The Duke of Wellington entered Brighton OP
Monday, when coming to attend the Council, in the most 101;
ostentatious manner. His Grace was in an open landau and
pair, without the attendance of even a single footman; an
when the sentry at the Palace gates, who recognised him,
about to present arms to his Grace as Colonel of the Guards'
the Duke stoppo him by a motion of the hand. His Grace,
at his departure, yolked to the confines of the town on the
London Road, before he entered his carriage.—Brigho
Gazette.

ness of Mr. Wilmer, we have been favoured with a copy °
The Sun of yesterday, received by his express this afternoon,

- We notice, merely to discountenance, an absti.rd re-
port that Lord Londonderry has been, or is to be, named A-11/-
bassador to St. Petersburgh. The rumour is a sorry joke,'
Times. —Our contemporary has taken-a long time to discoeli:.
tenance this " sorry joke." It is now nearly a fortnight sincv,„
it was set afloat, and surely a " sorry joke" scarcely need
refutation at the end of ten days. But the truth is, the idea
of the Noble Marquis being appointed Ambassador to the
Court of St. Petersburgh, is one of the best jokes we et%
heard of. Had Grimaldi been said to be appointed to Oa
embassy, it could not have richer I

Sir Thomas Troubridge has' not withdrawn front
Sandwich, and he is certain of being returned.
THE EARL OF LONSDALE.—We learn from the
Cumberland Pacquet, that Monday last, the day on which the
venerable Earl of Lonsdale completed his 77th year, was ob-
served with the greatest enthusiasm in different parts of COI,:
berland and Westmorland. There were two public dinner'
given at Whitehaven, one at Hensingham, one at Maryport!
one at Wigton, one at Carlisle, two at Penrith (where thell
was formerly only one), one at Appleby, and one (for the firs
time) at Kendal. A new steam-boat was also launched by the
Whitehaven Steam Navigation Company, and named after the
Noble Earl, the warmest and most affectionate respect for
whose character was the universal feeling throughout the daY.
When Lord Waterpark was canvassing a few daYl
since at Brassington, he was about to solicit the suffrage
Mr. Slack (a well-known supporter of the Conservative cause),
which being perceived by one of his friends, he said, " Y°,ll„
have no occasion, my Lord, to trouble yourself about him, "`
is Mr. Slack." Upon which the candidate observed, " Then
I hope he will be slack at the time of polling." The reply
was, " Not quite so slack as you, my Lord, have been in your
Parliamentary duties."—Derbyshire Courier.
A superb piece of plate, of large dimensions and
exquisite workmanship, executed by Messrs. Bridge and Run"
dell, is about to be presented by a numerous body of persons'
who are members of the British College of Health, to Mr.
Webb, of the city of York, to commemorate his liberation
from prison. The plate consists of an epergne, resting upon
an elegant silver waiter, bearing an appropriate 'inscription
descriptive of the sentiments of the donors.
DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. The die j 5
cast—the Rubicon is crossed. Lord Wellington, with all the
guilt and but little of the glory of Csar, has taken the de-
cisive step ; and in a few weeks he, and his cat's-paw Cabinet'
will have the means of trampling upon the liberties of 11
countr:- and the world, or be utterly annihilated, as a politica
faction, for ever. On the 19th of February the returns to tbe
writs must all be made up, and in a few days afterwards the
,
new House of Commons will be called to say whether the. 7
will have the Tories to rule over the people, or not.—Line
Gazette, a new paper, published this day.
