The sweets-breathing queen then declar'd, " upon honour, "Her best thanks were due for their waiting upon her;" Then kindly invited-the story so goes― One and all the next spring--to the Feast of the Rose. The Game of Chance, imitated from the French. One night a youth and maiden met, The following ludicrcus circumstance occurred on Tuesday week at Bristol:-A couple of Jews being apprehended in the act of stealing several articles from the stables of the White Hart Inn, were hauled into the yard by two stout fellows, whither the whole of the fraternity of the currycomb were immediately summoned. The long beards of these disciples were then stuck together with pitch (their hands being previously tied behind them); and while thus face to face a profusion of snuff, mixed with hellebore, was admi nistered, which caused them to sneeze in such a manner, that by the frequent and violent bobbing of noses one against the other, a copious stream of blood issued from either noştrils, while the enraged culprits were kicking and capering about in all directions. Extraordinary Character.-Mrs. B. a respectable old lady, residing at the west end of Oxfordstreet, returning from church a Sunday or two ago, called on her way home on an undertaker, and saying she did not expect to live very long, wished to know what he would charge for burying her. The undertaker, of course, asked where she would like to be interred, &c. when she said she wished to be laid in the family vault, mentioning the place (in a western county), but that she was not going to have any one to follow her, and did not wish any finery-merely a leaden coffin, with a hearse and a pair of horses. After much talk and reckoning on both sides, the price was fixed at 50l. to include every expence, and a written agreement to that effect was entered into. The lady's presentiment proved not to be erroneous; for on Monday last she died. The night before she was complaining much at the dearness of every thing, the rise of bread, &c. and felt very uneasy at an unnecessary expence she had lately incurred, viz. a chaldron of coals, which had unfortunately but the day before come in, and which she had countermanded three dif ferent times. Since her death, 2001. duty has been paid for the money she had saved (within a year or two) out of her yearly income. Her eldest son has had 18,000l. per annum since the death of his father. General Graham is a native of Perthshire. The earlier part of his life was spent as a private gentleman. A severe calamity, the loss of a beloved wife, as we understand, tore him from his family estate, and sent him a wanderer over the continent about the age of 30. By change of scene, he hoped to soften, if not to subdue, the grief that overwhelmed him. He wandered from place to place, and as may well be conceived, chose those tracts that were less visited by travellers journeying in full health and spirits to find new sources of amusement or dissipation. It was in these solitary excursions that he became acquainted with the country on the banks of the Rhone, and particularly with the country near Toulon; a knowledge of eminent service to our army, then at Toulon. At that period he was in that city, not intending to embrace the military profession, but anxious to render his local knowledge useful to his countrymen. He proffered his services, when it was soon found that nature had endowed him with all the qualities necessary to constitute a great Captain. To this merit Lord Mulgrave, then Brigadier-General, paid the following tribute:" Lord Mulgrave begs leave, on this occasion, to express his grateful sense of the friendly and important assistance he has received in many difficult moments from Mr. Graham, and to add his tribute of praise to the general voice of all the British and Piedmontese officers of his column, who saw, with so much pleasure and applause, the gallant example which Mr. Graham set to the whole column, in the foremost point of every attack."-(See the Gazette Extraordinary of the 10th Nov. 1798.) The Rev. Mr. Hagamore, of Catshoge, Leicestershire, died the 1st of January, 1776, possessed of the following effects, viz.-7001. per annum, and 10001. in money, which (he dying intestate), fell to a ticket-porter, in London. He kept one servant of each sex, whom he locked up every night. His last employment of an evening was to go round his premises, let loose his dogs, and fire his gun. He lost his life as follows:--Going one morning to let out his servants, the dogs fawned upon him suddenly, and threw him into a pond, where he was found breast high. His servants heard his call for assistance, but being locked up could not lend him any. He had 30 gowns and cassocks, 100 pair of breeches, 100 pair of boots, 400 pair of shoes, 80 wigs, yet always wore his own hair, 58 dogs, 80 waggons and carts, 80 ploughs, and used none, 50 saddles, and furniture for the menage, 30 wheelbarrows, so many walking-sticks, that a toyman, in Leicester-fields, offered 81. for them, 60 horses and mares, 200 pick-axes, 200 spades and shovels, 74 ladders, and 249 razors. Daniel Lambert's Epitaph.-The following epitaph is copied from a tomb-stone, placed in Martin's burying-ground, Stamford, to the memory of the well-known Daniel Lambert: "In remembrance of that prodigy in nature, Daniel Lambert, a native of Leicester, who was possessed of an excellent and convivial mind, and in personal greatness he had no competitor. He measured three feet one inch round the leg, nine feet four inches round the body, and weighed fifty-two stone, eleven pounds, (per stone of 14lb.) He departed this life on the 21st of June, 1809, aged thirty-nine years. As a testimony of respect, this stone is erected by his friends in Leicester." Quin's Soliloquy, on seeing Duke Humphry at |
