that Mr. ROBERT GILEME is appointed to the Treasury, and that the representation of the great county of Perth, for which he is a candidate, is to be jobbed.

Is not this an arrange- ment worthy of these days of Reform, and of a Ministry that dis- dains the dirty practices of its predecessors ? After all, then, there is to be a Scotch successor to Mr. KENNEDY; though, as the business has been managed since that gentleman's retirement just as well as before, It would be far better to do away with the superfluous Lordship altogether.
