THE BACHELOR'S THERMOMETER.
THE BACHELOR'S THERMOMETER. No man, according to Samuel Johnson, sits down to depreciate himself, even in writing a letter; how, then, can we expect any man to gibbet him- self in immortal type. The following paper, en- titled, "The Bachelor's Thermometer," was evi-j dently never intended to see the light. It may, therefore, be viewed as probably the most sincere stlf memoir that ever was penned. ( Ætatis SO.—Looked back, through a vista of ten years.— Remembered that, at 20, I looked II pOll a man, of SO as a middje-agedman; wondered at my error, and protracted the middle age to 40. Said to ,myself, Forty is the hge. of wisdom." Reflected generally upon past life wished inysell 20 again; and exclaimed, If I were but 20. what n scholar I would be by 30 but: it's too late now." Looked in the glass; still youthful, but getting rather fat. Young says, a fool at 40 is a fool indeed 40 therefore must be the age of wisdom. St.-Read in the Morning Chronicte that a watchmaker in Parisj aged 3!, had shot himself fur love. More fool tlie watchmaker Agreed that nobody fell in love afier 20. Quoted Sterne, The expression rALT, in love, evidently shews love to be BENEA TH a man. Went to Drury-lane saw JVliss Crotch in Rosetta, and fell in love-with her. Re- ceived her ultimatum none but niat-riinoiiians need apply. Was three months irtakiiig up my mind (a long tinve for making lip such a little parcel) when Kittv Crotch eloped with Lord Buskin. Pretended to be very glad. Took three turns up and down the library, and looked in glass. Getting rather fat and florid. Met a friend in Gray's.illll, who said I was evidently in RUDE health. Thought the compliment ruder than the health. 32.—Passion for dancing rather on the decline. Voted sitting out play and farce one of the impossibilities. Still in stage-box three nights per week. Sympathized with the public in vexation, occasioned by non-attendance the other three; can't please every body. Begin) .to wonder at the pleasure of kicking one's heeis on a chalked floor till four in the morning. Sold bay mare, who reared at three car- riages, and shook me out of the saddle. Thought saddle- making rather Worse than formerly. Hair growing thin. Bought a bottle of Tricosian fluid. Mem. a fluttering unction." 33—Hair thinner. Serious thoughts of a wig. Met Col. Buekhorse, who wears one. Devil in a bush. Serious thoughts of leuing it alone. Met a fellow Etonian in the Green Park, who told me I WORE well; wondered what he could mean. Gave up cricke) club Oil account of the bad air about Paddington could not ruil in it without being out of breath. 34.—Measured for a new coat. Tailor proposed fresh measure, hinting something about bulk. Old measure too short; parchment shrinks. Shortened my morning ride to Hampstead and Highgate, and wondered what people could see at Hendon. Determined not to marry; means expensive, and dubious. Counted 18 bald heads in the pit at the Opera. Stvmuch the better the more the merrier. 35.—Tried on an old greatcoat, and found it an old little one-cloth shrinks as well as parchment. Red face in putting 011 shoes. Bought a shoe-horn. Remember quizsing my uncle,Georg,e for using one then young and foolish. Brother Cltarles's wife lay in of her Bt.h child.Served him. right for marrying at 21 ;iirR Gf discretion to;>J. limiting belts for gentlemen hung up in glover's windows. Longed to buy one,: but two women in shop cheapening mittens. Three grey hairs in left eye-brow. 36.—Several, grey hairs in whiskers; all owing to care- lessness in manufactory of shaving soap. Remember think- ing my futher an old man at 3(5. Settled the point Men grew old sooner in foruit?r days. La:d blame upon flapped waistcoats and.tie-wivs. Skaited on the Serpentine. Gout. Very foolish exercise; only fit for boys. Gave skaits to to Charles's eldest SOil. J>7. Fell in love again, lliither pleajed to find myself not too old for the passion. Emma only 19. What tiien ? Women require protectors; day settled; devilishly fright- ened .too late to get off. Luckify jilted. Emma married George Parker' one day before me. Again determined never to marry. Turned oif old tailor, and took to new one in Bond-street. Soine of those fellows make a man look ten years younger. Not that that was the reason. 38.—Stuck rather more to dinner parties. Gave up coun- try dancing,. Money, Musk' certainly more fatiguing than formerly. Fiddlers play too quick. Q uadriiles stealing j hither over the thanue). Thought of adding to number of GRAVE gentlemen, who learn to dance. Dick Dapper dubbed me one of the ovER-growns. Very impertinent, and utterly untrue. 39.—Quadrill es rising. Wondered sober mistresses of •■families would allow their carpets to be beat after-that fashion. Dinner parties increasing. Found myself gra- dually To urnxii-iNG it towards top ot'tab)e.'Drc:ided ULTIMA TIIUXE of hostesses elbow. Good- plaeesfor cut- ting turkies; bad for cutting jokes. Wondered why I was always desired to waik up. Mettwoschoot-feitowsat Pimlico: both fat and red-faced. Used to say at schoo] th..t they were both of my :ig« what iies boys tell 40.— Look back ten years. 'Remember, at 30, thinking 40 a middle-aged man. Must have meant 50. Fifty cer- tainly, the age of wisdom. Determined to be wise in ten years. Wished to learn music and Italian, Tried LoGtEn. "Pwotiirl not do.—No defect of capacity, but those things should be learned in childhood. 41.—New furnished chambers.—Looked in new glass; one-chin too much. Looked' in other new glass; chin still double. Art of gtasHJlakingoll the decline. Sold my horse, and-wondered .people could find any pleasure in being bumped. What were legs made for ? 