SHAND LOW, HENRY BEAUMONT,I Scrutineers. JOHN CLIPPERTON, CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL • RAILWAY. • REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. The Bill introduced by the Government for facilitating the dubs hltiou of Railway Companies having passed the Legislature, the Cosn - Rlittee have called the present meeting of the Shareholders inenider xo submit to them the question of proceeding with or discontinuing This Undertaking. In doing so, they wish to lay before the Shareholders a statement • Or the actual position and prospects of the Company as affected by t he recent. roceedings in Parliament. • The principle of an independent central line from London by the 'London and South Western Railway, through Salisbury, Yeovil, and i xeter, to Falmouth, has re ce i ve d the Wiest recognition from' kith ranches of the Legislature. It is true that the bills bctween R alisbery and Yeovil have been postponed until next session by the V oMmittee of the House of Lords, chiefly on account of their pp iaed interference st ith the property of au influential nobleman, but This postponement has been accomp a ni e d no t on l y b y t h e sanction tttf the line between Basingstoke and Salisbury, but by such an ex heft declaration in favour of a ce n tr a l line front Salisbury through even to Exeter, as must insure the success in a future session o. an * PPlication for the latter line. As regards the scheme between Yeovil and Exeter, the Share -seilders may be reminded that their was a competing line promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, arid that it was rejected "her a nest protracted and severe contest by the Cointnittee of the ilouse of Commons, which sanctioned the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor chester N otwithstanding the disadvantage under which the Central Corb- Company laboured front being unable to present their project its a tq lbstantial scheme before the Committee which sat on the Coast Cornwall and West Cornwall lints, the merits of a central commu nication are so fully established, that these lines were only sanctioned Under conditions which virtually ensure the success of a Central Cornwall and Devon Railway, if brought forward next session. • The Committee of the House of Commons on the Cornwall Bill amended its Preamble by striking out so much as related to the traneh to Launceston, and reported to the House that they had doee so because they thought it expedient to leave open the whole guestion of any central communication through the county of Corn • Wall for further consideration. The Lords' Committee on the same Bill also adopted a similar re *Caution. In addition to this the Committees on botk these Bills stipulated, by the insertion of clauses, that the narrow gauge should be laid down, under the direction of the Board of Trade, upon the lines they sanctioned between Truro and Falmouth and Truro and Pen - tt:e, in order to effect a junction at Truro with the narrow gauge 1r brought through the centre of the county. F urther, the Committee in the Commons rej ec t e d th e S outh theJ` r Extension Bill from Plymouth to Tavistock, on the opp os i t i on eerier Extension upon the ground that the passing of that Bill might in e with the future central communication. t , ` 4 r• the whole, therefore, it is apparent, from the result of the pro „itslings which have taken place in Parliament during the present %salon, that the success of a Central Cornwall and Devon Railway ltext session, in conjunction with an extension of the London and So uth-Western Railway from Salisbury to Exeter is nearly certain. This being so, the question which this Committee have had to consider is this :—Whether it is desirable for the interests of the !! ili treholdersi under these circumstances that this Company should ' 4 "W be dissolved. After careful consideration, they have arrrivedunanimou,ly a t th e mo nclusion, that the interests of the shareholders will be best con sulted by keeping the Company together. Your Committee are s atisfied that this will be the best course for. the pecuniary interests clthe Shareholders, which must, of course, be their principal object : 411,1 when they consider the character of the scheme, the importance "'the great trunk line of communication with the west of England, 1111e1 the assured support of .the South-Western Company, they feel t h at it would be highly unadvisable to do anything pr e j u di c i a l to the 60 t14 which has been obtained. l'he agreement with the South-Western Company was framed so • to endure for two sessions, and there can be no better proof of the 'coltidence felt by the Directors of that Company in the uliimute sue. e css Of your undertaking than is afforded by the known disposition ~0 1 that board, to reccommend to their proprietors to incre4se by a Quarter of a million the present subscription (of 750,0001.) for pro : s7-..eter,2ting, in a future session, the formation of such lines west of as (including all the main features of your