Mr. Adam is to go as Governor to Madras in

October, as was contemplated some months ago, in place of the Duke of Buckingham. The Liberals can ill spare him, and we fear Madras is hardly the Presidency which would be most likely to profit by his lucid good-sense and his fine and unfailing sense of justice. In his seat for Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire he will be succeeded, it is said, by the Lord-Advocate, who has now for some time been an exile from the House of Commons.
