THE "LAWN MEET" AT BADMINTON.—This
notable event came off yesterday (Wednesday) and folly
maintained its high celebrity in every particular. For many
'days past the Mice of the sporting world have anticipated
with intense interest this grand annual meeting, and watched
' with ill-concealed displeasure the late cold and chilling
rains and sombre sky. Bat shivering showers and
gloomy clouds kindly disappeared on the auspicious day,
and a smiling sun and invigorating breeze exerted their
inspiriting influences instead. The approaches to Bad-
' minion were in the morning crowded with vehicles,
equestrians mid pedestrians, premating a grotesque
' variety of costume and character. Visitors on reach-
ing the ducal park seemed more than ever struck
with the solemn grandeur of its countless oaks, almost
unequalled for their age, magnitude and eccentricity
of form. A beautiful grey light played through the various
avenues, rendering softly visible, at graduated distances,
herds of graceful and majestic deer, and the gentle breeze
seemed to whisper as it wafted through the branches
of the venerable oaks, " Welcome to the Dukes." The
quiet solidity of the flue old mashie, known to all visitors I
as the hot-bed of hospitality, associated with the forest
magnificence, ratifies as it were at a glance the envied dis-
tinction of hundreds of years dedicated to blamer, nobility,
and dignity. According to custom, there was an Mimeos@
attendance upon the lawn, and the numbers could not have
been less than between 5,000 and 6,000. Among the illus-
trious company assembled around the Duke and Duchess
of Beaufort were the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess
Mary, the Duke of (..Imbridge, the Marquis of Worcester,
the Earl of Beaumont, Earl and Countess of Westmore-
lead, Lord and Lady Proby, Lord and Lady Bingham,
Lord Coventry, Lord Courtenay, Lady Edith Somerset,
Lady Geraldine Somerset, Lord Henry Somerset, Lord
Arthur Somerset, Sir W. Codringtou, M.P., and Lady
Georgina Codriegton ; Colonel Berkeley, M.P., Colonel
Bail's, Colonel Parses, Colonel and Mrs. M-Donald,
and Lady Kiepcote, Colonel Miles, Colonel Somerset, Mr.
Raiford, M.P., Captain Edwards, Captain Little, Dr. Quin,
Mr. &Idyls, Mr. C. W. Miles, Mr. Orred, Mr. De Vans,
he., he. The assemblage of so brilliant a company was, as
may be expected, a gloriosa spectacle. The sporting party
had a splendid run, finishing at Dodingtoo. The tables
lat the mansion were laden with refreshment, • pro-
' fusion of everything good being provided for the duke's
numerous guests. The requirements of all who attended
were lavishly supplied. Between 200 and 300 cards of
invitation have been issued for the grand ball, which will
take place this evening.—BatA Chronicle.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE Or • CLEROYMAN.—OD
Saturday morning bet considerable excitement was occa-
sioned throughout the village of Great Mullen, Herta, by
the report that the rector, the Rev. Henry Dawson, _ had
committed suicide. On that morning, about ten o'clock,
the rev, gentleman had not come down as usual to the
breakfast table, which led the servant to proceed to his
room, but not hearing any response to her call she became
much alarmed, and thee obtained the assistance of the man
servant. A messenger was sent to Puckeridge for a sur-
geon, but before his arrival the door had been
burnt open, and in the hip bath deceased was found
sitting upright, quite dead. The reverend gentleman
bad committed suicide by opening the main artery of the
arm with his razor, which was found lying open on the
ground. When found his body was perfectly cold, so that
he most have committed the sot some hours previous to
being discovered. On Tuesday an inquest was held before
the deputy-coroner, and after evidence had been given in
accordance with the foregoing fade, the jury returned a
verdict that the deceased gentleman had committed
"suicide while in a state of insanity." The rev. gentleman
was greatly esteemed in the neighbourhood, mid his lees
will be much felt by the poor, as he was particularly bene-
volent and kind-hearted. He was only 42 years of are, and
was a nephew of the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart, and the
third son of the late Right Hon. George Dawson.
