lllMALAYA.—Commander Priest will have the corn
mand of this magnificent steamer, and a more zealous or
indefatigable officer could not have been selected.
It was stated, in Paris yesterday, with some degree of
confidence, that M. de Persigny will, after all, join the
French Cabinet, but without a portfolio.
On the Ist inst. the English residents at Pau presented
a handsome silver gilt chased coffee service (purchased by
small collections made among themselves) to Madame
Bosquet, the mother of the French General who so gal-
lantly brought up the troops under his command to the
aid of the British at the battle of Inkerman. The pre-
sent was received by Madame Bosquet with evident
pleasure. This delicate attention has given much satis-
faction to the fellow townsmen of the gallant General.
THE WIDENING OF CHANCERY-LANE.—Yesterday, by
instructions of the City Commissioners of Sewers, the
building materials and fitting of several more of the old
houses, and also a largo one nearly new, standing in
Chancery-lane, within a few doors of Fleet-street, were
disposed of by public auction, in order that the houses 100
may be pulled down and rebuilt further back, and the 100
20
thoroughfare thus be widened. The old houses standing
opposite, on the east side, have also been pulled down 20
and are now being rebuilt, but they aro built as forward
to the street as the former houses, which is several feet 50
in advance of the line of the adjoining buildings of Ser- 50
jeants'-inn. 100
THE LAUNCH OF THE " SOUTHERN CROSS."— Consi- 100
derable interest was excited on Thursday by the launch
from Messrs. Wigram's dock, at Poplar, of a new vessel 50
intended to be used by the Bishop of New Zealand, Dr.
20
Selwyn, in his missionary labours through his extensive 25
diocese. The vessel, which has been named the Southern
Cross, is only 100 tons burden. She is commanded by WO
Captain Hector Nelson, and is intended to sail from 10
outhampton on the 10th inst. The Bishop of New 5
Zealand and Mrs. Selwyn ; A. B. Hope, Esq. ; the Rev.
E. Coleridge ; Richardson, E-q. ; and a numerous 25
circle of the bishop's friends were present on the oc- 25
5°
casion.
