chioness of Ely, the Hon. Mary Seymour, Colonel the

PETERBOROUGH.—A petition has just been presented
4gainst the return of Mr. G. H. Whalley, who contested
the representation with Mr. Cornewall Lewis, praying
that the return may be declared void, on the ground of
bribery and corruption.

MR. PETER BORTHWICK died on Saturday, the 18th
instant, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Borthwick
represented Evesham in two parliaments. For the last
three years he filled the office of editor of the Morning
Post.

MAJOR W. BERESFORD sent in his resignation, as
§eeretary at War, as soon as the committee had embodied
In their verdict the opinion which he himself appeared to
have formed of the unguardedness of his conduct in
Zriting th letter of which so scandalous a use has since
een madee , at the Derby election.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, we understand, contem-
plates forthwith throwing open Apsley House to the pub-
under certain regulations. in order that they may view
the magnificent collection of presents given by foreign
rvereigns to his late father. It is, we believe, an acknow-
edgment on the part of his grace for the late munificent
Vent of £BO,OOO for the late duke's interment.

at t E EARL or EGLIgTON.—Among the consequences
ae change of Ministry, the retirement of the Earl of
Tinton from the Irish vice-royalty is a subject of uni-
tlot,al regret in the sister island. The position of the
sk...u.te Earl, compared with that of his predecessor at a
Vast. juncture, presents a remarkable contrast. The
of Clarendon, after an administration marked by the
of " abject popularity-hunting of which a representative
c,:°Yalty was ever guilty, left Ireland amidst general ex-
4tion. The Earl of Eglinton, who never consulted
Let but the dignity of his Sovereign and the responsi-
te,'Y of his office, takes away with him the unanimous
t of those over whom he was set to rule.—John Bull.
