THINNING ALouD-The following amusing
aHecdote is related Of the Earl Of Dudley,
whose talents as a scholar, and great knowledge
OF foreign and international law. induced King
George the Fourth to select him as Secretary
Of State for Foreign allairs, without his having
ever been prominent man in politics, had a
habit oI thinking aloud which often placed him
IN very unpleasant predicaments. On one &C.
cosion, being caught III rain a gentleman Of

their journey the Earl said to himself; sup

The gentleman sitting 10y the side Of him, who
knew the failing OF his Lordship, said aloud, as
if missing, at Lord Dudley should give me an
invitation to dinner, I'll see him hanged before
will accept it," THIS speech restored the Earl
to consciousness Of what he had uttered, aud
he was go pleased with the manner 1t had been
met, that he offered the gentleman the appoint
ment OF Secretary of Embassy, which was,
however, refused,
