Dit. Fit anm.i v The Liverpod Standard of
Nov. 10th, publishes at Icnitl), a lecture de
livered on Wednesday evening, Nov. I3th,at
the Royal Amphitheatre, Cireat Charlotte
street, by the Rev. Hugh McNeile, on the life
and character of Dr. Franklin, in behalf of the
Printer's Pension Society, in London.
Tito house was densely filled, and many more
wcnld have been present had there been room.
The Etago was boaiitilu.ly decorated with the
Fnjiish and American Ami's. Tho identical
printing press at which Dr. Franklin worked
in London, as a jonr.ieyman, in the year 1725
0, and which for the last three weeks had been
gratuitously exhibited to tho public by John R
Murry, Esq. of New York, prior to its bring ta-
I ken to America and delimited with the Philo
sophical Society of Philadelphia, 'was placed tin
the right of tho Stage, and created general at
tention. It was worked previous to the deliv
ery of the lecture, and impressions of a verba
tim copy of a letter written by Dr Franklin lo
the Rev. George WhitetielJ, were given to
the audience.
A newspaper was shown that Was printed in
the days of Franklin, in Huston, and also a
number of the lWlon NoitMi, of July 15th.
The enormous size of the la'ter, placed along
side the former, created considerable amuse
ment. The lecture was delivered at the re
quest of a number of the citi'.iT.s of Liverpool
and America, uud the proceeds amounted to
250.
A Mississippi paper states tha a Mt. ft win,
one of the newly elected anti-bond member of
Congress was indebted to the Union Rank of
j Mississippi, upwards of 5lH,IKKI dollars, all of
, which, except a small sum paid in depreciated
! papvr, remains unpaid, lie is an out-and-out

"A ill'iirc at Syntnt, but a dab nt law," ;
played oil" a joke on Ixiih his p iternuland ma-1
ternal grandsires, yesterday, which is worthy '
of being PiiAViM7.ro. Pmth of the eld folks'
sport perukes, as they have a lawlul right to j
do, for nature long since refused to afTord a co- j
vering !ir their craniuniM. Roth of them dined
nt tin; house of our juvenile hero's father, nnd '
after dinner both oPihetii sat beside each other, :
and tallied intently of times that were. The
love of their mutual grandson peetned to be '
equally shard by thetn lioth. He mounted,
the knee ef one, pulled the other by the coat :
button, or gently rubbt-d bis hand overbi-isfl- j
very beard. With u!l his apparent afleotion,
there was a j
'I.ani'hirig ib vil in his 'ye," '
which told that mischief was brewing in his I
inind. IVhen he threw the old men complete
ly oil their guard, he managed to tie to both of
their wigs a tiring which string he tied to
their chairs. ,
When night apprmehed, and immediately '
::ftcra heavy shower, both ot the octogenarians
ros'p, tomakc their way home-; bl:t lo ! their
wigsrcrpexrtfully clnngto'the 'cha:.T were they
had been sit'tng. They formed themselves
into a committee of two, to di-;over the cause
of the obstinacy of their wigs, mid were not
long in ascertaining it was all to be attributed
to their hopeful grandson. As if the mere ty-
ing of the wigs to the chair was not enough to
make the joke 'Complete, he labelled them
"The w,! of the H-ig!,f,.r the mkt of the Union."
