notes on " Hudibras," records the deposition of a lawyer,

MR. STANLEY.—Orders have been receired
to make the necessary arrangements at the Castle for the
reception of the Chief Secretary, where the Right Hon.
Gentleman will take up his residence during his stay in
Dublin, instead of the Park, in order that his undivided
attention may be devoted to the duties of his office. Mr.
STANLEY is expected to arrive on the 12th. This an-
nouncement will, we trust, put an end to the speculations
of knaves, and the credulity of fools, as to his resipation
of the Irish Government.

On Saturday afternoon, in honour of their
MAJESTIES' arrival in Brighton, a balloon, with a colossal
pasteboard figure of a man suspended from it, was sent up
from the battery. It attracted much attention as it passed
over the town eastward. The machine then appeared to
take a south.easterly direction, and it was expected that it
would ultimately fill into the sea. The result, however,
proved otherwise, for, on Tuesday morning, Mr. BELL,
the master gunner, received the following letter by post :
" Sir, the balloon and figure fell at Buckley Furnow, on
the top of an oak tree, near the mill-pond, at half.past
four o'clock in the afternoon. It was two hours coming
from Brighton, which is forty miles, to the Furoow mill,
mar Northiam. R. DURANT, 29th October. 1831."
It was let off from this place at half-past two o'clock.—

We hear that some extensive alterations are to
take place in the enclosure of St. James's Park imme-
diately. The canal is to be reduced in length, so as to
allow of space sufficient for the erection of an ornamental

lodge at either end of it; which lodges are to he occupied
by persons who are to have the care of the Park ; and in
the centre of the canal a handsome fountain is to be con-
structed. These alterations are ordered, we understand,
preparatory to their MAJESTIES taking possession of the new
Palace; and our informant adds that they are to be com-
menced this week.

The Monmouth Merlin states that the Bishop
of LLANDAYF has publicly declared that he is convinced of 1
the necessity of Reform, and that he wishes it to be gene-
rally known that he will support the measure when again
brought forward.
The Bishop of DURHAM left Auckland
Castle on Thursday, for Harrogate. We understand his
Lordship has inatlifAted great signs-at tneasiness since the
burning of his effigy.—Durham Chronicle.
THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK'S PROXY.—

We stated last week that the Archbishop of YORK, having
been necessarily detained in Yorkshire during the discus-
,ion on the Reform Bill in the House of Peers, sent his
proxy in favour of the Bill going into Committee to the
Bishop of LoNnoN, who was prevented from attending in
his place, on that occasion, by the unexpected death of his
father. Upon this subject same further explanation
seems necessary. Mr. BLOMFIELD, the Bishop of LON-
DON'S father, died at Bury St. Edmund's, on W,dnesday,
the 28th of September, and the division on the Reform
Bill did not take place till Friday night, the 7th of Oc-
t,:ber ; there was therefore ample time to have transferted
the proxy to the Bishop of CHIC ESTER, who was favour-
able to the Bill, and it is due to the prelacy as well as to
the nation, that the Bishop of LONDON should explain
why the Archbishop of YORK'S proxy was sacrificed, and
why he did not place it in bawls that would have car-
ried into effect his Grace's patriotic intentions.—Leeds
Mercury.
The escape of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL
from Bristol is said to have been exceedingly well managed.

WEST INDIA SLAVERY.--From a letter by
Mr. BRITTEN, a missionary at Anguilla, dated December
last, we make the following extract :—" I was enabled on
the sth t, procure the manumission of a member of our
society, who by a chain of providences had become a slays
to her own daughter.
By letters received in town via Marseilles,
dated Malta, the 18th ult., we learn that a vessel had ar-
rived at that island from Alexandria in 26 days, having
touched at Bengasi ; she had brought one letter only front
Alexandria, of the 23d of September, which advised
that the cholera had entirely ceased at Cairo, and that it
had diminished at Alexandria to eight or ten cases per
diem. There had been no instance of death amongst those
who had adopted the usual quarantine precautions. The
mortality among the natives had been very considerable.
Is was stated the public administrations would be opened
for busi.-:?ss early:in October.
We learn with great pleasure that no new
cases of cholera have been reported to the Board of Health,
and we have seen several !tilers this morning from Sun-
derland and Newcastle, which deny that it is the real
Asiatic cholera that has appeared there. The following
extract •,f a letter, of a more apprehensive tendency, has,
however, been handed to us, which of course will be read
with the allowance due to the varied impressions these
alarms produce on different temperaments, and the vague-
ness of the statement itself :—Extract from a letter dated
Sunderland, Nov, We fear that the continental cho-
lera has reached Sunderland. There have been six deaths
in the course of the week, and we hear to-d 1 of two new
cases, one of which is the decided cholera, the other doubt-
ful; both patients are still suffering under the malady, but
with some hopes of their recovery."
