FETE AT HOLLY LODGE.—On Saturday the
Duchess of St. Albans gave another of her exquisite dijefiner
fetes, at Holly Lodge, at which the guests were even more
numerous than at the others during the season. The house
and grounds were decorated with choice flowering plants, the
balconies filled with pink hydrangeas and white lilies, the
long walk and the lawn before the house had orange trees full
of fruit, and round the door and the music tent were stands of
splendid flowers. Three large temporary rooms were erected,
hung with pink and white, the draperies wreathed with roses,
and at the end large looking-glasses were placed, which
doubled the gay scene. The entertainments commenced
about three o'clock, by a concert, conducted by Sir G. Smart
and Signor Gabussi, in which, besides all the foreign "stars,"
Grisi, -Malibran, Stockhausen, Lablache, Tamburini, Rubini,
&c., her Grace brought forward English talent by engaging
Mr. and Mrs. Bishop, Mr. and Mrs. Knyvett, Philips, and
several others. During the intervals between the singing, the
Coldstream band played in the grounds. About six o'clock
the guests sat down to the usual recherche" class of refresh-
ments; after which they went to the hill, where the Grand
Falconer exhibited a flight of hawks. Dancing then com-
menced in the tent and ball-room, continuing until near mid-
night, except during the interval occupied by the fireworks,
which were splendid and of the most novel description, ending
with a beautiful star of various colours, encircling the Duke's
crest and cypher. All the trees throughout the grounds were
hung with light green lamps, and the grass was thickly studded
with them likewise, so that the appearancee from the house
was most beautiful. Her Grace had the dancing terminated
shortly before midnight.
Sheridan Knowles has returned in high spirits (that

accommodation of strangers, and to provide rooms at a mode-
rate charge for these who may attend the meeting. The

mediately before the meeting at Bonn, to which it will after-
wards adjourn. The meeting of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science will be held this year at Dublin,
on the 10th of August, so as to allow time for those who desire
to be present both there and at Bonn.

general were bearing a high price, and the defendant
in this case having taken some particular fancy to a cloak,
which had been exposed for sale, offered 251., of which lot.
was paid on delivery, and a promise to pay up the remainder
in a few days. An action was brought. The Court, how-
ever, dismissed it on its demerits.
MR. BANINI.—We believe it is pretty generally the
impression of the public, that during Sir Robert Peel's short
administration, a pension was conferred on poor Banim, but
we are sorry to say that the pension is yet to be bestowed.
His health is somewhat improved, but he is as yet utterly
helpless, with little prospect, we are grieved to say, of material
amendment.—Dublin Register.

part of the premises are considerably injured, we are happy to
say that the works will not be stopped.

The Fast Day in Scotland occasioned the appre-
hension of several sinful singing men. The Provost of Pais-
ley, according to the Glasgow Courier, thus addressed one of
the offenders :—" Instead of being ashamed, you attempt to
qualify your graceless conduct by attempting to compare your
sinful meetinc, and singing, to the annoyance of the feelings
of every true Christian, with what was done by the respectable
company assembled in the Hope Temple Garden. Some un-
ruly people there might be sent by the enemy to create dis-
turbance.",
THUNDER STORM.-011 Wednesday last, the
village of Torry was visited by a thunder storm, accompanied
with a tremendous fall of rain and hail. It lasted for about
the best part of an hour. The rain fell in torrents, after
which came the hailstones—which fell so thickly that they lay
three inches deep between the potatoe furrows. All the trees
and bushes within the influence of the storm were almost stript
of their foliage, and much injury done to the fruit and vege-
tables in the gardens.—Edinburgh Courant.

rough and hundreds of Aylesbury is not abandoned, but will

exorbitant Returning Officers, appointed, in the present in-
stance, by the agent of the Duke of "Buckingham.—Bucks

China, is a missing ship, and that apprehensions exist of her
having fallen into the hands of pirates. Insurances were
yesterday effected at Lloyd's, we understand on both ship and
cargo of teas, at a premium of fifty guineas per cent. The
Diamond, Garraway, with spices, chiefly nutmegs, out about
one hundred days from the Cape of Good Hope, had some
insurance effected upon her yesterday, at twelve guineas per
cent.—Morning Paper.
EFFECT OF THE RAILWAY NEAR EDINBURGH.
—WC never expected to see the fine Mid-Lothian coal so
cheap as it now is in Edinburgh and Leith—viz., from 7s. 6d.
to Bs. 6d. per ton • and the price is not partly nominal, as it
used to be before Are railway was made, when no one could be
certain as to the weight he received. The railway has virtually
brought the great colleries into town.—Edinburgh Weekly
Journal.

No fairer proof of the real feeling of the rated inha-
bitants of Canterbury, can be adduced than the fact, that in
the late elections for guardians of the poor, the Reformers had
a majority of about twenty to eight. Such would be the cer-
