RICHARD FOR Rosales— A few days since,
in the neighbourhood of Sherborne, a Rev. Gen-
tleman called on his friend, another Rev. Gen-
tleman, to congratulate him on the Cabinet
change. After dinner the vine came round, and
the Rev. Gentleman gave several toasts ; amongst
others, "To the Right Hon. George Canning,
the zealous friend of the Tories," when a Lady
observed that she thought lie was under a little
mistake, and that he intended the Right Hon.
Robert Peel. He felt her observation, and left
the banquet with his face covered, truly mortified.

remaining on the head. A little of the gilding
is also visible on the left temple, left breast, and
on the hands. mummy is remarkably per-
fect. We believe it was brought from Thebes.—

All the influence which women enjoy in so-
ciety,—their right to the exercise of that mater-
nal care which forms the first and most indelible
species of education ; the wholesome and miti-
gating restraint which they possess over the pas-
sions of mankind ; their power of protecting us
when young, and cheering us when old—de-
pends so entirely upon their personal purity, and
the charm which it casts around them, that to
insinuate a doubt of its real value is wilfully to
remove the broadest corner-stone on which civil
society rests, with all its benefits and with all its
comforts.—Scott.
We are informed, that in consequence of the
disclosures which were made in the discussions

sible officer, for the specific purpose of examining
all private bills, and thereby guarding against the
introduction of any thing which might invade
either the property of the Crown or the rights of
the subject.
