Master of the Ceremonies. Miss Chester was the
intimate friend of the lute Countess of Liverpool,

mestic habits, recommended to him her friend, as
one ts ho, in the event of a second union, was most
capable of affording him domestic felicity. A twelve

In the memory of man never has there been known
a harvest more productive, nor a seasen more con-
genial than the present. In Scotland the crops
have been greatly improved by the late rains ; the
the oats in particular are still growing vigorously,
and promise well. In Ireland there appears to have
been no injury sustained by the growing corn; the
rains having been only partial, and at intervals. On
the contrary, the potatoe crop has received immense
benefit from the moisture, and promises an abundant
produce "

Messrs. Russell MO Co.'s wagon office, Exeter. which
excited considerable alarm in toe iieLithoortmod.—Sonie
chests belonging to the matia4er of the Exeter theatre
were ICA there to be forwarded in Weymouth, prepara.
