MARQUIS WELLESLEY'S INTENDED 111ARRIAGE.—The
Dublin Papers confirm the statement of the intended marriage
of the Marquis Wellesley. Upon this subject they say—" The
marriage of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, with Mrs.
Patterson, is certainly to take place. We believe tha day is
not fixed, but report states that it will not be postponed beyond
the ensuing week. It has been erroneously supposed that 0;
Lady is the same who had been formerly the wife of Jerome
Buonaparte, the Ex-King of Westphalia. This is not the fact:
Mrs. Patterson is the widow of the brother of that amiable and
accomplished Lady, and is herself also a most beautiful and
accomplished woman. She was presented at Court, at one of
the King's late Drawing Rooms. His Majesty is said to have
admired her very much. Mrs. Patterson is a Roman Catholic,
and a native of the United States."

On the evening of the 28th ultimo, the chief inhabitants
of the town of Christiania, in Norway, gave a magnificent
Ball to their Suedo-Norwegian Majesties, to which upwards
of four hundred persons were invited. Her Majesty the Queen
condescended to open the Ball as at Gottenburgh last year,
with a member of the mercantile body. At about midnight a
most elegant supper was served up in a style of splendour that
could not fail of beint, pleasing to the Royal Visitors. After
sitting at table a couple of hours, the enlivening dance was
again resorted to, and it was an advanced period in the morn-
ing before the assembly broke up, highly delighted with the
various entertainments of the evening.
PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 25.—The Officers of his Majesty's
ship Victory entertained a large party of their friends on the
21st instant, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the great
and triumphant Battle of Trafalgar, in which their proud ship
bore so distinguished a part, under the flag of the immortal
Nelson. Among the guests we noticed Major-General Sir
Edward Blakeney, K.C.B. ; Colonel Turrins, Royal Marines ;
Captains John Symonds, Dickenson, and William Symonds,
Royal Navy; Captains Murton, Harrison, and Logan, Royal
Marine Artillery ; Dr. G. H. .Jones, R.N.; Dr. Foggo, Royal
Artillery, &c. &c. The toasts and sentiments given upon this
glorious occasion were admirably selected, and the evening was
passed with the greatest harmony and delight; the Victory's
band, with the wild minstrelsy of her harper, gave a zest to the
banquet, the entire arrangement of which did great credit to the
taste and abilities of Mr. Abram Tutil Mitchell, the ward-
room butler.

QUEENSBERRY LESSEES.—The teiants on the estate of
Neidpath having received the agreeable intimation from their
law agent, that the damages awarded against the executors of
the late Duke of Queensberry, for their deprivation of their
leases, would be paid to them in the Tontine Inn of Peebles, on
Thursday the 20th October current, assembled accordingly,
nothing loath ; and having banked their long contested treasure,
gave a handsome entertainment to their " Pilot who weathered
the storm," and to a number of other gentlemen, friends of the
fortunate lessees. Mr. Anderson, Cramilt, was in the chair, and
Mr. Murray of Craigend croupier. A number of excellent toasts
were given on the occasion, and received with suitable demon-
strations of applause ; and after spending an evening with the
greatest hilarity and good humour, the party broke up about
eleven o'clock, much gratified, with so agreeable a termination
to their long contested claims—To. Mr. Ross of the Tontine the
Meeting was much indebted for furnishing an elegant dinner,
with excellent wines.—(Edinburgh Courant.)

NEW STREET.—A select meeting was held
yesterday at Green's Coffee-house, Serle-street, to consider of a
plan, submitted by Mr. BURTON, the architect, for erecting a
fine street of buildings to be called " Lincoln's-inn-place," to
connect the Strand with Serle-street and Lincoln's-inn-fields.
The expence of the project would amount to nearly 200,000/. ;
but as the neighbourhood to be raised is one of the most mi-
serable description, it was conceived that the improvement would
be effected upon terms that would yield six per cent. interest to
those who subscribed their capital. Sir John Paul being called
to the chair, in a neat speech deprecated the idea that the objects
of the meeting should be confounded with the baneful chime-
rical projects that had too much abounded. The proposed im-
provement was one that had been long looked for, and would
not only be a great benefit to the parish, but to the public at
large. It was also a plan likely to repay those who, for the
general good, were willing to advance money for a public ser-
vice. Mr. Twining and Mr. Alakepeace spoke in favour of the
project, as did two or three gentlemen, who seemed interested
in the subject as a parochial one. Two gentlemen complained
of the inconvenience it would occasion to them by the removal
of their houses, and one recommended that the street should
be formed so as to make a communication with the south-west
corner, in preference to that proposed. Ultimately a committee
was formed to mature the plan, including Sir F. Ommaney, Sir
John Paul, Mr. Twining, &c., and a public meeting is to b 3
called to receive their report.

Mr. THOMAS MooRE left town on Monday for
Edinburgh, with the intention of calling on Sir
WALTER SCOTT in his way, chiefly for the pur-
pose, as we understand, of consulting with the
Baronet respecting the life of their illustrious
friend Lord
ByjtoN) which Mr. MOORE is about
to undertake.
