A nobleman in England, who kept a great number of servants, reposed considerable con- fidence in one of them, which excited a jeal. ouzy in the others, who, in order to prejudice their waster against him, accused him of be- ing a notorio ster. Jack was cailed up e#nd closely interrogated, but he denied the fact, at the same time declaring that ke never played a card in his life.

Peter the Great, while in England, was as ehy and unwilling to be seen as Peter the Wild Boy. He was present at a ball given at Kensington, by King William, in honor of the birthday of the Princess Anne, afterwards Queen; or, rather, be may be said to have scen the ball, for his shyness confined him toa smal) room, from which he could see without being seen. When he saw King William on his throne in the House of Lorde, (a sight he had expressed a particular wish to see,) it was not from the gallery, nor from below the bar of the House, but ‘hoa a gutter on the house- top, from which he was enabled to peepthrough a window into the House. He retired from this unpleasant peint of view sooner, it is said, than he intended ; for he made so ridiculous a figure (says Lord Dartmouth, who was pres- eut,) that ncither King nor Peers could forbear laughing He was taken to all the London sights ut ‘that time of any moment—to the lion's and armeries in the Tower, to the monu- ments and wax figures in Westminster Abbey, to Lambeth Palace, to the masquerade on the night of the Temple revels, and to the two theatres in Drury Lane and Dorsct Gardens.
