The betting at the West-end of the town yesterday
was very much in favour of Mr. Kelly as Solicitor,
General. He was freely backed against Mr. Thesi.
ger, at considerable odds, whilst Mr. Godson and Mr.
Wortley were some)y named. Indeed it is felt by
all parties that the, two latter gentlemen have not
the slightest chance. .Mr. Godson as Solicitor-Ge-
neral, of at the Bar was ever. heard !
or Mr. Wortley, whO ever since he had a silk gown,
has found to his cost ;hat he had mistaken his powerq
to lead! Sir 'Robert Peel is too good a judge of ta-
lent, td make either of. them Solicitor-General ; the
first might address the Ouse, 'as he ti.alls it, without
ittentioni the second is a failure both in and
out. There is no, doubt that Mr, Thesiger is the fa.
vonrite:of the Bar, but
.Mr. Kelly has the talent.
Neither of them is eertain of his seat,- Mr. Kelly will
lose Cambridge; Mr. Thesiger cannot sit for Wood-
stock gab.zit the 'content of the Duke of Alarlbo-
rough, uud that is doubtful ; so that the only rang.
for Peel's futureSolititor.General is in the borouA
of Huntingdon: Still 'we should say that Mr. Kelly's
-chance is tilt beat...

We have been greatly 'pleased -by a survey of thc
improvements effected; and in progress, at the Surrey
Zoological Gardens.- Statues, casts, &c., by Conde
and Seeley, made after ihe very best models, have been
erected in various parts of the grounds, greatly to the
embellishment of the, scepe. One of them, a cast,
after Canova, struck us as one of the very best we
have seen. Dansoni Tolbin, and other artists, are at
work upon the new subject, and Southby is preparing
all his resources. The collection of animals and birds
has been very greatly increased, and the condors and
ostriches are the. finest ever seen in this country.
What a -change has a few years effected in the
public taste! Formerly all was vanity and *dissipa-
tion—now, the: mind and intellect are uttered for, and
nowhere mare
~,so nat the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. , .

Her 3rajesty has been pleased to approve the appoint-
ment of SieFrederielt Po!kick to be Chief Baron of the
Exchequer; and of Sir 'Wiiliam Follett to be Attorney-
General. Vacancies are thus created for Huntingdon
and Exeter. 'tie: believe that Sir Frederick Pollock will
take his seat on gtmday, that being the first day of term,
unbiss prevented by the trials now going on at the Old
Bailey.

A CABINET Courtai,.—A Council is appointed;to be
held this afternoon at the Foreign office, Downing-
