DUBLIN, OCT. 31.—The Queen's letters patent
arrived this morning, and now only await the sign
manual of his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant,
confirming the appointments consequent on the
elevation of Mr. Blackburne to the Master-
ship of the Rolls. Mr. Smith is the Attor-
ney, and Sergeant Greene the Solicitor-General.
There is no official notification as to the sergeantcy
vacated by the promotion of Mr. Greene, but I under-
stand the appointment has been conferred on Mr. W.
H. Brooke, an eminent member of the Chancery bar—
and a better selection it would not be easy to make.
Mr. Brewster retains his office of law adviser at the
Castle, at the express desire of Earl De Grey and
Lord Eliot.

An active canvass is going on in the City for the
vacant situation of housekeeper to the Old Bailey ;
and there are no less than five candidates, namely,
Mr. Day, Mr. Hoard, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Leech, and
Mr. Harker. The first three named were for some
time members of the Common Council ; Mr. Leech
was the proprietor 'of the Landon Coffee House,
Ludgate-hill; and the last-named candidate is Air.
Harker, the crier of the Old Court at the Old Bailey,
so well known for his clear and sonorous voice. The
election takes place on Friday.
ARCHES' COURT. —The case of Jones v. Jones came
on for hearing yesterday, being a suit for nullity of
marriage, on the ground that the wife was married in
a wrong name. It appeared that the surname only
was incorrect, and the Judge (Sir Herbert Jenner)
was of opinion that the libel could not be admitted.
and that a party being married even under an as-
sumed name, did not vitiate the contract. He ac-
cordingly decreed the marriage valid.
ADELAIDE GALLERY.—The promenade concerts at
this institution become more and more attractive, and
bid fair to rival those of the same description given at
the English Opera House. The gallery has been
crowded during the past week with fashionable au-
diences. Mr. Jones has made another addition to his
dissolving views, by a Portrait of NelSon and a View
of Langollen, both painted by Acres. The Dissolving
Views are accompanied by songs expressive of the
scene, which have a very pleasing effect.
THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—The collection took
place yesterday in all the parishes of Dublin and
suburbs. According to the accounts in the morning
papers, the result of the parochial collection yester-
day was 1,7461.—1a5t year the sum returned was
2,0061. In addition to the parochial collections, we
find a sum of 2871. set down as " receivable at
offices."—Dublin .3lonitor.

LOCHMADEN.-At the annual election of the Ma-
gistrates and Council of the burgh of Lochmaben,
held on the 29th of September, the Council unani-
mously resolved to tender their best thanks to David
Johnstone, Esq., of Riggheads, ruling elder to the
last General Assembly, for the constitutional views
he supported on that occasion, and for his independent
and Christian conduct in going to Strathbogie and
assisting the minister of Rhyniei and the Provost
was instructed to convey the thanks of the meeting
accordingly.--Scotch Paper.
PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE BRIGHTON RAIL-.
NAT.—A survey is now in progress for the continua-
tion of, the Brighton Railway, by means of a coast
line, to the towns of Chichester and Worthing. The
cost of the line, it is conceived, will be but small, as
the country through which it runs is of a level
nature. The plans and sections of the proposed line
have already been deposited with the clerk of the
peace, and it is the intention of the Brighton Company,
in the next session of Parliament, to apply for a Bill
to carry out the line, the expense of constructing
which, according to the engineering estimates, will
not exceed 15,0001. per mile. The project is supported
by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and by Mr. Jelin
Abel Smith, M.P.

SUMMONS FOR "CALLS."--At the Stockport Police
Court, on Saturday, the overseers of the poor for that
township' appeared, by Mr. Tate, the poor-rate col-
lector, to answer the complaint of the Board of Guar-
dians, and to show cause why an order should not be
made upon them for the payment of the sum of 2,6091.
1 ls. 4d., being arrears of "calls" made upon them for
the relief of the poor. Mr. Tate informed the Bench
that the neglect arose from a want of funds; but he
thought the amount could be raised in the course of a
fortnight or three weeks, as a new rate of two shillings
in the pound had recently been granted. An order
was made for payment within twenty-one :days.—
