MISCELLANEOUS.

The Standard observed a few days ago that the Mi-
nisters had been invited to dine at Claremont, but some
of them having pressing engagements in town, declined
the honour. Now it happens that they did not decline
the honour, for they had not the opportunity of doing
so. The truth is, they were not asked ! Eight minutes
of Sir Robert Peel's conversation seems to have been
quite as much as her Majesty could endure in one day.
The annual festival of the National Shimming So-
ciety took place yesterday at the Green Man Tavern, in
Oxford-street.--Sir Robert Peel should take lessons in
swimming of this society, in order that he may be
enabled to keep himself afloat on the troubled waters
into which he has just plunged.
An Irish Orange paper has already made the discovery
that Sir Robert Peel "is no Solomon." We beg our
Contemporary's pardon. The Tam worth Quack is a
Solomon, but—like his famous brother Quack of Liver-
pool—he is a Doctor Solomon !

POTATICAL.
We understand that Sir Edward Sugden is to be the
new Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
Colonel Percival has resigned the office of a Lord of
the Treasury, and accepted that of a Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House of Lords. The new Lord of the Treasury
is to be J. Young, Esq., M.P. for Cavan.
