THIS DAY, Forts• 0' Clock. • A telegraphic despatch announces the arrival at Southampton, this day, of the steamer Iberia, with the Peninsalar mails. She brings accounts from Lisbon to the 21st ii.st. The Howe, having on board the Queen Ito•rager, had arrived in the Tagus, and her Majesty had been visited by the Queen of PortugaL The Princes Saxe Weimar were at Grenada on the 15:11 There are accounts, by way of Sydney, of more fighting iuNew Zealar d, the Maories having attacked, in open day, the settlement at Wanganui, and plun dered some of the unfortified houses in the suburbs. An unremitting fire was directed against the natives all day from a stockade and gun-boat, commanded by Lieut. Holmes, and the natives at last were compelled to retire, having lost their great chief, Maketu, un derstood to be the prime mover in the rebellion. As soon as intelligence of these disastrous occurrences reached Auckland, Governor Grey pro ceeded to Wanganui, in her Majesty 'a strainer Inflexibl and landed there 100 men of the 65th Regt, and about 80 sailors. They proceeded up the river in ousts, with military on each side of the river, but though the natives did not retire, they were in such close contiguity to fastnesses and to swamps, that it was deemed prudent not to attack them, so the reconnoitring party returned. Towards the close of May the force at Wanganui was strengtheued by Capt. Stanley, Lieut. Tleresford, and thirty men from her Majesty's ship Calliope, and early in June by a lieutenant and 40 men from the same ship, 116 men of the 651 h Regt., Lieut. Hon. W. C. Yelverton, and some artillery, all under the command of Lient-Col. M'Cleverty. Previous to the arrival of these reinforce ments the natives had retired up the river to a position difficult of access. It is stated that upon three or four occasions the military, civilians, police, &c., under the command of Governor Grey and Lieut-Col. :81'Cleverty, with the sailors and marines under Cap tains Stanley and Iloseason, R.N., in boats, went out, accompanied by some native allies, and 30 or 40 Maories, who were the advance party; but they could never come to close quarters with the enemy; and though on the different occasions from 5,000 to 10,000 rounds of cartridges, with rockets, from the boats, were expended, and the rebels were firing at the expedition from behind cover, they never touched a man, and all the loss ascertained has been stated at four killed and a few wounded on the enemy's side. The troops on returning to the stockade and village of Wanganui every evening, were fired at by the enemy till within a mile or two of home. The last accounts from the expedition are furnished by letter from Wel lington, the 18th June, which says, that it appeared from intelligence received the previous night, that the number of killed and wounded on the enemy's side was stated at 40, but certainly 30 had suffered. "The troops advanced on each side of the ricer, while the gun-boats cleared the banks, ravines, and gullies with their guns and rockets, so as to prevent an ambush, and on one occasion, when considerably in advance of the troops, the boats fell in with a large body of the enemy ; and had the land forces come up at that time, probably we should have almost annihilaqd them. Most unfortunately, however, the buee Foun ded a retreat, and the enemy quickly took up a position in a ravine, which commanded the ground to be passed over by Lieut Collinson, RE., and 70 men of the 58th, who would infallibly have been cut off to a man but for the opportune arrival of the blue-jackets, under Captains Stanley and Hoseason, of the Inflexible, who cleared the ravinewith their great guns and rockets." NORWICII FESTIVAL.--The " Elijah" of Men -431,,0hn it to be the great feature of the triennial meeting at Norwich next season ; and there in reason to hope that the performance will be conducted by the illustrious author in person. DRURY-LANE OPERA HOUSE.—We understand that M. Julien commences ho, operatic campaign on the Ist of Decemfxr. Mr. Reeve, it is said, will be the principal tenor, and Messrs. Staudigl and Pischek the bassi. It does not recur en be as yet settled who is to be the prima donna. Several operas by English composers are forthcoming; one, in particular, by Mr. Edward Loder, taken from Sheridan's play of " Pisarro," is nearly completed, and is epoken of as a work of a high order. REPRESENTATION OF SENDER' AN D.