sr ,s once on a tour in the North, happening to stop at
an inn, where the accommodations were wry bad, he
corrpl.iined of the filthy style in which dinner was
awl v up : the waiter, a Stay fellow, muttered, that

"True, sirral,," cilia his Lordship, "but not ali at one

Burlington-House is not disposed ef. nor has any
offer betu made : it is said the Duke of Devoe-
enter, has abandoned the idea of disposing of it ;
the gardens have been festered to their original state ;
the walks and the court-yard ate covered with new
gravel.
Lismore Castle, in Ireland, is rising from its ruins
to its ancient state of gothic magnificence. Among
other changes the wings have been rebuilt, and the
central building no longer is marked by the ravages
of time. The noble gothic dining-room has been em-
bellished with much taste ; it is nearly 200 feet in
length, and it is in the contemplation of the Duke to
give a splendid entertainment therein. We believe
that his Grace is the only possessor of this chateau
who has condescen,led to visit it tor nearly a century;
nearly £50,000 have already been expected. Great
improvements are likewise going on ar Chatsworth,
in Derbyshire; Hardwicke, Bolton Abbey, Lans-
borough, and Penrith ; the whole of the Litter belongs
to this Peer. At all iese places open house has been
kept. His Grace arrived in town yesterday, from
the seat of his relative, the Eatl of CARLISLE, for the
purpose of attending Palliament.
The young Lady, an infant ward of the Chancery
. Court of Durham, who was lately run away a ith,
has, by the exertions of her friends, been restored to
their affections and society, and proceedings are in
process to bring to justice this most unwarrantable
trespass upon the happiness of an arfitable and vir-
tuous young Lady:

Mr CLARK, of Broughton, in Cumberland, met
his death in a most dreadful manner, on Tuesday
sehutight. He had been in the neighbourhood of
Cockermouth, on business, when he came up with a
party of gentlemen, in chace of a star, which had
been started at Dalemaitt, near Peoria], from whence
the animal made off with extraordinary speed, dis-
daining the height or power of every object which
came within his reach. After passing through the
st:eets Of Cariihle and Cocicermouth, considerably in
advance of his pursuers, whose horses were by this
time very much fagged, Mr. Clark unfortunately
being mounted on a fresh horse, soon came up with
the animal near Eaglesford, where he had taken re-
' Juge in a cern-yard, apparently so worn out, that the
ill.fated man thought he coulst make but little resist-
ance, and was actually about: to seize him, when the
animal made a fatal Spring at his adversary, and
pierced him with his horns, near the groin. Upon
the gentlemen comin np, they did every thing to
rescue him, but not before Mr. Clarke was a lifeless
cot7sts. After having secured the stag, it was with
considerable difficulty they even got kis satins dis-
engaged fruna the usau's body.
