THE CITY COMPTROLLER.—The high ancX
extremely profitable situation of City Comptroller, having be-.
come vacant by the severe and hopeless illness of Mr. Heokeyr
who has filled the office for several years, there is a good deal
of excitement amongst the members of the Corporation as'its • •
the prqbable successor. The office not yet being declo.red
cant there has not been a starting of candidates, but ntie
lowing gentlemen are spoken of as ready to start. Mr. Tbotusi
Saunders, the unsuccessful opponent of Mr. Charles Pea,•soo •
for the City Solicitorship ; 11r. James, the Secondary ;
Timothy Tyrrell, the Solicitor to the Commissioners of Sewers 'l,,
and Mr. Brand, the Comptroller of the Bridge-house Estates.,
It is believed, too, that there are a couple of the members oil
the Corporation who have an eye to the place, and that an at-
tempt
will be made to suspend an essential Standing Order or
the Court which at present negatives their eligibility. It is•
certain that many of the enormous emoluments which pressed
very hard upon the health of poor Mr. Hookey will be cut away
from his successor, and that the 4,0001. A-year hitherto arising
from it will drop into the less unwieldy bulk of 1,6001., beyond
which it ought never to have been raised upon any pretext
whatever.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.--A boat was
swamped on its return from Westport to Clare Island on. Si
turday last, when, melancholy to relate, all the persons in her;
including two policemen, perished. We have not heard the
number of lives lost. he policemen Were constable BI oxham
and sub-constable Hardiman, who belonged to the Clare
Island Station. The constable has lett a w'do and a. large
family.—Mn ;

We understand that Colonel Fox, late Secretary'
to the Master-General of the Ordnance, has been appoint-
ed to the post of Surveyor to the Ordnance, vacant by tbs,
decease of Sir Rutane Donkin. We understand that Cel;
Fox is a candidate on the Liberal interest for the seat its'
Parliament vacated by the same lamented event.
