lately said, is now at his seat, Hunsbourne.
park, near Andover, Hants, where he is watched
and attended in all his movements, by an officer
connected with the principal Polite-office of the
metropolis. When his lordship, on the occasion of
his rapid journey from Edinburgh some few weeks
ago, arrived at the seat of Lord Grantley, near
Guilford, Surrey, an express was sent off to Lon-
don, and two police-officers left town immediately
(we understand in the middle of the night) to be in
attendance upon his lordship's wrion. They re-
mained with him until one departed for flurtsbaurne-
park, whither one of them afterwards fullowed, and
he now resides there. A similar course was pur-
sued, on a like occurrence happening three or four
years ago. A police-officer was then in attendance
upon the noble lord for nearly six months, during
which time he rode out in the carriage with him,
and scarcely ever quitted his presence for a single
moment. These officers were employed upon the
instance of the Hon. Newton FAlowes, the brother
of Lord Portsmouth.
St. Stephens Chapel, which has undergone so
many changes and improvements, again presents a
most dilapidated appearance. All the beats are
bare, all the mattings and coverings have been re-
moved, and the whole is tilled with scaffidding
Besides many other alterations to promote the coin-
modiousness of the house, the whole of the very
wainscotted ceiling is to be taken down, fur the
purpose of introducing several more ventilators.—
Although the ventillation of the house was much
improved within the last few years, it was still in a
very defective state, and the proposed addition of
ventilators will be a great improvement, and one
that was much wanted, as all know who were ever
compelled to sit in the house or gallery for any length
of time.
The Wellington statue in Hyde Park, is at length
completely developed, the ropes, tarpaulins, tic.
being removed, which prevented the visitors of
Hyde Park from having a fair view of this work of
art, which has been the subject of so much critical
contention. We cannot say we entertain a higher
sense of its beauties from a closer iusp:ction. It is
surrounded with cheerios de frise, and the ground
about the statue has been cleared, which now appears
in a commanding situation.
During the foggy weather on Wednesday evening
last, the Durabarloa Cattle steam-boat, in her way
from Graogemouth, with a great number of pas-
sengers, run aground near Granton. The thickness
of the weather preventing the crew from ascertain-
ing her exact situation, guns were immediately fired
with the view of obtaining assistance from the shore.
The Lord President went off himself in the first
boat to her assistance, and by his assiduity and at-
tention, the alarm in the minds of the passengers
was greatly reduced, and a great part of their lug-
gage was at once placed in safety. Ti' steam-boat
got ()Won Thursday without material damage.
One of the passengers who was on board the ship
Liverpool, from New York, bound to Liverpool,
(which was lost on the Banks of Newfoundland),
who was in one of the three boats with the crew
and 15 passengers, states that they wete six days
and nights in open boats, and 500 miles from shore,
and was reduced to a biscuit and half-pint of water
per day, not having been able to save any thing
from on board the Liverpool—at length they were
picked up by a fishing boat, in which they were on
board two days, and caned to Newfoundland.
