CHANCERY REFORMS.-It is understood that the
Lord Chancellor and the other Judges of the Court of
Chancery, have had it in contemplation for some time
past, in addition to the extensive alterations which
will come into operation on the 28th inst., to remodel
ninny of the hitiii&S Elf thtiF YeSp.MiVe
Courts, with a view of placing them on such a footitig
as cannot fail to ensure their practical utility. The
functions of the six clerks and sworn clerks, or, in
common language, the clerks in court, will cease on
the day in question, and their successors are to be
officers designated clerks of the records and taxing
masters, who will perform the d uty at, it is said, one-third
of the cost at present charged to the suitors. Amongst
the departments expecte4 t 8 iffirthed are the Ae-
countant-General and Registrar s offices. friheie
offices are to be kept open from ten to four o'clock,
instead of from eleven to two, as at present, and which
has been a source of complaint in the profession. The

amendment. The Masters' offices, and the Affidavit

able alteration, in order to etirtail the thufges ittid iii
facilitate the operations of the practitioners.
TH.I BOY JONES AGAIN,--The boy Jones, who, on
several occasions intruded himself into Buckingham
Palace, has again made his appearatice in London. It
was stated some time sineq that he lad been sent out
to Sakti 116WeVoe, it ilbW
not the fact. After his last examination at the Home-
office, the boy was sent to Portsmouth, where, we
understand, he was apprenticed, or, at all events, he
was sent on board the wrarspite man-of-war, which
ship carried out Lord Ashburton to the United States,
On the return of the Warspite to Portsmouth, about
three weeks since; be was tillbwed occasitinally to go

in evening, on Monday eve that the ht#
Jones was returned to London. This information
was communicated to the proper authorities, and in-
structions were given to take him into custody-, which
instir4ctinnt 'wait promptly obeyed, and yesterday
morning he Was apprehended at his father's house,
Bell-yard, York-street, Westminster, Notice of the
prisoner being in custody was sent to the public
offices, and hi the course of the afternoon a Govern-
ment order was received directing that he should be
at once taken hack to Portsmouth, as it was not con-
sidered necessary that any inquiry should be insti-
tuted in town. Accordingly Jones was conveyed, in
the custody of a police-officer of the A division, by
the South-western railroad, to Portsmouth.

HOW TO CURP A. SULkit, Wnits.-:-- alto her, wrap
her in a linen cloth well tied at both ends; when 0),1.1
sings out you may be pretty well certain that she re-
quires air; then take a good sized pair of kitchen bel-
lows, and work them till the cloth is well inflated
and the contents pretty well blown ; now call her
" Dear," accompaning the adjective with a whistle,
gradually dying into a whew whew; insinuate a bunch
of nettles (holly will do as well), with which keep her
well stirred up for 10 minutes. Should she give
tongue. under the operation, immediately open the co-
vering, and add 18 lively humble 1)f-es (apex eestnans),
for the sake of their honey, which should be quite fresh.
She will now speedily simmer down to a proper coh=
sisteney. Leave her for three hours to come to her
sepses ; go to your dinner ; administer three leaves of
Mrs. Fry's powers of persuasion, when cool take her
out. If dry, offer her a glass of Hodgson's-bitter ale.

wheat. In some fields in the neighbourhood of the
"Jubilee Pit, near Gosforth, the wheat is about six
inches high. In other parts of the country, we under-
stand, the wheat has an equally favourable appearance.
