ANECDOTES RELATING TO QUEEN
ELIZABETU.

There are some very interesting an
ecdotes told Of Queen Elizabeth and
her subjects 1t might interest a few
Of the readers Of this paper to hear
them. Ii is said that once when the
Queen was going to her boat that she
came to q large mud-puddle, and as the
ladies in those days wore white satin
slippers, Queen Elizabeth stopped a
moment, as if not knowing what to do
when Sir Walter Raleigh gallantlg
stepped forward and threw his beanti-
ful satin cloak over the obnoxious pud-
die for the Queen to step on; she inn
mediately knightcd him, and from that
moment he was numbered among her
great court fayorites On another oc-
casion Queen Elizabeth laid wager
with Sir Walter Raleigh 1t was that
he was unable to weigh the smoke
from his pipe. The latter, determined
to win the bet, took the tobacco before
be put it in is pipe, and weighed it !;
he then smoked it, and weighed the
ashes subtracting the weight Of the
ashes from the original weight Of the
tobacco, he concluded that the differ
cnce had evaporatcd into smoke. II is
needless to add that he won the wager
There is an anecdote told of the Earl
Of Essex and the Queen. 1t is said
that one day when the latter had Of
Tended her Majesty, that she boxed his
ears, an insult which the Earl returned
by clapping his hand on his sword, as
though she had been a man, and swear.
ing he would not have taken that, even
from his father, An instance of the
strong attachment that existed between
the Earl Of Essex and Elizabeth, is that
she gave him ring, and told him that
when he needed assistance to send
it to her At length Essex foolishly
endeavored to excite the Londoners TO
rebellion. For this he was condemned
to death, but the Queen would have
pardoned him, had she received the
ring, but it never came, and offended
at Essex's obstinacy, the Queen with a
heavy heart left him to his fate. But
the unhappy Earl had been betrayed
He had given the ring to a lady to be
sent to Elizabeth, hut unfortunately
the ring fell into the hands Of lady
whose husband hated Essex, conse-
quently the Qneen never received the
taisman. She afterwards heard of
this troachery, but alas, it was too
late. There is also an anecdote told
of the Queen and Sir Henry Beding-
field When she was the Princess and
was in the tower, he was her iaier,
and treated her very cruelty, when she
became Queen aud he knelt at her feet
10 ask forgiveness for past conduct, she
said "lhe Queen Of England does not
remember that which happened to the
Princess Elizabeth"

OHIO ana :U.ury.

The chamberof Commerce Of Cine cinuati,
on 3 the 10th instant, unanimously adopted
favorlng Me 'sgalising Of all
specified rates ofinterestin in written contracts;
six per cent. to remain the legal rate in the
absence of a contract. The representatives
Of the, city in. the General Assembly were re-
quested at the same time, to bring the mat
ter before that body
We commend this action to the considera-
tion of the few gentlemen, well-meaning but
mistaken, who desire to advance backward
and re-establish, IN this Slate, the very laws
which Ohio endeavors to repeal. While
every other State is pressing towards the
abolition of all restrictions upon the borrow
ing and lending Of money, it Is sought to
face South Carolina to the rear, and renew
the vain attempt to force capitalists to lend
their money at Iess than the market rate
