Yesterday, in the House of Lords. Lord Lyndhurst reversed Lord Brougham's Chute c • decision :ie.:limit Lord Durham, in the case of Wharton versus Dm mon. To this decision there hangs a curious tale. Some months ago it was predicted, that Lord Brougham would not make his appearance in the House of Peers until this judgment of his had been reversed. We suppose that Lyndhurst (sly fellow !) knew this to be true, and therefore kept the decision back till the last day of the session. in die mean time, the "cock of the walk " has had the dunghill all to himself—no wonder that he crows so crouse According to a report at St. Petersburg, the truth of which we can- not guararree, Lord Durham is preparing for a voyage to England : at all events his absence would be short. We are assured that his Lord- ship continues to ettjoy the most distinguished and personal favours of the powerful Monarch at whose Court he has the honour to represent his Sovereign.—Journal de Franhbrt, Aug. 13.
