Earl and Countess COWPER will entertain a distin-
guished party of visitors during the holydays, at their
seat, Pansanger, Herts.
We are assured that, notwithstanding the apparent

prosperity of his last season, LAPORTE lost no leis than
three thousand pounds. Such a fact can only be ex-
plained by the immense salaries paid to the leading
artistes.—Brighton Casette.
Mr. C. PEERS, of Scopwick, in hunting a few days
ago with the Duke of RUTLAND'S hounds, near Quer-
rington, took a kap at a drain, which he cleared in the
handsomest style, and which, from margin to margin,
measured eleven yards.
The " Christmas fare," in spite of all the agricultural
and every other species of distress, during Wednesday
and yesterday came into town as plentifully as ever we
saw it do in the most plentiful and prosperous seasons.
Thus, for instance, almost all the coaches on the Western
road, from Bath, Hereford, Exeter, &c. and on the Ner-
folk and Yaimouth roads, were laden, inside awl vet,
with baskets and parcels, containing turkeys and other
Christmas fare. The Hereford coach, the Yarmouth
coach, Norwich coaches, &c. bad not one passenger ; and
they did not arrive, ening to being so he•tvily laden, till
two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon, though eight
o'clock in the morning is the regular time.
CATHOLIC SHERI /14.—We can confidently state,
that the Hon. THOMAS BARN W ALL, a Catholic, will be
the High Sheriff of the County Dublin fur the ensuing
year. It is remarkable that the direct ancestor of this
Gentleman was Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the reign
of Edward the Second, and that he dated most of his
decrees from " Roebuck eastle."—Morning Registm.. .
'he gre4 Capiolist,who scarcely limits himself to any
()teat or country, whether a few pence or a million or
two are to be turned, is said to have been lately engaged
in forwarding to the Bank large supplies of gold, content-
ing himself with the moderate profit of 4d. per ounce for
the transaction.

It is Mated in the City that the visit paid by the Go-
vernor and some of the Directors of the Bank of England
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Wednesday, bad
reference to the projected reduction of the Four per Cents.
It is also asserted that the reduction is to be attempted
immediately after the payment of the April dividends.
The Brighton Gazette, after giving the names of the
Grand Jurymen at Maidstone who sent a copy of their
Resolutions to the Duke of Wellington, says, " This
list embraces all parties, but is composed chiefly of old
Government men. Mr. Dare!l is a Catholic, and so we
believe is Mr. Bridget. *Mr. Hodges was always •
staunch Whig, as well as Mr. Plumptre, the latter of
whom, however, was strongly opposed to Emancipation.
Mr. Darell is another stout Whig—we might almost term
him a radical. Lord Marsham is a very sound man,
although his father, Lprd Romney, was much frightened
at the. County Meeting last year."
SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 22.—Activity prevails in
this market, and the sales up to this period exceed the
entire of the year 1828, 1200 Ws. and 200 tierces. The
sales yesterday and to-day have been 186 Demerara., 46
Trinidads, and 15 Grenadoui—it 47 per cwt. for low
middling.—Glasgow Paper.
