BuRroSs MAeAzISE, APRIL, 1Si0-This is a
very good number-its contents varied both in style
and matter, Astounding in pleasant humor and harm
less hits at the passing follies Of the times. The
first article is short tale from the pen OF the lively
editor, illustrative Of print which has been, Tor
some time past. familiar to the eyes Of those who
delight in looking at the print shops to the manifest
danger OF their pockets, should these latter almost
obsolete ad uncts to dress happen to contain coin
The subject ~ the April Fool, and the OF the
tale is laid in Of those suburban retreats in an
English village, which few writers better ac-
quainted with than Burton The prize poem Of Co.
lumbus is also continued in this number, down to
the end of the third canto. There il also paper
by y. J. Bur called the Philosophers Stone, and
a continuation Of the Journal of Julius Redman.

good original articles albeit they are mostly some
what more lengthy than usually find favor in the
sight OF our magazine reader "rhe History of an
Adventurer,' and the biography Of Col. Thornton,

There is also a very admirable article on white and

nonfree negroes have the advantage over both their
white and black brothers, who pride themselves ON
the possession of what IS termed (l) liberty

In the matter of tie charges against Henry w

he learned gentleman then proceeded to argue,
that the judges assembled had power conferred
on them, by the City Charter, the Consttu-
ton OF the State, or express statute constituting
them to act as the County Court. He admitted that
the term County Court was proper phrase and re-
cogrized by the Legislature but he insisted that,
by strange lapse in legislation, persons
were named who should constitute the court, and
that, most certainly, the Aldermen had no power to
sit if the otherjudges had 1t has, said the learned
gentleman, been for a long time questionable to my
mind whether Alderman ever was authorized to
act a Judge in any court, and believe we have
all been acting under mistake in this matter.
Mr.. orc. cited several cases and authorities in
support of this opinion
ne District Attorney contended that by the char
ter ofthe city, the Mayor and Aldermen were con
stitutcd the Judges of the City Courts, and that
they where precluded from acting and sit
ting in the Court of Common Pleas and acting as
Judges ofthe same. Among other authorities cited
by the learned gentleman was the opinion of Judge
Cowan, when the case of W bite argued before
the Supreme Court, who held that if two Aldermen
had not been the bench the Court of Oyer and
Terminer would not have been properly constituted.
MIR. =. u. Cutting having replied, the Court
cleared to admit fthe members consulting together.
