A Gm. Wrrnottaws. —For very good and suffi-
dent names the Earl of Dudley has withdrawn his gene-
roas tender of 5,0001. towards the purchase of the so-called
plealure grounds. The citizens, while highly appreciating
the gracious motives and most kindly feelings which i
actuated his lordship's offer, will yet feel it a relief to be I
freed from the pressure of an obligation desired to be con.
!erred upon them for a purpose which did not enlist
their feelings or sympathies, bat the reverse. They will e
be nose the less grateful for the beneficent disposition It
manifested by his lordship on their behalf, and he may be
