LiVEBPOOL MAYORS IN QUEEN ELIZABETH'S DAYS. —We-find the following particulars respecting that high functionary. The Mayor war elected on St. Luke's Day, that is, the 18th of October. It was his duty to preside at elections, when he sat on the bench in state. On all gredt occasions he was attended by the aldermen, bailiffs, and burgesses, who were required to appear in their best " licto g.

The Mayor of 1572 receiv, ended is unknown to posterity . was more than he received, for-the . a very much smaller sum to dispose of, nevertheless he left office with cre- ding c layor of 1571 re wend £2B Ils. contrived £23 Ils. Bd. What he e Mayor of 1573 had namely, 1;5 141 dit, having ext. —u only £5 7s. 9d., thus leaving a sur plus of 7s. with his bankers. The Mayor of 1574 received £lO ls. 4d., and expended £lO Bs. Any one not suffi -;ous of the dignity, and refusing to serve the was fined £6 13s. 4d., which sum went to the Mayor who :upplied his lack of service. As the chief person in the corporation, which was a trading guild, it was the duty of the Mayor to make bargains for the pub lic. As, for instance, on one occasion he bought two Hundred measures of wheat, as a town bargain; onano- ciently con f mayor, Cher a cargo of salt; on another a cargo of salmon, " ly ing near the Tower gates." He was entitled to the se cond best fine, paid on the admission of freemen, admitted during his mayoralty; and presided at the genial feasts given on the admission of freemen, at one of •the Recorder s informs-us that one of the occupants of the chair got exceedingly merry, and ending by falling asleep— dormit in cousin°. It was part of the Mayor's more se rious duties to see that the highwa'ys were kept in order.; to perambulate the bounds of the town ; and to preserve the public peace, which was no easy matter in that turbu lent age.—Baineeg History of Liverpool; ARRIVAL OF 3 . AZInS V. OF SCOTLAND AT THE COURT OF FRANCIS I.—The advent of a sovereign like James V‘, under such circumstances, created a wonderful sensation among the nobles and ladies of the French court, more especially the latter. They marvelled at his boldness in undertaking so perilous a voyage in stormy weather, con sidering the roughness of the seas and the danger of the coast; that he should have ventured on such an expedi tion without asking a safe-conduct from either the King' of England or the. King of France; and that he should be travelling in a strange land, not only without a military escort for the protection of his person, but with so few eervants. There was no court in Europe where the spirit of knight-errantry was so highly appreciated as in that of the chivalric Franeis I. ; no man better qualified, both by nature and inclination, to enact the part of a royal been of romance than the fifth James of Scotland. Giy, gallant, beautiful, andfascinating, he excited the most enthusiastic feelings of admiration in every breast, but in none more ardently than in that of the young delicate in laid, who had been accustomed to regard him, from her earliest recollection, as her affianced husband. Magda lene, it seems, surrendered her heart at once to the ac complished sovereign to whom her band had been pledged in her, unconscious childhood. Lindsay of Pitscottie,who had his information from leis distinguished kinsman, Sir Davi/I.Lindsay of the Mount, one of the companions of James's 'French adventures, tells us positively that the King of(France left Lyons with the King of Scotland a few hours after the arrival of that Prince. " That night," says he, •" they all raid to ane palace, called —, and thercremained. But yet, in the mean time, the:King of Scotland oveneaw not to give due reverence to the Queen of France and all her dames, and in special to theaing's daughter, Magdalene, who was tiding in ane chariot, 5e cause she was sickly, and might not ride on horse. Yet notwithstanding all her sickness and malice [illness],,fra the time she sawthe King of Scotland and spake With him, she became.so enamoured of Trim, and loved him ,so well, that she would have no man alive to be her husband but he allanerlie," meaning him alone. There are in stances where sickness, instead of marring, adds a touch ing charm to female beauty, especially in early youth, when the malady is of a consumptive or hectic character.' This was the case with the Princess Maglialene of France, who is described .by by, as a zreature too fair and exquisite for this work-day world, in which she was to have but brief continuance. King Jamul, beholding in her the realisation of his ,tseau•ideal of feminine loveliness and grace, determined to break through all contracts treaties, and entanglements that might prevent their union, and to woo and win her for his Queen.—Miss Strickland's New Series of Royal Biographies," Lives of the Queens of Scotland and English Princesses!' WHY HAVE THEATRES DECAYED ?