ECUADOR.- The position of General Flores as President of Ecua dor has been set forth very fully in a printed paper cir culated in the City, and signed " Equatoriano." The paper is manifestly on the side of the President, but we do not hesitate to give a pretty long abridgment of its contents, since detailed news from Ecuador is a scarce commodity, and a grtwing interest is felt in the pro gress of the third Colombian republic, if we may judge from the operati ons on t h e Stock Exchange. A mong other omis s i ons ma d e i n the abridgment are the ratifi cations of both treaties, which of course are merely formal : " In March last year an insurrection broke out in Guayaquil, the port of a province of Ecuador on the Pacific ;_ it was headed by a s h o pk ee p er named Senor Zambo Roca. Roca being convicted of seditious acts, had been ordered out of the country by the sentence of the proper tribunal, but with the aid of a large sum of money contrived to corrupt a company of artillery quar tered at Gu a y aqu il, on t h e eve o f hi s ex p u l s i on b e i ng carried into e ff ec t. Wh at i s ca ll e d a pronunc i am ii nto followed, throwing off obedience to the Government, and declaring the province independent. " The President, General Flores (who had been elected President for eight years in 1843, by the unanimous suffrages of the people), sent down from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, a few troops to quell the insurrection, but it being the winter or rainy season, they could not get into the town, the adjacent country about Guaya quil being flooded for many leagues during the months of February to July. The rebels had seized upon all the canoes and boats on the river, so that there was no getting at them by this channel ; the troops of the Go vernment, therefore, went into cantonments at the El vire, an estate of the President's, situate at the head of the river, there to await until the subsiding of the waters should permit of access to the town. " The rebels, in the mean time, pressed the people into their ranks, and emboldened by the delay of the Government force, ventured up the river in boats to attack them before they should be reinforced ; they were miserably beaten, and some hundreds who landed were thrust back into the river at the point of the bayonet and drowned. They came up a second time, and were again repulsed with great slaughter. The President, ever generous and humane, did not witness unmoved this destruction of the passive and ignorant people, over whose welfare he had ever been a vigilant guardian, by whom he was adored, and whose prosperity he would have secured by the most enlightened mea sures, had he not been constantly thwarted in his views by the seditious conspiracies of this same truculent in cendiary, Roca, and a few others of the same blighted and broken reputation, who found in the indolent action of the laws, and weakness of the executive power, time to carry out their insurrectionary plans with impunity. Thus in the year 1843, President Flores having asked and obtained from the Congress of that year* power to levy a small tax on the people (the people of Ecuador pay no taxes), in order to secure a positive amount of money to be solely and exclusively appropriated to the payment of interest to the British bondholders, and to restore by this means some portion of the lost credit of the country, Mr. Zambo Roca raised the standard of revolt and rebellion against the decree of the Congress and the measures of the Govern ment for carrying that decree into effect, and in this manner was retarded a settlement with the foreign creditors notwithstanding the anxious desire of the Pre sident to do them justice, and at the sa me ti me t o re lease the cou n t r y f rom the stigma of dishonesty and in gratitude which still continues to disgrace it. The late law of public credit established by Roca will convince the bondholders of what they have to expect from such a tyro. To return to the rebels of Guayaquil; I shall briefly state that the President, although at the head of an army firmly devoted to him, and officered by his ancient comrades, the veterans of Bolivar, resolved to spare the effusion of blood in a civil contest which had no other foundation that the predatory views of Roca and the gang of smugglers by whom he was surrounded and supported. The President, moreover, was not unwilling that the people of Guayaquil should see their leaders in their true colours, when his own influence in the country could not be felt or misinterpreted. He therefore de sired that respectable persons of Guayaquil should be selected to enter into a treaty or convention which should put an end to the contest, and at the same time enable him to indulge his long cherished desire of visit ing Europe. However magnanimous or humane the policy of this step, it has been much blamed by the other provinces of Ecuador, whose inhabitants as well as the main body of the Government forces, only re ceived and only consented to a treaty with the rebels in