official residence in Downing-street.
A deputation from the lucid board of Worcester bad an

dence in Downing•street.

afternoon for the reception of the foreign ministers at the

COLONELCT OP THE 50TH REGIMENT.—We hear
that Major-General Sir William Chalmers, K.C.H.,
is to succeed Major-General Allan, who died on the
17th instant, as colonel of the 50th regiment. The
late General Allan was only appointed in October,
1852, and for the last few years this regiment has
been peculiarly unfortunate in losing its colonels.

THE VACANT SEES.—" A letter we have received
this morning (The Guardian of yesterday says), dated
' Lincoln, Tuesday afternoon,' says, 'Dr. Hook is the only
name currently reported in the diocese as likely to succeed
Dr. Kaye in the See of Lincoln. It would, we believe, be
satisfactory to all parties in the diocese, ass working bishop
is so much needed.' In London, Dr. Jacobson and Dr. Jell
are freely named, but of course without any authority. It
is considered probable that Dr. Tyrrell, Bishop of New-
castle, will be raised to the Metropolitan See of Sydney."
THE BISHOP OF LLANDAPP,—In consequence of
the Bishop of Lincoln's death, the Bishop of Llandaff will
succeed to a seat in the House of Lords, but the new Bishop
of Lincoln will not be entitled to a seat in parliament until
a vacancy shall occur in the episcopal bench, other than the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of Lon-
don, Durham, and Winchester. This arrangement takes
place under the provisions of the act constituting the new
bishopric of Manchester.
