W

Of A-d-1 G-y.

E remember this gentleman when a Lieutenant in the Victory, under the command of Sir J. Norris; he was then repining, and lamenting, at his hard fate in life. Mr. G-y Lord B-n, and the other Lieutenants of the Ship, had fome altercation, with the Marine Officers, about the quality of the Wine laid in, for the Lieutenants Mefs. The former having bought un-excifed Claret, and the latter excifed Port. Sir John, who heard of this extraordinary difpute, fent his Steward to the Marine Officers, to defire them, to call upon him, for whatever liquors they wanted: we mention this circumftance, because Sir

J. ha

John Norris, was known beft among the feamen by the name of foul weather Jack. The late Sir Richard Lyttleton, and the celebrated and infamous Mr. C-n, brother to Lord C-n were two of the marine Officers.

Of William D'. G—y, Esq;

IN fpite of all that has, or can be faid, Mr. D'. G-y, has great abilities, and is an ornament to the profeffion #he is of, and we may venture to pronounce, without the gift of prophecy, that the day is not very remote; in which we shall fee him fill, one of the most important departments of the law.

Of Sir L-e D-s.

THE immenfe fortune this gentleman made during the late War, is a proof that to be Contractor General, is almoft as lucrative an employment, as to be commanding General, when Sir Le perceived that the Play in Germany was almoft over, he defired to reG

tire.

tire before the curtain fell; by this piece of address, he had a fure market for waggons, and horses, innumerable, at his own price; which afterwards, was named by the purchafers! perhaps this fingle hit, was a three score thousand pound affair. It however fell into the hands of a generous good-natured man; (who lives like a Prince) but whether the Prince acted like one, we will not take upon us to determine.

Of the Hon. R—d B

A Man of tafte and genius, yet, very re

markable for his FOLLY, but which, no

way, impeaches his understanding.

Of L-d K-1-m—y.

WE remember to have spent an evening twenty-five years fince, with this worthy Nobleman, and Mr. Quin,-Quin was fo delighted with his L-p's fprightly and agreeable converfation; that he declared the

next

next day, he would leave him a thousand pounds in his will: he did fo: without adding to it, as he did in the bequeath of his watch, which was to this effect, "I leave (according "to a foolish promise made) my gold re"peating watch, and feals; to Mr. Daniel "Lackey."

Of the Hon. Thomas T-d.

F all the good men this age has produced, we know not a more respectable character, than the Representative of the University of Cambridge.

Of Sir Ed W-p-e.

HIS gentleman is the only furviving fon of the greatest statesman this Kingdom ever knew, and he inherits all his father's private virtues.

Of W-m W-1-n, Efq;

THIS gentleman fucceeded his neighbour Lord O-ll not only to his feat in P——t, but to the Honor of his military command; fo that the town of J-h, and the country of S-k, may be justly faid, to have got out of the fire, into the frying pan.

Of J-n R-ts, Efq;

MR. Rts has found it more difficult to manage the Mayor of a little paultry borough, than he did to govern a first Minister. Of all coxcombs, old coxeombs are the most infufferable. It is no lefs ftrange than true, that frequently, the most able men are govern'd; by the most contemptible.

Of T-s S―n—n, Efq;

MR. S-n challenged L-d C-11 for faying he would not carry the J-h address to the K―g, in company with fuch a S-1
