KING'S SERGEANT.—At the Sitting of the
Court of Kirg's Bench yesterday, John Bernard Bosanquet,
Esq., having
.been raised to the rank of King's Sergeant,
presented himself at the bar, and was desired by the Lord
Chief Justice to take his rank accordingly.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—The Right
Honourable Sir Charles Abbott, Knight, Lord Chief Jus-
tice of the Court of King's Bench, having been raised to
,the Peerage, by the title of Baron Tenterden, of Hendon,
and yesterday being the day appointed for his Lordship to
attend the House of Lords to take the oaths, and have his
Patent of Peerage recorded, the Barristere, practising in
his Lordship's Court, resolved, as a mark of respect, and
of the high sense entertained of his Lordship's character and
distinguished endowments, to accompany him to the scene
of his exaltation, and congratulate him in the promotion to
an honour as deserving in his Lordship personally, as gra-
tifying to the feelings of those who defer to the ascendancy
of personal genius over the mere . pride of ancestry. Ac-
'cordingly, at half-past three o'clock, his Lordship, being
attired in his robes of state, proceeded from his robing-
room, in company of Mr. Justice Bayley and Mr. Justice
Littledale, into Westminster Hall, where he was greeted
by the presence of a large body of Barristers, waiting to
attend him to the House of Lords. Mutual obeisances
took place. Those of his Lordship appeared to come from
the heart, and intimated an intensity of feeling to which
no language could give expression. Certainly the motive
of this mark of respect, and the manner in which it was
testified, could not fail of impressing his Lordship with
emotions of no ordinary gratification. His Lordship was
attended to the House of Lords by the whole Bar, who had
the gratification of seeing his Lordship inaugurated into the
high station to which he had. been promoted.

We believe that there never was a period when
the number of persons emigrating from this port to the
United States and to Canada was so great as it is at the
present moment. Most of the vessels which hare sailed,
during the last four weeks, for the above countries, hays
taken out crowds of passengers, consisting of men, women,
and children. Some of the vessels took out the whole
number of passengeis that they are by law allowed to carry,
and a medical man was on board of each, to look after
the health of the emigrants. It is estimated, that the
total number of persons who have emigrated in the
course of this month is nearly thirteen hundred. It
was, indeed, a painful sight to sec so many of our fellow-
subjects quit the country of their birth, and, forced away
by the distresses of the times, embark on the tempestuous
ocean to seek an asylum for themseWes and their helpless
families " beyond the western main." What sufferings
these poor people must endure, and what numbers of them
will perish before they reach the Eden, which they expect
to find on the North American Continent ! The heart
bleeds when one contemplates the, painful subject. The
great bulk of the emigrants proceed to the United States.
