The baptism of the son and heir of Sir WATILIN and Lady HARRIET WYNN was observed on Thursday last, at Osw•estry, with great rejoicing. Two oxen were distributed to the poor, amidst the acclamations of the multitude and the ringing of bells ; and similar rejoicings took place in all the towns round Wynnstay. Lord GEORGE Caver:inn and his amiable family . are still rendering his delightful seat of Compton • Place, near Eastbourne, a scene of true old English hospitality, and dispensing their bounties to the surrounding poor. The Band of the 3d Regiment of Guards, who have played during the summer on the Terrace at Windsor, had a Concert there, on Thursday lait, in the Town Hall, at which the Nobility and Gentry of that town and Eaton were present. The ;meal parts were sustained by the Gentlemen of the Choir. Monday, his Excellency tie Duke DECAZIM, accompanied by the Loan MAYOR and two foreigners of distinction, took their seats on the Bench at the Old Bailey.

Only two freeholders of Warwickshire are now living who polled at the last contested Election for that County, and that which has just commenced is likely to prove equally severe. Some rioting has already occurred, and several persons have been hurt. The Mayo Constitution says,—" On Sunday se'nnight, Lieut. Limo, on half-pay of the 58th Regiment, was attacked at Ballina, by six or seven persons, at first with stones, with which they knocked him down several times, and after wards with a shovel, by a stroke from which his forehead was laid open. He died ,en Friday morning, and an Inquest was held on his body, who found a verdict of—Wilful Murder against B. Keaveney; and that Mary Sweeny, Bridget Keaveney, Catherine Sweeny, Mary Lynot, and P. Sweeny, were accessaries. If there was any cause for this outrage, it has not been communicated to us." Tim MEMOIRS OF JOHN EVELYN continue to attract universal attention. It has been justly observed, that no change of fashion, no alteration of taste, no revolution of science, have 'impaired or can impair his celebrity. Satire, from which nothing is sacred, scarcely attempted to touch• him while living, and the acrimony of political and religious hatred, though it spares n9t even the dead, has never assailed his memory. How then has he attained this enviable inheritance of Fame ? not by surpassing genius, not by pre-eminent powers of mind, not by any great action, not by any splendid accident of fortune, bat by his virtue and his wisdom, by the proper use of his talents, and of the means which GOD had entrusted into his hands, by his principles and his practice.