—We learn from the NunderlaPol Tames that the numerous and in fluential portion of the liberal party in Sunderland who sstprorted Mr. Barclay at the late election, have resolved to invite Mr. Macaulay to offer himself as a candirlats for the representation of the town, should it turn out that the affaits 01 Barclay, Brothers, and Co., of London, of which their prevent member is t he principal partner, are so involved as that the company may not be ultimately able to retrieve its affairs and resume its position. TIIE LATE CABE OF STABBING TWO OAHE KEPPLII. AT WEST HORSLEY, SURRIY.—The two Brie tows, who, it will be recollected, were apprehended on Saturday last at Acoolwich, were on Monday taken before the mvistrates at the Town-hall, OuildEnrd, for examine tioo. The magistrates present were the Earl of Lovelace, Colonel Sumner, &c. The examination was a lengthened one, and in the course of it the two prisoners, Reginald and Arthur Bristow, were identified as the two men who actually inflicted the stabs on the unfortunate keepers, who were both in attendance. At the close of the examination the Prisoners were remanded for a fortnight to Guildford gaol. The too keepers, George Tsrgett and James Martin, have, fortunately, both recovered. The Shere gang, a description of which is most graphically given in the Poor-law Commis sioners' Report for the county of Surrey, has, during the past few years, been gradually broken up, and the two pri soners are the remnant. Ponca oe HABIT.—At the Quarter Sessions, Taunton, last week, the learned chairman, W. Miles, Erg., while summing up the evidence in the first trial, turned Dia hark to the jury, and addressed himself to the ladies who were sitting opposite. The crier of the court reminded him that the jury were on the opposite side of tho court. The learned chairman had bees accustomed at the Vella Sessions to address the jury on the left side of the court, and hone' the mistake. STAG HunTiso.—The Hon. Newton Fellowes has signified his intention to discontinue his management of the Der ,n st , ,d Somerset stag-hounds after the present season. It is intended to hold a meeting at Dulverton on Thursday tit at, the 29th inst., for the purpose of concerting measures to keep up the hunt, and to place the management on a perma nent basis. The advancing years of Mr. Fellowes en a suf ficient reason for his retirement. - /7 --- '~~- ~~ MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. Yesterday, at St. George's, Hanover square, by the Rev. H. Howarth, the Rev Charles William Cavendish, third son of Major Gen. the Hon. Henry Cavendish, to Mir Lygon, eldest daughter of Lieut.• General the Hon. Henry Beauchamp Lrgoe. The bridtsmaids on the occasion were the Hon. Caroline Caven dish, 'Miss Georgisna Lygon, Lirly Louise Eliot, Miss Har riet Cavendish, Miss Fitzroy, and Miss Georgiana Fitzroy.

Major-Genaral Caven dish, Gen. Hen. Lygon, Edw. P. Lygon, Chu. C. Cavendish, Caroline Cavendish, Charles Pakenham, William Eliot, and Granville Eliot; Messrs. Frederick Cavendish, Francis Cavendish, George Cavendish, and Henry Lygon. Imme diately after the ceremony, the happy couple left town for West-end Lodge, the scat of Major-General the Hon. Henry Cavendish. Absence from town prevented his Grace the Duke of Devon-hire, Viscount and Viseounteu Emlyn, and several other distinguished personages from being present. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tiro o'Clnek.—As might be expected, the com pulsory return of the government partially to the dictates of common sense in dealing with credit and currency, has produced a certain wildness of reaction among the professional speculators of the Stock Exchange. From being all sellers of stocks and shares, which had been the ruling mania for months, I the market suddenly became all buyers. Stock values advanced upon the rush nearly 3 per cent., and are now sobering down to the more moderate propor tions of enhanced prices, which, in view of improved credit, they are entitled to command. Consols, which yesterday ran up to nearly 841, receded at the first quotations this morning to 834 to 1 for account; for money 82 to 34. They have since descended to, and now are, 821 to 3 for time, and 82? to 4 for money. Reduced Threes, 811- to t. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 821 to a. Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 15e. discount.

Advice's from Frankfort of the 21st instant, notify that on the opening of the exchange there was an active demand for public securities, but towards the close of the market, on the receipt of intelligence from l'uris of a decline in the Reutes, and of the failure of the bank of Liverpool here, the buyers be came discouraged, and prices went down.

PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, Half-past The public sales of Sugar, consisting of 1,500 bags Bengal, 1,700 bags damaged Manilla. and 650 baskets Java, have gone off steadily, but without any material alteration in prices. The importers allowed 7 per tent interest, being an in. crease of 1 per cent. on the customary allowance ; but the importer. of the Mauritius refused to make any alteration in the public sales yesterday, and the present rate must not he considered as a general rule. The refined market is firm. hut not active.—The Coffee sales are progressing steadily.— In other articles no alteration, but there is lea disposition shown to purchase largely than yesterdar. The attendance in the market was thin, as frequently occurs on a Wednes- day. TALLOW. it has at length ipterpessei in favour of commerce. Of this, then, we may be certain, that the appearances of the last few days must, in the opinion of government, have been most alarming, to induce them to step forward, after having gazed for the last six weeks, ia spite of remoristranees and petitions innumerable, if not with unconcern, at least without effect, while the giant forms of mighty fi rms were struggling for existence. Whatever may be said as to the appropriateness of the time selected by government for their interference, no differeses of opinion exists as to the propriety of the measnro itself; the object of which seems to be to oat such houses u are perfectly solvent to carry on their business; but on such terms as not to induce them to extend their operations. In our market it was hailed as a great boon ; and Tallow, which at the time of its an nouncement was looking down, immediately advanced 6d. per cwt. • and now that the clouds that have so long hung over the trade, compelling the manufacturer to confine his attention to the mere question of his daily wants, have, in some measure, dispersed, he will do well to look abroad co the prospects that lie before him. If to the present stock we add what is on the way from St. Petersburg, we shall Bad that it exceeds by 8,000 casks the corresponding items of last year, while our price is 6s. per cwt. lower than in 1846. The Petersburg supply is variously estimated at from 130,000 to 140,000 casks *gaunt 114,000 casks lut yew. But even should the latter prove to be the correct version, we very much doubt whether more than the former quantity will be de spatched. For by advice* received yesterday, we learn that the trade had been completely paralised by the announcement of the failure of two houses connected with St. Petersburg, which occurred in London shout the close of last month. Some idea of the extent to which credit had been effected, may be formed when we state that, while during the three days preceding the arrival of this unfortunate information 5,000 casks had been sold, doling the four day. subsequent to it only 100 casks had changed hands, Ere confidence can be re-established, the news of a enn.iderable fall in the price of Tallow on this side will reach Petersburg, which will be followed, post after post, by constantly declining markets; and the approach of the Russian winter, with the chance of vessels being caught in the ice at Cronstadt, will, in the pre. sent state of money, prose another and a very strong de tearer to purchasing. Assuming then that 130,000 casks will be shipped, after allowing for the foreigners taking 17,500 casks this _year against 11,280 casks last, we find that Great Britain will receive about 10,000 casks more than in 184.3. On the other hand we have had no pigs' fat or lard this year from St. Petersburg, white last year we lad 5,000 casks. To the shortness of the home supply, and the unusually small stock of manufactured goods with which the trade commenced the season, it will be enough that we now merely allude, having from the fint drawn the attention of our readers to the subject, and from time to time furnished the most irrefragable proofs. New York, which has of late years supplied France and Liver peel with large quantities of Tallow, will have none to ex port this season, so that the deficiency front that quarter may be safely set against any quantity that can be reasonably ex pected from South America. It now only remains that we nuke our calculation of the probable stock of Tallow in London, on the Ist Jars., 1848: Stock on October 23, 1647 23,26£1 Known to be on The way !row St. Petersburg 4,612 Take for Iola! cbipment 130,000 make Already appropriated 92,415 till to be appropriated 3I,MS Of this the (Arlon proportion 21,000 Probable arr.ral from other places 2,000 .52,200 13.11rery from 21rd Oct. to 31st Dec.

The demand for Barley is dull, at a decline of 2s. int. qr. Oats are worth quite 11.1 much money. Beans also support late rates. Wheat, 121. 10s. to 141. per load. Barley, 275. to 31e.

The trade in Wheat and Barley very dull, and lower ; for the former fully lc ; the latter, 2s. But few Beans and Peas on offer, 1 and late prices barely supported. Hrr.i., Oct. 26.-During the past week only a very limited business has been done in any article of the trade. At to-day's market we had another short supply of Wheat from the farmers, and but week's prices were fully supported. Transactions in foreign only limited. So little business in any kind of spring. Corn we can quote no alteration in any particular article. Rye Meal has not been so free sale during the week, but we are looking for an improved demand. The arrivals of Linseed, until yesterday, were small, and the arrivals of that day arc not likely to press on the market. Prices are we .1 supported. Linseed Cakes in good demand. Nothing doing in Rapeseed, and Rape Cakes rather dull at our quota tions. The following arc our quotations: Wheat, red, 525. to 541. ; new, 525. to 565. ; white, tils. to 58s. ; new, 51s. to 565.; Dantsic, 58s. to 600.; Lower Baltic and Hamburg, 48e. to 545.

