Major-General Ross will resign the Governorship
of this island on the 26th of this month. We are indebted to
him for mitigating, the severity of militia duty, for which he
has received the silent thanks of many of our countrymen, who
feel grateful to his Excellency for his humane and liberal con-
sideration. He has never ostentatiously displayed the pomp
or the authority of a military ruler, but manifested the milder
and less obtrusive virtues of a civil Governor. He may be
assured that he will ever retain the good wishes of our inha-
bitants, who will deem themselves eminently fortunate if his
successor imitates his example._Guernsey Star.
On Saturday last, the Commissioners of Police,
Colonel Rowan and Mr. W. Mayne, investigated the com-
plaint made against policemen who have refused to execute
bench warrants against certain persons who keep gaming-
houses in Leicester-square and the adjacent neighbourhood.
After a long inquiry the subject was referred for further
consideration.

JOHN POND, EsQ.—On Wednesday last died at
his house, in Greenwich, John Pond, Esq., Fellow of the
Royal Society, a corresponding member of the French Insti-
tute, and an honorary member of most of the astronomical
societies in Europe. During a period of nearly twenty-five
years Mr. Pond filled the high and important office of Astro-
nomer-Royal, from which a hopeless state of ill-health obliged
him last autumn to retire ; but his regret at quitting a situation
in the duties of which he had taken so deep an interest, was
lessened on finding himself succeeded by one of the greatest
mathematicians of the age, Professor Airy. As a practical
astronomer Mr. Pond had no superior ; few, if any, equals.
