That thisjauspicious event has-diffused a feeling of exquisite satisfaction through this noble family, and its illustrious family connections, is a i'act which will not be disjmtud nor will it be 'questioned, but the same gratifying sensation, through perha»& so,mewl>,»f^ less ardent in its intensity, will spiead itself throughout that vast concourse of people whom the name of Grosvenor is known, as fi-i.ehd, benefactor, "master, and landlord. W.e inost cordially join with this numerous throng in their "d 11 'ct64c6 devont aspirations, that the good ,Providence which has given, mayhiog preserve the life of ttte interesting infant! Early on Friday, morning. the.joyful intelligence had reached the neighbour- ing¡vrllage.'t.andit is hardly necessary to say. that-the district around was presently in motion.

There were a few, who in debating upon the best mode of Shewing their respect on the occasion, pleaded for former good; old customs, as the phrase »s, but their proposals was borne down bv the nata- ral good sense and increasing intelligence, (hNr Una (fitted neighbours. We do not thiok we should be guilty of false reasoning, if we ai.^ula ascribe this predominance of good taste among ri lice o f tile rill-Al population, to the influence of religious education, with which, through the of the Earl and Countess of Grosvenor, this -ex tensive district has for many years been so amp > furnished at all events, the reasonable inetnod which they, selected to testify their joy. dues equal credit to their hearts and their he-ads.

Ox Wednesday last; one of those exhibitions which have sso frequently disgraced Moulsey Heath, and the neighbourhood of the metropolis, called a milling match, was got up in the ni igh- bourhood of this city, between thp above-named parties; It seem's that these combatants had fought rt battle about a year ago, in whk'i Bos- cow was the victor, but Magee not being con- vinced that he was the beHer, man, solicited another trial of skill, and a purse of dne hundred soveripigns being, raised by their respective friends, tlU1 match was liikde up.

Very well, ^aid Cure, we shall see the procession return by the usual route. Very soon after, a complaint was lodged by the Mayor before King's Procuhmr, against 31.
