THE COrNTEBB or DERWENTWATER.—The Lady
Matilda Radcliffe, Countess of Derwentwater, still occu-
pies the unenviable position in which she was placed by
the representatives of Mr. C. G. Grey, after her rough
and forcible ejectment from Dilston Castle some four or
live days ago, and her grievances and sufferings continue
to from the principal topic) of conversation throughout the
district. On all bands the greatest commiseration is
expressed for her misfortunes, while many
.of the most
influential and aristocratic families in the neighbourhood
have personally visited her little tent, in order to assure her
of their sympathy in the prooeedingsabout to be commenced.
Offers of food, of shelter, and of assistance have not been
wanting ; but the whole of these kindness's, with the
exception of some trifling
_refreshments, have been
courteously refused by her ladyship, on the ground that
she is still a prisoner in the hands of the Admiralty,
and cannot leave the spot until the dispute between
their lordships and herself is brought to a settle-
ment. Her ladyship, whose health is visibly declining
through the close confinement to which she is sub.
jected, complains very bitterly. of what she represents
as Mr. Cheri; want of humanity in allowing her to remain
so long in such a position, as he could so easily remove
her to London and settle the whole question ; but she
strongly asserts, and seems fully determined to carry out
the resolve, that she will die on the spot sooner than
yield her just rijihts. That this is an extreme view of the
case her ladyship readily admits, although she thinks its
realisation would be a lasting disgrace on the free country
in which we live. In nearly every court in Europe, she
says, her title of Countess of IV'aldsteine.Waters has been
honoured ; but in England, the home of her ancestors, she
has had to be dra violently from the ruined halls of
which she is the rightful heiress, and subjected to insult
and degradation of the very lowest kind.—Nnecestis
Chronicle.