42.— Gout.again; that disease certainly attacks young people more than formerly. Caught myself at a rubber of whist, and blushed. Tried my hand at original composi- tion, and found a hankering after epigram and satire. Wondered I could ever write Ipve-sonne-ts-. Imitated Horace's ode "Ne sit ancilla. Did not mean any thing serious, tho.ug;h Sus-ni certainly civil and attentive. 43i—Bought a hunting belt. Braced myself up till ready to burst. Int.es.!in.e.s..not to be trifled with threw it aside.—Youpg men, much too small in the waist. Read in Morning Post an advertisement, Pills to prevent Corpulency bought a box; Never the slimmer, though much the sicker. 44 —Met Fanny Stapleton, now Mrs. Meadows, at Bul. lock's Museum. Twenty-five years ago wanted to marry her.—What an escape Women certainly age mncli sooner than men. Charles's eldest boy began to think himself i.- sa man.—Starched cravat and a cane f What presumption! At his age I was a child. 45.-A few wrinkles about the eves, commonly called crow's feet. Must have caught cold. Began to talk poli- tics, and shirk the drawing-room. Eulogized Garrick saw nothing in Kean.. talked of Lord North. Wondered at the iicentionsness of the modern press. AVhy can't people be civil, like J.unius and John Wilkes, in the good old times? 46.—Rather on the decline, but still handsome and in- teresting. Growing dislike to the company of young men all of them talk too much or too little. Began to call chamber-maids at Inns '■ My dear." Thought the money expended upon Waterloo-bridge might have been better employed.-Listened to a howl from Capt. Querulous, about family expenses, price of bread, and butcher's meat. Did not care a jot, if bread was a shilling a roll, and butcher's meat fifty pounds a calf. Hugged myself in "single, blessedness," and wished him a good morning. .47.—Top of head quite bald. Pleaded Lord Grey in justification. Shook it, on reflecting that I was bijt three years removed from the Age of Wisdom." Teetli sound, but not as white as heretofore. Something the. matter with the dentrifice. Began to be cautions in Chronology. Bad thing to remember too far back. Had serious thoughts of not remembering Miss Farren. 43.—Quite settled not to remembsr Miss Farren. Told Laura W illis that Palmer, who died when I was 19, certainly did not LOOK 48. 49.—Resolved never to marry for any thing but money or rank. 50.—Age of wisdom, Married cny cook. 6 Caution.Counterfeit half-crowns are now in the course of industrious, circulation in Bath. A tradesman had three offered ht his counter withui < the last week. A few evenings since, while Mr. Rowland Lowe, of Allerton; a respectable farmer, was returning home from Wrexham fair, he was attacked, on the road 'between-■■Edge-hill Coffee-honse and jPlumb- hall, b}r three men, two of whom struck hitn severely on the head, and knocked him down.— When on the ground, one of them demanded ins watch, but he had fortunately left it at home.— They rilled his pockets of four or five pounds. The night was very dark and stormy; and Mr. L. was so severely hurt that he with difficulty crawled to a neighbouring cottage, without his hat, and covered-with blood. Mr. L. left Wrexham with a considerable sum of money, which he fortunately II' deposited with a friend in Liverpool.

SWANSEA, FRIDAY, APRIL 13. !Ç. WTe participate in the feelings so ably expressed by D. E. but as the contest appears to be finally decided, any recurrence to it would now be unavailing. The GRAND CONCERT given at the Green Dra- gon, Pembroke, on the 3d inst. for the benefit of the Pembroke Ladies' Charitable Institution, we are happy to state, was attended by most of the families of distinction in that town and neigh- bourhood, who were gratified in adding to the funds of the Society, as well as delighted with the performance. Mr. Barree, the leader of the band, as on former occasions, displayed much natural taste and ability. Mrs. Adams, on the grand piano-forte, played with great execution and ease. The vocal performers sung with great sweetness and expression. The Misses Owen, of Orielton, also performed on the piano and harp several beautiful pieces from$\alkbrenner and Dussek, in a superior style. Indeed the whole of the per- tormjtnce was rapturously applauded, and gave infinite satisfaction. j Lloyd Vmghm W.itkins, Cent. appointed Cornet in the Central Glamorgan Troop of Gentle- men and Yeomanry Cavalry. On Thursday evening, the 5th inst. a countryman, with a common fly, called £ och-ij-bondu, caLught in the river Tivy, near Lanio, Cardiganshire, a trout, weighing six pounds and upwards it was a re- markably fine fish, and in high season. The new London road from Bristol, through Ac- ton Turvilie, in Gloucestershire, was commenced on the 19th uit. and is expected to be finished in September, as there are between 200 and 300 men employed upon it. On Saturday night, the Bristol mail, on the road i to Gloucester, was overturned at an elbow of the road, a short distance on the side of Nubbis-Ash Turnpike, when the coach falling on the, head of the driver, Samuel Wright, he was killed on the spot. Neither the guard nor any of the passen- gers suffered injury. The poor coachman was a steady, sober man, and much respected. ,,] At Gloucester April fair, on Thursday, the shew I of cattle was not large, but quite enough for the demand; in fact, such a depression was never before experienced in this mart, particularly in fat cattle. The same observation is applicable to the sheep fair. Horses were few, and very little de- mand.