eiderprise), shall. .7 11 full consideration of the subject with reference to the events of the ' r esent session, be thought the most desirable and comprehensive. t T he confidence of the counties of Cornwall and Devon in the MU ate succeseof the substantial features of the scheme they trove so advanced and their determination to continue their support to a ' e Lltral Cornwall and Devon Railway,4a. der these circumstances, this Commit sn tee tinue have no hesitation in C'un on ilending toe Shareholders nut at present to dissolve the 'l o 4)any, " this recommendation should be adopted, It will,. of course, be 1 7 4 , all Y-itnprircticable to. carry out the plan proposed_444k report 9f 2 5th ut April, for a temporary return of a portion of the deposits, 3" lit if practicable, would at this late period of the year be un case the Company is to proceed in the next session. aft, e „DroPrietora cannot be surprised that at this very early period as w e ,,'` e lecisions In Parliament, affecting your interest east as well the Exeter, your Committee are unprepared to state in detail have, 17,edings they would recommend in the next session. 1 hey Railway measures""r". already briefly entered upon the consideration of with the Directors ofthe London and South-Western Company and of the Companies promoting the lines east of ,7 1 er, and although unprepared for various reabons to state specific they have nu hesitation in declaring their lull conviction that Measures will he renewed. in the next session for accomplishing yet more fully and completely all that has been sought in Inc present l 'eSSion, as regards your more immediate part in them.

Proposal by the Earl of Wicircow ; seconded by the Bishop of NORWICH, " I hit ample evidence has been afforded that Temperance, while improving the habits of the Irish peasantry, and advancing their social anti moral condition, essentially aids in preventing disaffection and crime—no prosecution ter outrage having been instituted against any member of a Temperance Society." Proposed by the Marquis of SLIGO; seconded by Lord CAMOYS,. " That applications for subscriptions to the Fund be made to Eng glish Noblemen and Gentlemen possessed of property in Ireland, setting forth the benefits which have resulted to the Irish people from the labours of the Rev. Mr. Mathew, and the advantages thus . rendered to Irish landlords by int ro d uc i ng comparative prosperity and tranquillity into their localities."

Mr. Mathew, wider the control of four members of theCominittee, the Treasurer, and the Honorary Secretaries." Proposed by the Earl of ARUNDEL and &mar; seconded by JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., 51.1'., " That the various Temperance Societies throughout the kingdom be applied to for co-operation and aid, less with reference to the amount of assistance thus anticipated, than as eviOetice of sympathy with the cause, and affection towards the Irish people."

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health,and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

MR.O'CONNELL'S REPLY TO THE HON. C. LAWLESS. British Hotel, Jermyn-street, July 28, 1846.. My dear Sir,—Meaning you, of course, no kind of dis respect, yet I cannot avoid saying that I was sincerely sorry at receiving your letter of the 18th instant. lam still more sorry that you thought it right to publish that letter, be cause it necessarily imposes upon me the painful act of a public reply. You are—it need not be said—entitled to every kind of courtesy in manner and in expression, as well as in substance. Nobody can he less inclined than- I am to stint or limit that courtesy , but I am bound to tell you the whole truth, and not conceal from you any of the sentiments, however grievous to me, that your letter has excited. Addressing you, therefore, with entire civility. and. at the same time, with perfect candour, I am reduced to the un pleasant necessity of telling you that your letter fills me with anxious fears that Ireland has little to expect from any exertion of yours. I say this, because in bitter sorrow I perceive how trivial the pretext is upon which you decline joining in the struggle for Irish nationality. Yet how glorious is that cause—how glorious is the strug gle for elevating one's native land front provincial degrada tion to legislative independence ! Ireland once had a Parliament of her own. The unsuspi cious testimony of the late Lord Clare, and of Mr. Pitt, prove the extent and rapidity of the improvement of Ireland from the period of the independence of her Parliament until the fatal day of the Union. Ireland was deprived of that Parliament by the foulest means by which liberty was ever struck down—fraud and corruption, and brute force. How is it possible that .you cannot discover the indignity offered to your nati ve land, and to yourself personally, by the practical assertion, as a matter of fact, that Englishmen and Scotchmen are fitter to legislate for Ireland than are the Irish to make laws for themselves? Let me now bring you