Both Barristers sat together to adjudicate on this question, which affects the privileges of all deans and chapters on the new foundations, that is, all those w;.ich were rs.z blished by Henry VIII. and since his time—thes, inch.* !e •more than half the deans and chapters in Eng!a,id Wales. The objection arose in consequence of its being supposed that they were a corporation aggregate, Cie tnetn, hers of which cannot by law vote out of the property hold by the corporation. The reverend prebends claimed their vote specially on this occasion from the receipt of' the VA) of 171. 6s. Bd. paid to each of them out of 'their cltat:ea, Qnd the occupation of a prebendal stall. ' , In the case of the Rev, Mr. Bowan% after Counsel for and against the claim had been heard, Mr. RYLAND said that it was his opinion that the right to vote had been sufficiently made out. The only argument against it was that the dean, pPetends, end chapter formed a corporation aggregate, - But if it were oyu a 1 0 1 at y mes , da itn. those many t o s yH • s a ee s ae r m s a in de gu o c u . t . po.;!•ible that persons could be of a co;-poration kggreg,ate, r who had cession had always arrived at the same conclusion.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Although, as the subjoined accounts will shew, the outlay on the works is beeoming heavy, the direetors expect that the balance in hand, aided by the instalment now in course of receipt, will prevent the necessity, for some months, of a further call on the hareholders. Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole line would be simultaneously in operation—and, under the feeling that all possible economy should be exercised—the directors have ear nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re duced several brandies of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a moiety of the compensation, so liberally voted for their services at the first general meeting. Carefully weighing, therefore, every consideration, whether of a public or private nature, which relates to y this undertaking, the directors feel its vigorous prosecution to be their highest duty, and with a steadfast determination to fulfil it, cheerfully appeal to the confidence and support of all who are interested in its completion.

This point has been already raised, aid decided at the two pre ceding registrations, Mr. Coventry deciding against the claim, and Mr. Keen deciding in favour of it. It was brought before Mr. Tamlyn to-day, and argued at great length, Mr. Gregory appearing in support of the claim and Mr. Coppock against it. • Mr. TAMLYN said •he would look over the cases re ferred to before giving his decision. &c. ki Richard Bentley, Ne * Orders received Price Four Shillings THE BRITISH and FOREIGN REVIEW, or, EUROPEAN QUARTERLY JOURNAL, No. X. will be published on Monday.

THE IRISH PETITIONS.-..--We were amongst those who anticipated great things from the meeting at the Royal Exchange. We did not think that the enthusiasm Which pervad.d the pioaeedings of the Dublin meeting would have instantly extended to.. and manifested itself in the pro% i ices. We regret to find we were mistaken. - Th.. p e ople of Cork, and Waterfprd, and bimprick, and Gal v,ay, and Belfast, and Derry, ere jtist as much interested in the i sue of the coming struggle as the people of Dublit. —yet in none of these places (so far as we are aware) — has tl.ere been any public demonstra.ion of sympathy, o' any attempt made to imitate the ncbl example of the metropolis.—Pr Mimi, In exposing the enormous falsehoods daily and nightly issued from the. Tory press with regard to Ire land, we do -more than turd) , vindicate that libelled country. The defamation of the Irish people, and the objects of their choice, is but a means to an end. That end is the defeat of the cause of re form. Toryism is to be replaced in power by a process hitherto unheard of ix the history of cor ruption, for it is little to describe it as a mere outrage on the Constitution. The chosen repre sentatives of the nation are to be hunted out of the Commons by a scheme of wholesale peti tioning against their returns. The costs of this wholesale petitioning are to be defrayed by public contribution ; a fund is to be created large enough to overwhelm every private or local subscription to defend the seats attacked ; and to amass such a fund every engine of fanaticism and false hood is to be put in motion ; every fraud practised upon ignorance ; every unprincipled appeal made to prejudice, bigotry, and passion. Nothing more clearly denpristrates the daringly unconstitutional character of the plot that has been laid to eject the Li beral Irish majority from - the posts where the efforts and free suffrages of the people have placed them, than the audacious system of lying and slandering which the Tory press has found it necessary to resort to in order to prepare the way for its reception amongst men of any