I THE REGISTRATION& --•--- CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Alfred Hanson, the revising barrister, raw • sume4 his duti es yesterday morning in the Court of beat , moo Pleas, Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. George Ledger appeared for the liberals, and Mr. Nokes for the conservative interest. Ina case which occurred on Friday last, in which the ob jection was signed by William Endell Luckett, his Honour required strict proof that the notice bed been filled up before it was signed, and it was understood that Lockett i should attend this sitting, but Mr. Nokes said that he had considered the case, and as Mr. Lockett had been examined on the first day of the re vision be declined to produce him. Mr. Nicholson (clerk in the Conservative Office) was 'ra mbled, and said he would undertake to swear that the notice of obection to Mr. Gilder, in the parish of St. Cler meat, Eastc beap, was filled up before Lockett signed it, because the clerk who filled up the Dollen left the office before Lockett commenced signing them. He could not, however, swear that he saw Lockett sign the notice. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which His Honoursaid that he had given a decisionou the firstdsy which he then thought to be correct, but his experience had shown him that, in consequence of the springing up of a most unfortunate practice, he was wrong. He should therefore require strict proof in all cases, mod the question. now was whether it was too late fur him to alter his , decision.

LORD JrNTICI TURNER ON THE VOLUNTEER MOVIMENL-03 Friday afternoon Lord Justice Turner at tended • dinner, which was held at the Union Inn. Ply mouth, after a review by Colonel liaberley of the Devon artillery volunteers. In giving the toast of the evening the learned knight said—Perhaps 1 have been chosen to propose this toast because many years ago a regiment of lawyers was formed, called the Devil's Own, and I belonged to them, but however much 1 may have been interested in that corps, lam the same now. We know, gentlemen, that not far from us is an army of 600,000 men ; now, I am not one of those who say we are fit to compete with them, but let us look at the manner in which that form is formed, viz., by conscription. This makes them all soldiers, and the country, consequently, is not required to furnish corps of volunteers. Therefore we ought to be on our guard, for when I see a nun raise his 64 I sun apt to put myself on my defence. This movement will show foreign countries that we will bold our own if any attempt at aggression shall be made. I hope it never wilL We are told by some that the navy is the strong arm of England, but this is the fore arm. I have lived nimy years among naval officers, and I respect them, but they do not look to the fact of the perfect revolution of affairs by the introduction of steam, which has laid this country BO much inure open to an incursion than formerly. But, gentlemen, if an invasion be made I feel assured that none would again return. We must take the same signal that Nelson gave—" England expects every man to do Iris duty,"—for the whole world expects England to do its duty, and I feel assured that if au opportunity should arise, the Volunteers will nobly take care of us. It L therefore with much pleasure that I propene the health. of the volunteers. lam no judge of military matters, but lam highly pleased with the inspection. (Cheers.) The toast, it is moan to say, was received with great 'Jahn siasm. Mr. hokos had carefully considered tho case, and thought. Lockett should not be ftlled again. Mr. Nicholson repeated that he wan prepared to swear that the specific notice produced was tilled up, with nu merous others, before Luckett signed it. He was sure that Lockett knew what he was doing when he signed the notice. His Honour said that there was no doubt on that point. Mr. Notes contended that it did not matter two straws whether the notices were filled up in blank or not. His Honour said the objector could not sign a blank notice and delegate the power of naming the °Nacho to a third person. He was most willing to give Mr. Nukes a case on that point, if be could. Mr. Nicholson, in answer to most marching questions from the barrister, said he could swear positively that the notice produced was filled up before Lockett signed it. His Honour, under the circumstances, thought he might grant a ewe; but at the same time the refusal to call Lockett led to an inference that the notices were signed in Wank. Mr. Notes reminded his honour that he was only present as an advocate. THE ST. PANCRAS IRON WORK CI) I'AYY, I.LII NT.

The excitement attending these varied feats was increased by several pretended slips and false steps, causing a pain ful feeling to the uninitiated. Upwards of an hour was thus occupied, and when the intrepid performer descended to terns ,Amu he was most vociferously cheered. Towards evening • thick fog spread itself over the grounds, and it was thought doubtful whether IL Moodie would carry out the second part of his programme, of crossing the rope over W fountains but at the time stated he made his appear ance on the rope, the terraces and fountains being din sleeted by miaowed Area N.

