LORD SELKIRK'S WELCOME Hort.

Kirkcudbright, April 17, 1110 S.
On Mhnday laft the Earl of SALltlillt arrived it
St. Mary's Hie, the feat of the family near Kirkcud-
, bright.
An abfence of nearly two years in a foreign cll.
inate had rendered his Lordfhip's return, to his pa-
ternal effete, an objea of peculiar intereft in this
part of the country. Nevet was the attachment which
the inhabitants have uniformly borne to the Noble
Family, of which his Lordfhip is now the only male
reprefentative, more confpieuoufly manifefted, than
upon this occafion.
Early in the morning, the Incorporations planted
their colours around the turrets of the Reeple, as if
to falute his Lordfhip from-a diflance, and welcome
his approach ; and the veffils in the harbour were de-
eorated with their waren fireartlers in honour of the
day. But the St. Mary's Troop of Yeomanry Ca-
valry, and the two Companiet of Kirkcudbright Vo-
lunteers, participatint the public feeling in no ordi-
t ;try degree, determined to celebrate his arrival with
all the honours dice to his diftinguiffied rank and pet.
tonal virtues. Abotit half an hour after two o'clock
his Lordfhip entered the town, mounted upon an ele-
gant charger. He pallid on horfeback along the front
and rear ranks of the troop of Cavalry, and after-
waidi he paffed in the fame manner on foot along
the two Companies of Volunteers, which had been
drawn up in the Rivet to receive him. Having then
afembled the Officers, he addrefed thefts in a fhort
(perch, in which he Rated,
"Thai though his Armee had prevented any perfonal etreopetX-
don on his part in the meafures fo effential to the [allay of the
Cate, yet that he had learned with much approbation the exer-
tions which had been made by thole connedted with the Admiral
Bretton of his affairs—that be could not fuleklently applaud the
seal sad fpirit which bad animated all ranks of men in this pa-
triotic fervicc, and be had been informed that there honourable
qualities had been difplayed by none in a snore eminent degree
than by thole In this corner, %VIM whom he felt himfelf partieu
laxly connected. And much as his expedations had been railed
by the xccouuts he had reedited of their appearante, and Rate of
equipment, the impreffions derived from infpecling them far ex- I
eeeded thole his imagination had formed."
His Lon:1111ip having respelled the Officers to in
trite their refpeaive corps to dine with him, they
Marched to St. Mary's Ifle in military order, A little
before four o'clock, about 200 fat down to dinner, in
a tent meted upon the Lawn in front of the houfe ;
there were three feparate tables, running parallel to
each other. The Earl of Sstritit was at the head
of the centre table, where the Yeomanry, confillini
of his 03*fl tenantry, were (cited ; and there was g
company of infantry on each fide. The joy diffufed
by the pretence of the. Noble Stranger, the paternal
intereft he teemed to feel in the happinefs of his gueft,.
and the novelty of the fcene partaking of the naturg,
both of a Military and rural fetlival, expanded every
heart; and gave birth to a reties of the molt pleafur-
able emotions.

About (even o'clock the patty returned to the
town; in the evening every houfe was illuminated,
and fome of the windows were adorned with emble-
matical tranfparencies; even the tops of all the fur-
rounding hill;, as well a 2 the little Rofs Man.', blazed
with bonfires. The fcene viewed from the high
grounds in the neighbourhood was iingillatit grand.
One common feeling teemed to pervad ill ranks
and defcriptions of perfons ; never war de joy ex-
cited by any domefiie event in this neighbourhood
more fincere, nor the demonfirations of it more nal-
vetfal.
Next day his Lordfhip, with that attention to'the
condition of the dinreffed, which is charafterifiie of
the Family, enured a cnntiderable fum of Money to
be diftributed 'among the poor.

Prime Sherry, (vintage I got) and Bueelhts, is
large bottles, 4os. per dozen, for Pale, at No. t,
Thanet-Place, Temple. Bar ; one dozen fent, carriage
free, in town ; a tingle bottle fold to thew the Wines—
if not found pleating, the money will be immediately
retuned.

The defendant had been held to'bail for 161. and the
turn recovered by the verdict of a jury •*..s only five
guinea, it was therefore fair, to prefume that the
plaintiff knew his demand to be under fol. The
Court held that there mull be fomething ultra to the
mere finding of a Jury, to entitle the Learned Gen-
tleman to his motion, and therefore refufed to grant
a rule.

Mr. WlLena obtained a rule to thew caufe why an
