GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.
We understand that the resignation of Lord Amherst
as Govetior-General of India has been received by the
Court of Directors, and that his Lordship is expected
to quit Bengal in the latter end of this year. We believe
that the severe family bereavement which Lord Am-
herst has :offered in the loss of his eldest son, has led
to an earlier abandonment of the:office than be pre-
viously contemplated. No successor to Lord Amherst
has yet been fixed on, but it may be stated. Several
names have been mentioned as expectant. of that high
office, or whose merits are under consideration. It is a
singular coincidence that, vacancies have occurred in
all the three Indian presidencies, Bengal, Madras,' and
Bombay, nearly at the same time.

M. CONTINI. an Italian messenger, arrived this day
at the Colonial Once, in Downing-street, with dkpatelsee from

Letters received from Monte Video, dared the 20th
of November, state the English merchantman the Sohn, !
of London, had been sent in by the Brazilian squadron
blockading Buenos Ayres, and that there were pre-
viously the Utopia of Liverpool, the George of Glasgow,
and the John, English vessels, prizes to the Brazilian
squadron; also three American ships. The letters state
that the interruption of commerce by this fleet was
likely to continue, as adviees from England confirmed
the report that Ministers were determined not to inter-
fere, but would continue to respect the blockade.
As a proof of his late lamented Royal Highness the
Duke of Yoaz's attention to the offspring of old
Officers—there is an Officer now quartered at Chatham
who laid before his Royal Highness the Commissions
of his ancestors, signed by King CHAIM'S 1. and IL,'
King WILLIAM 111., Queen Anna, King Czorton I.
and 11., and one given to his Great Grandfather on the
field at the battle of Aughrim, signed by General De
GINCILZLI, dated 1691. His Royal Highness imme-
diately appointed him to an Zusigncy. This Officer
joined his Regiment in Spain, and was severely
wounded at the battles of the Pyrenees, Toulouse.
At a public Meeting of the inhabitants of Manchester,

which was unanimously agreed to, Mr. lizeusitio Por-

in that town :•." A son of the late Mr. Fawczrr was
in the army, and distinguished himself in the Peninsular
campaign. In one of dte_hattles, he received a mortal
wound, and died in the act of electing on his comrade*
to victory. Mr. FAIIIIIIETT'S next son was desirous of
going into the army, and an application was made on
his behalf to the Duke of Yon z, who, by nearly the,
return of post, gave him a commission in the same Rei.
, giment in which his brother had so signally distin-
guished himself."
Du ?Wit, Fss. B.—The trial of Mrs. Smith proceeded
on Monday last,- and so great an interest did its issue
excite here, that the Craig Pier was almost covered with
people, waiting the arrival of the coaches to hear the
' news. When the proof for the Crown was nearly closed,
the trial was prorogated to Monday next, in coon-
. quence of the illness of a Juryman. It is understood that
, Counsels of the panel are to object to the ti al going
foward again, and to claim Mrs S.'s discharge an a
point of 'law.
A petition to Parliament has obtained numerous

spectably signed. The number of signatures amount

100,000.

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon, as a number
of persons were akaiting en the canal` near the Jew's'
Harp Tavern, Regent's Park, the ice suddeitt gave
way, and, at least, eight were precipitated into the

pidity of a baker, who happened to be on the spot.
One body was afterwards brought out, in which life
was evinct, and they were dragging for others when
the evening dosed.

who gain a livelihood by dressing and sorting bristimea
their importation, that that article arrived in a &NW
state, the Lords of the Treasury imposed a duty of 111.

undressed bristles was fixed at Ss. 7d. per dozen lbs.--:
This' regulation appeared to give satisfaction to all par-

learnt that the natives of Russia bad been instructed so
to mix the dressed with the undressed bristles, and the

tom House as an undressed article; and thus the jai'
neymen in this country were deprived of work. The
circumstance was represented to the lords of the Trea-
