The Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, commenced yes terday morninr, in the Court of Common Pleas, Guild hall, the list of household voters for the City. Mr. Wansey, the egfut fur the Liberal party, ap peared in support of the claim of John Tubbs, of No. 4, Dove-court, in the parish of St. Agnes and St. Ann. In supporting the claim, he took occasion to com plain of the conduct of the overseers in several cases, where they had neglected to put upon the rate-book per sons who were legally rateable and were.willing to pay. The REVISING BARRISTER said that he had found strong language to be of no use in correcting the negli gence of the overseer. He thought the only eff,ctual way would be to bring an action by way of example. Mr. Wansey said that he understood the 51st section of the Act authorised the Revising Barrister to fine the overseers for neglect. The assistant-overseer stated that he had not put the name of Tubbs upon the rate-book until after the claim was made by Mr. Sidney Smith (of the Anti-Corn-law League), whose clerk tendered the rates. After some other witnesses had been examined, it ap peared that Tubbs had not authorised any one to make a claim fur him. He could not write, and the signatures to the papers put in by Mr. Smith in his: name were written by his daughter.—The claim was dismissed. GREA 1' EASTERN AN I) ESTERN It A ILW AY. A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yeste7day, at the London Tavern ; at one o'clock. Mr. MAUBE,III% having been called to tt e ehain said the meeting heti bean convened to take the affairs of the company into e.o:;kderaticin, and to determine whether the company should be dissolved. The first thing the gentletnen present would proceed to would be the ap pointment of scrutineers. Messrs. Spackman;. Cohen, and Burby were elected scrutineers. • Mr. STA.NDISII AfOTTE begged to ask whether the meeting, had been • legally convened. He said he did so, for he hail taken some trouble to inform himself on the s lbject, and he found the directors had had good legal advice, to the effect that this meeting was illegal, and theirs, to be convened on the 23d instant, legal. He submitted that it would be better, considering there was but a difference now of two days, to postpone their proceedings until they should meet with the directors on the 23d inst. It would both be more judicious and more courteous. He was sir, , that nothing unfair would be done in this meeting, especially so long as Mr. Tvlaubert occupied the chair. But the proceedings here might involve the company in a suit in a court of law, and put the shareholders to consider able trouble and expense without furthering their end. He therefore moved that this meeting be adjourned till the 23d inst. Mr. MALINSON, of Huddersfield. begged to know ele: , Or whet 10-r the shareholders had given the directors notice requiring them to calla naeeting? Again, had they answered that call within a legat time? 6PACKMAN said notice had been given them; several requisitions had been put into their hands; but they had not answered these by calling a meeting within six days. Mr. MALINsoN—Then wherein is this meeting ille gal? He thought they had been duped long enough, and hoped the meeting would proceed to business. Mr. MOTTE said he hal the opinion of a highly re spectable legal gentleman, Mr. Lloyd, which was de cidedly against the legality of this meeting. The directors could not advertise in the first Gazette after receiving the requisition, and by advertising in the next they were delayed beyond the Fix days, but not placed in an illegal position. Mr. SPACKMAN explained that the meeting ought to have been called within six days of the requisition, and have been held within fifteen days after the appearance of the advertisement. The directors had not called a meeting within the six days specified, and the advertise ment whieh they had published called a meeting some nineteen days after ; so that in both respeets their meeting for the 23d was ill gal. If that meeting then should be illegal, and this meeting were dissolved with out proceeding to business, the shareholders would have no return for six months to come. But if at this meet ing they should vote a dissolution of the company, and the same determination were come to at the meeting of the 23d, no harm would be done. After some other conversation, _ _ .

The account of his tt e r thiP's death in the Times is a very incorrect one. d e , t r€l on the sth, not the 10th; and as to his Lordship's (I,`" having been caused by eating unripe grapes the 4 1 3 before, he had not eaten anything fo: four days. lv:„ ° as to his having been found dead in his bed ; there s ere several present when he died—in fact his doctor valet had not had their clothes off for seven days, ti4t Pot~natere in constant attendance.