LEEDS, Oct. 26.—We are moderately supplied with all grain. The decline noted in Mark-lane has but little effect upon our Wheat trade, and prices for all descriptions are fully maintained. Barley sells slowly at late rates. The sale for Beans is very limited, at a reduction of Is. per qr. Other articles as last quoted. Arrivals for the week Wheat, 6,701 qrs. ; Oat', 900 ; Barley, 1,328 ; Beans, 318 ; Lin seed, 249.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 28.—The entries into this port since the 19th inst. include a better supply of Grain and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland, than NO have received in any single week thence for some time past. We have also to note from abroad a tolerably good enlargement of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Corn Meet, with 2.5,492 barrels of Flour. In the United States, however, supplies on the seaboard an reported to be light, and prices too high, compared with oars, to encourage immediate shipments. Haying a full attendance of English and several Irish buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day, the trade for most leading articles exhi bited a firm aspect. English and foreign Wheats were in good request at the extreme rate, of this day week, and :prime samples of Irish new, being scarce, commanded higher prices. States and Canadian Flour, uaon • lively and extensive demand, readily maiatained our last soots tions; home-made and Irish remaining =varied. Malting Barley and Malt, by submitting to a decline of Is. per qr. each, were rather more saleable ; and grinding Barley was the turn dearer. Beans and Peas, though not taken freely, remained steady in value. flood melding Oats and Oatmeal, upon a mederate demand, barely supported the reduced terms of Friday, and undried parcels were nearly without inquiry. Indian Corn, meeting an increasing demand, the transactions therein this morning were considerable; all qualities realising 6d. to Is. per quarter over last Tues day's currency, and Indian Meal the quotations of Friday.

Barley, best runs, 325. ; fine, 335. rLYMOUTH, Oct. 26.—At this morning's market, but very little business was transacted. Farmers and merchants hold wheats at late prices, whilst a fall in Flour to 42e. deters millers from tu)ing mole than for immediate use. • SaLisuunr, Oct. 2G.-Very little Wheat sold, compared to the quantity offered ; that disposed of was at a decline of fully 2s. per qr. ; the best white IVheat making but 555. per qr.; red, 531. to 545.; inferior samples, 489. to 50s. Barley in good supply, yet hut little sold until a reduction of from Is. to 29. per qr. was agreed to be taken. Oats not much in request, the little sold at about the terms of last week. Beans, the best English new, 50.. to 625. per qr. ; fine foreign, old, ii&s. White boiling Peas a trifle lower. SPALDIXO, Oct. 2G.-Very little animation in the corn trade at this ils)'s market. There appears to be a want of buyers, in the absence of merchants, to take of the Wheats which the millers cull. The best samples of Wheat sold slowly, at a decline of 25., to the millers. Inferior Corn, at fis. less money, but not so much pressing as last week. Oats rather ceder to buy. New Beans, 445. to 465.; old, Uls. to 665. per qr. of 38,b. Bread, 41b. loaf, 41d. to 64d. Newny, Oct. 25.-We have to-day to report a dull market, but prices may be quoted without alteration from those given in our last, while the supplies from the farmers continue fair. Wheat sells at from 91. Gd. to 10s. per cwt. Barley, 6s. 9d. to 7a. 93. Oats, 103. per atone, for best quality. Oatmeal, machine-manufactured, remains at 13s. per cwt.; and Indian Cora Meal at 99. ; while barrels sell at 16s. 3d. each ; and American Flour at 28s. 6d. DCNDALK, Oct. 25.-There was a good supply of Corn forward to-day, which met a dull sale, at Is. to 2.. per bar rel decline in Wheat, 63. to Is. in Oats, and Gd. hi Barley ; rates being, for red Wheat, per barrel, 234. to 265. ; white, 255. to 275. Barley, 13s. to 169. Oats, lls. to 12s. DANTZIC, Oct. 18.—Of old Wheat 300 qrs. have been bought at 525. for Holland; and at 545. a fine lot for local consumption. Among the supplies of this day's market were 400 qrs. new Wheat. There was also a lot of fair high mixed, 591 b., held at 31%., and 50s. offered ; and only 120 qrs., 56ib. to 571 b., sold at 461., the remainder being left uns o ld, as purchasers were unwilling to meet the sellers' demands. Of Peas we have had no supplies further ; the whole quan tity that has reached us during this month does not exceed 400 qrs. ; and that of new Wheat sold during that period not 1,000 qrs. • Mausatt.trs, Oct. 20.—We have nothing new to notice in our corn market, prices remain the same as last quoted to you, with little doing for Wheat on the spo ; some pur chases have been made for future delivery, but without any advance in prices. Rome', Oct. 21.—Our supplies have hitherto been so small, and the demand so great, that prices have risen again, and we now willingly pay 465. to 471. per qr., f.0.b., for our fine Wheats. CHEESE.