The Court then adjourned.

It is said that the high and important office of Go-
vernor-General of India is likely before long to be
vacant. It is stated that the last dispatches addressed
from the Honourable Court to Lord Ellenborough,
in reference to the war in Affghanistan, are couched
in such strong and reproachable terms, as to the
orders sent for the forces to re-cross the Indus, as to
render it almost certain that the Noble Lord will
deem it an imperative duty to return to England to
vindicate himself from certain imputations alleged to
have been made against the policy he has pursued
while he has held his high official appointment.
Mr. Wigram is spoken of as being the party most
likely to fill the office, which has become vacant, of
standing Counsel to the East India Company, by the
death of Mr. Sergeant Spankie.
Sir Denis Le Marchant, Bart., has been appointed
manager of the extensive estates of the Earl of Lei-
cester, who has not yet
,attained his majority. Sir
Penis Le Marchant was one of the joint Secretaries
of the Treasury under Lord Melbourne's Government.
