ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.

It is early 3-et to speak in decided terms of a peri-
odical which has only just reached its third number;
but, so far as we can venture to form an opinion from
the monthly specimens that have appeared, we should
be disposed to augur favourably of the prospects of the
St. James's Magazine. In particular, the present
number is a very excellent one, abounding in varieties
both in prose and verse. Sketchy as it is, the account
of Rabelais is well worth reading, for it displays
a very creditable acquaintance with the subject, and
a sincere admiration of the genius of the first humorist
that France ever produced. " The Recall," by Mrs.
Ward, is a sweet and touching poem, describing the
repentance of a thoughtless wife, who, while meditat-
ing an elopement from her domestic hearth, is sul-
denly recalled to a sense of her duties, by the faint cry
of her child in the chamber adjoining her own. The
" Afghanistan Expedition Considered" adopts the
=dente and dispassionate view of the question, 4nd

Tics Orricu or TOWN CLERK.—On Saturday
the Committee of Clerks and Office,' assembled at Guildhall
for the purpose of making arrangements relative to the office of
town cirrk. Mr. Richard Lambert Jones was in the chair ;
and some details with respect. to the duties of the office wore
entered into, and some regulations were made. It is now
quite ...Retain that the present City Solicitor will be elected to
the vacant office. The contest for the office of City Solicitor
will, it is expected, be a spirited one.; and Mr. Dobie is con-
fidently spoken of by many of the members of the Corporation
as likely to be the successful candidate. He is very strongly
supported by some of the most influential men of both 'Courts,
who are fully aware of his high capabilities, and appreciate his
character and gene al claims. Mr. Ellis, who was a partner
in the hw!,:' of Alderman Thomas Wood and Ellis, is also a
candidate, and so is Mr. Jackson, but it is supposed that the
latter will not go to the poll. • -- • '

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered ; possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect 'weetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is:naseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted-,resisfng all acids, may be cleaned as silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; en its intrinsic merits
alone he wishes it to be tested. And from the daily increasing
eulogiums he receives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent
its becoming an article of universul wear.
Foreign Orders promptly executed.

by Mr. Jobson, who is a candidate for the representation of the

" Who runs may read."

ronziGN.

The original columns of the Paris journals are wholly without
interest. They consist of an analysis of the discussion of Wed.
nesday in the Chamber of Deputies. with running comments
chiefly on the Spanish question, which are strongly marked with
party feeling, and are in essence either a mere reproduction of
what was 'aid by the speakers on the debate, or of the arguments
already and frequently used by our Contemporaries on the same
subject.

" Letters from St. Fetersburgh, written by persons worthy of
credit, announce," says the Frew, " that the Emperor Nicholas
has promised the hand of the Grand Duchess Olga to the Duke of
Nassau." •

The Legitimist party in France are endeavouring to obtain for
the Duke of Bordeaux the hand of the youngest daughter of the
Emperor of Russia, who is only 17 years of age, and Viscount
d'Arlincourt is to proceed shortly to St. Petersburgh for this purpose.
It was some time ago stated in The Sun that a Jury of Inquiry
was to be assembled at Barcelona, to decide whether there were
grounds for the prosecution of the Cons/dude/sal of that city for
a violent article which is published against the King of the
French, and for which the French Consul had de-
manded satisfaction. The Jury met on the 31st ult., and, not-
withstanding the virulence of the articles, in which the King of
the French is stated to be anxious fur the destruction of Espartero,
although not bold enough, like a Frenchman, to attack his enemy
openly, but to be " like a vile Venetian who strikes in the dark and
and pours poison into the cup, and who has perhaps already in
Madrid assassins charged with this infamous action," they came
to an unanimous verdict that there were no ,round • for prosecution.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yestertlay.)

