POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Standard to-night promulgates an on dit, that Lord GLENELG "has obtained an order for a pension of 2000/. per annum ; " and pre- sumes that it is "preparatory to his Lordship's retirement, which we announced some weeks since." A timely consciousness, however, leads our ingenuous contemporary to apprehend, that the present an- nouncement will be accredited only " as one of the lies of the Standard;" and modestly insinuates the kind reminiscence of a correspondent, that the Standard's lies " are commonly admitted truths before the month's and, and always before the conclusion of the quarter." For our own pint, we cannot call to mind any instances of even this tardy atonement to injured innocence. In the case before us, we have much reason for believing that the Standard's story, guarded as it is by unusual caution, has no foundation in truth.
