REJOICINGS AT GREDINGTON, &c.

On Friday last, the Honourable Lloyd Kenyon re-
turned to Gredington with his amiable bride. The ar-
rival of the happy pair at Whitchurch was announced by
a merry peal of bells, and on their reaching the confines
of the Principality (where two splendid arches with ap-
propriate inscriptions had been erected), they were met •
by at immense cavalcade, composed of respectable per-
sons who had assembled to greet their arrival and escort •
them to Gredington. Mr. Joseph Lee, of Redbrook
Farm, shortly addressed Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon, express-
ing his assurance of the high respect entertained towards
the honourable gentleman by his neighbours, so many
of whom were present to testify their feelings of attach-
ment, 'and to congratulate him and his lady on their ar-
rival in his native county. " You have, Sir, he added,
no doubt, seen much to please and interest you in your
recent tour, but nothing, I think, calculated to' excite
more lively emotions in your mind than the scene nom' •
before you ; for I am persuaded this is not mere dis-
play of that outward respect which. is due to high birth
and station, but a testimony of heartfelt attachment and
esteem. Sensible how much the welfare of a neighbour-
hood
is dependent, under Providence, upon persons of
rank. and property, we trust we shall have the benefit of
your.influence and example by your residence amongst
us. We are fully satisfied from past experience of your •
anxious desire to promote the happiness of all around
you, and assure you it will ever be our prayer that your--
self and your amiable lady may not only be successful in
your plans for the good of others, but that you may
yourselves be crowned with every blessing."
Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon appeared to be much gratified, •
by the respect shown them; and the honourable gentle-
man, on behalf of his lady and himself, very feelingly ex-
pressed their warm sense of the kind disposition towards
them evinced by his neighbours, at the same time stating
their intention to reside amongst them, and to lose no •
opportunity of advancing their welfare and happiness.
He said, whatever they had seen on the continent to in- *
terest them, they had experienced no gratification equal
to that caused by the kindness which had given rise to •
the scene they now witnessed.
Mr. Kenyon's address was followed by three hearty '
cheers from the assembled multitude, and by the discharge •
of cannon, which re-echoed through the surrounding .
country. The cavalcade then moved onward towards
Hanmer, at which place from three to five thousand per-
sons were congregated to welcome the respected pair, '
and who, with a band of music and banners suitably in-
scribed, escorted them to Gredington. Several fat oxen
were slaughtered at Hanmer, and about a thousand poor
persons were regaled there with a good dinner and a pro-
per allowance of ale. The children of the different schools ,
supported by Lord Kenyon lined the road into his lord-
ship's
grounds. Several fat sheep also were given away
at Redbrook to the neighbouring poor, and in the even-
ing there was a display of fireworks from the grounds of •
Mr. Lee.—Salopian Journal.

ENGLISH OFFICERS IN PEDRO'S ARMY.—We have been
aware that English officers, who, having been duped by
the false statements of the Pedroite agents, went out to
assist in the buccaneering projects of the discarded Em-
peror of Brazil, are disgusted with their situation in the
army of that marauder, and have been for some time re
turning to England in considerable numbers; but we
were not informed of the particulars of gross insult to ,
which these gentlemen have been exposed until within
these few days, during which period we have had, the •
opportunity of frequent communication with three of
them who arrived in London last week. According to
the statement of these parties, it appears that Pedro made
no scruple of knocking them down, and passing other
gross indignities upon them. The Englishmen in his
service have gained every victory, the credit of which the
Portuguese obtained by being placed in the van as soon
as the battle was over. On one occasion, during the
siege of Oporto, some English officers complained to him
of the negligence of the commissariat, when the ex-ems•
peror tauntingly sent them a horse that had been dead
for several days, and told them to ask their friends to the
repast.—Morning Post. ,

The Carlo Alberto continues to occupy the public mind
at Marseilles. The captain says that he left Civita Vec-
chia on the 15th September with nineteen tubs of leeches;
arrived at Leghorn on the 16th ' • left that port on the
17th, after having taken on board two bales of silk and
five passengers; reached Genoa on the 18th, took on
board seven barrels of cochineal, and ten passengers ; left
on the following day for Nice, where he arrived on the
20th, and landed five passengers and two packages;
reached Marseilles on the 21st, having on board twelve
passengers, and divers packages.—French Paper
