Total in five years

The account tor she year ending 1818 has pat yet
been presented, and the rapences of that period are
Ji
not, of course, included in the above. There Sr.
now going forward, improvements in the town re.
sidence, more comprehensive than any which have
hitt WO taken place. An entire front, in fact, is
pulled down. These two are necensarily curtailed
from the foregoing statement. Notwithsoantling
however, such deficiencies, the general total makes*
pretty round suns : —56,2961. in five years—and
during the economical Administration of Mr. Peel t!
It sheuld, however, in candour, be admitted, that
thin, extravagant as it may appear, is 2000 less then
what has beets paid out of the Droits of the Ad-
mi ralts , far the furniture and repairs of the {lasi'.
lion at Brighton. If the Regent can spend 58,3601.
u; one residence, why OEIO4 not an Irish Lord
Lieutenant spend 56.2961. upon Imo?

AN fiQuistra.—A Correspondent furnishes as
with the tollowit,g picture of an Exquisite, alias a
Dandy, in distress Walking along the side of
one of she squares last week, it was my fate to follow
an Excinisite—stocked and stayed, laced and hound,
colleted and pilloried, in ill the fashion ; so slender,
so straight, awl so stiff, that a man of reasonable
strength might have used it as a walking stick. This
thing, tiut wiling a wery nice perfumed handkerchief,
happened to let it drop—the question was then how
to get it up 'gala—Steil, it could not, and I con-
fess I enjoyed its distress; for though for any other
female I would have raised the handkerchief with
alacrity, I wished to see hoe this. creature would
help itself. Then thus it was; —having eyed the
handkerchief askance, somethiog like a magpie
peeping into a marrow hone, it gently %predated nut
Its legs, and lowered the body between them, as in a
sitting posture, it brought the left hand in contact
with the object sought. What shall we say to the
association of ideas, when I assure you, that looking
on this unmanly figure, brought into my mind the
Knights of AO, who, once unhorsed, could never,
from the weight and stiffness of their armour, hope
to mount again ?" N. B. It is found remarkably
convenient in such a case for the Esquisite to carry
a cane or stick with a honk at the end, as he may fish
.up any thing he unfortunately drops without break-
ing his back or exciting the pity and risibility of the
spectator a.
On Monday Mr. CHAD, who lately returned from