LONGFORD.
The examination of tke Witnesses to the qualification having
*eluded, the vote of J. Dogherty was decided to be a bad
one, ong struck off the poll, and the Committee also came to
the deeittion of applying to all the cases the solvent tenant test.
Mr. AUSTEN then, on the part of the sitting Member (Mr.
White), stated that the seat would not farther be defended, and
that Wile withdrew from the contest.
The incog is thus virtually terminated ; it only retraining for
the Commi
e to strike off a sufficient number of votes to give
the petaioner the majority. This the Committee proceeded
to do, and bad struck aff seven votes at four o'clock, when
it adjourned.

IPSWICH.

Mason address the electors from the busting'', when he said,
that 2,0001., 3,000/., :or even a sacrifice of 10,0001.. should
,not stand in the way of his being returned for Ipswich.
Mr. Rennie followed in a similar strain; but the witnem
would not undertake to swear that he said more than
"money shall b 0 needistaele in the way of our election." He
alicl a person, named alter Edgley, addressed a letter to Mr.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 15.

This being the first day of term, the Lord Chief Justice,
Justice. Coltman, Erskine, and Creswell, took their seats on
tho bench soon after half-past one o'clock.

THE PARISH OF BATTLE V. ♦INBPE.

This was an action brought by the churchwardens and over-
seer of the parish of Battle (Sussex), to obtain possession of
certain lands claimed by them as the property of the parish.
The verdict was given for the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Straw this day obtained a rule nisi for a new
trial, on the grounds that improper evidence had been admitted,
and that the action was not brought by the proper parties, the
lawful representatives of the parish in matters of property
being, the guardians of the union with which it was incorpo-
rated. in 1819, for the first time, the churchwardens
aid overseer's of a parish were constituted a corpo-
ration, and the possessors of the parish property by the Act
of Parliament, the 59th George 111., c. 12 ; but in 1834
the Act of the 4th and sth William IV., c. 69, com-
monly called the Poor-law Amendment Act, constituted the
guardians of a union a corporation, and the holders of the
property belonging to each pariah in the union with
full power to take all proceedings at law respecting such
property as if it were their own. The Learned Sergeant,
therefore, contended that they were the parties who should
have sued in this case. The last-mentioned Act gave power
to the Justices of the Peace to issue warrants for the removal
of trespassers from lands or houses belonging to any parish
in the union, upon application to them by the guardians. The
latter had availed themselves of that clause of the Act, and the
entry made under the warrant accordingly issued, was the only
possession (as far as the evidence went at the trial) the parish
ever had of the lands in question. This evidence, he contended,
ought not to have been received, as the case in which the
guardians of the union proceeded as for their property, could
not be considered the same as that in which the churchwarden
and overseer of a distinct parish proceeded for property as theirs.
He further contended, that the evidence adduced was not suffi-
cient to show that the parisk had ever possessed a right against
the Lord of the Manor, under whom the defendant held.
The COURT could not think that the evidence of the pro-
ceedings en the part of the guardians ought to have been
admitted ; but on the other points their Lordship; gave a rule
to show cause.

KENSAL-GREEN CEMETERY.

MESSRS. DEBENHAM and STORR have
received instructions from the Executors of the
late Thomas Harrison, Esq., to SELL by AUCTION, at
Garraway's, on WEDNESDAY, April 20, at Twelve,
Seven SHARES and Seven- Tenths of SHARES in the
Corporation of the GENERAL CEMETERY COMPANY.
This Corporatior. was es ablished in the year 1832 ; its opera-
tions are carried on in the village of Kensal-green, on the Har-
row- road. The expectations or its projectors and most san-
guine supporters have been more than realised. The dividend
declared in June, 1841, was 6 per cent., a fact which, coupled
with the increasing objection, manifested by all classes, to in-
terments being any longer permitted in the Metropolis, leads
to the inevitable conclusion that this undertaking will rank as
one of the safest and most profitable to which this age of Com-
panies has given rise.
The Shares may be seen at the Auctioneers' offices, King-
street, Covent-garden, where Particulars and Uonditions of
Sale may be obtained ; as also of Messrs. Mayhew, Johnston,
and Mayhew, 26, Carey-street, Solicitors; and at the place