to the pretext under which you de cline to join us. Your words are : "Lord Milltown suggested the formation of an Irish party to assist the Ministry, if willing to do justice to Ireland. You state in your reply that the repeaters are determined to do so. This, my dear sir, is the very point I should wish to see proved, for a doubt of this has alone prevented my joining the Association." Thus, y ou refuse t o j o i n th e A ssoc i a ti on b ecause you doubt whether and my fellow-repealers are determined to assist the Ministry in doing justice to Ireland. How can you doubt. it? I, who take a leading part in the Association, stated that fact to you as one within my own knowledge, and one that 1 was, and ant, perfectly ready to realise by my conduct. I am here to assist the Ministry in doing justice to Ireland. Every other repeal Member who shall be elected must avow his readiness to attend, to assist the Ministry in doing justice to Ireland. It is not possible, I think, for any man reason ably to doubt the sincerity with which we repealers declare and exhibit our determination to assist the present Ministry to do justice to Ireland. Upon your own showing, therefore, we, are entitled to your joining us immediately. But you have an excuse —you allege a fact—you refuse to join the Association for the following reason :—You allege that Mr. Sheil is a man of powerful talent—a statement which everybody must admit—you allege that it was with difficulty that I prevented his being opposed in his election for Dungarvan. Such Is your excuse for riot being a ntembd-of the Asso ciation. I mean no disrespect whatsoever when I say, there never was a more futile excuse fur neglecting a great national duty. In the first place, let us dispose of the fact, and that the mere readily because it is infinitely more strong in favour of your excuse than your own statement—the truth being that went to Ireland. net to prevent Mr. Shell being opposed in his election, but to assist in having him opposed by a re pealer—if he could be so opposed with a reasonable prospect of success. Take the dates. On Friday the writ for Dungarvan was moved for; on Saturday I started for Liverpool, and on Sun day night went across to attend the Association on Monday, at one o'clock. Monday came, and I attended the Association, but no in t4matiou reached us during the day, of any movement in Dungarvan, or of any candidate in the repeal interest. I therefore moved that the matter should be referred to the committee. Tuesday came, and for the first time we had a communica tion from Dungarvan, stating that the election was to take place the ensuing Saturday, leaving only an interval et three days, and also infrming me that the repeaters of Dun garvan were divided. many of them being of opinion. that there ought not to be a contest with so little time to pre pare; and several repealers—among whom were some of the most influential —having already promised to the agent of Mr. Shell their votes for that election. Thursday—the committee-day—arrived, and there was no further information about Dungarvan. We of the committee examined strictly and minutely the list of the voters of Dungarvan, and we were of opinion, with the exception of one or two, that there was not the least prospect of success , which was to take fpulallcyeotphpeonsienxgt day Mr.S b h u e t i o l n a e t . the election Some few there were who thought that Dungarvan ought to be contested at all events, even with the certainty of de feat. The majority of the committee were of opinion, as so was I, that such a course would be vexatious and unbe coming, and it was not adopted. Thus, therefore, if there be anything in your argument, it is strengthened, not weakened, by the determination of the repealers—a determination which I coincide in, to sub stitute a repealer for Mr. Shell, if that were practicable. Its impracticability is manifest, there being from the time the committee met but one day between us and the election. Thus I meet your excuse in front. I take the bull by the horns. I admit that all the repeaters desire to have' a re pealer returned for Dungarvan instead of Mr. Sheil. Now, I do most respectfully implore of you to consider the amount of the objection which you raised against joining the national cause. It is just this—because the repeaters should prefer a repealer to Mr. Shell as a Member for Dungarvan. Recollect, also, I pray you, - that if a repealer had been re turned in Mr. Shell's place, that repealer would also join with me in assisting the Government (just what you desire) to do justice to Ireland. I know full: well how little chance there is to convince a public man by a public letter; and yet I do not see how you can resist joining the Association, at least without abandon ing your professed principle of action. You say you would join the Association if we were ready to assist the Government in doing justice to Ireland. We are ready—most ready to assist the Government in that great work. Why do you not at once determine to assist us?

