TAE ANCIENT GREEK AND Roman TABLE.
The difference between the diet Of he an
clients and that Of as moderns, is very strIa-
iag. The ancient Greeks and Romans
used no alcoholic liquor, it being unknown
10 them; nor coffee, nor tea, nor choco-
late, nol sugar, nor even butter for Gaen
informs US he had seen butter but once in
his life. They were ignorant Of The grea.
ter number of our trophica' spices, as Glove,
nu,mag, mace, ginger, jamaica pepper,
cayane, pmento. They used neither buck.
wheat nor French beans, nor spinach, nor
sago, ,apioca, salep. arrow root. nor potato
or lis varieties nor even the commoa, but
a sort of marsh grown bean nor many of
our fruits, as the tamarind, orange, nor
American maize. Ga the other nand, ey
ate substances which we now neglect-:he
mallow, the herb OK tongue, The sweet
acorn, the lupin. They used greatly r'd-
ish, lettuce sorrel. They liked the flesh OF
wild ases, Of little dogs, of the dormouse,
ofthe fox, of the bear. They eat the flesh
of paraquets, and other rare birds, aud H.
ards. They were fond of 4 great many
fish, and shell fish, which we now hold in
no esteem. They employed as seasoning'
rue and assa(atida,-Dr. Dicks Diet, and

FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPERS.

Honest Grant.-The immediate ances-
tor ofLord Geneg was among his COM
mercial connexions known by tae familiar
honor .ble cosnomen Of Honest Charles
Grant," and which he acquired by the iol'
lowing circumstances -
At an early pariud of his career rs a
merchant. the tide of wealth, which had
gradually flowed in upon him, suddenly
ebbed, and left him stranded, having lost
all bat reputation, which remained unm
peached and unsuNlcd When his affairs
were wound up, such was the confidence
which his integrity, thus tested, had pro-
duced, that he again commenced business
and was emineu,ly successful. The first
use he made ofhis newly-acqulred wealth
was to pay the whole Of his former credI.
tor. in full, with interest on their respective
debts, although they had legally no claim
on him, having accepted the composition,
and given him a full discharge. This was
not all. He was guardian to The Children
of an eminent civilian, and The property OF
this family had been swallowed up in the
general wreck. He not only repaid this
sum with interes', bot at Il subsequent Pc
riod he considered that, as fvitafu! guar.
dian, he was bound to improve his trust by
ali possbi, means, and thlt on this prncI,
pie the family entitled to compound interest
for the whole Time, which, AZ the then very
high rate Of interest in India, amounted to
a very considerable sum He computed
the amoun. and actually pad the whole ad~
di,onal sum to the family. and this al time
when his own family was by 10 means fully
provided lor, and whca in al Ordinary
mind, their claims wonld have successfully
competed with the mere suggestions oicon-
science.

Shira, and massacred almost 5000 Russian
troops. The Russian fleet sailed from tho
Crmca with $4,000 men, intended for
Georgia. Aus;ra, France, and England
