On Monday the Archduke MAxtutuAN, accom-
panied by Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE, inspected New.
gate, and was shewn the different apartments by 31r.
BROWN, the Keeper. His Grace expressed great sa.
tisfaction at the cleanliness of the various places they
went into.

The following curious circumstance occurred to the
Duke of Wetitsbron, during a late visit at HatEeld
House :—A farmer, who had been much annoyed by
the hunters riding across his corn, directed his she:-
herd to stake up and make fast all the gates that ad-
join the roads. It so happened, that the Duke rode
up to one of these gates, and which the shepherd was
lolling over, and who was requested by the Duke to
open the gate for him. The shepherd refused com-
plying with the request, and desired him to go round,
for he should not ride over his master's corn. Ile
Duke, therefore, rode off. When the man wert home,
his master inquired of him if he had ;tipped the
hunters? " Aye, master," the shepherd answered,
" thatl have; and not only them, but also that soldier
fellow that Bounemtvz could not stop." The farmer
took an early opportunity of apologizing to Lady
SALISBURY for the rudeness of his servant, and stated,
that had he been aware that the Noble Duke would
have been out that day, his gates shotild'not have
been fastened, and at the same time mentioned wILI:
his man had said, which, on being related tothe Duke,
caused, as may be expected, a hearty laugh.
