A DIFFICULT TASK.— An Hon. Member
threatened the other evening that if his proposal were not
agreed to, he would take the sense of the House upon it.
This perhaps would Inve been rather a more difficult task
than he imagined. —Weekiy Summary.
Lord Brooke, on Thursday last, the day of his
coming of age, received a present of a Bible and Prayer-
book, magnificently bound in purple velvet, with chased
gold corners and clasps, with an appropriate address, from
the Conservative ladies of the town of Warwick.

It will be seen, by a requisition in our advertis-
ing columns, most numerously and respectably signed, that
the High Sheriff of Kildare has convened that county for
Monday next. In the requisition will be found the names
of the great body of the landed proprietors and prin-
cipal freeholders, including men of what are termed mo-
derate opinions, such as Mr. Marmaduke Cramer Ro-
bert as well as politicians of the most ardent charac-
ter. An attempt has been made to drive out the
Ministry, and to restore the Orange regime in Ireland.
Accordingly, the freeholders of Kildare will take the
position required by the crisis, and we have reason to
know that the first of our Peers—_a man every way so
estimable in public and private life, but who is generally
averse to political demonstrations on ordinary occasions—
will feel it his duty to come forward, and give the aid of
his high name and character to the deliberate resolves of
the people of that county in which his Grace the Duke of
Leinster holds such immense possessions. It need scarcely
be added that another resident Nobleman, Lord Cloncurry,
whose name has been so invariably associated with every
effort to protect our liberties, as well as to improve the
condition of our population, will be at his post amongst
'the Reformers of Kildare.—Dublin Evening Post.
THE LATE LORD DE hogs.-This nobleman,
who expired at his villa in the Grove-road, St. John's
Wood, on Friday last, after a lingering indisposition, in his
46th year, was premier Baron of England, and succeeded
his mother, Charlotte, the late Baroness, Jan. 9, 1831.
His Lordship's father was Lord Henry Fitzgerald, third
son of James first Duke of Leinster, who died July 8, 10.9,
having married, 4th August, 1791, Charlotte Baroness de
Roos, in whose favour the barony was called out of abey-
ance in 1806. His Lordship, dying unmarried, is suc-
ceeded in his title and estates by his next brother, the Hon.
Lieut.- Col. William Lennox. Lascelles de Roos, colonial
agent for Malta, late Major of Brigade to Lieut.-General
Sir Charles Dalbiac, Inspector-General of Cavalry. The
present Peer married Lady Georgiana Lennox, third
daughter of the late, and sister to the present, Duke of
Richmond. The late Lord, familiarly known in fashion-
able society as Henry de Roos, was for several years consi-
dered the glass of fashion in the circles of ton, but of late
years he had suffered much from ill health, arising from a
dropsical complaint. _

A NOBLE HUNGARIAN'S OPINION OF ENG-
LAND.—Among the passengers, I had the pleasure of
making the acquaintance of a Hungarian nobleman,
(Loyola D'Orassy by name,) with whom I had a great
deal of conversation in French. I found him a most en.
lightened man, and perfectly acquainted with the past
history and present political condition of England. He
told me there was no nation of Europe which his country-
men respected so much as England; and that no stranger
was so heartily welcomed in Hungary as the Englishman.
Of the celebrated British statesmen, Earl Grey was his
especial favourite. I never heard a more glowing, and, in
my opinion, juster eulogium, than ho passed on the high
and consistent character of that distinguished nobleman,
whom he pronounced " hornrne sans pareil dans l'histoire
d'Angleterre." He then discussed Lord Brougham, for
whose genius and eloquence he expressed a high admira-
tion ; but he regretted deeply, in common with myself and
many others, I believe, that his elevation to the Peerage
had removed him from tho floor of the House of Commons,
where alone he was calculated to shine. Indeed, he re-
marked, that he considered Brougham's star to be on the
wane, from the day he quitted the leadership of the Oppo-
sition in the House of Commons. The heads of the Tory
party were next brought on the tapis, but now the language
of praise was exchanged for that of censure. I was
really quite surprised at the intimate knowledge he dis-
plaj ed even of the most trivial political transactions of my
country. Although he does not speak English, he reads
it ‘Nith facility, and sass be always looks with impatience
for the arrival of the Edinburgh Review at the Cacino.
