The following notice has been issued from the Vice-Chamberlain's Office—" It is particularly requested, that all ladies attending the Drawing-room will appear in dresses of British manufacture." The Queen is at all times a strict observer of this rule.

A paragraph has gone the round of the newspapers, stating that Mr. Justiee Pell was to succeed Mr. Baron Garrow ; Mr. Williams Mr. Justice Pell ; and Mr. N. D. Hill to be the new Commissioner. We understa:id that there is no foundation for any of these reported changes.

In the Chronicle of the 21st January, appeared a communication from a correspondent, on the subject of the claims of Sir Augustus D'Este and Miss ])'Este, in which it is stated that this question has disturbed the even and festive life of the Royal Circle at Brighton ; that certain individuals of his Majesty's family had been the cause of these claims not meeting with the usual kind and generous consideration of an amia- Me sovereign ; and that the rank of Marquis's son had been offered to Sir Augustus, and indignantly refused. We have authority for stating, in the most distinct manner, that there has never been the slightest difference or misunderstanding between any of his Majesty's children and Sir Augustus D'Este, and that no title of Marquis's son was ever offered to hi m.—.27fornilly Chronicle.

Lord Lowther is again in Parliament. Holding his Lordship's op- litics in ntter disesteem, we respect the integrity a zid useful talents of the individual, and would be glad to see a greater number of such men on either sile of the House of Commons. During the Cumberland election, a :.taach supporter of the Whig Government declared that, Whig ::s he was, be should vote for Lord Lowther as an anti-jobber, and one uf tile most efficient public servants while in office.

A new writ has been ordered for Ennis, in the room of the Right Honourable V csey Fitzgerald, now Lord Fitzgerald and Vesey.

The public sale of birds of game terminated yesterday, under a penalty of ii. a head. On the trial of Hunt v. Lawson the other day, Sir James Searlett amused the Court with his knowledge of impinges. The Times hail called the member a recreant (not a miscreant), and Sir James expressed surprise at the offence taken at the term;— " which, if properly defined, was neither more nor less than Re- former." As Sir James has said that be is still a Reformer in a sense; he cannot, after this definition, be offended if wd style him the Recreant Knight. We must, however, set him right in his etymology : the word does not come, as Kr James imagines, from re and cream ; in which case it would signify much the same thing as A.M.:Her ; but from re and Credere.• A recreant, strictly speaking, is one who, having pro- fessed the true faith, afterwards falls away. One who abandons hiS principles, who quits his standard, who deserts his friends, is a recreant. One who, having professed himself a Reformer, afterwards joins the enemies of Reform, is a recreant, and a sorry recreant too. Munden the comedian died on Monday, at his house in Bernard Street, Russell Square. He was in the seventy-fourth year of his age. Mundell was the son of a poulterer in Brook's Market, Leather Lane, Holborn. His father died when he was young ; and at the age of twelve, he was placed in an apothecary's shop. Getting tired of physic, he took to the law ; and from an attorney's office Ile descended to a law-stationer's shop, and became what is termed a "hackney-writer" to a law-stationer. His first regular engagement on the stage was in the representation of old men at Leatherhead. He led the actors' customary provincial round at the theatres, and soon became a partner in the Sheffield theatre. On the 2nd December 1790, a few nights after Incledon's first appearance, Mundell made his bow to the Covent Garden audience as Sir F. Gripe in the Busy Body, and Jemmy Jumps in The Farmer. He was the original representative of Old Rapid, Caustic, Lazarillo, NiPperhin, Sir Abel Handy, and Old Damien. In 1813, in consequence of a quarrel respecting the amount of his salary, he joined the Drury Lane company. There he remained until the 31st May 1824; when he took his farewell of the public in the charac- ter of Sir Robert Bramble in the Poor Gentleman.

In 1830, out of 1,397 persons condemned to death in England, 46 only were executed.

