CITY OF LONDON CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIA-
TION.—The whole of the arrangements for the grand dinner
to be given this day by the members of the City of_ London
Conservative Association, in Covent Garden Theatre, are
finished, and are upon the most magnificent scale ; 1,038 gen-
tlemen have taken tickets, and the dinner will be attended by
many Members of both Houses of Parliamet, and the principal
bankers and merchants of the city, professing Conservative
principles. The pit has been covered over, which, with the
stage of the theatre, will be laid out for the entertainment.
The dress and upper tiers of boxes will be appropriated ea.
tirely for the reception of ladies, and every seat will be oc-
cupied. There has been a great demand for tickets, which
now bear a high premium. As there is a debate on the sub-
ject of flogging in the army to be brought forwrrd in the
Lower House this evening Sir Robert Peel will, perhaps, not
be able to attend ; in that case the Duke of Wellington will
honour the entertainment with his presence. The Dukes of
Newcastle and Beaufort will be present. The dinner will be
on the table punctually at six o'clock.
RUMOURED MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--The
Hon. Col. Grey, M. P., son of the ci-devant Premier, and
next brother to Lord Howick, is about to be married to Miss
Farquhar, daughter of the late Sir Thomas Farquhar, Bart.,
of Cadogan House, banker. Col. Grey is in his 32d year,
and has served a good deal in the army; he is now Colonel of
the 71st Foot, and M. P. for Wycombe.

The Duke of Devonshire will 'give his first grand

the Landgravine and a select party of thirty. His Grace is
also about to give a grand concert of vocal and instrumental
music, for which the talents of the singers of the King's
Theatre have been engaged.
The Lord Chancellor will give the usual breakfast
to the Judges, King's Counsel, &c. on Friday next, the first
day of Easter Term, at his Lordship's house, in Bruton-street.
Sir Jeffery Wyatville, having completed the al-
terations and various improvements connected with Windsor
Castle, is about to return to his own private residence. The
furniture contained in the suite of apartments occupied for
the last five years by Sir Jeffery, was removed during the last
week. _

- -----
The arrangements of the Bishoprics are, we under-
stand, now fixed. Dr. Allen to be Bishop of Ely.; Doctor
Longley, Bishop of Chichester ; Dr. Butler, Bishop of Lich-
field ; and Dr. Shuttleworth, Bishop of Ripon.
An erroneous paragraph appears in the Post this
mornin,i, in reference to the family of Mr. Coke, of HolkJ
ham. Mr. Coke himself is in good health, and Lady Anne
Coke has been pronounced out of danger. Her ladyship's
youngest child, an infant of fourteen months old, died some
days ago of the croup.
Sir John Audrey, one of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court at Bombay, we hear, had a narrow escape last
July : a punkah, heavy enough to require six men to carry,
having fallen on his head while trying a prisoner, his forehead
was quite black from being forced on his desk by the weight
of the punkah. He retired for an hour, and afterwards re-
turned to finish the trial.

Mademoiselle Taglioni is making a tour in the
south of France for the improvement of her health, and've
hear that she is not likely to appear in London this season.
Madame Taglioni, her sister-in-law, has been engaged at
the Imperial Theatre at St. Petersburg, where the Emperor a
short time since presented her with diamonds of considerable
value.

The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch are expected
to arrive for the season at Montagu-house from Dalkeith Pa-
lace on the 20th instant. His Grace will be present at his
Majesty's dinner to the Knights of the Garter on the 23d
instant.

The periodical rumour of a speedy dissolution of
Parliament was r cry current yesterday at the political club-
houses. Some persons offered to take odds that it would take
place in the course of this month ; but the general opinion is,
that a dissolution, or no dissolution, will be regulated by the
conduct of the House of Peers with respect to the Irish Cor-
poration Bill.

GREEN PEAS FROM PORTUGAL. Among
the various new branches of trade which the establishment of
steam communication has created, that, of the introduction of
green peas at this early period of the season deserves to be
mentioned. There were some excellent green peas, in good
and fresh condition, at market yesterday, brought from Lis-
bon by the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company's packet
Liverpool.

GAIETIES AT FLO RENCE.—Mr. Abercrombie,
the new Minister, has established himseff in the beautiful
villa Corsi.. Report says that a matrimonial engagement will
require his presence in England in the course of the summer,
when the duty will devolve on the Hon. Mr. Edgecumbe,
Secretary of the Legation. Lady Seymour is still at Flo-
rence, where she will remain until the weather permits her
joining Sir George at Brussels. Several receptions have
been held at Court, remarkable in no respect excepting for
the absence of the forestieri. We understand that three balls,
after Easter, are to be given at the Palais Pitti, on the usual
scale of magnificence, when a full attendance may be con-
fidently anticipated, The season of Lent has been enlivened
by private theatricals, &c. A most brilliant exhibition of
tableaux vivants was given a few evenings since by Mrs.
Hastings Anderson, where the fair hostess took a prominent
part in this interesting and classic amusement. Her personi-
fication of " La Giuditta," with head of Holofernes, was
superior to any thing. of the kind we have ever seen—the
soul to do a daring deed was ably pourtrayed by her ex-
pressive countenance. To pass over the " Madonna of Mo-
rello" is impossible—it was the very beau ideal of loveliness.
Not even the splendid Rebecca of Walter Scott, which she
afterwards personified, decked in all the rich trappings of
the dark-eyed Jewess, can efface from our recollection the
calm saint-like loveliness of the unadorned, humble-attired
" Mary." The infant Saviour in her arms was represented bY
one of her children, a charming infant of three years old. In
the course of the evening 21 tableaux were given. The rapid
succession in which they followed was extraordinary, consider-
ing the diversity of costumes. Miss de Courcy displayed
much grace in several of the principal ones ; her 44 Medora"
was lovely, and in interest could not be surpassed. Miss Rice's
" Mary Stuart" gave a fair idea of the ill-fated Queen. Se-
veral of the principal artists of the Tuscan capital lent their
able aid in the arrangements, &c. Mr. Liverati, as " Conrad,"
ably personified the splendid brigand of our immortal poet.
Mr. Massini's well-known picture of the " Conspiracy of the
Pazzi" was the first tableau given. Upwards of 200 persons
were present, amongst whom were the English, French, Rus-
sian, and Prussian Ministers Lord and Lady Clinton, Sir
Horace and Lady Seymour, Lord and Lady George Seymour,
Mr. and Mrs. Jerningham, Lady Popham, Mr. and Mrs.
Haire, Mr. Sandford, Hon. Colonel de Courcy, Hon. Mr. and
Mrs. Edgecumbe, the Prince Corsini, Marquis Torrigiano,
Duke de Dino, &c. Many houses are engaged a t Florence
for the ensuing winter. A brilliant season is anticipated; and
we are inclined to hope for a revival of. _former times, when
this capital possesSed attractions, en fad de societe, surpasso
by none in Europe.
The glove trade is at the present time very brisk at
Woodstock—every hand is busily employed, as well as many
from Worcester and other places.
