the dining room ; after which, the whole visitors assembled in
the court, between the old and esew castle ; on the former (a
picturesque ruin) was erected a ht we pile of wood, &c. which
was then lighted up, blazed aloft., and shed a lustre on the
scenery around and groups below, th.at rendered the picture one
of the most grand and imaginable. The company then with-
drew to the ball room, which was spiendidly and tastefully
adorned with evergreens in immense festoons, mottos, and
emblematical devices. Soon after Lord and Lady Gywdyr
made their appearance, the latter attired as a chieftainesa, ac-
companied by the distinguished visitors at the Castle. Count
Flahault carried a beautiful cherub in his arms—the young
heir, whose appearance produced a alsout of joy. Dancing
then commenced, and was kept up with admirable spirit ; his
Lordship and his beautiful family, with that condescension
which sits so becomingly on greatness, mixing so familiarly
with their visitors, and dancing with the humblest in the room.
During the evening their healths were- drank with enthusiasm.
An elegant marble font, at the head of the room, was filled
with the. pure" mountain dew," which was distributed around
in beautiful shells. The arrangements were altogether pleas-
ing, anti no pains were spared to render the meeting one of
the greatest festivity. The company reluctantly parted itt a
late hour in the morning.—( Cakdoniaa Mercury!.)

DISSOLUTION 'OF PAR LI A 111 EXT.—We perceive
that the idea a an approaching Dissolution of
Parliament becocaes daily more and more preva-
lent. General PE,,,cHEy and Mr. MEavyN• 11 AY-

opposition to the, p`resent'Members. MOP Wit...

SIR THOMAS 14.1.MZIIENCE.—lt is said that this
great Artist is gone to Paris for the purpose of
painting a whole kngth Portrait of the King of
FRANCE. It is probable that no other Artist
throughout Europe better fitted for the task,
imd the application is peculiarly honourable to
the genius of this coun try.
Messrs. PHILLIPS :and Wir.xt7e, the Royal
Academicians, it seems, are gone together on a
tour throng!' Italy; each for the purpose of ob-
serving the treasures of Art, but the latter chiefly
for the improveMent of biS health.
!*;t-Titc,EßY.—M...Ltsriwic, surgeon in chief of
the Hospital of La Piti6, at Paris, has successfully employed
the chlorate of lime in, preventinA: infection from bodies in a
putrid state, and also in curing simple ulcers.: lie has succeed-
ed by this method in restoring patients upon whom, during
several months, the usual remedies had no effect; and has also
tied it upon recent burns, with very good results.
It is a curioqs circumstance in nature of the
Esquitnaux dogs, that they have so great a dread
of water as to require a severe healing before
they will go into it; while their neighbours, the
dogs of Newfoundland, have altogt!ther as great
a/I attachment to the liquid -etegten't,
