The Gazette of last night iumeuncee that the Queen has
appointed Lord Monok, the Right Honourable Lord Belper, the Bight Henourable Sir Edward Ryan, Sir Alexander Young Spearman, Bart., and Thomas Matthias Weguelin, Esq., Governor of the Bank of England, to be Com- missioners to inquire into the eXiBli4Ig regulations under which allow- ances on retirement are granted to persons who have held civil offices in her Majesty's aervi,e.
It was by an inadvertence that we described Mr. Stuart Wortley, the new Solicitor-General, as having been a member of Lord Derby's Govern- ment. Mr. Wortley was appointed Judge-Advocate by Sir Robert Peel, in 1846; in July of the same year he returned to the bar, and continued to practise in the higher courts until he was made Recorder of London, in 1850.
As to the vacant office of Recorder of London, the Court of Aldermen are said to be agreed that it would be absolutely impossible to overlook the claims of Mr. Russell Gurney, at present Common Sergeant.
