Man-of modern date can turn the parable of the unjust
ard to better account than Sir Robert Peel. His cotices-
-inns on
den the Corporation Reform Bill are notable proofs of the
Inn entY with which he makes to himself friends of the Mam-
ft-ty)f Unrighteousness, to serve him in his hour of need.
be as whispered that his trimming (ore tenus though it
), has exposed him to the censure of the out-and-outers.
::ereltyters are in Ireland to that effect from some of the gossips.
Ithout the Court. The writers are described as inveighing bit-
a.gainst the want of nerve, or of principle, which has cha-
racterized the conduct of the Ex-Premier. These effusions
do. not proceed only from such political madcaps as Lord
winchilsea ; but some of them are shown about as the auto-
graphs of a stupid old Baron lately holding a distinguished
PIK in the commonwealth of letters, whose opinions may be
thought entitled to consideration by reason of his near connec-
tion with the fiery Duke.
A statement made by the Duke of Cumberland, at the late
ei fleeting cti ng
for clearing his character, (how strange that he would
condescend to clear it before a Committee of the House
Commons),
has created some little astonishment here. His
R°Yal Highness, upon the alleged authority of Mr. Boyton, as-
serted, that there has not been an Orange Lodge in the Uni-
versitY for the last six-and-twenty years !! 1 His Royal
Highness has made many courageous assertions during this
Session of Parliament ; but this is the apex of the Pyramid.
It flames above them all—whether it belongs to Boyton, or a
more illustrious inventor, it deserves the largest gold medal of
the Humane Society. As a chivalrous attempt to bring up a
scahodryceyallready plunged over head and ears in the mud, it has
its parallel.
_ Apropos des Bottes—Mr. Randal Plunkett, the changeling
for Drogheda, made a boastful reference at that meeting to his
Pure and high descent. It is the second time this high and
mighty patrician has been at the pains of making, a public ab-
juration of all relation or affinity to the Lord Chancellor of
reland. If he knew but all—it is quite a superfluous labour—
fo r scarcelyany man could suspect the like of him to be so
Jointed. The Doonsawney, or, as they now spell themselves,
the Dunsany, branch of the Plonhets are as old as the Danes.
'They came in with those robbers ; " whereof," saith the quaint old
Qhronicler Campian_" they have as yet special monuments."
They are, moreover, a pure Popish stock, the present Lord
(Mr. Randal's father), being the first of the breed that ever
,aid the Paternoster in English. His predecessor kept a Con-
fessors, and bado the beads, flat on his marrowbones before
ti,e graven images of the Saints, while the father of Lord
Pitinkett was protesting against all that trumpery from the
Pulp:t of the Presbyterian Meeting House on Usher's-quay.
The iloonsawneys are marvellously converted in the latter
daYs--lant " naturam expelles, 6,c." Tis a doubt whether
they have jet expelled all the Jacobite blood out of their veins.
Air. Randal P's. horror indeed, at the possibility of being sup-
Posed in any way akin to such a radical nest asthat of Old Con-
naught, would seem to indicate that his own house has been
swept clean, and is all sound, root, branch and collaterals. If I
am not grievously in error however, the Right Hon. and
Learned Doctor, who represents the College without a Lodge,
" could, an if he would." Ohe Jam !
_ I have not the pleasure of being much acquainted with Lord
Plunkett's. family ; but I know enough of them to be able to
vouch that there are none of them Carbonari, nor have any
of
them been driven from the seats of learning for playing at
the gamo of " poison in jest."

The Siamese youths, who were here some years
since, are at Montreal, having attained the age of 18.
