RUMOURED ELEVATION or THE EARL OF D•L. I
ROW= TO • MARQUIRATIL —We learn, from a soars oa 1
which we can place reliance, that the Earl of Dalhousie is
shoat to be created a marquis, by the style and title of
Marquis of Fenimore, in acknowledgment of hie services
while Secretary of State for War. We are sure that such
an acknowledgment will be hailed with great satisfaction by
his lordship's friends, as well as by the country at large.—

THE SPECIAL STATIC/18 AT ST. PAUL'S.—Yester-
day evening the fourth of the special services of the present

of people were present, and many hundreds in vain sought
admismon. The prayers were intoned by the sae, W.

street, sad the lessons mad by the Rev. Henry Melvill
8.D., the canon in resideem The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Daniel Moore, M.A., incumbent of Camden
Church, Camberwell.
LISBURN ELECTION.—There is no appearance of
any further opponent to Mr. Barbour, whose return for Lis-
burn is generally regarded as • settled matter. Mr. Bate-
eon's retirement, and the manner of it, have been so moth
in Mr. Barbour's favour that it ie not believed that any
fresh candidate would have any chance of success. If the
new writ be moved for on the flth pet., the election might
take place before this day mouth. It is hardly possible to
over estimate the good feeling that has been created Is Lis-
burn by the manner in which Lord Hertford's log at bee
acted on this occasion. The prompt and distinct declara-
tion of absolute noninterference on the part of landlord,
agent, or subordinate oa the estate has conduced in so
small degree to the amicable disposition at which matters
have apparently arrived in the borough.—Nortkern WAig.
THE Loer PLANer. —Mr. Berestord Hope has
always beam strongly Confederate ; but his address as Maid-
stone on Tuesday helps to explain how the English
becomes degraded in democracies, and still more d ad
slave democracies, by that central insolence of thought, that
fanaticism of unchecked domination, which homogeneous
MAWS of vulgar vanity always produce. Mr. Hepe, it is
true, is not exempt from English criticism ; bat he has eos-
treated apparently • shrieking utogoiloquese• pertly trout
his Coefederade friends or Yankee foes, or more, perhaps,
from the mere arrogance which • long coarse of eontenipt
for • lower race has engendered. He spoke of Mr. Linoole
as having committed a sin which heaven might Fordo., but
earth would never forgive, in accepting the presidency' and
then compared him to Belshazzar, &Mammies., sad the
succemors of Charlemagne. Intemperate 'tall talk " and
a deep underlying sympathy with the insolence of • relies
i caste were the ..Mtractics of the speech—which was
i much interrupted by Madden° folk, who were shocked at
the insobriety of his language.—Spectator.
