INVERNESS, OCT. 4. —Our meeting this season was the most gay and spirited that has been witnessed in Inverness for at least ten years. In addition to the usual balls, dinner and supper parties, popular games were instituted. Throwing the hammer, putting the stene, and rifle shooting. Among the best shuts were Lords Lovat and W. Lennox, Mackenzie of Scatwell, and Sir Francis Mackenzie of Gairloch, Bart. The prize was won by the latter. The dinner parties at the rooms of the meeting were well attended; Sir F. Mackenzie pre sided on the Thursday, Lord Saltouu on the Friday. The absence of the Duke of Richmond was regretted. Among the general expressions of gratification that were heard from all quarters the following observations by a Noble Lord who was present deserve to be mentioned :—" Isincerely hope that every exertion will be made to keep up this ancient festival. I think it desirable in every point of view. I wish to see the Highlander leave his native hills, and, by joining in manly sports, prove to the world that the courage, daring, and strength that distinguished his ancestors have not degenerated in the present day. I also wish to see the amusements of the humbler class kept up, for by holding communication with them, by sympathising with them when in distress, and joining their sports in their leisure hours, we gain that which neither wealth can command nor rank confer—the love and respect of our less fortunate brethren." This feeling was cordially re sponded to ; and LePrd Saltoun also—as all who know his Lordship will readily believe—expressed his anxious desire to contribute to the success and the amusements of the meeting. Among the company were—Lord and Lady Saltoun, Lord and Lady Lovat, Lords W. Fitz Roy and H. Lennox, the Hon. William and Mrs. Fraser, the Hon. E. and Mrs. Jer ningham, Lady Beddingfield, Sir F. and Lady Mackenzie, Lady Fraser Ramsay, &c. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. MIDDLESEX. Messrs. Coventry and Tawlyn held their respective Courts on Monday at the Black Dog Inn, Bedfont, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for the parishes in the district of Bedfont. Objections of overseers 9 ; all of which were sustained. The Reformers objected to 92 votes and sustained 20. The Tories sustained 4, and made 13 objections. The lists of objections in the parishes of Taldington, Ashford, Wanwortb, and Cranford, not having been posted on the church doors by the overseers, could not be gone into. They will be revised at Hammersmith. SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH AND THE LEEDS CHARITIES. (From the Leeds Mercury.) Sir William Molesworth, Bart., M.P. for this borough, on being applied to by the Committee for the relief of the unemployed poor for a subscription, has declined to sub scribe, on the ground that it would be a kind of indirect bribery, and that he thinks it right to discountenance the practice of applying to Members of Parliament for money in aid of local objects, when the Members do not reside in the borough. We regret to be unable to publish Sir William's letter ; for, although he requested the committee to send it to us for publication last week, and although we have this week received his own authority to ask for that letter with a view to its publication, the Committee have not yet allowed us to have a copy. The question as to the subscribing of Members of Parlia ment to charitable objects in the places which they repre sent, when they do not reside in those places, is one of con siderable difficulty. Every one knows that this has been one of the established forms of bribery under the old system of representation, and that it still is so in the smaller and more corrupt boroughs. Members arc there found outbid ding one another by their subscriptions to various local ob jects, and thus injuring their fortunes, without (in most cases) doing any real good to their representatives. In some boroughs it is customary for the members to give a plate to be run for at the races ; in some balls and feasts are given ; in others newsrooms are partially maintained ; and in others, agaiii,large doles of money, flour, coals, blankets, &c., are made to the poor. And all this is done, not because the Member is a rich inhabitant of the place, but solely because he is the Member, and frequently when he has no other con nection with the borough. It cannot he doubted that this is a kind of bribery, near akin to the distributing of head money ; and we have heard the latter practice defended in the House of Commons, by confounding it with the some what more equivocal practice above mentioned. Now, we are sure that the people of Leeds do not expect their Members to pay for their seats by subscriptions. They would reject with scorn every form of