On Sunday the 15th January, the Honourable and Reverend Mr. Spencer preached his first sermon from a Catholic pulpit to a very crowded audience, in the church of Gesu e Maria at Rome. His man- ner of delivery reminded me much of his brother, Lord Althoep. He appears most zealous in his sacerdotal vocation ; nor spared he his Pro- testant brethren, who formed the greatest portion of his congregation, but invoked them to follow his example, and concluded by attributing the present evils that overhung his country to the want of a true spirit of religion in England. Mr. Spencer has not as yet been ordained, having only received the order of Deaconship a few days before Christ- mas.—Correspondent of Times.

An operation was performed on a seaman' named Robert Syms, be- longing to his Majesty's ship Belvidera, in August last, which led to .a very strange discovery. The Belvidera was on the Mediterranean station at the time. The man had complained for some time of pain in his right shoulder, where a swelling was perceived, which was treated as a common boil. After the supposed boil, however, was lanced, the sore was perceived to originate in some foreign body lodged in the back. On the 5th August, this body was removed by Dr. Burnes, Assistant-Surgeon, and proved to be a rather large- sized table-fork, the handle of which and part of one of the two 'prongs were broken short. What is still more surprising, every mica-

• vour to discover how it got there has proved unavailing. The man persists in asserting that he is quite ignorant on the subject, and nobody .else knows any thing about it. The conjecture is, that he had received it in some brawl, not quite creditable, and which he has some reason for not acknowledging. The fork is in London, in Dr. Burnes's pos- session: it was supposed by some persons that inspected it to be fo- reign ; but better judges (and among them old Mr. Still, the surgical .instrument-maker) declare it is genuine English.

The quantity of cotton imported into France during the last year, .amounted to 220,668 bales, being 63,000 bales less than in 1830, and 31,000 less than in 1829. During the last ten years, France has consmned 2,411,000 bales ; making an average of 241,100 bales per annum.

Napoleon had so strong a predilection for dresses made of batiste .muslin, that, by his own avowal, " his heart beat with violence when- ever he remarked a female habited in this slender covering."

.....At the ball given at Logicalmond House, on the occasion of Sir .John Stewart's marriage, there were nine individuals invited whose ;united ages amounted to 728 years.

A few days since, a woman named Jane Grey died, at Garmouth, at the very advanced age of 113. She retained her faculties and moved - about till within six weeks of her death.

There are now living, within a short distance of Gloucester, four --brothers, whose united ages amount to three hundred and nineteen years. __John Davis, labourer, eighty-two; Joseph Davis, eordwainer, eighty- one ; William Davis, fisherman, seventy-nine ; and James Davis, labourer, seventy-seven. They are all freemen of Gloucester, and at present in the enjoyment of good health.

In the place of the volcanic island between Sciacca and Pantelleria, there is now seen a column of boiling water about twenty-four feet in diameter, rising between ten and thirty feet above the surface of the sea, and exhaling a strong bituminous odour.

According to a law in Frankfort, not more than fifteen Jews are al- lowed to marry within twelve months ; this law is about to be altered by increasing the number of marriages. The Senate will not venture o gn so rcat an innovation as the abrogation of the law.

t has been observed that Washington seldom smiled, and never laughed. " This," says a writer in a late New York paper, " is not correct. I was informed the other day, by a gentleman venerable for his age and information, that he had seen Washington nearly convulsed with laughter. At the time that our troops were encamped at Cam- bridge, information was received at head-quarters that the English were about leaving Boston to give them battle. All was bustle and confusion. The soldiers were strolling over the town, and the officers were but ill prepared for the approaching rencounter. Some of the 'generals were calling for their horses, and others for their arms ; and among the rest was General Green at the bottom of the stairs, bawling .to the barber for his wig. 'Bring my wig, you rascal, bring my wig.' -General Lee diverted himself and the company at the expense of 'Green. ' Your wig is behind the looking-glass, Sir.' At which Green, :raising his eyes, perceived by the mirror that his wig was where it should be—on his head. Washington, in a fit of laughter, threw him- self on the floor, and the whole group presented rather a ludicrous spectacle." .
