COMMISSIONER OF BANERUPTS.—The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. Blunt, of the Chancery Bar, to the Connuissionership of Bank- rupt, vacant by the death of :11e. Impey.

The appointments are merely for the dispatch of present business.

QUARRELS OF GREAT STATESMEN.—II is runioured that a serious mis- understanding has arisen between Sir Robert Peel and one of the Anti- Reform leaders.

STOCKS.—The Tories of Halifax have in- vited one of the sons of the Earl of Harewood to offer himself as a can- didate for the representation of that town, and Mr. Lascelles has declared that he will be proud to accept the honour.- Michael Stocks, Esq. has aspired to the same honour. Query, Can there be any connexion be- tween these facts and Lord Ilarewood's attempt to get Mr. Stocks re- moved from the commission ?—Leeds Mercury. LORD PALSIERSTON.—It is said that the noble Secretary will be returned for the borough of Westbury. Westbury seems to be the general asylum for the destitues of the Universities. AIR.

Sir Richard Simeon, of St. John's, is spoken of as the intended member for the island. Sun Wii.ria-Scirrv.—We are so much accustomed to the is defieate and unfeeling manner in which the *nestle concerns of Sir Walter

Scott are ofteh and ignorantly brought before. the public, that we have

ceased 'to notice them. At present, however, it. mar not be amiss to say, that the health of that eminent person is excellent ; and' that he is just about to undertake an extensive Highland tourotecompanied by Mr. Lockhart, and other members of his family.—Edinburgh Weekly Journal; the BEST authority on the subject.

RAJAH OF TANJORE'S DEETS.—The Commissioners have made their seventh and last report. " We have completed," they say, " the investi- gation and the adjudication of every MOM on which the Commissioners at Madras have transmitted their final reports." [A Morning Paper asks, " What will become of the Boerd—will it be dissolved.'" If not dissolved, we have no doubt it will be broken :small enough; there were some serious splits in it before the last report was agreed to.] DUCHESS OP Benni.—A French paper says, that the domestic dis- agreeables to which this volatile Princess was continually exposed in the gloomy circle at liolvrood Haase, was the real cause of her returning to her own country. The old Duchess of Angottliene, always morose, has now. it is said, become intolerable to all those about her.

POOR PRINCE OF ORANGE !—[t is not a little remarkable that Prince Leopold has supplanted the Peinee of. Orange on two very inter- esting occasions.

The Prince of Orange expected to succeed to the Sovereignty of Belgium, but Prince Leopold is preferred.— Worcester Journal.

EVEN FROM TILE Tosei Tim VOICE OF HUMEUG clues.—The la te Mr Elliston has directed, in his will, that his funeral shall be quite unosten- tatious. He has been very minute in his directions, even to the colour of the nails on his coffin, and the inscription to be placed on its lid, which is to be in Latin.—Daily Papers.

shire Telegraph. .

Is THERE NO BALM Pi GILEAD P—At Tewkesbury, there was lately an election for a sexton, the contest being between a Reformer and an Anti- Reformer. The Anti-Reformer was the successful candidate by a majo- rity of three to one.—Bristol Journal. [We understand that the Anti- Reforming sexton has offered, to bury the present opponents of the Bill for half price ; and if lie hold office fur half et dozen of years, he will do the same service gratis by all that remain. Lord Eldon has added a co- dicil to his will, directing his reineins to be conveyed to Tewkesbury as soon as he has done with them ; and he hopes all the Pitt Club, on the ground of principle and interest, will follow his example.] HIDE AND GO SEEK.—On Saturday evening, a young couple arrived in Sheffield with the intention of being privately married the following morning. The fair one-was conveyed to the house of a relative, and the lover had recourse to a private lodging: When the expectant bridegroom rose on the Sunday morning, most unhappily for both, he had forgotten the street and house where he left his intended partner !

The town does not con- tain two thousand inhabitants.— Westmoreland Advertiser. [We would be inclined to call such a specimen a very unfair one ; but we suppose we must take as fair whatever these people choose to give us.] MEAT ON Sagenosys—In a few weeks more, the Roman Catholics of Ireland will have indulgence for meat on Saturdays, as their brethren in England now enjoy. The subject has been under consideration of the Prelates of their Church.—Corp Reporter.

Throughout the West Riding of York, the corn presents an appearance of health and vigour which has seldom been surpassed, and gives the most cheering prospect of an abundant crop. The hay harvest is fast approaching to a favourable conclusion. " Hay harvest," says the Aberdeen Chronicle, " commenced in this neighbourhood last week, and is now pretty general ; but the .crop on the the whole will prove light, owing to the cold spring and continued drought."
