We home received a series of Aforsiteart wed elm

September, eonteiuing Intelligente from Modrisi to

All hope of a coalition with the GEM =a
GRENTILLES having totally vanished, the Cabinet
Fanciers have published in the Newspapers several
plans fur repairing and :unending the old Caliinet„
but they are various and contradictory. Some ate
crying out for Margolis WELLESLEY and Lord
MELVILLE—others contend fur R. D. SAI.IllbEitS,
Lord NlLtett.t,t's Son, nii,l Lord W. BENTINLi.
The fact is, the stickers to office know not which
way to turn themselves, and every decently-dressed
roan who enters I)uw • g-street, taus a risque of
being tel down as one of the sticks intended for the
repair of the old Cabinet. With these, or even
worse materials, we fear that the PERCREALS awl

Parliament ; and to such men a Joy, aye, an hour
of place, is a world and an age of grentrrem.

plans hitherto pobliihell ore visinn:ory, and that no.
thing was finally sertied at a late hour last night.