obedience to the wishes of the President. The following is a copy of that treaty, and the President's proclama tion upon his departure for Europe:— stitutional periods in which the popular magistracy has been confided to me. "If ray words have still any merit in your eyes, I entreat and pray you to preierve, at any risk, the inte grity and union of the Republic ; that on our country's altar you deposit that hatrel which begets revolutions, and that all disagreements ter minate amongst you with " Elvira E s t a t e, J une 22 a fraternal an d f r i endly embrace. , " 1 J 8 U 45 A .,, N JOSE FLORES. the chimney. lie requested his brother to go to the room and bring away the money, in order that he might not lose it, and that, being found, it might not be evi dence against him. The brother refused, but impru dently mentioned the circumstance to the wife and mother-in-law of the prisoner, who went to tho room and carried off the money. They would probably have escaped detection, as Langloi, who had been informed by his brother of what they had done, would not have mentioned the circumstance to the authorities but for the conduct of his wife, who whilst he was in prison led a life of dissipation, and when applied to for as sistance to procure him a few comforts sent him one franc. When the apartment in which the wife and her mother lived was searched there was found a quantity of linen, jewellery, &c., which they had pur chased with the proceeds of the robbery, and 300 francs in gold. It was ascertained that the mother, who first visited the room in the Rue du Four, had cheated her daughter by abstracting nearly 1,000 francs from the amount concealed by Langlois. As the evidence of their guilt was so strong that denial was useless, they made a confession, and threw themselves upon the mercy of the Court, the mother pleading for indulgence for her daughter, who, she said, took no part in the robbery, although she admitted that she subsequently partook of the spoil, and the daughter imploring in dulgence for her mother on the ground of her having three younger children entirely dependent upon her for support. Langlois himself appeared as a witness against the prisoners, and was very severe in his remarks upon his wife ; her profligate conduct with other men, and the wretched pittance that she had sent him in prison, hav ing rendered him furious against her, The jury found both the women guilty. The Court, in its discretion, lowered the punishment two degrees in favour of the mother, who was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and inflicted the minimum punishment, two years' im prisonment on the daughter. The mother heard her sentence without betraying any emotion, but the wife fainted, and on her recovery uttered piercing cries. The other children of the mother, who were in court during the trial, were removed crying bitterly.— Galignani's Messenger. From TILE NEW TERRACE PIER, GRAVESEND.

KENTISH, Mayor. .dly had General Flores left the country, when Roca and his gang commenced a series of persecu tions against the supporters of the Government which yet endure. Several of the principal proprietors were banished the troops faithful to the Government were disbanded, the chiefs and officers driven from the country one ley one, on frivolous and vexatious pre texts; General Otamendi, a veteran officer, highly distin guished, perfidiously assassinated under circumstances of revolting cruelty, in the presence of his wife and children; private property seized and pillaged ; the civil servants of the Government deprived of their offices, and these filled by the myrmidons of Roca taken from the lower classes ; in a word, every species of tyranny and persecution was practised against all who were not will ing to disgrace themselves by becoming his obsequious instruments. In this manner was fulfilled the treaty of Elvira. In utter disregard of the customs of civilised beings, and of the disastrous consequences of such bar- barism, not only did Roca break every article of that treaty by his atrocious persecution of the loyal sup porters of the Government, but he also, by the public act of a meeting assembled, ad hoc, in December follow ing, (last December), annulled th at treaty formally, and had - himself named President of the State. The insane assemblage which declared that treaty null and void could do no more to destroy their own pretensions to legality. By this act General Flores is released from all and every obligation he had contracted by that treaty. He re-assumes his position as the constitutional Presi dent of Ecuador, and with it all the obligations annexed to that office. He is bound by every moral and poli tical principle to suppress the barbarous faction that oppresses and disgraces the country which he himself called into political existence. This alone is the object ; he has in view ; the neighbouring states have nothing to ' apprehend from President Flores, the whole tenour of whose prive and public life affords ample guarantees for ] the future."—Tkes.

