LITERARY UNION.-Sir WALTER SCOTT has writ-
ten one of his wonted kind and pleasant letters, an-
nouncing his junction to this society. We learn that the

and comprise most of those who are actively engaged in
moving public opinion, through the medium of the
press—almost all the EDITORS of the leading publications
of the day being Members.

SYMPTOMS IN THE EAST.—The following is from
private correspondent of the Glasgow Paper :—" Extract
of a letter from Bombay, dated the 27th of July :---‘ We
are all out of humour and grumbling at the reductions the
Court have ordered to take place ; indeed, the Bengal
army are said to be quite factious. Lord William asked
a number of officers to dinner and they all refused on the
score of disapprobation of his public measures. Lady
William gave an evening party, and only eleven people
attended. This is showing their party feeling pretty de-

cidedly.'"
It is understood that Mr. MAHON It means to submit
to the public a statement of the transactions between
Mr. O'CoNxEm. and him. Mr.O'GoaMAN threatens

putation of 1825, which he has declared to be " u cu-
runts document." Mr. ENEAS MACDONNPLL has, ac-
tually announced an exposi in which the ex-leader must
necessarily cut a distinguished figure, and Mr. Wm
is already in print.

THE LATE EUGENICS Rocuz.—We have a melan-
choly duty to perform, in announcing that there is pre-
paring for immediate publication, " London in a Thou-
'sand Years ;" with other Poems, by the late EuG !Nun
' Roots ESQ. Editor of the Courier, &c, with a Per-
trait of the Author and a Sketch of his Life.—The work
is to be published by subscription, and we have no doubt
that every admirer of talent, as well as the numerous
private friends of the lamented author, will avail them-
selves of this opportunity of chewing their respect for the
dead, and their inclination to do good to his surviving
family ; for whose benefit, we understand, the proceeds of
the present work are to be devoted.
It is a curious fact, and one not noticed by any of the
London Papers, that Mr. Peel was not present at the
Hing's Council at which Parliament was last prorogued,
and the day for its assembling for the despatch of busi-
ness fixed.—Dublin Evening Mail.
As an instance—and it is a curious one—of the de-
clining popularity of Mr. O'Connel, we state, that on
Saturday last that Gentleman's son Maurice was black-
balled in the new liberal Club in Dawson-street, one es-
