THE PENSION COMMITTEE.-The Committee,
which has been sitting for some time, have nearly completed
their report, in which they agreed to class the different parties
receiving money from the country, so as to enable them to get
at those who have no just or tangible ground for being retained
on the list. How many are to come under the latter head, or
to what extent the amount they represent opposite to their
names, cannot as yet be ascertained; but one primary resolu-
tion has been adopted, namely, that in future no pension is to
be granted but for real and bona fide services.
Mr. Hall, M.P., and family arrived in town yester-
day from their seat, Llanover Court, Monmouthshire, where
they have been passing the Easter recess.
The Tory journals announce that Sir George Clerk
is to be brought in for Stamford by the Marquis of Exeter,
vice Colonel Chaplin. If active operations are intended by
the Tories, Sir George will be needed in and about the House.
We have much pleasure in announing that the Go-
vernment have given a proof of their disposition to recog-
nize the claims of old literary servants of the public, by ap-
pointing one of the sons of Mr. Leigh Hunt, and the eldest
son of Mr. Sheridan Knowles, to Clerkships in the General
Register Office.

THE CORONATION.—Some of our contemporaries
have taken it upon themselves to announce that the Corona-
tion of her Majesty was to be postponed to August, if not to
some more distant period. Now, although we possess no
means of knowing what is determined on at Privy Councils
until the official announcement is madc, we do, nevertheless,
undertake in this instance to state, not as a rumour, but as a
certainty, that there is no intention whatever of postponing the
Coronation of our beloved Sovereign beyond the month of
June. If we were, like some of our contemporaries, to in-
dulge in conjectures on the subject, we should say that the
29th of June would probably be the day.—Observer.
The 'Countess Cadogan continues indisposed. Her
Ladyship is still confined to her apartments.
Married, at St. Paul's Chapel, Edinburgh, on the
23d instant, by the Rev. John Sinclair, A.M.,- Alexander
Boyd Kerr, Esq., of the Madras Rifles, second son of the late
Major General T. W. Kerr, to Jane Helen Campbell, eldest
daughter of the late Major-General and the Right Hon. Lady
Charlotte Murray Macgregor, granddaughter to the late and
niece to the present Earl of Caithness.

Married, on Saturday, the 28th instant, at St.
Emes's Church, Piccadilly, by the Rev. R. L. Benson, Chap-
lain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Guildford On-
slow, Esq., to Rosa Anne, daughter of General Onslow, of
Stoughton House, Huntingdonshire.
The Bishop of Llandaff very narrowly escaped
meeting with a very serious accident on Saturday near Ilmin-
ster. His Lordship's carriage came violently in contact with
a coal cart, by which one of the wheels was knocked off, but
providentially the Bishop met with little injury by the shock,
and in about an hour he was able to resume his journey.—
Dorset County Chronicle.

We believe it is in contemplation that during the
present season a fancy ball, of a very select description, will be
given for the benefit of the Scottish Corporation, under the
patronage of the Duchess-Countess of Sutherland and other
ladies of high rank; connected with Scotland.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.-011 Saturday morning a
hostile meeting took place in a field near Kilburn, between
Algernon Hullsingham, Esq. and Captain Bettfield, late an
officer in East India Company's service. A few minutes be-
fore six o'clock, Mr. H. arrived in a chaise, accompanied by
his friends, in the New North-road, and proceeded to the ap-
pointed ground, quickly followed by Captain Bettfield and his
friends; the seconds immediately measured the ground (16
paces), when the hostile parties took up their positions, and
fired, without either shots taking effect; the seconds inter-
fered and endeavoured to promote a reconciliation, but
without effect. A second discharge of shot ensued, when
Mr. H. received his antagonist's ball in the fleshy part of his
left thigh ; he fell, and was immediately attended by his
surgeon, and the wound, (which is not of a dangerous de-
scription) was dressed. Captain B. advanced to Mr. H.,
and both parties shook hands. The Captain and his friends
then quitted the ground, followed by Mr. H., who was car-
ried to his carriage, which was in waiting in the New North-
road. The occasion of the hostile meeting arose from a gam-
ing transaction.

