The Duke and Duchess of MARLBOROUGH have
teen entertaining a large party at Blenheim dor-.
ing the Christmas holidays, consisting of the F.'irt
and Countess of Jersey, Lord Charles Spencer,
Air. and Lady Amelia Boyce, Sir Henry, Mr. Mrs.
and Miss Dashmood, Mr. Tierney, Mr. Trefusis,
Mr. Agar, and several other friends ; and on Sa-
turday last many of the neighbouring families
were invited to a splendid. repast given in honour
GE the. birth-day of the Marquis of Blandford.—
The evening was concluded by a brilliant concert,
in which his Grace and his amiable and accom-
plished daughter bore a distinguished part. Mr.
Schram, from London, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Jack-
ion, and several other performers from Oxford,
were engaged for the occasion, and the whole en-
tertainment did honour to the taste of the Noble
'Donor. On New Year's Day his Grace the Duke
of MARLBOROUGH distributed the usual quantity
of Ineed'and beef to upwards of 4000 poor per-
sons in the vicinity of Blenheim.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, when in Russia,
paid great attention to the mineral productions
of than empire, and became the purchaser of select
specimens.. that the oldest collecter might covet,
amongst which are groupes of topazes, and :one
detached, near tour incites in diameter ; aqua ma-
tines of great variety, &c. On the road, his
Grace freqoently got out of his carriage to pick
up interesting rock specimens, and to observe the
geology of the country. This is a good and me,
ritorious trait in the character of a young Noble-
ft :an who possesses such immense treasures in
Dtrhysiiire, Yorkshire, ireland,.&c. The grand
presents of malachite- ornagieuts are superior
to any thing that have before been seen in this
country.

The extraordinary admiration of the Public
for ihe Poetry of Lord fivaos; cannot be more
strongly exemplified than by staring that four
thousand copi,,s of his unpublished toortio and
List (into of Childe Harold Gave been already
bespoken !

Mr. Witkts, the celebrated Scotch Artist, has
hue!), made a ildintiug of his no less celebrated
crtilw WALTER SCOTT, his trite, and fa-
rhdy,noluding C.tpioin FaitoOsoN, nn Old Pea-.
Greyliolont—The picture has nothing
at the li:,e poeticAl tout which Mr. RAE BURN has
giten so ail.-4-nirably in his picture of Mr. SCOTT;
but it ig few pictures have been seen, which
Place the individual in nis every day feelings, so
completely before the spectator—as this painting
of Wt.L.Ktg's.