decency, or the most elementary acquaintance with the principles of the Constitution. To gain a sub scription to this " sacred fund," as in the blasphemous cant of the Tories it is termed, the writers in their journals have not scrupled to affirm that the consti tuency of Ireland is composed of the members of a secret and treasonable confederacy, with an oath of massacre for its bond of union, that this atrocious gang has actually returned to Parliament mem bers of its own body, and that there is,. in fact, no way left to redeem Ireland from the horrors of the wildest anarchy, aggravated by the fiercest perse cution, but to take all means, lawful and unlawful, to oust these odious miscreants from their seats. Again, to persuade men to cast their gifts into this holy treasury, the Times tries its syren voice in the mu sical accents for which that Journal is so renowned, and the representatives of Ireland are branded in its decent columns as "a packed and rotten majority"—as " Mr. O'Connell's journeymen agitators"—as the offal and " refuse" of their country. Now, we do most readily admit that to thrust out of the British House of Commons men of the character drawn either by Times or Standard of the Irish Liberal Members, would be not merely a justifiable proceeding, but one in which no good subject, not to say good Protestant, could hesitate for a moment to aid with his best efforts. Daring, un wonted, unconstitutional, and revolutionary as the pro posal of wholesale petitioning is, we are far from say ing that the all-important object of excluding from the Legislature of .this Protestant State a band of despe radoes, consisting of the dregs of Irish society, and hound by an execrable oath to shed Protestant blood like water, would not fully justify the plan. Tremen dous evils require remedies on the same tremendous scale ; and we frankly admit that when Mr. O'Connell takes his seat in the House of Commons, surrounded by a more abandoned crew than environed Cataline— miscreants without a rag of character, of bankrupt for tunes, without a principle of morality or religion, bound by nefarious obligation to sweep Protestantism from the land—it is no time to scrutinize with too nice an eye -the rectitude or propriety of any defensive mea sure recommended. But let us reverse the picture ; let us recollect that falsehoods more unblushing never dis graced the press than the recent attacks by the Tory papers upon the Irish Liberal representatives ; remember that the unprincipled trickery of the Times and Standard has been stripped bare, that the latter has been forced to swallow at a meal all the fabrications and calum nies of three weeks' hard writing, confessing its stu pendous tale of a Ribbon plot to be as much a romance as Grizzle's rebellion, to say nothing of its refusal to name the Members of Parliament whom it declared to be Ribbonmen, a refusal which the public will coincide with us in ascribing to the best imaginable excuse for silence ; further recollect the light in which the little table which we published last Wednesday has placed the dashing slanders of the Times ; that we have incontrovertibly established the rank, for tune, and respectability of those very men whose returns are assailed by public subscription ; that we have shown that nine-tenth; of these gentlemen, described pa a packed d ands ‘r‘oti\r rotten majority," niorj in t i v. e „ lrs journeymen,"the,,reru refuse of the Ire land," are not Papists, but Protestants ; not paupers, but men of fortune ; not low runagates, but persons of time highest mark in society ; not the nominees, satel ,ttlaelentemtn, o rank,nie p , e b d u i g t r g e e e m I p i o te s s s , es a g n it d isr c e re v a e t r u y r t e i s tle of tha l‘ t ir; ,, O ilt ;C i, or character can give to sit in Parliament as Represen tatives of any constituency in the empire : recollect this, and then say whether the means by which this " sacred fund" is sought to be created arc not worthy of the ends to which it is proposed to devote it. Save upon the principles ascribed to the pupils of Loyola, could the empire's salvation warrant the use of frauds so gross, of falsehoods so prodigious ? And the sums raised by these infernal practices are laid upon the al tar The fund accumulated by these infamous arts, these brazen libels upon men who challenge compari son with any equal number of English or Scotch Members in everything that constitutes genuine re spectability—a fund designed to oust from their lawful seats in Parliament a number of opulent, loyal, and independent Protestant gentlemen, sincerely attached to the laws and institutions of the country, and de voted to the maintenance of the Union—such a fund is called sacred I Review the list which we published the other day : are not the individuals which it contains of time very rank, character, and description which every sensible man must desire to sec returned to Parliament by Ireland ?

