- We have heard from good authority, we appre.
bend, that MATTHEW WYATT, Eq. the zealcnis
and respectable agent of the late and present L0..(1
Drt.i.on, has recently tendered his resignation of
that office. Impressed, as we are, with a due sense•
of the great advantages which the representative of
a considerable landed proprietor, possessina ability.
'intelligence, and humanity in a high degree, and
regulating his conduct by strict integrity and lin.
smut, wrist confer upon the tenantry committed to
his care; we cannot, upon public grounds, bot
regret sincerely. that Mr. ii'VATT is about to take
his departure from n country where the influence
which those qualities beget, was, of course, readily
acquired by and conceded to him, and which, by it.
judicious application. was productive of the best
effects, and afforded the most general mati•fitlion.
The retirement of Mr. WYATT from office and licits
hence will call forth the lively regret of every malt
of every doss in ilia neight hood, who ktinw. the
value of very active and disinterested frietai-hip
combined with quick penetration and sound judg-
ment.—(Alumo toriaty Paper.)
