LORD DURHAM'S DlNNER.—Yesterday the com-
mittee for making the necessary preparatory arrangements,
met in the town Hall, and agreed to a list of toasts, and also to
a list of stewards. It was intimated by Mr. Bell, under the
authority of Mr. Hamilton, that the Pavilion would contain
1,400 persons to dinner, that there would be five rows of tables
running east and west on the level part of the room (two rows
of sitters at each of the tables), and seven rows of single
tables on each side of the Hall, facing towards the five double
rows, and that besides the accommodation of 1,400, there
would be two galleries at the ends of the Hall, the one for
ladies and the other for gentlemen ; each gallery to have four
rows of seats, and to contain 150 persons. We are pleased to
find that the fair sex are to be permitted to witness this inter-
esting political festival. No man who witnessed the Grey de-
monstration in Edinburgh, could fail to remark the fine novel
effect of the presence of a number of elegant ladies, and Glas-
gow we know need not decline a comparison with any city in
the empire, for the beauty of her daughters. We observe
that Lord Durham has indignantly contradicted the statements
in the Edinburgh Review just published, respecting his share
in the Reform Bill. Of course the contradiction must have
reference to the incredible statement that his Lordship was at
first in favour of a 201. qualification.—Scots Times.

An authentic report of the late Edinburgh Reform
festival has made its appearance. The precise number of per-
sons at the dinner was, it seems, 2,166, and a complete list of
their names is appended. Thirty-five public bodies, consisting
of the chief magistrates and town councils of so many royal
burghs, presented addresses to the noble Earl : there were
presented besides twenty-eight addresses from other public
not incorporated bodies. The Marquis Wellesley, in his letter
of reply to the invitation to the dinner, which has not yet been
made public, says, "No circumstance in my public life is re-
garded by me with more satisfaction than to have served under
the councils of the Earl Grey in the station which I now hold;
and it will always be my most anxious wish to be numbered
amongst the principal admirers of his liberal principles, splen-
did talents, eminent virtues, and high public services."

THOMAS BISH, ESQ., M.P.--The Hon. Member
for Leominster, accompanied by some members of his family
and a few friends, have arrived in this city on their way to
Cork, and thence to visit the Lakes of Killarney. There is
no English Member of Parliament who has evinced a more
anxious desire to benefit the condition of our country, or who
has obtained more accurate information of its wants and their
remedies. The very clever pamphlet entitled a " Plea for
Ireland," lately published, is a convincing proof of the Hon.
Gentleman's wish to promote the welfare of Ireland.—Water-
ford Mirror.

HANIMERSMITII SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—The
frequenters of Richmond will be glad to hear that the city
authorities have conceded a point contested for some years as
to the new road from Hammersmith Suspension-bridge by
Barnes-terrace to Richmond. A new towing-path is now
being constructed, taking the bed of the river for its founda-
tion, in that part of the road which fronts Mrs. Hibbert's
house and grounds. The old towing path is thus given up
to the company, and the carriage road will now be completely
free from the dangers and inconveniences which have hereto-
fore been the opprobrium of this spot. The opposition of
Interested parties for some years has prevented this nuisance
from being abated. The united efforts of the respectable inha-
bitants of Richmond, Barnes, and Mortlake have at length
triumphed, the Thames Navigation Committee having acceded
to their wishes, and with a liberality worthy the Corporation
of the city of London, refused all pecuniary offers, insisting
upon constructing the path at their own expense. The new
road through Mortlake and Barnes will be one of the most
delightful drives out of London.

stomach.-- The Cook.

RETURNED EMIGRANTS.—A curious scene was
witnessed at Tattershall Bridge on Tuesday last. Three men
who had left that neighbourhood the year before for America
had come up by the steam-packet from Boston, where they
had landed after returning in disgust from their fancied world
of rare-doings. They had nearly spent their last farthing
on entering the public-house at the Bridge, and on the land-
lady demanding pay for their refreshment, one of them had
nothing wherewith to satisfy his creditor. The landlady,
taking him for an impostor, declared he should not quit her
house without payment, upon which the returned emigrant
arose, saying he had suffered enough in the last year, and
since he was now but a few miles from his home, if he might
not be permitted to see his wife again he would drown him-
self. The man actually rushed out, and jumping into a boat,
was about to throw himself into the Witham ; he was forcibly
held down by two men who were in the boat, while some
gentlemen who were in the house and witnessed his wretched
look, came and assured him they had paid his debt. The
distressed man then consented to live 1 Three families were
at Boston preparing for America, and hearing the account
given by the three miserable individuals alluded to, deter-
mined to wait awhile, and turn over the matter of their emi-
gration again ere they took their departure.—Lincoln Mercury.