TOWER HAMLETS. The revision of the lists for this borough was commenced and concluded yesterday before Messrs. Falconer and Keen. The Courts were opened at the Golden Ea g l e , St e p ne y. _ _ (Before Mr. FALCON ER. ) The lists of the following places were revised by this gentleman :—St. John, Wapping ; St. Leonard, Brom ley ; St. Mary, Stratford-le-Bow ; St. Matthew, Bethnal green ; Norton Falgate ; Mile-end Old Towa ; Mile-end New Town ; St. John, Hackney. MILE-END OLD TOWN. In this list there were only two claims, which were al lowed ; but in the original list the Christian names of the par ties had been omitted in nearly one hundred cases. Mr. FALCONER asked how it happened that so serious an omission had occurred ? A collector answered that in many cases it was ex tremely difficult to get the Christian names of persons even by applying to them ; they had reasons for declining to give them. _ _ _ Mr. FALCONER said the .50th section of the Act was very imperative, and, unless the omissions were supplied, he should be compelled to strike out the whole of the names. The Learned Gentleman then went through the list, and, with the assistance of the collectors supplied many of the names ; but a large number were eventually struck out of the list. ST, JOHN, HACKNEY. There were 84 claims on this list, and no objections. Mr. James Bromley claimed to be inserted on the re gister in respect of successive occupation ; but as that gen tleman was absent, there was no sufficient evidence that there had been no intermission of occupation. Mr. FALCONER observed that the attendance of the tax and rate collectors generally supplied sufficient evidence of the value of the property to sustain the claim, but in cases of successive occupation the fact could scarcely ever be proved but by the claimant himself, and without that ne cessary evidence he must disallow the claim. By the means first alluded to he had placed nearly a thousand names on the register without requiring the attendance of the claim ants. Mr. James Saunders, Jun., claimed to be put on the re ister, but on reference to it, the name was found already inserted. The Overseer said the claim should have been for Mr. Saunders, sen. He knew the gentleman who . had delivered the claim to him himself. Mr. FALCONER thought it strange the party did not know his own designation, whether he was junior or senior. —(A laugh.) He should allow the claim. Claims allowed, 14 ; disallowed, 10 ; withdrawn, 10-34. BROMLEY, ST. LEONARD. There wore but five claims on this list, including two of Messrs. Curries, the distillers, which were allowed. One claim was disallowed. . (Before Mr. KEEN.) Mr. KEEN took the following lists :—St. Mary, White chapel ; Christ Church, Spitalfields ; All Saints, Poplar ; St. Ann, Limehouse Botolph-without, Aldgate ; St. Peter ad Vinculum ; St. Peter, without the wails ; precinct of St. Catherine ; St. George, Middlesex ; hamlet of Rat cliffe; Holy Trinity, Minories ; St. Paul, Shadwell ; Ar tillery Ground ; St. Leonard, Shoreditch. ST. LEONARD, SHOREDITCH. Mr. Robert Sowden put in a claim. lie bad been omitted from the list, being rated at only 8/. a-year. Mr. KEEN asked if the assessment was made on two thirds of the annual rent. The Collector said it was. Mr. KEEN—Then the house is of the value of 10/., which is a sufficient qualification. Claim allowed. PRECINCT OF ST. CATHERINE. When this list was called on, the overseer was absent ; but had sent a note of excuse. The list was ordered to stand over till all the others had been revised, when the learned barristers having consulted fur a short time, Mr. FALCONER said that the provisions of the Act re quired that the Courts should adi)urn to the house of the overseer in John street, America-square, to receive the omitted list. The Courts were according]) adjourned for that purpose. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Messrs. Turner and Brett, the Revising Bar risters, opened their Courts fur the borough at the Town bull. (Before Mr. TURNER.) ST. MARY MAGDALEN. There were seven claims, of which five were disallowed on the ground of non-occupancy. Mr. Bouteher claimed to be registered as a voter by right of a warehouse which he held under the Leather Warehouse Company, the assessed taxes of which the Company paid. Mr. 13:mtcher had given the usual notice in July last, re quiring to be separetely assessed. Mr. Turner was of opinion that 'his elaiin did not come within the clause of the Reform Act referring to occupa tion, and, consequently, rejected it. (Before Mr. BRETT.) ST. SAVIOUR'S. REMISSION OF TAxEs.—Francis Allen claimed to vote as a ten-pound householder at No. G 4, James's-place, Kirham-buildings. The overseers objected to this claim on the ground of non-payment of taxes, and of having received parish relief by obtaining a deduction of one pound from his arrears of taxes when summoned before the magistrates, which they insisted. disqualified him from voting. Mr. John Curling, in suppnrt of the claim, stated that the claimant was the proprietor of thirty-eight houses, one of which he occupied himself, in respect of which he claimed to vote. The others he had let to tenants at various small rents. F. Allen was then sworn to the occupation and the value of his house, and the payment of the rates. The Collector was examined as to the assessment, and stated that the rates were paid up to the 6th of April. All the houses underlet by the claimant had been rated, and the house out of which he claimed his vote was as sessed at five shillings. After considerable discussion as to whether the rornissinn by the Magistrates was a disqualification of the vote, as he had pleaded poverty before them, and as all the rates were included in one summons, it might be probable that it had a reference to the claimant's dwellimo• ' -house. F. Allen was recalled , and stated distinctly that he re quired the reduction in consequence of the non-productive qess of the other tenements, which were greatly dilapidated, and that it was in respect of those tenements exclusively that the Magistrates had made the reduction, Mr. BRETT, after consulting with Mr. TURNER, stated that a doubt rested on their minds whether the • '• ssion could be considered general, yet, An remi Aet, ho would allow the .. a liberal view of the ~,,1111 EAST KENT. CANTERBURY, THURSDAY, SEPT. 28.—This tnorning XTENSIVE FORGERIES at DOVER. On Monday last a more than usual degree of interest was created ar Dover, arising from its being known that a young man who drove his coach and four was to be finally exa mined en a charge of forgery. The accused, whose name is Henn/ Brookes, about 24 years of age, was examined be fare the Mayor, WILLIAM COCK, Esq., and several magis trates, and ultimately was committed for trial. From the facts adduced in the examination it appears that the prisoner has committed numerous forgeries. For some years past he had lived as clerk to his uncle, Mr. Brookes, of the Strand, London, Who, in partnership with some other gentlemen, carried on the business of an extc-n -sve glass manufacturer, and which situation he left three months ago. On that ocoasion he went to Mr. Edmunds, silversmith, residing at Charing-cross, and presented a check for 25/., signed John Smith, and drawn upon Drum mond and Co. He reached Mr. Edmunds's just after the banking-house bad closed, when he stated that the firm was short of change, and he would be obliged to Mr. Edmunds to cash it. Knowing the respectability or the house of Messrs. Brookes and Co., Mr. Edmunds cashed the check. The same system he practised on Mr. Goodchilds, glass manufacturer and hop merchant, of the 800 ugh, from whom he obtained 25/. From a tradesman in Gerrard -street, Soho, he procured 35/., as well as from several other per sons who were in the habit of transacting business with his uncle, until his forgeries amounted to nearly 400/. On the above discoveries being made informatinn was given to Goddard, one of the officers of Bow -street, who, after great exertions, succeeded in tracing out the prisoner, who had been travelling about under the assumed name of Beauclerk, and had represented himself as belonging to the Landis , of the Duke