It is said that all the principal places in the
Cabinet are filled, except the Chancellorship, the contest
for which is between the Master of the Rolls and Mr. Scar-
lett. Many think the latter will come off victor, although
a sort of reconciliation has taken place between Mr. Can-
ning and Sir John Copley.—Morning Paper.
" It never rains but it pours," says a homely
proverb. The Ex-Lord Chancellor was last week struck
off the Rolls of the Athenceum for non-payment of the
arrears of his subscription money ; verily, " A perilous
omen !" unless we are to suppose his Lordship, with in-
stinctive prescience, had already begun to contract his ex-
pences to provide against the "rainy day."
Mr. Peel's brothers were, on Saturday, active
about Whitehall, and in calling-at their brother's residence
in Privy Gardens.—Morning Paper.
From the specimens afforded in the last num-
ber of the Quarterly Review of the unpublished writings
of the late Bishop Heber, a very general wish has been ex-
pressed that those who possess them will allow them to he
given to the world.
It is likely to be again a great " lady-bird "
year, for many are now to be seen amongst the *leaves of
young flowers ; and during the last week many ‘f gold but-
terflies " have skimmed with all the gaiety of midsummer in
the gardens of the suburbs of the metropolis.
A Dr. Boston, of Newcastle, is now actually
in London for the purpose of obtaining a patent for clear-
ing the metropolis of Smoke ; he proposes that the order of
things shall be reversed, and that our chimnies shall descend
into huge subterraneous fluess,.•thrnugh which the dense
clouds which now envelope the town are to be conveyed
into 'the country, and then discharged—what an enviable
retreat that village will afford, the neighbourhood of which,
is to he selected for this agreeable visitation.—John Bull.
Madame Sontag and Madame Pasta are, we
understand, both engaged by Mr. Ebers to sing at the
Italian Opera House during the present season. In conse-
quence of previous engagements, we fear Madame Pasta
cannot arrive in England before the end of May.
GRAND TOURNAMENT.—A letter from
Corfu, of the 14th March, says, that the principal inhabitants
of that island had celebrated the return of Sir F. and Lady
Adams, to the lonian Islands, by a Tournament. All the
horsemen were dressed in the costume of the Knights of
ancient times, their horses ' caparisoned in a suitable man-
ner. According to the customs of chivalry, each Knight
wore the colours of a Lady ; the victor wore the
colours of Lady Adams. A great number of per-
sons from all the Islands came to be present at this en-
tertainment, in which every thing was perfectly well
managed.

PLEASANT NAMES FOR A NOVEL !—An
American paper of the 18th ult., says—"A Treaty with
the Chippeway Indians has recently been ratified by the
President and Senate, and published. The names of about
80 Indians are subjoined to the Treaty, of which the fol-
lowing are specimens:—

Madwagkunageezhigwaab Oshauguscodaywagqua
Peekwankwotoansekay Obnyshatmoquotoqua
Oguhbayannuliquotwaybee."

A PENITENT.—At the last Salisbury Assizes,
sentence of death was passed on Raymond Read, for horse-
stealing; and from that moment, up to the time of his
reprieve, no one could be more devout, or apparently pe-
nitent ; but immediately on hearing the news that mercy
had been obtained for him, he returned the Bible and
Prayer Book which had been lent him, saying, " that he
had now no further occasion for them."--fionts Chron.
BTJONAPARTE'S SMALL-CLOTHES.--One
day, Alexander. expressed his ardent desire to have a pair
of Napoleon's breeches. Duroc, the Grand Marshal of the
Palace, sounded his master on the subject. Napoleon" Oh, by all means,"
laughed heartily.
said he, " give
him them all if he wishes it, only leave me a pair for a
change." This may be vouched for as authentic ; but it
is not equally certain, though strongly affirmed by many,
that Alexander, who was very superstitious, made the cam-
paigns of 1812 and 1813 in Buonaparte's breeches.—

Gazette.

Dr. Pitcairn " was a great enemy to quackery
and quacks, of whom he used to say that there were not
such liars in the world except their patients. A relation
of his, one day, asking his opinion of a certain work on
Fevers, he observed, Ido not like Fever curers; we may
guide a Fever—we cannot cure it. What would you think
of a pilot who attempted to quell a storm ? Either position
is equally absurd. We must steer the ship as well as we
can in a storm, and in fever tt•e can only employ patience
and judicious measures, to meet the difficulties of the case.'"

Dr. Radcliffe " told Dr. Mead one day,
`Mead, I love you ; and now I will tell you a sure secret to
make your fortune—use all mankind ill.' He was avari-
cious, and would never pay his bills without ranch impor-
tunity. A pavior, after long and fruitless attempts, caught
him just getting out of his chariot, at his own door in
Bloomsbury-square, and set upon him.--.' Why, you rascal,'
said the doctor, do you pretend to be paid for such a piece
of work? Why you have spoiled my pavement, and then
coveted it over with earth to hide your bad work.' Doc-
tor,' said the pavior, mine is not the only bad work the
earth hides.' ' You dog, you,' said the doctor, are you
a wit ? you must be poor—come in and be paid. ' ".„....Arugte

RESIGNATION OF BOLIVAR.

