Ptice One Shilling Monthly, or 12s. fora whole Year,
TBIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE,
in one particular, has, by universal admission, a decided
superiority over all the Magazine literature of the country ; we
refer to the abstracts which it furnishes of the more important
and interesting publications which daily issue from the press.
The care, good taste, and decrimination with which these ara
generally prepared, are so complete, that the reader is in tooPt
cases furnished with a condensed view of nearly all that is
valuable in the volumes reviewed. To those who have little
spare time for reading, this a most invaluable quality in a pe-
riodical.—Stirling Observer.

THE VACANT OFFICE OF TOWN-CLERK.—The
Corporation will, it is said, considerably reduce the salary of
the office of Town-Clerk, vacant by the lamented death of Mr.
Woodthorpe. 'that able officer had an income of 2,0001. per
annum, but many of the members of the Corporation have
always considered that sum more than an adequate remunera •
tion ; and, it is believed, that Mr. Woodthorpe's successor's
emoluments will not
.exceed from 1,2001. to 1,5001. a year.
Two or three persons are spoken of as likely to be candidates
for the situation, which cannot be properly filled except by a
man long experienced in the local duties nd laws of the Cor-
poration.
