families, ladies and gentlemen, attended. Mr. Fuck&ig-
ham was also presented with the freedom of the town,

philanthropic labours.—British Banner.
STORY' OF THE PENINSULAR WAR. —The English
public have at length before them whr. has long been a
desideratum—a complete History of oe Peninsular War
in a single volume, farming the irportant precursor to
the " Story of the Battle of W.lerloo,” to which last-
mentioned period its able editor nas brought it down by
the addition of four entirely aew chapters. This
.work
will now claim attention as one of the most faithful
histories of our IreinenMlS struggles and glorious vic-
tories in the Peninau2a, with all their fearful charac-
teristics, wild adventures, and terrific sieges. The pub-
lication is extremely well timed—we needed such a book
as this—says tbo United Service Gazette-7one that
could give to the rising generation a clear notion of the
important events which led to the expulsion of the
French from Spain and Portugal. The present edition,
published at so moderate a cost as to be accessible to all
classes, will, no doubt, become generally popular, and b*
found in every library in the kingdom. It is illustrated
with six portraits and a valuable map.
DA.NIEL OCorizsELL, EsQ.—An absurd rumour has
been circulated for some days with regard to Mr. D.
O'Connell, to the effect that he accepted a consular
appointment to one of the continental states. We are
authorised to give the rumour the most explicit contra-
diction. There is no foundation for the rumour that he
accepted a consulship in Boulogne, in Portugal (the
places named), or in any other place.—Dublin Freeman.
ilt s rumoured in Lincoln's Inn that two of the
Masters in Chancery are about to retire on the super-
annuation allowance, and that their offices are to be con-
ferred on two of the present Queen's ('ounsel ; while
four additions are to be made to that body—Mr. Roun-
dell Palmer, Mr. Malins, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Willeocks, Mr.
Chandless, and Mr. Follett are named as the parties on
whom that distinction is likely to be conferred.
