Mr. Justice Pattison has announced his intention to resign his

office of l'ttisne Judge in the Queen's Bench, before next circuit-time ; a public loss, the more to be deplored as it proceeds from no decay of mind or abatement of will in one of our best judges, but only from the increase of his personal infirmity of deafness.

Hr. Gutzlaff, the Chinese scholar and missionary, died at Hongkong on the 9th August, in his forty•eighth year.
