THE REV. MR. IVATEZIO 11,  (EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.)  A tomb is about to be erected ever the remains of the late singular and unfortunate Rector of Little Stukely, and is now exhibited on the premises of the lapidary artist, at Huntingdon.—. According to immemorial wont and usage, a copy of verses is appended to the inscription, which, in point of style, taste, and orthography, are on a par with the " uncouth rhymes alluded to by Gray. This branch of English literature has Certainly remained stationary during the last century. We transcribe the whole of the inscription :  Sacred to the Memory of the Rev. Joshua Waterhouse, 8.D., nearly 40 years Fellow of fiatherine flail, Cambridge, Chaplain to. his Majesty, Rector of this Parish, and of Coton, near Cambridge, who was inhumanly murdered in this parsonage' house, about ten o'clock on the morning of July 3d; 1827, aged 81. Beneath this Tomb his Mangled body :s laid Cut Stabb'd and Murdered by Joshua Slade ; Ilis ghastly Wounds a horrid sight to see, And hurl'd at once into Eternity. 'What faults you've seen in him take care to shun. And look at home, enough there's to he done ; Death does not allways warning give, Therefore be carefull how you live." (I have adhered to the capitals and spelling of the original.) •  The Lord High Admiral, at Poitsmouth, ran his cabriolet against a post, "Ah ! my Royal shipmate," exclaimed au old tar, " where was the rudder when you fell foul of the lugger ?"  • A servant at the London Inn, Taunton, was tried and acquitted at the Sprinc, Assizes for Somerset, on suspicion of stealing 75/. which had been lest dnring the night from the writing-desk of a traveller left in the commercial room. The liability of the landlord to make good the loss has since been referred to an eminent Barrister on the Western Circuit, who has awarded that the landlord is liable for the loan—Exeter Alfred.  . . _. . ~ Yesterday morning, at balf-past five o'clock, the premises occupied by Mr. Anderson, fruiterer, 11, Newington-causeway, were diecoveted to be on fire, and shortly after the flames burst forth with great fury, and communicated to the adjoining house of Mr. Lee, stationer, both of which were totally eonsumed. The floor-sloth manufactory on the other' side was also slightly injured. It is a most happy circumstance that, notwithstanding the rapidity with which the flames spread, the premises being to say, in old, and principally composed of wood, none of the inmates received the slightest injury. The calamity is attributed to the carelessness of a child left to light the fire. Mr. Anderson, we understand, was insured in' the County; A thisi r. iLnesetainneet • THE ,11ethat Phoenix there VALIANT andw was nUnion.oisw oannt sol‘ is, rightautevre: r y , . body has heard the anecdote of the Irish soldier, who, having taken three prisoners, and being asked by his officer how he had been able single-handed to accomplish such a feat, swore most lustily that he had surrounded them ; a countryman, however, in the neighbourhood 0 Crosthwaite, threw Paddy's deed uompletely into the shade a few days ago, by capturing not less than five tailors, one tinman, and a watchmaker ! These valiaut heroes had gone into a wood somewhere in Crosthwaite or the neighbourhood—the exact whereabout our " deponent sayeth not"—to gather nuts, and as Providence has kindly loaded the trees with the tempting fruit, they were not long in providing themselves with an ample store. The owner of the wood, however espied the marauders, and thinking his claim to the nuts superior to any other man's, determined on making them deliver up their spoil, and accordingly went up to the startled tailors and demanded instant delivery. The poor knights of the thimble, having neither bodkin nor lapboard wherewith to defend themselves, threw down the nuts at the feet of their one antagonist and fled ! Nay, in such a hurry were they, that one of them left his pillow-ease behind ; and their conqueror declares, that. had they not run so quirk, he would have stropped them together as they do onions upon a stick, and bundled 'them off to Kendal in the same. cart with hie geese.— Westmoreland Advertism  'c'tr .24t in.