bribery. They expect from their representatives honest public service, not pr►vate or pecuniary advantage. They will, therefore, ho nour the motives of Sir William Molesworth in his refusal, which no one but a mere partisan of the opposite faction would think of ascribing ., to wish to save his money. Still we admit that the question is one of some difficulty, as a Member, by being elected, seems to become a denizen of the community which has thus adopted him, and to ac quire the obligations as well as the privileges of a citizen. But we incline to think that the cause of political purity would gain much more than charitable subscriptions would lose by the refusal of non-resident Members (always con fining our remarks to Members who are non-resident, and who have therefore charities to support in places where they do reside) to subscribe to local objects. The repre sentation of the people, which is the very fountain of legis lation and go►ernment, cannot be too jealously guarded from all corruption. Since the above was written we have received from Lir William Molesworth himself a copy of his letter to Mr. Lister, Secretary of the Relief Committee, and also a copy of a second letter in rejoinder to the reply of the Committee. We insert them both. Our apace does not allow us to say more than this, that every man of common sense will perceive the solidity of Sir William's reasons for the course he has adopted, and every man of common fair ness will admit his motives to be pure and high, and free from all taint of illiberality. FROM SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, BART., M.P. (No. 1.) " Pencarrow, Sept. 21. " Sin,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Sept. 16, in which you request me, as one of the representatives of Leeds, to subscribe towards some object of local utility. In declining to comply with your request I would take the liberty of stating to you the motive of my refusal. It is founded upon the view which I take of the relation which ought to exist between the representative and his constituents, and the obligations which thence arise. " Prior to the change effected in the principles of our Constitution by the Reform Bill, the representative was considered in the light of the patron of the borough or county which he represented, in virtue, generally, of ,his wealth and local influence. In order to keep up this local influence he was expected to reside amongst his constitu ents, and to expend large sums of money in the form of subscriptions, and in other modes of indirect bribery. The relation between the representative and his constituents was almost a private one, and its objects were the private advantages of the party concerned. Except in a few cases, none but the wealthy and the powerful, or their dependents, had the slightest chance of obtaininc , a seat in Parliament ; the people were not represented, and those who styled them- selves the people's representatives were the instruments of a narrow oligarchy. _ _ " The feelings connected with the ancient system of re presentation still continue to exist ; and as they arc, in my opinion, excessively pernicious, they ought, on every occa sion, to be combated by those who think that the relation between the representative and the electoral body is not a private but a public one, in which both parties are placed under great moral obligations. The electors are morally bound to select as their representative persons of whose political character and opinions they fully approve, and the choice of the electors ought, therefore, to depend upon the moral and intellectual qualities of the candidates, and not upon their pecuniary possessions ; for to the hands of the persons thus selected a great public trust is confided. The representatives, on the other hand, are equally bound to discharge that trust to the best of their abilities. The ac curate performance of their public duties, and the public services which they render as Members of Parliament, ought to be their only titles to the favour and approbation of their constituents, and the only mode in which they should display their gratitude for the honour of being elected by independent citizens. " It is evident the expenditure which is sometimes re quired from the representative in the form of subscriptions cannot be considered as a mode of discharging his trust, nor can it be looked upon as a performance of any public duty, or as any public service which ought to entitle him to the approbation of his constituents. It is, therefore, in reality, merely a species of bribe for conciliating the good-will of the electors, who ought only to be influenced by considera tions of a public nature, and of a far higher description. To the wealthy the amount of such subscriptions is of slight