The Marquis Of Hertford-the Lord
Steyne of vanity Fair'-was noted for
the fetes with which he entertained the
great world, and the magnificent shoot
ing he gave his friends on his estate at
Sudborne, Suffolk. Yet he would do
q great deal to save sixpence. Wilson
Croker relates that one day, when he
was at Lord Yarmouth's being out of
parliament, he came all the way from
Seymour place to the admiralty to
frank letter to his servant in the
country, which contained orders for the
reception of party of friends, at a
cost of at least f560. He saved six
pencey and if he had been tired would
have got into hackney coach and paid
a half-crown fare to get this said frank.
This is characteristic story told of
him. When the thistlewood conspira-
tors had been hanged, somebody who
had witnessed the execution went to
Lord Hartford to give an account of the
proceedings. Among other things he
mentioned that one of the prisoners
had prayed fervently ON the scaffold.
HE did quite right to hedge; you
should never throw away chance. re-
piled my lord, cynically.-PIblic

A circular has been issued by the

apprehensions of stockholders, who have re-
Gently been assessed l25 francs a share,
which announces that the final period
of work ON the canal will commence

clearly understood A copy Of the circular has
been received at Washington, and was read
with good deal of curiosity at the State and