—WARMINSTER FAIR, Oct. 26.—Be tween two and three hundred tons pitched, three-fourths mode in Somerset, and of very superior flavour and quality. Some prime picked Cbeddcr went at ids. per cwt.; some very good at GSA. to 705.; inferior at 665. ; some superior truckle Somerset", equal to the best Chedder, made 725. to 745. ; good do., 68,. to 700. ; double red and yellow Somer set, (made from new milk twice per day), from 60s. to Gels. ; single, 58s. to 606 ; beat half Cowards, 40.. to•s4s. ; moderate, 445. to 465.; poor, 40s. to 425.; best skimp, from 31s. to 3Gs.; poor and common, from 28s. to 325. We observed Cheese from some very choice dairies make from 2s. to 4s. per cwt. more money than the generality of that present. :‘IANUFACTUREEL—HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 26. Our Piece-hall has been very quiet to-day, but the joint letter of the prime minister and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer seems to have raised tho hopes of some, and all►yed the fears of others. Things, it is to be hoped, will take a turn for the better. WOOL.—HUDDERSPIELD, Oct. 26.—There has been a very still market for Wool, and all partiis seem anxious to see the new purchases from Lyndon before operating here. Old stocks will have to meet the exigencies of the times, which will be a considerable reduction in price. CATTLE, &C.—ASIICORNE FAlR.—This fair was pretty well supplied, and good as well as useful Horses of all descriptions were sold at high prices. Those of the second class were rather worse done than at previous fairs. The fair for store cattle was inferior as regards numbers and quality, and sales were flat, owing, probably, to the failure of the turnip crop and the scarcity of grass. The show of fat cattle was not large, and, there being plenty of customers, it sold readily. There was not so large a number of Rams shown ass usual, while in store Ewes and Lambs we had a plentiful supply. Useful store Ewes sold well; Limbs were flat sale. But few fat Sheep were offered, which met with ready sale. Beef made from old. to 6d. Slue? from Gd. to 61d. per lb. MATLOCK FAIR, Oct. 23.—At this fair there was a large supply of horned cattle of all descriptions, the inferior sort being far more promincLt. Calving Cows of early note were in demand at prices varying from 141. to 161. Ifu. Barrens, for winter feeding, went off slowly at moderate prices. The few fat Beasta that were exhibited barely realised 7a. per st. of 141ba. There was also a fair show of store Sheep of all de scriptions, but very few met purchasers. In pigs there was also a large supply, in wbicb there was a brisk sale. The show of Horses very meagre, mostly Irish, which were disposed of freely at better prices, and the few good cart Horses sold weil. Altogether, this fair was well attended, considering the great depression in trade. _ Sr. I vu, Oct. 25.—There was • good supply of fat Beasts to-day ; market dull. There was • very large supply of good store Beasts, which went off rather dull. The Wheat trade to-day very dull, with a further decline of from Is. to 2s. cheaper than lest week's market. WARMINSTER FAIR, Oct. W.—There were between 20,000 and 30,000 Sheep for tale, chiefly South Downs (last veer, 17,000 only). Trade was animated. Mr. Romsey, West Moyle, sold Ewes at 345. each ; Mr. Phillips, Monkton De verill, 335. ; Mr. Miller, Chute, 295. ; Mr. Lush, War minster, finest stock Lambs in the fair, 30s. each ; Mr. Parfit, Mere, good Lambs, 233. Moons. Rose, of Mere; Rawlings, of Nunnery; Coles, of Norridge ; Jelferiee, of Rye-hill; Compton, of White Cliff; M. Drew, Whitton Priory ; Mason, of Norton Bavant ; Jupe, of Mere Down ; Hank, of litre"' bury; Matthews, Gillingham; Chapman, Tytherton ; J. Scott, of B. Deverill ; Bedford, Warminster, &c., &e., had pens of very tine Sheep for sale. Sheep varied materially, both to size and price, some Lambs making but 13s. each, while others reached 30s. Ewes, from 21s. up to 345. each. Wcthers, from 28s. up to 40s. each. Half-bred Sheep varied nearly as much, as did the few horned Dorset Sheep. There were some Rams and Item Lambs, which sold at from 21. 6s. to W. each. So eager were some of the purchasers to buy that they met the drovers, and purcharel many before they reached the fair-field; and before the fair was over nearly all were sold, at an advance over Weyhill fair of from 21. to 41. per head. Mr. Coles, of Nerridge, had the finest fat Lambs, for which he refused 425. each. Mr. Stride had the next finest ; 40s. was offered. A considerable number of fat Hereford and Devon fat Beasts were for sale, which sold readily at from 10s. ed. to 11s. per score. Fat and inferior Cows, 103. to 10s. 3d. Lean Oxen were not so readily die , posed of, yet trade was decidedly improving, a better price I by 101 per head being given than at Weyhill. Good Cows and Heifers, in-calf or with a calf, sold also at higher prices, with a fair demand. Pr resterdsee Manisa's*, bat par. Zht '7,l:a3rtgio. MAILS. The mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Madeira.

