- - A Cabinet Council is summoned to meet on
Thursday the 11th, when, it is understood, the time of
dissolving Parliament will be fixed. The Ministers, it is
expected, will be all in town on Monday next.
The haste with which the remains of Sir
WALTER SCOTT were committed to the grave has been a
cause of great disappointment to many. Hardly any per-
son supposed that it would take place before a week at
least after his death, while only four intervening days were
allowed. But for this a vast number of the inhabitants of
Edinburgh would have flocked to pay the last tribute of
respect to his remains. As it was there were only two
Peers present, and very few persons at all from the capital.
The Earls of HAnniNoToN and ROSEBERRY, as well as
several other Peers, were at Edinburgh, or the neighbour-
hood, and would most probably have attended, had due no-
tice been given. Whig and Tory vie in paying respect,
not only to his genius, but to his unblemished character,
and his unbounded goodness of heart. At the prepa-
ratory meeting for erecting a monument, if there was
any difference, the Whig party was most numerous;
and, though he was an ardent anti-reformer and Tory,
he numbered among his best friends some of the oppo-
site party. It is not known when the general meeting
will take place. Thursday was proposed, but that day is
thought too early, and probably some day next week will
he fixed on, in order to let as many as possible be pre-
sent. There is a general wish that two of the chief No-
blemen in the south should take the lead on the occasion,
and it is probable that the first resolution will be moved
by the Duke of HAMILTON, and seconded by the Duke of
BuccL.Euoir. The LORD ADVOCATE, who has reviewed
so many of his works, is expected to make the grand funeral
oration. I understand that, chiefly through Sir WALTER
SCOTT'S own exertions, funds will be forthcoming for pay-
ing all his private debts. His creditors insured his life to
a large amount, and they received from him the proceeds
of his late literary productions to make up the sum. A
friend, some time ago, advised him to come to a final com
position with his creditors, who would have agreed to any
proposal from him. " No," was the answer ; " while
this right hand can write it shall do its best to pay off my
debts." There is little doubt of sufficient funds being
raised to erect a monument worthy of his memory in that
city which he has so much benefitted by his writings, and
which he fondly called his " own romantic town."—
