MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Ves-
ry, Mr. Salomons stated that the sheriffs had taken the
opinion of counsel on the power of a returning officer to
resign his trust, and that the opinion had been against
him. Ile now begged to draw the attention of the ves-
try to what he considered a very important subject ;
that the notices and lists which had been sent him for
signature from the officers of the various parishes were
addre iced to him as " Town Clerk of the Borough of
Marylebone;" he would ask whether he was town clerk?
There was another important subject, which was this:—
The law compelled him to serve as returning officer, but
it did not compel him to pay the expenses of the office
out of his own pocket. Parliamentary returns had been
called for, and when he (Mr. Salomons) sent to the
vestry clerks of the parishes, they replied that they
would not incur expense, and that they had no funds at
their disposal for such a purpose. lle had, therefore,
paid for them himself, running the chance of getting re-
paid. His successor might refuse to do that, and the
parish would then be placed in a strange position. Ile,
therefore, urged the whole subject upon the attention of
the vestry.
After some discussion the matter was referred to the
Committee.
On the deferred motion coming on, which was passed
on the Bth of May, for obtaining the sanction of the
vestry towards the necessary arrangement for purchas-
ing a site for the baths and washheuses, a memorial
was presented by 230 rate-payers, calling on the vestry
not to sanction the expenditure of so large a sum to-
wards the completion of the proposed plan. A letter
was read from Mr. Staunton, complaining of the
statements made by Sir Peter Laurie at this vestry, re-
specting the establishment of baths and washhouses in
the parish of St. Martin. Sir Peter had stated, that the
parish of St. Martin had taken a mows for their build-
ing; that they were going to have water turned off from
the reservoir in Trafalgar-square, after the fountains had
been worked by it all day; that it would be necessary to
pull down several houses; that they were involved in
difficulty, and that the thing was at a standstill. All
these statements he denied most positively. The ground
which the parish had rented for ninety-nine years never
had been a mews. The water to be suppled was not to
be that from the reservoir in Trafalgar-square. It was
not contemplated to take down any houses; ❑or had the
commissioners of St. Martin's been in any difficulties,
nor had they been brought to a standstill. On the
contrary, all their proceedings hitherto had met with
the unanimous concurrence of the ratepayers in open
vestry.

After this statement had been read,
Mr. ARMSON moved the non-confirmation of the mi-
nutes of the Bth of May, on the ground that the extent
of land being so much curtailed, it would not be politic
in the vestry to purchase the site.
Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, and said that
what he had stated about the baths and washhouses of
St. Martin applied to the baths at Whitechapel.
Earl MANNERS supported the non-confirmation; and,
after some discussion, the motion was non-confirmed by
a large majority.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.—On Saturday informa-
tion was given that either on Thursday night or early
on Friday morning the shop of Mr. Lewis Abraham,
watchmaker, in Duke. street, Aldgate, was entered, and
plundered of about 20 gold and 200 silver watches; 51
of the latter were what are called " consolar " lever
watches; 20 small silver hunting watches, numbered
from 3,241 to 3,312; 40 lever and verge watches, num-
bers from 3,200 to 3,2.39, and the others various. A
reward of 100/. has been offered for the discovery of the
depredators.

A letter from Rome of the Ist instant announces
the return of the Pope on the previous day from Subiaco,
where he went to take possession of the Abbey, of which he
has appointed himself the Superior. An immense crowd
went a distance of several miles to meet his holiness, and ae-
couiPanied him to Rome.
