WA MIEN DER.

The Catholic Peers were not introduced, as
in the case of new Peers ; but they presented the writs,
and thus entered the House like ancient Peers. The Duke
of Noavotx bad been in the habit of sending each session
for Lis writ, which he received. Lord DORMER sent for
his, for the first time, this session. Lord CLIFFORD also
obtained his writ this session.

The admission of the Duke of NORFOLK,
&c. into the House of Peers on Tuesday, is thus recorded
o❑ their Lordships' Journals :—" The Duke of NORFOLK,
the Lord CLIFFORD, and the Lord DORMER, took the oath
appointed by the Act of the present Session to be taken by
Peers professing the. Roman Catholic religion."
A friend of Lord DORMER contradicts the
paragraph take❑ from a Brighton Paper, which stated that
his Lordship cannot speak a word of the English language.
It is true that his Lordship passed his early life abroad
(his father, who was a General in the Hungarbm, .trrice,
haring married a lady of high rank in that ; but
he not only understands, but speaks English perfectly.—
Maidstone Journal.

SAD PROGNOSTICS.—When General Mr-
as Nos hoisted the banners of independence in the Carae-
cas, all things went on well, till, unfortunately, an earth-
quake laid several places in ruins, which was an obvious
sign (at least so said the Priests) that Providence was no
friend to liberal institutions. There was' no use in fight-
ing against Providence and Priests, and General 'MIRANDA
came to an unfortunate end. The Duke of Wituarrcrosr
is a fortunate man, in having settled matters with the
Protestant Priests in time to prevent their deriving aid
from Providence against him. According to a eoteripo-
rary (The Morning Journal), we owe the want of a
spring to the settlement of the Catholic Question. .6 It
is (he says) an awful crisis. The incendiary acts of the
people of Ireland hare been transferred to England. Na-
ture has denied us a spring. We are.on the eve of sum-
mer with the climate and the sterility of ter. The
very trees seem ashamed of the land in w 'Ea the wire