consequence ; and in many of the venal boroughs it forms the only assignable reason for the selection of the members. On the other hand, it presses as a heavy tax upon the poorer and real representatives of the people. It tends, therefoj,e, in many cases, to exclude from Parliament all but the rich, and thus virtually makes the choice of the elector depend upon the pecuniary qualifications of the candidates. These tendencies I consider to be of the most mischievous de scription, and I feel it my duty to resist them by attacking, on the first opportunity, a system which I think most pernicious. " By the Reform Bill a new class of constituencies was formed, free from the prejudices and false notions of the ancient borough system ; they have entertained, and will, I trust, long entertain, high and correct notions of the mutual obligations which ought to exist between the representative and the electors. In becoming Member for Leeds I re joiced in representing one of these favoured constituencies. " I feel satisfied that in the reasons which I have given for refusing to comply with your request I act in strict ac cordance with the principles which have raised me to the honourable post of your representative. " I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, " WM. MOLESWORTH. " J. S. Lister, Esq., Leeds." (No. 2.) " Pencarrovv, Oct. 4,1837. " Sir—ln reply to your letter of the 30th of last month, I assure you I should on no account press the publication of my letter in either of the two Liberal papers at Leeds if it would (as you seem to imagine) tend to prevent charitable contributions ; but it appears to me that no more harm can be done in this respect than has been already effected by your permitting its matter to be inserted in a garbled form in one o f t h e co l umns of the Tory paper. Moreover, my arguments are in no way opposed to charitable contribu tions generally, and I should be most sorry if I thought they would discourage benevolent persons from attempt ing, in a suitable manner, and in their proper sphere, to relieve the wants of their fellow-beings. 1 did not discuss the general question of charity, or in what man ner or by whom it should be exercised : I only pro tested against a system which rendered it obligatory on re presentatives (in their position of representatives) to con tribute by pecuniary aid to the local charities, amuse ments, &c., of their constituents. In that letter I stated at full length my reasons for objecting to such a system ; I need not therefore trespass upon your patience by recapitu lating them. I would only observo that you have fallen into error by supposing that I, in any way, considered the subscription for which I was asked as a party question ; I merely wished to make you understand that your only grounds for applyin g to me were, that I am one of the mem bers for L ee d s, and that you would not have applied to me bad I not been in that position ; my answer was, that as your representative I had certain obligations to perform to wards yourself and your brother electors, but that I did not, for the reasons assigned, consider that pecuniary contribu tions are or ought to be classed amongst those duties. " Your informant who states that I expressed my willing ness to subscribe after the election must have deceived him self. I remember that some application was made to me, with which I civilly refused to comply, though at the same time I may have expressed my approval of the scheme in question. I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. " J. S. Lister, Esq., Leeds." CHILD STEALING.—On Saturday, at the Lewis ham Petty Sessions, Maria Smith, a young woman of pre possessing appearance, was brought up to answer the fol lowing charge :—Henry Jones deposed as follows : " I am a painter, and reside in David's-place, Greenwich. About five mouths ago I took compassion on the prisoner, who is an orphan, and in distressed circumstances, and allowed her to lodge in my house. On the 15th of August last she absconded, taking with her my youngest child, a little girl, aged fifteen months. I had a quantity of handbills printed and circulated, describing both her (the prisoner) and the child, and also an insertion in the Hue and Cry, but without effect. My wife being in a state of mind bordering on dis traction, I caused an advertisement to be inserted in the Greenwich Gazette, but that alsia proved fruitless. I then made up my mind never to see the infant again. On Sa turday night last, at a late hour, I received private infor mation that the prisoner was at Lee. I immediately went there, and apprehended her opposite the Tiger's Head. The child was in a most dreadful state, being covered with ver min and sores, and reduced to a mere skeleton. On my road to the station-house I met with Mr. Adams, the in spector of the Lee police, and gave her into his custody." The prisoner, upon being called upon for her defence, did not deny the charge, but begged for mercy. Mr. Jones stated to the Bench that the prisoner had also stolen some knives which he used in his busi:sess. The Chairman, after commenting in strong terms on the base ingratitude of the prisoner, fully committed her for trial on both charges at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court. The case excited great interest. THE LAST or C lIARLES LAMB.