SCANDAL—The Princess of Lieven has demi-officially announced her intention of leaving England at an early period, never to return. Her highness, whose political information and sagacity are considered extraordinary, is supposed to he influenced in her determination by an impracticability, which has latterly been experienced in a quarter from which other sentiments were confidently expected. It is even whispered, that in some recent discussions a tone of acrimony, and something very nearly approaching to menace, escaped the fair diplomatist, without, however' producing any visible change in the person to whom they were addressed. This sang-froid was taken extremely in.—Morning Chronicle.

Sures TO THE DUKE OF WELLING-rota—The meeting of noblemen -and gen. damn coanected with Ireland, for the purpose of raisiug, a fund to commemorate; the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill, by the erection of a statue to the Duke of Wellington, was held on Wednesday in the London Tavern. The Duke of Leinster, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Darnley, the Earl a Bective, the Earl of Cork, Lord Shannon, Lord Stourton, Lord Clifford, Lord Dimity, Lord Stafford, Lord Gosford, Lieutenant-General Thornton, the Knight of Kerry, Sir C. Coote, Bart, M.P. the Hon. George Agar Ellis, the Hon. Mr. Jerningham, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, and a long list of other public men and private persons of respectability—nearly five hundred in the whole—attended the meeting. Earl Fitzwilliain was called to the chair. The Duke of Leinster, Lord Stourton, and Lieutenant-General Thornton, in the brief speeches which they made in introducing a resolution of gratitude to the King for assenting to the repeal of the Test Acts, and recommending to Parliament the removal of the Catholic disabilities, gave ample praise to the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. J. N. Mahon rated his merits higher than those of all other emancipators—Burke Fox, Pitt, Gratton, and Canning, who died, like the Leader of Israel, in sight of the promised land. The Marquis of Downshire, and Lords Darnley, Dundas, Killeen, Clifford, and DunaIly, also poured out their thanks to his Majesty ; and gratefully assented to an address congratulating the Sovereign on the success of his recommendation to Parliament. The Rev. Mr. Courtney spoke to the immediate beneficial effects of the measure. He was an Irish proprietor, the owner of an estate in the county of Wexford ; a place once the very focus of rebellion, but now, through the agency of this great measure, restored to peace and harmony. His rent-roll exhibited a mournful picture of times past—he might refer to a long list of tenants, who were shot or hanged ; but all this was now done away with. He believed his estate in the county of Wexford was at present worth more by ten years' purchase than it lately was. Mr. C. O'Dwyer was of opinion, that the emancipation of Ireland " from rags, hunger, and degradation," would not be complete until the landlords, who drew immense revenues from Ireland, returned to spend them at home. The Earl of Bective and the Honourable Mr. Jerningham carried a vote of thanks to Mr. Peel. Mr. Moore, the poet of Ireland, spoke next, and was received with extraordinary marks of approbation. There was, he believed, a superstitious notion among the ancients, that in their battles the shades of the dead stood beside them in the ranks and helped to achieve their triumphs. Certainly it had been so in this great combat : in it the great and eloquent dead, still living in the words of wisdom they had left behind them, were present with their mighty aid, and the conquerors fought under the shadow-of their shields. It was pleasant to look back upon past proceedings: still the pleasure was mingled with a degree of astonishment at the strange shifting of the political scene which had brought him malcontent—Irishman, in short—to appear there as the eulogist of a Prime Minister of Great Britain, and a voter for a statue. Pope used to say that he would never be worth a groat, for he was born a Papist and a poet. "Now gentlemen, (continued Mr. Moore) this saying of Pope, with the simple alteration of poet to poetaster, will be exactly applicable to me. (Laughter.) But I add a third office to the catalogue, and so far I have the advantage of Pope. I claim to be a prophet also. Many years ago, after the great victories of the illustrious Duke, I followed up the conqueror's renown with that sort of penny-trumpeteulogium which a small poet—in all respects small—could contribute. I afterwards regretted that praise, and became for the time an example of the truth of an assertion of Dr. Johnson—that poets are generally in too great a hurry; but I now blush no longer at it, since the Duke of Wellington is not only the conqueror of other lands, but the pacificator of his own. (Cheers.) I congratulate you upon this event, and also that it has been attended with no bad consequences, in spite of all auguries to the contrary. But I ant wrong. Addison makes his Tory fox-hunter say, there has been no good weather since the Revolution. In that respect we also have cause ofcomplaint, sinceehe passing of the relief bill, but it is the only one." (Laughter.) Mr. Lawless momentarily embarrassed the meeting by proposing a resolution of special thanks to the Marquis of Anglesey for his conduct as Viceroy of Ireland. The noble chairman thought the motion

irrelevant to the object of the meeting ; and the Committee, who had prepared the other resolutions, seemed in a dilemma; but the Earls of Darnley aud Bective, and

the Honourable Mr. Clifford, espoused the resolution. Mr. O'Connell approved

the generous ardour which dictated it, but opposed it on formal grounds. Mr. Mahon put an end to the difficulty, by stating that the Marquis of Anglesey, waving

all personal feelings on the subject of his dismissal, was himself to become a sub scriber to the statue to the Minister. Mr. Henry Hunt once or twice spoke ; but he wandered from the subject to that of tithes and the Irish Church establishment.

After a long sederunt, the meeting brought its labours to a happy conclusion, by resolving to erect a statue to the Duke of Wellington, on the base of which is to be inscribed the names of the leading advocates of the Catholic cause.

PAUPER LUNATICS.—AI a meeting of the Niddlesex Magistrates on Tuesday Mr. Sergeant Pell moved that the sum of 123,730/. 13s. 10d. should be voted,

for the erection of a Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Sir George Farrant opposed the motion, and presented petitions against the erection of the building, from the parishes of St. James and St. George. The Reverend Dr. Wellesley also pre sented a petition from the parochial committee of St. Luke's. It was suggested by Mr. Briscoe, that the asylum should be made to accommodate only three hundred patients, in place of six hundred. Mr. Sergeant Pell adopted the proposition. and the sum being limited to 50,000/. a vote for that amount was carried by twenty-eight to twenty-one.

HUMANE SOCIETY.—The anniversary dinner was given on Monday, at the City of London Tavern. The Chairman, Sir Edward Codrington, in proposing the

health of the Duke of Clarence, announced, that, the newspaper reports of his Royal Highness's illness had been altogether exaggerated. Medals were awarded to various persons for acts of humanity: one to William Rose, who, though having

only one leg, succeeded in saving the life of a man who was drowning in the Regent's Canal; another was conferred upon a Mr. Jenkins, for restoring a man who had banged himself, and had been suspended for about ten minutes.

SOUTHWARK BRIDGE.—A meeting of the shareholders was held at the London Tavern on Tuesday, to receive the report of the Directors. The amount of the

From what the Chairman stated, there appears no flattering prospect of a dividend being soon paid on the original capital. Some improvements on the line of communication on the Southwark side of the Bridge were suggested, and referred to the Directors.