Ibr iallia. 1.44:1 : surgical, di-dater, 2,084 of which bird were new W.C. OWL Yesterday evening a lecture, the first of a new series. was given 17 Mr. Pepp e r, the subject being "The Art of itelaucing, as illustrated in the performaoces of Moodie and Leotard. The lecture was errnmenced bz moue observations on the meaning of the term "balancing, aol Mr. Pepper proceeded to show that the most ancient Warners were the Egyptians of old. He said that even . the snout austere priests could not give an entertsinrueut (which, by.the-bye, WAX a very good one and did not merely moist of bad Gurus and cakes, but was really one which was auhatential and worth eating) without providing pro fessional dancers and music. So that even in those slays a man became eminent not only for his balance at his baoker's but also from his ability to steed on one toe, and it was curious to notice the same shaped Samisen which was placed to accoollany the ,lancing that was now seen ' in our public streets. In order to understand the principles which govern the remarkable positions which accompany balancing •it wan necessary to take into consideration an abstract principle of force or power, called gravitation, which we discovered was the only enemy Illoodie, and might bring him crashing to the earth from Ins perilous height if he did not continue to balance him self by scrupulously and thoughtfully attending to what was called the centre of gravity. It would be impossible to follow Professor Pepper through all his ingentous experi ments that were employed to explain the scientific term of 1 gravitation." Suffice it to say that a mass of matter was taken, and the audience were shown bow to discover its centre of gravity, which wee perfectly distinct from the centre of magnitude. For instance—the centre of magni tude if a billiard hall was the centre of the sphere ; but the centre of gravity might be a differed point if the specific gravity of the ivory varied is era part of the billiard ball. The centre of pevity cootinually eudeavoured to fall towards the centre of our earth. A line, there fore, drawn from the centre of gravity of a body towards the centre of the earth, was called the "line of di. rection.' Now, when the latter was within the hem the Ludy would need ; if it was outside it would tall ; and this fact was illustrated by the story of Columbine and the egg, and the foolish act of people rising in • boat ail consequently upsetting it, the practical moral of which fact was, ' Ladies, keep your seats in • heat, you cannot escape by rising, and are more likely to be drowned if you do so." Allusion was then mule to the Egyptian Pyramids, which were the finest examples of stability and grandeur. I Now, those who had been in the habit of inspecting the worksi of sculptors could not have faded to have noticed the art which was displayed by impeding stability to thin figures by lowering the centre of gravity, as in the case of the statue of Achilles, in Hyde-park, which would be in a perilous positioe if it were nut fur the great man of metal in the armour at his side, which lowered the centre of gra vity. Again, lie instanced the leaning Tower of Pisa. Eaough had ben said to explain the mewling of the term " centre' of gravity," and the art of balancing was then with—with the famous trick at country fairs of a ce o e citilthe swords, Wanner • pail of water upon sticks, the art of walking epos stilts, which was only an imitation of astute, and found its parallel in the case of the stork, which always walked on stilt' and was not fatigued. Amongst the curious and apparently anomalous examples of oslancindwas introduced that of suspending a pail of water at the end of a stick placed on a flat table. And speaking of balancing, the old monks' treats in Westminster Abbey , in Henry the Seventh's Chapel, they were pieced on an ax is which passed through the centre. As long as they remained aw the nothing happened, but directly they west to sleep the mat upset, and they were tumbled out ; this uriclenosl merriment was also provided for at the church at Bishop &milord, where the seats were similarly constructed. A peat number of facts were illustrated by beautiful experiment*, which were then brought forward, and the audience were introduced to the rope dancer, whose basis was narrowed to the breadth of the rope oe which he stood, and that lessened the dial coll.:dal maintaining his balance by the use of • long pole with lead at both ends. When be found himself in clined to one side, he extended the pole in the opposite direction, and was thus enabled to recover his emilibrium. The rope dancers usually kept their eyes fixed on some object in