EXOLAND.—Amitsw Amos, Beg., M.A., and formerly Fel-
low of Trinity College, has been snanienoully selected us the
soca-rear in thin professorship of the late lamented Professor
latarkie by the electors, who are the Archbishops of Canter-
bury and York, and the Masters of St. John's, Clue Hall,
and Downing. Tn. Cantu** CArowicla, in allusion to this
appisintment, says The various grounds of Mr. Amoe's
eminent fitness for this chair are too well known to require
enumeration. Since, however, this professorship has ac-
quired additional importance in Ommoquence of the scheme
for prober: Pried lectures lately adopted rq the Senate, it may
be as well to mention that in addition to other qualificuierie
as well pasonal as prciecional, Mr. Amos was, toy Averse.,
one of the four members of the Supreme Council of
and that during this period he had the principal cisme ot
the wig-legislation of that important colony, vested in tke
Goversor-Oeural by the last charter. Since his »tura from
bilk he his bees a amber of the sesusisics fra revidai

the criminal laws, and 5153 judge during the last two yeah
of a very populous metropolitan district of enmity court'.
We may add that Mr. Amoe's eminent success as • lecturer
to large law clams in London, at Univanty College,
furnishes the best gammas* for the efficient (Barbary of the
more immediate duties of his new office."
