 If Sir Robert Peel has as large share of vanity as many public, or even many private men possess, he must have been gratifed to superlatye degree, by the events which have occurred in England. The fact that a ministry cOulG not he formed, and, of course. l that the affairs of the government must have 1 been to considerable degree suspended tor two or three weeks. on the ground Of hts ab- sence, and that the whole were obliged |" wait for his return, was as high compliment tO his talents and character, as could we'll be imagined. Aud this compliment proceeded from parsonage no less distinguished m tn" affairs of that empire than the Duke Ot Wet lingtOn, So decidedly important was It, tnat Sir Robert should be consulted before the ministerial arrangements were conc'udea' the principal departm were placed in the hands of ihe Doke of Wellington. to whom the King had c0nfided the pnwer of making up the ministry, and were not tO be drhnlt'Ve' ly disposed of until Sir Robert should return from Italy, and be consulted respecting them ! This amounts to an acknowledgement on ihe part of the King, and the intended prime min ! ister. that the business Of the government could not be proceeded with. without the aid of Sir Roberts talents, experience, and WIS dom. This, in nation where there IS sO rIuch talent, experience, and wisdom. IS high and flattering tribute to that gentlemans character, which will be duly appreciated not only by him, but by the country at large. whenever party politics shall not influence and control individual OpiniOn.-N.

 "The Presidents mansion. according to custom, was thrown open to-day for the re- ception of visitors. The heads of the De. partn1ents, various officers of the Army and l Navy in full uniform, members of Congress, several members of the Diplomatic Corps. in their court dresses, or uniforms, together with vast concourse Of citizens Of lsOth sexes, called tO pay their respects {" our venerable Chief Magistrate. They were received with that blandness and courtesy for which Gener- al Jackson is distinguished. The old Chief seemed to be in excellent health and spirits. | was gratiAed to see many opposition mem bers of Congress, and even an occasional nni-
