TILE NEW BARON IVENTWORTH.

A letter in the Manchester Examiner says :—I
happened in a recent letter to mention the curious
fact that the son and heir of Lord Lovelace, late
Lord Ockham, and now by Lady Byron's death,
Baron Wentworth, and heir to the very large
landed property bequeathed by the poet's
widow, is now working at Woolwich Arsenal as a
smith, at weekly wages. My friend of the Inde-
pendance Beige, in an almost textual translation of
the whole letter which contained this paragraph,
heightens the interest of this statement about the
grandson of Lord Byron, by adding—" His pay is
30 shillings a week ; I have seen him at work in
the shop with as much pluck and industry as any
of his mates. Between ourselves, there is at the
bottom—or rather at the top—of this eccentric
proceeding a young and pretty girl of the lower
orders, whom his lordship is unwilling to aban-
don, even to live in the highest and most envied
sphere of society." I need hardly say that this
is pure invention on the part of my indefatigable
translator, the correspondent of the Independance.
There is no " young and pretty girl of the lower
orders" in the affair at all. The young nobleman
in question ran away from school at an early age,
was missing for several
.Tears, in spite of large re-
wards offered for the discovery of him, bound him-
self apprentice aboard a coaster, underwent much
hardship in this miserable position of cabin-boy
aboard a north country collier ; was even at one
time reduced to the workhouse at a little town in
Yorkshire ; and, finally, when discovered by his
relatives, preferred to win his bread by the work of
his hands as a bolt maker at Woolwich arsenal,
where he is still, or was very recently, working.
He often, while in this employment, walked up to
Lord Byron's seat, near Ham, and remained over
Sunday, his day of leisure, as his guest, but always
was careful to return to Woolwich in time to begin
his work on Monday morning. I may add that
though I have not seen him at work in the arsenal,
a near relative of my own has seen him on the
trudge from Woolwich to Ham—a fine, stout,
handsome young man—in a blue pea jacket, long
boots, and a wide-awake, with a short pipe stuck
through the band. There may be eccentricity in
this conduct of the young nobleman, but I do not
believe there is anything either of excess or irre-
gularity in his conduct, or anything discreditable
in his metives.

THE EMPRESS AND THE YOUNG LADIES.—When
the Emperor and Empress were at Macon, the young ladies
of the town were permitted to offer a bouquet to her Ma-
jesty. They were headed by Mdlle. Lucotte, the mayor's
daughter, who addressed a neatly-turned compliment to the
Empress. Her Majesty drawing the young lady to her,
graciously expressed her thanks, and presented her with a
gold watch, at the same time embracing her with warmth,
which moved all the spectators, and drew forth criea of
" Vivo I'Empereur !" " Vive Imperat rice I" " Vive le
Prince Imperial !" The young ladies then ranged them-
selves on each side of the throne, and a deputation of girls
from Chardonnay, Uchizy, Plottes, and Les Bressanes,
wearing the picturesque costume of the Macconnais, wore
admitted to the Empress, and one of them, Mdlle. Coma-
trait, of Uchizy, delivered a suitable addres, and presented
her Majesty with a bouquet. The Empress expressed her
thanks, gave the speaker a gold watch, and complimented all
the deputation on their good looks:and pretty dresses. The
girls then withdrew, crying " Vive l'lmperatice I" " Vive
le Prince Imperial
A RIFLE VOLUNTEER SUMMONED FOR NON-
PAYMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION.—At the City Police-court,
yesterday, James Kelly, a private in the 10th Company cf
the 2d Manchester Rifle Regiment, was summoned under
the 51st sec. of the General Volunteer Act, for neglecting
snd refusing to pay on demand a certain sum of money
subscribed or required by the rules or regulations of the
corps. Lieutenant Furniss produced the written contract
of the defendant to pay 21s. as a subscription to the regi-
mental fund, and Os. to the company's fund, and explained
that the defendant had paid 63. towards this amount,
leaving a balance of 245. which was now demanded. The
defendant admitted his liability, but said that in conse-
quence of having been out of work for a time it was not in
his power to pay the money. Captain Percival, who com-
manded the company, had sent for his (defendant) uniform
and accoutrements, and as he had given them up, he did
not think that he should have been pressed for payment.
Mr. Ellison said there was no reason why the law
should not be put into operation The defendant had
become liable to a double payment (485.), an.l it must be
levied upon him. Eventually, on the defendant pleading
for a little time, Mr. Ellison said the Bench had considered
very seriously what the defendant had said, and they would
go so far as not to allow the warrant fer distress to issue for
14 days. In the meantime Captain Percival would have an
opportunity of deciding whether this was a fit case for miti-
gation of penalty, and if he thought it was, the Bench would
mitigate it iu some degree,—Atancheskr Guardian.
