It was not the least gratifying to his Lordship's feelin;s that all party and political comiderations ceased on the occasion, and there was a pleasing mixture of persons, whose political sentiments were in opposition to each other, but they did not intet. fere to prevent that hilarity and unanimity that prevailed. in consequence of these flattering marks of respect it superb entertainment was given at the Cabinet' Arms, Buckingham, by Lord Temple, on Tuesday, the 25th ult. to which the Corporation of Buckingham was invited, and a number of Yeomanry, anal several persous of distinction in the neighbourhood, and the p iii were regaled with !dewy of wholesome food and excellent ale.

Sonic time sMee, circumstances b..iita changed, the magistrates thought it advisable to enforce the old segulations, and all Jew beggars and petty theat ers received orders to quit the town, which they did.
