The Duchess of BEDFORD and her daughters,
who are now sojourning at Kinrara, a romantic chateau
belonging to his Grace in the Highlands, will meet the
Noble Duke towards the close of the autumn at Woburn,
which will be the scene of some splendid entertainments to
celebrate the long-talked-of matrimonial alliance between
the young Marquis of ABERCORN and Lady LoufsA
RUSSELL. Aberguldie Castle, where Lord ABERCORN
and his party are pursuing the sport of grous.,..shooting, is
about thirty miles distant from Kinrara.

Earl GREY, accompanied by his family,

A gentleman, said to be Earl of NIUNSTER,
but travelling under the name of OLDHAM, left Glasgow
this morning by the London mail, lie had arrived from
the north yesterday morning ; and, the fact having
spread, a number of persons were in waiting this morn.
ing, and gave a taint hiss as the mail drove off.— Glasgow
Chronicle of Monday.

CITY of ABERDEEN.—The contest for this
place may be said to be terminated, as since theregistration of
the voters it has been found that an overwhelming majority
are in favour of Mr. BANNERMAN. Out of 2,159 regis-
tered voters, I ,554 are pledged to Mr. BANNERMAN ; and,
although the remaining 575 were to vote for Provost
MADDEN (which is, however, not at all likely), there
would be still nearly three to one against him.

BARRINGTON.—The celebrated pickpocket
(if the last century, the predecessor of BILL SOAMES, was
horn at Rush, near Dublin, and his real name was WAL-
DRON, which lie changed when he came to England to
save his family from disgrace.
EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.—AiI
investigation is proceeding with in Thurles, into the con-
duct of two soldiers belonging to the 74th Regiment, on a
charge of selling ball-cartridge to some countrymen for
the purpose of despatching the life of a material crows
witness, who is bound to prosecute at the next Clonme,
assizes.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

Cabriolets have just been established in Al-
giers, to run in two lines—one from the Bab-Azoun Gate
to Mustapha, and the other from the Bab-el Oued Gate
to the DEY'S Garden, where the great military hospital is

situated.
ABSTINENCE.—SHELLEY was of opinion,
that abstinence from animal food subtilizes and clears the
intellectual faculties. For all the sensualities of the table
lie had an ineffable contempt, and, like NEwToN, used
sometimes to inquire if he had dined.
STANDARD NOVELS. Tile nineteenth
number of this highly popular series of modern fictions,
is, we p•rceive, just published. It consists of the second
and concluding volume of Miss JANE PORTER'S "Pastor's
Fire-side," a work which a high authority pronounced to
be the most vigorous in style, and the richest in character
and circumstance of any of the distinguished authoress's
productions. The present edition comprises an original
Inh oduction, written by Miss PORTER, expressly for
" The Standard Novels ;" but even with this interesting
addition (not to mention the four illustrative engravings)
the novel may now be had at about a third of its original
cost.

"L'ln the Court of the Duchy of Cornwall four
Leet Juries, enapannelled front different quarters of the
county, and as much of Devon as lies within its jurisdic-
tion, being elected, sworn, and united in one assembly,
constitute the Stannary Parliament, whose acts and ordi-
nances have the force of law. A similar constitution, but
with some minute varieties, is known to have subsisted,
and partly still to subsist, in the Isle of Man, and in the
islands of Jersey and Guernsey.
TITHES—ENGLAND.—We have conversed
with some intelligent gentlemen who passed through the
most populous part of England within a few days- They
represent the hostility to tithes as deep-rooted among the
people of that country as in Ireland, and that it only
wants a stimulant from Irish agitation to rouse it into
action. Every hour the tics between the democracy of
England and of Ireland draw closer. Their interests are
the same, and their efforts should and shall shortly be in
unison.—Dublin Morning Register,
