We understand that Mr. George Lawson has

assistant private secretary to Sir John Pakington, the
Secre•ary of State for War.
CHANCERY REFORMS.—At the Chambers of Vice-
Chancellor Malius yesterday Mr. Buckley, the chief clerk,
disposed of some CO applications for time to answer, tima
to complete evidence, &c. The summonses were necessi-
tated by the time expiring in the recess. It has been
suggested that a general order would prevent the present
inconvenience and expense by carrying on the short vaca-
tions to the period of the sittings of the Chambers of rack
Court, and not allowing the time to lapse iu the recess.
The cases wore yesterday printed—a course adopted at the
Rolls' Chambers, and, if duly carried out at all the Cham-
bers, would be a real Chancery reform to the profession.
A CHILD STAIIVe.D TO DEATH.—On Saturday
morning a man found a child, named Emily Mellor, three
years of age, the daughter of a signalman, lying on the
ground frozen and dead, about a mile and a half from
Dewsbury. The poor child had been missing since the
morning of Christmas Day.
MR. TENNYSON.—It may be interesting to many
of Mr. Tennyson's friends and others to know that the
reports about his leaving the Isle of Wight as a permanent
residence are erroneous. Ho would do so on no account,
but intends to spend winter and other times at Farring-
ford, and to seek his newly-erected house " for a change,"
RS we say.
A telegram to the following effect has this day
been received front Queenstown, Ireland :—" Her Ma-
jesty's ship Columbine arrived last night from the Pacific
Station, having pat into this port for coal."—Admiralty,
leatinuary, 1.868.
