Prince POLIQNAC'S alarming state was pro-

quently called him.

the Marquis ; the Noble Lord wishing to keep the house
over this season, and the Royal Duke wishing to take pos-

The Princess LIEVEN has demi-officially an-
' nounced her intention of leaving England at an early
period, never to return; her Highness, whose political
information and sagacity are considered extraordinary, is
supposed to be influenced in her determination by an im-
practicability, which has latterly been experienced in a
quarter from
which other sentiments were confidently ex-
pected. It is even whispered that in some recent discus-
sinus a tone of acrimony, and something very nearly ap-
proaching to menace, escaped the fair diplomatist, with-
out, however, producing any visible change in the person
to whom they were addressed—this sang-froid was taken
extremely ill.—Morning Chronicle.

LADY AGNES BYNG.--An action for slander

young lady has been traced. We understand that the
letter witten by Mr. CALLAGHAN to a brother Bruns-
wicker, which contains the calumny, will be produce 1 at
the trial. The writ has already issued.— Observer.

DUBLIN, APRIL 29.—With respect to the
slander which was circulated against Lady AGNES ByNo,
a ♦ery curious interview has taken place between one of
those persons from whom it first originated, and Admiral
Sir CHARLES PAGET. By some means or other the family
of the Marquis of ANGLESEA learned that the slander had
been first circulated by means of a letter written by Mr.
G-- G—, of Cork, to a Mr. S— B---, a gen-
tleman possessed of a large fortune, and having estates in
the county of Tipperary.—Admiral PAGET called, a few
days since on Mr. S--- B---, and demanded from him
the letter that had been written by Mr. G— C—.
Mr. B. said that he did not think he could in honour give
it up. " Very well, Sir," observed Admiral PAGET;
44 if you retain that letter, the members of my family
may, if they choose, go to law with you ; but by
there is not a public place where I shall meet you that I
will not horsewhip you !" This threat had the desired
effect, and thus the letter was procured, which will he
one of the grounds of prosecution against Mr.
Morning Paper.

We are happy to learn that Mr. KEAN is
rapidly recovering, and is so far improved in health as to be
able to resume his professional duties on Monday next.—
Dublin Register, April 30.

At Pontefract Sessions, on Monday, about
noon, the Hon. EDWARD ROBERT PETRE, of Stapleton
Park, took the oath prescribed by the Catholic Relief Bill,
to enable him to act as a Magistrate for the West Riding.
The bench, considering the early period of the Sessions,
Svgs uncommonly crowded, many Magistrates having at-
tended out of compliment to Mr. PETRE. When the

ceremony was concluded, this gentleman received the warn
congratulations of his brother Magistrates, and of the gen-
tlemen at the bar. This, we believe, is ti:e first instance
of a Catholic gentleman admitted to the Magistracy under
the operation of the Catholic Relief Bill.—Leeds Mercury.
We understand that the Committee appointed

Colonel JONES, W. CRAWFORD, Esq. J. HOPE, Esq.
Mr. FIELDER, Mr. POPE, and Mr. JACKSON, will be the
principal witnesses examined.

It having been rumoured, that in the arrange-
ments recommended be the Law Commissioners, the
eastern part of this county was to be placed within the
jurisdiction of Monmouth, we beg to observe, that the
whole of Glamorganshire is included in the S.E. district
