EIHINITION 01' 1851.—We understand that at the
meeting of her Majesty's Commissioners on Thursday last,
the tenders for printing and preparing the catalogues for the
Exhibition were reported, and the tender, jointly sent in by
Messrs. Spicer, the paper-makers, and Messrs. Clowes, the
printers, having been declared to contribute the largest sum
to the funds, it was ordered to be accepted.
ELEPHANTS PROM CEYLON.—The ship Persia,
Captain Stevens, arrived in the West India Docks from
Ceylon, on the 31st ultimo, having on board two very fine
young elephants, the property of the commander, besides a
number of monkeys, owls, civet cats, porcupines, mouse
deer, &c., consigned to the Royal Zoological Society, Re-
gent's Park. The animals are all in very line condition, and
can be seen at present on board the vessel in the import
dock. The elephants are male and female, being about two
years old, and standing about four feet high, and are re-
markable for their docility and playfulness, which won the
kind attention and esteem of all the passengers during the
voyage homeward.
THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—Yesterday the three
new Chancery Acts passed in the last session came into force.
The first was passed on the 15th of Jiuly, and is known in
the profession as Mr. George Turner's Act, entitled "An
Act to diminish the delay and expense of proceeding in the
High Court of Chancery in England." Parties under this
Act can concur in special cases and obtain the opinion of the
Court of Chancery; accounts of persons deceased can be
taken before the Masters. The second Act has reference to
the Court of Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancaster,
and new rules and orders will now be issued for that court.
The third Act, passed on the sth 6f August, is considered
an important statute affecting mortgagees and trustees : it is
entitled "An Act to consolidate and amend the law relating
to the conveyance and transfer of real and personal property
vested in mortgagees and trustees." The Lord Chancellor
can by order remove and appoint new trustees. These Acts
are now in force, and proceedings will be forthwith adopted
under them in the Court of Chancery.
DINNER TO MR. CARLETON, THE IRISH NOVEL-
Jar. —The distinguished author of " Fardoragha, the Miser."
" The Black Prophet," and other novels equally well
known, has recently made a visit to this metropolis, with a
view, it is supposed, to the publication of a new work of fic-
tion. Some gentlemen conected with literature and the fine
arts took advantage of the great Irish novelist's presence in
London to entertain him at dinner on Wednesday evening at
the Nell Gwynne Tavern. Dr. Raleigh Baxter presided on
the occasion, and was supported by Messrs. Stirling Coyne
and Frederick Tomlins, The health of Mr. Carleton was pro-
posed by the Chairman briefly, but with much feeling, as one
who had moved him to laughter and to tears alternately
more than any living writer, and, with one or two exceptions,
perhaps more than any of the great and gifted men whose
works remain to us, and whose genius we reverence. Mr.
Carleton referred in plain and unpretending terms to his
origin, his early struggles, and the circumstances which led
him into writing for the public; and the final avowal that
his popularity in England, and the cordial manner of his per-
sonal reception, was the crowning triumph of his career,
called down rapturous applause. With the exception of the
chairman and Mr. Coyne, all Mr. Carleton's entertainers in
the present instance were Englishmen.—Lady's Newspaper.
MIDDLE TEMPLE.—Mr. Bowyer's four readings for
Michaelmas Term will comprise a complete course of Canon
law considered in connexion with English law and universal
jurisprudence. The first reading will be on Wednesday, the
6th, at a quarter past seven, in the dining-hall.
THE LATE STABBING AT BATII.--In consequence
of the continued enfeebled state of health of Mr. Coplestone.

on Thursday further remanded till Monday next. Mrs. Co-
plestone is recovering from the effects of her wounds, the
symptoms of erysipelas which had set in last week haying
subsided.
