MR. JUSTICE ERLE.—Though the appointment of
Mr. Erie was completed on Tuesday, he was not sworn in.
A correspondent informs us that he will Rot be sworn in
before Friday next. At the sitting of the Court of
Common Pleas, n that morning, he will be made a Ser-
geant- at-law, and afterwards proceed to the Lord Chan-
cellor's private room to be sworn in, and on his ?eturn
will take his seat on the bench. The elevation of Mr.
Erie to the vacant judgeship will not make any altera-
tion, or create any vacancy on the western circuit, to
which he belonged, as the Learned Gentleman had
ceased going the circuit for the last two years, although
he held no official situation except upon a fpecial retainer.
BIRTH IN A MAIL COACH.—OH Saturday last a
young woman, a native of Swiubrook, near Burford,
Oxon, who fur some time past has been living in service
at Oxford, was proceeding from that city to her home
as an inside passenger by the Oxford and Cheltenham
mail-coach, and when about three miles from Burford
she was suddenly seized with the pains of labour, and
safely delivered of a fine boy. On the arrival of the
coach, with this singular addition to its load, at the
Bird-in-Hand Hotel, Burford, the mother and child re-
ceived the kindest attention front Mrs. Humphries, the
worthy landlady, and are both doing well.
The Soutn Wales Turnpike Trusts Commissioners
have concluded their circuit, and have examined into the
affairs of every trust in the southern division of the
principality. The monetary affairs of th• different trusts
have been ascertained to be in a much more healthy state
than was :upposed to be the case. We understand the
award of the creditors of the trusts will be given on the
Ist of January, 1845, and of course the necessary ar-
rangements fur carrying the Act into effect by the ap-
pointment of county roads boards and district boards and
officers will be commenced at the quarter sessions, which
will take place in the week following the beginning of the
year.— Welshman. •
The Royal Exchange will not be opened for public

engaged i❑ removing the decorations used at the opening,
and fitting up Lloyd's, the insurance departments,
shops, &c.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE COUNTESS OF BIIIIKELET.
—On Tuesday the mortal remains of the late Countess
of Berkeley were interred in the family vault under the
chancel of the parish church of Cranford, Middlesex, in
which vault repose the remains of the Earl's and Coun-
tesses of Berkeley for upwards of 200 years past.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.-011 Saturday morning,
about five o'clock, as an engineer, named Henry White,
was proceeding by Westbourn-green, Paddington,
he beheld the dead body of a man suspended by
the n. ck with a cotton handkerchief, one end of
which he had fastened to the top of some
wooden paling on the premises of the Great
Western Railway Company. The deceased was im-
mediately cut down, and shortly afterwards removed to
the station-house, Paddington-green ; life had evidently
been extinct for some hours. The deceased, who ap-
peared to be about fifty years of age, was dressed in a
black coat, waistcoat, and trousers, and Wellington
boots ; a razor was found in one of his pockets, butt
there were no papers of any description upon him by
which any clue could be obtained with regard to his
name or connexions.

NOVEL WEDDlNG.—Tuesday forenoon a marriage
took place at the parish church of St. George-iu-the-
East, Cannon-street, which attracted much curiosity, and
caused a large concourse of persons to assemble. The
bride was Ann M'Cormick, an exceedingly pretty girl,
who belonged to Rains's 1001. School, and the bridegroom
William Channay, a smart young fellow, belonging to
the Wellclose-square division of the fire brigade. Of
the numerous institutions of which the great metropolis
abound, there are few from which more positive benefits
are disseminated than that of Rains's, near Old Gravel-
lane, in the parish of St. George-in-the-East. The be-
nevolent donor had by his will left a sufficient sum of
money to support forty girls, to be elected from the pa-
rochial schools, for four years. At the end of that
period they are sent out to service, and, upon attaining
the age of nineteen, and their characters being irre-
proachable, they become eligible to draw in a lottery
for a husband. Two marriages take place in every
year, namely, one upon the merry Ist of May, or
" Sweep's day," and the other on the sth of November,
or " Guy Fawkes' day," and on the morning r,f each of
those days a drawing takes place for the ls. of May or
the sth of Nov., as the case may be, awl, Miss Ape".
mack having drawn the* prize on the Ist of May last,
was, of course, the next for preferme.e t. When the lucky
ticket is drawn, the next thing to I,e done by its fortunate
owner is to seek out for an eligiKe partner (not a Roman
Catholic, for they, according 'Lo the will of the testator,
are ineligible) in the parish es of St. George in the East,
St. Paul, Shadwell, or S. John, of Wapping, and this
being done, notice is p,,ven to the trustees for their ap-
proval. In this imr,tanec Miss M'Cormick's choice fell
upon the " watertv,an-fireman," and the trustees, finding
no reason to fi,D7,l fault with his good looks-or fair fame,
nothing more was left but to go through the happy cere-
mony. In the evening, according to the usual custom, a
dinner V.Jok place at the institution, at which the bride
wad bridegroom, and several of their friends, attended,
'And after the health of the happy couple was given, the
chairman presented the bridegroom with 'one hundred
new sovereigns in a bag, as his bridal portion from the
institution.
