Is a diary with a page to each day, where our hours are literally
numbered. The compiler contemplates that the busy world rises at

MINISTERIAL RUMOURS.— Among the rumours
rife in the political circles is that the Earl of Dalhousie is to
have a seat in the Cabinet, and that the Earl of Ellenborough
is likely to again enter the Government with a seat in the
Cabinet. It is circulated that either the Earl of St. Ger-
mans or the Earl of Ellenborough will succeed Lord Wharn-
dare as Lord President of the Council. As to the reported
intention of the Earl of Haddington to resign, as First Lord
of the Admiralty, it is said that the Noble Earl certainly
purposed to give up office, without any reference to political
considerations, his retirement being induced by his somewhat
indifferent health, which was likely to preclude him from
taking such an active share in the duties of his office. For the
present, however, the Noble Earl will continue as First Lord.
There is a rumour that he will probably succeed Lord Wham-
diffe, Lord Stanley had intended to have left St. James's-
square this morning, to join Lady Stanley at Knowsley Park,
the Earl of Derby's seat in Lancashire, from whence the
Noble Lard and Lady intended to go on a visit to Lord and
Hell, but his Lordship
Lady Francis Egerton at Worstey
has abandoned all those arrangements, and will continue in
town.

THE RE-OPENING OF ST. MARGARET'S CHURCH.
