Atll3ngst the current on dits of the day, it is said that
the Parliament is to be prorogued till the month of Octo-
ber next, when a diasolution is expected to take place.
Mr. W. Wynn, rumour states, is to be appointed Speaker
of the House of Commons; and the present Speaker, who
has for some years filled that Situation with a suavity of
manner and a dignity of conduct entitling him to the praise
of men of all parties, is to be elevated to the Peerage.
We give this u we have heard it, without at all vouching
for its authenticity.

Parliament will be prorogued to-day by the King in
person. The Ist regiment of Life Guards is ordered to
escort his Majesty to and from the Ilouse of leers.
Last evening, at seven o'clock, the King left his Palace
in Pall-mall, in his carriage, with four footmen in their
state liveries, escorted by a party of the Life Guards, and
proceeded through St. James s Park to the Duke of Wel-
lington's, to dinner. The Duke of York also dined with

of the Act passed this week, enabling his Grace to exercise
the duties of that high hereditary office in person.
The Star of last evening says:—" It is reported in the
City, hut on what authority we cannot learn, that Presi-
dent Boyer has sent five millions of dollars to the Colom-

for a gift, it is out of the question."
TRINIDAD, MAY 7.—The new Order in Council is

In the Liebon Gazette of the 4th inst. there is a long

•Letters have been received from Greece of a recent date.
One from Salona, dieted May 10, states that the Greek
Congress had assembled at that place, and was proceeding
in its discussions favourably. The entire invading army
of the Turks was estimated at 60,0G4 men, but not the
slightest fear was entertained of the result. It was under-
stood that propositions would be made by the Turks to the
Greeks, but the nature of them was very doubtful.

His Grace the Duke of Bedford has at length let, on
building leases, the whole of the valuable land surround-
ing Tavlstock-square, so that the north and west sides of
this picturesque spot will now be finished unifonnly with
the others. The mansion recently occupied by Janus I
Perry, Esq. and its beautiful pleasure-grounds and garden, I
is going to be converted into three handsome houses ; and, I
at the end of the garden, a mews upon a novel and ex-
tensive plan will be erected, for the convenience of the in-1
habitants of Tavlstouk and Russell-squares, to whose
residence coach-pauses anti stables are not already ap-

improved, and the Duke of Bedford's property much I
' increased in value, when these buildings shall be coin- ,
pleted.
