FIOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING.
NOTHING less nor more than a grand banquet and ball at
the Duchess of SUTHERLAND'S, on Friday evening, pre-
vented the discussion, in both Houses of Pit.;lament, of
the Eastern question, which is uppermost in every man's
mind, and, as each succeeding dispatch arrives, developes
features that cause consternation in the Ministerialist
Coalition camp. Her ?MAJESTY accepted an invitation
to dine with the Duchess of SUTHERLAND; and, to meet
their SOVEREIGN, the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Earl of
CLARENDON, Lord PALMERSTON, and three or four
other leading members of the Cabinet received " pro-
vokes" from the courtly mistress of Sutherland -house.
In the absence of Ministers so closely connected with our
foreign policy, any debate touching the Russian war
against Turkey could not possibly be carried on, and an
intimation to that effect having been made to the Marquis
of CLANRICARDE, who had a motion upon the subject in
the House of Peers, and to Mr. LAYARD, who was simi-
larly situated in the House of Commons, both senators,
who are smarting sorely because they no longer hold the
offices from which they derived so large a share of pay and
patronage under the Whig administration, sulkily con-
sented to leave the question in abeyance for some days
longer. It was with some difficulty that the ex-Postmaster-
General could be prevailed upon to forego the pleasure of
embarrassing his quondam allies by extracting an explana-
tion with regard to the course which we are now pursu-
ing, when Russia openly sets the combined powers at
defiance. He point blank refused Lord ABERDEEN'S
personal request to allow him to leave the Peers' Chamber
before half-past seven o'clock, "in order that he might
prepare to meet her MAJESTY ;" and it was solely owing
to the intervention of the Bishop of OXFORD that, at ten
minutes to eight o'clock—just twenty minutes in advance
of the SUTHERLAND dinner, that he gave in. The instant
WILBERFORCE approached the Ministerial benches to
convey intelligence which he well knew would bring comfort
to the distressed mind of the old Thane, he darted with all the
mercuriality of a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from his seat,
en route for his toilette in Argyle-house, quickly followed
by the SECRETARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS, leaving the
Duke of NEWCASTLE to combat with the Marquis of
WESTMEATH, the Earl of EoeteeroN, and Lord DERBY,
who were just then engaged in energetic encounter with
the Coalitionist Administration for appointing to the Irish
Solicitor-Generalship Mr. KEOGH, who, they alleged,
made an electioneering speech some months ago, in the
presence of a large number of HER MAJESTY'S subjects,
counselling corporal punishment,during the long nights of
winter, of those who might record their votes against the
candidate for whom he was interested—a charge, by the
way, which, I may state, was indignantly repelled by the
COLONIAL SECRETARY, on the part of his Irish legal ad-
vocate, which :led :to the retort courteous, and which
in all probability, will produce an extraordinary corres-
pondence between Mr. KEOGH and Lord NAAS, the late
Chief Secretary for Ireland, whom, rumour alleges, paid
five visits in one day, early last December, to Mr. KEOGH
at the Reform and Erecthium Club, and asked him to
accept office under Lord DERBY'S Government.
There will be plenty of time to animadvert on the East
India measure—now the great political tub to whale
public ; it bids fair to go on till the end of the session,
which, by the bye, may be expected to occur with the end
of August. HER MAJESTY is a capital "whipper in,"
and Balmoral, I understand, is fast becoming quite en-
chanting. Forbid that I should inflict on your readers
anything like a political view of the state of India—though,
for this purpose, I may be more blessed than Sir CHARLES
WOOD ; like him, I admit, I have never been in India,
but I have mingled much with East Indians; familiarly
eaten rice with a couple of sticks with that prince among
men,—once seen, never forgotten—Ram MOHUN ROY,—
be of the dusky, but intelligent visage; have beard all
he had to say of India ; have met other real natives, to
Say nothing of British people long resident there ; they
all complain of grievances, never hinted at in the long
and drowsy rifaciniento of Sir CHARLES Woon. It was
very melancholy to witness that poor orator, all ungainly
as he is—naked, nude of grace, action, and utterance;
bad voice, even in tone, were he free of his fright fully
vulgar " gobble gobble," which has placed him in affinity
with that foolish bird, the turkey. On and on Sir
CHARLES talked at second-hand ; and, cruel mockery,
his colleagues in office had not the decency to conceal
their disgust. PALMERSTON sat with his " kiddy"
hat over his nose ; others were prone on the green broad
seats of the gallery ; GLADSTONE, who usually con-
ducts himself meritoriously, could not stand it ; Lord
JOHN was peevish, and the house was sweated down by
" gentle dulness," which on this occasion did not love a
oke. Mr. KATE, your history of Indian progress was
laid under severe contribution by the President of the
Board of Control, to whom, sooth to say, is by no means
applicable the remark of the great moralist in reference
to his friend OLIVER GOLDSMITH, that he touched nothing
he did not adorn—
