" The substance of these lectures is so excellent, that we con-

us. To the student it will be invaluable ; and we know no one so
advanced that he may not derive profit from the instructions of that
master of the art, Dr. Armstrong. Mr. Rix has our hearty thanks

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT WENTWORTH

HOUSE.

The much talked of fete to be given by Earl Fitzwilliam
in celebration of his eldest son and heir, Viscount Milton,
attaining his majority, and also to commemorate the mar-
riage of that young nobleman with a daughter of the Earl
of Liverpool, took place on Tuesday last at the Noble
,Earl's seat, NVentworth House, near Rotherham, Yorkshire.
It may probably be recollected that this festival was to have
taken place more than twelve months ago, but postponed
in consequence of the demise of the late venerable Earl.
The preparations, which have been making for some
weeks past, gave rise to considerable bustle amongst the
tradespeople in the vicinity of the Noble Earl's residence,
and hence many exaggerated reports. were. circulated as to
the magnitude of the entertainments. It was asserted that
their Majesties were to be present, and that several thou-
sand guests were invited, whilst the local prints indulged in
a bill of fare, which, in point of quantity, if not of quality,
would have proved sufficient to have satisfied the whole
Riding, or one-third of the extensive county. The "note
of preparation " appears to have deceived our generally
keen brethren of the north, and the whole affair has proved
to be only one of those festivals, which, from their frequent
occurrence nearer town, pass off with' no more than ordinary
notice.

Wentworth House had been several days previously oc-
cupied by the various members and connections of both
families ; and his Grace the Duke of Devonshire arrived
on the Saturday preceding. Very few besides these were
invited to the dinner on Tuesday, the grand feature being
the ball in the evening, and at which upwards of 1,100 of
the Nobility and Gentry of the county were present. The
mansion itself is situated in a beautiful park twenty miles in
circumference, we are informed, and possesses noble suits of
apartments, highly ornamented and embellished in the most
modern and refined taste. The spacious hall appropriated
to the ball is a quadrangular apartment, extremely lofty,
and having a gallery surrounding midway from the roof,
from the centre of which is suspended a magnificent chan-
delier, diffusing around ample light for any occasion, but
which was increased on this by innumerable variegated
lamps tastefully arranged arround the sides of the hall. A
temporary orchestra was erected, in which Mr. Weippert's
band, composed of 21 musicians from London, were sta-
tioned. Shortly after nine o'clock the ball was opened
with a quadrille, led off by—
The Duke of Devonshire, with Viscountess Milton.
Viscount Morpeth Lady Jenkinson.
Earl of Liverpool Hon. Miss Liddell.
Hon. L. Ashley Lady Lascelles.
Sir F. Dundas Lady S. Greville.
Other quadrilles followed, of which the most admired
were from the new French opera of Listocq, and others
composed expressly for the occasion. Dancing was sus-
tained with great animation until two o'clock, when supper
was announced in the lower suite of apartments, covers
being laid for upwards of 1,100. The repast consisted of
every delicacy of the season. Dancing was afterwards re-
sumed, and kept up with much spirit until half-past six
o'clock on Wednesday morning.
A military band was stationed in the vestibule, and the
whole scene was extremely splendid, and passed off with
great eclat.
