Lord Durham and Mr. Edward Olive have left London, for
the Cootittent. f hey arrived at Paris on Monday. bed Dm /min intends to visit his friend King Leopold, at Brussels; with the view, it is said, of' consulting the King respecting the inanagement of his affairs in England. The •F (try papers have been spreadiog a report that Lord Durham's establishment in London is to be broken up, and that his Lordship will reside for sonic time on the Continent. This is an in- vention of the enemy ; Lord Durham will return after the Easter liolydays. and take that lead in the great questions about to come be- fore the House of Lords, which his taleuts, energy, and public spirit qualify him for.
The following strange paragraph appeared yesterday morning in the Times.
" In the autumn of last year—September 12 was the first (Isys—soine adver- tisenients appeared in the Morning Chmnitle ; they were continued at inter- vals till the 27th of February in the present year, at least the one of that date is the last which we have seen. A friend of 011IN, who is skilful in deciphering; assumed chat maga s and who thought at fir.:t that some political nly.tety might be con:Tale(' in this strange guise, took the trouble to examine tie cipher minutely, and soon discovered its key. The advertisements turn out to refer to an amatory, and not a political, intrigue. We will not be mischievous enough to publish all the letters from a married lady to a person 'who is not her lot.band : but, as a salutary warning to the writer, we publish (me which is of
t o gene ml a nature to betray her. " Nfoi :day. Nov. I I, 1833.
" Delrest, kindest, hest of men,--1 am in raptures with yo ..-r kiwi pies. Ills ; and were it not for time support your kind letters give me, and feeling that you do love me. I must certainly sink muter the weight of your kindness; and what oppre,ses me still tn 're is, that I shall never he able to deserve, by all that I can tlo, the least of your th-o. ri. I have to lope but that my future conduct, a dr:to-mina duty, will be ac- ce,o ed. ;mud all imperliTtions forgiven." [The Times, we think, treats the matter too lightly. The infamous and mercenary woman ought to be exposed to her injured husband.] An inquest was held on the 14th iostant at Gorey, in Jersey, on the bady of George Burnett, time master of the smack Frolic, who was shot by one of the crew of the French cutter PEcureuil, off Granville, while fishing within the limits prescribed for the French oyster-fishery. These 1 mils extend in some places to eight miles from the French coast; and iii fogy %venal. r, it is very difficult sometimes to avoid getting within them. 'theme are no restrictive limits on our shores against the French fishermen. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the man who shot Burnett ; whose remains were interred at Gorey on the 16th. Upwards of two hundred persons attended his funeral. The captains and proprietors of oyster-vessels have entered into a liberal subscription for his widow and family. Lieutenant Sparke, a resident in Jersey, and the Solicitor-General of the island, bad an interview with Sir James Graham respecting this affair, on Saturday ; and itap- pears from an answer of Lord Palmerston to Sir John Tyrrell, in the House of Commons, that Government is bestirring itself in the affair.
