severations of the fact, that Lord CAMDEN had kept back
such a communication from Lord CANTLEINAGN.
" With respect to the period at which the change is the
War Deparliacat was to take place, Mt. CANNING was
dared, in the first instance, to consent to its postpoaemest till
the rising of Parliament, partly b 3 the represeaSslions made
to himself of the iocuoveniencies of aay chase in the middle
of a Session, but priocipalty from a eunsidenulou of the par.

would have given to his removal at that period of the Sessioos
a character which it was ecrtaialy so part of Mr. CANNIIIG's
wi'h that it should hear.

'4 Mr: CANNING. however, received the most piaNiate
promise, that a change is the War Department shoaki take
place immediately upon the close of the Scales. When dint
time arrived, the earnest and repeated cosmetics of 11160 of
Lord CASTLEILEAGIeS friessds lo the Cabinet, were em-
ployed to prevail upon Mr. C • 11111110 n COWIN le the post-

" It was therefore matter of astonishment hi Mr. CANNING,

and before not step whatever had been taken towards carry-

On Sunday se'nnight, a ludicrous circumstance
occurred in the Cathedral of Carlisle. The Mayor
and Corporation having attended divine service, as
is customary before the election of a new Mayor,
the Church oas crowded in every part. When the
organ struck up Te Dew's, the congregation were
surprised at the profound silence observed by the
churisters—nothing was to be heard but the rich
au(' pressi ve tones Of that harmoniums ins t runien t ;
no rains accompanied it. Upon enquiring into the
rause, it was found that the Gentlemen of the
choir had come to aa shaninions determination not
to sing until their salaries were raised. At present
they only receive 3s. Os. per amines each. Snore

We were on the second bench in the Steele

speech so given to him in this same ;Wash Press,
to be a gross misrepresentation.
With respect to the speech of the Lsdy---this is
the fact...for we were one of the ring, which we
stated to have been formed in the Pit ; and al-
though we had nu taste fur appearing is the in.
terior of thut magic circle, yet as not forty per.
sons were at that moment in the Pit, there wag
no difficulty in hearing is hat passed. The Lady,
who, as wo bef..ru .laud, appeared to be a fo.

two Jews, who had proposed a ring, and so tar
from espousing the cause of thou Proprietors, by
reprobating the behaviour of the discontented,

The Jew, looking at the shilling (which was se
bad, that, in fact, it had thu appearance more of a
smooth halfpenny than a shilling), said, •` Why,
you must have been mad, or blind, to have taken
