The Duke of Richmond, who is to move the vote

of censure ou Monday, has altered the form of his motion, so as to make the censure independent of the second reading of the Army Regula- tion Bill, though preliminary to it, and indicating their Lordships' willingness to give the Government the spoonful of jam the moment the medicine is swallowed. Lord Granville, we are sure, will take his dose very prettily ; we trust he will not be too grateful for the jam, which is not really meant for the Government at all, but only given to the officers of the Army through them.