Ponzsmorrif, JULY 31.—The Monarch, 1,400 tons, Cap tain Walker, one of the splendid fleet of Mr. Given, of Black wall, will sail this evening or to-morrow morning at day light for Calcutta direct. 'lbis beautiful frigate (pierced tor . 50 guns, which we have no doubt she could carry and tight, tar better than many 50-gun frigates on the navy list) was at Spithead when the Experimental Squadron was assembled there last 'year, and the royal yacht, with her Majesty on board,e earned round her. She looks an admirable compa-- • nion for . the Constance, 50, Captain Sir B. Walker, although the latter is 726 tons longer in build! A mistake appears to have been made with regard to the proposed immersian of her Majesty's brig Contest, 12, Com mander M'Murdo. This vessel was built at Cowes by Mr. White, and was understood to be a sister vessel to the Daring. She is a remarkably handsome vessel, and will unquestion ably sail well, but she does not resemble the Daring. Her hull is much more like that of the Waterwitch, but the stand ing and rake of her masts are very different from either. The masts rake very little, and the foremast stands much more forward than the Daring's, which had an unsightly appearance, and caused the necessity of putting goring cloths in the fore course, to enable the fore tack to be hauled out to the bumpkin. However, all this has nothing to do with the mistake. After being commissioned six weeks it has been discovered that she has jmmersed nearly all her copper, although she is not complete in her stores and provisions, and has not yet taken her crew aboard. It has consequently been found requisite to haul her away from her bulk, and put another streak of copper all round her, and this has been completed to day. - The Naiad a .an old 424 was docked last evening, to be fitted as a depot for coals for steam-vessels, to lie at Calla:). This has been for a long time a desideratum, and will cause a considerable saving both of tines and expene. The Neptune, 120, was undocked to make room for her, but could act begot out of the basin owing to the neaping of the tides. The Emerald tender sailed last night with supernumeraries for Plymouth. The Netley tender arrived with men from Plymouth for the Constance and Eurydice this morning. The crew of the Eurydice, 26, Captain George Elliot, were paid two month;' wages in advance yesterday. The Constance, 50, is still short of a few hands, but it is expected will be completed to-day by a draught from London. In Harbour—Excellent, Victory, Contest; Comet, and Echo steamers; Seaflower and Netley cutters. At Spithead—Constance and Eurydice; Monarch East Indianian. In Dock—Prince Regent, Naiad, Cambrian, Leander, Rifleman, and Rattlesnake. hi the Basin—Neptune, Edinburgh, Trincomalee, and Amphitrite. The Quail lighter from Pembroke-yard arrived this morning. P.oirramotrra, SUNDAY.—The Athol troop-ship, Master 'Commander Yearn, arrived this morning at Spithead, from the West Indies, with military invalids from the regiments serving on that 'station. She left Halifax on the 23,i efJunc, and Bermuda on the 11th The Constance, 50, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, and the Eurydice, 26, Captain George Elliot, sailed this morning for Plymouth. They weighed about eleven o'clock, the Con stance first., and stood out under royals and flying jib. There was a steady working breeze from S.S. W. The Eurydice soon gave her stern to her larger competitor, and maintained the lead in the race (which bad evidently been agreed upon) so long as we could follow them from the shore. They join the Channel fleet under Sir William Parker. The Contest, 12, Commander M'Murdo, bent sails, and took on board her officers and crew from the hulk on Friday evening. • The Goodwill, navy lighter, sailed on Friday evening, with stores for Devonport Dockyard. The Netley, tender, sailed for Devonport with supernume— reties, on Friday evening. APPOIN/MEITS. Lieutenants--J. Adamson, to the Caledonia; T. H. Moly neux' to the Spartan ; E. W.