HUNTING an overseer is no doubt capital fun; running down an attorney in the same burst makes it still better. The public is not likely to be troubled with excessive sympathy for one or the other. The one is associated with rates, the other with law costs and peremptory letters. They have both been recog nised butts for embarrassed play-wrighta, and small wits, for years. An attorney's bill is so often extor tionate that the world is slow to believe that such a document can be reasonable. Overseers contract so much at once of the jack-in-office and the screw, from the all bat inevitable influence of their functions, that the public is as little likely to be just in their behalf as a farmer's boy in dealing with rooks, or school urchins with a toad. Both the races, in fact, have a bad name. They are the pari the of professional and parochial life. They stand, in popular opinion, on an odious equality with that persecuted being, the tax gatherer. Of course, as in all prejudices against classes, there is monstrous injustice perpetrated under the shadow of this ill opinion, We must disagree with our con temporaries, so far as to regret an exhibition of this injustice in Mr. *CHRISTIE'S recent onslaught on the overseers and vestry-clerks of the City parishes. Under the Registration Act, 6 arid 7 let., c. there are two clauses saddling the overseers with certain duties. The sth clause enacts that they shall make out lists of claimants of votes; the 13th that they shall make out, or rause to be made out, lists of persons entitled to vote in the election of members of parliament. This act was passed in 1613. Since that time it has been the practice in the City for the overseers to call in the aid of the vestry clerk in the preparation of these lists. Hitherto the revising barrister has al lowed the expenses thus incurred. This year, for the first time we believe, Mr. *CHRISTIE, whose furious zeal we duly honour, though " on this side idolatry," has run a-muck against the unhappy over seers and amazed vestry clerks alike, disallowing in all cases the expenses of the latter, and cutting down the bills of the former to the narrowest limits of in dispensable outlay, such as for printing, &c. No wonder the vestry-clerks are wroth. No wonder the public enjoy their vexation. A battled attorney is too rare game to be let slip easily. No wonder that journalists, catering for public amusement, cheer on Mr. M'CIIRISTIE in his new sport of attorney-baiting, and stick their " bandarillas into the infuriated victim under shelter of the revising barrister's more ' potent " esparto." All we have to say is, that there is a possibility that Mr. *CRISTIE may be erring as much on the side of over-strictness in his construction of the act, as his predecessors on that of over-laxity. The preparation of these lists is a difficult and dis agreeable duty. For many of the parishes, the ex penses of whose lists were disallowed, it would I require at least a fortnight's hard work to get together and verify claims, to receive and make out lists of objections, to grant, and attend the inspections required by the act, and to make the minute and lengthy inquiries which most of these duties render necessary. Many of these functions, moreover cannot be discharged without great expenditure of money as well as time, which it seems hard to lay upon unpaid officers who have already more regular parochial duty than they can properly fulfil. Besides, in the cases in question, the vestry clerks had been set to work by the parish. Again, it is quite open to dispute bow far the Registration Act contemplates a personal preparation of the lists by overseers. The sth clause enacts, it is true, that they shall make out lists of claimants. B ut the 13th clause contains the words, "make out or cause Gibe made out" lints of persons already entitled to vote. It would appear, therefore, that the framers of the act conceived that other hands might be employed than those of the overseers themselves, at least in the latter department of their labour. We do not maintain, be it borne is mind by our readers, that Mr. M'Crinisne has not turned up a rich field of jobbery to the light of day. We can easily conceive, from the general character of paro chial arrangements, that the vestry clerks' charges were exorbitant in many instances. Nor do we hold that the readiness of the parish to pay these bills says much for their reasonableness. But Mr. 111 4 ,"uaistre goes the length of maintaining that the actual work of preparing the lists is imposed by law on the overseers themselves. If the law means this, Mr. M'Cittetsvis is right • but the law, as it appears to us, is wrong. The work of preparing these lists, involving much knowledge of legal forms, and the rare power of understanding an act of parlia ment, is sure to be ill done if done by the overseers. Fining these functionaries (another practice in which MT. NPCIIRISTIE has shown an inhuman and gleeful alacrity) is rather a cruelty, if they are to be deprived of professional assistance in their registration