-The long looked for improvements in the line be-
tween Westminster and Pimlico are, it is said, about to be
immediately undertaken by a Company, on the tontine prin-
ciple, which has adopted the Parliamentary report on the
subject. We may, therefore, anticipate the conversion of a
most squalid, filthy, and degraded region into one of the most
ornamental departments of the metropolis.
IVI. Deville, Director of the Museum of Antiquities
at Rouen, has lately made the acquisition of the seal of Saint
Bernard de Clairvaux. It is of brass, oval-shaped, and about
an inch and a half in its greatest width. It bears his effigy,
but without the mitre, to which he objected ; and round it the
legend. —Segillunz Bernardi, Abbatis Clarcevall.

A person residing at Antwerp has kept minutes of
the days on which swallows have made their first appearance at
that port during the last eight years. In 1831, it was on
April 6 ; 1832, April 13 ; 1833, April 6 ; 1834, April 15 ;
1835, April 2; 1836, April 18; 1837, April 21; 1838,

The trades of Glasgow are preparing to get up a
great public " demonstration" in favour of universal suffrage
in that city. It is fixed for the 21st of next month, and Mr.
Attwood and other " friends" from Birmingham are to be in-

on former occasions, with flags, banners, and music.
At a county meeting, called by the Sheriff, and
held at Shrewsbury on Thursday last it was unanimously re-
solved to construct a railroad from that town to Birmingham,
and steps were ordered to be taken to carry one of the plans
into effect.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

During the week public meetings have been held
at Monmouth, Chepstow, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, and other
towns on the road travelled by the late Bristol and Liverpool
mail, at which condemnations of its withdrawal, and memo-
rials and remonstrances upon the occasion, were unanimously
voted, numerously signed, and ordered to be sent up to the
Earl of Lichfield, the Postmaster-General. The inconve-
nience and injury inflicted on the mercantile classes by this
mail being stopped have been most seriously felt by the peti-
tioners.—Herefinq Journal.
On Tuesday morning the body of a female was
washed up on the banks of the Severn at Nait, near Gloucester.
The unfortunate creature appears to have been murdered and
then thrown into the water. Her nose was cut asunder, one
of her ears was cut off close to the bone, there was a deep
wound in her neck, and the back of the skull was dreadfully
fractured. A coroner's inquest was summoned upon the
body, which was sitting when this journal went to press.

EMBARKATION OF ROYAL ARTILLEY FOR
CANADA.—On Friday two companies of the Royal Artillery,
belonging to the second battalion, were paraded on the Barrack
parade at Woolwich, the senior officer present, Captain and
Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Maclachlan in command. The officers
who embarked on this occasion were Second Captain Slater,
Lieutenants E. Woodhouse and Paynter, Captain Shepherd,
Second Captain Torakyns, First Lieutenants Fitzgerald and
Youghal, Second Lieutenant Campbell, and Assistant-Sur-
geon Little. They marched down the Arsenal, preceded by
the band, playing the " British Grenadiers," and after halt-
ing for a last farewell, the drums and fifes struck up " The
Girls we leave behind us." They were then conveyed on
board transport No. 13, lying off the Dock-yard, amid the
cheers of the public,, who were freely admitted.
The Gipsy s Warning, Benedict's opera, now per-
forming at Drury-lane, has been the most productive piece
since Gustavus. Mr. C. Kean returns to Drury-lane on

names of rank and fashion.
Sir Watkin Williams Wynn gave his second ball on
Thursday evening, in St. James's square, in honour of the
presentation at Court of his daughter Miss Henrietta Wynn.
The spacious saloons were brilliantly lighted, and ornamented
by a profusion of choice exotics. Dancing commenced at
eleven to Weippert's band. The supper rooms were opened

spirit until three o'clock. The company included above three
hundred of the elite of the fashionable world.
