Wednesday last, Professor LESLIE was appointed
to the vacant Chair of the Natural Philosophy Class
in the University of Edinburgh.
CRICKET—A Grand Cricket Match was played at
Epsom, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last,
Surrey against Hampshire, which was won by the
latter. Besides the Noblemen and Gentlemen who
played, the peke of ST. ALBANS, Mr. GILBERT
HEATHCOTE, Mr. DRUMMOND, and many. of the first
families in the neighbourhood, were on the ground.
After dinner, Mr.'DioNtim, the-singer, delighted the
company with some good old songs on the Manly
game of Cricket, and several other sweet melodies.
POOR LAWS.—Great complaints have long been
made of the large sums charged in Parochial Ac-
counts, by Overseers, for law expenses attending the
trial of Appeals as to the Settlement of Paupers, and
resisting Appeals by.lnhabitants against Lites made
by the Overseers. Overseers, by law, can only charge
such expenses as are incidental to their offices ; and
it would be well for Parishioners to cot cider, whether
the expenses of instituting and carrying on Settle-
ment Appeals, or resisting Scitlemect Appeals, if
unsuccessful, can -be called incidental to the office
of Overseer, who exercises his own discretion as
to trying such Appeals, and ought not to institute
or resist them but on good grounds ? Howenr
this may be, it is certain that the expenses incurred
brOverseers in supporting a Poors Rate made by
themselves, cannot be charged to the Parish if the
Rate is found improper or unjust, on Appeal by' any
Iphabitant.
