Last night her Majesty had a concert of vocal and instrumental music
at the Palace at Windsor.
The 7th of this month is fixed for the celebration of the marriage of
the Archduke of Austria and the Princess Elizabeth of Wirtemberg.--The
ceremony will be performed at Vienna.
The great heiress, Miss Pulteney, the daughter of William Pulteney,
Esq., came of age last Thursday.--The entertainments on the occasion
were very splendid, and the celebration kept at Shrewsbury.
The indisposition of Lord Salisbury is a public evil; and to do his
Herefordshire neighbours justice they think so, independent of their
Christmas disappointment. Other and honourable feelings operate more
upon the occasion.
Great expectations are formed of Mr. _Fitzherbert’s_ talents in the
important post to which he has lately been appointed; and we are ready
to believe that he will amply fulfil them. But of this we are rather
certain, that however he may surmount the attacks of the _Hibernian_
politicians, if the jolly fellows once get him amongst them, they will
soon make him feel a _want of understanding_.
The MINISTER, among his late acquisitions, his obtained a gift of an
_under_ WAISTCOTE, which, however, he has ordered to be _hung up_ in
his wardrobe, not wishing to wear near his _heart_ a vestment that has
come from the enemy, and which, like the _shirt_ presented by
_Dejianira_ to _Hercules_, is probably _poisoned_, and would rather
raise a _blister_ than prove of salutary effect.
The _information_ offered by the DESERTER from the _political_
BANDITTI meets with no credit in _Court_; it having been repeatedly
determined at the Sessions house in _the Old Bailey_ that an
_approver_, vulgarly called a _King’s Evidence_, shall have no
_credit_ with _good men_ and _true_, unless his testimony be supported
by witnesses of _honest fame_.
A few days since died Dr. Isaac Mann, Bishop of Cork and Ross, in
Ireland, and Archdeacon of Dublin. The Marquis of Buckingham by the
above event is singularly fortunate, by having it in his power during
the first week of his administration to bestow a mitre on one of his
chaplains.
The declining state of the King of _Spain_ naturally turns the
attention of political observers to that quarter--as a system of
measures very hostile to the views of _France_, and subversive of that
tyranny which it has so long exercised at the Court of _Madrid_, may
possibly be adopted. It is said, and the idea has long met with a
current belief, that the Prince of Austria is well acquainted with the
true interests of his country, and will when the power is his
effectually promote them.
