lie Duke of Sussex will leave Runton Abbey,
the sporting seat of the Earl of Lichfield, on Frid iy, for
Kinmell Park, the seat of Lord Dinorben, near St. Asaph,
and will remain in Wales, it is understood, until the end
of the month, and consequently he will not be present at
any of the Christmas festivities at the Royal Pavilion,
Brighton, as the sea air does not agree with his Royal
Highness.
The Duke of Gordon is enjoying the sports
of the field at Pitfour, in Aberdeenshire, the hospitable seat
of his friend Captain Fere,uson, M.P. His Grace had
invited his sister, the Duchess Dowager of Richmond,
and her daughter, Lady Sophia Lennox, to pass the
winter months at Gordon Castle, and her Grace proceeded
to the metropolis from the residence of Lady Jane Peel, at
Kemp Town, on her way to Scotland, but the Duchess
felt herself unable to sustain the fatigue of so distant a
journey at this inclement season, and returned to Brighton.
His Grace the Duke of Devonshire is likely
to become the purchaser of the manor, estates, ke., of
Teversall, which have been for a series of years the property
of the Mo'ineux family, but now in the possession of the
Earl of Carnarvon. It adjoins the extensive domains of
his Grace at Hardwick, Derbyshire.—Macclesfield Courier.
Sir George and Lady Louisa Murray have
have arrived at their residence in Belgrave•square, from
the North. The gallant General had a long interview
with Sir Robert Peel, at the residence of the Right Hon.
Bart., in Privy gardens.
Mr. Alderman Thompson, in consequence of
the imputation thrown out against him by the under-
writers at Lloyd's, through his connection with the
Insurance Society at Sunderland, has resigned his office as
chairman of the former institution. The worthy Al-
derman has desired us, on his part, distinctly to disclaim
the charge of having secretly allied himself with the
Sunderland Society, which was repeatedly advertised in
the Sunderland and Newcastle papers, and could not
therefore be unknown to the subscribers to Lloyd's.
He also denies that the society in question could by
possibility interfere, by its operations, with their interests.
The instant that he ascertained the feeling that existed
against him, he lost no time in determining what course
he should take. The letter containing Mr. Alderman
Thompson's resignation was addressed to the committee
on Tuesday, but it did not transpire till yesterday morning.
It will be laid before the general meeting of the sub-
scribers which is to take place on Wednesday next, toge-
ther with the reply of the committee, in which they de-
clare their acceptance, but much regret the occasion, of
his resignation.—Tunes.
Yesterday was the day for shutting the books
far the dividend in Consols, and it led to the transaction
of business to a considerable extent by parties anxious
either to be in stock for the dividend, or, on the other
hand, to keep their money at their own disposal. Some
fluctuations occurred in the course of the day, but they
did not, on the whole, exceed / per cent. Consols f,r
the Account left off at BSi to Exchequer Bills have
advanced, and left off at 41s. to 425. premium, which is
ascribed to some decision having been taken at the Bank
as to the rate at which the accommodations usual at this
period are to be aff,rded to the monied interest, and which
is believed to he not higher than was charged last ear,—
i. e., 3 per cent. No public announcement has, how-
ever, yet been mad, on the subject. Times.

DUBLIN, DEC. 3.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
No event of public interest having occurred here ate°
my last letter on the Libel prosecution of an accov",:cl
after the fact, hear what rumour says of matters ofb'
affect the future stite of this country. It is admitted 0,10
the welfare or misery of this country must depend OPl'l,
Government. If she has been hitherto proviaoll
wretched, it is because she has heen badly managed b:,
those in high and influential stations ; and if she be
tined, at any future period, to emerge from the state
ri
wretchedness and degradation to which licensed discol
and faction have condemned her, it must be throOt
reform in the conduct of her rulers. Everything indieri
tive of a change in that conduct, should be hailed /tlt
delight by those anxious for the tranquillity and hapPirl
of this portion of the United Kingdom. Under this 01;
pression I give you an account of reports that have be
afloat for some days past in this city. In the first PI,
it is alleged that Government have the courage to atte°'
•
to manage matters here independently and despite of
factions that have hitherto controlled their actions. „
proof of this, I have heard it mentioned, by a person r:
ought to be well informed on the subject, that an indieei
dual holding a prominent public situation is to be Yell
shortly superseded in his office. The close of the
moval is said to be no want of capacity or integrity, ot!'
