Newark, Lord W. Lennox, Colonel Evans, Messieurs Currie,

SIR JAMES GRA HA M.—We ilaVe just heard,
on what we conceive to be good authority, that Sir J. Graham
is to go out as Governor-General to India. We do not under.
take to vouch for the correctness of this statement; but the
information comes to us from a quarter not likely to be de.
ceived.—Ca rlisle Journal.

Lord Saltoun was in the chair at the meeting
of the Beefsteak Club on Saturday, when the Ettrick Shep-
herd was specially invited. The Duke of Leinster did not
arrive from Ireland in time to be present, and Lord Brougham
was kept away by the indisposition of his only daughter. The
conviviality of the evening was sustained until a late hour.—
Court Journal.

Sir James Mackintosh, who has voted on
every other stage of the Bill, was in the House on Tuesday, ex-
pecting a division, and was prevented from voting on Friday by
severe indisposition.

Mr. GiEborne has withdrawn his motion for
a Bill to repeal the Small Note Act, and ivstead thereof he has
given notice that on Tuesday, May 15, he will move for a Select
Committee " to consider the state of the currency."

We can state with confidence, that the un-

happy differences between a wealthy Commoner and his lady,
the daughter of a Noble Earl, which, for a length of time,
have engaged the gossip of the fashionable world, are now in
a fair train of mutual arrangement. The jewels, which are
valued at 10,000/., have been returned to the husband.—Court
Journal.

A disunion is said to exist at present in a
Ducal family, in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, between the
fair hostess, and the near relative of her noble husband. The
Duchess had invited certain female branches of the family to ac-
company her to the theatre on the night of a new drama. Ac-
cident occasioned the ladies to be a little behind their time,
so that when they arrived her Grace expressed herself very in.
dignantly.—Court Journal.

A general reduction of public salaries, and in
the salaries of persons connected with the Court, is spoken of,
but the period for commencing it will depend on the fate of
the Reform Bill. The economising mania has attacked all the
European Governments.—Court Journal.

KING'S THEATRE.-On Saturday night
Sporitinis's Opera, La Vestule, was produced at this theatre
and received with much favour. The part of the heroine, Julia,
was played by Madame de Merle, and the Chief Vestal by
Madame Battiste, who made her debut on the occasion, and
sung with much sweetness. The House was well attended.

Laporte will commence the performance of
French Plays at the Haymarket Theatre this evening. The
subscription is for twenty nights, and his partners in this
hitherto successful speculation are the same gentlemen with
whom this enterprising manager associated last year. Laporte,
during his recent visit to Paris, strengthened his dramatic
forces by engaging a more efficient company than ever. The
fascinating Leontine Fay is already here. Scribe's Vaudeville,
La Haine dune Femme, on Le Jeune Homme a Marier—Les
Cuisinieres, and Les Trois Quartiers, will be represented in
the leading characters by artistes quite new to this country.

James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, left Lon-
don for his native hills by the Edinburgh steam-vessel on Satur-
day. This kind hearted and most ingenuous Caledonian was
accompanied as far Woolwich by two coaches filled with friends
whom he has long cherished, and others whom he has created
by his simplicity and unaffected manner since his arrival in the
metropolis, where, in the society of the fashionable world, and
with the patrons of literature, he has been the great Lion of the
day ever since he came amongst us. The Ettrick Shepherd,
has prepared for immediate publication a new edition of his
Tales, to be published periodically, in a cheap but exceedingly
neat form, and illustrated by humourous prints, from the admi-
rable print of Cruikshanks. We understand the first volume,
containing much original matter, is now ready. James Hogg•s
departure was rather sudden, occasioned, we lament to say,
by the indisposition of one of his favourite sons. He has pro
mised to repeat his visit to London in the course of the present
year.

We learn from a correspondent that Mr.
Porteus (after an absence of six years) has been delighting the
audience of the Queen's Theatre, Liverpool, in some of his
principal characters, where he has been so justly celebrated for
many years in that town and in Manchester.

At St. Mark's, Clerkenwell, on the Fast-day,
1201. were collected, after a sermon by the Rev. Thomas Morti.
mer, being 20/. more than the sum subscribed on the same day
at the Aristocrat Church of St. Margaret's, Westminster, after
a sermon preached before the Honourable the Commons of
Great Britain and Ireland.

The letters from Trinidad are of the 7th of
February. The island had been in a state of dreadful excite.
anent ; the slaves had generally refused to work ; at San Fer.
nando there had been great insubordination, and the troops were
sent for ; there had also been several troops sent round to diffe.
rent estates on the coast. Open insurrection was in consequence
prevented, but most of the white people, particularly women and
children, were on hoard ship, in the idea that an explosion would
take place.

We understand that the reserve companies of
the 79th Regiment, at present quartered in the Barracks here,
have got the route for Perth, and that they will be replaced by
the depot of the 712 d Regiment. The first division of the 79th
is to leave this place on Monday first, and the first division of
the 72d is expected here to-morrow se'nnight. The excellent
conduct of the 79th, while they have been quartered in Aber-
deen, has been beyond all praise, and we are certain that their
departure will be very generally regretted by the inhabitants.
A detachment of the 79th, under the command of Lieutenant.
Colonel Macdougal, is to leave Scotland soon, to join the Regi.
ment in Upper Canada.—Aberdeen Observer.
The " German Prince" relates the following
anecdotes :—The Earl of Warwick was remarkable for fits of
absence of mind. lie once travelled up to London in great
haste upon business of importance, which he settled to his
satisfaction the following day, aad returned to Warwick Castle
that night. He had hardly reached home
when hefainhtiesd.LoArdl-1
the family were alarmed, and asked his valet whether his Lord
had been ill in London. "No, (said the valet) he was never
better, but I really believe lie forgot to eat anything since we
left the Castle," This was actually the case ; and
ship was soon restored by a plate of soup. The Duke of Leeds
was remarkably affable with his tenants: one of them came
up to him one day as he was riding, and said he had a great
favour to beg of him. The Duke asked what it was. The
man said his little boy plagued him day and night to let him
see the Duke; and as his Grace was now so near his cottage,
he would perhaps let his son look at him. " Certainly," said
the Duko, good humouredly. The little fellow was brought
out, and gazed with amazement. Encouraged by the Duke to
speak, he asked, "Can you swim, and can you fly ?" " No, my
boy, I can neither swim nor fly." " Then I like father's
drake better, for he can do both,"