trout, and directly its • line with the rope, by which means they knew when their centre of gravity in clined to one side of the rope or the other ; and thus by the help of the pole they were enabled to keep their centre of putty over the ham, i.e. the rope, narrow as it was. Morelia 's pole was about 28 feet in length, and was mid to weigh about 40Ibe. • The great care which Bloadin took io the preparation of the rope he walked on, which he ha variably superintended in person, gave him an aseuranee of safety which has never yet been mistaken, and he mounts " his hempen brid ge or throne with a confidence that he bean a charmed life . " The Biondi. introduced at Mr. Peppin's lecture was the celebrated aquatic Bloodin, John Spell, who walked acmes the river on a slack rope, at the Hamp ton Regatta, the rope being • common line for towing barges, one inch in diameter, and havin g been broken in one of the trials it swayed up and dews in • very daogerons manner, acid was indeed a slack rope. The hero was the well known waterman and boatlmilder. He was heartily welcomed, and be astonished the audience in a meaner worthy the great Moodie himself. Leotard, we were surprised to been, wee a living pendulum, and the impenonalice el the Galileo experiment, who fir st noticed the swinging eta lamp, and from it was led to determine the laws 'gumboil"; the motion of the pendulum. Professor Pepper pointed out the amazing strength, quickness, agility, and steady bead re quited to change positions from one pendulum to the other, as shown in the wonderful trapeze feats of this accomplished gymnast. A portrait of Leotard was compared with the unique statues of Hercules and Apollo. The lecture was received with great attention and interest by a large audience, and it will be repeated twice • day till further notice.

The figures for 1860 were-total of sheep at the fair, 80,008 ; sold, 74,640 ; unsold, 5,448. It will be seen, therefore, that the supply at liallinasloe this year was short that of 1850 by the large number of 18,000, and short of PM by nearly 7,000. This falling off is ascribed mainly to two causes first, the mortality amongst sheep from the rot, caused by the unusually wet winter of 1860 and the wet summer of the ' present year • second, the increase in the lamb breeding trade ' during the last year. The Leinster dealers find this branch of business profitable, especially in exporting to England, and they made large purchases of ewes in the western districts is the manner months, which, as a matter of course, cut down the supply at the peat October fair. Another resume fur the shortens of the supply may be added -the fact that the railways in the west enabled graziers to promptly . send up sheep to Smithfield whenever the market is in their favour, and this was largely availed of during the present year. With a limited supply, and the Leinster dealer, eager for business, the slight advance in rates on Friday and the substantial advance of Saturday can easily be understood.-fames's Journal.

Perhaps the most rapid, and, within certain limits, completely destructive conflagration that has berm seen is Edinburgh for many years occurred on Saturday evening in one of the crowded localities of the 'south side. The scene of the disaster was the extensive range of work shops belonging to Messrs. Willow and Son, brass foundeni, pa meter manufacturers, pa fitters, and Venetian blind makers, Simon-square, a set of Premises where employment woe given to about '..VO men and boys, and some 20 girls, and which were closely sun ouuded on all sides by dwelling. houses occupied by the working classes, many of them of the poorest description. About six o'clock a girl employed in the lacquering room observed, from her window in Simoo.square, • thick smoke teeming from that part of the work. The alarm was immediately sent to the St. Leonard's and High-street Police-offices, and in • few minutes the cit. Leonard's engine was on the eject, sod the High-etreet engine shortly afterwards. By that tins, however, the whole of the centre building was in • blaze. Several other engines began to play (though with no appreciable effect) upon the (lames, which had spread over and enveloped the whole of the bnissfounders' shops in both divisions of the premises, sod were rapidly extend. lag backwards into the wood-yard and Venetian bliod manu factory in Hardwell-close. So rapidly did the fire rush, as it were, over the buildings, that before 7 o'clook the whole of thesis two ranges of workshops, consisting of at lead five distinct though counected tbree.story eneticoa, were blazing from ". top to bottom. The sense at this moment, as witnessed from the windows