The deceased, during the interval of Lord William Bentinck's leaving India, and the arrival of Lord Auckland, namely, Feb. 3, 1835, to March 28, 1836, was provisionally appointed Governor-General, and in that short space he introduced, amongst other measures, the issue of one uniform currency throughout the presidencies, and also secured to the press a freedom from all restrictions. In commemoration of his acknow ledged services, a statue was raised at Agra by public subscription, and a magnificent piece of plate presented to him. At this period, he had conferred upon hies the civil Order of Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. He left the Company's service in the month of February, 1835.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Brabant, the Count de Flanders, the Prinee ss Charlotte, and their attenda n t s , l e f t Lacken this morn ing, about six o'clock, for Paris. At the southern terminus they took their seats in the royal carriage in which they were to proceed to St. Cloud, where the royal family of France are at present residing. The following confirms the intelligence which we gave yesterday of a meeting of the manufacturers of Ghent, for the purpose of maintaining a moderate protection in favour of national manufacture. The cotton manufacturers of Ghent, at a meeting which took place the day before yesterday, appointed a committee to make a report on the several questions which the society of the partisans of a free trade has just proposed. The new entrepot of the city of Brussels, which is to be opened to-day, the Ist of October, has already cost 1,040,000 francs. This sum has bt en paid out of the credit voted by the municipal council in the years 1842, 1843, 1845, and 1846. Four years have sufficed for the erection of this gigantic building. The labours of the harvest, and the fine weather which we have enjoyed for some days, still keeps the peasants employed in the field. Accordingly, the markets of the capital are not so well supplied, and this naturally causes a rise in the prices. We have received from Poperinghe further informa tion respecting the hop gathering, which is now entirely terminated. We have already stated that there are very few years so favourable as the present. The value of the hops produced at Poperinghe may be estimated, without exaggeration, at a million and a half pounds, and that of the neighbouring communes at half a million, In ordinary years the produce is scarcely a million at Poperinghe. Reckoning the value of the present crop at the average price of only 50 francs per hundred pounds, the cultivation of hops will have pro duced the sum of a million francs to the inhabitants of Poperinghe and its vicinity. A letter from St. Petersburgh states that the works on the railway to Moscow are proceeding rapidly, and that this grand communication will probably be opened in 1847.

CURIOUS ROBBERY . Rather more than a menith ago a young man named Langlois, who was garcon de bureau to M. Bernard, an agent d'cufaires in the Bee Taranne, was tried for rob bing his master of a sum of 3,137 francs, and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The circumstances of the robbery were rather curious. La ng l o i s, who did not sleep at the ho use o f his employer, but went there early every morning, himself gave the alarm, and the family, on quitting their beds, found the office in a state of confusion, with stains of blood on the floor, ehymical matches lying about, and a window forced. L ang l o i s himself bad done all this to make it appear that the place had been entered by burglars, and that one of them had been wounded in doing so. Langlois, however, overacted his part so much that he was suspected and arrested. He protested his innocence up to the moment of his con demnation ; but on the following day confessed his guilt, and made some disclosures which led to the ar rest of his wife, a young and very pretty woman, and her mother, whose name is Froment. They were brought before the Court of Assizes charged with having had a knowledge of the robbery, and with having converted the proceeds of it to their own use. It appeared from the evidence that a few days before the trial of Langloiz he revealed to his brother, who had gone to see him in prison, that he had really stolen the money, and in order to conceal it from his wife and his mother-in-law, who he said would soon have dissipated it, he had hired a room in the Rue du Four, St. Germain, and had put it, with the except i on of 40 francs, which lie had to .en fvr um:indigo we, in " PABLO MARINO, " PEDRO CARBO, " JUAN FRANCISCO MILLAN, " JUAN lIIPOLITO SOULIN, " CARLOS VINCENDON, " FRANCISCO GAVINO."