She is expected to sail in the beginning of next week. The Trident steam-packet. Lieutenant Rigge, commander, is nearly ready; her rigging is complete, and she is now being painted. She is provided on board with provisions and water for two months, and goes out of dock on Wednesday next, when she will take in her coals, and will sail for Trieste about the 18th of next month, to be there on the Ist of September, ready for the mail. She calls in at Gibraltar and Malta. Mr. G. A. Stabb, second master; Mr. D. P. Macnamara, clerk in charge; and Mr. T. Tait, assistant surgeon, have joined her.

THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. A MARINE SENTENCED TO BE HANGED.-011 Wednes day morning the ships of the fleet sailed out of Cove Har bour for a two-months' cruise, as stated in our last. Previ-us to their departure, a court-martial was held on board the Queen for the trial of a private of Marines, named • James Sayer, on three charges, viz. :—For assaulting Sergeant Connor, his superior officer; fur assaulting Sergeant Smith, his superior officer; and for assaulting Corporal Webby. The Cuurt consisted of Admiral Pigott, president; Commodores Collier and Bremmer, and tile captains of the several ships of war and steamers constituting the squadron. It appeared in evidence that the pri soner, a fine looking man twenty-six years of age, had come on board in a disorderly manner, after parting with some of his necessaries on shore, and was ordered to be put in irons. Sergeant Connor then requested him to go down quietly, on which he turned round and struck him ; Ser geant Connor then sent for a guard, and he was forced down into the fore cockpit, when he struck Sergeant Smith. He was then thrown down to be ironed, and was laid hold of by Corporal Webby, when he sai4 that he would not be transported for nothing, and turning round, struck the corporal. They all swore that the prisoner was not drunk at the time, and that all the blows he gave were in tentional. The wretched man had nothing to offer in his defence, but to say that he was sorry for what had happened, and to throw himself on the mercy of the Court. The Court having been cleared, the members remained in deliberation tor an hour, when on its being again opened, The Judge-Advocate rase amids the most death-like silence, th6ugh the Court-room was filled with officers, sea men, and marines, and said, "Does it please the Court I hould read the sentence upon the prisoner?" President (much affected)—lt does. The Judge-Advocate then read the document, which con• tained the charges, the names of the officers comprising the court, and of the several witnesses, and which went on to state that the Court, having well and maturelyconsidered the evidence, declared the first and second charges proved, and that the third was not proved, and adjudged that Private James Sayer be hanged from the neck from one of her Ma jesty's vessels, at such time, and on board such vessel, as the Lords of the Admiralty should direct. President—James Sayer, I am sorry, indeed, that I cannot offer you hope that the sentence of this Court will not be carried out, and I recommend you to prepare yourself to meet your doom. The court is dissolved. The prisoner was then removed in custody of the Provost Marshal. It is said that within a very short time the unfor tunate prisoner has been twice whipped, and has undergone all other modes of punishment known in the royal navy.— Cork Reporter. DEATH OF THE CUNT DE ST. LEU.—A letter from Leghoni, of the 25th ult., announces as follows the death of the ex iling of llolland, father of Prince Louis :—•'Count de Nt. Les, Prince Louis Buonaparte, died here this day of a fit of apoplexy. with which he was attackud yesterday. From the moment of the attack he re mained in a complete state of lethargy, and expired this morning without a struggle. He was in the sixty-eighth year of his age. The Prince had been paralytic for several years, and lived a very retired life. lie kept himset entirely fee from all political intrigues, and supported all the vicissitudes of fortune with a rare resignation and dignity. lie had no one with him at the moment of his death but a young man, whom he had brought up, and who never quitted him. An express was immediately .sent oil to Florence with the news for his brother the Prince de Montfort, the ex• King of West phalia, aged 62, who is the last survivor of all Napoleon's brothers. The deceased Prince has lett but a very small fortune, not exceeding, it is believed, 50,000 or 60,000 francs a-year. By his will he expresses a wish to be buried at St. Leu, in Prance. This with will be executed as sows as the body can be embalmed." FwiTPATHS STOPPED BY A RAILWAY.—On Saturday an investigation took place b.fore the magistrates at Richmond, rela tive to an alleged i;fring , ment of private and public rights by the Richmond Railway Company. Mr. Spence, an inhabitant of Mort talc , Oa , the company hid erected a wooden bridge, with high steps to it, leading to the chunb, which bridge was a nuisance to every one, but was particularly unpleasant to ladies, from the.ab senee of side-boards, or bannisters. He also said the old road hail been fenced, and made private property. Several other inhabitants complained 01 the infringement. which, they stated, kept ;hem from entering their own property in the manner they had been accustomed to. The chairman said he was sorry he could not interfere, as the. Railway Act was worded in a particular manner, Net-he glou ht they might get red.