and roofs of the surrounding dwellings, was terrifically grand. About seven o'clock thereof of the centre building fell in, sending up spirts of flame, and shows—oot of sparks— but of red-hot cinders and bl azing embers, which were visible over all the city and for miles beyond it. Far some time before this the whole of Simon-square and the erne lanes leading into it, were blocked up with deem muses of human beings, and by the crushing of the crowd both the operations of the fire brigade and the move ments. of the police themselves were for a short time impeded. At this moment, however, most efficient and timely assistance arrived from an unexpected quarter. The City Artillery and Rifle Volunteers had been at regimental drill in the Queen's Park in the afternoon, though in different parts of the ground; and about 150 of the rifles marched up Arthur-street to the fire. Shortly afterwards, the City Artillery gut the order to march home and the greater part of No. 4 and No. 7 companies formed under Captain Nor daunt Gray, and Lieutenants Elgin and Sexton, and " doubled" to the scene of the conflagration. On their arrival, both bodies of volunteess, numbering about 200, w e r e put under the command of Captain Gerrie, who quietly but quickly cleared a way for the admission sod free operation of the fire-engines. A detachment of the artil lery next proceeded round to the Hardwell-close, and after clearing a paanage, rendered valuable ansistance in removing • large quantity of wood, in deals and planks, from the woodyard connected with the Venetian blind factory and joiners' shops. Others of them, in conjunction with the Rifts, cleared Simon-square of the greater portion of the crowd with which it bad been packed. By ten o'clock the fire was so far subdued that little ap prehension was felt for its revival or further extension, and the further plumes of the volunteers being lIDDSCONIfy, they left the ground, where they had rendered good service for more than three hours. By eleven the whole area of Messrs. Laidlaw's premises, extending to about 70 yards long by 60 in breadth, excluding the eras row of workshops on the east side already mentioned, was only filled with gaunt bars walls and smoking rubbish, from which fitful jets of flame blazed up at intervals, with no other effect than to draw down upon themselves • speedy extinguisher from the firemen's hose. THE NEW MARBLES IN THE BRITISH MANCH. The antique marbles recently obtained by the expedition under the command of Lieutenants Smith and Porcher, at Cyrene, have been received at the British Museum. Some of them, which were in fragments, have within the last few days been put together, hod may now (be seen on application.

It was then decided that Mr. Nokes should have a awe for the decision of the court above, and a discussion then ensued as to the service of the overseer's notice. Mr. Nukes admitted that the notice in this case was served on the vestry clerk. Mr. Sidney Smith contended that this was not a good set. vies according to the act. His Honour, after hearing the arguments, granted Mr. Makes a case on this point also. The discussion on the next notice, signed by Luckett, was of • similar character to the preceding, and His Honour said that he really must insist on Luckett's attendance, for he would not take any more secondary evi dence, and he should reject all the objections it they were signed in blank. if Lockett signed any notices which had been filled in he should require him to state which were so signed. Mr. Nokes said it would be utterly impossible for Lucsett to do that. Luckett had been told to attend the court, and it was not his (Mr. Nokea's) fault he was not present. He was ready to admit that some of the notices were signed in blank. His Honour thought that a very lax system prevailed. Mr. Nokes having drawn up a statement of facts on which the barrister should found a use, mid that the party he represented learned the system complained of from Mr. Ledger's own association. Mr. Ledger said the system of having paid objectors was in existence when he tirst became acquainted with the as sociation 19 years ago. His Honour said he did not quarrel with the system, for it was necessary, but it was the manner in which the system was worked out. He was really sorry he could not enter tain Mr. Nokea's objections, it would have saved much time. He must say that all Mr. Nokee's objections had been taken most fairly, and he vim sorry he could not hear them. Mr. Nukes—lt would have been a good thing for the City if they could have been entertained. It was then arranged that Mr. Gilder's name and the others similarly circumstanced should stand over pending