AN EXTRAORDINARY MAGISTERIAL PROTEST.— On Saturday week, at the Kendal Petty Sessions, Major Braithwaite-Wilson, addressing the chair. man, read as follows frum a manuscript he had prepared: I wish to say a few words on the recent appointment of magistrates to the bench of the county of Westmoreland by the Lord. Lieutenant, Lord Hothfield. Ever since he was placed in the high position he occupies it has been a notorious fact that the persons selected by him to act as county magistrates have, with few excep- tions, been taken from his own political party. The time has come when the making of these ap- pointments bears great significance, and in view of what has taken place this week immediately after the elections for the county, I consider it a shame and disgraee that Lord Hothfield should so misuse his power, and I think you will agree with me that the high office of lord-lieutenant was given to Lord Hothfield to use, and not to abuse." —Lord Hothfield is brother to Mr A. Tufton, the recently-defeated candidate for North Westmore- land. A CHESTER PAUPER'S liovs IFF AIRS.—On Tuesday, Owen Jones (44), an inmate of the Chester workhouse, poisoned himself with opium pills.

He also indentined the writing of the following verse upon an envelope:- Wherever I be, love, I ne'er forget thee, Though beauties may smile and try to ensnare me Bnt, believe me, I'll never my heart from thine sever. I'll ever prove constant, my sweet precious dear. -Detective Crewe deposed to seeing the deceased lying in the plantation, which he visited upon information being conveyed to the police office.
