Despatches, dated the 29th of May, were received on Tuesday, at the India Board, from the Governor-General of India.
Sir Henry Ellis, who is spoken of as likely to obtain the lucrative appointment of Governor of Bombay, is half-brother to the Earl of
Buckinghamshire, and was some time since sent on a special mission to the Shah of Persia.—Morning Herald.
Among the rumours of the day is one of the intended retirement of Sir John Cam Hobhouse from the Board of Control.—Morning rald. [The rumour, probably, is only founded on the general belief of Sir John's incompetency to perform the duties of his office in times of difficulty. But though incompetent, it does not follow that he should resign.] 't he appointment of Sir J. Carnac, late Chairman of the East India Company, to the Government of Bombay, has taken place, after much hesi tat ion.—Morning Post.
We regret to learn that Mr. Cutler Fergusson, Judge Advocate- General, and M. P. for Cuparshire, is dangerously ill at Paris. We trust the reports which have reached us as to his extreme danger are exaggerated.—Globe. [Where is " Cuparshire ?" The Globe will find it as difficult to discover that county in any of the Three King- doms, as Lord Spencer's sick daughter in London.]
