Lord Lansdowne's term as Viceroy of India expires in December. The " Times" says that Sir H. Norman's appointment comes as a great surprise. The " Daily News" thinks that a few men could be found who would fill the post better. Brisbane, September 5. Sir H. Norman has accepted the post of Viceroy of India. His departure is universally regretted. Brisbane, Septembor G. In the course of an interview, Sir H. Norman said he was unable to state why he had been selected as Viceroy of India.
