CMATIMAN Op Tug SALrotto SEssioss.—We
stated, in our last, that Mr. Norris had been elected to fill this
office. The Manchester Papers have the following paragraph
on the subject:—" About half-past four o'clock a strong sen-
sation was created in court by the receipt of a letter from Mr.
Serjeant Cross, addressed to Mr. Ashworth. This letter was
not publicly read in court; but we understand, that in it the
learned serjeant requested Mr. Ashworth to apprise the Bar and
the Bench, that he did not consider the appointment of Mr.
Norris to the chair as final, until it had been confirmed by Lord
Bexley ; adding, that, according to the Act of Parliament, Mr.
Norris was not eligible, he -being a Magistrate appointed only
for a special purpose, under a particular Act of Parlia.ment.—
The appointment of Mr. Norris to the chair, of course, causes
a vacancy in the office of stipendiary Magistrate. Mr. Fell and
Mr. Foster are candidates ; and they both left the court, and
proceeded to London on Monday evening, to lay their claims
before Lord Bexley, the Chancellor of the Duchy, who has the
disposal of the office. Mr. Hall, a Barrister at Liverpool, is
`also a candidate.—( Liverpool Courier, July 27.)

A Du EL, which it is feared will prove fatal
in its consequences, was fought on Thursday morning, on
Crawley Common, between a Gentleman of the name of
EI.PIIINSTONE and a Mr. BAIUNAIIII. The meeting was oc-
casioned by an alleged at-Front on the part of 3lr. Et.rit twSONE
to a sister of Alr. IIartNARD, at an inn not far from Turner's
llill. The first fire had no effect, but in the second Mr.
ELPIIINSTONE was wounded on the side of the right breast,
and the ball was not extracted, although attempted by Mr.
BANKS, a professional gentleman. The parties are distantly
related. _

LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS.—One morning
lately, the citizens of a mercantile corner of Edinburgh were
amused with the descent of a fair damsel, attired in her robe de
chambre, from a window, by means of a ladder. She was re-
ceived into the longing arms of an amorous swain, who had been
for years kept in awful suspense, through the vigilance of
an ancient duenna. Report says, that the fair one had been
anxiously waiting an opportunity of throwing herself into the
embraces of the faithful youth ; but the watchful mother
regularly tool: away her clothes, and locked her into
her bed. room; hence it was that the maiden made her
escape in her night attire. The pair were united shortly after.

THE DEAD ALIVE.—A black man in Jamaica,
having tasted freely the contents of the bottle, was discovered
lying perfectly quiet in the street: information reached the Co-
toner of the circumstance, and he immediately issued his war-
rant for the summoning of a Jury, who accordingly met, and
with the Coroner, were proceeding in the preliminary steps re-
quisite on such occasions, when, to the consternation of all
present, while viewing the body, the man rose up arid declared
he was not dead as yet, and would, therefore, far the present,
save the Coroner and the Jury all further trouble.
