The King, it seems, has made Lord Durham a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, in token of the Royal approbation of his Lordship's diplumatic services at St. Petersburg. Unless such gewgaws have an especial value in the eyes of Lord Durham, be will scarcely feel the bestowal of them an honour, when he learns that, the week before, the King gave a baronetcy to Sir Francis Head as a reward for conduct which, if truly reported, would deserve impeachment.
Lord Radnor has published a stupid letter to the Master of Pem- broke College, Oxford, in justification of II statement made by him in the House of Peers, and which the Oxford gentleman contradicted— that Pembroke College refused to make any reforms in its rules. The difference between the Peer and the " Master" is really of very little importance, and seems to rest upon a mere quibble. An address from the Orange-Tories of Dublin has been presented to Sir Francis Burdett ; and the reply of Sir Francis is published iii the Times. It is mere twaddle about the union of Protestants for the preservation of the Union with Ireland maid the "glorious constitution of this great Protestant state."
