THE PUBLIC BCSIXML—Without pretending to
any peculiar knowledge of the secrets of the Cabinet, we
believe we may state with confidence that there is
no foundation whatsoever for statements made by some
of our contemporaries, to the effect that a reform bill
has been under the consideration of the ministers ; that
its details have been agreed upon ; that it has given rise
to divisions, and such like. The public may rest as-
sured that no division has occurred ; no determination
has yet been arrived at in connection with this important
subject ; perhaps we may say its consideration has scarcely
even been approached.—Dubrin Ereninp Mail.
In addition to the list of medical mayors pub-
lished in the Lanett of last week. we have to announce the
followinz 0ke11,11.11.C.5.E., has been re-elected
mayor of the borough of Over, Cheshire ; George May,
M.R.C.S.E., mayor of Italdom Lae: (for the third thin);
John Alfred Lush, 31. D., .M.E.C.S.E., mayor
of Salisbury ; and George Corpse, 3LE.S.E., mayor of
