but we will not attribute any motive for not taking what
must at once appear the direct steps. It may be his peal'
liar way of doing business ; but we are of opinion that it
ought not to be tolerated, and that the ratepayers of the
township which he represents would do well to look out for
a successor to perform those, duties for which he acknow
ledges himself to be unfit.

NOTES OF THE DAY,

The Clerk of the Peace of Liverpool, it will be seen, has
had no difficulty in vindicating his position, which wtel,
called in question with so much animosity by a portion 01
the Town Council. Vice-Chancellor Sir William yage
Wood has ruled that. " he Was absolutely entitled to the,
fees, and could not part with a single shilling of those fees.
to the persons 'who had appointed him,"—signiticantlY
adding, that "the, law assumed that lie required for the
dignity of his office all those fees which were assigned to
him by law, nor was he allowed to assign or encumber
them." This declaration settles the question, we humbb"
think, whether in a legal or a moral point of view. We
know it is popularly said in the town, that the Clerk of the
. Peace has been legally right, but morally wrong. As the
case haS becii—ei-plaiied by the Tice-Cliancellor, however,
there can be no such distinction as this, between what is
legal and what is moral. The law requires a certain court
of procedure,—the Clerk of the Peace has strictly obscrved that
course. And surely it cannot be immoral to observe bor.

reports about the extraordinary prevarations for fitting out
the Brest and Cherbourg fleets, which are still so rife.
Lord John RusSell, it will be remembered, contradicted
these reports in his place in. Parliament. But it is even
more confidently than ever asserted, that such preparation:
are indeed going on,—that orders have been given to build
additional steam-transports, to carry forty thousand men,
and for the construction of gunboats of a very suspicions
description. - Let us hope that the subject is not being over'
looked at head quarters.

There is a Bonaparte in this country, at present, pursuing.
a vocation .which contrasts very remarkably with that of the
more eminent member of the family who occnPies the
throne of France. Prince Lucien, we learn, is now sojdurn-
ing among the Weardalc'Hills, on the confines of 'Durhant
and Cumberland, translating the " Song of Solomon" into
the dialect of the country, intending, when he has finished
his task there, to proceed on a similar mission to Craven, in
Yorkshire. We do not exactly see the practical utility of
such a work, since the denizens of those districts, although,
speaking, in ordinary, their respective dialects, fully•under-
stand English in, its purer state. However, it is a very
