The DUKE and DUCHESS of BUCCLEUGH.

Wednesday last their Graces the Duke and Duchess of
Buccleugh arrived at Dalkeith House. Great preparations
had previously been made for the joyous reception of the
illustrious young couple, not merely by their own house.
hold and dependents, but -by the different Incorporations
and inhabitants of the town of Dalkeith, which was to have
been illuminated on the occasion. From the recent depri-
♦ation, however, which the Noble Family have sustainel
in the death of Lady Isabella Cost, his Grace's sister, any
ebullitions of joy at the present time would have been highly
indecorous. It was therefore resolved to refrain from these
mirthful demonstrations, particularly as it was understoo 1
his Grace had signified that any thing of the kind would,
under present circumstances, be disagreeable to him. It
being known that the Duke and Ducbess were to leave the
Earl of Home's seat of Hirsel, in Berwickshire, on Wed-
nesday morning, a number of the inhabitants of Dalkeith
were on the alert, waiting their arrival, in order to give
the young Duchess, who was now to come among them for
the first time, such a welcome as would show their regard
for the living, without evincing any want of respect for the
dead. Accordingly, about three o'clock, the approach of
the carriages was announced by hearty cheering, and the
acclamations resounded until they reached the ancient family
mansion—the recent residence of Royalty.— Glasy. Cour.

His MAJESTY will hold a Court, at his

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.--In consequence of
the late Address of Lord GEORGE BERESFORD to the
Electors of the county of Waterford, a communication was
sent to the Noble Lord by Mr. WINSTON BARRON, the
result of which was a hostile meeting between the parties,
which took place this morning (Saturday, the 7th of No-
vember), about nine o'clock, in the demesne of Bishop's
Hall, in the county Kilkenny—Lord GEORGE BERESFORD
attended by Josxrst GREENE, Esq., Mr. BARRON attended
by JOHN ALCOCK, Esq. The preliminary arrangements
being made, the parties took their ground. After an ex-
change of two shots each, Mr. GREENE stated that both
gentlemen having proved themselves men of courage, be
could not allow the matter to proceed farther, and would
therefore walk Lord GEORGE off the ground. The parties
then separated without any reconciliation having taken
place.— Waterford Chronicle of Saturday.

Died, yesterday morning, at his house in
Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square, EUGENIUS ROCHE, Esq.
Editor of the Courier Newspaper. Mr. ROCHE joined
the Press at an early age. He was for several years Edi-
tor of the Day. He afterwards became one of the Edi-
tors of the Post, on which he remained until 1827. He
then returned to the Paper that he had quitted fifteen
years before, and which had in the interim taken the name
of the New Times. Mr. ROCHE edited the New Times
for about twelve months, when he quitted it for the
Courier, of which Paper he had a short time before be-
come a proprietor. Of this gentleman we now speak as of
one who has been called to a state of existence where no
differences about matters of temporary concernment are
allowed to enter. And of him we may say truly that, if
a life of simple and unaffected goodness, if great suavity of
manners and great sweetness of temper, joined to a con-
stant and unremitting desire to contribute to the happiness
of all with whom he came in contact—if these, heightened
as they were in the deceased, with no inconsiderable scholar-
ship, and an understanding and fancy neither unenlightened
nor languid, may be supposed to mark the tenant for such
a sphere, the late Eunzmus RocHE was indeed possessed
of all fitness. We have sometimes spoken severely of the
Editor of the Courier, but it was of the political abstrac-
tion of which we spoke, not of the man who, during a
lapse of more than twenty years that he was connected
with the Journals of London, never gained an enemy nor
lost a friend. Mr. ROCHE was twice married ; his second
marriage took place about a year and a half ago. He has
left an amiable widow and a very large family, the greater
part of. them ynting.—Morning Journal.

THEATRICAL MISCELLANY.—When MA-
THEWS Was in Paris trying to seduce the elephant to de-
sert the Cirque Olympique, there was much haggling
about terms. " Four thousand francs per month (1601.) !"
quoth our British mimic ; " Prodigious !"—" But think
of the applause he will bring down," cried Monsieur.
" Bring down applause !" echoed MATHEws, eyeing the
enormous quadruped, " hut he'll bring down the
stage, perhaps." " Bah !" cried the Frenchman, " you
must prop it up." 44 Ah ! it will take a great deal to do
that," cried MaTHEws, (this fir fetched joke was lost
upon the Gaul.) " Four thousand a month for one
actor !" ejaculated the Adelphi Momus. " But con-
sider," whispered the cunning Frenchman, " he is the
greatest actor on the stage, and when you don't want him
yourself, you may let him out." " Let him out," echoed
MATHEWS, " Why, zounds, he's too big already; my
chief difficulty will be to take hint in ; it will require a
passage almost as wide as the straits of Dover to admit
him." The bargain was nearly concluded, when the
Frenchman insisted as a sine qua non, that MATHEWS
should pay for the polity of insurance for the great
quad's safe arrival in London. The astonished Mana-
ger retreating three steps, shook his head doubtingly.
" Assurance! my God ! bell not do then; for I never
yet knew an actor succeed in London, who wanted as•
suranee, except my friend YATES, and POWER of Co-
vent-garden."
