opinion of the monied interest that Ministers will require more
money than was gecerally anticipated, but whether by loan or

We understand that Lord Wahlegrave and Mr.
Duff (late of the 9th Lancers) will be brought up for judg
meat on Thursday. A friend, on whose veracity we can rely,
assures us that it can be shown, most clearly, that Mr. Duff
was not present when the outrage on the Twickenham police-
man was perpetrated, and that he can adduce the clearest
testimony to that effect.. We shall rejoice to find that such is
the case ; but such testimony can hardly be received now,
unless he shows his plea of guilty was recorded without his
authority, whip 11 we are told he will be enabled to do.— United
Service Gazette,
A good deal of sensation has been excited by
the abrupt departure from Edinburgh of a rather conspicumis
N7ember of the Whig party here, who held several public office;
of very considerable emolument and resp. nsibility. It is said
that the individual in question, in intromitiing with the funds
committncl to his charge, has proved a defaulter to the amount
of 10,0001., which the 4evernment will be compelled to make
good out of his personal estate, which, however, is said tei) be
Ltreatly inadequate to meet his numerous other liabilities. This
affair has excited a good deal of surplise, from the circum-
stance that the party in question has been, for a long series of
years, in the receipt of an tenurial income of not less than 2,0001
derived from the various offices he held, which are now un-
derstood to be vacant.—Edinburgh Post.

DEATH OF LADY ALBERT CONYNGHAM.---
We have to announce, the death of the above lady. who expired
at twenty minutes past ten on Thursday night, at Mieklehara-
hall, Surrey. The immediate cause of her Ladyship's death,
was the scarlet fever. The deceased lady, who *as fourth
daughter of the late, and sister of the present Lord 'dot ester
was born on the lt)th of December, 1809, and was consequently
in her thirty-second year. Her Ladyship was marri.d to Lord
Albert Conyngham, late M.P. for Canterbury, and Secretary
of Legation at Berlin, the 6th of July, 1833, by whom her
Ladyship leaves a family of six children, namely, two sons and
four daughters. The death of her Ladyship has cast a deep
gloom over the families of the Dowager Marchioness of Co"
nyngham, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Sir William M•
Somerville, Hart., M.P., and Lady Maria Somerville, Lord
Carrington, Marquis and Marchioness of Conyngham, tho
Hon. Colonel Anson, M.P., and Hon. Mrs. Anson, Hon.
Cecil Weld Forester, Lord Forester, and other members of the'
family, by the premature demise of her Ladyship.
THE NOTTINGHAM •ELECTION.—We hale
received a great number of letters from Chartists in Londe*
and other parts of the country, complaining in strong JO"
guage of the baseness of their fellow-Chartists in supporting
the representative of a journal that has shown so little lenien•
cy towards the Chartist prisoners. Some of these letr
ters ate very creditable to the writers, but we regreo
they have come too late to be of much use. In one of the*
we find the following remarks respecting Frost and his fellow*
exiles :—" Do not, men of Nottingham, forget that there eti
a report reached London some six months ago, stating that the
poor exiles were somewhat indulgently treated in their lonelf
banishment, and that the Times was the first paper to bring
this forward as a marked accusation against the Whigs, Nvba
were further questioned by the Tories in the Commons for
doing so."
BERLIN, APRIL 14.—Letters from St. Pe"
tersburg,h say that Baron Von Tatiseheff, the Russian Ambits..
sailor at the Austrian Court, will not return to Vienna. Count
Worenaoff is spoken of 83 his successor ; some however say
that Mr. Van Lewas-off, or M. de Rebranssiene, will proba-
bly be appointed to succeed him.
AUGSBURG, APRIL 20.—Our letters from Tur-
key today, without any late mails from Constantinople, eom.-
municate various opinions respecting the real grounds of the
fall of Resehid Pacha ; one of these conjectures that Resehid
will be sent as Ambassador to London.

• VIENNA, APRIL 13.—The Duke of Monte'
bello is now spoken of as the probable successor of the Count
of St. Aulaire, as Ambassador at this Court.

The Nottingham election is now causing n&
little stir among the Tories. The " Great Rejected.°
Mr. Walter, of the Times, seems to possess the exclusive.
privilege of attempting all the deperate elections in Eng'
land; and it is well, indeed, for the Carlton Club that
men t f so much good metal is in their service, the wore
especially as the contributions to their Election Fund are
now falling sadly off. Mr. Walter, however, is destined,
to be again beaten off, and sent back minus his usual
amount of thousands. Any candidate who descends to
employ money in disreputable purposes, is certain;
to succeei ain raising a hot outcry among par-
ticular classes in his favour, hut the grew. body of elector'
are generally more disgusted than seduced by such enthu-
siasm. Nor is the preset,t contest in Nutingham likely
to be cf a different complexion, although some few mit-
guided wretches who take to .bemselves the name of Char-
tists have joined the outcry against Mr. Larpent. the Li-
bzral candidate. The Chartists. general 4, however ex-
treme and unyielding in their opinions, are too sincere and
too-clear-sighted to be led away in so silly a manner.. The
more educated and reflecting of their leaders have most
properly separated themselves from the violent declainiers,
and the fact of the former keeping aloof from Mr. Walter
and his geld, is sufficient of itself to explain why the others
are employed in the service of the enemy:--British Queen.

THEATRICALS AT COURT.—There were co'
tain ineithnts in the rehearsals which, as far as her Ma-
jesty was concerned, the King by no means approved ; se.
for example, when a kiss was to be given or received,
Louis XVI. would manifest symptoms of uneasiness; be •
would swing backward and forward on his chair, 04
cough loudly. " These things," ho would say, .4 may be
observed in the performance, but there is no necessity for
,hearsing them." It was deemed prudent to take a hint
from these manifestations of disapprobation, lest the King
should prohibit the performances altogether. It was
therefore resolved, that there should be no saluting at re-
hearsals; and that, by way of subst'tute, the ladies should
incline their heads, and the gentlemen raise their hands to
their shirt fulls., and kiss the lace.—Theodore .Hooh's
French Stage.
We have already announced that Colonel Hodges
has bean appointed to the Consul-Generalship at Ham'
burgh. We understand, however, that Colonel Hodges
will return to Alexandria with the Consuls of the other
Great Powers, parties to the Treaty of July, when thet
shall all have agreed to repair to the Egyptian capital; Inti
his stay there will be only temporary.
On Saturday, at a meeting of the Marylebond
vestry, Mr. Kensett congratulated the board and the rattr-
pay. rs of the parish ge:,erally upon the extraordinsli
change in affairs and the healthy state of the parochial
finance. The vestry had,at the present time, upward* :Q
10,000L:talance in tie it favour in the banker's hands—..lnd
in a very few days he understands that they would have.
the still more pleasing du'y to perform of taking of the
rates a sum exceeding another 12,0001.
MR. RANSFORD'S CONCERT.--Mr. Rans-
ford will give a Concert on Wednesday next, at the Mu-
sieal Hall, in Store-street, in which he will he masted by
Mr. Young, Mr. Pearsall, Mrs. Toulmin, and several
other excellent singers. He will sing a " new na.ionsil
sang" for the first time, erit;tled " The Captain of the
aze ;" and Miss Dolby will give that beautiful ballad,
"My Jamie, thou wcrt kind to me." A number of instru-
mental performers are also engaged, and the entertain-
ments altogether will be of a very superior description.
Mr. Ransford welt known to the public that it is to-
necessary to say a word in his praise, and we have no
doubt that he will meet with that patronage which he 49
well deserves.il
