and Lord Lovaine. The show of hands was in favour of
Sir George Grey and Lord Lovaine. The polling takes
place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
MERIONETH (COUNTY).
Mr. Richard Richards returned without opposition.
MONMOUTHSHIRE.
In consequence of the connexion of Lord Granville
Somerset, the late Member, with Sir' Robert Peel's Go-
vernment, and the support given by the Noble Lord to
the free-trade measures proposed by the late Premier,
the Duke of Beaufort (Lord Granville's brother) has
started his nephew, Captain Somerset, as a candidate
against Lord Granville. It is a second edition of the
Grantley and Grenville comedy that the Berkeleys have
been acting in West Gloucestershire. We should hope
that the Duke's nominee in Monmouthshire will meet
with the fate of the Earl's nominee in West Gloucester.
The nomination took place at Monmouth on Saturday,
and the show of hands was greatly in favour of Lord
Granville Somerset and Mr. Octavius Morgan, the former
representatives.

LEEDS.

A slight stir, preparatory to the coming general
election, has been made in Leeds. The. Conservative
party are. apparently inactive, but it is expected that
they tvill bring fo,rward the present representative, Mr.
W. Beckett, -who- is sure toL be elected if he will allow
himself to be nominated, which it is confidently stated
he will. The truly liberal of the reform party will
probably give their suffrages to Mr. Aldam, the present
c-ileague of Mr. Beckett, provided he offers himself for
re-election. 1. he Anti-State Education party have in-
duced Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham, to come and
feel his way with the electors and non electors. On
Thursday Mr. Sturge was met by about 400 of the elec-
tors, out of a c,instituency of upwards of 6,000, at a
meeting at the Music-hall.
Aft-r some discussion, it was agreed that a committee
should be formed to get up a requisition to Mr. Sturge,
who announced that he would address the non-electors
,in Monday next. Though Mr. E. Baines, jun., sup-
port-d Mr Sturge, he said that he did not agree with
all that he (Mr. Sturge) had said.
HUDDERSFIELD.
An attempt has been made by the Anti-State Edu-
cation section of the electors of this borough to get a
candidate of their " own kidney," and they have talked!
of soliciting the chairman of the Anti Corn-law League
(Mr. George Wilson), to come forward, but their efforts
are likely to prove futile. Mr. W. R. C. Stansfield, the
present Member, in all probability will be elected with-
out opposition.

COPY OF OPINION.

" We are of opinion that a Court of Common Council
K ill be dissolved if all the Aldermen present, or all
except one, withdraw themselves therefrom after the
Court is formed. _ _

" Independent of the practice which has prevailed,
in the City of London for nearly two centuries of
holding Courts of Common Council without a majo-
rity of the Aldermen, we might have felt ourselves
hound by the modern decisions, reported in 1 Barn
and Cross, 492-4 T. It., 810-6 T. It., 268, and 4
East, 294, to say that the presence of a majority of
the Aldermen is requisite to form a Common Council
AN however, such a practice has so long prevailed, we
cannot say that Courts may not continue to be hell,
provided Aldermen be present ; and finding no ex-
' press declaration of any precise number as requisite
to give authority to a Court, we are of opinion that
the smallest number beyond one may be sufficient.

atr. Rogerson was elected and sworn in, and exercised his
uT?e within tea days after the arrival of the letters patent,
Which_ was a clear recognition, and amounted to an appoint-- in law. Mr. Watson had argued that the office was
never filled, and that the election Was informal, because it
leas too early ; there might have be,,n some irregularity, but
was cured, and therefore it was rather too much for those
persons. to Vim round now and repudiate their own acts, and
BttY_ that the office was vacant ; but there could be no doubt
olaVvhen once a person was elected and exercised the duties
v ls office, that he was duly elected, and that he was en-

Throughout the whole of his Parliamentary care sr
TMONLMI SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE has proved himse df
to be—in word and act, in heart and soul—a Tribur ie
of the People. Among all the distinguished R
formers of our generation he is conspicuous as shot it
the most consistent and the most chivalrous. Hence i t
is that Mr. DURCOMBE has acquired such universaa
popularity ; hence it is that in all the mutations off
poli;bical partizanship, in all the fluctuations of public
sympathy, and in all the changes of the supremel.`,,
Government, his name has continued to be the objetet
of national respect, and in a great measure too of
na:ional affection. Even the nickname which has fall en 1
j
upon him in the excitement of electioneering enth, a-
skim, and which sticks to him like a burr, is in sot le
.sirt a tolerable indication that he is a favourite wil h
the multitude.
" The Finsbury Pet." But Tuoiii,a
DinlcomnE is more than the Finsbury Pet: he has,,
T y his courageouA and unflinching conduct as a.
itberal legislator, ensured for himself the admiration
of every sincere and
earnest lover oir
constitutional Reform. Both
as a parliamentary'
P
debater and as an advocate of those whose extreme-
lowliness denies them all except such generous and .
-spontaneous assistance as that continually afforded by - 1
the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Finsbury—as an •
assiduous committeeman, and as one whose name is •
perpetually recurring in the division lists, Mr. Dux- .
,COACEIIII is eminently entitled to the enviable consi- •
deration he has now for a considerable period enjoyed.

