A correspondent of the Morning Post states, that a letter

has been received at Birmingham from Sir Eardley Wilmot, announcing that he has been appointed Governor of Van Diemen's Land ; which creates a vacancy in the representation of North Warwickshire. The Conserva- tives immediately took steps to provide a successor ; and they have put forward Mr. Charles Newdegate Newdegate, of Arbury Hall, near Atherstone, as their candidate.

The present Governor of Van Diemen's Land is Sir John Franklin, the Arctic traveller ; who will scarcely regret being released from his troublesome and thankless post. To make it tolerable, sweeping changes of some kind are evidently necessary.
