GRAND FETE AT NEWBY HALL,

On Thursday last the Right Hon. Lotil GRAN..
TRAM gave a grand entertainment to the Officers
of the Northern Regiment of West Riding Yeo-
manry Cavalry, and to a numerous and distin-
guished party of Nobility and Gentry, at his
Lordship's seat at Newby Hall, in this Riding.
The company, which was unusually brilliant and
fashionable, began to arrive at nine o'clock, when
they were introduced through the grand entrance,
lined with the servants of his Lordship, and
ushered through the state apartments to the sa-
loon (noted for the exquisite is pestry by which it
is decorated), where they were received by Lord
and Lady Grantham, with the most polite and
affable attentions. Thesplendid suites of rooms,
which compose this magnificent mansion,- were
entirely thrown open to the distinguished visitors.
The front of the house was beautifully illuminated
with festootis, &c. of variegated lamps, which had
a matt striking and brilliant effect, as the com-
pany entered the Park Gates, and proce,ded
through the grounds.—Dancing commenced' in
the ball-room at ten o'clock, by which time about
two hundred visitors had arrived.—The dancing
was kept up with unremitting spirit till one o'clock,
when supper was. announced. Tables were laid
in the statue gallery for one hundred and thirty.
This gallery, by the way, is remarkable for the floe
collection of statuary, collected by Mr. iVeddell,
which, admirably dis.orwri, and stiewn to'ad-van-
tage by the lustre of the Grecian lamps, had a
classical effect that can only be conceived by those
who have seen these almost matchless specimens
of sculpture. The remainder of the company
supped in three other splendid apartments, on
every delicacy of the season, entirely set ved op on
the family plate, with the most delicious wines.
After slipper, dancing was resuMed, and continued
till past five in the morning. I-liooms were, dur-
ing this interval, opened for refreshment, wit re
many of the party even took breakfast before their
departure.—lt is not the least remarkablei fealure
of.this brilliant fate, that the whole of the nume-
rous company were accommodated
.within the
mansion of Newby Hall itself, without the, aid of
temporary erections. The whole neighbourhood
%sere alive ; and the peasantry were made happy
as well as their more opulent neighbours ; while
even the servants and other persons employed in
the fete, had every comfortable rOieshment in
suitable apartments. We regret that we have not
been able to ascertain the nrmes of all the noble
and distinguished families ivilo graced the enter-
tainment with their presence.—AMongst them
were the following