We mentioned in our last that the requisition in fa-
vour of Lord John Hay had not been responded to, and
that consequently Mr. Dunlop was then the only candi-
dute in the field. The committee appointed by the meet-
ing of Lord J. Hay's requisitionists lost nu time in put-
ting themselves in communication with Lord Melgund,
and received from him an assurance that if the constitu-
ency expressed a wish for his services, he was willing to
offer himself for their suffrages.—Greenock Adoertiser,

the electors of the Northern Division of the county of

thereto, he says that nothing but his indisposition to sa-

SOUTH DURHAM.

Mr. Ferrer has issued an address to the electors of the
Southern Division of this county, offering himself as a
candidate in the room of Mr. Bowes, who retires. Lord
Harry Vane has not yet signified his intentions, and ru-
mours are afloat that he also intends to resign in favour
of his brother, Lord William Powlett, who is a Protec-
tiouist. The Duke of Cleveland is understood to have
either suggested or sanctioned this arrangement.
NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND. •
Lord Lovaine and Lord Ossulston have completed their
canvass of the Northern Division, and have issued ad-
dresses thanking the electors for the promises of support
they have received. They speak with the utmost confi-

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.'
The Liberal party in this borough have, it is said, in-
duced Mr. Watson, Member for Kinsale, to offer himself
as

a candidate at the en-suing general election, in opposi-
,ion to Mr. Hodgson Hinde ; and his address, it is ex-
pected, will be published in a tew dhys. Mr. Ord, the
present Member, will also stand, so that there is every
probability of a severe contest.
KINGSTON-UPON-HULL.
Since our last a candidate has announced himself for
the representation of this borough, in the person of Mr.
James Clay, who was unsuccessful at the election in
1841. This gentleman has published an address, in
which he pro:esses Liberal principles, and recapitulates
the main points of that political creed We are not aware
that any committee has yet been formed in his behalf, or
that any active canvass has been instituted to secure his
return. We hi- ar no definite mention Id his intended
colleague ; the only rumour on the subyect being that,
at a meeting of Conservatives on Monday, it was sug-
gested that. application should be made to Sir James
Graham to allow himself to be put in nomination for
th►s boron h, v hick he represented at the outset of his
careen We learn that a communication haa been opened
with the Right Hun. Baronet to this effect ; but the re.
stilt. if such a course be in agitation, has not transpired.

TH6 .I,llltitint.

The story of the " Miser's Will" is concluded in
this number, and concluded somewhat abruptly.
Hastings, the Miller, disabused of his false suspicions
of his wife, seeks a reconciliatiin with her--(our
readers will remember that she was living in the house
of Smith,- the rascally apothecary, as Mrs. Cart-
wright)—and Sinith, finding his intrigues have been
discovered, murders Hastings, and straightway pro-
duces the will which Hastings had made in his favour.
A later will, however, is produced in favour of Mau
rice Herbert (the Frederick Wilson of the early part
of the story), the lover of Mary, and the guilt of
Smith is discovered. Smith hangs at the Ohl Bailey,
And Maurice and Mary are married. From a pal:er,
entitled " Notes on Cambridge," by an Under-gra-
duate, we extract the following :
" We wish, however, to recotninead one or two thint:s
to the notice of our reader;. as the changes which would
most likely tend to increase the usrfulttess of our coll,lzus
and halls. Extravagance must be checked, before a
large class of persons will be eilabl d to t njoy tapir ad-
vantages. We think too that the number of siz .rships
might with great propriety be auzinented Although
C4Tabridge abounds with scholarships opened, in nearly
@very case, to every British subject, yet‘they require, lor
the most part, a previoas residence in the University
We think many men Katy be found, whose talents would
reflect honour on their professi,dis, but who are unable
even to enter their names 011 the Colh-ge books from
lack of means, much less reside the major part of one
whole year."
This is very well as far as it goes, but a much more
sweeping reformation is needed before our universi-
ties can become the useful educational establishments
which they were intended to be by their founders.
The other papers of this number (with the exception
of the one entitled " Jenny Lind, or the Idolatry of
.v°1",") are excellent. The paper to which we take
Exception is a diatribe against music, written some-
jlat after the fashion of Plato's diatribe against
poetry, almost as clever, and to the full as unjust.
