THE INCUMBENCY OF CLERKE V WELL.

On Tuesday evening a meeting of the vestry of St.
James's, Clerken well, was held in the Vestry-room,
Upper Rr:stonan•street, to consider what course should
hs pursued in c msequence of the decision of the Lords'
Justices in reference to the incumbency. Mr. Hill was
in the chair. Mr. Boulton, solicitor to tho vestry, pro-
duced a copy of the judgment delivered by their lord-
' ,kips, which was ordered to be entered in the minutes
slr. 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 mitten" He observed that the course
caken 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
eight of electing the incumbent. Mr. Wrenalds seconded
the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Holland
and other gentlemen. Mr. Glover, a dissenter, said be
was glad that the rights of the parishioners were about
to be restored to them. At the same time he thought
too much money had been squandered away in litiga-
tion. He believed that the parish was determined to
Meet the Rev. Mr. Maguire. Mr. Jones (churchwarden),
Mr. Mason, and Mr. Chavell also addressed the vestry.
tlr. Cantle moved an amendment, which led to some
warns 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,
Inswell-street, in support of the Rev. Mr. Maguire, as
candidate fur 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 uso
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 support
of the parish, since he knew that many parishioners who

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—Yest receiving
letters requesting us
erday the
ebldala inntcheeof CouncilB2,l
01ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Beard of
Works
J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement
showed that on the 27th of January, 1857, there was a
tf counsel with respect to the application of Messrs.
toarlgsewnearsahl
Broad wood, was read which recommended the Board to
reconsider the decision arrived at, but after a long dis-
cussion the report of the superintending architect was
adhered to, and the application for permission to proceed
with the rebuilding '
of premises as proposed was refused.
The Board shortly afterwards adjourned.

THE SPANISH LOAN.—The levers from Paris yester-
day mention a current report that M. Mires, finding hi
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 preposi
(ion, it is alleged, will be to take these certificates in
payment for his new stock, at a rate which would be
equivalent to 121. in cash. It is improbable, however,
that he would have allowed his t ,rrns to transpire pre-
viously to negotiation. The impression in Paris was
that the London committee demand 151., and the Am-
sterdam holders 121. 10s. ; but in the London negotia-
tions with M. Salamanca two or three years back the
priee insisted upon, it is believed, was only 101. 10i.
THE EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION AND SUNDAY TRAP.
ING.—The Board of Maragement of the above society
passed the following resolutions at its weekly meeting
of Wednesday last :—"lt,t. That the Board is of opinion
that the time has arrived when—as a sequence of its
efortsto secure an earlier payment of wages—more direct
and active steps should be taken by this association to
relieve those employers and assistants who are occupied
in shops on Sundays from the drudgery which is thus
entailed upon them, especially as these classes are noto-
riously the most overworked during the week, particu-
larly on Saturdays. 2d. That measures be taken to
accomplish the great object referred to in the foregoing
resolution as soon as the funds of the society are