The CHAIRMAN said the motion could not be put, as the only question before them was the dissolution of the company. Mr. ITIENRY SMITH moved that this company be dis solved. Mr. WILLIAM LAWRENCE seconded the motion. Mr. SPACEMAN moved that the dissolution be not an act of bankruptcy. The Cmtinmarrr put both questions to the meeting; and the shareholders proceeded to vote, when there voted 9,295 for the dissolution, but as 13,500 are re quired to make up the one third, the meeting was ad journed till Friday next.

Mr. MANGLES, M.P., having taken the chair, called l on the Secretary, Mr. Rand, to read tie report, from which it appeared that after liquidating all claims there remained in hand a balance of 3.1001., divisible among the proprietors, being 2/. 16s. 4d. on each of the 1,100 shares into which the capital of the compny is divided. Mr. BLACKBIGRE, in rising to move the resolution, eulogised the assiduity and attention of the directors. They went to Parliament in 1843 ; the royal aisent was given in 1844 to their Bill, and the contracts for the con struction of the line having been made and fulfilled, it was in operation in the month of May, 184\ Yet, under these circumstance , , he lzwlieved the cost of the line bad b: en a 3 moderate a. , ; any railway in the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN—It is the cheapestin England. Mr. BLACKMORE continued-1n 1845 there were pro j,• cts talk,d of, which, if carried into execution, might have annihilated their line, but by the efforts of the directors this company had been able to come to a bar gain yr% ith the South Western. The result of that bargain had placed 3,1001. at the disposal of the sharcheld , rs. lle moved, therefore, that out of the sur plus of 3,1001. there should be a division of 21 ss. a share amongst the shareholders, and that the balance of 625/. should he placed at the disposal of the directors, ler their attention to the interests of the proprietors. Mr. FIELD said he would have. only divided 2/ a share, but he concurred with the mover, and seconded the re solution. The CHAIRMAN stated that the line cost only 52,0001. He added that he had only now, on behalf of himself and the other directors, as this was a virtual dissolution of ,the company, to return the proprietors his sincere thank , fur the kind support which they had given. The m...tirm was put and carried. Mr. ZdARSHALL then mova d a vote of thanks to the Chairman, %%hien was seconded by Mr. CURRIE, and passed imunimously-. EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS AND 13IRMINGIIA M. JUNCTION RAILWAY. The first general meeting of the proprietors and shareholders of the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway Company took place yesterday, at the Company's offices, 5, Church•past.age, Guildhall, for the purposes mentioned in the Act of In corporation and the Companies Clauses Consolidation Aut. _ _ John Scott, E-1., took the chair shortly after one o'cloek, when the seal of the company having been affixed to the book of registration, The CHAIRMAN congratulated the proprietors on the successful result of their application to Parliament, and trusted that the proprietors would be satisfied with the exertions that had been made by them on their behalf. He would now call upon the Secretary to read the report. The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it appeared that the receipts were 59.7151., and the ex penditure, 8,4291., leaving a balance of upwards of 51,0001. The report, after a few observations from some of the shareholders present, was received, adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated among the pro prietors. George Carr Glyn, E3q , was appointed - a director in the room of Pascoe Grenfell, Esq., who had resigned. Mr. George Grenf 11 Glyn and Mr. Bright were ap pointed auditors at a salary of 201. per annum. BONA , ;Y Donnas, Esq., moved that the sum of 1,0001. should be set :Tart fur the remuneration of the directors for their past services, and that the same be continued annually until the opening of the railway. The motion having been seconded, A PROPRIETOR moved, as an amendment, that 500/. instead of 1.0001. he set apart for the remuneration of the directors. After some short discussion, this amend ment was withdrawn, and the original motion carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to the question of a proprietc r, that due notice would be given to the proprie tors of any call that was intended to be made by the directors. _ _ Captain MANGLES, M.P., thought that after the report of the Commissioners with respect to the City termini, this company, if it could come to an arrangement with the Blackwall Rdlway, would have the only City ter minus. He had been told the Blackwall Company had a large quantity of land near Fenchurch•street that w ould t u.swer the purpose. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from a proprietor, said that it was the intention of, the di rectors to allow interest upon the de posits ; that none of the works had yet commenced, but that a great num ber of bargains had been made with landowners upon the line. Thauks were then voted to the chairman and directors, and the meeting broke up. ELECTRIFIED SPARROWS.