CARA CCAs, Fee. 21t—The expedition preparing hare
has been suspended, as late information assures us Spain
will not force England into a war. Six thousand men
were in readiness to embark. The battalions of ALISWaI -
tegui, Boyaca, Carabobo, Apure, grenadiers, and three
squadrons of cavalry, were ordered for the service. The
battalions of Jntilia, Verglasi,Gellen,,, i and a squadron of
moue ted grenediere, would lave xeplaced these in the fort-
ress iairounie.' Trhese latter troops have recently arrived
from .Peru; mind the'Privites are Pertiriens. They e ..?
now quartered in- Caraccas, 'and the Valley of Aragua, and
they make excellent soldiers out,of their own country.
" The reforms and xeductioacof expences made by order
of thel Liberator begin to fiheyr the beneficial effects. In.._
dustry'Sgain Sentinel her power ; commerce increases, and
agriculture, so lOnefiegleeted, is now studiously pursued.
One of the greatest evils under which thia country labour-
ed, was the iniquitoni traffie. Amide by foreign merchants
of Government paper money; which they pin-Chatted fee s,
4, and et per cent., and paid into the custona-kouse at its
full nominal value. Such'a system of cruel ecTry was
never heard of; and, whilst the poor unfortunate vie-
tints to this rapacity were forced to sacrifice the hard earn-
ings of their life, passed in so many dangers and difficulties,
tho treasury was exhausted, and taxes.were necessarily mul-
tiplied. A just decree of the Liberator, however, has put
art end to these prosesdings.
"On the 14th of January, Congress wanted only one
Nfember to make up the number required by
,law. As
each Deputy receives six dollars per day, it is hoped they
will do something, to earn a salary, which presses so heavily
on the country. ,
" There has been no living greatness which ever escaped
calumny. The traitors who gave up Lima and Callao to
the common enemy, who have unceasingly conspired against
the life of the Liberator, ae the palladium of South Amp-
rican liberties—who have endeavoured to promote anarchy
'in ,regibni enjoying 'the biesaing of peace, under the pro-
tection of equal rights and laWs,. that they might gratify
,their own resentment, or Make &eh:fortunes by the spoil
and humiliation of their lellow-Cititeas—Lhaftled in their
' machinations by the vigour of the Liberator, and the love
which is borne him by the people, have, we see with re-
gret, and some pain, called to their aid -portions of the press
in Europe, that they may assassinate a reputation which is
the most cherished object of the Liberator's ambition, and
which belongs to the world, horn:tuned bya.and deeply inte-
rested in, the preservation of h*glnry. -.lndependence,won

fidence, and are titles to which future ages will do just ~
homage, by recording him as one of the most illustrious be-
nefactors of mankind. The proclamation which I encloie
affords another proof of the integrity by which this greatest ' "1

It was the boast of Louis XI. of France, that
he had put the monarchy hors de page—that he
had rendered it independent of the great families
or great-factions of the kingdom, who could dis-
turb it at pleasure, and usurped all the offices
and all the emoluments by turns. It now begins
to appear to us, shall we say, that the King. of
England, or his Minister -IVEr. Canning, enter-
tains the same lofty ambition ? When we ex-
pressed the apprehension that if Mr. Canning
sought to form a Ministry from his own friends
and adherents, he would fail, we were not
aware that the• Duke of Clarence, the Heir Pre-
sumptive to the throne, would rank himself on
his side, accept the office of Lord High Ad-
miral under him, and so restore the administra-
tion of the navy to something like its ancient
form. Yet such is the case. The pro- 1
blem to be solved is this—Shall the Crown
be dependent On either of the factions, shifting from
one to the other, in the hope of some temporary ad-
vantage or visionary power ? Or shall it assume, in
fact, its position in-theory, according to the Consti-
tution ? And shall the nation, instead of being
governed, sometimes by a few Tory families, and
sometimes by a few Whig families, but chiefly the
former, be in reality governed by its own Parliament,
consisting of King, Lords, and Commons? His
Majesty appears to us to have assumed an attitude
in which he must be firm, or the Royal House of
Brunswick drops, in affect, from the throne of Eng-
land, and the Government merges into an open
Oligarchy. Had he never begun the contest, but
shifted peaceably from party to party, his real situa-
tion would not have been know-to the many ; but if,
after having attempted to assert the independence, of
his throne, he-flinches; then th'e :pitiable truth will
be clear to children—that he Cannot reign but by the
import of a faction.--Thnes.

