We understand that Mr. Henry Drummond
Wolff has been selected to succeed, as chief secretary to the
Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, Sir George
Ferguson Bowen, appointed governor of the new colony of
Queensland. According to tho Foreign-office list, Mr.
Drummond Wolff entered that office in 1846 ; in 1852 he was
attached to her Majesty's mission at Florence, where he
acted for some time as charge d'affaires. In 1856 he accom-
panied Lord Westmorland to Brussels on his mission to
congratulate the King of the Belgians on the 25th anniver-
sary of his accession to the throne ; on this occasion he re-
ceived, together with Lord Westmorland, the Order of
Leopold, but was not allowed to wear it, it not being con-
ferred for military services. In February, 1858, he was
appointed assistant private secretary to the Earl of Malmes-
bury, and in November of the same year private secretary
to Sir E. Lytton, Secretary of State for the Colonies.
The mercantile letters from Germany state that
business of all kinds continues in suspense, owing to the
general political excitement. To-morrow the Diet at Fran-
fort are expected to decide upon the attitude to be assumed
by the Confederation, and the event is waited for with great
anxiety, some persons being disposed to expect that an army
of observation will be ordered to the Mune. The recent
approaches toward an understanding between Austria and
Russia are likely, however, to have considerable influence
in modifying any resolutions that may have been intended.
Private letters from Trieste state that the liabi-
lities of Messrs. Lutteroth and Co., of that place, do not
exceed £35,000, which for the most part will fall upon per-
eons well able to bear them.
