No appointment to the vacant Itlastership in Chancery has yet
been announced ; but we gather from articles in the Morning Chronicle and the Courier, that it is intended to transplant one of the Judges in the Bankruptcy Court—whose colleagues do the little which is to be done there—to an office for which lie is by no means qualified. We trust that the new Lord Chancellor, or whoever has the gift of the Master- ship in his hands, will act with more discretion. A man of ability and industry, and a sound lawyer, should be chosen. Such is Air. SENIOR; who would not oily perform all the duties of the office of a Master in Chancery to the satisfaction of the suitors, but would also dedicate his learned leisure to the service of the public. Amply would Mr. SENIOR merit his handsome salary by professional and extra professional exer- tions.