PRICE SD. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday morning, at half•past ten o'clock, the Re vising Barrister resumed the revision of the lists of house holders. JUMENTS Shortly after entering th e court . The BARRISTER said there are three cases which stand over for Judgment, in which the only question is whether the parties respectively occupy certain premises as tenants, by reason of the landlord of each residing in the house. They are the cases of John Davies Price, in the list of the parish of St. Clement, Eastcheap, down for a count • ing-house, 3, Church-court, Clement's-lane ; Frederick William Grainger, in the parish of St. Margaret, New Fish-street, for a counting-house, 17, Pudding-lane; Henry Woodgate Saffel, in the parish of St. Leonard, Eastcheap, for a counting-house, 5, Eastcheap. Mr. Price occupies three rooms as a counting-huuse on the first floor of the house, 3, Church -court, which communicate with each other internally, and have two doors opening into the common passage of' the house. The landl4dy of the house, Mrs. Artis, re sides in it, occupying the ground floor as a parlour, and kitchen, and the rooms above the first floor as sleeping apartments for herself and servant. The street-door of the house is always left open on week days during the hours of business, but Mr. Price has no key of that door, the key is kept by the landlady; he has, however, the keys to the passage doors of the rooms in his occu pation; these keys are left at night with the landlady's servant, who has the charge of cleaning and looking after the rooms in question, and for these services the landlady is paid 51. a year more in the rent than she would be if Mr. Price had a servant of his own to look after the rooms. Under these circumstances I am of opinion that Mr. Price does not occupy the rooms in question as a tenant, but merely as a lodger, and that the case falls within the principle of Pitt's case (1 Bar. and Arn, 344), and Hill's case (Ib , 409). It was ad mitted, indeed, by Mr. Wansey, who appeared to support the vote of Mr. Price, that if that gen tleman had slept in the rooms he occupied he would clearly be a lodger, but in my opinion the quality of the occupation does not depend upon the purposes for which the occupier may use the premises. I cannot suppose, for example, that if a party occu pies the drawing-room floor of an ordinary dwelling house in which his landlord resides, the outer door of the house being left shut, and be uses the apartments in his occupation for the purposes of business only, and calls them a counting-house, he is to be entitled to the franchise, when he would certainly not be entitled to it if he used the same rooms as a dwelling-house. In other words, I think that where a qualification is conferred in respect of the occupation of a counting-house, it is in tended that the premises should be of such a nature as that if used as a dvvelling-house they would be sufficient to confer the qualification as " a house." Nor do I think that the circumstance of the street-door being left open during the day makes any difference in such a case. It is probably done here for the accommodation of Mr. Price, but it appears to me that as the landlady resides in the house she retains in law the control over the door. I am of opinion, therefore, that Mr. Price's name must be expunged. The circumstances in Mr. Grainger's case are precisely similar in all essential particulars to that in Mr. Price's, and this case will therefore be governed by that decision, and Mr. Grainger's name will be ex punged. In Mr. Saffel's case there are some impor tant facts of a different character. That gentleman also occupies the first floor of the house No. 5, East cheap, as a counting-house, and his landlord occupies the ground floor as a shop, and the upper part of the house above the first floor as a residence ; but this upper part is shut off from the lower portion by a door at the foot of the staircase leading from the first, floor ; and that door is fastened, and the key of it kept by the land lord. The street-door of the house is, as in Mr. Price's case, always left open during the hours of business ; and it was proved in this case that this was so done by an express agreement with the landlord ; but Mr. Saffel has no key to it. The shop has a separate entrance from the street, and there is a side door from the shop into the passage of the house, which door is not fastened up, but which is used by the landlord when he wishes to go from the shop to the upper part of the house. Mr. Saffel's own servant takes charge of the rooms in his occupation. lam of opinion that Mr. Saffel occupies these rooms as " tenant," and that he possesses a good qualification in support of them. It appears to me that the upper portion of the house in which the landlord re• sides is so sufficiently divided from the rest of the build ing as to form, in law, a distinct and separate tenement; the outer door to which may be considered to be the door opening upon the staircase. If the shop on the ground floor had no communication with the pas sage, the case, I think, would have presented ho doubt, because in that case the shop and the first floor would have been also two distinct and separate tenements; but as the shop has a door inte the passage leading to Mr. Saffel's apartments, I consider the whole lower front of the house as in the nature of one tene ment. But of this the landlord only occupies a part; he resides, it may be said, elsewhere, in what I consider to he in law a separate building; and I decide this case, therefore, in accordance with the decisions in which I have held that the mere occupation by a landlord of part of a house will not disqualify a party who occupies ano ther portion of the same house, a point upon which, however, I may say that I do not feel very confident in the absence of any deciSion by a higher tribunal. The street-door in this case might perhaps be looked upon es a mere protection to the premises, in the nature of a door or gate at the end of a court passage, or at the en trance to a building containing several sets of chambers, which is left open during the day, and closed for safety at night. But Ido not lay much stress upon the fact of this door being left open by day, and that it is so by an express agreement between the parties, for if it were usually kept closed, it would still be but the case I have before mentioned, that of the mere occapation by the landlord of a portion of the tenement consisting of the lower portion of the house. I decide, therefore, that Mr. Saffel's name will be retained. Mr. Wansey begged the Court would allow him a little time to consider whether he should take a case on the question of the counting-house, as he considered it one of importance. The BARRISTER also considered the question of very great importance, and expressed the greatest willingness to accede to the application of Mr. Wansey. George Catherwood claimed to be registered on the ground of successive occupation from No. 3 to No. 1, Warnford-court, but the premises which he occupied in successive occupation not being described, the name was expunged.

