INAUGURATION OF TILE LORD MAYOR.—At eleven
o'clock this day the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and town
councillors assembled at the Mansion House, and shortly
after proceeded in state to the City Assembly House in
William• street, for the purpose of installing Alderman
Staunton in all the civic honours attached to the station
of Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin. On reaching the
City Assembly House, the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor
elect, and Mr. O'Connell were received by the people
with loud cheers. On entering the council room, the in-
troductory proceedings having been speedily disposed
of, the insignia of office were placed on the shoulders
of Alderman Staunton, who made and subscribed the
oath prescribed; after which the ex-Lord Mayor de-
scended from the chair, to which the Lord Mayor
ascended, and, having made his bow to the council, his
salutation was received with loud cheers.

WOOLWICH, JAN. 3.—ENROLLED PENSIONERS.—
In consequence of some misunderstanding in the minds
of the pensioners and their wives and families as to the
condition under which: they were to serve as an embo-
died corps in New Zealand, an order was issued on
Saturday from the Secretary of War, stating that, in
the event of any pensioner dying in that colony before
the expiration of the seven years appointed as the period
of enrolment, their wives and families, if they prefer it,
will be sent back to England at the public charge; and
if, at the end of that period, the pensioners wish to re-
move to any other part of the colony, the Government
will give them, in lieu of their cottage and acre of land,
an allotment of twenty acres in any part of the colony.
MISERLY HABITS OF LORD CHANCELLOR TREVOR.
—He lived ever afterwards very privately, and found
his chief delight in accumulating money. He became so
great an economist, that he even grudged a glass of wine
to a poor relation. It is recorded of him, that "he had
dined by himself one day at the Rolls, and was drinking
his wine quietly, when his cousin, Roderic Lloyd, was
unexpectedly introduced to him, from a side door. You
rascal,' said his Honour to the servant, and you have
brought my cousin, Roderic Lloyd, Esquire, Prothono-
tary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron Price, &c., &c.,
&c., up by back stairs. Take my cousin, Roderic Lloyd,
Esquire, Prothonotary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron
Price, &c., &c., &c.,—take him instantly down my back
stairs and bring him up my front stairs.' Roderic In
vain remonstrated, aad while ho was conveyed down the
back stairs and up the front stairs, the bottle and glasses
were removed by his Honour—some law books and
papers taking their place."—Campbell's Lives of Chan-
cellors.

TIIREATENED SECESSION FROM THE ENGLISH
CHURCH. —The Rev. Dr. Holloway, incumbent minister
of Fitzroy Chapel, London-street, Tottenham-court-
road, London, has addressed a letter to the, Lord Chan-
cellor, in which he prays his Lordship's opposition to
some " novel regulations and further encroachments upon
the pristine liberty of the labouring clergy," which it is
intended to introduce into the House of Lords in the
course of next session. The Rev. Gentleman, after ad-
verting to the laws in force with respect to the clergy,
alludes to the proposed regulations for the "correction
of clerks," which he severely condemns, inasmuch as he
contends that if more absolute power be made over to
the hierarchy, so that any and every bishop, ad arbi-
trum suam, may depose his, man for preaching, propa-
gating, or implanting what such bishop, according to
his own views and sentiments, may consider " unbe-
coming a clergyman," there will be no class of men
in Christendom placed in greater jeopardy or more ab-
ject slavery, than the evangelical clergy, against whom,
he alleges, the shaft is directed. Dr. Holloway views
with great alarm, these and other contemplated
changes, and assures the Lord Chancellor that, if per-
sisted in, a large number of clergymen (probably as
many as 4,000) will leave the pale of the Established
Church.
SUNDAY TRAINS.—The list of names subscribed to
the memorial presented to the Board of Directors, for
the re-establishment of the two passenger trains on Sun-
day, has now been published ; and we have no hesitation
in saying, that we never saw a more influential list of
names, embracing men of all parties, to any document
relative to any matter of local interest. A contempo-
rary, in its remarks relative to this list, clearly esta-
blishes, from distinct quotations from all the written
documents on the part of the memorialists, that they have
from the first to the last, limited their demand to. the
Sunday trains, as used for the last four years, and the
use of which has been suspended so arbitrarily by the
directors, and that nothing beyond this is contended
for. An appeal having now been made to the share-
holders, and as to the result of which no doubt is en-
tertained, we would particularly impress upon the Scottish
shareholders firmly to express their opinions, as we feel
confident that a vast majority of them must be satisfied
that their directors have committed a most egregious
blunder, to say the least of it. This is particularly
called for at this juncture, in order to prevent a new
ground of clamour, which will inevitably follow,' that a
measure is forced upon the country, by the votes of
Englishmen, contrary to the sentiments of the people.
Certainly there can be no justice in any such outcry, as
we consider that the partners of any joint stock com-
pany, whether resident in England or Scotland, are en-
titled to manage their own concerns in their own way ;
but from the character of the opposite party, we are
sure that the result will be as we state, unless the
Scottish proprietors do their duty.—Glasgow Saturday
Post.

DEAD MAN'S WILL.—I can tell you of a fancy
that some people have in the wilder parts of Craven,
that if the mark of a dead prsom (the body, hoslever,
not being cold) be put to will, it is valid in law. A few
years ago a case of this nature occurred. A farmer had
omitted to make his will. He died ; and before the
body was cold a will was prepared by some relative (of
course in his own favour), and a mark, purporting to be
that of the deceased, was made by putting the pen into
the hand of the dead man, and io making his mark to
tit T. 43 body of the nt.:ot was no ;hc.n cold. 'rile
