up, and seeing a paper drop from his Lordfhip's hand, he pick'd it up, and with good addrefs gave it to his Lordship; which he received in a very obliging manner, and at the fame time made the young gentleman a prefent of the other.

Of S-r A— W——e.

S -r A-e being fure of N-k for himself, fpent his money, and time, at j-h in behalf of his Son: he was jockey'd in both! no man knows more Chriftian Names than Sr A-e, or ufes them to lefs purpose, a man who is equally civil to every body! generally cares for nobody, nor any body for him.

Of Col. L-—1.

IT has been obferved, that where there is most fenfe, there is least courage; but neither one, or the other; can account for this gentleman's late extraordinary maneuvers. It

feem'd

feem'd to us, downright rafhness in him, and folly in his advisers.

Of Mifs V-——n.

T is an old faying, that one person may fteal a horse with more fafety, than another can look over the hedge ;-It is verified in the hard fate of this young Lady; her affection for her S-r, the fingular marks of attention fhewn her, by her Sifler's Friend; her youth; and the reluctance with which he acted, after her fufpicions were rouzed; do all tend to leffen her guilt; and why fhe, who had there favourable circumstances on her fide, fhould be made a C-t Exile, while another grown old in vice; fo long ftood her ground; we cannot account for. Has no other Lady in that walk of life but Mifs V-n' deferved to be fo Chid? fure-ley there has.

Of Sir C- F—.

T is well this red ribband booby is a Methodift, for it requires method to controul a body of men, and to adjust methodically the immenfe fums of money which annually ought to pass through his hands..

Of L-d N-h.

WE remember a Quack Doctor whofe name was Weft; who told his auditors

that they might,

Go Eaft, go North, go South in vain,
But Weft was the man who could cafe

their pain!

Now it is to be hoped we may change the capital point and fay

Go Eaft, go Weft, go South in vain,
N-h is the man who can ease our pain!

Of

Of Sir Ed H-e.

A very inoffenfive good kind of man, who certainly is not defficient in point of Courage, but from the knowledge we had of him while he was young; we are not convinc'd, that he is quite the thing, to prefide where he does, now he is old.

Of Captain Crookshanks.

THIS gentleman was fufpended by a Court Martial in the War 1745, during the King's pleasure. And that fufpenfion ftill deprives the public of one of the most able feamen in the British Navy! we will not except the wheezel faced C-k-d who fought his ruin.

Of A-1 K—s.

THE Man has got his Mare again.

Of G-1 E--t.

Hatever real Prowess, the Corps under

the Command of this fortunate Officer were extolled for abroad; it is certain their behaviour at home, did no credit to their officers, in particular; nor the fervice in general: Their Maneuvers, on HoundflowHeath; and the infult offered a woman, and a gentleman at Hyde-Park-Gate prove it. The latter was encouraged! not fuppreffed! and perhaps their services would not have been fo extolled, but because the private men were chiefly Taylor's! we wish all their officers were gentlemen; and that one in particular, had endeavoured to punifh in a most exemplary manner, an affaffin whom he fo fhamefully concealed, and protected. *

Of C-1 B -e.

WE refer our readers for fome particulars of this gentleman's conduct, to the Inhabitants of Prefton. His Corps we presume is not compos'd of Taylors, but of Mafons.

*Though this charge has been difcredited; it is a Fact: and fome of the Officers of that Corps have Honour and Courage enough to avow it.
