Some censure, it seems, has been cast upon that singularly intelligent young nobleman Lord Sandon, Lord Brougham's pron7g6, for his vote in respect of Schedule B. His Lordship has addressed a letter on the subject to a friend, which appears in last Liverpool Advertiser. He says in regard to the pledges given to his constituents- " I had not been engaged in the detailed discussions upon the Bill in the then Parliament, and therefore was not very familiar with the Schedules of the Bill.

Under the name of Schedules A am! B, I meant to de '

signate in a short and po- pular way, the two principles of disfranchisement and enfranchisement, on which I had made up toy mind. I never thought of dignifying the regulation, that certain boroughs should only retain one member, with the honours of a principle, and it has never at any time been treated as such by any of the pro- moters of the measure. It was one of those details on which I clearly reserved . a discretion."

Thus, when a man, in a short and popular way, says he meant to vote for Schedule A and B, he means in reality to vote for A and against B. Let this be borne in mind the next time that Lord Sandon presents himself on the hustings; and in the mean time, let it stand as a sample of the intellect or honour of aristocratical candidates for seats in the Senate.

By a parliamentary paper it appears, that the total amount of unpaid magistrates is 5,371; of which the clerical portion is 1,354,—a trifle more than one-fourth of the entire magistracy ; and as the parochial clergy in England do not exceed (we believe) 6,000 individuals in the gross, it appears that nearly every fourth parson in this country is a Justice!— Times.

The house of time Marquis of Hastings at Brighton was plundered, the other day, of jewellery, to the amount, as is reported, of 5001. Ledbitter, the Bow Street officer, has examined the premises, and succeeded in tracing footsteps to the roof of an adjoining house, which was examined upon a search warrant, but nothing of a satisfactory nature transpired. The thieves, it appears, were disturbed, as they left untouched the most valuable portion of the Marchioness's jewellery. During the investi- gation, Ledbitter accidently discovered another robbery of an extensive description. He stopped a portmanteau under suspicious circumstances, which was found to contain a large quantity of valuable property be- longing to Mr. Mayburn, saddler, at Brighton. Suspicion fell on Mr. Mayburn's foreman ; he was taken into custody, when it appeared that he was about proceeding to America with a considerable booty, the property of his minister.
