The Marquis of Bute has returned to Camden-
hill.

Earl Somers will pass the winter at Brighton.
De Beriot is now at Vienna, where he is giving
a series of concerts.
WROXTON ABBEY, NEAR BANBURY.—The
Party which was to have assembled on a visit to Colonel
and Lady Susan North will not meet until Christmas,
in const qaence of the demise of Sir F. Doyle.
We observe from the Ayr Advertiser, that the

That 4, Love" is both agreeable and pleasant to

, GRESHAM COLLEGE.—The Professor of Mu-
" concluded the Lectures of the present Term on
Alooday evening. The subject on this and the previous
evenings was the Dramatic Music of England to the
"nnencemcnt of the reign of Charles 11., in the course
of which
which some curious specimens of the masque music
of
the reign of James 1., and one of the original songs
Shakspeare's plays (the only one known to exist)
,w,ere introduced. Crowded and attentive audiences
mied the theatre of the City of London School every
night, and many hundreds went away unable to obtain
eornission ; more than 3,000 persons attended the
Gresham Lectures during the late Term ; it is to be
, hoped that the Gresham Trustees will avail themselves
of the present state of their affairs to restore to its ori-
ginal independence and usefulness the princely endow-
ment of Sir Thomas Gresham ; for this, as the admi-
nistrators of his will, is their primary duty. We hear
that they have it in contemplation to purchase Crosby-
hall for this purpose ; and it would be impossible to find,
or even to erect, a building more completely adapted to
the accommodation of the public, and better fitted to
carry out the enlarged and liberal views of the founder
of Gresham College.

The late Lieutenant-General the Ho„. Sir

Kingston, and to General Viscount Lorton, and had
seen much service. He received his last step, as Lieu_
tenant-General, at the Coronation brevet last year, and
Was Colonel of theilst West India regiment (date of
appointment, July 19, 1834), which becomes vacant by
his demise.

We are enabled positively to state that there is
not the slightest foundation for apprehending a renewal
of the outrage in Wales. The attempts of certain Tory
journals to produce an excitement by publishing in second
editions announcements of such apprehensions must prove
abortive, when it is found that the reports they put forth
are utterly without cause.
MR. EwART.—We are enabled to state, al-
though not on the authority of Mr. Ewart, that he in-
tends to become a candidate for the honour of repro-
senting the Dumfries district of Burghs, in the event of

Hoddarn Castle.—Dumfries Courier.

Which was that he be transported as a felon to such
Place as her Majesty's Privy pleased Council shall h ' to
happoint for the term of fourteen years.
