DR. WARDER'S CLllLDREN.—Yesterday an ap-
plication was made to Mr. Peaks, the chief clerk of Vice-
Chancellor Stuart, to appoint Miss Gunning guardian to
the four children of the late Dr. Warder. It will be re-
membered that, before committing suicide at Brighton,
Dr. Warder came to Pondon, and left a large sum of money
at Miss Gunning's residence for his children. In answer
to inquiries made by the chief clerk, it was stated by A
gentleman from the office of Messrs. Palmer, Eland, and
Nettleship, that a memorial would be presented to the
Crown, and the property left by Dr. Warder, and which
had become forfeited by his family, might be restored to
his children. The Crown had already given up its claim
to the sum handed over to Miss Gunning, and it was
hoped, under the painful circumstances, that. the whole
property and sums now involved in the Chancery suit,
would be given up. It appears that the property left is
sufficient to give a fortune to each child. One of the
daughters is engaged to be married. The chief clerk said
he would mention the case to the judge next seek, and
proceedings were adjourned.

they tendered their resignations on the 30th, which
were unwillingly received by his Imperial Majesty
on finding that no prospect of an accord existed.
On the 6th the new Ministers appeared before the
Chamber of Deputies, when the Opposition pro-
posed a vote of want of confidence, which resulted
in a majority of three for the Government. t
