Yesterday afternoon, at t...
Yesterslay afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Cou!.cil was hel(I at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affiirs, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, th e Earls of Liverpool and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequier, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Wyni, Mr. Hus- kisson, &c. The Cabinet did not break up till a quarter past five o'clock. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Deceinber 1, 1824.:" The expedition which this Government has so long announced as fitting out against Brazil, has termi- nated as I always prophesied and advised you it would. The Minister of N4arine has just issued orders for all the ships of war of which it was to have been composed to be dismantled, except two frigates, the Perola and Prineeza Real, two corvettes, the Lealdade and Ilfante Doa Miguel, and two brigs, wvhich are retained in commission as guarda costas, and to eruise in the Metliterranean ; but it is thought, the Treasury having been completely exhausted by the preparations for this expedition, that eyen those fewr shipr cannot long be kept in commnission." Last niglht Sir Anthony Carlisle, in concluding his ar- nual course of Lectures on Aniatomy at the Royal Academy, intitqated his determination to resign, as his Professorship in that establishment interfered too much with his other duties, and in particular with the calls of suffering hu- manity, to which he wislhed to devote the whole of his time and experience. Ee recommended the election of a younger Professor. We noticed some days ago, one of those publications which this season renders acceptable,as presents to the young of both sexes. We have since met with another, entitled ' Thte Literary Soituenir ;" and wvhether we loak to the finely-executed engravings, or the elegant copies of verses whichi adorn its pages, we cannot imagine a rmore classical and agreeable offiering of friendship or afflection. 'The con,- tributors are many of them persons of established reputa- tion, and some of the poems will do no discredit to their names. Ainotlher work of the same kind, under the name of Hommage a2ux Davzes, is by no means undeserving of pa- tronage ;, though, with the exception of one poem, called a Scene from a Manuseripl Drama, the poetry is very inferior to the prints; which, however, are very good.
