THE REPRESENTATION OF TRH METROPOLIS.—W
can state from an intimate acquaintance with the circum-
stances of the various metropolitan boroughs, that every one.
with the exception of Marylebone, will be severely con'
tested. At present it looks as if Westminster were destined

Indeed,Arrsn;ni
is not unlikely that the Liberal and Conservative partial
will each bring forward a candidate for that borough. In the
City, the feeling in favour of a change in the representation, is
every day becoming more and more decided and general. Some
of the Liberals, dissatisfied with Lord John Russell, have
proposed putting up Mr. Hume against his Lordship. They
urge, in support of the idca, that nothing could be more ar
propriate than that the oldest and most consistent Reformer
in Parliament, should close his long and commendable career
as a public man, as the representative of the first city in
the
world. The Members for Marylebone have great reason to
congratulate themselves on their exemption from the trouble
and turmoil of a contested election, when they see each of the
other metropolitan boroughs on the eve of an electioneering
crisis.—Morning Advertiser.

pied by Mr. Saxton, a timber merchant, whose property
extends from Upper Ground-street almost as far as Sam'

" Mary Seabam (says the John Bull) is an admirable v. 11.9,7,
—a powerfully conceived novel founded on a plot of TN
moral and dramatic interest. The style in which it is
is lively and attractive, with powerful touches and incid u

remarks, showing a deep insight into the workings of hey
nature. The heroine is perfect in her sweet tenderness,
womanly devotion, and the lofty dignity to which she rises
under the discipline of her sharp trials."