(From the Times.) _ _ _ Thilevent, which took place at Wolesley-hall, in Staf fordshire, on Saturday last, was neither premature nor unexpected. The youthful part of the present generation may probably consider Sir Charles to have been a person who occupied so little of public attention that he might be permitted now to descend into the grave without any very especial notice; but the elder portion of our readers will readily recollect that he rendered himself in uo slight degree remarkable during that part of the Reform agi tations in which hunt and Cobbett took prominent parts. The course that Sir Charles then pursued was, for such a man, really singular. Ile was a person of good substance, and belonging to the higher classes of society, both in right of his birth and of his title. If he had possessed a seat in the House of Commons,. his standing forward as an advocate of Parliamentary Reform in that assembly would have occasioned no sur prise whatever; but that he, a gentleman we believe in all senses of the word, should have associated himself with the seditious demagogues out of doors, who took advantage of general distress and popular ignorance to promote their own sinister and unworthy objects, was a course of conduct for which scarcely any parallel can be found. That he was extremely eccentric those who knew him will be quite ready to admit, but he was per haps the only man amongst his contemporaries who, without any mean or selfish purposes, permitted him self to be made so completely an instrument in the hands , of those who then traded upon the virtue of patriotism, and hoped to share in the plunder of a revolution. From all that baseness Sir Charles Woleiley WAS perfectly free, and it is only fair and just that the close of his life should be attended by some expression cf re gret and respect. He was in the 78th year of his age, having been born on the 20th of July, 1769. The family from which Sir Charles was descended is one of con siderable antiquity, but it was often difficult to repress a smile at the earnestness with which the dignity of his ancestry used to be insisted on by those who desired to make him an efficient instrument in the cause of sedi tion. With them a Tory squire was " the tenth transmitter of a foolish face," but in a democrat ancient birth was "a jewel of price;" and there can be no doubt that the Wolesleys are one of the best families in Stafford shire. Their founder was Siwardus, Lord of Wilkie ; the fifth in descent from him was Robert' Lord Of Wo lesley, who appears to have been the head Of the fairriky-f in the thirteenth century, and Ralph, another descend ant, was one of the Barons of the Exchequer in the time of Edward IV. Sir Robert, the first of the family who received a baronetcy, was so created on the 24th of November, 1628, and held the office of Clerk of the Patents in Chancery. The fifth son of Sir Robert ac companied William 111. to Ireland, commanded" the Enniskillen men at the battle of the Boyne and after wards became one of the Lords Justices of Ireland. Sir Charles, the eldest son of Sir Robert, was Member for Stafford in the reign of Charles 1., and his son became a zealous adherent of Cromwell, so that there appears to have been in this race a tendency to Liberalism in the 17th century, as well as in the 19th. The third baronet, Sir William, was drowned on the Bth of July, 1728, in fording a brook, when he, his lorses, and carriage were' carried away by the sudden bursting of a mill-dam. Of the fourth and fifth baronets nothing memorable is recorded. The sixth married Mies Chambers,-of Wimbledon, in Surrey, and the eldest surviving issue of that marriage forms the subject of the present notice. He was the seventh baronet, and was twice' married, fir . it on the 13th of December, 1794, to Mary, daughter of the Hon. Thomas Clifford, of Tixall, in Staffordshire, by whom he had three children. This lady died -on the 16th July, 1811, and within one year from that date Sir Charles, being then in the 43d year of his age, married, on the 2d of July, 1812, Anne, the youngest daughter of Anthony Wright, Esq., of Wealdside, in the county of Essex, by whom he had six children. The subject of this notice succeeded to the baronetcy upon the death of his father, in the thonth of August, 1817. At that precise period the transition from a state of war to a state of peace, combined with the influence of a succession of deficient