LORD PALMERSTON'S PEERAGE APPOINT MENTS.  Haring been foiled in his attempt at cleating peerages, the Premier seems determined to avail himse of existing forms of procedure in order to stock tial House of Lords with scions of Whig families, or the tuc-t devoted of their adherents. During the last two 3,4 N no less than eleven of his followers have either b,e, raised to the peerage or adranced a step in the sarn. The statement may appear incredible to those who lia+e not paid attention to the subject; thtr,hr, to prevent any mistake, we append the  labs. Mebane'. Kenmore Lyons. Wensleydale Bel pe r. Talbot de'Malabble Of 'liege, all arc entirely new creations, excepting , of Lord Cowley, who waa 'aimed to the rank oF an E and those of Lords Kentnare and Talbot de Wahl who were before Irish peer. Two ont of the el. recipientm may be said to have received their hot,tr . . .  1857. Cowley. Ewersley. F.bory. Macaulay, a, Chasliam.  a proper recognition of distinguished puhlie vices. These are Lords Lyons and Eversley. But shall be said of the others upon the list who been thus unceremoniously thrust into the Hon Peers? If we take Lord Wensleydale's case as the favourable, we -must candidly admit that many mo, tinguished lawyers have failed to rpap such a re. Yet Baron Parke is a good man, and we are not di,,  to find fault with that particular appnintinent. A the liamentabie miscarriage of the scheme for emat  . .„ life pee'-ogee, the least Ministers c .nll do wtv Baron Parke what must in his case prove only a ;ife peerar4e. Having disposed of these three case., recipients of the royal favour remain whose sole mvr:t was their unflinching devotion to Whig leader.. Lord, Avelvnd, Be!per, Kenmare, Cowley, Bury, Talhn7 Malahide, Macaulay, and Chesham, have no claims whit. ever upon any government for the greatness that las been thrust upon them. They have proved them.,, partizans in the fullest sense of the term, and elevation in rapid succession must convince other I), liamentary aspirants of the same class and Calibre . . .  such prizes are within their graap.—London Heral  MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF THE HEIR PP,E SUMPTIVE TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE On Tuesday the Coroner held an inquiry at th Lamb and Flag Tavern, James Street, Manchestc Square, London, into the circumstances ait(rdi,; . . . ". " '  the melancholy suicide of Thomas Willoughby, a 56, who was stated to be heir presumptive to Middleton estates.  It appeared that the deceased, although entitled, according to the-deeds produced by his widow, to the Middleton estates, lived in James Street, carry, on the business of a butcher in that thorough*. fare. Latterly, in consequence of the great dullness in trade he had got into pecuniary difficulties, whith greatly preyed on his mind; but there was nothio, although he attempted a rash act of the kind somt four years ago, to lead his family to suppose that he would inflict bodily harm on himself. However, os the day of his melancholy end he retired, as he stattd, to rest himself for a couple of hours in his room. As he did not make his re-appearance at the exp'ra, Lion of that period, some parties went up to his becl room, when a horrible spectacle presented itself, the hapless deceased lying in a corner of the apartmn: with a deep gash across his throat. A razor witi which he committed the appalling deed was by hit side, and so determined appeared to have been the,, that death must have immediately followed.. The jury, acting upon the recommendation of the Coroner, recorded as their verdict—' That the deceased committed suicide, but there was no evi. dence as to the state of his mind at the time.'
