THE MAYoRALrY 1t is not probable that
Mr.. Berkley will resign the mayoralty until
the close OF the current month. A large num-
Der of commissions are to be made out before
his as post master, Gao be reched, aud though
he is prepared to qualify at once, 1t may be
two weeks before his receives the requisite sig
ratures, and is forward to him. As the quar-
ter's accounts at the postofice will be settled
at the end of this month, and as the Mayors
Office accounts are settled monthly, all parties
Interested 10 the changes that are to ia Ike place
deem it better that the Mayors resignation
should not take effect until the first day OF
April.

Ter, esq will regret to learn that that gentle
man, who has been indisposed for week past,
