Money—coined money—and much of it, is wanted
by Russia to carry on the war—not only on the shores of
the Danube, but in Asia ; hence the draw in Question.
Russian houses in the city have, also, been drawing heavily
:An the bullion in the Bank cellars, to send gold to Odessa

The mare's nest of the week, however, has been the
-alleged refusal of Lord PALMERSTON to endorse the

will only wait—as Ire is waiting—for a becoming oppor-

even tottering, without assistance. These matters are

ABERDEEN and the Whig LANSDOWNE, each of whom
in tremulous accents may ejaculate—" Pity the sorrows of

their way, however unnatural their present conjunction.

The Corporation of the City of London have resolved,
and resolved wisely, it is considered, to be silent in regard
:to the proceedings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry,
Aintil the proper time. Meantime a strong case is being
made out. The witnesses now examined are speaking to
-Facts which "nobody can deny." The conservation (en-
croachment ?) of the Thames looks ugly : a reform will be
effected, but not so sweeping as the disaffected desire.
The vacancy caused in the Irish representation by the
sleath of the late Lord CLONCURRY'S son, CECIL Lkw-
LESS, who sat in the House of Commons as member for
the renowned borough of Clonmel, has set the COPPOCKS MA other electioneering gentlemen of that class in active
motion. Mr. LAWLESS gave during last session of parlia-
agent consistent and independent support to the ABER-
MEEN administration on more than one occasion, both in
the senate and in the committee-room. Mr. HATTER,
the government " whip," found that the scion of the
House of CLONCURRY rendered valuable practical service
to his masters, and judging by the exertions which are
mow being made, the subordinates of the mongrel coali-
tion feel nervously anxious that Mr. LAWLESS' successor
should be equally up to the government standard of ex-
cellence, and prepared to battle for their permanence of
position. There is some talk in Conservative circles that
the representation which Father BURKE, in his capacity
of Returning Officer General, has allotted to Mr. JOHN
lO'CoNNEee, will be contested by a resident and much-
esteemed landed proprietor in the county of Tiperary,
eon sound Protestant and constitutional principles, but I
confess I do not attach touch importance to this rumour,
which as yet, at all events, has assumed nothing more
than the appearance of the most ordinary piece of political
gossip. The government do not apprehend any opposition
en this occasion from their natural and legitimate
tagonists, but they believe it quite possible that at the
eleventh hour some protégé of the disappointed tenant-
- league faction may be pressed forward, and that under the
auspices of the newspaper triumvirate who hold sway in
Dublin the contest may be commenced. It is to meet
:inch an emergency that their exertions are directed, and
that arrangements have been made to supply the present
popular" candidate with the sinews of war. The return
of another O'CorixELL to Parliament, from what I know,
is, I believe, nearly certain. Clonmel will follow the
example of Kerry; and this brings me to state a fact
which has not been heretofore announced, that the
7oungest son of the late " Liberator," notwithstanding the
nationalities of his name and antecedents, is about allying
liimself in marriage to an English lady, with large English
Pecuniary appendages, and that his retirement, consequent
on the nuptial tie, from the English Parliament, is by no
means an improbable event. Young DAN, so they call
Lim here at the " Fielding" and other social clubs, has
teen a resident in London since O'CoNNEee's death left
the family residence in Merrion-square a " bleak house."
Although enjoying the reputation of a Derrynane legacy
to the extent of £5,000, he quieted himself down to liter-
ary work, and, with much commendable earnestness,
-became a successful contributor to some of the more
popular London periodicals. A perusal of his "Reminis-
cences of Irish Society in 1846" induced the spirit of
Enquiry in the bosom of a fair lady as to its author, and
the result has been that which I have modestly indicated,
the approaching alliance between two members of distin-
guished Irish and English families.
