It is rumoured that the vacancy at the Board of
Admiralty, occasioned by the appointment of Rear-
Admiral it George Seymour to the naval command
in the Pacific, will be filled by Rear-Admiral Bowles,
now commanding on the coast of Ireland.. It is also
rumoured that the Rear-Admiral will be a candidate
for the borough of Launceston, in the room of Sir
henry Hardinge, the new Governor-General of India.
TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—TWO policemen now regu-
larly keep guard, and their presence checks every
attempt at nuisance. The persons who frequent bhe
square conduct themselves in the most ordbrly manner,
and probably, in a short time, the/ will be able to .do
without their keepers. The proprietors of Waterloo-
bridge would find it to their advantage to adopt the
same system, and make 'the bridge, what it formerly was,
one of the most delightful resorts in London.
