Mr. William Holmes, M.P., is on a visit to Sir Robert Peel, at Drayton Park.

The present mansion of the right honourable gentleman, in Mansfield Street, Portland Place, is to be given up. The Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer represents and possesses the estates of two ancient families settled in Ireland in the reign of Elizabeth— the Rices of Mount Trenchard and the Springs of Castlemaine. Of Mr. Spring Rice's ancestors, James Rice was made Count of the Holy Roman Empire by Joseph the Second ; and Sir Stephen Rice, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in the reign of James the Second, was created Lord Monteagle by that monarch after his abdication.—Globe. [What's in the wind now ? Does Mr. Rice wish the nobility of his funnily to be restored ? An Irish peerage would leave him in the House of Com- mons ; and Lord Monteugle would not sound amiss, if it did not remind one of the days of Guy Faux and gunpowder.]
