The office of clerk of arraigns, vacant by the
melancholy suicide of Mr. Straight, will, it is believed (says
the Obserrer), be conferred upon Mr. S. R. Goodmee, the
chief clerk at the Mansion-house, a gentleman who, from
his long experience in the justice-room, must be fullyquali-
led for the appointment. The office is theoretically on the
gift of the judge, but in point of fact it rests with the Lord
Mayor for the time being, who nominates as first commis-
sioner of the court.
POLICE MAGISTRATE FOR MANCHESTER.—Tho
odics of stipendiary magistrate for Manchester, vacated by
the appointment of Mr. D. Mande toe police magistracy at
Greenwich, has been given to Mr. C. E. Mixon, at present
holding a Me appointment at Newcastle-on-=Zterhe
appointment was communicated to the Mayor of
by the Home Secretary on Saturday morning.
TIFITIMONTAL TO MR. WINTERBOTBAIL—We feel
a peculiar pleasure in inviting special attention to the an-
nouncement of a testimonial which is about to be presented
to bir.Winterbotham, who has just closed his year of office u
governor of the Incorporated Societyof LieensedVictuallers.
We are sure the entire trade will share with us the great grati-
fication with which we refer to the intended testimonial.
Never was a practical expression of personal regard, or of the
appreciation entertained of public services, better deserved
than in the case of Mr. Winterbotham. Of his private
worth it were impossible to speak in terms too high ; while
the talents, the seal, the time, and the attention which he
has devoted to the promotion of the interests of trade—of
which he is so bright an ornament—are the admiration of
all who have had an opportunity of observing the services
which he has rendered to those engaged in the same %mi-
ner se himself. Hie connexion with the Licensed Vic.
Waller,' Society may be said to constitute an era in the his-
tory of its institutions. As Mr. Wiaterbotham has a large
number of personal friends and admirers beyond the limits
of the trade who will be desirous of prautically expressing
their regent for kis integrity and abilities as a public man,
and his estimable character in the private relations of Ida,
we would suggest to the committee appointed to carry out
the testimonial that no time should be loin in letting the
het be officially known, that the friends and admirers of
Mr. Winterbotbam who may be unconnected with the
trade, will be allowed to join in the proposed tribute of
to one se very generallyas well as highly esteented,4

Tax GREAT FAILURE IN ASERDEIN.—The Aber-
deen Press of yesterday says :—For some time past
.painiel
rumours had been prevalent as to the pecuniary involve-
ment of one of the leading legal firesin this city ; and the
announcement in Tuesdays Gazette of sequestration of the
estate of Messrs. J. and A. Blaikie, advocates, brought the
matter before the public in a shape that renders
delicacy in referring to it needless. The business
of the firm, as is well known, as legal agents and
estate factors, was amongst the most extensive and
most lucrative in the north of Scotland. Indeed,
we ace not aware that the like extent of factorships foe
noblemen and gentlemen, landed proprietors, is held by any
other firm north of Edinburgh. The senior partner, Mr.
John Blade, has also for some tune held the office of Com-
missary Clerk for Aberdeerahire. As we have said,
rumours were for some time prevalent that the
arm were in serious difficulties, though it was understood
that some of the leading clients and principal cre-
ditors had consented to an arrangement that would
allow the business to carried on. This proves, however,
to have been impracticable. The embarrasaments of the
Arm are understood to have originated in extensive and
unsuccessful railway and other speculations, entered into
by the senior pulasr and running over a conaiderable
period. The amount at liabilities is stated to be between
900.0001. and 300,0001., and amongst those involved are
serious landed propietoos—several of them as securities or
otherwise—to a large amount, and we believe some of the
tanks to a lees extent.

on Wednesday next with the Canadian and United States

We deeply regret to state that the fears which
were entertained for the Welly of the Stornoway fishing
crews have been confirmed. The boat recently picked up
in the Pentland Firth and landed at Thurso, turns out to
be one of those "skied. There is, thereto», no room to
hops that any of the unfortunate crews have been saved.
