Sir John Nichol' has resigned the offices of Judge of

the Prerogative Court and Dean of the Arches, retaining that of Judge of the Admiralty Court. Sir Herbert Jenner, the King's Advocate, is ap- pointed to the posts vacated by Sir John Nichol'. No person is yet, it is understood, nominated King's Advocate. Dr. Lushington has declined this office.— Times.

Tuesday's Gazette contains the appe!ntment of Sir Charles Christopher Pepys to the Mastership of the Rolls, as successor to Sir John Leach.

The office of Solicitor-General, vacant by the promotion of Sir Charles Pepys to the Rolls, has not been filled ; though Mr. Bickerseth will, it is reported, most probably be appointed to it.

Dr. Gray, the Bishop of Bristol, died at Clifton on Sunday last, after a long illness, though his death was rather sudden.

Lord Althorp, contrary to previous report, it seems, did not entertain any party during the Doncaster Races ; so that his Lordship's absence from the Whig gathering at Edinburgh can admit but of one construc- tion—unwillingness to be there.—Herald.

Mr. Stanley, after an extended visit to his friend Sir James Graham, at Netherby Hall, near Carlisle, has returned to spend the autumn at Knowsley Hall.

Earl Grey remains on intimate terms with the Duke of Richmond; but his former intimacy with the Lord Chancellor has undergone a con- siderable change, which is expected to be more apparent than it is at present when Parliament next meets.—Morning Post.

Sir Edward Sugden, who has purchased Boyle Farm, now comes to town, from Thames Ditton, in a superior wherry of his own, rowed by expert watermen.
