"1" TREDEGAR FESTIVITIES. The Races, on Twelfth Day, took place in the Park as usual, for which the weather was extremely favour- able. The Hunter's Cup, 12 stone each, given by Sir C.

Dancing commencpd at nine o'clock, and was kept up with great spirit till three. The worthy Baronet appeared in excellent health and spirits. Long may he live to enjoy this annual assembling of his Family and Friends—a thorough specimen of the Old English Gentleman. ASSEMBLY-USK. A very numerous and fashionable assembly took place at the Three Salmons Usk on Friday tile Ath inst. The Stewards were F. Me Donnell and William Hunter Little, Esqrs. and our correspondent says that it would be as difficult to adequately describe their attention as it would be to pourtray the beauty and grace that adorned the ball room." Amongst the elite we noticed W. A. Williams. Esq. M. P. and Lady; Benjamin llall, Esq. M. I', Joseph Bailey, Esq. of Glan Usk; Edward Jones, Esq. Lannrtii Major Rivers and the Miss Rivers'; Mrs Bateman and Miss Bateman, of Pertholey house; Thomas Reece, Esq. and Lady; Mr Griffiths, Lan- eravon; R. J. Blewitt, Esq. Lantarnam; and the resident gentry of Usk and its neighbourhood We also had the pleasure of seeing a numerous party of strangers, making up with the above named fashionables a party of 80 participators in the quad- rilles, Waltzes, &c. The Clifton baud was in attendance, and ministered to the light fantastic toe till nearly 6 o'clock on the following morning. About half past twelve supper was announced, which reflected the highest credit on the Miss Prichards'. After supper Mr Little proposed tho health of the ladies, without whom he felt convinced the pleasing reminiscences of the past night, and the prospective ones of the coming morning, would not be called into existence.—Drank enthusiastically. Mr M'Donnell then proposed the health of our County Member Mr Williams, and our Borough Member Mr Halt-The latter gentleman returned thanks in a neat speech. Mr Bailey's health was then proposed by the stewards, and drank with universal good feeling- by the reds and billes.-Tiie same gentleman in an appropriate speech returned thanks. Upon returning to the ball-room the sparkling scene had lost none of its previous attractions. Dancing continued till a late hour. Our correspondent gallantly closes his account with a poetical quotation from Byron, in praise of the beauty of the fair sex, for which we regret we cannot find room. The sum of nearly X.50. has been subscribed in the town of Newport, in aid of the Irish Clergy, a portion has been forwarded to the Editor of the Record, to the Rev. W. Itruce Knight, and to the Committee in London. NEWPORT.— MUNICIPAL CORPORATIoN.
