley. who lived footman

linto the kitchen for the purpose of striking a light.
but on looking into the tinder-box, lie discovered there
were no matches ; he therefore took a small portion
of gunpowder from a tin caenister, which contained
about three pounds of that article, and placed it on a
skeet of paper on the table, together with some tinder,
and then struck the steel with the flint, and the paper
ignited. A spark by some accident communicated to
the cannister, which stood near himeand on his taking
held of it to remove it, the contents instantly exploded.
the cannister was shattered to atoms, and the unfor-
tunate man was thrown a considerable distance; both
his eyes were nearly burnt oat of his head, the thumb
on his right hand was blown off, and his left arm and
hand were so dreadfully lacerated, tl.at it is feared
anipteation must take place. Mr. and Mrs. Haggett
who slept on the second doer, were thrown from their
beds, and every article in the room thrown down, and
nearly all the windows were dashed to pieces, and
the unfortunate footman was immediately conveyed
to the London Hospital. where he now lies a pitiable
object. and yesterday was not expected to live.
