agents employed about the Church.
The Marquis of Wellesley is employing his time at
present writing a history of his Administration in the East
Indies. This will be an interesting work, and judging from
the writings and eloquent speeehes of the Marquis in early
life, the composition will be distinguished by the accuracy of
its arrangement and the elegance of the diction. 4
REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.-AII private
negotiations with influential persons in England to succeed
Mr. Colin Dunlop having failed, there is talk of several of
our own citizens being proposed. Besides Mr. Douglas,
we have heard mentioned Mr. W. Stirling, Mr. Johnston,
and Mr. Dixon.—Glasgow Chronicle.
Parliament is to meet on the 4th of February, by
which. day every Liberal Member that wishes to discharge
his duty to his constituents will be found at his post. Mi-
nisters, it is expected, will open the campoign in a spirit of
fearleis fidelity to the people who have supported them so
well. • Hull has no occasion to remind its representatives of
`their duty. If one-half of the professing Reformers in the
House of Commons were as -true to their avowed principles
as Mr. Hutt and Colonel Thonipson;the rebellion of a fac-
tion against the happiness of the natiou would speedily be
put down.—Hull Observer.

The measles are very prevalent in Lincoln, several
children having lately died ; four were interred on Sunday

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.--TIIC ne'v year is
bissextile ; the figures forming its date are 1-8,3-6 ; the
two first figures are the quantity of the two latter ; each
two figures combined make 9, the four make 18, which
two figures combined maLe 9 ; multiply the date df this
year by 9 ; the product is 16,524, which figures added
together make 18. Such a combination rarely occurs.

-Saturday last 1,550 barrels of gunpowder, purchased
of Government for the service of the Queen of Spain, were
taken from the magazine at Dover Casle, and shipped on
board the Good Intent brig in the harbour, for Spain. •
On Monday night died, at the advarich.l age of 90,
Mrs. Copley, the mother of Lord Lyndhurst.. This esti-
mable lady, besides the proud gratification of vv itizessing the
well earned honours of her eminent son, had the pleasure of
enjoying his society throughout her long
life, haying, we
believe, never lived apart from him. To a man of his Lord-
ship's
benevolent and affectionate disposition the 105 t.% of his
maternal friend will be a heavy one. It is their first sepa-
ration.

I have seen a gentleman just arrived from the South
of Russia, who says that large reinforcements were fleing
sent to the army in Caucasus. In reply to n.my question, as
to how the Russians were getting on there, he. said, " They
gain territory, I believe, but every piece of ground as large
as this room costs them a thousand men !" T7ie.we is the
true bulwark of our Indian empire—why don't we attend
to it ?
Attempts are made to excite alarm among the Mu-
nicipal Council at Boston, and to deter them from dis-
charging the old Town Clerk by the circulation of rumours
greatly exaggerating the amount of compensation to be
claimed by that functionary. The sums talk:ed about vary
from 6,000/. to 8,000/. Unfortunately for this hypothesis
the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the illegality of
his appointment, will tend greatly to reduce, if not totally
to annihilate, this monstrous claim—greater in amount than
the purchase of the fee simple of his office.—Lincoln
Gazette.

SIR W. A. INGILBY, BART.—The Lindsey Libe-
rals will be glad to hear that their Knight is in the full en-
joyment of good health ; and that their interested report
of his intention not to abide their call, is false. The re—
quisitions have already been too numerously and too respect-
ably signed, either to admit the idea of a refusal, or a doubt
of his triumphant success. Lady Ingilby is also, we are
happy to inform them, so much recovered that g►he.may be
pronounced convalescent.—Lincoln Gazette.

The grand opening dinner of the Carlton Club is
expected to take place about the Ist of February. It will
be attended by nearly all the noblemen and gentlemen of
Conservative principles, many of whom will come to town
for the eipress purpose of celebrating the event. Their late
club-house on Carlton terrace is now untenanted.
With the history of a beautiful Divorcee, once the
wife of a Noble Law Lord, up to the time of her quitting
England with a foreigner of distinction, everybody is ac-
quainted. Her after-fate is little known, still less can the
admirers of romance in real lifbe acquainted with the
curious facts that have just tranqred—but only in a still
small whisper—in Bavaria, where the frail fascinator has
been for some time residing. A little narrative, to appear
in the Court Journal, of Saturday, will, we understand,
furnish another proof that " Truth is strange---stranger
than fiction."

The statement of a Windsor paper that their Ma-
jestics do not intend to return to Brighton after the 'Open-
ing of the Session, has not, we are happy to say, the
slightest foundation in fact. According to present arrange
ments, her Majesty will go town with the King, and imme-
diatcly. after the Parliament has been opened their Ma-
jesties
will return to Brighton, and remain here about a :.
fortnight before they take their. final departure for the
season.-.._.B;'ighto►n Gazette.

n'ikvsi 3r THREE CUTTERS."

• TA; London, 1836.
noticed the literaiy portion' of this work, toge-
ther with..sonte of the Illustrations, a few days ago, and
have since received .proof impressions of the whole Of.
the Illustrations, many of which, and these to among
the be 4, we find that we omitted in our hurry.
" Sleepvr's Bay" is one of the number thus passed
over, not however from design, but accident ; for it is
an engraving in Wallis's most careful and finished man-
ner,.,
representing a moonlight at sea, with a vessel
Just getting under weigh. The scene is one of repose
and picturesque beauty ; and the lights and shades are
touched off with consummate neatness and delicacy.
The ". Deck of the Avenger" deserves notice, chiefly
from the single figure of the haughty, turbaned Turk,
'ho is seated beside on of the guns, and whose atti-
tude remarkable fe r Its freedom and easy dignity.
The Capture" is a spirited sketch of a sea-fight,
engraved by Willtr.ore, in a style that would do credit
'even to Finden. The remainder of the. Illustrations
We have already noticed ; we forbear, therefore, from
aayingianything: further on the subject.
