It appeared by the Registration Act of the 6th Viotoeis e. 18, e. 67, whenever any decision of any revising banister shall be reversed or altered, so as to require any alteration or esenettes of the register of voters, notice should be forthwith given by one of the waters of the court to the sheriff, who shall alter or correct the register accordingly, which has bees dose ; but the sat makes no provision for Pe ase ,ce of melt situation beiog given to the Clerk at the who thereto's bad maned no notice of the &Oasis. The Revising Barrister observed that this seemed a was misses in the act of parliament, sad although the question was ase for the esereiee of his own discretion he world be happy to hese my observational the pent. Mr. Corner said the point same upon him by surprise. Re bad 'opposed that all the parties whose votes had been in question before the Court of Common Pleas bad been on the resider except Mr. Astbury, the appellant, the onions of whose name certainly appeared to be inexpli cable, osier he had parted with his qualification, se Nome others had done. In fact be believed many of them did not now Velem the sane qualification, sad their suns not having appeared in the published list no opponseity had been afforded to object to them. lf the Revisieg Banister should now insert these seventeen names he might insert twathirds of them without any qualification, or any claim or application by themselves. AU these parties had had the same notice of the omission of their names as any one else, via., the copy of the register on the church door, sad it was their duty to come here and object to each oinieidon in the proper masses • bet it appeared most sin gular, that et seesaws pewee:said to ham bees improperly maimed, not one appeared to isomplide, sad it was any en application to the alert of the peace to correct what was certainly no error of his or of the overseers, that their mums were proposed to be besotted without say notice to the public, or any opportunity of objecting. Mr. Gomez sebalitted to the Residua Barrister that if these same eosid be sossidered es having been aosidostany omitted from the list, whether by the fault of the overseers or the clerk of the peace,the parties she id some, as is other noes of omission ; and having their right to the qaelitiestios, their sous might t r e e"l ieterted in the teener awarding to see. 37 of the Rion- Theßevising Barrister said his attention bevies bees previously called to the circumstances, he had folly Ns adored the ease, and the law applicable to it, sad he was of °piano that no blame attached either to the sheriff, the clerk of the peace, or the overseers, but he should consider the names as upon the register, as undoubtedly they ought to be, having been oceideatally omitted from the register, as if a street wee last, and he should Mort the senses so oriedinely ' m in his opinion ma. 37 applkd to pumas slabs. lag, esd not to peruse on the register. TOOTING. Mr. Jesse proved notices of objection to five electors and ' sustained the whole of them. WANDIWOUTZ.

The hall yearly report (an abstract of which has already appeared in our columns) was bold as read. The Ciciaex, in soviet the adoption of the report, said that it so fully explained the state of affAirs for the pest half year, that there woe so occasion for any explana tely observations from him. There me one point, bow ever, to which he thought it necessary to allude, namely, the expenditure of 2,0091. 13s. Id. oaths Alias breach from 31st January to 31st July, 1866. The Allots ferry bad been much yard previous to the extension of the Stirling and Dunfermline Use to Saralee. sad was let to a contractor for 7001. per annum. TM directors found latterly that Moos the &klieg asid Dunfermline Railway was brought to Stirling tke ferry was 110 t so much required as it bed been, and therefore they considered it beet for their own interest to take the steamboat and cabin property Warping to the contractor into their own heads, thereby saving what appeared to be much un necessary expense. Another point in the report was the isms of the restaisder of the preference shares. The directors bad considered it more advisable to issue these shares, on secomit of the large sum still due by the com pany to bankers, and the present high este of interest. Ile thought they bad taken a favourable opportunity for doing so. With regard to the goods traffic on the lice, a short malysis would show its progressive improvement for the five previous half-years ending mob on 31st July. For the battiest ending on 31st July. 1851, the goods train* aseousted to 17,13821. ; ditto 1862, 22,0331. ; ditto 1863, 24,1841.; ditto 1864, 31,2631.; and ditto 1856, 37,3671. This showed a most satlslsctory progressive improvement. As for the passenger Isaac, it could not be 'spewed to in mate in anything like the same ratio, sad be thought the shareholders @Meld be quite contested if for the future it kept up to an equality with what it had been for some time back. The motion wu then adopted. Mr. DUNDAII then moved a dividend at the rate of 61. per oast per annum, as recommended in the report, which was ag reed to.

The report of the directors of this company states that the net revenue for the past hairiest amounts to 26,6201., which, after paying the interest of the ualiquidated debt and other outgoings, will provide a dividend on the share capital little abort of 9 per cent. per annum. To pro ceed with the capitalisation of the mortgage debt, a farther call of 11. 16s. per share will be made oa the 111.55. shares, and the same will be doe on the 31st of October nest. The future meetiegs of the company will be belt at the Castle station, Lancaster, where the new ogles* are now nearly completed.

WORCESTER AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.—There seems every probability that this project will not be carried out, although the act for making the line has been obtained, and the district greatly needs accommodation. Another meeting has been held at Worcester, with the view ot con structing that vortiun of the line between Worcester and Malvern. Mr. Pritchard, secretary to th e Newport and Aber g y and Hereford Railway , into which line the Worcester and Hereford would run at Hereford. stated that the amount subscribed by the rublie i s 285,0001., while 600,0001. is the estimated coot. The London and North Waters Company had promised 160,000/, but now declined. and this sum would be subacribed by toe New Aber , and Hereford Company, if the remsiniog 11600 W. er g found by the district. Unless this is done within a month, however, the 42,4051. deposited with the eovernment will be forfeited and the company be dissolved. Mr. Pritchard said the Newport . Aberg y, end Hereford Company would only support the lima in its entirety. Mr. Parsons, solicitor to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, said that company was most enclose for amine from Worcester to Hereford, and the meeting was adjo until the malts of the mesons for raising addis local capital were known.