-re l qa6 of t. § 11 e 410 ; ()VOW flay WQ1.14 OAF giOlaP 4 4l,. _ • _ In pursuing the inquiry committed to their charge, your Committee have found it their first duty to go into the matterof the several petitions referred to them, corn plaining of abuses in the way of objecting to country voters alleged to have been vexatiously raised by the Anti-Corn-law League ; and for this purpose they have examined, besides several gentlemen who have acted as revising banisters, parties connected, on the one band, with the counties from which the petitions emanated, to substantiate the alleged grievance, and, on the other hand, with the Anti- Corn-law League, to explain the pro • ceedings complained of, their object, and the results. They have also gone, though with less fullness, into the other branch of the inquiry committed to them ; viz. the facilities for making fraudulent claims, which the present system of registration may be supposed to afford ; and on this head, perhaps, it will be convenient at once to bring forward the few observations which your Committee have to offer. There is no doubt that, according to the law as it now stands, facilities do exist for creating votes, by a system of granting rent charges to the amount of 405., and of splitting up property into small freeholds of that value ; and such facilities have been taken advantage of by dif ferent parties, at different times, and in different degt ees, for the purpose of increasing electoral influence through the means of individuals so put upon the register. In many cast s, these new electors are in no other way con nected with the. respective counties, and in some in stances, as in the case of rent-charges, they bear no share in the county burdens. It is held by the Courts that such divisions of pro perty, although made for the express purpose of multi pl) ing voices in elections, are nut within the meaning of the 7th and Bth William 111., c. 25, commonly called the Splitting Act ; but that a " conve) mice made in comple tion of a bona fide contract of sale, where the money passes from the buyer to the seller, arid the possession also from the seller to the buyer, and where there is no secret reservation on trust on the part of the seller, is not avoided by reason of the object or motive of the pur chaser and selhr being to multiply voices at an election." In consequence of this decision, it has been suggested to your Committee, that it would be desirable to check the practice of splitting up tenements into many qualifica tions, which has, during the last two years, acquired a mew extension, either by bringing it within the provisions of the Act of 11, illiam 111. , or by raising the qualification out of rent charges and freeholds, where the holder is not resident within the county or division of the county of which he claims to vote, from 40s. to 101. On this latter suggestion, being rather a question of general policy than properly belonging to the province of your Com mittee, they forbear from offering an opinion ; on the former a recommendation will be found in No. 2 of the Seggestions at the end of the report. Before, however, they quit this subject, they feel called upon to state, after a full investigation of the facts, that in the case of the numerous small freeholds of this nature which have been recently created under the influence-of the Anti- Corn-law League, they have no reason to believe (although the freeholds were acquired avowedly for the purpose of obtaining votes for a particular object) that they have been paid for otherwise than out of the funds of the purchasers themselves. The League have, ho w ever, contributed to this object, by affording, in many cases, the assistance of their agents to facilitate the ne gotiations and purchases ; for which purpose, also, the sums paid bp persons desiring qualifications in various counties have been - colleCted into accounts with certain bankers to the credit of certain agents of the Anti- Corn-law League. With regard to the power of making objections, which has mainly occupied the attention of your Committee, they think it will be convenient first to state the change which has been made in the law upon that subject by the recent Act for " Amending the Registration of Voters." Under the Reform Act the objector was to give notice of his objection to the person objected to, or he was to leave it at his place of abode, as described in the list, or he was t o d e li ver i t p'rsona lly to the tenant in occupation of the premises. Under the present Act (6 and 7 Vict. c. 12.) the objector is to give the notice of objection to the person objected to, or he is to leave it at his place of abode, as described by the list ; and when ever his place of abode is not in the parish or township to which such list relates, he is also to give or leave a duplicate notice at the residence of the occupying tenant. The most material alteration, however, made by the re• cent Act is, that the production of a duplicate, stamped by the postmaster, of the notice of any of these objec tions, is made conclusive evidence of the service of the notice. An alleged abuse arising out of this new facility of proving the service of objections, is one of the principal grounds of complaint. It is alleged that, taking ad vantage of this provision, the agents of the Anti , Corn law League posted