It has been found necessary to postpone the grand civic en-
tertainment which usually takes place at Easter to the middle of
Mav, in consequence of the extensive repairs which the Egyptian
Hall, the only apartment in the Mansion House in which the
Easter visitors can be accommodated, is undergoing. It is
calculated that in the middle of May the Nail will be quite fit
for the reception of the company. The improvement in the
whole appearance of the place will be so great as to excuse the
postponement. On Easter Monday his Lordship will give a
dinner to the Aldermen, City Law Officers, and a select party
of friends.

The Duchess of Gloucester visited the Princess Augusta,
yesterday, their Royal Highnesses afterwards took an airing in

An ELOPEMENT took place yesterday morning from the

were Miss S—, a wealthy heiress, turned 20 years of age,
and the son of a Baronet. Trace has been had of the parties,
and the pursuers are in full chace northward. The lady, ac-
companied by a man-servant, did not return home from a
perambulation of the neighbouring sipic.res, nor has the foot-
man been u yetreturnable.
Ma. HATNE AND Mess FooTE.—Great pains have been
taken to keep the affairs of these parties before the public ; but
the truth has not yet been stated. The fact is, that the mar-
, riage settlements were actually signed by both parties, and that
Miss Foote was the parson who declined the match, although
one year's pin-money (5001.) had been paid in advance to her
Solicitor, Mr. Gill. The marriage was to.have taken place on
Sunday, at Dover, from whence the happy pair were to have
proceeded to the Continent to spend the honeymoon ; but on
the Saturday night Sir. 'Jayne was verbally assured by Mr.
Gill, that Miss Foote had changed her mind.--(Morning
Chronicle.)

Lord CO-lIBERMEIIE passed through Chester on
Sunday last, on his way to the ancient family seat' Comber-
