LORD OsoßY.—After an absence ofi34leriirs,
this much-respected Nobleman was lately induced
to visit his paternal estates in Ireland; from whence
he returned to his seat in Ampthill-park, Beds,
a few days ago. As might be ekpected, his nu-
merous tenantry were highly gratified once more
to see their noble landlord. Their unpolished
extacy was almost enthusiasm. On his arrival
at Castle Town and from thence to Upper Ossory
they dispensed with the horses, and drew him and
the Ladies FITiPATRICK a great distance, voci-
ferating their blessings in true-Irish expresSion;
A ball was given on the occasion, and rich and
poor vied with each other in testifying their,feel-
ings by the most rapturous indications of heart-
lelt joy,