harvests, produced very general distress, dried up the sources of manufacturing prosperity, produced much disturbance amongst the town population, and as usual led to a clamorous de mand for a change in the representation of the people. When such sentiments are afloat no place partakes of them so largely as the neighbourhood of Birmingham. As Wolesley Hall is not very far from that great com mercial emporium, Sir Charles was selected by the Brummagem patriots as the best card in their hand ; they, therefore, ' prevailed on him to attend the consultations of their committees, to move their resolutions at . public meetings, and even occa sionally - to address large assemblies of that class out of which those political unions were formed, which so materially promoted the passing of the Reform Act. Thus carried 'on step by step, Sir Charles Wolesley ended by becoming 'a Radical Reformer. His admirers in that town,' which has been called the " great smithy of the nation," considered that they -ought to be represented in the great council of the nation; : and that principle has certainly been recognised in the memorable measure of reform; but in the days when Sir Charles Wolesley was a demagogue the idea of electing a (ember for Birmingham was regarded 'tis something. just short of high treason. The sturdy smiths of Eng land's forge were, however, resolved to secure the agency of a legislatorial attorney, and incontinently they summoned a meeting, which took place at Newhall hill, near Birmingham, on the 12th of May, 1819. As every experienced politician expected, this terminated in mere smoke, and the whimsical crotchet of a legislatorial attorney ended where it began, with the clamorous elec tion of Sir Charles, by 15,000 or 20,000, some say 50,000, of the men of Birmingham and its vicinity! It was pre- - tending to send a man to Parliament, who—as the electors well knew—could not sit; and therefore to some extent it resembled the Clare election in 1828; when,' before the Emancipation Act, aßoman Catholic was retuned. The re sults of the latter, however, assumed a very serious aspect, while those of the former were simply ludicrous. Still the desire of Sir Charles to become a popular idol was not baffled by the ill-success of the scheme which made him an attorney. It is true that Mr. Wooler and others were tried for this attempt to force their favourite ' Baronet into the House of Commons; that they were - convicted and imprisoned. Unfortunately Sir Charles wits not to be taught by the lessons which the experience of others presented; and accordingly we find him in the same year making a sp eec h a t S toc k port, for which he was brought to trial and suffered twelve months' im prisonment. Every effort was made to give his trial, his imprisonment, and even his liberation all advantages to be derived from theatrical effect and popular enthusiasm; but the measures taken for that purpose were not quite so successful as they usually prove, for Sir Charles was not a first-rate demagogue, and the distress of the working classes was gradually be ginning to abate. But the reforming propensities of Sir Charles were not destined yet to undergo any abatement. On the 11th of March, 1820, he was again brought to trial for sedition, jointly with a man of the name of Joseph Harrison, a schoolmaster. This proceeding took place at the Chester assizes ; both were - found guilty, and sentenced to eighteen months' impri sonment. Even these heavy punishments did not alto gether check the mistaken zeal of Sir Charles Wolesley, for he is found continuing to attend Reform meetings as long as they continued to be held ; but when the late Lord Sidmouth ceased to be Home Secretary, and Mr. Canning began to lead the Ministerial party, it so hap pened that the question of Parliamentary Reform went somewhat out of fashion, and the only occasion which; presented itself for the d isplay of Sir Charles Wolesley's patriotism was that of becoming one of the sureties for Mr.'Hunt upon his liberation from Ilchester gaol. Par- liamentary reform, though it slumbered for a season, awoke in 1830 with an energy which proved to be the harbinger of eventual triumph. But by that time Sir Charles had declined into the vale of years. The frost of more than threescore winters had chilled in his heart the spirit of political enterprise. Mightier men than he stood forward to lead the popular movement, and there fore