duties. We cannot but conclude from experience, alike under Mr. ARNOLD'S milder sceptre and the reign of terror of Mr. *CHRISTIE, the ROBESPIERRE of revis ing barristers, that this preparation of the lists both of claimants and voters, is one of the points in which a reform in the Registration Act is desirable. The time of the public, the parochial officers, and the barrister, would be saved, and much vexation spared to all parties concerned, if the lists were made out by an officer specially appointed for the purpose. This reform might be connected with another, the necessity of which is made more appa rent every year. At present the most futile rounds are enough to provoke a notice of objection. In many cases the mere anticipation that the person ob jected to may, by indifference or accident, fail to sup post his claim, Is enough to induce an active elec tioneering partisan to serve the bare notice of objec tion which ths act requires. A voter has the vexation of an attendance before the barrister to support a claim which there is no good pretext for impugning, or the still greater annoyinee of for feiting his vote bectuse he was not present to answer objections which he knew were not worth answering. This feature of our registration law is not more absurd in theory than troublesome and mis chievous in practice. It encourages frivolous objec tions, and removes good votes from the register. Bat if the officer appointed to prepare the lists, exercised a sort of preliminary scrutiny into the grounds of ob jection, this misckief might be considerably lessened, while the lists themselves would be more rapidly and correctly compiled. There are plenty of legal practitioners to furnish the staff required for such a purpose. Their remune ration, like that of the revising barristers, should be fixed. The expense, which could not be serious, should not fall on the pariah, but the Consolidated Fund. We throw out the hint to registration reformers. We de not think it desirable that such exhibitions as Mr. M'CliniAm's attorney-scalp-dance should be re peated. The public may laugh, but a large and respectable body of professional men is insulted' and butt by them. There is a cheap popularity to be won by such economising as the City revising bar rister has so largely indulged in, which is apt to in toxicate. It would be better to remove any question able display of reforming zeal, by getting rid of the state of things which provokes, and, to general appre hension, justifies it. If overseers are to de the work of the registration lists with their own hands, it cannot be well done. If it is to be well done, it is hard to punish the overseers for failing in a duty for which they have not the requisites themselves, and in which they are not allowed to call in better qualified persons to assist them. THERE is much fuss and agitation about the affaii 8 cf S witzcrland. We are promised nothing less than a war there—a winter campaign —although Switzer land is, perhaps, the moat unfit and unlikely field for such in all the world—a campaign that is to vie in interest with General Scoffs march to Mexico. Drums are beating, trumpets sounding, generals and staffs appointed, at least in the journals, and there is a fevensh expectation of a great battle, the fate of which is to overthrow either the radicals or the Jesuits. Notwithstanding all this parade and noise, we hare no sort of faith in this war, which will probably be carried on, as heretofore, upon paper; for the written speeches of the members of the Diet are themselves but paper bullets. We see, as the great crisis approaches, each party, hitherto so precise and so &dant, abate gradually of its fierce demands, so that by the time the trumpet cloth sound there will bo little to fight for. The radicals and the executive, which now command a majority, instead of insisting any longer on the points for which the quarrel originated, very shrewdly give up these points. They do not want to change the government, however bigoted, of the recalcitrant state. They do not want to infringe the cantonal sovereignty, nor to expel the Jesuits. They merely want to dissolve the hostile league of the Sonderbund, the imperiuni of the catholic cantons, in the imperio of the confederation. The Sonderbund can have no difficulty in consenting to this, as soon as it is well assured of the sincerity of the other professions. It still expresses its doubts, however, by refusing to receive the address of the Diet. Of what use could be this war? Suppose the radicals and the Bernese triumphant, or, what is the same thing, suppose the Lucerners made no resistance ' - for it is against Lucerne that liberal wrath is kindled. The troops of the confederation take possession of Lucerne. What then ? If M. OCIISENBEIN or Gen. DUFOUR were NARVAEZ or ZURIIANO, they might in deed effect some change by shooting all the chiefs of the hostile party and frightening the mass. But the Swiss cannot do this. They cannot rough-ride over the vil lages of the Lueerners, and force them to t lect liberals at the