of St. Alban's. To carry on the de ception he wore the undress of a naval captain, and under this assumed name he remained at Waite's Hotel, Milton, near Gravesend, for three or four weeks, accompanied by a young and fashionably-dressed lady, about 27 years of age, wh a since the apprehension of the prisoner, states her name to be Beresford. While there they were seen daily driving about in a carriage, and occasionally in a post-chaise. During his sojourn at Waite's the prisoner went on one occasion in a gig to Stroud, and by means of a forged check obtained 20/. from Mr. Huwgett, a plumber. From thence he went to Rochester, and by si milar means obtained 33/. from Mr. Rowland, a bnildrr. In the latter case he said that he had given up his situation as clerk to his uncle, and had taken that of a triveller— that he had not been home for some weeks, and he was in consequence short of money. Aire some further conver sation he persuaded Mr. Rowland to put his name to the hack of the check, as he was unknown at the Rochester Bank. He then said that he was going to Dover, on which Mr. Rowland recommended hint to Mr. Flight's. On Thursday last the prisoner called at the'mansion of Lady Darnley ; he afterwards went to the Bull Inn, and there partook of a luncheon, on which occasion he stated himself to be the brother oldie Marquis of Watet ford, and that he was going off to the Continent. He then left the Bull, and in the course of a short time he was again ob served to pass the place in a carriage and four, driven lar two postillions, and accompanied by a lady ; they charged .horses at the Red Lion, Ospringe, when it inti mate d to the persons about the inn that his LorVaip had run away with a rich heiress. This affair of gallantry of the lei f l isant Noble Lord spread like wildfire along the lire of route, and when the carriage arrived at the Rose Can terbury, between 300 and 400 persons assettd o .o,l to catch a glimpse of the runaway fair. After s t,- .1.4r0g about ten minutes at the aose, they proceeded to Dover, and the prisoner took up his residence at f l :ae Ship Hotel, and com menced living in a most mae:a s iticent style. On the f011,,w -ing morning, he desire,? \lr. Worthington, the prom . ietor, to order him a travelling chariot end four, as um,xpected business called hint to London. In the meanthre, a letter was sent to Mr. Thistletoo, a tradesman at Dover, to give the prisoner into custody if he attempted to obtain any money, While the carriage was getting ready the pri- . sower went to Mr. Thistleton, and begged of him to chang e a cheque for 50/., at the same time presenting one, signed Henry Beauclerk, drawn upon Coutts and Co. In stead of obtaining the money he was handed over to the custody of a constable immediately, examined, and re manded. In the course of an hour and a half after his apprehension, Goddard arrived in a post-chaise and four, when, finding that the prisoner bad not been searched, he proceeded to the gaol, a here 4(am:rid hint lying asleep on a bed, and on the table were three cigars, a lighted candle, and a decanter containing a pint of sherry. On his person were found several duplicates relating to very valuable plate pledged in London ; and in the corner of his pocket handkerchief were found several documents of considerable importance, but torn so small as to render it impossible to place them together so as to read them. Goddard then proceeded to the Ship, end seeing Mrs. Beresford (which we under,tand is a false name), obtained from her some money which belonged to the prison er , ar i s i ng out o f t h e produce of his forgerie. The lady, at the same time, packed up her jewellery, whieh was of conskderable value, and started immediately for London by t. l- .e mail. Tile trial of the prisoner will take ;ace in the course of the next month, and should he clicapc conviction he will be sent up to London in custody. In many iastanees he dis guised himself, as Goddard found on hitu a pair of false whiskers. MUNlctr, SEPT. 20.—A singular incident oc curred in the yesterday's sitting cf our Chamber of Depu ties.