—Lamb passed the last period of his life in the village, or more soundingly, the " Hundred "of Edmonton. To a native of that same rusticity and an occasional resident it was a strange yet consistent sight to observe the form in " clerk-like black," taking a regular morning walk on the dusty London-road, instead of diving into the shady sweetness of the green lanes. But we see his wistful, half-averted glances at the coaches that passed cityward, and felt his yearnings to wards the scenes of his youth. He died in consequence of a trifling accident that happened to him during one of these walks, and was buried in Edmonton Church-yard. He had pointed out the spot himself a short time before while walk ing there with his sister, " as the place where he wished to be buried." The spot is by no means romantic, though something of the kind might easily hare been found among the mossy, mouldering carved vaults and tombs at remote corners, beneath old yew trees, dense blackthorn hedges, or beside the venerable buttresses of the old church walls. Lamb, however, preferred to be located not only where the place was pretty thick with companionable tombs, but where he could be nearer the walks of human life. His gravestone accordingly stands at a little distance, facing a footpath which leads to the lanes and fields at the back of the church. The inscription upon it is simple, "To the memory of Charles Lamb. Died on the 27th of Dec. 1834: aged 59." There, in fixed peacefulness among a crowd of familiar names—names known from infancy—we often see it stand with palid smile just after sunset, while sparrows fly chirruping from tomb to tomb, and ruminating sheep recline with half-closed eyes against the coarse flat stone or grassy mound.—British an d F orc iyn Review. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Black Horse, Rathbone-place, Oxford -street, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Bird, aged 63, an extensive livery stable keeper, who committed suicide by hanging himself under very melancholy circumstances. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who carried on his business in Rathbone-place, was a widower, most of his family being grown up and provided for. For some months past the unfortunate man had been in a low desponding state of mind, for which no cause could be assigned, as his affairs were not at all embarrassed, and he lived on the most affec tionate terms with his family. On Thursday morning his housekeeper went to call him, as was her custom, but re ceiving no answer she entered, and found that her master was absent ; search being made on the premises the unfor tunate man was discovered hanging to a beam in one of the haylofts ; he was instantly cut down, and Mr. Olding, a surgeon, sent for, who promptly arrived, and endeavoured by bleeding and other remedies to restore animation, but ineffectually, as life was quite gone. Verdict—" Temporary mental derangement." MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—The family and friends of Mr. George Bristow, grocer, of Potter's Bar, near South Minims, have ever since Tuesday se'nnight been in a state of serious alarm in consequence of no tidings having been heard of him since his leaving his home that morning, for the purpose of making tome payments and purchases in London. A gentleman who was in London on Saturday, anxiously making inquiries at the request of the family, states that Mr. Bristow left his home as early as six o'clock in the morning, taking with him between .50/. and 601., with the avowed intention of calling and making pay ments at two wholesale houses in London with which he dealt. He set out on foot, but on getting on the road was overtaken by a respectable inhabitant of the same place, named John Hannaway, in whose cart he rode to Finchley, where both stopped, and had some bread and cheese and ale. Mr. Bristow complained then, and pre viously on the road, of feeling unwell, and in consequence retired two or three times. About nine o'clock in the morning the Finchley omnibus to London came up to the inn door, and Mr. Bristow got into it. All trace of him here ceases. The driver recollects taking a gentleman up under the circumstances stated, but cannot say where he set him down. Inquiries have been made at the wholesale houses in London, where Mr. Bristow said he intended calling, but it appears be had not been to either of them. He is a married man, and has been so for twenty years, during which time he has lived happily with, his wife, who states that never, (luring this long period, had he absented himself from his home a single night without giving an intimation of his intention, and where he was going to. There was no quarrel or misunderstanding prior to his leaving home. SAGACITY OF A HORSE.