It is useless to inquire what exact proportions
of insolence and maligarmay lava entered into
the motives of the old Tiny Ministers for one
and all resignink. But the people of England
will be alike disgusted at the presumption which
would make their Sovereign the tool of a gang
of place-holders, who had nothing to recommend
them but his ill-requited favour, arid at the bare-
faced profligacy which seeks to obAlict: the
united efforts of his Majesty and his chosen ser-
vant to obtain for the country the indispensable
advantage of some regular and effective Admi-
nistration. Fortunately, with the single excep-
tion of Mr. Peel, there is not an individual of
the ei-Ministers (and in this remark-we include
the Duke of Wellington), for whom, as a Mi-
nister, the nation feels one particle of regret or
reverence. As statesmen, they, with Lord Eldon
at the head of them, were among the very lowest
of the tribe ; and having once disposed of the
question of principle, involved in their ungrateful
mutiny against their benefactor, we can solemnly
affirm that the retreat from political office of
Lords Eldon, Bathurst, Westmorland, the Duke
of Wellington, and Lord Melville, is such a
blessed relief from a whole bundle of nuisances,
as in our own time, and thrOugh natural means,
we bad scarcely ever hoped to see accomplished.
Upon what is reported to have been done by Mr.
Canning towards the formation of a new Mi-
nistry, and upon what remains for him to do,
the Right Hon. Gentleman will, we assure our-
selves, take it' in good part, if we offer him a
few frank observations. It is said that Lord
Granville has been named for the department
which was lately filled by Mr. Canning. Lord
Granville has never occupied; in the public
esti:nation, a space which would seem to qualify
him for so high, extensive, and arduous an office as
that of 'oreign affairs; nor do we suspect that
:he noble Lord is pitched upon by his friend as
a Minister fitted to hold it in perpetuum. But
the course of diplomacy which has for some
years past engaged the attention of the late
Foreign Secretary, and required the full scope of
his skill and talent, may perhaps be more se-
curely and effectually followed up by a Minister
in his entire confidence, and reposing steadily on
his guidance, than by iiman more brilliant or in-
dependent, and therefore less amenable to com-
mand. Mr. Robinson, uncial: EIS' new title of
Lord Strathearn—or in any, other shape—retain-
ing only-she spirit and substance and estimable
character. of krederick Robinson, will be, as a
Colonial Minister, worth a whole archipelago of
Batluirstg. There Cs in the administration of
the British Colonies much that ought to be, not
merely.done, but redeemed. Lord Dudley will
be, upon the whole, as good an exchange for the
late illustrious Privy Seal, Lord Westmorland, as
Mr. Robinson is universally regarded for the
Tory whom be supersedes. But we open ano-
ther chapter by again observing, that Lord
Granville and Lord Dudley are better known as
personal friends of Mr. Canning, than for any
oseikinat pretensions. The circumstances under
ditch His Majesty commissioned the Right
a,
Nonourable Gentleman to frame the new Admi a t 1
-
nistTation forbid the belief that any undue th
restralifwaa placed by the Royal pleasure on his th
choice. We have hot heard that the Whigs are of
anxious to eitibarrass Mr. Canning's policy by tai
making it a sine qua non that their chiefs shall th
refuse office but Ori conditiun of taking with
them the whole body of the yank and file. fro
Lord Lansdown would surely bring an accession da
of strength as well as grace to the new Cabinet.
nai
What statesman in the empire better gifted sh
to direct its internal policy, and above all wi
the Irish policy, than this nobleman ? It
might seem invidious to point at other indi-
viduals of the same party ; but we are per-
suaded that the country would view with
pleasu:e a league of friendship and co-opera-
tion ests:blished between Mr. Canning and
the more temperate and enlightened Members
of the OppostZion. In the mean time there
are one or two mati.-ers of urgency which ought to be
finished instanter. Tiv Court Circular tells us that

Lord Eldon, although :L.:As sent in his resignation,
is to hold the seals for some woeks longer, " that he
may give judgment" in certain eauses now before
him. Is it meant, then, that the eagerness to go out
of office will induce this old gentleman to make
more despatch, and really to decide the outstanding
vases, instead of finding excuses to delay them ? Ws
feel this, if true, to be a weakness and an impolicy in
Mr. Canning. Lord Chancellor Eldon is a spy in the
camp—he is an enemy in the garrison. God knows
what may happen, if a square inch of ground on
which to plant an intrigue be left him. Therefore,
we would submit to Mr. Canning, the wisdom of at
once announcing to my
Lord Eldon, that his Lord-
ship had better go immediately about his business,
and leave the Court of Chancery, as well as the
King's Court, to some less questionable keeping.
There is another point concerning resignations, on
which we may suggest one word, and it is a case
where general policy combines with feeling to re-
commend that no time should be wasted. Lord
Manners and Mr. Goulburn have been hitherto those
official persons of the Irish Government who were
held in most obloquy by the people. Lord Manners
is reported to have sent in his resignation some
short time ago=—more lately still has the Right Hon.
Secretary made the same amende to Ireland. Now,
if Mr. Canning be anxious to satisfy the Irish nation
that their good fortune is not a dream—that they
have really shaken off the Orange nightmare—that
law between rich and poor—between Protestant and
Catholic—is never again to become a mercenary and