—Managers, at all Nimes, have had recourse to strange, out.of-the-way ex pedients to excite the flagging zeal of the public, and draw the million to the theatre. Hence the introduction of horses, elephants, lions, dogs, and even monkeys. Bat it is not fair to lay the whole blame of this on the ill-starred speculator, who must pay his salaries on Satur day, and whose natural good taste often revolts against the course necessity compels him to adopt. If legitimate talent ceases to attract, it is something to find even a Belgian giant or a General Tom Thumb to retreat on and suppVythe deficiency. Who in his senses would lay out a large •sum on a vapid spectacle, if the sterling ore of Shakspeare or Sheridan maintained its current value? Many able writers and ardent lovers of the stage have thaught differently, and have penned eloquent essays to show that the managers depreciate the national taste, that the decline of the stage is entirely owing to their obtuseness, that they pander to depraved appetite, and that the public never fail to crowd the theatre when truth, passion, and nature are placed before them. Alas ! all this sounds well in theory, but reduce it to practice, and the sandy basis of the opinion soon shows itself. For a time, indeed, the premises may be borne out by the con clusion, but the insatiate thirst after variety wearies even of perfection itself. The manager who tries to lead or reform the public will gain the honours of martyrdom long before he accomplishes his object. Whitehead, when Poet Laurent, absolutely west so far as to apostro phise Garrick in a laudatory ode as follows : A nation's taste depend's on you, Perhaps a nation's virtue too. Garrick, although a very cormorant in swallowing flat tery, had been too long a manager not to know better than this. How he must have laughed in his sleeve at the.hyperbolical nonsense. No one ever questioned the classical attainments of John Kemble, or his love for the legitimate drama, yet it was under his management at Covent Garden that live horses were first introduced. A real elephant, and the renowned Newfoundland dog, "Carlo," , had already preceded them on the boards of old Drury. Carlo appeared in a spectacle written expressly for him by Frederick Reynolds (the celebrated writer of a hundred successful but ephemeral comedies), called the The Caravan, or, the Driver and his Dog. His perfor mance electrified the audience, and his attraction restored the affairs of the theatre. then on the verge of dissolution from a long run of ill success. On the first night, when the piece had concluded, Sheridan rushed on the. stage from his private box, in a frenzy of delight, shouting wildly, "My preserver—my preserve . ; I must embrace my preserver. Reynolds stepped forward, thinking, o f course, it was the author he demanded. ",No, no," cried Sheridan, pushing him aside, " I don't mean you ' • I want the dog," And all this occurred , not in these de generate times, but at the very epoch which Oratorical actors, at fund dlulmrs and other theatrical symposia, are fond of designating palmy days of the dramat- - DaNin University. lery of a spaeiou divisions.

More, by the permission of Henry VIII., took the learned • Erasmus to sisit the royal childisen at Shene, he mentions -.seeing Margaret with her brothers, Henry and Edmund, saying that-she was then a girl about eleven years old. He gives no praises toiler beauty ; indeed, at that period, her , portrait by Zabuse, painted in the same piece with her • brothers Henry and Edmund, presents the appearance of a little prim old woman, rather than the soft features of childhood. The costume is very plain and homel, —pro bably it might:he the habit belonging to the Carthusian coovutt at -Shene. All her bright hair is concealed, her head being covered with a hood, similar in form to those seen at the present day worn by female mourners follow ing the pedestrian funerals of the poor through the crowded streets of London. Mabuse painted many co pies of the portraits of the royal children : : one is familiar to the public, in the•long gallery at Hampton Court. The three children .look grave, and even grim., which was the fault of the hard literal pencil of Mabuseand his fading colours, rather than the hand of nature— , for the Tudor royal family had all.vezy bright complexions.; and Mar garet, although not remarkable for a classical outline of features, waslarned:fordilies and roses and a profusion of glittering hair. In the laampton Court group, her little brother Edmund, a solemn-looking baby of three years old, has his head covered with an infinity of pale yel low round mrls. He died when he was in his fourth year. Margaret Tudor-learned to write in her childhood, or rather to trace certain sgvare-looking• marks, which would resemble some of .the Oriental characters if they had more regularity. Her orthography was guided solely by the sounds she uttered ; and these prove that the per sons who formed her pronunciation placed strong aspira tions before all the vowels. She played on the lute, and danced nctively. Her performance of a quick lively donee, with her brother Henry as a partner, at a festival' of 'her brother Arthur's marriage with Katherine of Ar. ragen, was admired by the whole court.—Miss Strick latzd:s New Series of Royal Biographies, " Lives of the Queens of Scotland and English Prinees.ses." A REGISTRATION OFFICE MARRIAGE.