the decision of the court above, and they will be sustained if his Honour's ruling is held to be correct. Mr. Nokes next applied for a case for the court above under the following circumstances. Mr. Wdson occupied the first floor of Nu. 32, lbw to-hill, for more Duo twelve months previous to the 31st July last. He was duly rated, and had full and su ffi cient qualcation. The landlord occu pied the shop on the ground floor. There were two doors to the house, one to the shop, and the other leading to the upper part of the house. Mr. Wilson had the key of the second door and was never under the control of the laud lord. Mr. Wilson had been objected to by Mr. Roberts on the liberal side, and Mr. Nokia now asked a case to be grouted that the question might be settled by the court above. His Honour said Mr. Nokes had made out his statement of facts with great (afros's, and at once granted him a MO. rho Court adjourned at half-past four till 11 to-morrow (thie) morning. In consequence of the informalities in the signatures of the notices of objections taken by Mr. Kokes, and the num.- ber of cases in abeyance in consequence, we are unable to give any statistics u to the result, of the revision, but horn the circumstances enumerated, the result has been considerably in favour of the hberal party. TIM AOCEDICNT ON THZ a/AMSTRAD JUNCTION.— DEATH Or ANOTHILI SUP7I/113.—We regret t• add another death resulting from this accident. The North London signalman, Joseph Cox, whose depositions were taken before the coroner at the University Hospital, died yester day morning at seven o'clock in that institution, from the effects of his injuries. He hiui left a wife, but no family. The wife was in the train at the time, and sustained much injury. She haa, however recovered, and was with her deceased husband, attending upon him, up to the period of his death. --- FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTHAMPTON WATER.- On Sunday morning three men, named Isaac Wills, John Pitt, and Thomas England, went out in a boat upon the Southampton Water. They fished all day opposite to the Victoria Hospital, at Netlay, and about 3 o ' clock in the afternoon proceeded to haul up their author. While en wiged in this task the boat was by some means u ps et and England was drowned. The other two were picked up by the crew of a yacht lying close by when the accideut oc curred, and were taken on hoard a Hessian bar. me. England's body has not yet been recovered. Pitt was yesterday in a very precarious condition. SIiocRING CRUELTY TO AN INFANT- —Yeetertlay afteruuou Mr. Thomas Hills held an inquest at Brampton, near Chatham, on the body of an infant. aged six months, named Sophia Mitchell. Mary Jane Hughes deposed that she was barmaid at the King of Prussia, where the mother of the dareased, whose husband had left her, lodged. About a month since the child was fetched by its mother from the Union workhouse, but it had never been provenly attended to. The mother would often leave it for four hours at a time while she was away drinking. Waimea had often re monstrated with her about neglecting the child, but she would tell her to mind her own business. For the last fort night the deceased had had no clothes whatever on, but only wrapped up in an old shawl, which was washed. Whenever any one gave it food it took it with great avidity. On Saturday deceased was seised with convulsions, and died the following day. A great deal of other evidence to the same effect was given. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Ellen Mitchell," the mother, and the coroner immediately issued his warrant for her appre. bonsai° and committal to Maidstone Gaol. - • SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDINT.—Soon after Pleven o'clock on Saturday forenoon • serious accident happened at Book Top Station. on the East Lancashire Branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Burnley, to a young man named Joseph Knighton, stoker of • goods train. The train which had come from Accrington does not proceed further than Burnley, but runs about • hundred yards be yond the station before it stops, to be shunted to the goods warehouse. As the train was passing the station, at • diminished speed, Knighton stepped oft to get his dinner, and in doing so his foot slipped, and he fell backwards be tween the rail and the platform. Two or three of the wag gons passed him without harming him ; but at lest his left leg was caught, the rest of the train passing over it, crush ing through the hose • little above the ankle joint , and leaving the foot hanging by • Bap of Seib. Knighton is about twenty-wen years of age, and a single man.—Leeds Herron,.