— It is not a singular fact hut it is, notwithstanding, a fact which some of our r. suers may be ignorant of, that sparrows and other small birds which happen to perch on those mysterious lines of communication, the telegraph wires, are des tined, ever and anon, to suffer severe shocks of electri city, the effect of which is (though we never witnessed the phenomenon), that they drop down, not dead, but half dead with amazement and terror. The shock, if severe enough, would destroy them. Electricity can be adminia , er , d in doses which would kill a .horse. Per haps by transmitting through the tela graphic wire a very powerful charge, the unhappy sparrows along the whole line from London to Yarmouth might be cut off. This, in a ease of necessity, or as a matter of cruel curiosity, might be employed as a means of getting rid of these vermin. It is not uncommon or extraordinary to see a hundred of these feath‘red depredators on one mile of wire. The length of the whole line of which we speak is 146 tales. A shock strong enough to de stroy sparrow life, would, with these data, cut of from the land of the living, at one fell and fatal swoop, not less than 14,600 of these pernicious Ho e creatures. One thousand miles of railway would in like manner, anil with the sativ, conditions, he the death of 100,000. Even supposing that death does not ensue, yet so m iserable will be the; fate of these Lille animuls when the whole island is covered with a veritable net work of telegraphic wires Fatal twigs these for tiny faet, The whole family of sparrows will be paralysed. The fowls of the a:r will be electrified. People as they talk with each other, and whisper to each other, in un heard communion, at the. distance of 100 miles, will be causing serious inconvenience to the feathered race. If Lord Palmerston's dream should be realised, and Land, should beg . n in a few years to commune by telegraph with Calcutta, how terrible the visitation to our fellow bipeds with feathers ! Each word, each letter will be a shuck. To us it may be pleasing so to hold inter course wi:h each other—to the little sufferers it will be shocking. We tremble to thick of the convequenccs, gna heartily recommehd the (.I,SO to the Soc'ety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Dig-carts sink into insignificance when compai:eil with this wholesale pal pitation—this tut ve:sal twittering and consternation_ ilnong the feathered trit ea.

" Spaniards,—My dignity and my sentinient:4; ri-nder it my duty to c►wait the result of events which I see without tistonishment about, to t:coomplish themselves in Spain; I could 'have wished to hold to what I announced to -you in my manifesto of May 23, 184 g. I then made known my principles; I to!d you I had no wher desire than to draw our country from the abyss into which she is plunged, to bring about •a lasting reconciliation be tween all parties, and to give you the peace - and hap piness of which you have so much need, and.which you so well merit. The rccult; have n•t responded to my efforts, and your hopes have been di.ceiVed. " Your duty and my word of honour impose on us new eff.rts to fulfil our mission. "Spaniards, the moment which I have sought to avoid with so much care, at the price of your sacrifices and my own—that moment is at last come ; it would be a dis grace for you and a stain on me to show ourselves less to-day than we have been up to thii time in the ()Onion of Europe. I know no parties, I only see Spanicrds all capable of contributing powerfully along with me to the success of the great cause for which Providence r,servus me. I therefore call you all to me ; I lx , ipe in you all, and I have no fear of any one. " Ths cause which I represent is just, no obstacle must impede us in saving it ; success is crvain, for I feel sure that you will all answer my appeal, full of zeal, active, and brave. " I implore you and recommend you r ot to think of the past. The era which is about to commence ought not to resemble that which has precded it. Concord must be established among all Spaniards ; let the epithets of parties cease ; let hatreds and remembrances of injury be buried in forgetfulness. " Institutions conformable to the spirit of the time we live in, the holy religion of our fore , athers, the free ad ministration of juit'cp, respect for the rights of property, and a cordial amalgamation of parties, lo ! these are the principles which guarantee the possession of that happi ness which you so fervently desire. " I will adhere to what I promise and what I offer, and in the moment of success nothing will be more sweet, nothing will give me greater satisfaction, than to see around me neither victors nor vanquished. " I thank you for all you have suffered, for your con stancy and for your prud4ouie.: The admirer of your courage and your exploits, I shall know how to recom pense them on the field of battle.

