Tll P 3 INCUMBENCY OF CLERKE V WELL.

On Tuesday evening a meeting of the vestry of St.
James's, Clerkenwell, was held in the Vestry-room,
Upper Rosomau'street, to consider what course should
he pursued in consequence of the decision of the Lords'
Justices in reference to the incumbency. Mr. Hill was
in the chair. Mr. Boulton, solicitor to the vestry, pro-
duced a copy of the judgment delivered by their lord-
ships' which was ordered to be entered in the minutes
Mr. Foster then moved the following resolution :
" That this vestry, being perfectly satisfied with the re-
cent decision of the Lords' Justices, do not take any
further steps in the matter." He observed that the course
taken by the vestry in electing the Rev. Mr. Maguire was
forced upon them, and he was glad that the vestry was
in a position to restore to the parishioners their ancient
right of electing the incumbent. Mr. Wrenalds seconded
the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Holland
and other gentlemen. Mr. Glover, a dissenter, said he
was glad that the rights of the parishioners were about
to lie restored to them. At the same time he thought
too much money bad been squandered away in litiga-
tion. He believed that the parish was determined to
elect the Rev. Mr. Magnin.. Mr. Jones (churchwarden).
Mr. Mason, and Mr. Uhavell also addressed the vestry.
Mr. Cantle moved an amendment, which led to some
s:artn discussion ; after which the chairman put the
question, when the amendment was lost by a large
majority, and the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Last night a crowded meeting of the parishioners of
St. James, Clerkenwell, was held in the schoolroom,
Amwell-street, in support of the Rev. Mr. Maguire, as
candidate for the incumbency of the parish. Mr. Hill,
a vestryman, was in the chair, and several influential
inhabitants of the parish were present. Mr. Aldridge,
Mr. Webb, &c., addressed the meeting, and resolutions
were unanimously passed pledging the meeting to use
their utmost exertions towards insuring the election of
the rev. gentleman. The Rev. Mr. Maguire came for-
ward, and was received with loud and protracted cheers.
He spoke for nearly an hour, and expressed his strong
assurance that he should have almost the entire supportho
n
of the parish, since he knew that many parishdioendertshwei

THE SPANISH LOAN.—The letters from Paris yester-
day mention a current report that M. Mires, finding bi
Spanish loan of 3,000,0001. exceedingly heavy, intend
to visit London next week to offer terms to the holder
of the certificates of confiscated coupons. His prepcs..i
tion, it is alleged, will be to take these certificates in
payment for his new stock, at a rate which would b
equivalent to 121. in cash. It is improbable, however,
that he would have allowed his terms to transpire pre-
vious; yto negotiation. The impression in Paris was
that the London committee demand 15/., and the Am-
sterdam holders 121. 10s. ; but in the London negotia-
tions with M. Salamanca two or three years back the
prise insisted upon, it is believed, was only 16/. 103.
