We hear that the reports respecting the health
of the Duke of CLAILINCE are not altogether unfounded.
The attack, however, is of a character which does not
einffine his • Royal Highness to his room, or cause the
slightest alarm among his friends. It is merely attended
with" personal inconvenience.—Morning Paper.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is said, is to be itnme•
diattlY raised to the peerage. It is even added that both
the Duke of WILLINGToN and the Right Hon. Baronet's
late' interview with the KING had this object in view ;
but this we can scarcely credit.—Morning Paper.
It was stated by Mr. HUME, in the House
of Comthons, on Tuesday, " that he had risen on Mon-
day at seven o'clock, and did' not get to bed until a quar-
ter before four, having been up for 21 hours, the greater
part of which time was passed in the House." As a
pendant to the Hon. Gentleman's example of the laborious
nature of the duties of a Legislator, it is worthy of notice
that in seven short Sessions, from 1822 to 1828, both
yeais inclusive, the nation profited, by the labours of
Parliament, to the extent of upwards of two thousand
one hundred Acts. Considering the great waste of time
of the two Houses in lengthy speeches and profitless dis-
cussions, it is quite evident that the greater number of
these Acts must pass through their different stages almost
in silence, their contents known only to the few who are
immediately concerned in their preparation.

PROVINCIAL MANAGERS.—We do not re-
member to have seen so many manageri.in London as at
the preieni moment. Some are pursuing pleasure, and
other. haveaneye to the main chance. MURRAY, of the
Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, has been forming a matrimo-
nial engagement with Miss GRAY, a pupil of Miss KELLY,
who has played at the Eng Hilt Opera-house for the last
few seasons. SEYMOUR, of Glasgow, is on a visit to his
friend KR&N. By the way, we observe the name of
nuncio SEymoul in the Scottish Gazette—a circum-
stance Which will not astonish any man who knows the
theatrical t tate of the " GlasgoW bodies." In July, 1824,
we actually saw Miss PATON and HORNE play to 7/. 10s.
in the late theatre—.a house nearly as large as either of the
winter establishments. WALLACE, the next star, played
Sylvester Dagger-wood and Norval to a half-price house.
In the hope of bringing an audience. ALEXANDER. of the
Dunlop 'Theatre, Glasgow, is doing great business through
his private connection ; and it is somewhat singular that
this is the only provincial city which boasts two patent
theatres, while there is not sufficient encouragement for
One. DOWNE, of York, has taken a snuff-shop, and fore-
gone the sock and buskin as a bad speculation. CLARK,
of Liverpool, is completing his starring arrangements for
the
eseason. SINCLAIR will be the first, if he can find
• WATSON has got Cheltenham, vice COOKE, and
se"" to be giving charity salaries. Norwich SMITH is
resting on •
1'45 05114 and does not seem inclined to " burn
his fingers" by renewing Lis lease. Sheffield is in the
market. BAss, of the Caledonian Theatre, Edinburgh,
bus been compelled to close and discharge his company, in
evasequenee of bad business.