The emancipation anniversary celebrations seem to have passed off with urmsual dulness. We have our usual file; of West India papers, but, with the exception ot congratuLiims on the improved state. of the weather and prospects of the crops, they contain no news of importance. We gather from the .10naica Dispatch that for many years the island bad not been visited with so long and uninterrupted a series of favourable- weather as lead. been experienced since the latter end of June, and never had the growth of cane been so r(- markable. The indications of a continunnce of this seasonable weather were still apparent; indeed, in some parts of the island the fall ot rain stil con tinued, and the next- year's crop was exrected to be pro prtionably increased.

The landlord of the house, with several other persons, then interfered, and the deceased was taken out into the air; but as he showed no symptoms of conscious ness, it was deemed necessary to procure medical aid. Mr. Cheatle, surgeon, of Burford, promptly attended, ant he saw at once that it was a hopeless case. He found the deceased in a state of collapse, and labouring ender depression of the brain. Stimulants were admi nistered, and the other means used in such cases were resorted to without effect. The deceased, who never r.dlied, expired next morning. On a post mortem o-xa_ ruination there appeared a contused wound, two invites long, which laid bare the skull from the dura nutter to the pia meter. There was no very great extravasation if blood, but the pressure of the skull upon the brain sufficiently neeoUntrd GU' the death of the party. Mr. Cheatle added that he had attended Clifford, the other man, who appeared to have sustained some injury about the head and face, but not of a serious character. The whole of the witnesses were sever( ly cross-f xa mined, either by Probert or his solicitor, for the purpose of showing that the police, having been in the first in stance called in by the landlord of the house, were only acting in the p3rformance of their duty. end that the accused had been compelled to use his staff in self-de ience. The witnesses all c , incurred in stating that there was no riot, and that no resistance was offered which justified the peliceman in using his staff. Mr. Gaisford, the solicitor for the police, pressed this point so pertinaciously, that the 0 Ironer was at length •ompelh d to order the officer to remove him from the inquest-room. st :he 8.

It will be necesar3- to Watt., :first. that although the Nottini 4 ham and Lirei.ln linil wav has been opened some weeks, the station .s far from being coml late; tied that for st ve ral months oast a large number ot men have teen employed in cart lag earth from Ileac, n in ori:er to raise tin site tq is proper height. On the morning in question the men were employed as usual, but at eight i.'clork the greater part of them had retired to breakfast, four persons only remaining at work. Thi y were undermining for the purpose of more rettlily filing a cart belonging to J. Hallam, one e f the men kilted , when a p-rlion of the earth suddenly gave may.- Two of them. fortunately escaped, one of them being thrown to a considerable distance without sustaireng material injury. The other two were buried under the earth, and though one of them was immediately extricated, his neck was broken, and he was consequently quite dead. It was not known at the time that another man was involved in the catastrophe, but finding that one w as still missing, the workmen continued their labours, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in rei.overing the other body, but so mutilated that life must hare become extinct in an instant. Dr. Lacy had arrived before the last body was dug out, but of course his assistance was useless. The names of the deceased were Robert Ericgs, f Newark, a single man, and Joseph Hallam, Rattily, where he kept a small public house and grocg•r's shop; he was married, and is reported to have left I I children. He had only e , mmenced that morning with his horse and cart to load the earth to the station, and had only taken two loads when the fa , al accident happeni.d. The cart was broken to pieces, but the horse was unhurt. At o'clock in the afternoon ot the same day an inquest was held on the bodies, and a verdict of 6‘ AecidiAtta,l death" was returned. DARING ROBBERIES.