CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DEC. 28.

M. Bedoch, senior Deputy and President pro tempore,
took the chair at half-past twelve, when the Chamber hav-
ing adopted the report of the former sitting, proceeded to
the nomination of the bureaux (standing comm►ttees.) The
Deputies arrived slowly, and instead of taking their places
remained for some time in front of the tribune, and entered
into private conversation. M. Thiers, late President of the
Council, entered the Chamber at an early hour, and took
his seat upon a bench belonging to the second section of the
centre gauche.
At half past two, there was a tolerably full attendance of
Deputies ; on the Ministerial bench we observed MM.
Guizot, Persil, Martin (Du Nord), and Admiral Rosamel.
The President read a letter from the King, intimating
that his Ailajesty would receive the grand deputation of the
Chamber at twelve o'clock on Sunday next (New Year's
Day), and would also be happy to see as many other mem-
bers of the Chamber as• might be pleased to accompany
the deputation an that occasion.
The Chambers having disposed of some matters con-
nected with the elections of Deputies lately chosen, pro-
ceeded to vote by b.iliot for the nomination of a President
and four Vice-Presidenis.
The result of the votes (307 in all) for the different can-
didates was as follows :
For M. Dupin
M. Laffitte
M. Ilumann
M. Jaqueminot
M. Royer Collard
M. R. Fontaine 4
M. B. Delessert 4
M. Dupin was accordingly re-elected President of the
Chamber.
The vote by ballot for the nomination of four Vice-Pre-
sidents were not concluded when the reporter left.

THE DUCHESS OF; ST. ALBANS.—The last time
her Grace resided at Brighton, some ladies of her acquaint-
ance called upon her, and in the course of the conversation
that ensued, one of them related the circumstances of a
lady who had fallen into distress, who formerly moved in
highly respectable society. This conversation took place
amon., the ladies, and her Grace did not appear as if she
noticed it at all. Unknown, however, to any'person, as it
has since been ascertained, her Grace dressed herself so as
not to be easily known, and, unattended, called upon the
lady in decayed circumstances, and having found that the
talc she bad heard recited was strictly true, when she came
away, she left a small parcel behind her, requesting that it
might not be opened till after she left the house. The
astonishment of the lady in distress may be conceived,
when, on opening the parcel, she found that it contained the
sum of 3001.! These are the bare facts, which we have
from the highest authority, and they are too honourable to
the Duchess of St. Albins to require a single comment,—
Brighton Patriot.
The Hon. Charles Compton and Lady Catherine
CavendisL have arrived at Burlington House, from Lati-
lie fi.:i CI be present at the nuptials of their niece, Miss Ca-
vendish, to Count d'Harcourt. Lady Charles Fitzroy has
arrived from the Duke of Grafton's seat, Wakefield Lodge,
Northamptonshire, for the same purpose ; but the young
lady continues unfortunately indisposed.
ST. JAMES'S TITEATRE.—The new pieces, pro-
duced on Monday, havo> drawn excellent houses every
night. They have been got ui; with considerable care, and
at some cost, as regards costume an:l scenery. In the bur-
letta of Bletchington House, opportuntiZs are afforded for
the display of the pathetic powers of Miss ii:jsen, and the
dry humour of Mr. Harley. Of the singing of Mr.
Braham, it may with the strictest truth be said that it re-
tains its freshness, its exquisite pathos, and its rapidity And
beauty of execution.
The continued severity of the weather, uncheered
by any prospect of mitigation, has been productive of its
usual effects, that of raising the prices of food, fuel, and
other necessaries, almost equally vital at this inclement sea-
son. If the predictions of those who lay claim to superior
weather-wisdom are to be depended upon, there are several
more weeks of constant frost in store for us ; and should
such be the case, it is to ,be feared that the condition of
the poor (at all times sufficiently wretched) will be greatly
aggravated in its privation and distress. it is worthy of
remark, that the intense frost of 1814, the year celebrated
for its Cockney Carnival on the frozen l'hatnes, did not
commence until after Christmas, and bore other points of
resemblance to the one by which we arc now visited.
WHISKEY V. WATER.—Logan, on a market-day
in Kilmarnock, went into a tavern with a friend, and or-
dered some whisky. The waiter, when he set down the
measure, asked if they wished to have water along with the
spirits ? " Na," said the Laird, " had ye no better try
to tak' out the water that's in't already ?"—Laird of Logan.
