74TH HIGHLANDERS —These appointments are still cacao:.
It is, however, still the impres►ion in military circles that the
Duke et Ouebeidge will the late duke u Colonel of

as likely to succeed to the 74th, viz.. either Sir James Rey-
, tut, or fdsjor-General Lightfoat, C.B. Should the Duke of
Cambridge be appointed Colonel of the Coldstream Guards
the Coloneley of the 17th Lancers will be vec.int, and Majar-
tieneral Burchier, S.C., wh served in Ezypt in 1801, in
the Peninsular war, and at Waterloo, is likely to succeed to
the 17th Lancers.

Tee Bomsax COMMAND —At already intimated in the
B.press, Lieutenent•General Sir William Gomm is to
succeed Lieutenant•Gcneral Sir Charles Napiir as Com-
mas der-in-Chief in the East India, and it is further ar-
ranged that Sir William Gomm will be succeeded by Major-
General Sir Johu Grey in the command at Bombay.
E'raLot oft REOCLATIONS (CONITINY'S TROOPS).—The
receipt of despatches at the India House from the Gover-
nor-General on the subject of a revision of these reati:a-
tions,is likely very shortly to bring the subject eghin under
the consideration of the Court of Directors. We have
learned from an influential quarter that the basil of any
arretigement that may be effect. d will be the rendering of
furloughs available more frequently, say at interval of seven
years; the retention of military, staff, and civil appoint•
meats by absentees, in providing for the due performance of
their duties, and the receipt 01 toll pay by regimental offi-
cers. This desirable improvement cannot, however, ba car-
ried out until the sanction of parliament is &gained ; and,
as the East India C unpany's charter must soon expire, it is
proiosed to embody the-e furlough regulations in the act of
renewal.—llona \ ems.

Mr. Conisiisi3lier Law said there was a great discrepancy
between the judge and the defendant. The warrant of the
judge recited that Pe did not attend at all, valid the oath

It apreated from a diecutsion flitch took phiee between
Mr. Horsy and the Commissioner that 'he defendant bad
no attorney in his present application, but that he (Mr.

hoped the court would grant a warrant of dischaig., which
would supersede hi warrant of commitment of Mr. Se:keen

Mr. Commissioner Law carefully went over tho ate. and
