JOHN ROLT.—The resignation of Sir John Rolt is now confirmed. It had been hoped that, in consequence of the great difficulty of adequately replacing the learned Lord Justice, his lordship might leave been induced, at least, to attempt to resume his judicial functions. The state of his health having, however, precluded this, his lordship's resignation has been finally accepted. TnE BODY of Mr. Charles Kean was interred on Thursday in Catherington Church, Hampshire, which is about five miles from the nearest railway station. A special train conveyed many of the deceased actor's friends from London ; and in this train also was deposited the coffin. The place of his burial appears to be as secluded and peaceful a spot as could be found in England. He lies in the same vault with his mother, and within a short distance from the pleasant little estate which he purchased for her use during her declim lig years.  ON FRIDAY a deputation of tradesmen from the Strand waited upon Mr. Vaughan to complain that their neighbourhood is now infested with a gang of mock auction swindlers, who have been driven from their former haunts in the City and in the Marlborough-street district. They are firmly lodged. The landlord of the house they live in is most anxious to be rid of them, but as they hold a lease, granted before their real character was known, and pay their rent regularly, he cannot turn them out. The rent is 520 guineas, and this, with a handsome profit for the rogues, is realised annually by depredations on the public. Mr. Vaughan could do nothing unless a person actually swindled came before him to complain. It is to be hoped that after this notice such a person will be difficult to find. _  A MAN named " Pinny " Loyd, who was in 1849 sentenced to transportation for sheep stealing, at Grant-chester, Cambs., has confessed to one John Mayer, in Australia, where Loyd is now dangerously ill and not expected to live, that he was the murderer of Mr. Edward Titchmarsh, dealer, of Shepreth, Cambs., whose death has ever been a matter of mystery. The late Ur. Titchmarsh had with him, at the time of his leaving Trumpington, about £l,OOO in notes, all of which were missed; and it is now said that Loyd murdered poor Titchmarsh, and took his notes away at the time of the occurrence in September, 1847. It was supposed by the jury at the inquest that Mr. Titchmarsh met with his death by falling out of his gig, but that supposition is cleared away by this confession. The notes, it is said, were burnt by Loyd to avoid detection. Mft. KILLBY, solicitor, was brought up on remand on Tuesday, at the Mansion-house, charged with converting to his own use the proceeds of four bills of exchange, with which he had, been entrusted for a special purpose. Mr. Montague Williams, who appeared for the prosecutor, said that after due consideration he had come to the concloion that the evidence would be found insufficient to secure a conviction, and he therefore withdrew the charge. The Lord Mayor remarked that he had no doubt as to the sufficiency of the evidence, butt as the prosecution was withdrawn he was bound to discharge the prisoner, which wan accordingly done. A GREA'L Ms.TING under the auspices id tn.. Reform League was held in St. James's-hall on Tuesday evening. The hall was densely crowded. Mr. Edmond &ales presided, and, in an introductory speech, declared that the Reform Act of last Session was wholly meads factory as a settlement of the question. Resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted, denouncing the ratepaying clauses of the Act; demanding a better measure of redistribution; and insisting upon the adoption of the ballot. The meeting was heartily enthusiastic.
