| AN EDIToR's STRATAGEM.-We
believe It Is not true, rs has been sta.
ted, that Mr.. Theodore Hook was the
editor Of the "John Bull; from its
commencement. He was, in cuniunc-
lion with Mr. Croker, of the Admiralty,
one of its earliest contributors; but i
was not until sometime afterward iha
10 sole management was entrusted to
his care. He in some measure chang
ed its character, greatly re:renching
its personalities, and was more anxious
TO render it remarkable for quiet and
inofensive humor. than TO sustain lis
reputation for keen satire and seanpa-
lous stories. With all his circumspeC.
ton, however, he was sometimes In
volved in awkward positions by the
responsibilities of editorship, by which
he contrived 10 escape with his accus-
toned tact often making the mode oil
his deliverauce serve as an Admirable
Jest. On one occasion, Q very thin
skinned gentleman, who conceived his
conduct had been commented on
with too much freedom, called at
the Bull Office, and inquired for the
editor. The publisher, guessing his
erTand from the fierceness of his dea-
meanor, and the stout borsewhip he
held in his hand, informed the chole-
ric gentleman that the editor was not
then at the Office. but might probably
be seen at IL o'clock the next day.
Punctualiy at the appointed hour. the
gentleman, horsewhip 10 hand, arrived,
and was shown up stairs in.o an emp.

in my power.
The proper performance OF the duties of

in the Chancery Court, involving as il does,
titles TO lands, and personal property. to an

manner, the duties of the Clerk of the Dis
