The Parliamentary records inform us that the Earl of Arundel and Surrey has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. The cause of his retirement can only be guessed at from the following address to the electors of Arun- deL "Gentlemen—Nearly fourteen years have passed since you did me the honour of choosing me as the unpledged and unfettered representative of your ancient borough. I was then young and untried ; but you put your trust in me as one of a house with which the citizens of Arundel had been connected almost since the period of the Norman Conquest,—a house with which they had suffered in the disastrous days of civil warfare, and with which they had shared in the alternations of public prosperity and national adversity. It is with feelings of deep pain that I now feel myself obliged to resign the honourable post in which your kindness has placed me. "I have endeavoured on all occasions to advocate those local interests which came within the sphere of the political station to which you had raised me. In public life I have pursued the course pointed out by nir honest con- victions. I need hardly say that my conduct will be the same if I should be again returned to Parliament by another constituency. 1,‘ Painful as it is to me to make this announcement to you, I have at least the consolation of knowing, that of our long and affectionate connexion I can have no other recollection than the constant reception of your kindness, and on my part those sentiments towards you which that kindness was sure to create. Accept this short assurance of my gratitude and esteem. "I do not wish to enter into a detailed account of the reasons which have induced me to come to this determination. We live in a time of great excite- ment, both religious and political ; and there arc many who are called upon to sacrifice their private inclinations to a deep sense of religious and public duty. "Farewell, then, my dear friends ; but let us still cherish those feelings of mutual kindness and those kindred interests which cannot be severed by the disruption of a merely political tie. Believe me to be your ever grateful and

affectionate friend, ARUNDEL AND SURREY. "11, Carlton Terrace, Monday, July 7, 1851."

Some interest has been excited among English circles in Italy by the sudden arrest of "Lord Aldborough," and his two brothers, at Florence, on a charge of complicity in treasonable machinations against the Tuscan Government. The late Lord Aldborough, an Irish Peer, had lived suc- cessively with three ladies, of whom he declared the last to be his only ktfu/ wife ; and he left her, by will, all his personal property. The marriage is in question, the property is burdened with enormous debts; and the lady, with her three sons, lived in great retirement at a villa near Florence; two daughters having lately been scut to England. Suddenly the villa is invaded by police; iu the second floor are discovered a printing-press and papers of a revolutionary kind, unknown to the lady ; and the youths are seized. The second son has been employed in the office of Mr. Macbean, the English Consul. The English diplomatic authorities are watching the case, and hopes are expressed, that, at the worst, British influence may avail to spare the lives of the young men; but as yet the facts of the charge against them are involved in perfect ob- scurity.

A letter from Constantinople, dated 25th June, says—" You may con- sider the refugee affair as good as settled.

The death of Dr. Moir of Musselburgh, the well-known writer in Black- wood's Magazine under the signature of " Delta," is an event of literary interest. Dr. Moir had gone to visit a friend at Dumfries, and he died there on Sunday morning, after only two or three days' illness. The following notice is from the Edinburgh Advertiser. " Dr. Moir has been long known alike in the medical and in the literary world, and his death will occasion a sad blank in both. As Delta,' Dr. Moir contributed to Blackwood's Ma- gazine almost from its first starting, and he continued to do so to the end. His Lament of Selim ' appears in this month's number ; and a melancholy interest attaches to it as being the last piece the lamented author over wrote. As a critic as well as a writer of poetry he stands deservedly high; and the crowded audiences who last winter attended his lectures on the poetry of the last half-century will long remember them as models of popular criticism— at once clear, condensed, and animated, and delivered with a manner that would have lent interest to far inferior criticism. lie has left a wife and eight children, the eldest of whom is now the wife of Dr. Scott, who for many years has been the able and successful partner of his father-in-law. By all who knew him, and more especially by his fellow-townsmen, Dr. Moir was much beloved ; and, at the urgent request of the inhabitants of Musselburgh, his funeral will be a public one. It is to take place on Thurs- day at two o'clock, in the churchyard of Inveresk, and will doubtless be at- tended by many of his friends and admirers in this city."
