Captain DEANS DUNDAS has been giving his constituents a dinner,

at Devizes. The only point in the proceedings worth notice, is the declaration of the gallant Clerk of the Ordnance, that "but for his support of the Ballot, he might have held office long ago ;" that the mtuation he held "had now been most handsomely offered him notwith. Standing his support of that measure ;" and that his constituents "would find him the same man he had ever been "—in other words, that he would continue to vote for the Ballot. Thus, to Captain DUNDAS, as well as to Mr. ROBERT STEUART and Sir HUSSF.Y

the Ballot is an open question, as it might be to any other official idle dared to call his soul his own.