Cos.- Waterhouse versus Berkeley.—The trial ot this cause, which has excited a very extra- ordinary degree of interest, came on about two o'clock on Saturday last, at the Gloucester assizes, before Mr. Justice Park, and a most respectable Special Jury. Damages laid at 20,0001.—The plaintiff, John Waterhouse, Esq. is the son of the late Benj. Waterhouse, Esq. of Kingston, Jamaica, who was connected with the House of Willis and Co. bankers, in London; and, in, the year 1810, whilst on a visit to the Isle of Man, became ac- quainted with Miss Jane Lascelles Blake, eldest (laughter of Captain Blake, R.N. The lady was attractive, amiable, and highly accomplished; and the parties being about the same age, an attach. tnent sprung up between them, which eventually led to their onion and on the 5Mi of September, 1312, they were married under the sanction of the: lady's parents. After remaining about three months in the Isle of Man, they visited London, whence they proceeded to Scarborough, where they lived in retirement for three years; and the happiness arising from their union was crownsd by the birth of three children. In 1817, they removed to Charl- ton Kings, near Cheltenham, in which village Lady Wrauxall, au n t to Mrs.Waterhouse on the maternal side, resided. In the latter end of. the month ot March, 1819, whilst the plaintiff and his y/ife were on a short visit to Mrs. Probyn, widow of the late Governor Probyn, who bad been inti- mately acquainted with Mrs. Waterhouse for many years, lltey were first introduced to the defendant, Colonel Berkeley, who made a morning call on Mrs. P. previous to her leaving Cheltenham, which she did on the next day. In the middle of Apr'! lollowing, the ]>1 aintiff was called to London by the illness of his brother, and was absent from home till the 101 h of May; and from letters subsequently found in Mrs. Waterhouse's possession, and which were admitted to lie in the hand-writing of the defendant, it would appear that the particular in- timacy of the parties, and the circumstances upon which this action was grounded, originated in this short interval. By the evidence of some of the domestics, it was during this period that the de- fend-Ant first called upon Mrs. Waterhouse; upon which occasion, she gave orders that no one else was to be admitted whilst Col. B. was with her.- It was likewise proved, that he called afterwards at different times, when similar instructions were given to the servants; and the female cook swore, that, on one occasion, she observed that Mrs. W.'s hair and the frill about her neck were much disor- dered. In the July following, the plaintiff went to Jersey; and, soon after his return home in August, expressed to Lady Wraxall his distress at finding, that, In consequence of some scandalous reports which had been spread abroad, Mrs. Waterhouse did not receive that attention from the ladies of her acquaintance which she had been accustomed to. This being communicated to Mrs. W. she asserted her own innocence, and, satisfying her husband and Lady Wraxall that these reports were unfounded, the plaintiff and his wife continued to live together as before. In January, 1820, the plaintiff left his family, and went to Bristol, where, on the 14th of February, he embarked for Jamaica, for the purpose of visiting some estates in that island. On his return some months afterwards, information was communicated to him which left no doubt in his mind of his having been disho- noured in the person of his wife. She was then in a state of pregnancy and, on the 11th of Novem- ber following, was delivered of a male child. On the 13th of December, the plaintiff, accompanied by his Solicitor, R. Hughes, Esq. went unexpect- edly to Mrs. W.'s lodgings, and compelled her to give up the keys of her writing-detk, in which he found the letters which were produced and read in Court. These letters, all of which were in the defendant's hand-writing, were of a very tender description, and (ormed the most material feature description, and (ormed the most material feature in the plaintiff's case; most of them appeared to I be answers to some which Colonel B. hid received from Mrs. W. The first date was 1st May, 1819. The above constitutes a narrative of the circum- stances adduced for the plaintiff, whose case was staled by his leading Counsel, Mr. Jervis, with great feeling and effect. Mr. Taunton, for the de- fendant, then addressed the. jury with much force and eloquence; but the only evidence offered for the defendant, consisted of four letters, addressed to Colonel Berkeley, which were distinctly proved to be in the hand-writing of Mrs. Waterhouse. The first of these, dated April 5, 1819, in the most ex- plicit manner, declared that the writer had long nourished an uncontrolable passion for the person to whom,it was addressed, though, at the same time, it affirmed a resolution not to make herself known to him; and described the efforts she had made to avoid being in his company. The others also manifested the most ardent attachment.— After Mr. Jervis had made his reply, his Lordship proceeded to sum up, which was done in the most clear and perspicuous manner; and the jury, after a few minntes' consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 10001.