The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending October 5 was J,158, of which 984 were new MOM The LORD MAYOR, Wir ia resided, was, OD rising, enthusi astically received. He • —Ladies and gentlemen, I need hardly_ tell you what the object of our meeting here to-night is. We have a twofold object, the one is to confer ou those who have exhibited great merit during the past season the rewards to which they are entitled—(hear, hear)—the other is to annomme a transition from the title of " Metropolitan Evening Classes" to that of the "City of London College." ) It is a mtifying thing to me to be here, and to Lave any kind of in each of these capacities. It is always a gratifying thing to be the medium of bestowing rewards on merit, and it is a gratifying thing to he the means of inaugurating an epoch in which an institution like ethis rose to • class of • higher denomination. !Cheers.) Those who have worked as pupils iu the institution of a humbler denomination have done as much as those who have worked under the new title of the City of London College—(hear, hear)—but it is a gratifying thin to do that even under the new denomination. (Hear, hear.) The members will not be able to do more than those who have worked under the old denomination, but I hope that a greater number will be able to avail themselves of its advantages under the new title and the augmented funds that it will bring with it. If we can have a permanent local establishment, irrespective of the fees and contribu time of those who are supporting it, then, indeed, we may look forward to a long and, I hope, a continued sucomdes of sage WAS kw may a Tim is name. The City of Leedom *regains ita limits, I may say, thensaed. of young moo. It can, therefore, hardly be an object of indiffer ence troths great metropolis, but also to the whole empire, that the leisure hours of the young men who are herd at work all day should be thought of, in order that those young men may employ those leisure hours so that ' they may improve their mental, their moral, and may my their re ligious position. (Cheers.) These are the view, of the gentleman who assists on my right hand, and all them who have taken an active part in this institution and the name under which up to this time it has existed. Let us hope that these views may be promoted, that their object may be obtained, and that their wishes may be gratified. (Cheers.) I will now commence the first part of my pleasing duty, and that is of giving to those whose merits have distinguished them the rewards which the institution is about to bestow. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) His lordship then proceeded to distribute the prizes to the pupils, offering them appropriate remarks of advice and encouragementj in their future career : Mr. George Noble Withall, first-clam certificate and first prim of 51.. for arithmetic ; Mr. George Warrington, first-class certificate and first prize (5/.) in German, and also first-clam certificate in magnetism and electrical heat ; Mr. William Vaughan, first-class certificate and first prise (51.) in geometry ; Mr. Thomas Smith. first-class certificate and first prize (51.) foe bookkeeping ; Mr. Joseph Harvey, first-class certificate and second prize (3/.) for German. The following gentlemen obtained first-class certificates : Mr. Thomas Frederick Wil liams. for bookkeeping and French • Mr. J. Troughton, jun., Mr. Henry James Garai& and ler. Benjamin Fisher, for bookkeeping ; Mr. Joseph Hiam Levy, for arithmetic ; Mr. Henry Hoskins, for algebra ; and Mr. James Rigby Smith and Mr. William Allen, for English history. Second-class certificates were given to the following gen tlemen__ . .—Mr. Walter Robert Clark and Mr. Thomas Frederick Williams, for arithmetic; Mr. George Noble Withal, for arithmetic ; Mr. Joseph Marriott, for music ; Mr. James Staughton Harding, for French ; Megan. James Evans and James Cannon, for bookkeeping ; Mr. George Benson, for English history ; and Mr. Charles Questel, for Latin and Roman history. Third-class certificates were given to Messrs. Thos. John Lloyd and James Troughton,for arithmetic ; and Mr. James CADDO°, for Latin and Roman history. Each student as he came up to receive the reward of merit was greeted with loud applause. At the conclusion of the ceremony, The Rev. R. WnrrnworoN, is proposing "That the best thanks of the meeting be given to the teachers who had so largely contributed to the success of the Metropolitan Even ing CLmes—a success practically shown by the certificates and prizes just presented," said that although they were there to inaugurate a new society, he yet felt that he was in the presence of old friends determined to carry out the great work of education with renewed vigour and on a larger scale. Looking around the room, however, he saw a great many faces which were new to him, and be looked upon their presence as a happy augury of the institution they were met to initiate, and which would depend for its success upon the great prin. ciple of self-government. (Hear, bear .) He wished the young men of the City of London to remember that since the great meeting at the Maneon.house, the procngs of which had gone forth to the world, the eyes of the whole community would be upon them, and they should show themselves worthy of the appeal on that occasion made on their behalf by the Bishop of London. If they took that course it was certain that success must &Used the college, and that it would be distinguished in the great work of education. The Metropolitan Evening Clams achieved a high position, and he hoped that the college as their successor would not forfeit that position. The certificates which had been presented by the Lord Mayor were, it should be recollected, awarded by a body of independent examiners, selected for that office solely on account of their well-known acquirements, and not know. jug anything whatever of the candidates except through the papers submitted for examination. There were altogether is the United Kingdom MG institutions competent to send up young men to compete for those cer tificates and prizes, and it was agreeable to think that on the last, ea on former occasions the alumni of the cretin classes carried off the lion's sh are. Not to boast, he would slay that they had on moat occasions equalled, and on several occasioas exceeded, them in the number of prises they carried off.
