Mr. Belford, or Bedford Wilson, is to be Consul-General in Peru. This person I take to be a son of Sir Robert Wilson, who was in the military service of Colombia as Adjutant or Aide-de-camp to Bolivar. Mr. Wilson may be, for aught I know, a brave soldier ; but I am sure he possesses no qualification to recommend him as a commercial agent. I say this deliberately, from having seen something of him in South America. I am, therefore, at a loss to find a sufficient cause for this appointment, except it be as a reward to the ex-member for Southwark, for having betrayed the cause of Reform ; for which service to the Tories, some secret influence, more powerful than Lord Grey's, now procures this sinecure for his son. Sinecure it ought not, and would

not be to any qualified person ; but that it will be so in the hands of Mr. Wilson, no one who knows him will for a moment doubt.-0. P. Q. in the Itforning Chronicle.