—An old coach-horse at Mellerstain, a very fine horse in his day, and known by the name of Charlie, but whom age had rendered unfit for service, has for some years past been kept as a pensioner, occasionally doing light jobs on the farm. During the pre sent harvest he has been employed in carrying out porridge for the shearers' breakfast. The other day, ater work, the boy who drove him turned him into the field at the mill, without paying particular attention to him ; soon afterwards Charlie was seen to jump the dyke, proceed leisurely along the road up to the smithy, deliberately place himself in the shoeing-shed, standing there patiently till the blacksmith, surprised at seeing Charlie arrive alone, examined him, and found he had lost a forefoot shoe, in consequence of which he was quite lame. The shoe being replaced, Charlie was sent back to his pasture, where he has since remained quietly. —Edinburgh Advertiser. Dr. J. P. Johnson, of Monskfield, one of the ma gistrates for Montgomeryshire, has by his indefatigable per severance obtained a clue to a regularly organised gang of horse, sheep, and cattle stealers, who had for a length of time carried on their depredations without detection to a most extraordinary extent, having a general rendezvous in the Long Mountain. On Friday last a part of the gang were fully committed for trial to Worcester Gaol on dis tinct charges of horse and sheep stealing having been pre ferred against Humphrey Spicer, John Spicer, John Spicer the younger, Richard Parry, and John Davis, alias Tanner. As one of the gang has turned approver, the other members are expected to be soon in custody.—Salop iast Journal. A blooming, fresh•coloured, plump, young damsel, 19 years of age, but low in stature, dressed in a blue jacket, drab trowsers, valentia waistcoat, a green checked stock, white stockings, a dark green cap, with a pair of small feet enveloped in satinet slippers, the black hair of her head nicely braided and pinned up, as were also the ringlets on each side of her head, was brought up for assaulting Martha Squires, at Holloway's show, and tearing her bonnet off her head. It appeared, the young lady, who was inclined for a lark, or a bit of fun as she called it, had dressed herself in her brother's clothes, and was paying her ad dresses to Miss Squires, who not fancying the itfportuni ties of Master —., turned round upon him and smacked his face, upon which the gallant's ire was raised to that pitch which he could not brook, and, ungentlentan-like, retaliated most furiously on the bonnet of Miss S., which he speedily demolished, and for which ntis-fortunate affair he was hurried to the Police-office, by one of those " peace officers" who are ever on the alert for either naughty boys or girls. On ex pressing deep contrition for what she had done, she was dis charged, on the payment of 25.,-..Vatinghnin Review. (FROM MR. WAGHORN.) ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 18.—On the 3d instant I Mehemet s Ali returned from Candia. The waters of the /itle pro mise well this year ; that river is now at a fair height, on which wholly dedends the plenteousness of next year's crop. I may here mention two of the most remarkable traits in the character of Mahomet Ali, which happened at Can dia a few days ago, and again in Egypt. A Turkish woman of that place bad turned Christian some time since, and lately had some property left her, and she accordingly ap plied to the Mekkami, or Turkish Ecclesiastical Court, for the possession of it. That court awarded that, ae she had turned Christian, she had forfeited her right to it. The woman petitioned Mahomet Ali, who immediately ordered her the property, saying be knew of no difference with re spect to religion. Again, on Mahomet Ali's arrival at Alexandria, he made known to all the women of his harem that they were free, except those by whom he had bad children, rind thus are 1,50 females, before sequestered in the Alexandrian hmern, restored to Egypt. Is not this man worthy the appala tion of the regenerator of Egypt ? The coal depot Ariadne for her Majesty's steamers has been moored under the walls of the palace ; and her Ma jesty's ship Portland sailed from here to Malta on the 15th instant, with