Lord Canning is appointed to succeed Lord Howard
de Walden as Ambassador at Lisbon.

We have heard on good authority that Mr. Beckett
Denison received an assurance from the Premier that
his intended measures will not be repulsive to the
agricultural interest, before he undertook to second
the Address. Mr. Denison is a Member of the
Council of the Central Society for the Protection of
Agriculture.

MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS,

The rumour is revived that Lord Lyndhurst is
about to resign the Great Seal, for reasons uncon-
nected with Ministerial policy.
It has been strongly rumoured in Westminster Hall
that Mr. Pemberton Leigh has resisted most earnest
solicitations from the Premier and the Duke of Wel-
lington to succeed to the Woolsack ; and that, in con-
sequence, the following arrangements are contem-
plated :
Sir Edward Sugden to be Lord Chancellor ;
Sir F. Thesiger, Lord Chancellor of Ireland ; and
Mr. James Wortley to be the new Solicitor-
General, the present Solicitor- General becoming, of
course, Attorney-General. Let the electors of Cam-.
bridge be on the look- out.

LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS'
Associxriore.—The annual ball was held at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, Strand, in aid of the funds of the above-
named institution, on Tuesday night. Amongst the company
present we noticed Messrs. Binmere, Conneybear, Humphries,
Kirton, Brock, Collins, and several other leading members of
the trade. The whole suit of rooms was lighted up and
thrown open on the occasion, and the ball was opened by Master
Binmere, son of the president, and Miss Winfield, assisted
by Master Conneybear, about nine o'clock, and dancing was
kept up with great spirit until one, when the company par-
took of a substantial supper, laid out in the best style of the
establishment; after which the company again assembled,
and dancing was continued until five. It must have been
very gratifying to the members who took an active part in
the arrangements of the evening, to witness so much har-
mony and such a numerous and elegantly-attired company
present. The ladies seemed to vie with each other in conducing
to the pleasures of the evening. There was at one time no
less than four hundred persons present. The whole arrange-
ments were of the most liberal description, and reflect great
credit on the committee. The band was under the direction
of Mr. Coulson ; and Mr. Mott, of Drury-lane, officiated as
master of the ceremonies.

We have very much pleasure in confirming a ru-
mour which was current yesterday, to the.,. effect that the
Hon. G. A. Smythe has been appointed tinder Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Lord Canning, who
has been for sonic time anxious to retire from the onerous
duties of an office which he has filled with much ability and
most exemplary attention. Mr. Smythe will now have an
excellent opportunity of obtaining aninsight into public
business, and we trust that the applause which his brilliant
success in Parliament has excited will not induce him to
neglect those less showy acquisitionswithout which no Minis-
ter can in these days hope to succeed in obtaining the confi-
dence of the public.—Times.

GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, JAN. 13.—The late
advance on this article seems, for the present, to have at-
tained its height. These two or three days past large trans-
a-Aions have taken place at 85s. at four months. To-day the
above was not obtained ; we heard of several parcels offering
at 835., and another parcel of 1,000 tons at 80s., which we
are not aware met purchasers. We quote the prices as 80s.,
and dull market.—Glasgow National.
