LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO THE

WEST RIDING.

On Sunday forenoon, the Premier, with Lady
Palmerston, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., and
other guests at Fryston Hall, accompanied by their
host, M. Milnes, Esq., M.P., attended divine ser-
vice at the church of Ferry Fryston. The sacred
edifice, which is very small and very plain, stands
close to the boundary of the grounds of Fryston,
and near Ferry Bridge, from which latter place
there is a narrow footway, passing underneath the
railway to York, and for a short distance lined with
willows. The church is prettily situated, but it
has some very damp osier beds close at hand. It
was crowded to the porches on Sunday forenoon ;
and the Pontefract Rifle Volunteers, headed by
their band, marched from the Market-place to the
church, most of the Volunteers attending service.
Yesterday was devoted by his lordship in visit-
ing the houses, farms, &c. of his tenants at Fair-
burn, and he was in the evening entertained at
dinner by the tenants. Before his lordship left
Fryston Hall, however, there was a " meet" of the
Badworth fox-hounds in the vicinity of the hall,
which the Premier witnessed, although he did not
mount. The day was good for the scent, and a
couple of foxes were started. One was, however,
speedily lost, and could not again be made to break
cover; and the second, after being started with
difficulty, made a short run, which he closed by
taking a flying leap over the wall of a garden in
the neighbourhood of Burton Salmon Station, and
as he had on the other side a fall of 12 feet or 15
feet he ended ignominously by breaking his own
neck, to the evident disgust of the pack as well as
of the huntsman and the field. As the meet was
what is called a private one, the field was not very
numerous ; but Lord Hawke, Mr. George Leigh,
and other well-known foxhunters were of the
number.
Lord Palmerston left Fryston Hall about noon,
accompanied by Mr. Milnes and the Right Hon.
W. Cowper, and attended by the Messrs. Arundel,
solicitors, of Leeds and Pontefract, his lordship's
agents. The party rode to Fairburn, a small vil-
lage about three miles from Fryston ; and there his
lordship entered the houses of, and chatted with,
all his tenants. He also rode over the farms. The
Fairburn estate comprises nearly 1,400 acres of
average land ; but his lordship had not visited it,
previous to yesterday, for the last 27 years. The
pocket-book which his lordship carried in his hand,
and the frequent jottings-down which he made,
gave evidence of intended changes, which it was
very clear the tenants did not think would
be be to their disadvantage. One old dame, who
remembered his lordship's visit in 1833, as well as
the previous one which he paid to Fairburn, was
enthusiastic upon the subject. "He's a good land-
lord," said she, in rich Yorkshire dialect, " or his
agents are good, which are the same thing. And he
was a very handsome man when he came afore—l
mean he was younger then, for he is very handsome
now, you know, for his age." So evidently thought
many more of the gentler sex of Fairburn village.
One very charzketeristic story we heard of his lordship.
While passing through the village he stopped before
a small, low, stone building, the heavy and rusted
padlock and fastenings of which showed that the
place was seldom used, anti had not been opened for
a long time. " What's this ?" said his lordship ;
and he was answered, " The lock-up." " The
lock-up ! Why, it's worthy of Naples. Pray, to
whom does it belong ?" "To your lordship." "To
me " Yes, my lord." "Ah !" rejoined the Pre-
mier, " then let it be pulled down, and that
quickly, if you please." So the little old dismal
prison is doomed, and will soon disappear from
the village, to whose inhabitants generally judg-
ing from their appearance, it has long ceased to
be an object of terror, because they needed neither
terror nor warning to cause them to avoid that
which might lead to an acquaintance with its in-
terior.
Between four and five o'clock the Fairburn
tenantry entertained their noble landlord at dinner,
in the dining-room of the Ledsham Vicarage,
which was kindly offered for the purpose, by the
Rev. Mr. Landon, the vicar, the village not con-
taining a room in which the entertainment could
have been given. The party, including ['guests
and tenantry (Lady Palmerston being amongst
the former) did not, we believe, occeed 30;
and by his lordship's strongly
expressed requeet,
the gathering was a strictly' private one.