—On Friday information of the following robberies was received by the police:— From the store room of Mr. Peter's coach factory. Adam - street West, St. Marylebone, about fifty yards ofcrirnson lutestriog silk, eleven yards of fine drab cloth, and a pair of Wellington boots; from the office of the clerk to ti,( Board of Guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea, six sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, 13s. 6d. in silver, tivepenee in copper, and a black dress coat; from the house of Sir John Hall, her Majesty's Do,:kyard, Deptford, a 10/ Bank of England note, No. 96,005, dated the 4th ef.Tu:y. 1846; from the house of Mr. Brooks, 4, S.uth-row ,New - road, five silver tablespoons, six dessert spoons, three teaspoons, three saltspoons, and a soup ladle, all King's pattern, and four dessert knives and four forks, with pearl handles. Mr. Thomas Score, of Okeford-Fitzpaine, Dorset, has, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop, with his usual liberality, again reduced the rent of his land one-third, for the benefit of his poor tenants. It is sir cerely to be hoped that every wealth) landowner will follow so praisew,,rthy an xample.—Salisbury Journal. DREADFUL FIRE IN SWEDEN.—The whole of the buildings, tools, and materials for working the silver mines of Sala, about 20 leagues north-west of Stock holm, were destroyed by fire in • the night of the 26th ult., c iusing a loss estimated at 3,000.000 francs, and putting 2,000 men out of employ.—Galignani. RAILWAY MEMBERS.—As railways :are becoming the "Fifth Estate," it is time they should be represented in Parliament, more especially as it is an estate which covers more land than all the other estates put together. We propose, therefore, that members should be returned to look after the interests of railways. Each railway should return two or four members, according to the length it runs, but branch lines should only return ore member. Each shareholder should have a vote. Thus we should have the honourable member for the Grand Junction moving for a return of the passengers on the Eastern Counties Rana ay who arrived safe during the last year ; and the Railway should be able to answer the accusations of rival companies, who are al ways throwing stones on his favourite line, with a view, we suppose, of making the engines trip up. What a busy scene, too, an election on a railway would be ! We can fancy the express trains that would be engaged all day in conveying the voters of each candidate. The excitement, too, as the state of the poll was declared at each station, would be immense, whilst the scene f chairing the member, on a special engine, the whole length of the line, would be witnessed, in inany cases, by half a dozen counties. The great booth might be erected at the terminus, and each voter should be called upon to produce his scrip, so as to guard against th e pulling of stags. The placards also would be very rich. We should have " Vote for Snooks and a large dividend" __.. , Eitzjames, the Stoker's True Friend"—" Brown and Early Trains "—" Plump-rs for Packstone, the Pet of the North Miidands." We thi n k a ra il a ay parliament will soon be added to St. Stephen's ; in fact, the acci dents and abuses are so numerous that they acivally re quire some engine in the l Ouse of Commons to answer - f)r thm,-414744. DEATH OF LORD YARDOROUGH.—We have re ceived, on the best authority, the following additional articulars relative to the death of this lamented Noble man. His Lordship sailed in the Kestrel in the latter part of July to rejoin the squadron at Cork, with the , ull intention of returning to Cowes early in August. It appears that Lord Wt rsley was prevented by a eh bse att,ndance to his Parliamentary duties accompanying his noble father at that time, and that.his Lordship's second son, Captain the non. Dudley Pelham, who had accompanied him throughout the early part of the season, was summoned away upon business of a most urgent na ture, which also prevented him from accompinying his Lordship at the time of the Kestrel leaving C,,wes; but after the arrangement of that business, he in a w r! s went to Plymouth to rejoin the yacht, but f and -he had sailed from Falmouth only a few In,urs pre vious to his arrival. His . Lordship appears t o h ave accompanied the squadron to Lisbon, and it is sup posed was induced, by the fineness, of the weather in. (hat genial clime, and by the hope of receiving as much benefit from the crui,e as he had usually done, to linger about much longer than he had intended. He was compelled to take to his bed on the 22i of Auguvt., when the Kestrel's co urse was trim d homewards, but owing to a continuwi. 