On Friday the KING, accompanied by Lady KENNEDY

Previous to Sir THOMAS DENMAN being
Attorney.G,neral, the KING was asked whether such an
appointment would be offensive to his MAJESTY ; he re-
pl;ed that he had forgiven and almost forgotten the allusion
in question, and that nothing would give him greater
pleasure than to see a man of Sir T. DENMAN'S talents
and ch,racter raised to such a station. On the decease of
Lord TENTERDEN, Sir THOMAS DENMAN was imme-
diately mentioned to the KING as a fit successor to that
Judge. His MAJESTY not only consented to the appoint-
ment, but was pleased to accompany that consent with
some very kind expressions of satisfaction and confidence,
and also took an opportunity of repeating them in a more
direct manner to Sir TnomtAs himself —Court Journal.
We understand that Governor STERLING, of
the Swan River settlement, is expected daily to arrive in
England. The object of his visit here is to represent, on
the part of the colonists, the actual situation of the colony,
and the policy of our Government making some advances
to the colonists.

The Ex-Royal Family of France entertain
confident hopes of a third restoration. CHARLES X. has
lately adopted for his armorial hearing a fallen oak, from
ti.e roots of which issue; a luxuriant shoot; over them is
the device—"Pourtant debout !" The Duke d'A Icaoc-
-IE3IE, in his reply to the Officers who waited upon him at
Spandau, made use of the following expression :—" I am
hut a poor fugitive now, Gentlemen ; we shall, however,
meet in better times, and then you will need no further
pass-word than that you formed pat of the garrison of
Spandau."

The most popular spectacle of modern times
now exhibiting at FRANCONI'S Toeatre, in Paris, is " The
Life and Military Exploits of Napoleon Bonaparte,
from his entrance into the French army until his de,ith
at St. FL-Jena," in which every memorable action is dis-
played by brilliant and effective scenery with astonishing
accuracy—all his Generals are represented in fitc•simile,
and the little hero himself imita'ed to the life. The
theatre is crowded every evening to witness this idol of the
French nation.

We perceive by the newspapers that Lord
TENTERDEN has bequeathed funds to provide an annual
prize for Latin verses, to be contended for by the boys of
the school at Canterbury. This reminds us of rather a
curious anecdote respecting Lord TENTERDEN and Lati❑
verses which lately came to our knowledge. When his
Lordship was a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford,
he tried for the prize for Latin verses, which was con-
tended for with him by our amiable, respected, anti gifted
neighbour, the Rev. CANON llowt.Es, then a scholar at
Trinity, to whom the prize was awarded. A short time
ago, being no less a period than 40 years after the above
occurrence, Mr. BowLEs met Lord TENTERDEN at Salis-
bury, for the first time after the awarding of the above-
mentioned prize, and his Lordship, on hearing the name
of Mr. BOWT.ES mentioned, immediately adverted to the

literary contest in which he had been the vanquished party
40 years before. It is not at all improbable that this un-
expectedly awakened reminiscence respecting Latin verses
suggested to his Lordship the bequeathing of an annual
priv for this species of exercise to the boys of the Canter-
bury school. —D eviz es Gazelle.

Sir HERBERT TAYLOR has, by command
of his MAJESTY, written a very kind letter to the present
Sir WALTER. SCOTT, informing him, that a pen•ion of
2001. a-year has been granted to Miss SCOTT from the
Civil List ; and as this, we believe, required the concur-
rence of his Ministers, we may consider it as secured to
her for life.—Allieticeum.

The assignees appointed to investigate the
affairs of Mr. JOHN MABERLY, the banker, and late
M. P. fur Abingdon, have declared a dividend on the
estate of 2s. in the pound. The debts were stated to
amount to about 200 0001. an that the assets discovered to
the present time amount to 20,000/.

THE VICARIAL TITHES.—We are sorry
to find that the exertions which were made Some years
ago to do away with these obnoxious imposts in Leeds
have not been attended with all the success that might
have been wished; and that the market-gardeners and
others in the parish are now threatened with processes
from the vicar to enforce claims to a serious amount.
When will the church and its ministers have the wisdom
to desist from alienating the minds of the people, by en-
forcing those obnoxious exactions?—Leeds Mercury.
On Thursday, the 25th of October, Mr.
JOHN Bumvus, bookseller of Skinner•street, walked out
of his house as if on his accustomed business, and never
returned. His family continued in a State of great grief
and anxiety, not knowing what had become of him. A
few days before Mr. SHIPLEY, of Newman's_row, spent
the evening with him, and observed such evidence of ah,r.
ration of mind that he expressed his fears to the family
that he was likely to destroy himself. On Monday morn-
ing a bargeman discovered the body of a man floating in
the Surrey-canal, with all the clothes on, even the hat and
gloves, the pockets turned inside out. The body was taken
to the workhouse at Camberwell, where a card-ease was
found on it with cords of the address of Mr. Bum Pus, and
it was recognised to be his by his friends. A coroner's
inquest was held, and a verdict returned—,. Found
drowned, but by what means the deceased Came into the i
water there was no evidence to show." The deceased has
left a widow and six children to lament his fate.
