The Ist division of the 23 battalion of the 14th
Regiment, embarked, on Saturday afternoon, for
Cork. _ _ _

The 7th light battalion of the Kico's German
Legion, from Copenhagen, have disembarked at
Portsmouth, and marched to Bexhill.
The Court of King's Bench, at Guildhall, is about
to be removed to a situation without. wig Oa Hall.
A new Coale is to be built where the Court of Re•
quests is nowt held. The plan has been submitted
to LOTS ELLessoeouoil, who approves the altera-
tion. The building will form a new wing to the
Guildhall, and will be made. to correspond with
the Justice-room, on the opposite side. At present
the Court is extremely inconvenient.
A spacious Hall, affiied to the &Worts House,
in the Old Bailey, has been built for the accommo-
dation of prosecutors and their witnesses, aho at• .
tend during the Sessions. This is the more desira-
ble, as it /Teo:pen:ly occurs that the Court is detained
waiting for prosecutors, who seek shelter from the
weather in some of the neighbouring public houses,
and cannot be found nfl after diligent and long
search has bees made for them.

A few days ago, as Mr. Colts, of Holkliam, was
in the ad of jumping ores a ditch, he fell in, and
the place being deep and full of clay, he was extri-
cated from it with some difficulty by his sporting
companions ; be has since been confined to his
bout* with a severe cold and lumbago.
At one o'clock, on sthersday morning, died, at
his seat, at Stapleford, in Leicestershire, the Right
Honourable Philip Sherard, Berland Baron of Hay-
boreegh, and Baran et Leitrieweist • Ireland. His
Lordship was in his 41st year; * is succeeded is
his titles *tid estates by his only. son Philip, who is
about twelve years of age. —His Lordship married
Miss Monckton, daughter of the Hon. Colonel John
Monekton, by whom he has left the above son, and
several daughters.
A tew weeks ago the carriage of the Bishop of
DUItiSAM was passing through Sheffield, when a
child, in attempting to pass before it across the
street, fell down, and was run over, but happily
escaped with only a sevete bruise; one of the ladies
immediately ordered the carsiage to step, and with
, the oast sympathisiag solicitude requested that the
child might be taken care of. On her return
through that town last week, the lady repeated her
visit to the child's mother, and made her a princely
present.
We understand the Sheriffs of London and Mid-
dlesex have been pleased to appoint Mr. Joust
Uasaq of Wine-Ake-court, Fleet-duvet, to as as
I Attorney and Solicitor under their I 'actable institu-
tion, established as well for Vie relief and assistance
of persons confined for debt, as others who c.me
under their official cognizance.
Sir done S•cvesraa, the Recorder of London,
was robbed, a few days sires of a very valuable
gold watch and seals, in the t Mowing manner ;
Sir Jona had just arrived at the Sessions House, in
the Old Bailey, and teelingifor his watch, found that
be had forgotten to bring it with him. Observing
the Sheriff at the same Moatent, he said. •' Mr.
Sheriff, I have left my watch at borne. pray tell the
the hour P' The Sheriff satisfied the interrogatory,
and the Recorder proceeded to try the I"risotter., A
fellow who overheard the conversation, immediately
posted off to Sir Joules hoese, in Chancery-lane,
said the Recorder had lett his watch at home, and
begged it might be sent him. The SerflitS
iina-
gi:,ang the man to be one of the people employed
about die Sessions House, gave the watch and
seals, end the thief decamped with his be.ty.
