LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11.

As the Washington mail was closing, on the 27th
ult., Mr. Clutrrox wrote to Lad CIAIIXDOX that
up to the last moment, he had received no intimation
of his dismissal. It is confidently stated, by persons
who ought to be well informed, that Mr. it/Mill
reply to Lord CIARINDON will be, in effect, that the
Cabinet at Washington regards the explanations and
statements in his lordship's last despatch u sufficient
to induce them to withdraw their demand for Mr.
Quitrrox's recall. The Amnion Secretary, how-
ever, will add, that his Government are of opinion
that, after what has passed, Mr. Otaxrrox's power
deadeyes' at Washington has bees exhausted.
From the sae source we learn that it is understood
Mr. Ciairrat will himself bring this despatch
home, and tender his resignation. Thies statements
appear tons to have an air of probability about them ;
nevertheless we repeat them, as the phrase is, " with
I
reserve."

Tin House of Lords had the unexpected pleasure
last night of a brisk and, for its length, tolerably di-
versified controversy on ecolseintical unity between
their lay and episcopal brethren, and, what was much
more miming, between the apostolic authorities
themselves. In answer to an almost apologetic
appeal from Lord PORTMAN regarding some flippant
remarks on a previous statement of his, concerning
the consecration of a plan of worship at Woolwich,
the meek and lowly SAMUEL of Oxford proceeded to
explain how he had come to Indulge Dannelly and
involuntarily in the observations complained oft how