41 of adverse wiTh she had n progressed further than the vicinity of Vigo, when 7t w as found necessary to put in there - for - the Fake of r;inrding ease and quiet to his fast appreaching end. His lordship expired without a struggle en the sth of September, at 4.37 P.M., having to the last moment been attended by the medical gentleman win - ) has for many years, and on all occasions, accompani, , d his Lordship. The I s o‘ . )eloved and respq,etel a noble:ran will be mo , t , xu n— sivelv felt, .as the tenants op his Lordship'- vmst estates, remote from each other th: - .lol.they Ee, h ave each and every one exreri , •need some,re7muki,l - ;l e in stance of his disinterestedness and warmth ibf heart. The members of th Royal Yaeht Squ3dr , m, I‘h.• owe to his Lordship's judicious and conciliatory rrn-agrres so much of their present proud position, have testified their great regret at his loss, as writ as all the inhabitants of Cowes, by wearing th it flags only half-tnast high. The Kestrel's arrival with his Lordship's remains may be d a ily looked for, as she left Vigo Bay for Cowes on the 9th of the present m ,nth. • ACCIDENT.—DEATH FROM NOT HAVING LEARNED TO SWlM.—Yesterday morning, a young lad. acting as call boy on board the Latml Richm ‘,:d steam. boat, then off Arundel-stairs, while engaged on deck cleening the fore sponson, lost his balance and fell into the river. He could not swim, but struggled violently. A g,ittle man wbo was rowing past at the time, threw off the upper part of his dress and plunged in. Theugh he dived several times, he failed to reach him. Exertions to re cover the body, too, were unavailing. SUGAR CULTIVATION IN THE WEST INDITS.—A memorial to the Secretary of State for the Colonial De partment is being sent round to mercantile houses in Liverpool interested in the West India trade, praying for a grant of corporate privileges to those c,,buties, and for pecuniary asststanee in the way of 1 .. , a , ,s, by the issue of ExAequer-bills upon the security ..f (m uft i central sug-ar works, to be established at places not named. Th e mpm,rial states that a plan for separating - ; culture of sugar from the processes of manufacture has excited mu, h attention, and that it would nsist the planters by introducing a diVision of labour, with other practical methods Of - eonotn,y•-• but they are so parlysed and deprna•Cd, as not to be able to effect this improve ment without the assistance of Government, who arc re minded that sinikr assistance has been rendered to the landed interests of Great Britain and Ireland. The me morial has not, as yet, met with much sUCCOSS in obtain lug signatures.—Manchester Examiner. MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION The Revising Barrister held his court, by djourn ment, yester.b.y morning, at the vestry room of St Pan e; a ; parish, Gordon-square, for the revision of the is of vot. rs for this district. Mr. John Edward Beale, of No. 2, Gresse-street, was objected to by the Conservatives on the ground of not having paid his rates. In support of the objection, Mr. Greenwood produced the collector's book, in which it was stated that Mr. Beale, of No. 12, Gresse-street, had not paid his rates. 111 r. Ivimy showed that the premises out of which the vote arose were situate at No. 2, and that the rates had been paid there. Mr. Beale complained of his being compelled to attend either through the carelessness of the collector, or in consequence of Mr. Greenwood not having closely ex amined the list before making the objection, and trusted the Court would order costs. _ _ The REVISING BARRISTER said, as Mr. Beale was not prepared with his rate receipts, he did not feel justified in awarding c ,sts. Mr.Crickney was objected by the Conservative agent because of not baying paid his rates. As this case, in a great measure, tended to affect no less than 1,500 inha bitants of St. Pancras, much anxiety was manifested as to the result. It appeared that, on the 28th of May, the collector of assessed taxes for the district died, and it was not till the 10th of July that his successor was appointed, and even then only through the strong representations of the parishioners, who feared that as only about ten days remained to