the stores and fifty men belonging to her Ma jesty's ship Russell, who brought the Ariadne to Alexandria. There has been a great deal of good feeling shown between Mahomet Ali and Captain Price, of the Portland ; in fact, his Highness is most delighted when any of her Majesty's ships visit this port. The eldest daughter of Mahomet Ali left for Syria, con veyed by three frigates, a short time since, where she lands for the benefit of the baths near Tiberias. The peasantry (fellahs) of Egypt have just had made known to them that his Highness leaves them free, in the forthcoming year, to grow whatever they please, whether grain, cotton, or any thing else. _ _ _ A sloop of 2.2 guns was launched a fortnight ago, and on the 12th instant a steam-vessel also was launched ; for which vessel two engines had previously arrived, through Messrs. Joyce, Thurburn, and Co., of Alexandria ; the engines were made at Bristol. Besson Bly (a Frenchman),.Viee-Admiral of the Egyptian fleet, died on the 12th 'instant, much respected. 44 ' -,411 1/kf Part of the Pacha's fleet are cruising off Alexandria, con sisting of five line-of-battle ships, besides frigates, brigs, &c., solely for progressing in discipline and manoeuvres. The United States frigate Constitution, having on board General Cass and family (American Minister to Paris), arrived here on the 13th instant. His visit is purely on pleasure, added to recruiting the health of himself and fa mily. He has proceeded on io Cairo, leaving the frigate at anchor here. Two thousand tons of coals are expected at this port for the use of the steam-vessels in the Red Sea. These will be sent by water to Cairo, and afterwards transported on the backs of camels in sacks over the desert to Suez. These coals are expected to cost nearly 41. a ton, when on 'ward the steamers at that place, from the minas in Eng -1"d. When her Majesty's Government and the East India Company send an iron steam-boat tug to tow the coals to Cai.7o, they will be placed at Suez for 3/. a ton, and it is suppo.:cd even at a less price by and bye. Coals have hitherto cos! the East India Company double that price at Suez when ~geet via the Cape to Bombay, landed there, and then reshipp;e l for Suez. There is not any plagt:e in Egypt at present, nor has there been any, except one so;:tary casa in the lazaretto, for the last two months. The icrench steamers have not ceased running from the Ist of May .last between Frans e -nd Egypt without a single irregularity, and have always ar• rived at Alexandria on the Gth, 16th, and 26th, leaving it again on the Bth, 18th, and 28th. Egypt has never been more healthy than it is nlw since 1834. I can speak positively to this important fact. The Duke of Treviso has ordered a costly barge to be built at. Cowes, for aquatic excursions on the Seine. It is to be sent to the seat. of the gallant Duke, near Paris. A French brig, Le Landau . , was wrecked during a fog, off St. Just, near the Land's End, on Saturday night, and by a miracle the crew and passengers, seventeen in number, were saved. We have much sorrow in announ cing that the country people and miners hastened to the coast, stealing whatever part of the cargo came to shore from the vessel, which went completely to pieces. Several casks of wine and brandy were obliged to be broached and ttaa contents lost, in order to prevent the people from drink ing them.—Cornwall Royal Gazette. On Saturday evening a most alarming fire broke out in the farm-yard of Mr. Crump, at Child's Wickham, near Evesham, which destroyed all the valuable stock, consisting of twenty-one wheat-ricks and nearly as many hay-ricks, all the barns, stables, sheds, the dwelling-house, stock of beer, cider, cheese, poultry, &c. The flames then com municated to the farm of Mr. Smith, the son-in-law of the above-named gentleman, the whole of whose stock and farm ing meterials were speedily in a blaze, and were, with part of his house, consumed. The engine from Evesham being of a small size, ufforded very little assistance in stopping the progress of the tiesnes, which for a time threatened the whole village. There 1 . ; not the smallest doubt of this be ingpersons ea- the diabolical act of some incendialY, and three have been taken into custody of: the charge,.or further n, after x being examined, were committed to prisoo mination.—Cheltenhanz Gazette. On Wednesday a painful act of self-rt urder was: committed by a servant of Hr. Hunt, of Athering!on. Mr. Hunt sent a man, named Baker, to Barnstaple e'ir for the purpose of selling a horse. Two men came up to &IT. and asked him what he wanted for the horse. .He said his master had desired him not to take less than 22/. One of the men offered him another horse in exchange, which his confederate offered to buy at the sum Baker wanted for -his: horse. The bait unfortunately took, and of course the swindler would not keep his promise. The poor man re turned home with the horse, which was not worth more than 41., and, being stung with his folly in being taken in by the sharpers, he went into an outhouse and hanged him self.