Lady Antrobus gave a musical party last night
h.her mansion on the terrace, Piccadilly. It was numerously and fa_
1:44,1Y attended. A splendid suite of apartments was illuminated.
The
rooms abounded with rare specimens of vertu, and the whole of the
oarrangements were not easily to be excelled. The principal artistes
f her Majesty's theatre were engaged, and the programme contained
'aae of the most admired selections from the most celebrated maestros. Sir Robert Peel and Lady Fitzwygram entertained
of dinner, yesterday, Lord and Lady Bridport and Miss Hood,' Lords
Cranstoun and Bloomfield, Sir Edmund and Lady Hayes, Lord and
:adY Plymouth, Sir Charles and Lady Des Voeux, Mr. and Mrs. E.
Stewart and Miss Herbert, Mr. Perceval, Hon. C. Tottenham, Viscount
Loftus, and Lord George Loftus.
Mr. T. Charlton Whitmore, M. P. for Bridge-

Men this evening to Sir R. Peel.
The performances last night at Covent Garden The-
iere, Were The Lady of Lyons, The Veiled Portrait, and High Life
tow Stairs, for the benefit of Mr. Netter, the box book-keeper. The
a
-I'(lienee was very numerous, and we are glad to find the politeness and
attention of Mr. Netter so appropriately acknowledged.

FICTITIous VOTES.—It appears that at the first
f4,T10013, genuine election for Selkirkshire, after the passing of the Re-
th:ll".l3M, the constituency consisted of 238 electors; but that since
Ishin,.4ne five years' registration has added 444 new enrolments, of
• `" number 347 ale non-residents, and only 97 have any place of re-
sak,ce
,t within the county. In the first registration in 1832 there was
a single life-renter upon the roll, while the four succeeding years
(teave added 179 of this class, of whom not less than 170 are non.resi-
rkt
its. Early last year a property called the Dalglishes, near the con.

The postponement of the Budget, which has
:ie;-1
ted so much speculation in the city, was caused solely by the wish
‘ne Chary:eller of the Exchequer to have some returns which have
"'en ordered, and are not yet ready.
v. A. schism, we understand, has lately arisen between
", Bank of England and the bankers of London. The former has re-
cently adopted the plan of re-issuing old notes, instead of destroying all
IV as are returned to it, and issuing only new notes. The latter dig_
e this, as it exposes them to much inconvenience, and have remon-
strated against it without success. They have therefore, we arc told,
a`la °Pted the plan of rendering such re-issued notes unfit for circulation,
'ending them immediately they receive them, back to the Bank. When
gie lords of credit quarrel with each other, it will perhaps not be the
l''''`tse for the borrowers.
The last Lecture delivered by Dr. Chalmers con-
tained a splendid piece of declamation, to illustrate the immense in-
4nence of kindness over the hearts of the most sullen and most depraved.

Poor man's whiskey, his wife's tea, his children's food, are all subject

"`tontary church the poor man feels a sense of importance; and a

of Dr. Chalmers's discourses, intended to illustrate the advanta-

-0d to prove the good which can be done by kindness, the philan-
.7lnPie Ilarvey and the amiable Mrs. Fry, were both children of the
'oltintary principle, and both offered their services unpaid and unbought
to thus; whom they wished to benefit. Such are the gross inconsis_
nick, into which an ill-regulated imagination hurries Dr. Chalmers,
that he enforces a compulserv, system of Christianity, which makes it
hateful by quoting some of the most striking examples of the influence
Which
kindness
and philanthrophy have always exercised over the minds

The heroism of our gallant tars being, after all, our
heft security, we are happy to state that the daring exploit on the coast
(4 Spain, in saving a vessel from shipwreck, which appeared in our
l's Per of yesterday, was performed by the Hon. Edward Rosser Curzon,
a son of Lord Teynham, commanding the Savage sloop of war; whose
S_allant exertions, in saving a valuable ship and her crew off' Oporto, in
sietober last, was the theme of much applause in the naval circles. The
i,.'nanY distinguished acts which this young officer has already performed,

The Winter has at length disappeared. It will be
that Mr. George Robins is early in the field, or in other words,
