from the writer in his estimate of Lord

proportion that he speaks the truth (com-

opinion drawn up with much Piquancy. The
definition of a Tory is hit off to the life we
pity a man for being a Tory in these times. He
is a poor creature that the march of events has
left behind ; a duck-legged drummer-boy who
cannot keep up with his regiment. He is a
being of a by-gone age, singing an old song_

cob-webs ; he is the preter-pluperfect tense of
politics, an extract from the lumber-room,

We observe in a French Paper the following article, to which
at present we do not give credit, there being no date :
" News has been received that the squadron of Don Pedro has
arrived at Madeira, from whence it is to proceed to Portugal.
The army of Don Pedro is composed of 7,000 or 8,000 men, and
that of I)on Miguel is from 12,000 to 15,000 regular troops, of
which 2,000 or 3,000 are Spanish deserters.
THE FUNDS.

Numerous paragraphs have been going the
round of the Press, explanatory of the Duke of Cumberland's
resolution to retire from public life. The fact is, that his Grace,
when he took this resolution, fully explained his motives to
Lord Eldon and Colonel Sibthorp:_" My Lord," said his
Grace, " dry your tears—weep not for me—for I am resolved to
retire upon my allowance, and upon the reflections of a well-
spent life. As Ifind that the country cares nothingfor me, I
am resolved to show the world That I care nothing for the
country." Colonel Sibthorp communicated this in confidence
to Sir Charles Wetherell, who has kindly sent the intelligence
to the different newspapers.
Several very extensive sales of Landed Property
have recently been made by Mr. Simpson, of Bucklersbury, as
will be seen by a reference to our list of advertisements. The
Crowland Estate, the property of Orby Hunter, Esq. is, we
believe, one of the most important in the kingdom; the rent
roll considerably exceeds 12,0001. per annum. The tenants arc
wealthy, and highly respectable, and the lanai of the finest qua-
lity. Several eminent capitalists have been for some time in
treaty for the purchase, but the offer made a few days since by
the Marquis of Exeter, has been accepted. The Noble Marquis