—? North Devon Journal. Within the last few clays an ingenious experiment has been resorted to by the " smashers" for the purpose of passing counterfeit coin. A person who is usually dressed respectably purchases a few apples of some of the vendors in the streets, and tenders in payment what appears to be a sovereign, at the same time asking for the change in copper., The vendor is thus induced to think that the " gentleman" has given a sovereign in mistake for a shilling, and useally stows it away without any minute examination, in case the mistake should be discovered. The purchaser receives 10d. or I Id. in change and walks away, whilst the seller shifts his quarters forthwith, lest the former should return. On pro ' ceeding to examine the " sovereign" more seriously he is soon convinced that he himself has been duped, the coin being a counterfeit, of the intrinsic value of a farthing. The same trick has been tried with great success on the sixpenny-faro omnibus cads, and in no instance have these honest func tionaries detected the imposition till too late. The time chosen is generally the evening, and to complete the decep tion the trickster frequently pretends to be " groggy," as more likely in this condition to confound one coin with another. FIRE ON BOARD A STEAMER.-31011day after noon, at two o'clock, on the arrival of the new and large steam-ship Sirius, off Alderman's Stairs, from Cork, with passengers, goods, and cattle, a fire was discovered in ode of the coal bunkers on the larboard side of the vessel, near the furnaces, which had extended so far among the coals that the engineers and stokers were unable to subdue it by ordinary means, and as soon as the passengers were landed orders were given to tear up the decks ; and seve ral holes having been cutivith the carpenter's adzes, a dense volume of smoke ascended, which caused very great alarm among the crews of the various ships and steamers in the tier, and immediate preparations were made for haul ing away, and expresses were sent off to the floating en gines of the London fire brigade establishment moored off the Thames police office, between Rotherhithe and Wap ping, and at Southwark Bridge. In the meantime the cap tain, officers, and crew of the Si/ha adopted active mea sures for its suppression. Their own fire engine on board was set to work, and the hose was carried over several ves sels in the tier from the Express and Scotia steam-ships, be longing also to the St. George's Company, and by the united power of the three engines, large quantities of water were discharged into the Sirius, and with complete effect, .for in less than half an hour the fire was got under, and all further danger was at an end.

Half an hour before that time the captain and the officers were at dinner in the cabin, and the crew were engaged in dis charging the pigs and cargo, as if nothing uncommon had happened. The Sirius had only made four passages, and is a very large and splendid steam-ship, with engines of great power. ril HE NATURALISTS LIBRARY. IL Conducted by Sir WILLIAM JARDINE, Bart., P.R. S.E.

Mr. Craig yesterday completed the revision of the lists of voters for the city of Westminster. The final result of the registration shows that the Libe ral agents failed in substantiating 83 claims and 186 ob jections ; and that the Tory agents failed in 106 claims and 124 objections. EAST SURREY. The revising barristers sat at Croydon, yesterday, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in this district of the division of the county of Surrey. (Before Mr. TURNER.) CREATION OF VOTERS. Mr. John Chrees, the Conservative, again claimed to be inserted on the list of voters, in respect of a freehold inte rest in a piece of ground producing him upwards of 40/. Mr. Richards objected to the vote. Mr. Chrees, in support of his claim, presented to the barrister a deed of agreement between himself and a gentle man named Jourdain, by which he conveyed the land in question to the latter gentlemon at a rent of 45/. a year. He also produced a receipt for 1/. 2s. 6d., being for half a year's rent. Mr. TURNER—As Mr. Chrees swears that the agree ment is a bona fide one, I must allow the vote. There were other objections to claims arising out of similar parcels of land, all of which were allowed, with the exception of one. (Before Mr. Basrr.) No business of the slightest interest occurred in this court. The following is a list of the objections allowed or dis allowed in the revising barrister's court for the parish of Croydon : Made.