There is something in friendly old associations which renders de-
lightful every thing connected with them. Sir William Ingilby is in the full enjoyment of good health: he oft speaks of Lincolnshire with tine sincerest regard. Orders have been given for an outlay of 1,000/. this year for the repairs and embellishments of Ripley Castle ; we hope it portends his return to England.—Lineola Gazette. [How very senti- mental 1 not only in Lincolnshire, but at Graham's Club, there would be rejoicing at Sir William Ingilby's return.] An offensive correspondence relating to the elopement or departure of Mrs. Bishop the singer, and wife of the composer, with Boclisa to the Continent, has been obtruded on the public. Into the particulars we shall not enter. Mrs. Bishop had been performing a series of musi- cal engagements with Bochsa in the country ; and after their return to Loudon, though strongly urged by her fattier and husband to avoid that person's society, she persisted in paying him clandestine visits, and
at last left her home and England in his company. She pretends that her sole object is to maintain her family, her husband's earnings and income being insufficient for that purpose: but Mr. Bishop denies that there is any such necessity or excuse for her connexion with Bochsa.
