FESTIVITIES AT SHUBDON COURT.

Some months bark we announced the arrival of
William Hanbury, Esq. and his Lady, at Shobdon
Court, in this county, where they hare since re-
sided. occupied in seta of charity to the poor, and
hospitable attentions to their friends. The neigh.
bourhood. •e hear, begin to entertain sanguine
hopes of seeing the noble mansion •t Shobdon re.
stored to its former splendour, 'hen its late pro-
prietor. Lord Viscount Bateman. was the occupier.
At a late audit twenty per cent, was abated to the
tenants, with • promise of further reduction if the
times required it. Last week the tenantry received
a general invitatinn to • ball, which was fully at.
tended; soon after
lust Lady entered the ball-room, with Lady Harriet
Chichester, M►. and Lady Augusta Chichester, the
Hon. General Agar, and Sir Thomas Sainsbury,
Bert., with the worthy rector, the Rev. J. T. Allen.
The ball was opened by Mr. Hanbury and hi.
Lady, and their noble friends, with thirty couples
of their tenantry. At half-past ten the company
sat down to supper in the large entrance hall, where
an elegant entertainment was provided, consisting
of all kinds of game, and every substantial !usury;
many twists to the welfare of the worthy donor were
given with enthusiastic feeling, and the enlivening
glass went round merrily. At twelve o'clock the
dance was resumed, and soon after Mr. Hanbury
and Lady came to take leave, desiring the dance
should be kept up as lung as the company found it
agreeable, and retired amongst the grateful good
wishes of their tenantry, to whom their affability
and kindness have justly endeared them. On the
following evening severity tf the cottager. were re-
galed with plenty of good cheer.—(Hereford
Journal.)

We understand that Earl FITZWILLIAN has
caused ejectmento to be -served upon a number of
the getitkiluis on his estates, who were rdek-rest
middle-men, owing several years' arrears then.-
selves, mid making the poor cottager. pay to the
day : his Lordship has, however, ordered that the
occupy's% temente shall not be removed.--(Carime
Post./
The tenants of the Marquis of LANIDOWN re-
ceived a further abatement of their rents at his
Lordship's liite audit, which, with former abate-
ments, makes an average reduction of about 401.
per ceut. on his Wiltshire !mints.
At the last vent-day the Steward of Wm. ORD.
Esq. M.P. of Whitfield. returned to the tenants
20 per cent.; and it was remarked there was not a
singiedefieit io the accounts.—(Neecemlle Coitranf.)
-Another difference between parishioners arid their
Rector, similar to the recent one in St. Margaret's,
Westminster, is likely, we hear. to take place in
the united parishes or St. Gregory and St. Magda-
len. The' Rev. Mr. DILLoN, one of the clergy.
men, we believe, commonly denominated Evange-
lical Preachers, ha• canvassed fur the Lee' ureship,
now by the resignation of the Rev. Mr.
Towits22ND, and has obtained the promise of a
majority of votes; but the Rev. Mr. WEBB, the
Rector, has intimated his intention, in the event of
Mr. DlLloa's election, to refuse him the pulpit.
The case of CARLILR e. PARKIN. is to come on
this day, in the Court of King's Bench, Westmin.
wee. The action is for the seizure of C•RLILICI
stock, at 33, Fleet-street, and keeping possession of
it for three years. IL involves the question whether
• Sheriff is jinitified in keeping the goods levied
under a levuri facia:, without selling them. It is
alleged on the part of CARLILS, that the property,
of which • small part oily consists of condemned
pohlicstions, would, if sold at the time of seizure,
have paid his men and sister's fines.

It ta stid iliat the►e are no less than six English
Noblemen and Dignitaries of the itstablished
(larch, now resident in Paris, who have left this
country fur ever, because the climate is 001 con-
genial to their tastes.
Wednesday morning the Peterborough coach,
going down Baldock Hill, unfortunately upset, and
we are sorry to add, the guard was killed on the
spot, and the coachman also much hurt. None of
the passengers sustanted any injury. The guard
has left a widow and four children to lament his
loss.

The following is, we understand, an elucidation
of the mysteiMus story relating to a noble exile, of
great poetical fame, which was copied into our
piper during the last week. The Noble Lord cun-
►igned, from Italy,to a certain Bibliopolist in Lon-
don, three Cases, in which were ',rescued the heart,
the intestines, and the body of an infant, dear to his
Lordship, with a request that their remains should
be deposited in Harrow ehurchond that a monument,
to the memory of this infant, with an appropriate in-
scription, written by his Lordship, should be erected
'them. The most extraordinary injunction was, that
the hiejaret should be placed on the wall, in the front
of. and immediately opposite to ■ pew, which is re.
gulvly Itequented by the Lady of tie poet. The
faithful Bibliopulist, true to his trust, communicated
the whole matter to his cheerful sad rotund friend,
one of the Muter* of Moroi, School, olio, in the
exercise of a prudent end well-regulated judgment,
advised that the contents of the three cases should
be consigned to one coniu, and quietly end un-
ostentatiously interred in the chuich.yerd. This
was done, and the Bibliopolist and the Knight of
the /Cod were the only mourners.— ( Loosing Paper.)
