THE VICE•CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.—We are
sorry to announce that continued indisposition again
prevented the Vice-Chancellor of England from
sitting in his court to-day. We understand, how-
ever, that the extent of his Honour's indisposition has
been greatly exaggerated, and that, although he is
seriously, be is not dangerously indisposed. It is
generally understood that his Honour will be able to
resume his judicial duty at the latter end of the pre-
sent or, the beginning of next week. A foolish
rumour was current this morning in Lincoln's Inn
that his Honour bad expired during the night. We
hope and trust that many years are yet in store for
his Honour to preside over that branch of the Court
of Chancery of which he has been so able a judge
since 1827, and in the performance of the duties of
which be has secured to himself the esteem of the
suitors and the friendship of the profession, by the
suavity of his manners and the strict impartiality of
his decisions.

We believe we are correct in stating that Lord
Howden, recently appointed mbamdor to Spain, has sold
his estates in Yorkshire to Lord Londesborough for 200 0001.
Grimston is one of the most beautiful houses in England, and
cont&ins a unique collection of ancient arms, with many
valuable pictures and statues, and furniture of the most
costly description.
It is indeed at home that every man must be known
by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue
or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional,
and the mind is often dressed for show in pai►,ted honour, and
fictitious benevolence.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

ACCIDENT ON TUB NORTH KENT RAILWAY.—
On the arrival of the 2 30 Rat. train from Woolwich yester-
day, and while the train was on the ticket platform, the
engine having been detached, and being in the act of moving
to the rear of the train, to propel it into the shed, one of the
ticket collectors (a new hand) imprudently attempted to
cross the line, when he was knocked down by the engine.
-The man was immediately conveyed to St. Thomas's Hos-
:pitalo where he shortly expired from the severe injury he had
received.' .
