The Doweeer Lady Lyttle,ou, who now acts Al

OF the late and sister of the present Earl Spencer
The latter il better known to you a. the Lord Al

Grey ministry. She is of sedatc years, hayins been
| born more than half century ago. Her duties are
onerous enough, a. she is expected tohave her Roy
al charges constantly in view. She is a very &C.
complished woman, but rather too cold and formal

Queen Adelaide's health is pretty noary re es-

At the end Of the present week, she goes on a
tour Of visits. Next Monday august s. she is TO

Bolton House. on o visit to the Earl and Countess Of
Brovnlow, and to Earl Howe, at Gopsall Hail.
The mention OF Lord Brownlow, reminds me OF
curious circumstance respecting Lord Afford, his
eldest son. The late Earl Of Brdgewatcr (who leil
fi00o for prizes to the Bridsewaier Essays) be-
queathed very large fortune 10 this same Nscount
Afford, who is now NJ. p. for Bed(ordshire, on con-
dion that he should obtain higher grade IN the
peerase than his father, Earl Brownlow. That is,
that he should obtain MaIquisate or a Dukedom.
The Earl OF Bridsews,er, twho left Lord Francis
Eserton an estate OF 100000 a year, was Lord
Affords grand uncle and died about ten years ago,
while the Wings were IN office. From them, as
Lori Afford and his father Tories, the desired
step IN the Peerage was not 10 be expected. Peel
is about making batch OF Peers, and many in.
clude the heir Of the Brownow title. No limitation
as TO time was made in the Earl of Btidgewaiers
will; but should Lord Afford die without getting
Marquisate or Dukedorl. the Bridgewa;er estates
go to the Egerions. OF Taton, in Cheshire. Is not
this curious storyl assure you it is true in
the most minute particular. The estates contingent
on the step in the Peerage amount to more than
twice "ten thousand year"

Abou; a fornish, ago, mysterious paragraph
appeared in the Observer saying, that a case of
been missing and had been found in the possession
Of another lady Of high rank. Thi. ON 6h excited
great curiosity, and the newspapers have been Civ
ing inuendos as 10 the titled delinquent. Last Sun
day the Observer said, 1--WE regret 10 be eompcllei

name Of the lady implicated in this scandal is in
every persons mouth, we think il right 10 enireat

Immediately ulder this IS second paragraph
stating tina" Lord and Lady Wnchilsea are on the
poin, of leaving England for the continent. Ii is
said that his lordship applied ~ the Foreign Office
for his passport on Wednesday. The noble pair
are, We believe, now enjoying the seclusion OF his
lordshp's delightful seat in Kent"
AS the party is actually named here, there can be
no delicacy about the matter. The noble thief is
gFand-niece OF the Duke OF Wellington.
The jewels were missed by the owner, Lady
Wnchilsea was in a situation TO have them,
and was suspected, from former circumstances. Her
husband, (,he bluff. plain man, who fought duel
in 1929, with the Duke of Wellington) plsiniy
isked Lady Augusta Gordon it she suspected his |
wife. The reply was, 81 do" "Then,n said he, / |

her jewel case was found the missing jewels |

tess, "6ut they are my property" The eweller |
f.om whom Lady Augusta had purchased them was
sent for, and at once identified them by certain |
marks which, when he sold them, ne had noted !
in his day.book. There was no use in farther de- !
Dial, so the Countess Winehsea then admitted that
she had taken TIE jewels off Of Lady A. Gordon's
able, and meantto have sold them. The Lady and !
her Lord have Quilted England.
