RUMOURS OF THE DAY.

The Marquis of Londonderry will be the-Tory
Ambassador at Paris, where he may teach the Parisians
the art of boxing, and other elegant accomplish-
ments, as he had the reputation, of having heretofore
taught the Viennise. Of course Lord Lyndhurst
cannot have the same appointment, and the rumour that
the Learned Lord is to be sent into exile to please Lord
Stanley is contradicted. ' On the contrary, whatever may
be thought of the Learned Lord by his very pure friends,
he will be Lord Chancellor. Peel, therefore, overrides
and overules Stanley and the Ultras. His man is to be
Lord Chancellor.

It is now said that there is to be no contest for the
Speakership. We do not believe it. The Tories would be
disgraced in the eyes of the world, and in their own
eyes, if the consented to re- elect Mr. Shaw Lefevre.
Such a plan might appear gracious when they suiveloc..l
their majority would not be above 20, and the issue doubt-
ful; but with a majority of 80, it would be scandalous in
them as a party to re-elect Mr. Shaw Lefeyre. Is there
no Tory equal to him ?
A decided check has been given to progressive in-
crease in the population of Ireland, and the average in-
crease throughout the country between 1831 and 1841,
will turn out to be only about 5 per cent. This is attri-
buted to the new system of throwing many small farms
into one, and turning out the poor people, many of whom
die from want and disease.

If we are to believe two correspondents of the
Irish Ecclesiastical Journal, the members of the Presby-
terian Church of Scotland are little better than Turks
and Pagans, and the Presbyterian body cannot
be acknowledged as a Church till the High Churchmen are
prepared to 'admit the same of the Mahometans and the
worshippers of the Lama. Dr. Chalmeri; on learning
that he was, thus treated as a heathen and a barbarian,
after what bad been said, too, bra proud Bishop in the
House of Lords, resolved to disown the " sister
Church," as he sees she is fast verging towards Popery.
It is said that a Sheriff of a. certain Irish county
carried Orangeism to such an extent in the discharge of
his office a the late election, that he wrapped the return
round with orange and blue ribbons, and duly sealed it
with a seal bearing the inscription, " The'Pope in Hell,
and the Devil pelting priests at him."
It is said that Lord and Lady HoWick have ar-
ranged to spend the long period of two years on the con-
tinent. His Lordship's health, it is understood, is un-
satisfactory.

Six Manchester men were fined last week is. each
and costs, before the IligistraWs, for mowing hay on
Sunday. , ,

By the arrival of her Majesty's Packet Crane with a
mail from the West Indies, Papers have been received
from Trinidad to the 22d; Demerara, 23d; Barbadoes,
26th June; and Jamaica 2d July. Their, contents aro
very uninteresting.
At Barbadoes they continued to suffer , from drought,
which had become truly alarming. The occasional
showers that had fallen have given no impulse to vegeta-
tion, ponds dry, and everything looking, scorching suns
and blinding dust. The planters proSpects are indeed
gloomy, and all must expect to suffer, and very se-
verely too.
