upon the turf, and much respected for his mar
amiable qualities, was crossing Oslo: d-street, nes

MR MARCHIONESS OF LANSOOFFN'S
faiRANU ASQUL !CALM.
The Marchioness of LAIISDOWN gave, on
Thursday evening, one of the most splendid Fetes cf
the season, at Lansclown-House, in Berkeley-
square. 'l'he extent of the lawn, the grand suite
of rooms on the gromid floor, the size and loftiness
of them, all contributed to the splendour of the
scene. At an early hour in the evening, the garden
walls were covered with spedators. At eleven
o'clock, the illumination of the walks round the
lawn was completed, and displayed the greatest
taste and ingenuity ; a complete rotunda' from the
placing of the lamps, appeared at the bottom
The coup d'wil from the house was beyond all de-
scription; and five marquees were ereaed in the
centre, for serving refreshments to the motley guests,
who forsook " the insrgeutio palate" to " wander dy
the hriloc.ka green." His Royal Highness the Duke
of Yong!s band played the finest martial airs. From
this scene of enchantment, the company entered
the grand hall, in which, and the adjoining suite of
rooms, every thing that could be produced by the
most brilliant mirrors, the finest paintings, most
judicious lights, and splendid furniture, combined
to dazzle the eye, and captivate the mind. The
-litrautte to the grand library was from a pavilion,
formed by the Graces, and lighted by a superb
Grecian lamp. To describe the library is beyond
dur limits. It has long been the admiration of the
grave and the learned. It was now, we believe for
he first time, appropriated to the mazy deere. The
solemnity ::nd gravity of the library might appear,
at first blush, to accord but ill with the gaiety of
the scene ; but the profound reader will perteite
that nothing could be mote appropriate. Those

the other were in their. lives no less intensely
employed in exploring the arrana of learned lore.
the same spit it which induced Moyne: to roll his
sub, inspired the fladequin At Lansdown-House, to
cut his Piretiet:e. Both were alike emulous of fame.
And surely all ancient or modern Poets, from Ht-
siOD and li,atta to POP.. and AN•CREos
must look down from their shelves with complacen-
cy upon such a variegated groupe, all attentive to
-sate, to their feet, and measures, and hail them as
sr many pupils, studious to rival their masters in
order andharmonkus movements. The pillars on
the stair-case were entwined with variegated lamps,
which led to the first floor, which was entirely ar-
ranged for supper for 600 persons ; that appropri-
ded for His Royal Highness the Prince of %Vests,
and all the Royal Party, was most superb ; a beau-
tiful Chinese lamp was suspended in the centre of
•he room; eight large gold branches, bearing wax
risers, lighted this banquet, which was served on
the finest plate, and consisted of every delicacy that
art and nature could produce. At eleven o'clock,
•he company began to assemble, and were received

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. W/Lsna 'moved for a Rule to shew cause
why a Criminal Information should not be granted
against John Brown, Gentleman, if the City of
Norwich, for publishing a Libel against Mr.
Lemon, a most respedable gentleman, and one of
the senior Aldermen of that ancient Corporation.
It appeared upon the affidavits on which this ap-
plication was grounded, that a person of the name
of Sudbtrry bad given Mr. Lemon a quantity of
dye-wood, to grind at his mill. and some dispute or
disagreement arose, respelling the quantity return-
ed. On the lst day of May last. being the Corpo-
snoop day. an eleftion WAS held for a Mayor, and
Mr. Lemon was in the nomination, along with an-
other Alderman ; upon this occasion, a vast quan-
tity of hand-bills was circulated among the Elect-
ors, raid/lug upon the charader of Mr. Lemon ;
telling the Eledors, they might as well eled an er-
rand. or * shoe-boy, as their Mayor, as a man with
dirty hands; that those who set up as Candidates,
should have clean bands, and if they employed SM.
vesgers to sweep their streets clean, they should also
have Candidates with clean hands, titc.dtc. • alluding,
as was supposed. to the transaftins with 'Suclherry.
It was farther stated, that the father of the gentle-
Mae, against whom this application was made, was
also one of the senior Aldermen, and had taken an
allive part in favour of the rival Candidate. The
printer of these bills being applied to, declared Mr.
John Brown was the person who employed him.
The Collar asked if Mr. Brown was a man of
s-Ististance ? and being answered in the affirmative,
their Lordships granted a conditional Rule for an
trafoimation.
