The Right Hon. M. A. TAYLOR, and Mrs.
TAYLOR are residing in apartments at the Star and
Garter, on Richmond-bill, being unable, owing to the
precarious state of Mrs. TAYLOR'S health, to reach their
delightful seat in the county of Durham.
It is settled that the Duke of ARGYLE is to
be appointed Lord High Steward in the place of the
Marquis of WELLESLEY, who, ai our readers are already
aware, succeeds the Marquis of ANOLESEA as Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA has gone from
Beaudesert to Dublin to instal'the Marquis of WELLESLEY
as the new Viceroy. We are sorry to find that, to preserve
the general health of the Noble Marquis, it is deemed
necessary that he should visit the Continent. Nothing but
a sense of public duty has kept him so long in Ireland.
IRISH VICEROY.—The Marquis of Wel-
lesley is expected to reach Dublin about the 18th instant,
as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In consequence of this
arrangement the Duke of Argyle has been appointed
Comptroller of his Majesty's Household, in the room of
the noble Marquis, whose re-appointment to the Viceroy-
ship will be ill received by the Orangemen of Ireland,
because during his former government in that country, he
chewed the most marked aversion to lyirty processions of
any sort, as always leading to disturbance, mischief, and
bloods'ied. Mr. Littleton, the new Irish Secretary; is

son-in-law to the noble Marquis, and as their polities will
perfectly harmonize, there is rea.on to anticipate that the
administration of affairs in Ireland will give satisfaction,
and be productive of much good. The Marquis is in his
73d year, having been born June the 20th, 1760.

Colonel HAWKER says he has tried vaccina-
tion since 1822 with his dogs ; and so little, if any, has
been the effect of dist Inper after it that he has not lost a
dog since the year 1816.
The Hon. GEORGE LAMB entertained a
large party to dinner, at his residence in Whitehall-yard,
on Saturday evening. Among the company were Lords
FIFE, and SAY and SELF, Sir GEORGE SHEA, Sir Ro •
NALD FERGUSON, the Hon. C. ASHBURNHAM, Messrs.
GREVILLE, HARWOOD, SEB RIGHT, HENRY LYTTON
BULWER, M.P., &c. SO.

Cards were on Monday issued, by command of
their MAJESTIES, for grand state dinner parties at Wind-
sor Castle, to meet the young Queen of PORTUGAL and
Duchess of BRAGANZA. The Cabinet Ministers now in
town or its vicinity, the Foreign Ambassadors and their
Ladies, &c., are invited.

The arrival of Mr. Poulett Thomson in the
French capital to complete the long talked of treaty of
commerce between The two countries, at a time when the
French Minister of Commerce has arrived here, is con-
sidered by many persons as a strange way of " making
matters meet." It is now said that Mr. Thomson remains
inactive until the return of Lord Crony!lle, who is ex•
petted from the Baths about the 18th or 20th inst.

Baron and Baroness de Cetto have proceeded
to Calais, on their route to Vienna, where the Baron will
assume the duties of Bavarian Minister to the Austrian
Court.

His Grace the Duke of Buckingham last
week sent a liberal supply of venison to the Aldermen of
Winchester, in testimony of past favours.

General Nesbitt, Count Pordale and Lady,
were among the passengers by the Earl of Liverpool from
Ostend.

THE DICK BEQUEST.—The Lord Chan-
chancellor has confirmed the decision of the Court of
Session, and the money vAted in heritable securities will
be added to the general funds for the benefit of the school.
masters. The securities amount to 33,0001.

NATIONAL GALLERY.—Mr. Wilkins, the
architezA of this projected edifice, proceeded to lay out the
ground on Monday, on the sire of the King's Mews,
Cbaring Cross. The excavations for the foundation will
he commenced immediately ; and it is expected that in less
than a month the ceremony of laying the first stone, which
his Majesty has graciously undertaken to perform, will take
place. The model will be presented to the King's
inspection this day.

The Duke de Montfort (Jerome Bonaparte),
and his Duchess, who is sister of the King of Wurtem-
berg, are expected at Stuttgardt, where apartments have
been prepared for them i❑ the King's palace.

Yesterday Prince and Princess Soltikoff,
Count Ferzan, M. Loinonosoff, &c., proceeded to view
the Bank of England, the Tower, &c., and afterwards
proceeded to Greenwich to view the Hospital, the pen-
sioners at dinner, ficc. After partaking of a cold collation
at the Crown and Sceptre, the party returned to Mivart's
Hotel.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—We perceive that
that very popular piece, Mazeppa, has been withdrawn
in order to make room for a piec? founded on the well
known tale of Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp—a
piece which has been got up with great splendour; indeed
the tale itself conveys to the mind scenes of great magnifi-
cence, and Ducaow has not failed to give to the fairy
land a " local habitation" worthy of it. Of the horse-
manship, and the rest of the performances it were super-
fluous to speak, except to assure the public that the spirit
which usually characterises the management of this
highly amusing theatre is by no means relaxed.