—" Putting up the banns," and holiday clothes, and white gloves, and veils, and church aisles, and ringing bells, have been so long associated with a national idea of a wedding, that it is not unusual, after the brief forms of a matrimonial en gagement at the office of the Registrar have been gone throughout, and the parties are as legally man and wife as acts of parliament can make them, for the lady to raise an objection to the proceedings. "Is it ill over?" asks a surprised and trembling voice, "Yes," says the Registrar bowiniand smiling, " that is all. You are man and wire." "Oh !" is the semi-seasmodie response. "It seems like no wedding at all !" Then turning to the bridegroom, the lady may be heard appealing to the happy swain, and declaring " She would rather go to church as well." And often the ceremony is gone through according to the old fashions after the newer and shorter one has been com pleted. A wedding at the Superintendent Registrar's Office is certainly a very rapid and unimposing affair. The gentleman—says Mr. John Jones—gives notice to tile) registrar of the district in which they have lived during the previous seven days, that be has arranged a match between himself and Miss Mary Smith. A printed form is filled up with their nausea, rank, age, and place of resi dence. This is entered in a volume called the " Marriage Notice Book." This first step of the operation is per formed at the small charge of one shilling. The volume containing the solemn announcement remains in the re gistrar's office, " open at all reasonable times, without fee, to all persons • desirous of inspecting the same." The notice so entered is read before the next three-weekly meetings of poor-law guardians. Unless the wedding has been '' forbidden by any person authorised to forbid the s a me"- r and a sharp papa or mamma would be needed to find out what had been going forward if Miss Smith desired to keep the little affair secret—at the expiration of the three weeks, the happy couple, between the hours of eight and twelve in the morninr, may meet—accidentally of course—just by the office of Mr. Thompson, the regis trar, and walking in (also accidentally, of course), may, in the presence of two persons accidentally present—the Registrar's Clerk and a passing stranger, for instance — join in the following brief and innocent dialogue : " I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impedi ment why I, John Jones, may not be joined in matrimony to Nary Smith." One minute is enough for saying this. Whereupon the lady responds, "I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I, Mary Smith, may not be joined in matrimony to John Jones." Another minute has thus been passed. Emboldened by the lady's declaration, the gentleman next says, " I call upon flies persons present to witness that I, John Jones, do talc thee, Mary Smith, to be my lawful wedded wife." 1 third minute has passed, and the lady's turn has coin again, " I call upon these persons here present to wanes that I, Mary Smith, do take thee, John Jones, to he my lawful wedded husband." Just four minutes have been consumed, the fee is five shillings' and a shilling fora cer tificate, and Else affair is complete. No ring. no kneeling, no fuss.

CONFESSION or A MURDER COMMITTED FIVE YEARS AGO.—A servant in the employment of the Rev. Mr. Butson, of Clonfert, died last week in consequence of his having taken some drug used for extracting iron-moulds from linen, which he mistook for salts. On his death• bed he made a full confession of all the circumstances relating to the murder of Mr. Mason's steward, which took place in the month of September, 1845. The confession made will bring the guilty parties to justice ; severel per sons being engaged in the conspiracy to commit the mur der, nearly all of whom left for America after the tragedy was completed. OF ACTORS IN GENERAL, AND THEIR SALARIES IN PARTICULAR.--In all ages surcess.ul actors have teen an uncommonly well paid community. In Rome, Roscius, and lE.iopus, his contemporary, amassed prodigious for- tunes by their professional labours. Roscius was paid at the rate of £45 a-day, amounting to more than £15,009 per annum of our currency. He became so rich that at last he declined receiving any salary, and acted gratuit ously for several years. .lEsopus at an entertainment produced a single dish, stuffed with singing birds, width, according to Dr. Arbuthnot's computation, must have cost about £4.883 sterling. He left his son a fortune amounting to £200.000 British money. Decimus Labe rius, a Roman Knight, received from Caesar 20,000 croxns and a gold ring, for his first and only appearance on any stage. Garrick retired at the age of sixty, having been 35 years connected with the stage. He left behind him above £lOO,OOO in money, besides considerable pro perty in houses, furniture, and articles of vertu. Edmund Kean might have realised a larger fortune than Garrick, had his habits been equally regular. George Frederick Cooke ; in many respects a kindred genius to Kean, threw away a golden harvest in vulgar dissipation. The sums he received in America alone would have made him indo. pendent. John Kemble and Mrs. Siddons both retired rich, though less so than might have been expected. Young left the stage in the full zenith of his reputation, with undiminished powers and a handsome independence. Macreedy is about doing the same, under similar circum stances.
