Lord Melbourne, as locum towns for the Bishop of Durham,
has conferred the living of Wooler, in that diocese, upon the Honourable John Grey, fifth son of Earl Grey. i'Ve gather from an article in the Courier of yesterday evening, that neither Mr. Lynch, Mr. Senior, nor Mr. Duckworth, is to be the new .Master in Chancery ; but that a Tory Judge of the Court of Bank- ruptcy, who has nothing to do, will have that appointment. The Colt - rier adds, that this gentleman is deficient in qualification for the office ; but that his salary of 10001. or 15001, a year will be saved by the arrangement. . We believe it to be now pretty well ascertained that the same form of statute (against Dr. Hampden) as that so unceremoniously stifled by the Proctors last term, will be again submitted to Convocation in the course of the next three weeks. Our readers may depend on re- ceiving early and accurate notice of the day and hour.—Standard.
The new fashionable season, if the rumour of the clubs is to be cre- dited, is likely to be equally prosperous with the last. An infinite number of fashionable absentees have returned from the Continent ; and several noble families have daughters to be presented at Court, whose introduction to the beau monde will be probably signalized by brilliant festivities.—Standard.
