His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, after his return from
Chatsworth, gave two or three friendly farewel dinners, either
at Devonshire House or at Chiswick, to his select friends. We
understood Lord Normanby was present at them all. His
Grace went down to the Cottage in Windsor Park by the espe-
cial command of the King, who has been affectionately at-
tached to the Noble Duke from a boy. -The parting at the
Cottage, where, in addition to his Majesty, were the Mar-
quess the Marchioness, and Lady Elizabeth Conyngham,
was kind in the extreme. The Noble Duke left town for Dover
on Monday, and in the evening arrived at Wright's Hotel.—
Yesterday his Grace sailed in one of the packets for Calais.—
The Duke's stay on the Continent is very uncertain • he will
visit Paris, and from thence proceed to Switzerland and Italy,
to join the Duchess. They will sojourn for some time with
the Duke's friend, Lord Burghers)), at Flotence, and proceed
thence to Rome, where the Duchess has a very fine Hotel.
It is probable his Grace will remain in Italy during the winter,
especially as the ceremonies connected with the election„ of a
new Pope, will draw towards the "Eternal City" all the Eng-
lish of any consideration or rank who may happen to be in that
part of the Continent.
Mr. and the Honourable Mrs. Hope will receive a few of
their fashionable friends at Deepdene, about the close of the
month.

The Marquis of Hertford is at present entertaining the Duke
of York, and a small of sportsmen, at his delightful re.
sidence at Sudburne, in Suffolk.
The game at Lulworth Castle, the residence of Mr. Secre-
tary Peel, has this season been unusually abundant. The Duke
of York, and a chosen few, have promised to pay the Right
Hon. Secretary a visit during the season.

FONTHILL ABBEY, SEPT. 16.

The attendance in the sale-room to-day was much improved,
and there was a greater number of Ladies present than usual.
The piles of erudition of all ages which are displayed here, are
not very attractive to the bright eyes of such fair visitors; but
when the pictures and magnificent Lijoutevie come to be
diaposed of, it is probable that the sale-room will present a
greater variety of fascination than any other part of the Abbey.
At one o'clock Mr. Rut ',LIPS appeared on the rostrum, and
after having, as usual, adverted to the conditions of sale, he
observed that certain rumours of an injurious and illiberal
nature had been industrously circulated in certain papers, with
a view to the detriment'of the sale., It had•been, sent abroad that
whatever was most valuable and choice, and constituted the
very flower of the library, had ~haen..disposed of by private
contract ; such a statement, he assured, the company, was to-
tally without a shadow of truth, not a book had been removed,
but according to the terms of the ageement between Mr fleck-
ford and Mr. Farquhar; but subsequently' to that agreement
not a book bad been withdrawn. The prejudicial report had
been first disseminated by a Journal, which he, with great
regret, had learned, that morning, belonged to a company of
booksellers ; the object of such a statement could not be mis-
taken. He repeated that it was utterly groundless, and that
Mr. Farquhar's solicitor had directions to take the proper
notice of it.

The sale then commenced. The following were the Works
which produced the most competition :

This last book, when handsomely bound, is worth intrinsi-
cally about six shillings, but as it contains several notes and
references, which we republished, in, the hand-writing of Mr.
Beckford, an agent of that entleman was desirous.of purchas-
ing the book, but its value' had been so much enhanced by the
notoriety which the publication of- the notes gave it., that
although it was set up at the price of five shillings, the compe-
tition, which was chiefly between Mr: Clarke and a literary gen-
tleman from London, was so great, that it was knocked down
to the former at the extravagant pries of 4/. ills.

The intimacy which subsisted betiveen the late Lord Nelson
and Mr. Pecktord is well known.' :The fete which that gen-
tleman gave to our great naval warrior, on his return from the
battle of the Nile, is remembered as the most sumptuous and
magnificent which this country ever beheld, and in honour of
his memory one of the turrets of the Abbey is called Nelson's
turret, in which also his bust is- placed. There is a book in
this collection, called an Authentic Nur:Able of the Death of
Lord Nelson, by Dr. Wm. Beatty.--In the blank leaves in
