The Memorial of the inhabitants of these towns
to the Secretory of State for the Home Department,
for the removal of the co•niels from Portsmouth
Duck yard, that the labourers might' be reissued
for the duties which they perform, in their place,
was presented by Mr. Mtocutir, when the Right
Hon. Secretary remarked, that the subject was im-
portant and deserved consideration, which it should
have in all its bearings, which was more than of a
local nature, as the great espenee of removing the
convicts to parts beyond the seas, and for buildings
and neeevsary establi.hments whilst there, was ■
serious matter. He further remarked, that most of
the men confined its she hulks are only for seven
years ; that he had thought of sending some to Ber-
muda and other parts, but neither that, nor the
rending them away to Botany Bay, could imme-
diately be determined upon.—(Portsmouth Tele.

We understand that Lord FRANCIS Comtsi GRAM
has obtaiord indefinite leave of absence from his
MAIL/ITT, and will shortly quit England to make
• tour of the Coutioent. It is said that his Lord-
ship intends visiting all the Courts of Europe be-
fore his return, and to pursue with diligence and
zeal those diplomatic studies on which he first en-
tered while attached to Sir CH•RLIts STUART'S
embassy at Paris. As this movement has not been
determined on from any official motive, but has
purely pleasure and instruction for object, it
would, in our opinion, be hazardous to prononoce
it connected with the Marquis of CONTNONAM'S
recent end precipitate mission from Edinburgh to
Ireland, whatever may be alleged to that effect.
The Marchioness of CONINGOAM is said to regret
exceedingly • measure which deprives her son of
the advantages of a coovtant residence at our Court.
