well-known to all who hunt in Doreetahire ; and on
the Thursday in that week there was a lawn meet of
I Lord Portman'e hounds, and, although the weather
was hardly favourable for hunting, they quickly found
a fox in theprs.srvs. and killed him after • short run.
The meet will long be remembered as one of the most
brilliant ever held in Dossetahire, and we dare predict
no long time will elapse before the visit is repeated.
With his own tenants, and, in fact, with all of high
and low degree in the county, Lord Alington is
I deservedly most popular, as he patronises ewer,
agricultural show and other county institution within
reach, and has ever played the r 414 of an English
county gentleman, acting towards those who occupy
farms on hia estates on that glorious principle of "live
and let live." Although • Conservative and through
life &staunch supporter of the late Government, he has
never failed to speak his mind when be thought the
occasion required it, and no one is more attentively
Leaned to in the House, as, although generally amus-
ing, his speeches are characteristic for sound common
sense." —IA. Cowley Gentimmes.
