Mr. Ward, M.P. for Sheffield, and Secretary to the Admiralty,

is about to receive the appointment of Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands ; and Mr. Tufnell, I.P. for Devonport, one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, is to

succeed Mr. Ward at the Admiralty.—Daily News. [The same journal men- tions Mr. Roebuck as the probable candidate for Mr. Ward's seat at Sheffield.] The death of the Earl of Gosford places the Lord-Lieutenancy of Armagh, and a Colonelcy of Militia, at the disposal of the Government. Lord Goeford was Governor-General of Canada under the late Earl Grey's Government. He is succeeded by his son Archibald Viscount Acheson, now abroad.