at Manchester on the 22d, 23d, and 24th of August last, but mostly on the 24th, the last day permitted by the law, many thousand notices of objection (the Postmaster at Manchester states them, including duplicate notices to overseers and occupying tenants, at upwards of 23,000), principally directed against voters for North Warwickshire, North and South Cheshire, North Staffordshire, South Lancaster, East Gloucestershire and Buckinghamshire ; so late, and in such numbers, that the Postmaster was not able to dispatch them for several days suc cessively ; and that a very large proportion of such notices consequently did not reach their desti nation till long after the time contemplated by the law—in some cases after the day appointed by the Act for the overseers to notify publicly the objections made. It is alleged that these notices were in a very large pro portion, directed against persons of undoubted qualifica tion, men of large property in houses and land within the respective districts, tenants of large farms, and other persons of that description, on the chance, as they ima gine, of such parties, or some of them, not appearing to defend, and thus losing their votes ; that in fact a large number of unquestionable votes was thus struck off for want of such appearance, the parties objected to being in many cases prevented from attending by remoteness of residence, illness, business, unwillingness to lose their time, or, as in some cases, on the conviction that the notices which had been delivered be yond the time appointed by the law were informal ; and it is also stated that a very small proportion of such objections proved on examination to be valid ; while the redress intended to be provided for such cases by the late Registration Act, in the power conferred on revising barristers to award costs, was withheld or re fused, except in a few instances; either because the ob jector having failed to sustain one obkction, declined to attempt to sustain any more, and was thus enabled, Sc. cording to the interpfetation put upon the Act, to with draw himself altogether from liabitity to costs, or else because some trifling amendment in the description was required in the opinion of the revising barrister; and that by reason of a rule generally laid down by revising barristers, that no costs shall ever be allowed when an amendment, however trifling, is admitted in the descrip tion, the claimant was in such cases precluded from ob taining compensation for his loss of time or the trouble imposed on him in sustaining his vote. Complaint is further made, that the agents of the League, in most cases, did not even attempt to sustain a serious objection, but confined themselves to raising some trifling objection as to the description, to shield them selves from costs, and it is also stated that, in the cases of South Cheshire and North Warwickshire, persons were selected as objectors, who, having notices so numerous to sign in so short a time that they could not get through them themselves, delegated that task, to a great extent, to others, who signed their names for them, and thus created many invalid notices ; the invalidity of which, when established, was held to be a reason for not giving costs to the voter who appeared to answer them, though, if he had not appeared, he world have lost his vote for non-appearance. Now, on this statement, th e ma i n po i nts, w hi c h appear to be disputed by the other party, are not as to the number of objections served, nor that a large proportion of them were served on parties of undoubted qualifica tions. The numbers stated by the chairman of the League, when analysed, will be found to vary in no material degree from those of the complainants. The main difference is in the proportion claimed as suc cessful, and in the inference to be consequently drawn from such proportion, as to the vexatious of justifiable use which shall be held to have been made by the League of the opportunities of objection offered by the law. On this point the conclusions drawn by the respective parties do materially differ ; and on neither side is such evidence adduced as can lead to a very accurate conclusion. The details of what takes place in the revising barristers' courts are not matter of official record, and the best information to be gained re specting them is, in most cases, derived from im perfect recollection, or from the notes of the contending parties taken hastily on the spot, and communicated, possibly with some exaggl ration, to the party papers in the respective counties. Besides which, a different esti mate of success will always be taken as an evidence of justification by different contending parties. The Chairman of the League claims on his side as suc cessful all ojections which terminated either in amending the description of a vote or in expunging a name ; whether, in the latter case, the name was expunged upon an investigation of the qualifications, or by reason of the non-appearance of the voter ; whether the name had been already struck out, or the description amended, at the instance of the overseer, or whether the alteration was solely due to the interposition of the League. WI the other hand, the complainants admit to the credit of the League only those cases in which a really bad vote was struck off upon the hearing of the case, and where, but for the interference of the agent of the League, the vote would not have been struck off.

