THE “NICCOLINI" JOB.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.)
A snug job has been got up within the last few days, in
the neighbourhood of St. Paul's which calls loudly for an ex-
p-ession of public feeling, and reliance is placed on the
patriotism of your journal to give vent to it ; because it
seems as if there was a determination in certain quarters to
counteract the efforts the Government so incessantly make
for the retrenchment of abuses.
Within a few hours after the news of Lord Stowell's
death reached London, the valuable office of the Master-
ship of Faculties was conferred on one of the Junior Advo-
cates in the Civil Law Courts, an ex-member of Sir Robert
Peel's Treasury Board, and the only son of the wealthy
Sir Jo'an Nichol!. _

No family under the old regime in the West Indies can
have monopolized patronage in any Court of Justice to
the extent which one family has monopolized it in the Ec-
clesiastical Courts in England. The balance of the Nic-
colini account with the public stands thus :
Judge of the Admiralty Court, Sir John Nicholl.
Judge of the Prerogative Court, Sir Herbert Jenner, ne.
phew to Sir John Nicholl.
Dean of the Arches, Sir Harbert Jenner.
Judge of the Peculiars, Sir Herbert Jenner.
Vicar-General, Sir John Nicholl.
King's Proctor, Mr. J. Nichol], nephew to Sir J. Nicholl.
Registrar of the Prerogative Court, Mr. Dyneley, nephew
to Sir John Nicholl.

Registrar of the Peculiars, Mr. Dyke, great nephew to Sir
John Nicholl.

Master of the Faculties, Dr. Nicholl, only son of Sir John
Nicholl.

Sit is time that these lucrative offices were placed
under the control of the Executive Government.

It appears from an advertisement in another part of
our paper, that a determined system of annoyance has
been pursued for a long time towards a respectable
tradesman, by some unprincipled vagabonds, who have
hitherto escaped detection. The facility with which
any person may be made the victim of anonymous
persecution through the Post-office, renders it the in-
terest of all who have it in their power, to assist in
dragging the base and skulking offenders to light, and
bringing them to condign punishment.
MINA.—The Augsburg; Gazette gives letters from
the frontiers of Italy and Turin, which throw doubts upon
the fidelity of General Mina to the present Government
of Spain, and intimates that he wishes to occupy the place
now filled by the Queen Regent.
A SHOWER OF PICTURES.—During the storm on
Saturday evening, a rather singular accident took place in
English-street, in this city, which, we understand, has
been attended with very considerable loss. A traveller
from the firm of Ackerman and Co., had been doing
business during the day in the town, and about eight
o'clock had sent a man to the shop of Mr. Thurnam,
bookseller, to bring up the street a large oblong box in
which was contained a great quantity of speeimens of
fancy drawings and plates. When outside the shop, he
was about tg lift the box by the handle fixed in the lid for
and the wind blowing a
the purpose, when it suddo4li tleIF Risen; (it not having
been properly locked and fixed,)
perfect hi4rrlA4r.le 4t the time, the pictures, to the number
of about three thousand, Were swept OPt 9r the box in a
moment, with only two 'exceptions?q. short time presented and nearly the whole
street around the market-place in
the Appegaiice of a vast fall of snow.—Carlialc Journal.
