STRATHFIIILDSAY.

jthe bargain for this estate hss at length been cram.
pleted, and it is now the Duke of IVELLiewron's.
There was to obstacle to the negotialiou about •
month since. Upon a survey of the timber it was
found to be worth 170,000/. a sum much exceeding
the Duke's expectation, and al.o beyond the
capital which it was agreeable to hint t,g employ in
the purchase of wooci. Oovernment removed this
obstacle, by agreeing to take about lio,ooo/. worth
of timber for the duck-yards. The 4.000 acres of
which the estate consists. are in the vicinity of the
greet estate of the late TT LN ET Lotto. Req. now
the property of the Duke's nephew, W. P. L. P.
WILLESLICY, Esq. They are also in the neigh.
bourhood of the large property or Lord Lo NOFOIt D,
• relative of the Duchess. An estate of ahoot
1.400 acres, which lies within three or four miles of
it, was offered for sale not-long since, and may ul-
timately be added to the Duke's possessions in that
quarter. Another circumstance, which gives all
appropriate value to this tertitory, is lti vicinity to
the Military College at Saidlhurst, the pupils of
which will thus have always in their view the splen-
did reetanis of 'one who has 'tendered such eminent
ierviege.

Lest week a splendid Subscription Bill was given
at Feitrybridar, Yorkshire, which was very well
attmoled. Mr. Payne's excellent band was sent
iv, Trois* Leash% by G. Lane Fox, Esq. and Mr.
Pere. and exerted themselves particularly_ during
the evening. The bell was opened by the Hon.
Mrs. William Fox and Mr. Pere, to the lively tune
of " Meg Merrilie, ;" next followed 11iss Ilainsden
and Mr. G. Fox, the Hon. Mrs. Herbert end Col.
Hervey Aston, and about 20 couples. %%Aiming
was then commenced, led off by Mrs. G. Fox
and the Hon. Mr. Lascelles, and was kept up
with great spirit by the principal families in
the neighbourhood, by the Keyes, the Bleeds, the
Pelves. the Stuurtuus, &c. At one o'clock the sup-
per was announced, where every Aehcacy was
provided., sod where much merriatenVprevailed.
and appropriate toasts to fox-hunting were gin,
characteristic of the country, and about four the
company departed, much pleased with the Fete.
On Sunday morning, as Mr. Joseph STAIWARD
and his son were about to leave the Tomher-yard in
St. George's, with a borne and gig, Mr. S. observed
the bridle was not in order. and directed his man
to take it off and alter it ; whi)e doing so, dhoti-
mal became frightened, end flashed forviard;demo-
fishing part of the gate-way. Mr. S. juts. jumped
out ; the horse continued its course, and mitered
the gateway of Mr. Joust BROWN, opposite, but
running against one of the gates, the shuck sepa-
rated the shafts from the body, and the animal was
stopped in his career at the bottom of the yard.
Mr. STA11111•11D. who remained in the gig, received
no material injury.

011Sundaylasi, as Sir QUARLES ALSTON, Bart.
Doctor KNIGHT, MN HORTON, and Master
P.. 01, were proceeding from Stafford to London,
sad bad advanced about two mile, beyond Shipstoa,
they discovered that three of their travelling trunks
had bests last from the Boot of their carriage. One
of the. we. luckily found within a short distance,
and aaathar about half a mile further on the road.
The search for the ether trunk being unavailing, the
party returned to Shipston, at which place they re-
ceived inforntation from • gentleman who reunite
about half a mile from the town, that the lost pro-
perty was in his possession. The gentleman had
been walking on the road, and saw a man and a boy
on the other side of the hedge, who were carrying
the trunk, and being alarmed by his appearance,
they threw it down, and ran away. All the !oat
property was thus fortunately recovered. It is
strongly suspected that the falling of the trunks was
occasioned by design, and not occident.