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the resolution of thanks passed by the Court of Common Council to the Court of Aldermen for the proceedings of the latter in furthering the views and recommendations of the late Sheriffs, Sir James Duke and John Johnson, Esq., respect ing the alterations in•the gaol of Newgate. THE INTENDED ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITIZENS OF LONDON. Alderman VENABLES stated to the Court, as Chairman of the Police Committee appointed to make regulations for the reception of her Majesty on the 9th of November, that the Committee had proceeded assiduously, and indeed he might say laboriously, in the matter of reference, and be hoped that the report which they should make would meet with a satisfactory reception from the Court. The Com mittee were not yet ready with their report, but in a few days it would be necessary to call a Court to take it into consideration.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman COPELAND said, that as that was the day for issuing the Lord Mayor's precept to the several City Com panies to attend upon the Lord Mayor's day, he thought the opportunity ought to be taken to append a letter to each precept, suggesting the propriety of the attendance of the members in different parts of the City in the line in which the procession was to move, with banners and music, to evince in the strongest manner the loyalty of the citizens to their Queen.—(Cheers.) The precept to the Companies for their attendance by land and water on the Lord Mayor's day, was then read and approved, and the Court sanctioned the Committee to issue a letter to the Livery Companies for their attendance in the streets through which her Majesty will pass on Lord Mayor's day in their Livery gowns, with banners and other appropriate decorations, to testify their respect to her Ma jesty upon her visit to the City. Alderman Copeland's plan, which will be handed in to the Committee, comprehends not only the Corporation and the Livery Companies, but all the charity children in the city of London, and the most gorgeous illumination. The usual orders of preparation for Lord Mayor's day were then issued, and the Court adjourned. During the present and preceding week Edwin Chadwick, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, has been pursuing his inquiries in several parts of the county into the working of the Cheshire constabulary force ; pre paratory, it is said, to the bringing forward in the ensuing Parliament of a Bill for the establishment of a general system of police in England.—Maccles f ield Courier.

This interference with the franchise has made many additional converts to the Ballot : nothing else can protect the voter from the unconstitutional proceedings and disgraceful conduct of the Tories. To some of the rejected this affair will prove of much inconvenience, but the greater part resent it with proper spirit. Many of those who have received notice for having voted for Tollemache and Turner now express their regret for not having given the latter a plumper, which the greater part will do next time, and no doubt the Liberal strength will be augmented by this effort to destroy it. It is generally believed that Lord Hunting tower has been instigated to this business by the Tory Lord Lieutenant (whom the Liberal Ministry allow to remain in office to insult and oppose them on every possible occasion) and the amiable Vicar of Grantham.—Hull Observer. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND IiUmOURIST Yost OCTOBER.--“ We would willingly pay double the price of this number for the spirited and well executed portrait (accompanied with a biographical sketch) of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd." So says the Dublin Evening Mail, and so say we. The New Monthly still holds its place as one of the best, most readable, and interesting periodicals of the day. Theodore Hook keeps up the fun and humour of the " Gurney Papers." Besides the" Phan tom Ship," Captain Marryat contributes another paper, which is light and humorous, the " Confessions and Opi nions of Ralph Restless." We have not space to enume rate all the other articles of merit, but the paper on " Shoot ing" is especially deserving of commendation. There is now an apple-tree in the garden of Mr. T. Harper, nurseryman, of Nog!), in full bloom. The fruit is beginning to set, and the tree is large enough to bear from twelve to sixteen hundred apples. The Algenzeine Zietung has a long story, copied from a Hungarian paper, giving an account of an English clergyman travelling to Fiume, who is said to have got into a row with his posthoy;. to have tii-0(1 otr a hriwe of piqthis. trail Lu ti4ve u,vii iy stoiica to WC mob.
