We do not believe that any of the Ministers have
lrfr town or its vicinity. since the close of the late
laborious Session of Parliament, and we learn that
they think it necessary to remain at their posts
during the whole of the vacation, unless the irrita-
tion which now prevails in the country should
'greatly subside.

We are informed that a Petition is circulating on
the Stock Exchange, which is already very numer-
ously signed by the Contractors for the last Loan,
the purport of which is to request the Bank of
England to take in the Omnium after the second
instalment is made good. After the solemn deck-
ration of the Governor and Deputy Governor of the
Bank, when they waited upon the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER with the bidders for the Loan, we
cannot believe that the Directors can, in consistency.
take the Onusium at alt in any of its stages of pity-
tnent.—(Everting Peeper.)
A circumstance has transpired at the Stock Ex-
change which has produced • considerable sensa-
tion. It has been discovered that the clerks of
jobbers and the brokers, some of them youths of
15 and 16, have been gambling to a great extent,
doing time bargains in their own name and for their
own account. As this. very properly, is against
the rules of the horse, three youths have been sum-
moned before the Committee of 38, and after ex-
amination, 14 were expelled the house. It will
scarcely be credited that it was found these hopefuls
were Bears of Stock on the last settling day to the
tone of above 900,0001.—(Evening Paper.)

THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO v. THE MORNING
CHRONICI.F..--A learned Gentleman, in a very
long letter to the Editor of The Morning Chroni-
cle, speaks of the Emperor of MOROCCO black.
This is very little short of a libel upon his Imperial
Majesty, who actually is asfair and comely a man
as the gentleman who throws this dark stain upon
his—face. The slander is indeed in the present
instance given under calmer of general repute in
this country, but the learned Gentleman should
have remembered the wise maxim laid down in the
hooks. Niniaas ne crede In thee records of
Punch's Court we indeed read of " the black
Qaeea of Morocco," and possibly his present MA.
JESYY might have a sable Empress-•-but it is a
certain fact, that the present Emperor of MOROCCO
boasts as fair a compleaion
..as the generality of
Europeans.
