GOVERNOR-GENERAL OP INDIA.---We learn
from the Post—a good authority on the subject
—that Lord Ellenborough is to be the new Go-
vernor-General. At the Court of Directors of
the East India Company, held on Wednesday, the
nomination of his Lordship was confirmed by an
unanimous vote.

DIPLOMATICARRANGEMENTS.—It IS now we
believe definitively arranged that Lord Burg-
hersh will succeed Lord William Russell as Am-
bassador at the Prussian Court. Mr. Aston will
remain as Minister Plenipotentiory at Madrid
and Mr. Bulwer will, we trust, continue to
perform the duties he has so long and so effi-
ciently discharged as Secretary to the Embassy
in Paris.—Times.

DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH.-At a meet-
ing of the Edinburgh Commissioners of Police,
held on Monday last, a member of the name
of Richardson read a long paper in support of
a motion, " That the Scavengers discontinue
cleaning the street on the Sunday mornings."
The substance of his argument was,—such em-
ployment was a direct breach of the fourth
commandment, and could be avoided by late
cleaning on Saturday night. A lengthened dis-
cussion followed, and the result was that clean-
ing the streets was no desecration of. the
Lord's Day, the mover and seconder only voting
for this absurd motion. We have hopes yet
that the Scotch people will See the folly of their
ways, and get rid of the character which they
now enjoy, of being more addicted to useless
observances than even the Jews themselves.
A

.GRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT.--ID a
pro-
spectus published by the " Land Investm
Ireland, is the following passage " Those best ac-
quainted with the state of Irel-anma ci"::c Company of
upwards of three millions cares of land in that island
still remain totally uncult a
m althoughted,are well aware that
be capable of cultivp.' and ascertained to
most fertile pot.* Lon ; that the richest and the
'ion of the lands under cultivation do not
yield one-fe
rt of the produce which under a proper
.eroved system, the result of science and capital,
at
hn nare capable of producing\ particularly in the hands
of active farmers employinghen, labour, and capital for
their own benefit." Ilise believe there is a great deal of
truth in this etatttnent, and that it would apply to Eng-
land as welt ns Ireland. If means could be adopted for
ampleying the vast capital in this country, much of it
comparatively idle, in improving not only waste land,
but in adopting new modes of agriculture, so success-
fully pursued in Scotland, we should not see thousands
of families, with their little property, emigrating every
year to foreign countries or distant colonies. This Com-
pany has ;leen formed with a view to obviate, to a cer-
tain extent, this drain on the best part of our popula-
tion, by purchasing estates in Ireland, and dividing them
into ;arms of from one hundred to ten acres each, to be
mold by auction or private contract to the highest bidder
—a novel undertaking certainly, and, if properly con-
ducted, might produce the best results. It is a subject
of general regret, that so many of our industrious little
farmers should be obliged to emigrate, while vast tracts
of land in the United Kingdom remain uncultivated.
A MICHAELMAS GOOSE.--On Saturday lait
a robbery was committed at the mansion of Mr. Baber,
an independent gentleman residing at Hailsham, in Sus-
sex, under the following circumstances:—Mr. Baber is a
very eccentric character, and has a great taste for orni-
thology. On the day in question he was informed that
a man had called to say there was a most extraordinary
white bird, bigger than a goose, in his park. The old
gentleman immediately summoned his groom and coach-
man, and all parties having armed themselves with guns,
sallied forth to shoot the wonderful white bird. They
had not been absent long when the alarm bell at the
mansion sounded. On arriving at the house they found
the maid-servant locked in an upper room. She stated
that immediately after their departure to shoot the great
white bird, the same.man got in at the parlour window,
dragged her up stairs, and made her disclose where her
master's money was kept. ,The thief then broke open a
desk, and carried off a quantity of sovereigns. The girl
stated that she was struck twice on the head with a
hammer, although there was no mark left. She was
apprehended, and underwent an examination before the
Magistrates, but as there is no trace at present to the
money, she was discharged. A young man, who "kept
her company," was near the spot at the time. It is ex-
pected that the guilty party will shortly be brought to
justice. Mr. Baber, on returning home, confessed he
himself had been the goose in this affair.— Worcester
Chronicle.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CAR.—OnWednes-
day morning a young man, of gentlemanly appearance,
hired a street-cab from off the coach-rank in Padding-
ton-street, Baker-street, desiring the driver to proceed
As quick as possible to the residence of Mr. Yeatesman,
a gentleman residing in Earl-street, Lisson-grove. On
the driver alighting from the box, and opening the cab
door, he found him with his head reclining against the
side of the cab, and blood flowing
i . copiously from a se-
vere incision which he inflicted in his throat with a
razor that lay on the seat. lie was immediately con-
veyed into the house, and surgical assistance being
promptly rendered, the Wound was sewed up, and con-
siderable hopes are entertained for his recovery. The
unfortunate gentleman was a nephew of Mr. Yeatesman.
