Ant.—On the morning of Friday last at publics
breakfast was given to J. S. Buckingham, Esq., in this
town, at which a large number of the most respectable
families, ladies and gentlemen, attended. Mr. Bucking-
ham was also presented with the freedom of the town,
as a mark of the value set by them on his literary and
philanthropic labours.—British Banner.
STORY OF THE PENINSULAR WAR.—The English
public have at length before them what has long been a
desideratum—a complete History of the Peninsular War
in a single volume, forming the important precursor to
the " Story of the Battle of Waterloo," to which last•
mentioned period its able editor has brought it down by
the addition of four entirely new chapters. This work
will now claim attention as one of the most faithful
histories of our tremendous struggles and glorious vie.
tories in the Peninsula, with all their fearful chant°•
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--one 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 coat as to be accessible to all
classes, will, no doubt, become generally popular, and be
found in every library in the kingdom. It is illustrated
with six portraits and a valuable map.
DANIEL O'Connux, ESQ.—An absurd rumour ha*
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 centre-
suction. There is no foundation for the rums at he
accepted a consulship in Boulogne, in Por (the
places named), or in any other place.—Dublin wean.
It is 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 tilxi con-
ferred on two of the present Queen's Counsel ; while,
four additions are to be made to that body—Mr. Boun-
den Palmer, Mr. Manus, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Willcocks, Mr.
Chandless, and Mr. Follett are named as the parties ort
whom that distinction is likely to be conferred.
