A D1NJSER. The following story from the novel of Herbert iMilton, is founded on fact ; such a tri k having been actually played at a house m Lt-icestersquare, by ..the celebrated The odore Hooke, author of " Sayings and Di- ;. " Talking of boiled fowls, said Nettley, 4 what think you of my finding myself, the fjther day, at a dinner in. Russell Square." " Russrlf what?" exclaimed three or foui beaut; " lrnpos&iblc.,, ' ,True though, howevery, continueu Charles j ,s atid moreover with a huge sot disant sucking pig placed close to me, as a side dish in the second course.' i VLia you can iwe limn w in uu, demanded Sydney $ "or did you j quit the vile cook shop forthwith," r .rv II 1 1. - - .t' ,1... nld.a rtilt ; Really, Chaties,' added another, "if vou frequent those kind ot places, one must ake the precaution :of talking to you, as Pyrarous and Thisbe did, through a hole iu a wall? How can ypupermit such low persons to invite you ?' " They did not," quietly answered Net tley ; I' dropped in by accident." "What sad . misfortune, what egreament de V esprit humain, could have carried you into the land of the Philistines ? You,who are sudi a perfect . Bursch " I Why, "replied Alfied, in answer to this query addressed to Charles, " Nettley's dtffidence'is sd gratihat 1 had better relate the circumstance for him ; which I am ena bled to do from having witnessed in a mea sure, hs commencement and end." i Alireu narraicu ture nearly ar follows : i( As I was dressing one day in the sum mer, to dine with one ot my. constituents, who lived in the fields near Bloomsbury Square, and to whom I was obliged to sa crifice myself once during the season, Chas. Nettley, who would receive no denial from the valet de chambre, walked into my dressing-room, declaring his intention of dining with me. ' I am sorry Charles,' said I, but I dine out 5 my carriage is at the door.' 'Then order me a cutlet, a few truffles, an apricot tart, and a bottle of the light Bor deaux; and I will amuse myself until you return r We will then gb down to Brook's together.' ' Its rather unfortunate, my good fallow, but Marine is gone to Cram well's, to assist his cook in making prepara tions for the dejeuner on" Friday, and I have given permission to all the servants to go to Astley'si' ' Hem J where then are -you guittg purielf Intq the cityi Take me with you ;ypur toaprboiler orsngar-xe- finer, or whatever he may be,' will be en chanted to see me. v Some marriage specu lation, eh. Alfred Meet Mglech mein by menials in my plans and in the i rxt, they are the - people "with whom J neither choose to take any liberty myself, or permit thm any pretext or familiarity with me.' i, Well ben,' rejoined Nettley, after a little consideration, ' I will drive with you, I do not feel hungry ; and as I have not seen the new farce of the Gastronome tan Argent f your carriage can set me down at the play, and 1 will sup with you at Watieii?s' after wards To this I assented, and To a few- minutes we were rattfin? dawn Ozford-st. as fast as my high-steppfng roans could convey us. As we approached the vicinity of the plebiah squares, NetUey pulled the check-string and requested the coachman to slacken his pace, during which time he care- lully examined the windows on either side the street. As the vehicle entered Russet Square or Parchment Park,- as Nettley had baptised this handsome portion-off tbe metropolis; he exclaimed,. 'There,. ikerej that.wiTtio. Pull up, coachman, at' the nnuse wmtbvia lighted where in fact v large party were seen, through the Venetian blinds, assembling in the dinine-roora. The drive, has given me an appetite said 'He: there I shall dine; so) John, rap very loud, and announce-me as Lord Nettley.' Pt you know the people, ;said I ? Que Dieu me en preserve P was the reply. ' Vel! then, you canrrot be serious in your inten-. tion of going in ? VVhy, .this is' carrying your mi froid too far ; they will kick you ut of the door, or throw you out of tho window f You must be mad i ' Never, was more in my senses, or in better order to at tack that turbot ; look at the rogue, how he blushes at the idea of bur being acquainted! However, there is no time to lose ; the door opens, so adieu; call for me as you return ; and if you wish to see how jolly these good people live, come in- I will introduce you!' In spite of my remonstrances, he jumped from the carriage, and in another second, the door of the house closed upon him. naturally concluded that Nettley would quickly be turned out of the house, and di rected my coachman to wait at the angle of the square; but there being no symptom of his appearance, I drove on, dined, and at 11 o'clock returned to ask if my friend waA . still there. The windows were open, and X saw the whole party, men and women, still in the drawing room, arid to my astonish oientj Charles Nettley at the top of the ta ble doing the honors, while shouts of laugh ter echoed even into the street. In fact9 when ! sent in to say I was waiting, tho whole party positively insistednot only up n his remaining, but upon my entering J Being disposed to witness the feats of Alasv ter Nettley, in I went, and found him in the act of finishing one of his extempore songs, which had been received with great ap plause. The individual, who was a candi date for the" sbievaltyj. appeared as mpcla delighted as a king on his birth day "wilb the panegyric of a Poet Laureate. In short, it was with some difficulty that, in the course of two hours, we were able to tear ourselves from the good people, men, women, and children accompanying us' to the carriage, and insisting upon, the Hon. Mr. Nettley' considering all their houses in future as his own; for Ibis purpose his pockets were fill ed with their respective cards, while the exclamations of 'Wonderful Genius! a se cond Mathews ! quite an Omer 1" j " Odysee, of course !" said Nettley inter ruptiugjiim. "Yes, indeed, jl flatter my self I never shall want a dinner east of Tottenham-court road; next to the Bonnssus, am in higher estimation than any foreign production which those .secluded people ever saw. Egad I I believe that they would have lent me a few hundreds on personal security, if had sung them another round of compliment." I " But how did . you contrive to establish yourself at first ?" demanded one of the gentlemen; "you must have looked like Daniel in the Lion's den." . " VVhy, there was a good deal of gnash ing of teeth and clattering of trenchers,9 replied; Nettley ; (5 but in 1 walked after the footman, who announced me as Lord Net ily; took possession bowing, of a vacant place; unfolded a napkin; turned round to the sbe at the top oi the table, and com menced by saying, ' I fear, Mrs.. Crump ford, 1 3m very late ?' then starting from my seat, Good God f I do not see Mrs. Crumpford ! where, am I? what have I done ? Lady Nettley's coachman has made a mistake; what shall I do ? 'Crumpford replied the man at the bottom of the table : God bless you my Lord i he lives in Fins bury square.' ' Heavens!' said J. ' what shall 1 do ? The carriage is gone I aai so shocked -it must appear so strange I' - " Not a bit, not a bit, my Lord; if your Lordship will do us the honor of remaining here and partaking of our snack,' rep 1 i d the same monster, whose name, Jorrocks,! have read on a huge brass plate on tbe door, 'we shall be much flattered.' 4 Do, my Lord, pray 1' exclaimed bis wife.
