A dinner was given at Ayr to the Marquis of 'IASI' mos on
Wednesday last, for which the public rooms in the county
buildings of that town were fitted up in a very splendid style.
The Earl of Glasgow, Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, was in the

Andrew Cathcart, and other distinguished characters took their
seats on his left hand ; and the Duke of Portland, Lord James
Stewart, the Provost of Ayr, Sir James Montgomerie, Cun-
ninghame, &c. &c. on the right. Sir D. H. Blair acted as

county filled the seats surrounding the tables.
A Miss Cranstone, who eloped with Captain G-, from
Streatham, on Friday last, was overtaken at Canterbury, supp-
ing with her inamorato the same night, and was safely conveyed
back home by her brother. They were traced front Croydon,
which they left in a single horse chaise.
The intention to open a new French Theatre at the Argyll
Rooms is abandoned, the Lord Chamberlain, it is said, having
refused the application ibr a license, although it was supported
by some of the very first personages in the fashionable
world.

Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Leinster are expected
to arrive in Edinburgh this week.
The Earl of Cardigan still remains at the White Hart, St.
Alban's, though in an improving state of health. He has re-
ceived every attention from the Earl and Countess of Verulam,
to the latter of whom he is distantly related.
On Friday evening last, their Graces the Duke and Duchess
of Northumberland and suite, arrived at Dodsworth's, the
Queen's Head Inn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where they stopped
all night. Prior to their entering the town, their Graces were
met on Gateshead-fell, by a numerous body of the Noble
Duke's tenantry, on horseback, headed by Mr. George Wea-
therby, who was the first that had the honour to felicitate his
Grace upon his safe return from his mission to the French
Court. The bells of all the Churches at Newcastle welcomed
with their merriest music, the arrival of these distinguished
personages ; and it was at a late hour in the night before the
jocund sounds entirely ceased. On the following morning, the
Right Worshipful the Mayor (Henry Cramlington, Esq.) had
the honour of an audience with their Graces, to express the ex-
treme gratification which he and the other Members of the
Body Corporate had in again seeing their highly esteemed Lord
Lieutenant and his amiable Duchess within their walls. As a
further compliment to his Grace, who had so recently upheld
the dignity of the King, as his Representative at the Court of
Charles X., in a most princely style, a salute of 21 guns was
fired from the old castle at 10 o'clock, and the merry notes of
the bells again enlivened the car with their music. When the
Duke anti Duchess were about quitting the Queen's Head, for
Alnwick-castle, between ten and eleven o'clock, a consider-
able number of horsemen (tenants upon the Northumberland
estates), headed by Mr. Laws, one of his Grace's Commission-
ers, and Hugh Taylor, Esq., made their appearance, as an
escort to the noble family of Percy, as far as Morpeth. This
respectable body received the Duke and Duchess uncovered,
while they made the welkin ring again with their loud and
hearty huzzas, in which they were joined by a large concourse
of people who had assembled to witness the highly gratifying
spectacle. It is justly the pride of Englishmen that they are
ever ready to do homage, to exalted virtue and benevolence.—
( Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sept. 3.)

Lord IIELVILLE has been frequently engaged
during the last seven days in measuring and inspecting the

INDEPENDENCE OF lIAYTI.—A letter from
Port-au-Prince, of the 12th July, says—" An
entertainment was given yesterday evening by
the President to the Baron de Mackau and
the officers of the French squadron. The
whole was splendidly got up, and the greatest
order and good humour preserved. The toasts
after dinner were—' Charles X.;' ' The Presi-
dent of Hayti ;" France and Hayti—mother and
daughter;' and from a distinguished Senator, with
a great deal of emphasis and feeling, May we
never cease to feel in ourselves, or to impress on
our posterity, that we owe our present situa-
tion, our existence as a nation free and inde-
pendent, to the aid given us by commerce from
England, America, and Germany.' "
