TER Drag or NEWCASTLE'S ARRIVAL AT CLUE-
SIR. Oar readers will receive with great pleasure the an-
nouncement that the Duke*, Newcastle, the universally re-
spected lord lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, arrived at hi
seat, Clamber-park, near Worksop, from Carlton Howe-
terrace, Lnadoe, on Wednesday evening last, reaching the
Worksop station of the Matibmter, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire Railway by the 6.26 pan. exprees. His grace was ac-
companied by his son, Lord Robert Clinton, and two medical
gentlemen, and had a couch fitted-op to realise upon during
the journey. On arriving at Worksop, his grace was sup-
ported from the train to hi carriage, which was waiting for
him, and at once drove off to Clamber. Hundreds of par-
sons heed the route ; and there were many silent minifesta-
tiara of joy shown on the occasion of the duke's return.
The bells of the Abbey Church rang merry peels, and flags
floated from many of the residence, of the priecipal inhabit-
ants and tradeamen. His pace looks very much thinner
than when be was lest sees in Worksop ; sad we are sorr►
to say that his health is very unsatisfactory. The noble
expression of countenance is left, but disease has sadly im-
paired it during the last four months. We sincerely trust
that the fine forest air of his native county will have a bene-
ficial effect upon hie constitution, and that be may be re-
stored to his family and countrymee. The disease nudes
which his grace labours is 'Newby, Brifilttii.—Leeds Mercury.

through a certain parish the worthy minister thereof
mounted and sat beside Join Bright. They began to die-
cues politics. After a while the minister said, with a twang
snd dialect we reasot oopy, " I'll tell you what it is, we'll
sever have pesos until that blackguard, John Bright, be
banged. He is trying to Americanise our institutions, and
do awayentirely with the glorious constitution of Great
Britaio.. " Ob." Nava the M.P.. " you would not surely hang
him!" "Haag him! repliesthe minister " I would just babe
him myself as high as the tree. The 'Mackgmerd Cobden
is had, but he's tee degrees worse. Oh, he should be burnt,
burnt ! " In something of the same strain the convene-
lion went on all the way. After service be was compli-
mented by the clergyman for whom he officiated on the One
brie audience he bad. "and among the rest you bad Mr.
Bright.M.Y. for Birmingham." "Where did be sit!"
revs the minister. He was told where the stout M.P. sat.
"0 Lord !" he exclaimed, "what have I done? He came
down oe the coach with toe, and I railed him a blackguard,
and mid he should be burned."—Elgin Courant.
