The Waterloo banquet at Apaley House went off last night
with fine spirit. There were eighty-four of the Duke's companions in fight ; and among them Sir Harry Smith, whose health was proposed by the Duke, and drunk by the warrior guests, with especial emphasis. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts met in dignified force yesterday, to greet by a formal address the Bishop of Mi- chigan and the Bishop of Western New York, " as representatives of the more than thirty Bishops whose sees are planted in the United States of America."
It is understood that, in consequence of the proximity of the dissolu- tion of Parliament, no writ will be moved for in the room of Lord Man- deville, and Bewdley will consequently be virtually unrepresented in Par- liament for the brief residue of the session.
