OFFICIAL RESIGNATIONS.

'We believe we may venture to state that the Marquis of
Exeter has resigned his appointment as Groom of the Stole to
his Royal Highness the Prince Field-Marshal.
The speech of the Earl of Ilardwicke, in the House of
Lords, on Thursday evening, is understood to have made his
Lordship's resignation, as a Lord of the Bedchamber, a mat-
ter of official necessity.
The names of two other Noble Lords, holding important
offices in the Royal Household, are currently mentioned as
about to retire, and we believe on very good grounds; but, as
the fact will provably transpire in a day or two, we think it
best to await the formal announcement.
In short, the " Peel-rot" is making such rapid progress, that
almost every man connected with the Government is spoken
of in turn ss about to swell the number of seceders. Even
that most unlikely person of all others to throw up office,
Mr. Forbes Mackenzie—the Lord of the Treasury with a
convenient conscience—has been suspected of an intention to
' retire.
These various rumours may be more or less founded in fact ;
but of one point we believe there is not the slightest doubt
amongst those who know anything of the state of parties—
the Administration of Sir Robert Peel cannot last. —Post.
