EARL DURHAM AND MR. LIDDEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUNDEE CHRONICLE.
" Sir—When Earl Durham, the quondam Mr. Lambton,
is so near our gates—nay, enters them to-morrow, you may not
think it inopportunely to niche the following of him in your
paper. " A LIBERAL."
In 1820, I think, having written to Sir Thomas Liddell
(who was then with the King at Brighton), t.o.request his
vote and interest, Mr. Lambton received the following very
" courtly" answer :
"My Dear Sir—ln times like the present, it is impossible
to allow private feelings• to take place of a sense of public
duty. I think your conduct as dangerous in Parliament, as it
is in your own county. Were you my brother, therefore, I
could not give you my support.
( Signed) " THOMAS LIDDELL."
On receipt, the patriot of Durham returned the following
laconic, noble, and spirited answer :
" My Dear Thomas—ln answer to your letter I beg to say,
I feel gratitude for your frankness, compassion for your fears,
little dread of your opposition, and no want of your support.
(Signed) " J. G. LAMBTON."

The Earl of Darlington and a party are preparing
to take the field at Melton Mowbray. His Lordship proceeded
on Monday from Upper Brook-street, for Leicestershire.
Count Matuszewic, in consequence of his approaching depar-
ture for St. Petersburgh, will break up his establishment at
Melton, greatly to the regret of that distinguished hunt.

Lord Kinnaird has been entertaining the Earl of
Durham and a distinguished party of sportsmen, at his seat,
Rossi° Castle, near Dundee, where Lord Durham arrived
from a visit to the Marquis of Breadalbane, at Taymouth
Castle. Lord D. was to arrive on Friday at Lambton Castle
from Rossie.

The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch are now at

cessively the guests of the Earl of Cawdor, at Cawdor Castle ;
the Duchess of Sutherland, at Dunrobin ; the Duke of Gor-
don, at Gordon Castle ; and they will shortly proceed to Bow-
bill, the Duke's seat, Selkirkshire. On the 26th instant a
deputation of the feuars of Newcastleton, Liddisdale, waited on
his Grace at Langholme, when the Duke granted a reduction

Yestqrday afternoon (Saturday) the Provost, Dean
of Guild, and Baillie Booth, accompanied by Mr. Angus,
Depute Town Clerk, waited, by appointment, upon his Grace
the Duke of Buccleuch, the President, and the Marquis of
Tweeddale, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Highland and
Agricultural Society of Scotland, and presented them with
the Freedom of the City, as had been resolved on at a special
meeting of the Council in the morning. Both Noblemen ex-
pressed themselves much gratified by the compliment, and
highly pleased with their visit to Aberdeen. The Provost
and Dean of Guild afterwards waited on his Grace the Duke
of Gordon, the Senior Vice-President, to express the great
respect of the Council for his Grace, and to explain that the
circumstance of his being already a Burgess of the city, pre-
vented them from paying the only compliment to his Grace
which they had it in their power to offer.—Aberdeen Herald.

.Mr. 13U.LWER'S NOVELS.—We are requested to
state that new and cheaper editions of Mr. Bulwer's popular
stories of Falkland," " The Disowned," " Devereux," and
" Paul Clifford " arc now on sale, at the various booksellers.
Of the latter work, " Paul Clifford," it has been justly ob-
served, that the character of Brandon, shows in its author a
deep knowledge of human nature, not obtained from, books, but
by looking right through the hearts of men—not the rep of
history, or the men of poetry, but the men of reality, who live
the life, who struggle, speak, write, wheedle, trim, smile,
assert, retract, deny, but still push on, deceiving and deceived,
to their great end—power or wealth—on the arena of this, our
most vicious, most glorious metropolis.
A splendid entertainment was on Friday evening
given at the Angel Inn, Cardiff, to the Marquis of Bute, as a
testimony of the high respect entertained by the inhabitants of
that town for his Lordship's character, and for the benefits
which he has recently conferred on the town of Cardiff. About
six o'clock the great room was filled by 120 gentlemen, who sat
down to a sumptuous entertainment, Walter Coffin, Esq., in
the Chair, and J. M. Richards, Esq., of Roath, as Vice-Pre-
sident. Several gentlemen, whom the great room could not
conveniently receive, also sat down to dinner in a lower room.
