LORD GEORGE BENTINCK.

At the anniversary meeting of the Waltham A gri-
cultural Association, held some days since, the Duke
of Rutland in the chair, it was resolved, on the
motion of Mr. Newbolt, of Sleaford, seconded by
Mr. Beasley, of Harston, that some tribute of re-
spect should be paid to the memory of Lord George
Bentinck ; and that, as a preliminary measure, the
Duke of Rutland should be requested to communi-
cate with the Duke of Portland, expressing the lass
the society had sustained by the death of the Noble
Lord, and condoling with his Grace upon that me-
lancholy and unexpected event.

The following correspondence has taken place:—
" Palace, Sept. 27, 1848.
" My dear Duke,—My first impulse, on learning the
sad intelligence which has carried desolation to your
house, was to write to you; but I forbore on recollect-
ing how little consolation I could impart, and how con-
fidently rely upon your giving me credit for the Iv:ate-
ness of my sympathetic feeling, the consequences not
simply of long-continued and strong attachment towards
yourself, but of the friendship and regard which has
subsisted for so many years between your deeply-la-
mented son and myself:.

" It is now a satisfaction to me that I did forbear to
write to you, for I am commissioned to do so officially,
and to communicate to you the feelings and sentiments
of a largo company, over which I had the honour ,to
preside on Monday evening last, namely, the Waltham
Agricultural Association.

."
As President and Chairman, it was my intention to
have proposed the memory of poor George Bentinck to
be drunk in melancholy silence; but a wish was ex-
pressed to me by several agriculturists present, that it
might originate with them; and it was moved by Mr.
Newbolt, from near Sleaford, seconded by Mr. Beasley,
of Harston, near Belvoir, and cordially and unanimously
agreed to by the whole company, that a resolution
should be conveyed to you by myself, expressive of the
deep sympathy and condolence of the Waltham Agricul-
tural Association, on the occasion of the irreparable loss
with which it has pleased the Almighty to afflict you:
their earnest hope that the same hand which inflicted
the blow will support you under its effects; their
grateful sense of the benefits which they and the agri-
cultural budy of the kingdom have derived from his
able and persevering advocacy of their cause; and their
admiration of his great and manifold talents as a
public man.
" That the communication, although it may not con-
sole, may at least soothe you under this deplorable dis-
pensation of an all-wise Providence, is the sincere wish of
" My dear Duke, yours most truly,
" RUTLAND.

" His Grace the Duke of Portland."

" Welbeck, Sept. 29, 1848.
" Dear Duke of Rutland,—Nothing can be more con-
solatory than such communications as those contained in
your letter, and which have reached me from many
quarters.

" I am sure I need not say that if anything could add
to their value, it would be that they come from you.
"I remain, dear Duke of Rutland,
" Yours, very sincerely,
" SCOTT PORTLAND."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Dreadful Enlargement of
the Knee, Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
Abraham Banks, an elderly man living near the Dry
Creek, South Australia, had such a painful affection
and enlargement of the knee, that he diapaired of ever
recovering the use of his limb, the numerous remedies that
he made trial of failing to banish or even to mitigate the
disease. In this suffering condition he was advised to
try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and he commenced
a regular application of them, which in a short time
effected a complete cure. The Adelaide Observer of the
25th March, 1848, publishes this as one among the many
astonishing cures effected, in South Australia, by these
invaluable medicines.—Sold by all Druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
