LORD CAMPBELL MID HIS GALWAY TENANTRY.—
The Galway Packet says :—" Lord Campbell will enter-
tain his Moycullen tenantry at a public banquet in the
large school-room of Moycullen on next Monday. We
have heard that the invitations amount to four hun-
dred. He will also entertain his Barna tenantry in a
similar manner during the ensuing week. This speaks
well for the future career of Lord Campbell as an Irish
landlord. We have also been informed that he has en-
gaged a female teacher to instruct the daughters of his
tenantry in sewing and embroidery. Should his lord-
ship proceed in this course of conciliation and kindness,
there will not be more promptly paid rents nor a more
happy tenantry in Ireland."
BANQUET TO GENERAL SIR JOSEPH THACKWELL, AT
GLOUCESTER.. —This gallant general, whose skilful and
intrepid conduct during the late arduous campai-ns in
India and the Sikh territory gained for him such warm
eulogium and approbation, has been invited to a grand
public banquet to be given by the mayor and municipal
auaorities and citizens of the city of Gloucester. The
invitation has been accepted by Sir Joseph, and will take
place at about the end of the month, and will be held at
the Concert-room. The immediate occasion of the en-
tertainment arose from the gallant general passing
through Gloucester on his way to Ledbury, in order to
visit his relations. At Ledbury he was received with a
hearty welcoming peal of bells ; and at Dymock, where
he visited his nephew, J. Cam Thackwell, Esq., similar
demonstrations took place. On passing through Glou-
cester on his return to Clifton he was waited upon by the
mayor, when the invite was given and accepted, and the
I festival will be carried out with becoming sprit.
