It is stated positively in the Ministerial papers, that Dr. Allen is to be Bishop of Bristol, Dr. Butler Bishop of Lichfield, and Dr. Shut- deworth Bishop of Ripon. We presume that Lord Melbourne has assured himself of the inclination of all these reverend gentlemen to support his Government in the House of Lords : if not, he would have acted more wisely in promoting men of decided and well-known polities, such as Sydney Smith and Dr. Arnold.

There is not the slightest foundation for the statement, again re- peated, that Mr. Steuart, one of the Lords of the Treasury, is to re- ceive an appointment in the projected arrangements in the Post-office department.—Courier. We are given to understand, that the Tyne frigate, Captain Lord- Ing,estrie, has been appointed to take Lord 13rudenell to India; and that, in order to afford the gallant Colonel a convenient place for calm reflection upon his past errors, the he; th at the mast head, formerly occu- pied by Mr. Mortimer Drummond, is to be fitted up expressly for his Lorlship's reception.—C'ourier.

A Mastership in Chancery, now in the gift of the Crown, is vacant by the death of James Trower, Esq. It is rumoured that A. H. Lynch, Esq., Al. P. and barrister at the Chancery Bar, will be the • new Master.— Stuniard.