point of the bayonet. A new election would be the same as the old—much what a general election ' would be in Ireland after repeal : it would pro duce a representative assembly of the greatest blockheads and the blindest bigots that could be col lected in the four quarters of the globe. The Jesuits, bad as they are, are perhaps the most sensible men of the ultra-catholic party in Lucerne. To drive them away would merely leave the manage ment of state and education in the hands of the Amman's and the Len's, peasants with far more bigotry. and cruelty than the Jesuit or any other ecclesiastic It still expresses its doubts, however, by refusing to receive the address of the Diet. There is no mode whatever of liberalising the retrograde cantons, but by revising the Pact, modi fying local independence, and creating a general representative assembly with some central powers. But against this, not only Prince NlErrEauten and M. GUIZOT, but Lord PALMERSTON protests. Even the writer of those most able letters on Switzerland in the Spectator, which give so clear and fair a history of the quarrel, shrinks from the revision of the Pact, as if it were a heresy. We repeat, that without this revision, we may leave Switzerland where we found it, in its moral and political winding-sheet. The congress of sovereigns, when it decreed that each canton of Switzerland should have separate and distinct sovereignty, saw very well what they were establishing. They were neutralising Switzerland as a political, or a military, or an intellectual power. A common sentiment, a national army, a general system of education, a mutual understanding for improvement, were all denied them. It was decreed that they should remain what they were, knots of citizens here, docks of peasants there, but without a public or a capital, a concentration of mind, of purpose, or of power, that would give offence or cause disquiet to dozy Austria or insidious France. In vain do the Swiss strive to break through their cantonal fetters. They evidently cannot do so ; and were they likely to do so, the dull Croat and the mercurial Frenchman, equally the blind slaves of despotism, would march to prevent them. For all their vapour ing, the Swiss see this, and have no wish to provoke an intervention not only galling but expensive. They perfectly understand the Joint artillery of the Journal des Ikbals and the .lugsbury Gazette. And therefore, much as we pity and admire the Swiss liberals, and much as we contemn the insincere and cowardly bullying of France, we see no reason to fear a civil war, or indeed anything more than the usual ma nceuvring and drawing forth of protocols and ad re fercndunis. The congregation of Roman Propaganda has for mally denounced the embryo Irish colleges, and, we are sorry to say, that Pope Pius THE NINTH has given his sanction to the bind edict. It is very far, however, from Rome to Ireland, and both Pope and Propaganda look, no doubt, through Irish ecclesiasti cal spectacles. The Propaganda, however, in con demning the Irish colleges, is frank enough to confess what it wants in lieu of them. It wants neither more nor less than an Irish Louvain. Ireland truly wants bat this, in order to be the very paradise of discord. Louvain University has been, and is still, the very bonfire of Belgium. It has raised a riot round it permanently, ever since its re establishment. 'Twas it, that drummed the King of HOLLAND out of the country. Nor is the university more pacific since catholicity reigns undisturbed. During Dutch ascendancy, Louvain was the centre of catholic opposition. Since the accession of LEOPOLD, it is the centre of bigoted, ignora Han, ecclesiastical toryism, in its war against liberal catholicism. Louvain has made ministries, but has at last so thoroughly disgusted the Belgian public by the intolerance and illiberalism of their tendency, that " dstrn with the priests and Louvain has been the universal cry of catholic Belgium—the cry that prevailed in the last elections. Government, however, should defy Pope and pre lates, by putting in operation the Irish colleges, and proving their worth to the middle classes, which arc prone to act independently of ecclesiastic dictation. The presidents and vice-presidents have been appointed, and the building of the Cork College has been actually begun, but it is said that at least three years must elapse before the new colle giate system will be at full work. We do not see why the classes of the students might not be formed next spring, and temporary accommodation provided until the colleges be completed. By defer ring for three years the formation of classes, a vast number of the growing youths of the country will be practically excluded from the advantages of the new academical system, nor do we the so highly of the wisdom or knowledge of the Yoov- Irelanders, as to wish to see at-lOrge rising generation of Irishmen' poisoned instruction which th talking and scribbling young ft to rule opinion in Ireland tOir J"77 7 ;• - : 7- - .7) AM% N0.362.] LONDON,WEDNESDAY EVENING 0CT.27, 1817.
