POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Lord JorDt RUSSELL has taken the first step towards fulfilling his promise to nominate to the Magisterial office such persons only as the new Town-Councils under the Municipal Act should recommend. The Globe of this evening contains a circular from the Home Office to the Mayors or chief officers of the different towns which will come under the operation of the Act : in this communication, several d'- rections relative to carrying the measure into execution are given, and the concluding paragraph states,
. . . .
"that any recommendation which they (the Councils) may thick fit to make of persons qualified to be intrusted by his Majesty with the com- mission of the peace for the borough of which they are the governing body, will have its due weight with the advisers of the Crown."
