The Fate of Lord Deerhurst.
A Memsourhd correspondent writes :—•* "Although young ladies generally associate a- tondon journal style of naughtiness' with lardlings, it is earnestly to be hoped that in making his next selection of. an aide-de-eaanp His Excellency the Governlor will receive the services of a gentleman whose view of life is that an associate of the Governor should bear at least an outwandly respectable character. It is, understood that Lord Deerhurst "is aboat to take his departure from the colony in liord Dudley's yacht, and that the gazetting of his resignation is merely held over wntil there is a strip of sea between him and %he colony. By the time he reaches home ns the yacht is on a cruise, this little scandal will have blown over, and though he is now in one sense sent to Coventry, that being his ancestral seat will not hurt him much, and as English society, like a Melbourne police magistrate, judges a lord by a different rule to that which would be applied to, a reputable citizen, he will be welcomed and we shall soon hear that the little colonial tarnish has been rrtbbed off, and that my lord has taken his seat amongst the Peera (to legislator other people.
