COURT CIRCULAR.

The Duke of SUSSEX, the Duchy's of KENT, and the
Princess VICTORIA, the Duchess of GLoucEavta and the
Princess SOPHIA, visited their MAJESTIES yesterday at St.
James's Palace.

Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
, Lord PAL-
MERSTON, Viscount MELBOURNE, the Duke of HARI'.
Ton, and the Earl of ALnemAaLs, had audiences yester-
day of his MAJESTY.

The Duke and Duchess of Cults ERLA X D went yesterday
to their residence at Kew, and returned to town in the after
noon.

A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday er.
tornoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended 1.); the
thirteen Members composing the new Cabinet.
The Council sat in deliberation about an hour and a half.
—Viscount Maisoußy a, as Home Secretary, Viscount
GODERICII, as Colonial Secretary, and others of the Mini-
sters who received their appointments from his Maiivi y
on Monday, attended at their respective offices in the after-
noon. Lord How icic, as Under Secretary of State for the
Colonial Department, in the room of Mr. HORACE TWIsS,
and Mr. GEORGE LA us, as Under Secretary of St-de for
the Home Department, in the room of Sir GEO aciE CLERK,
attended at their offices yesterday.

The Duke of Bedford is to receive the vacant Ribbon of
the Order of the Garter.
Dr. Turton, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge,
has been appointed to the Deanery of Peterborough. This
is the last dignity bestowed by the Duke of Wellington.
The Lord Chancellor's patent, as Baron Brougham and
Vaux, is limited with remainder to the heirs male of his body
only. The Chancellor at present, we understand, has only
a daughter. Should a son not be born to him, therefore, the
barony will, of course, become extinct at the decease of its
present possessor.
We have authority to contradict the report to which pub
licity was given in the second edition of the Courier of
last night—if any authority were necessary, beyond that
of common sense, to negative a rumour so exquisitely ab-
surd :—" There is a report this afternoon, in the political
circles at the west end of the town, that several new places
will be created, so that the new Cabinet will consist of 2u
members.— Globe.
It is not true that Sir H. Parnell has been appointed
Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. An offer was made him of a seat
at the Board of Treasury, which he refused.
It is not true that Mr. Brougham is the first member of
the bar who rose to the Chancellorship without the gradation
of intermediate office; the same occurrence took place in
1806, when Lord Erskine (then Mr. Erskine) was created
a Peer, and sworn in Lord Chancellor, without having held
any official appointment previously.
A declaration is published this day with the signatures.
There are upwards of 40 Peers, many of them hitherto con-
sidered Orange, and the array of gentlemen and professional
men is greater than has been affixed to any documents, with
the exception of the Protestant declaration, within our
memory. The cause of common sense and true patriotism
has triumphed.—Dublin Evening Post.
In consequence of the death of Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey,
a vacancy has occurred in the office of one of the four Ver-
derers of the Forest of Waltham, or Hainault Forest, in
this county. We understand that the writ is expected to be
issued next week, and that the election, which is in the free-
holders of the county, will take place at Epping within a
month. Montagu Burgoyne, Esq. John Henry Conyers,
Esq. and Joseph Richard Lockward, Esq. are the present
Vorderers. The only candidate at present is James Ander-
son,Esq. of Havering-grange, nearßomford. - EssesHerold.
On Monday evening orders were issued from the War
Office for the 9th Regiment of Lancers, quartered at Ken-
sington, to hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo-
ment's notice. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the
above-mentioned regiment mustered at the barracks, and
proceeded on their rouie for the disturbed parts of Hamp-
shire, and would quarter last night at Egham, Staines, and
the adjacent villages. The Riding Establishment of the
different Cavalry Regiments stationed at St. John's Wood
Barracks marched to Kensington Barracks to do the duty of
the 9th Lancers.

ECONOMY ix TUE EAST.— We understand that some
wise men in the East, not ninety miles from Shoreditch,
have lately presented a parish petition, through Mr. Hume,
to the King, against the New Police. Their chief com-
plaint against the system was, that it was too expensive fur
the poor people of their poor parish. The expense of the
said petition was only ninety pounds. Nice pickings out of
the pockets of the very poor people of the very poor pa.
fish !—Herald.
The Municipal Committee of Paris has nearly terminated
its detailed examination of the facts of the revolution ; the
latest return is 1,162 killed among the people alone, and
more than 3,000 wounded.
The village of Holwell, near Melton Mowbray, contains
about 120 inhabitants. Within nine years one-half of the
population have emigrated to America, and, by accounts re-
ceived, the greater part of them are doing well. A family,
consisting of an aged widow, named Wilson, four daughters.
all grown up, the husband of one of them and their children
.in all nine persons...took their departure a month ago, in
high spirits, content, for ever, to abandon their native
England, the anchor and hope of the world."--Stamford
News.

Ma. Sr. Jo u x Lowe. —A correspondent informs us, that
by 3 Geo. IV. ch. 38, persons convicted of manslaughter are
to be transported for life, or for any term of years at the dis-
cretion of the Court, or to be imprisoned in the common jail,
House of Correction, or Penitentiary, for not more than three
years ; or they may be fined, at the discretion of the Court.
But this discretion of the Court is now taken away, for by
7 and 8 Geo. IV. ch. 28, sec. 11, upon a subsequent con-
viction, they are to be transported for fife, or not let;s than
seven years, or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding
four years ; ann, if a male, to be once, twice, or thrice
publicly or privately whipped, in addition to such imprison-
ment ; but it must be alleged in the indictment to be a second
offence._Morning Paper.
Saturday last, about three o'clock, the Royal Oak of New-
castle, was taken into Dover harbour, having a jury-mast.
and towed by two boats. On Sunday she had experienced
a heavy gale, and was blown off Hastings, where she lily
some time, and drifted about till Thursday, when she els
picked up by a Dover lugger. The captain, a young ma
about 23 years of age, was, during the time, blown over-
board, but fortunatel.b from the great exertions of the
crew, he was saved. The vessel was a collier ; all her sails
were shivered.
So little was the fatal division on the Civil List expected.
that nearly fifty members of the House of Commons favour-
able to the Government were absent on the occasion, who
were actually in town or its neighbourhood at the time, and
who had they been present would of course have given
decided majority to Ministers.
Al the tithe-audit at Nuthurst, near Hanka, held last
week, than was not, nor has there been he seas years, a
tithe dinner, or feast. Each farmer, after paying down his
money, was liberally presented with 2s. as Tail=
.
