Mr. Edwin James has resigned his seat for Marylebone. He

found, the absorbing duties of a member of Parliament inconsistent with the claims of his profession. That he cannot afford, and so he resigns. Not this only, but the Recordership of Brighton, and re- port speaks of a still more conspicuous appearance of the name of Mr. James.

The names of several candidates for the vacant seat of Marylebone have already been mentioned : Major Lyon, a conspicuous member of the Board of Works ; Mr. Harvey Lewis, the rejected of Hull; Mr. Goldsmid, the rejected of Brighton ; and Captain Grosvenor, a son of Lord Ebury, and "supposed to be a Whig." It is not stated upon which of the candidates the publicans of Marylebone have fixed their eyes.
