LORI) NEWBOROUGH'S COMING OF AGE.

DE ifilm it, APRIL 3.—The approach of this auspicious event
was naturally anticipated with great anxiety by his Lordship's
numerous tenantry, as well in this country as in the neigh.
bouring county of Carnarvon, where he stands foremost upon
the list of landed proprietors. A long minority tsixteen or
seventeen years, we believe) had made them almost unacquaint-
ed with those numberless ties of reciprocal affection and regard
which of right belong to, and associate themselves with, the
connection between landlord and tenant; and although the
latter had no reason to complain of the conduct of the guar-
dians and trustees of his Lordship's extensive possessions, yet
they consistently aspired to a closer alliance with their natural
protector, and looked to this event as consecrating a kind of
compact between them, having for its basis, upon his part, an
unbounded desire to promote their prosperity, by every means
which liberality and kindness could dictate ; id upon theirs,
an ardent disposition to evince their gratitude, by such de.
monstrations of respect and devotion, as might best requite
the legitimate guardian of their civil rights and the probable
conservator (speaking of the latter county) of their political
ptivileges.—We rejoice, therefore, in common with so flume.
rous and valuable a portion of the community, that every anti-
cipation which they could have formed of their young land..
lord's generous anti noble spirit, has been amply confirmed ;
and coinbining this happy commencement of their intercourse,
with the reported merits of his Lordship's character in other
respects, they have every right to cherish the most confident
hopes of future prosperity and happiness, under the benevo.
lent protection of his house. We have reason to know, that
the preparations made in the different parts of Carnarvon,
to which bis Lordship's immense property extends, for
celebrating this happy event, were on a scale correspond.
ing in all respects with the interests, which it was so
deeply calculated to excite, and we fancy, that they will be
found to have equalled, if not exceeded, in abundance and festi.
vity, any former one of a similar kind, which the Principality
has ever witnessed ; we confine ourselves, however, necessarily,
'to this neighbourhood, where, comparatively, his Lordship's
property is of trifling extent. On the morning of Thursday, the
3d inst. the bells first announced the happy event which the
subsequent part of the day was to celebrate, and as the dinner
hour approached, the tenantry of his Lordship began to collect at
the .Back-row Inn, kept by Mr. Evans, where ample prepara-
tion had been made for their reception ; at the hour of three
o'clock the whole had assembled, and sat down to a most abund-
ant and excellent dinner, provided at his Lordship's expence;
an overflow of the native beverage, creme, in the highest per-
fection, followed in succession ; nothing, in fact, was omitted,
which could impart comfbrt in abundance,--and nothing, con-
sequently, could exceed the joy and happiness which for the
whole evening appeared to pervade this festive picture of sub.
stantial enjoyment. In token of personal respect for his Lord-
ship's character, and the dignified station in life which he
was now so well qualified to fill, many of the respectable gentle-
men of the town repaired to this happy scene of festivity during
the evening, and aleo partook of drinking the health of the young
nobleman,_ of the: beverage of their native country ; among these
we remark—the Rector of Denbigh, the Vicar of Llanrhaitir, J.
Hughes, Es q. Alderman of the Borough ; Edward Jones, H.
11. (lough, Richard Lloyd Williams, Hugh Lloyd, and Thos.
Lodge Emirs, &c. &c.; and amongst those who distin-
guished themselves most, in promoting the festivity of
this happy occasion, was the Rev. Mr. Williams, Vicar of
Llanrhazdre, who embraced this opportunity of difibsing:delight
and happiness among the younger orders in his own neighbour-
hood, by providing an excellent dinner for the boys of the
village school, and thus adding another prpof of the anxiety
which he always manifests to render hirnselfpopular andrespect-
ed. Lord Newborough is an Irish Peer, and consequently
cannot sit in the Upper House of Parliament, except by
election ; but we apprehend there can be no doubt of his suc-
ceeding to the representation of his own county, on the first
vacancy.—( Cheater Courant, April 11)
