TIM NEWLY-CREATED PEERS.

The Right Honourable George James Welbore Agar
Ellis, whose elevation to the Peerage of the United King-
data by the title of Baron Dover appears in Friday's
Gazette, is only son and heir-apparent of Lord Viscount
Clifden, who inherits the English Barony of Mendip, •
which, of course, enables the Noble Viscount to sit in the
Up House of Parliament. The Barony of Dover is:
out &Slew title in the English Peerage, having been suc-
cessively borne by the distinguished families of Donglas,
Carey, and Yorke. The last occasion on which it became
extinct or dormant was in 1'792, on the death of Field-
Marshal Sir Joseph Yorke (created Baron Dover, 1789).
Lord Dover, whose talents and accomplishments fairly
entitle him to the honour which the Sovereign has con-
ferred upon him, is son-in-law to the Earl of Carlisle,
having formed a matrimonial alliance in 1822 with his
Lordship's second daughter, Lady Georgiana Howard, by
which lady he has a numerous family. Her Ladyship is
honoured with the personal friendship of her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, who lately stood sponsor to
Lady Georgiana's youngest infant. Oa the accession of
Earl Grey to office, Lord Dover was sworn in a member
of the Privy Council, and appointed First Commissioner of
Woods and Forests, in the room of Lord Lowther. This
office, however, his Lordship resigned on the plea of
health, and was succeeded by Viscount Duncannon.

The Earl of Sefton is one of the few Irish Peers who
•have, on succeeding to the family honours, continued to
represent English boroughs in Parliament. Although the
Earldom is an Irish title, his Lordship's property and
connexions are, we believe, exclusively British. Hit
Lordship is a Nobleman of very liberal politics, and during,
the long period that he sat for Droitwich, a borough un•
der the influence of Lord Foley, he invariably acted with
the Whig party.
The venerable Earl of Fingal is also distinguished lir
his liberal political principles. His Lordship is resident,
in Ireland, and therefore not to be included in the consi.l.l
derable number of Peers who, with their extensive posses,
*ions in that country, are absentees. Prior to the Earl'?
elevation to the British Periage, he was of course an he-
reditary Counsellor to the Crown; and his Lordshio
creation does not, therefore, augment the number of Irish
Peers. Lord Killeen, the Earl's only son, is the Member
for Meith, for which be was elected last August.
Lord Kinnaird is a young Nobleman, only twenty-four
years of age, and recently retired from the first Life
Guards, in which he held the commission of Lieutenant.
His Lordship is nephew to the Duke of Leinster, and
the late Hon. Douglas James Kinnaird, the bulk of
scl:o-e considerable fortune it is undersood his Lordship
inherits.

The preparations made yesterday at the House
of Lords, for the KING to go and open the Parliament ill
person today, were of the most extensive, and, as far ag
was possible, commodious and secure kind. Seats, forms,
and rails, covered with crimson cloth, have been affixed ill
the Painted Chamber, long gallery, &c. Those having
the Lord Great Chamberlain's (CHOLMONDELEY) tickets
will be admitted to those rooms at twelve o'clock to-dap
to see the KING pass to and from the Robing-room null
the House of Lords. The demands for these tickets es'
ceeded all precedent ; the stairs leading to his Lordshipil
Deputy's rooms at the Lords were crowded till six o'clock 4
and then piles of letters remained unopened or unanswered.
The Major had, indeed, crowds of attendants, and a troll%
blesome task to perform.

The demands for blanks, with which to fill
up proxies, have continued with considerable activity ; but
how many have been obtained will not be accurately knowa
till after to-day, because the Lords obtaining proxies hags
not yet been obliged to have the said proxies recorded fa
the House. Amongst those who have obtained proxies it
may, we believe, be stated that the Duke of GLoucEsTsa
holds the proxy of the Earl of COVENTRY ; the. Marquig
of LANSDOWNE has two proxies; Lord HOLLAND (vita
attended the House yesterday on a crutch, but in appa'
rently good health) holds Lord VERNON'S ; Earl Howl
has Lord CARDIGAN'S; Lord HOOD (we think) has Earl
NELSON'S; and Lords KENYON, REDESDALE, lee. MO
proxies. It has been mentioned in the Newspapers that
the Bishops intend not to vote on the approaching quer
tion ; be that as it may, some of the Bishops have obtained.
proxies; thus, we hear, the Bishop of BANCOK holds two
proxies, namely, those of the Bishops of DURHAM, and
ST. ASAPH, and the Bishop of LONDON that of the Bishop
of LINCOLN. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS toot
the oaths and his seat.