he retired to his proper position in society, ending his days as he ought to have spent his entire the privacy of his own home. MARYLEBONE. _Yesterday the revision of the list of voters for the borough of Marylebone was finally concluded at the Court-house, Mary lebone-lane, befere D. C. Moylan, Esq, There was nothing of any interest brought before the Court, the proceedings being confined exclusively to the correction of the lists. In the parish of Mary lebone, the letters D.D. after the names of the several district clergymen were struck out, on account of their clerical order not being required. EAST SURREY. Mr. Fyshe, the revising barrister, held his court yes terday. at the Vestry Hall, Camberwell, to go througii the list of voters for that district. Mr. E. Meymott attended, as Conservative agent, Mr. R. Russell for the Free-traders, and Mr. Jeans repre sented the Liberal party. In the parish of Christ Church 24 new claims were sent in by parties claiming to vote in respect of free hold land and houses, situate in Body's-court, in that parish. The claims were opposed by Mr. Meymott. Mr. Russell, who supported the cl a i ms , sa id th a t th e parties who claimed the right to vote, were the mem bers and shareholders of a building society, called the Finsbury House Estate Company, the object of which was, when a certain sum was raised by the contribu tions of its members; to purchase house property, or invest their money on mortgage upon it. The property so derived was vested in the usual way in three trustees, but they only acted for the benefit of the shareholders generally, and as the property, for which the votes were now claimed, was of amply sufficient value, he sub mitted that the whole of the parties now claiming to vote, were entitled to have their names upon the re gister. The deeds were produced, and the trustees, who were present, were questioned as to the nature of the associa tion proving the facts, as stated by Mr. Russell. It ap peared that since the formation of the society some of the members had disposed of their shares to other par ties by deeds of assignment. Mr. Meymott, in opposition to the claims, argued that there was no freehold qualification, and that the shares were merely personal property, and not freehold, and were treated as such by the members of the society. Mr. Russell, in reply, said it did not matter how the parties themselves might act with regard to their own property, if there was, in point uf fact, a freehold inte rest originally, and he cited a judgment given by the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal upon precisely the same point, in support of his view of the question. The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared to him that the case cited by Mr. Russell was completely iden tical with the present one, and he considered the claim ants entitled to vote. The whole of tho names were, therefore, placed upon the list. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POSTSMOUTH, OCT. s.—We are happy to state, that _,he naval court-martial which assembled this morning on board the Victory, to try, at his own request, First- Lieutenant Crawley, of the Avenger steam• frigate, on a charge of a serious nature preferred by Joseph Henry Grant, aged 16, his servantin the same ship,afterhearing the evidence, delivered the following decisioni—" The Court is of opinion that the charge against Lieut.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On the night of Saturday last the following daring highway robbery was com mitted on the Great Western-road, about midway be tween Knightsbridge and Kensington. It appears that just after midnight, as Mr. Osborn, of Pimlico, was re turning Home along the Great Western-road, from the direction of Kensington turnpike, he was suddenly at tacked by six or eight men, dressed as labourers, who demanded his money. Mr. Osborn called out for the police, but one of the men instantly tore open Mr. Os born's coat, and snatched from his waistcoat pocket a silver watch, with which they ran off. Policeman Froud bearing Mr. Osborn's cries, hastened to the spot, pursued the thieves in the direction pointed out by Mr. Osborn, and shortly came up with four men answering the de scription, two of whom ho secured. They were imme diately conveyed to the station-house, Kensington, but Mr. Osborn being unable to identify either of them, they were liberated. 107% y,- ?~ 1 ~~ 1