The Gazette de France has the following,
dated Rome, August 22 :—" The Pope would not allow
the Duchess of Berry to miiutain her incognita, but re-
ceived her in State with all the Sacred College. The
Princess de Beauffremont has had an audience of his Holi-
ness. It is expected that her Royal Highness will meet
the Viscount de Chateaubriand at Venice."

Private letters from Russia state that the cho-
lera has again broken out in Russia, and particularly in
the Governments of Sirdton and Woronesh, and at Orel,
and other places in the neighbourhood of Moscow.

According to a letter from Madrid, the cho.
lera is not confined to Huelva, but has broken out at Se-
ville. The news is said to have excited much alarm at
the Palace. A Board of Health was immediately convoked,
and the KING recommended to quit Madrid with his fa-
mily, and retire to Saragossa or Barcelona.
An order has been issued by the Lords Com-
missioner@ of the Admiralty, directing that midshipmen,
who have passed for lieutenants one complete year, shall
be eligible to fill the ratings reserved in each ship accord-
ing to their circular of Jinuary 10, 1833. This is a
relaxation of the rule previously laid down, which required,
as an indispensable qualification, that applicants should
have passed prior to the year 1820, to enable them to he
so borne.—Portsmouth Herald.

NEW CoNtmissios.—We understand that
Lord Lieutenant of this county has decided on placing
several gentlemen, from whom that honour has, doubtless
for wi.e reasons, been hitherto withheld, on the commis-
sion of the peace. We have heard several names men-
tioned, but cannot speak with confidence of any but Win.
Wyebergh, of Isel Hall, Esq., and Joseph Burrow, of
Carlton Hall, Esq.— Whitehavot Herald.

The Brighton Guardian contains a report
of the speeches at a public dinner given on Tuesday to the
Members for that borough, Messrs. WIONEY and G.
FAITHFULL, when those gentlemen rendered an account
of their proceedings in Parliament, which appeared to give
general satisfaction. The dinner was given in the Royal
Gardens, and not less than 600 partook of it.
THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY.—The Mar-
quis was born in the year 1760. He succeeded his father
the late E irl of Mornington, in 1784. Hi; Lordship,
before he was made a Peer of the Realm, was elected one
of the representatives of Windsor, of which place he soon
after became High Steward. In the year 1795 his Lord-
ship was appointed Governor-General of India. Th:,
country at that time was in a state of agitation, and,
added to other circumstances of difficulty, Tipp° Saib,
the Sultan of Mysore, whom Lord Conwallis had thought
to have been entirely subdued, took advantage of the war
in Europe to rise from his slumbers. He was, however,
opposed by Lord Moinington, who having issued orders
for the army of India to advance against Seringapatam,
the city was carried by assault, and the Sultan was
among the slain. No sooner was the intelligence received
by the British Cabinet and Court, than a patent passed
the Great Seal, creating the Earl of 51ornington Marquis
Wellesley, and, in addition to his armorial bearings,
grunted that his Lordship should add the standard of
Tippoo Saib to the supporters and crest of his Lordship's
arms. On his Lordship's return from India be soon re-
sumed his place in the House of Lords, and during the
Peninsular war was a frequent and eloquent speaker. In
1809 he was sent to supersede Mr. Frere as Ambassador
to Spain. The Marquis subsequently became Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, and was succeeded in Spain
by his brother, Sir Henry Wellesley. In 1822 his Lord-
ship accepted the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, an office
which has again been conferred upon him. His Lordship
has been twice married, first to Mademoiselle Gabrielle
Rolland, and some time after her decease to Mrs. Pat-
terson, the beautiful widow of the late J. Patterson,

SUICIDE OF MR. WOOD, STATIONER,
LEATHER-Latin.—Yesterday morning, Air. John Barlow
Wood, upwards of 30 years a most respectable stationer,
at 2.4, Leather.lane, Holborn, put a period to his existence
by hanging himself in his own kitchen. The discovery
of the Fuel incholy event was made by his daughter, Miss
Wood, who on entering the apartment was horror struck
at beholding the body of her unfortunate father suspended
by a clothes line from a hook affixed to the ceiling. She
immediately cut him down and alarmed a neighbour, who
sent for Mr. Holloway, a surgeon, residing near the spot,
but on the arrival of that gentleman, he pronounced that
life
was completely extinct, and had been so in his
opinion for at least an hour. The deceased, who was in
his 56th year, had in the early part of the morning
attended to his business as usual, and not any part of his
conduct or manners was such as to cause among his family
the slightest apprehension or alarm. Mr. Wood for some
time past had been occasionally low spirited, though not
from bad circumstances, and during his long residence in
he neighbourhood had acquired much esteem and respect.
