Lady Newborough was confined on Thursda
last at Glynnllior Castle near Carnarvon with a son and
heir. The auspicious event gave rise to a manifestation of
rejoicing unusual in that retired part of Wales. Cannon
was fired, and all the craft in the harbour displayed their
different flags. In the evening Carnarvon was partially
illuminated. His Lordship, who resides the greater part
of the year at the above seat, is deservedly respected by
his neighbours, and from that circumstance the display of
good feeling towards the noble family of Wynn was more
than ordinarily enthusiastic on that joyous occasion.

at Milton House, near Peterborough, the seat of Earl
Fitzwilliam, on Saturday week. We understand her lady.

cause was assigned for the rash act. Verdict, " Tempo-
rary insanity."
