The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Aps-
ley-house, on Sunday, from Walmer Castle, in order to
attend his Parliamentary duties. During his Grace's so
journ at Walther he has been visited by the Marquis of
SALISBURY, Earl MANSFIELD, Earl CLANwILLIA3I, and
other noble thick-and-thin opponents of the Reform Bill.
The " gathering" of the Opposition Lords at Wa!m,r has
constituted the third Anti-Reform conference, which has
been held for the alleged purpose of arranging,
.in secret
conclave, the plans and system to be pursued by the Tories
on the approaching meeting of Parliament; the Earl of
ELDON having entertained the Duke of CUMBERLAND,
the Earl of SIIATTESBURY, anti Lord RoLLE, at Encombe ;
and the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord DE Boos, Sir
ROBERT PEEL, Mr. CROKER, and Sir HENRY COOKE,
M.P. for Orford, Were the guests of the Marquis of
HERTFORD, at Sudbourn, previously to his Lordship's de-
parture for Italy. The Earl of ROSSLYN, during the
prorogation, has chiefly resided at his seat in Fileshire, and
the Earl of LAUDERDALE is also in Scotland.

The titled lady who is said to have brought
about a marriage in high life, which has been attended with
such unfortunate results, is known among her acquaintance
by the flattering designation of " the man-hater."—

CIIOLERA.—The public mind is much agi-
tated at present about cholera, but three are instances of
the malignity and mortality of the disease in this country
which surpass any thing that has yet occurred: At a
small hamlet in East Lothian, in 1829, notwithstanding
the visitations of a respectable practitioner, there were
eleven deaths of a population of twenty-six persons. The
same thing happening then which is so much talked of
now, that the fi,h in a neighbouring lake all died. The
water underwent a chemical test without any cause bring
discovered for this singular occurrence.—Edinburgh Ob.

In a paragraph attached to the confessions of
BISHOP and WlLLtams, which appeared in The Sun of
yesterday, it was mentioned that " they (Bislior and
WILLIAMS) confessed that MAY had attempted to murder
two men, tr.c. :" instead of "MAY," the word should be
" they (Sisiror and WlLLtairs) &c."
To DETECT FRAUD.—AII pencils having
steel points, or nozzles, or tortoiseshell bodies, and white
metal substituted for silver, are frauds on the patent pen..
cils. To avoid all the inconvenience arising from the
spurious articles, see that the pencil has the name 44 S.
MORDAN and Co., Makers and Patentees," on the body of
the case, and that the case is all silver or all gold. And
also to ensure the proper leads for replenishing the case,
see that each box has a yellow belt, with the word " War-
ranted" on it, and a red sealing-wax impression, bearing
the initials "S. M. and Co." In many instances, the
purchaser has paid as much for these spurious steel. pointed
pencils and tortoiseshell cases, as for the genuine silver and
gold article. Shopkeepers in provincial towns would do
well to observe the above remarks, to prevent their being
imposed upon, the public being much inconvenienced in
not being supplied with the genuine article.
