By order of the Commissioners,
C. A. SCOVELL, Secretary.
Custom-house, London, June 22, 1832.

The character, habits, and opinions of Lord
BYRON, which have been so much commented on, and,
in general, so little understood, are about to receive new
illustration from a competent source, the elegant and viva-
cious pen of the Coustess of BLESINTON, whose Journal
of her Conversations with his Lordship is to be given to
the public in the pages of the New Monthly Magazine.
The rich flow and animation of Lord BYRON'S oral dis-
course, and the freedom with which he is known to have
discussed the most interesting topics, must excite to no
common extent the expectations founded on such an an-
nouncement as this.

h is, we believe, determined that Lord
GRANVILLE shall continue at Paris as British Minister at
the French Court. Lady GRANVILLE and her daughters,
the Hon. Misses LEVESON GOWER, quitted Devonshire
House on Wednesday, and were expected to arrive at Paris
on Friday evening. A rumour of Lord PALSIERSTON'S
probable acceptance of Lord GRANVILLE'S present ap-
pointment, the latter Noble Viscount obtaining the
Foreign Secretaryship at home, has been circulated, but,
we believe, without sufficient foundation.

Notwithstanding the adjournment of both
Houses yesterday, the Lords' Committees on the 'West
India Colonies and the Tithes of Ireland sat and pursued
their inquiries; as did the following Commons' Commit-
tees—on the Bank Charter, General Registry, Cruelty to
Animals Bill, Commons' Library, Turnpike Trusts (Ire-
land), Sewers Bill, Factories' Regulation Bill, and Rideau
Canal.

It appears from an advertisement of the So-
ciety for the Relief of Persons Imprisoned for Small
Debts, that during the last year it released from prison
2,080 debtors at the charge of 5,2271., being an average
of less than 21. 10s. each, and that since the 2d of last
month it has procured the discharge of 111 debtors, of
whom 93 had wives and children to the number of 301,
fur 324/.

Lord KERRY, we understand, will meet with
no opposition at Caine. Lord ANDOVER, son of the Earl
SUFFOLK, will walk over the ground at Malmesbury.
The Marquis of AYLESBURY will return the two Members
for Marlborough : the Refor►ners, however, intend to
show some resistance. The representation of Devizes is
secured—Mr. H. W. HozsousE has ofr.red for aith.—
Hants Advertiser.

A sharp contest is expected for the county of
Hertford; the two present Members, Sir JOHN SEBRIGHT
and Mr. CALVERT, are unlikely again to become candi-
dates. By the new Bill three Members are given to the
county. Lord Gar.stszoN (eldest son of the Earl of VE.
RULAM) is already in the field : and there are other new
candidates in Mr. ROLAND ASHTON, Mr. HENRY
Groacit WARD, of Gaston Park, and Mr. HALE, of
King's Walden. Mr. BRAND declines nomination until
the present Members have positively declined again sitting.
ART AND ITS PATRONS.—It would be well
if certain patrons of the fine arts would bear in mind that
some of the artists they patronise are not quite so rich as
themselves. One or two Noblemen we could name, who,
when one task has been performed, not unkindly honour
the painter or sculptor with another, and omit all mention
of pay ment till a second or third is complete. The effect
of this is, to distress or ruin the man whose sole fortune is
his talent, and thus give a monopoly of the more costly
performances to men who, already rich, can hold out, and
make those pay " through the nose" in the end, who in
the first instance forget to satisfy reasonable charges.—

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE ABOLITION OF
DUELLING.--111r. PALGaAVE, in his work OD " The
English Commonwealth," animadverts upon the inconsis-
tency of our Courts of Justice in obstinately refusing to
take cognizance of affronts, such as calling a gentleman a
scoundrel, a rogue, giving him the lie, &c. This it is that
has tended, more than any cause whatever, to keep up tht
practice of duelling, so unchristian in its character, and to
perpetuate a state of society in which no other redress than
what the sword can give, is afforded for the most galling
insults. It is a just remark of BENTHAM, that, on this
point, our jurisprudence is eminently faulty, and that it
has not advanced with the spirit of the age. There is
which
lve injuries which affect the interests gentlemen are actuated, as they take
noticeslientlteitndeo ofn tublt,obsye pi
that, if the courts entered into the feelings and
of a trader ; if damages were to be given for scurrilous
and offensive language, as they are now given for what are
c " actionable words ;" it, in short, common law were
more conformable than it is with the rules of common
sense, the practice of duelling, which, in the eye of GOD,
is nothing more or less than the practice of deliberate
marder, would very soon tall into desuetude.
