April feeliog of sorrow and pleasure, since it is to n.ake one for

blooming Taxa of Covent-Garden is shortly to he transplawed to

manta which the Noble Proprietor of that distrift is making (ma
which his friend, Tke Chronicle,- abuses), none will be u•,,re orna-

IMPROBABILITIES.—"In the event of .1. S.Wottri.r.r,
Esq. M. P. being called to the House of Peers, the representation
in his stead, for Yorkshire, will be warmly contested at the ensuing
General Election. We have heard that an arrangement is likely to
take place, at the next General Election, in the county of Westmor-
land, by which Mr. BROUGHAM will be returned without opposi-
tion." We copy the above from a Morning Paper; but the Editor
may rest assured, that in case of a vacancy for Yorkshire, there is
no one will contest it at an expense of 50,060, which it rould
cost ; at:d that, if Mr. Baounuast offers himself for ‘Vestnukland,
hewill be opposed.

The eagerness with which the Public embark in
every new speculation that is offered, shews at once the adventurous
spirit of the age, and the impolicy of shutting up the only math,-
razed channel by which it can have vent. Lotteries are now
their close, and this harmless mode of adventure will soon be denied
to the Public; for harmless it is in every sense of the word in such
a Scheme as the present, where uptoirrds of Twzotty Thousuld
Pounds must be gained on the 16th of this Month, at the tisk of
Zest than Five Pounds, or from One to Two ThousatO Pounsis by

too frequently, upon receiving their advanced pay, con-
sider that they may change their ship, or desett at ple.-

they would hate been guilty of felon), and must havo

Mr. SHADWELL„ when this petition was called on,
' stated that it stood in the paper to-clay to be spoken
upon. His Lordship's communication had been made
to the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury respecting this
Chat ity, and au intimation had been ►eturced, that they
had not yet had sufficient time to enable them to say
hAt steps they ought to take; therefore, the Learned
Counsel had to pray that the matter might be again
allowed to stand over, to afford the Dean and Chapter
an opportunity of maturely cots.ideriug it.
His LORDSHIP ►rally thought the Dean and Chapter
ought ttnutnish the Court with their answer by the first
Seal after Christmas.