Yesterday the newly-created Peers, Lords
DOVER, SEFTON, &c. took the oaths and their seats•
About 80 Peers, during the afternoon, took the requisite
oaths ; amongst them were the Dukes of ALBANS.
BUCKINGHAM, and CHANDOS, Lords SIDMOUT/I, PLtrtr
KETT, NELSON, DACRE, DURHAM, &c. Since Tuesday
289 Peers have taken the oaths and their seats, that now-
her including five Roman Catholic Peers*namely, the
Duke of NORFOLK, and Lurds PETRE, DORMER, FINGAL,
and STOURTON• Many who attended yesterday were 90
infirm that it was with the greatest difficulty they were
got into the House! Their object in attending was to
take the oaths, so that they may dispose of their proxies.
and thus vote, though not personally present.

_
The Earl of ERROL, who was heretofore one
of the sixteen Scotch Peers, yesterday took the oaths and
his seat in pursuance of his newly created title, that Of
Baron KILMARNOCK. He attended in military costume.
We have more than once stated it as our be-
lief that some of the warmest, and at the same time most
insidious among the opponents of the present Ministers,
are to be found among persons about the Court.; of the
truth of which the following extract from one of thtt two
Sunday Papers in the interest of the borouglanongess (if
the fact, as stated, is to be relied upon) contaimrtunple
testimony :—" No longer ago (says the writer) than la 4
Wednesday, at St. James's, we saw Lord Guar COME DO
of the KING'S closet, and beckon the CnAiscsuaaa. and
Lord DuRHAM into a window, where they remainerfear-
nestly discussing something; while Lord AIELRouRNg
and Lord PALMERSTON, who were in the room, were left
uncalled for, to amuselves as they chose." •
A very strong sensation has, we find, been
produced in Scotland, by the extraordinary severity of the
sentence of transportation for fourteen years of some of
the men engaged in the riot at Dundee. We are far front
approving of the conduct which led to such a sentence;
but, after all, some allowance ought to be made for the
transition by which men may be led, in times of excitement,
to results which at first they never dreamt of. Thus, for
instance, at Dundee, the impertinent interference of the
Police with the bonfires on the day of rejoicing for the
l
which
passing of the Reform Bill irritated the people, and led to
resistance—the attempt to rescue their captured comrades
then suzgested itself to the crowd, and they unfortunately
yielded to the impulse. No doubt the actors deserve punish'
ment. But punishment ought not to be so severe as to
make the sufferers a universal object of sympathy; and this
we understand to be the case with the Dundee men. The
people of Scotland are quite indignant at the sentence. •

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.--Mr. ALFRED
STOTHA RD has ju,t completed a medallion of the Loet,
CHANcELLon. He has been very happy in the likeness,
which, indeed, is highly characteristic. We hadlhe plea-
sure of seeing a specimen at his father's house (Mr.
&roma RD, R.A.)in Newman-street.

The Duke of SUSSEX -has given .orders thit
all dogs found straying in Hyde-park shall bedestroyed.
Some step of this sort has become necessary, several of the
deer having been worried and killed by these animaii. tt
would be well if the attendants in the gardens of St.
James's-park were instructed to exclude dogs, which are
new suffered to roam there at will, an I, independently of
the danger to be dreaded from them at this season, are no
slight nuisance.

The history of the phantom said to have .ap-
peared to Lord GREY, although strangely magnified in itp
details, is true in the main. A spectral head was observed
between the columns of his Lordship's library at Howiek,
by himself, as well as by several female members of his
family. These phantasmagoria Tay be-easily produced by
artificial means.— Court Journal. _

THE IRISH ELECTIONS, Scc.--lire are in-
formed that the New Monthly Magazine for July will
contain an article of extraordinary interest upon this ex-
citing topic—peculiarly applicable to the present moral
and political condition of the country. It h also stated
that in the same number thete will be a complete exposé
of the Irish Church Establishment, in which such as-
tounding facts are brought together as must convince the
most prejudiced that " Reform" in Ireland will amount
to nothing unless it at once check the progress of this mon-
strous evil, and provide some salutary remedy for the in-
numerable mischiefs to which it has given rise.
The correspondent of a daily paper recom-
mends, as a preventive of cholera morbu•, that an order be
is.ned to prohibit the landing in the English ports of any
flax or hemp from Russia, particularly from Riga, for the
next six months, as he states that there is mach more
danger of the introduction of the dreaded malady through
their medium than even by the crews. We know not
whether this suggestion comes recommended by medical
authority, but it is evident that, if Government adopted
the step reCommended, it would make the fortunes of an
those speculators who have laid in stocks of hemp and flax.
