It is reported that Lady MARIA CONTNGIIAM is about
to bestow her hand upon the eldest son of Mr. TiloM AS
HOPE, and grandson of the late Lord DECI ES, Archbishop
of Tuam. The name of HOPE has so long been assq-
elated in the public mind with the perfection of female
beauty, and the highest order of masculine abilities, that
we rejoice to hear a rumour of the elevation of the head
of the family to the Peerage ; an honour to which his
great opulence and respectability, and noble alliances,
appear to afford a sufficient claim. Mr. HENRY HOPE
has been recently appointed Groom of the Bedchamber
to his MAJ EST Y.—lbid.