Your Committee wish, however, further to state their opinion, although they are not prepared to o - ffer any sp..cific suggestion for the purpose, that, without alto gether depriving claimants or objects rs of their respec tive rights as now enjoyed, it would be very d. sirabla to render the registration a matter of official duty ono the part of respon,ible and competent officers, to be eiluploS ed in forming and cortectingcounty registers. They cannot conclude without submitting to the House that that the present mode of remuner a ting revising ham appears to have led to or induced a greater hurry of business than is quite compatible with that minute and deliberate investigation which is necessary to ensure as much as possible a complete . and clear and accura*a register. and that some alteratto.l in the prescnn system. of remunerating these officers would be desirable. PROTESTANTISM IN POLAI D. Count Valer:an Krasins4 in continuation of his second lecture at rooms, on Saturday last, reviewed the history of Protestantism from the time when the successor of Stephen Baton. Sigislanid 111., ascended the throne in 1586, glancing occasionally at the political events as they happened more or less to affect the subject under discussion, and adverting transitorily to the literary States of the na tion. Sigismund Vasa, the son of the Bing ef Sweden. and descended from the Jayellon dynasty, by his mether, the sister of Sigismund Augustus, entered upon a reign of forty years' duration, hailed by Pole Sextus V. as the man of all others the most likely to extirpate heresy from • Poland; and his measures, as far as their effect can be gauged by the character of the Senate, entirely fulfilled the augur ist the Pontiff; for that body which, in 1572, contained but two or three Roman Catholics, at his death numbered nearly as many Protestants. His policy was never to center the offices of state, and never to bestow the crown lands, ex cept on those of the favourite sect. 'nip comparative efficiency of this mode of conversion to Rome among the Polish no led the lecturer to parallel this period in his nation's history with t he times of James 11. of England. when Dryden, and many of less note with pottet ity, were induced to adopt the religion of the court ; an identhy or etr.:(l. he said in circumstances less creditable to Eegleed, for the, e he peer age was hereditary, which in Pelee(' depended on the pleasure if the court. Discontent. and civil w s:on fol lowed. In 1591 a riot broke out at Cracow, and the Protes tant church was burned to the ground. De Thou ascribes this to the instigation of the Jesuits, but the Roman Catholic writers say that it originated in a Scotch congregation, who, beginning to dispute upon matters of leith.ended with blows. The Jesuits wire then in possession of about 1,0 colleges and schools, and an annual income of 100,000/. The Eastern Church numbered within her pale the vast 1 °iflation if the south-eastern provinces of Poland. Several attempts to bring them under the dominion of Rome utterly failed. bat continuing in their own faith, they were among the most loyal subjects of the Polish Crown. The civil power of the magiterate, which suffered during the reign of Sigismund 111., a weak king, never re• covered that authority under his successors wh;ch could enable it to give effect to the measures of good government, or to defend the rights of the citizens against the encroach ment or the insult of party; consequently, the weak were under the necessity of yislding to the strong, and the ad herents of Rome wielded their power with a harsh hand over the diminished numbers of the Protestants.
