BUCKINGHAM.

The two Concerts given by Mr. Clarke, dnring
the a.aise week, were most numerously attended;
and the Theatre crowded to excess wilt the beauty
and fashion of the county. Among the distil'.
glitalwil families present we noticed
Tip. Marini* of Itoeftiosimaa, Lowl Rouen's Sir I. DAIL
wood Coe, Sir George Lee, Wm. Lawsuits, Esc R. Bricks
sad, M.P. Col. llmane, Mr. Miasholl, A. Chaplain, Esq. lie.
hlisa Crevice appeared for the &et time, and was
received with the highest applause. Young Do-
naldson was deservedly noticed ror the sweet ties. of
his voice. The glees by Corbett, Millar, Thorne,
and Yardley, were must deservedly and highly sp.
pleaded. Mr. Willis led the bend, and per-
formed his euncertos with the greatest tepidity and
brilliancy of execution. The performances gave
.0 much itleasure, that Mr. Clarke was requested
to take ass early opportunity of repeating them, to
which he consented. The hand of the Royal
Buckinghamshire Militia attended, and performed
some favoutits military airs between the acts of
each Cancel t.

Lord KennstlT, who married the rich heiress,
Miss ALLAIDTCg, when he himself was a minor,
and the lady only seventeen. now complains of the
law's delay iu the assignment of a huge sum of
Bank Stock, -which he claims in right of his wife.
Ilis Lordship has filed a Bill in Chancery against
the Lady's Guardian, but the proceedings of that
Court not being so prompt as those of Gretna Green,
the Loan CHAIIICSLLOIL very properly doubts wive-
filet he ought to grant the Order for transferring the
Stock, till the interests of the lady and children are
cortult!d.

The oldest tower of Lancaster Castle, called the
Dungeon Tower, has lately been taken down. It
is supposed to be upwanls of 1.300 years since it
was erected. The floor was formed of stones about
two feet long and six or eight inches square, set on
end, and bound together with iron, and thus funn-
ed a sort of pavement. This stone-work rested on
a bed of solid marl, about three feet in thickness,
which either had been removed thither out of the
castle ditch, or from a greater distance. Beneath the
bed of marl, which the workmen have just removed,
a number of horses' teeth were almost daily disco-
vered. The tower, as its name implies, has origin.
ally been designed for a dungeon, for the purpose
probably of confining prisoners of war; but the teeth
in question have been found very plentifully in
simt-
I snuations in other departments of the Castle.
