DINNER TO THE EARL OF ELGIN.—A complimentary
dinner is to be given to this nobleman on Thursday next,
by gentlemen connected with our Canadian dependen-
cies. It is expected that the entertainment will be a
very brilliant affair. Lord John Russell has consented
to take the chair ; and among the noblemen and gentle-
men who have already signified their intention of being
present may be mentioned hist Excellency James Bu-
chanan, United States Minister at this Court ; the Duke
of Newcastle, the Earl Grey, the Earl of Ellesmere, the
Earl of Durham, Lord Glenelg, Lord Ashburton, Lord
Ilonteagle, Lord Stanley, M.P., the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., Sir
George Grey, Bart., M.P., the Right Hon. Sidney Her-
bert, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, M.P.,
the Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., the Right Hon.
Sir Gore Ouseley, K.C.8., the Right Hon. Sir James
Stephen, the Hon. Francis Hincks, Prime Minister of
Canada ; Mr. Frederick Peel, M.P., Sir Francis Head,
Lieut.-General Sir James M`Donnell, Sir Emerson
Tennent, Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P., and a list of nearly
50 other members of the House of Commons.
CASINO DE VENISE.-Mr. Packer, the conductor of
the band at the above-mentioned popular place of amuse-
ment, gave a grand bal masque last night, which was a
bumper, and went off with great eclat. The dance
music was particularly good, including many popular
favourites and pieces composed expressly for the occa-
sion, namely, the " Corbeille d'Oranges" quadrille, by
Montague ; the "Eugenie" schottische, by Marriott ;
the " Vive Paris" quadrille, by Tinney ; the " Floral"
fete polka, by Anderson ; the "Doneraile" waltz, and
the "Isola Bella" quadrille, by Mrs. H. St. Leger, the
finale of which was encored.

THE TURKISH EMBASSY.—Much activity continues to
prevail at the Ottoman Embassy, in Bryanston-square,
where despatches from the seat of government at Con-
stantinople are constantly arriving. The Minister, M.
Musurus, in his progress to the Drawing-room yester-
day, was loudly cheered, and also saluted by many of
the spectators taking off their hats to the Envoy as his
equipage proceeded to the Palace.
THE WELLINGTON STATUE AT THE GUlLDHALL.—Yes-
terday the Wellington Committee connected with the
Corporation of the city of London, met at the Guildhall
for the purpose of choosing one from the six models ori-
ginally furnished, which will represent, in a marble me-
morial, the noble Duke and his exploits during a long
series of years. The committee, of whom a large num-
ber was present, first decided to reduce the six candidates
to three, by three separate votings. In the first cast
there were for Bell 23, for Foley 19, for Behnes 15, for
Adams 9, and for Smith and Thomas none. In the
second there were for Bell 19, for Feley 12, for Behnes
6, and none for the other candidates. Finally, it ap-
peared that there were 19 for Bell, and no one for the
other candidates ; that gentleman was, in consequence,
declared to be the successful competitor. The pro-
ceedings then terminated. We understand that
it is the intention of the Corporation to permit
the public to view the whole of the specimens
without cost, but that an order from one of the
members of the committee will be necessary. They will
be on view only a few day. The rejected models, we
understand, will be placed either in the newly-opened
Orphan Asylum at Brixton, or in some other place be-
longing to the Corporation, which the Court of Common
Council may appoint.
