We learn that the vintage is now finished in all the
best vineyards of the Cote d'Or, and that it is said that
the wines are better than those of last year.—Galig-
nani's Messenger.
Prince Lim- us entertained a distinguished party at
dinner yesterday at Ashburnham House, Dover-street.
Lady BURDETT and family are at present sojourning,
at Worthing.
The challenge which produced the late duel in Water-
ford was from Lord BERESFORD. Mr. BARRON had
sent him a manuscript copy of his letter before it was
sent to the newspapers, and a message was soon after de-
livered. This accounts for the circumstance of the letter
of Mr. BARRON and the account of the duel appearing
in the same paper.—Morning Register.
The French Army, according to the last return,
amounted to 250,000 men. On the 13th of June, 1815,
Carnot, then Minister of the Interior, laid before the
House of Peers returns, by which it appeared that in two
months the number of troops of the line had risen from
175,000 to 375,000, and the whole effective force five
days previous to the battle of Waterloo was not less than
850,000.

An experiment is about to be made to try to accustom
the cocoa-nut tree to the climate of the province of Ma-
laga. M. D'ART" one of the most celebrated profes-
sors of agriculture, has received orders front the Govern-
ment to proceed for that purpose to Malaga.
COUNTY LOUTII ELECTION.—" We are informed
that Sir HENRY GOODRICK is pledged to the Duke of
RlciillONn, to support Lord WILLI M PAGET." We
received this paragraph by post, but by no means pledge
ourselves for its authenticity.—Droyhc,ki Journal.
The body guards, who aro to escort the future QUEEN
of Spain and her august parents from the French fron-
tiers, as far as Barcelona, left that town on the 31st of
October, to proceed to La Jonchiere, the first town in
Spain on the road from Perpignan to Figueira.
Friday last, there was a grand coursing match at Bushy
Park, which was attended by a number of fashionables
from the West-end of the Town. PRINCE GEORGE OF
CUMBERLAND was early in the field, mounted on a pony,
which he rode with ease and grace, and seemed quite
pleased and delighted with the coursing, but above all,
with a young sweep, who, on foot, kept up with the cour-
sers, and wherever the Prince was seen, the climb-
ing-boy—inspired by " vaulting ambition"—was be-
held near him, evidently interested in every move-
ment and look of his Royal Highness. The Prince,
with great condescension, noticed the sweep, and it
was soon discovered that his attention was not ill
bestowed. In the boy's countenance there was some-
thing peculiarly interesting and intelligent, and his
manner and demeanour shewed, that instead of belonging
to the lowest grade of mortals, Nature intended the poor
lad to move in a respectable rank in society, which is
likely to be the result of the singular occurrence of the
day, as the Prince was so well pleased with the ingenu-
ousness of the boy and his conversation, that he invited
him to call on him the next day at Kew, where he was
most graciously received by his Royal Highness, and will
no doubt be released from his low state, and become a
respectable member of the community ! The scene was
throughout extremely touching, and reflects great credit
on the mind and the heart of the Prince, wbo appears.
already convinced that condescension and kindness are
not incompatible with the dignity and elevation of
Royalty. We had almost forgotten to mention, that the
boy is much about the same age and size of the Prince,
from whom he reluctantly separated.
We believe Sir A. B. KING has been invited to
resign the Patentee Stationership. He is offered
compensation in money paid in hand, or a pension
for life. It is said he has intimated his wish to
receive an equivalent of the former description.—Dublin
Morning Register.
We have often heard of the exhaustion of the Irish
Treasury, and the difficulty, at the end of the quarter,
of maintaining punctuality even with the grave and re-
verend Seigniors the Judges—a class of Exchequer duns,
proverbially the most patient and imperturable. At present,
we understand, the coffers are full to repletion, there
being nearly twelve hundred thousand pounds for which
there is no immediate demand. We have not heard how
this abundance, at this particular period, is to be ac-
counted for.—lbid.
REPRESENTATION OF MEATII.—The interest of the
late and present Member, as well as that of Mr. NaPPER,
goes decidedly with Lord KILLEEN.—Ibid.
THE FIFTH NOVEMBER...=,The following is from
the Louth Free Press: "We. are extremely happy to
hear that there was no party affray at Gleuoe, on the
Fifth. That excellent officer, General Thornton, sent a
detachment of the military to that place, for the purpose
of preventing outrage." The Orange exhibition in Ar-
magh, was miserable ! ! !