than what may be supposed to exist in an avowed par;
sanship on the part of the present occupant, while a toff
freedom from, nay, an utter disregard of, sectarian polifl°
mat ka the character of a talented Irish Member of Parli.e
meat who is to succeed hint. Should this change tat.°
place, it will he not only a good earnest of cleansing tue,
Augean stable, by a Whig Administration, but the greater
blow that ever was aimed at all the enemies of Ireland!
for they do not belong exclusively to any colour or ere'
amongst us. It is the imperative duty of Government °
deal it out fo t".with, if they would save the country from
that desolating anarchy which has been her certain
inheritance for centuries. The following changes are ale
spoken of, and may be particularised with less reserve'
though the on dits respecting them are not so well anther
ticated as the former. The present Attorney-Gel:led'
Mr. Blackburn,., is to become, as is said, one of the poistol
judges of Common Pleas , Mr. Crampton, "the Solicitor'
General, taking his place, and Sergeant Perrin, prime
disciplinarian of corporate abuses, being made Solicitor'
General. Mr. Richards and Mr. Ball, both eminent
equity practitioners, are mentioned as candidates for the
vacant Sergeantcy, should the other changes be effected'
The latter gentleman is a Roman Catholic of moderate
politics, and less ambitious of notoriety than many of bii;
religious persuasion, who would, therefore, be as ire'
pleased to see Mr. Richards promoted as him ; for, Yet:
must know that we contend the Athenian law
neutrality, supposed to have been introduced by Solo°,
was but the transcript of an old code, proved to be Hiber
nian ! ! Mr. Bag, in fact, is suspected of being a TorY'
Such a man, however, ought to be regarded by a reforol
tng Ministry, were it only to encourage into activity*
large and influential class of persons of similar politics,
a counterbalance to their repealing neighbours. Thin
question of Repeal is gaining ground among the multitude
and least considerate of the people ; and it is likely'
when other subjects of agitation fail to sustain St°
national character of dissension and pugnacity, 1)1
raising up new factions. It is now well knovv*l
that the Orangemen of Ireland intend demandiogt
next Session, that Parliament shall be occasionally held l*
Dublin, and, if their proposition be rejected, they are ti
join in the Repeal agitation. This they do, however,
from no spirit of nationality, or brotherly love towards
their countrymen, but as a last effort to regain their
ascendancy. They say, " that the lauded property of the
country is still for the most part in the hands of PO;
testants, and if we had a domestic Parliament it wool'
have due influence; the old corruptions would reviv.
notwithstanding Reform, and, under their fostering pro'
section, we shall be reinstated in our former monopolt 0
and dominion."

Scotland elected as its officers, the King, patron ; the
Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale, grand master mason ;
Earl Buchan, Sir John Hay, Sir David Baird, Ronald
Macdon,ld of Staffa, &c., the other grand officers. The
dinner at the Waterloo Hotel in the evening was of the
most sumptuous description; the Marquis of Douglas pre-
siding over about 200 of his brethren. The spectacle of
a Masonic dinner has not occurred in Edinburgh for some
years,.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—Captain Ross, R•1%1.,
the intrepid Northern navigator, is staying here, on a visit
to the Vice-Admiral of England, Lord de Saumarex, at
Clarence Villa. We understand these two distinguished
individuals were formerly shipmates ; and without doubt
the Captain must now prove a very interesting visitor to
his Lordship. Captain R. amuses himself daily with long
walks in and about our romantic and extensive village:
and although apparently very hearty and robust, his portly
person and intelligent countenance bear evident msrks of
having recently encountered some very hard service.--'
