Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, sum-

Some of those who profess to be in the secret, as-
sert that the Duke of Wellington either has been, or is to be, in-
trusted with the task of forming a new Ministry; of which, of
course, his Grace himself will in that case be it the head.—

R. MAccuLLocir.—We learn from a Scotch pa-
per that this erudite Theban is detained in the North by the snow ;
he and the thaw, therefore, will come to London together.--
Arcades ambo—both are equally solid. We understand, more-
over, (from the same authority,) that he will come up by ono

be, if he brings his Lectures in his pocket?

CANINE SAGACITY AND GRATITUDE.—Dr.Von
Iffidan relates a very extraordinary case of the sagacity of a New-

thel g,
daotg-
fo New-
foundland dog. The Doctor observes :—" While in practice at
.nd back, he was coaxed into the surgery, where, on.
eotQrxnauacemt thbeieedne laaoedn I
found an artery and the tendons completely divided.
I ordered the poor animal to be firmly secured, by which means a
ligature was applied to the bleeding vessel, and after shaving the
hair surrounding the wound, I carefully applied adhesive plasters,
and brought its edges together (leaving a small aperture for the
ligature) covered with a linen bandage. After the operation he
was set at liberty; but to my great surprise, the following morn-
ing the dog was one of my earliest patients. The bandage ap-
peared to be undisturbed; I, however, removed it for the pupas
of examining the state of the wound, and as the strips of pilaster
seemed to be in the adhesive state I had applied them the day be-
fore, they were allowed to remain. On the third day, about the
came hour, the sagacious animal made his appearance—he was
then of course considered by me as an out-door patient, incopsliga.
and patiently (by his gestures) awaited his turn to meet the atten-
tion of my assistants to dress anew his wounds ; to which be most
gently submitted, licking, during the whole time of the operation►
the hands of the operator. He continued punctually to visit my
surgery every morning at the same hour until cured, which I be-
lieve was not less than fifteen days. I found some time after that
the dog belonged to a respectable butcher in St. John's suburbs;
and, to prove the gratitude of that animal, I must say, that every'
time I had occasion to pass his master's house, it was impossible
to avoid the extreme caresses and fondness which he displayed by
his alert gestures and jumping, and even following me throughout
my visits to all the patients I then had under my care in both
suburbs, and then following until lie saw me safely in my own
lodgings, when he immediately departed for his master's home ;
and what is more extraordinary, all the enticing means resorted
to by the studiants and myself, never could prevail upon the dog tg4
enter the surgery after he was dismissed as cured."
