It is already known that a pension of 300/. a-year has been conferred on Lady Morgan.

By the death of General the lion. Sir Alexander Hope, G. C. 8., ohich took place on Friday, at Chelsea Hospital, the Lieut.- Governorship of that establishment has become vacant, as well as the Colonelcy of the 14th Foot, which he has held since March 1835. He was one of the oldest officers in the serviee, having been appointed Lieut.-Colonel of the 90th Foot so long ago as 1794. Sir Alexander was a member of the Consolidated Board of General Officers, brother of the late Earl Hopetoun, and was in his 68th year. Ha married in*lBos, Georgiana, daughter of Geo. Brown, Esq. The season for auctions has been greatly retarded this season. Judjing from our journal this evening, it has commenced now in earnest.

The City of London Tories dine together in a pavilion erecting by Messrs. Cubitt, in the Gray's Inn-road. The 14th of June is the day appointed. We have great pleasure in stating that there are ample grounds for believing that the return of Mr. Broadwood for Bridgewater will be set aside. Personal considerations, which we trust will be duly appreciated, prevent us from entering into minute particulars ; but this much we may say, that nothing short of the legalisation of corruption can secure the seat of Mr. Broadwood.  Mr. Henry Ellis, half-brother of the Earl of Ripon, has during the past week promulgated an address to the electors of the city of Lincoln, asking their support in the event of a general election, which he thinks not distant. George Mildrum, schoolmaster, who is now enduring, a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment in the Barnstaple gaol, which was passed upon him in October last, for an assault upon a child eight years old, has written, letters in which lie wakes a coiriesstua of the murder of his wife, who died at Southmoulton, some years since, under suspicious circumstances.—North Devon Journal.