make the payment necessary to quality them to vote, the greater number of those who had not paid previous to the death of the collector, amounting to arly 1,500, would be all disfranchised. • Mr. Laurent, the present collector, stated that pi e vious to his appointment on the 10th of July there had been no person since the death of his predecessor to re csive the assessed taxes, although he understood there were numerous itiquiries as to. who was to receive them. Within three days of the time of his appointment he nt letters to all the 1,500 persons, stating that he was ready to receive the taxes. About seven days only re ,rained from the date of those letters until the last day for payment. Mr. Crickney stated that he was compelled to leave town on business of an imperative nature, and on his re urn his servant handed him Mr. Lem - tiles letter, men tioning the appointment, upon which he immcdiatel went to pay the, taxes, but found he was too late. The REVISING BARRISTER held that a suffit keit notice tad been afforded. It was the duty of the servant to nave forwarded the notice to Mr. Crickney. It might seem a hard ease to thus deprive him of his franchise, but as the law now stood he was compelled, although reluctantly, to refuse placing his name upon the registry Object'on allowed. The next ease was that of Mr. Laudet, who was also °fleeted to by the Conservatives under precisely similar circumstances. He stated, in reply to the objection, that he had been out of town between the 10th and 20th of July and pre vious to that he had mad.' repeated applications to find out to whom he was to pay his taxes, but without avail. The IiEVIqNG BARRISTER said that, much as regretted rejecting the rilme of a person without any fault of his own, still it .tid not seem to him that he peuld place his rame on the regis;ry. However, as it wai a case involving a large majority of the votes of the district, he shOuld deter giving judgment finally until to• morrow morning, when, in case the decision was ad verse to Mr. Laudet's claim, he should allow of an appeal. EAST SURREY REGISTRATION. Ths Revising I3arrister, S. C. C. Fyshe, com menced the revi:io , for the above portion of the county of Surrey, at the Town-hall. Reigate, yesterday. Messrs. Drummond awl Chrees attended as the Con servative agents ; Mr. Jeans appeared as the agent for the Surrey Reform Asseciation, and Mr. It. Russell at tended on behalf of the free trade party. The Learned Barrister went through the lists of the whole of the parishes, but none of the cases involved any new point, or any question of importance to the public. The next court 'Ala be held at. Croydon on Wednesday, at eleven o'clock. The Fall and Coon ,ss Cowp r left Panshanger, their seat in }:erts, on Saturday iasa on a tour of visits. SIR ROBERT PEEL AT 110 ME.— On Wednesday last about two hundred neig4bours, servants, and other friends of Sir Robert Peet, were entertained by the Right 'Hon. B troret and his lady, near his residence at Dra‘ - ton Manr, at din .er and t al. After dinner the numbers greatly inereasert, and dancing, besides a variety of rus tic games and p isaimes, commenced. Sir Robert and his lady se .t.nt d t , enjoy the festivities as heartily as any person pr aent. The (lir was very unfavourable. but in the evening the weather ellared up, and contributed much to the e tjoytuent of all present. The kind and affable manner in which Sir Robert and his lady entered into the e t joyment of his party diffused general happi ness.— Birminaham Journal, ANDOVER.—CONCEALED TREASURE.—Some alter ations bAng found necessary to an ancient dwelling house in the High-street, the workmen, in removing tile bricks from the bottom of a cl i urtey, sere agreeably surprised by finding several gold c&n o gr- at antiquity. It is conjectured they were cuncealed by the removal of a brick and replacing it, nearly two centuries since. Two of t h e paces are about the size of the prerent half-crown, hut much thittn r ; they were coined in the reigns of James I. and Charles L, and are in good preservation, having apparently lain dormant almost from the time of their issue. It would appear they ware deposited in their hiding-p!ace wrapped in linen, but which was entirely decayed, leaving only a decayed cover of dust about the coins.—Hampshire Independent. The paragraphs which have appeared in the English papers, stating that saloons were to be provided on the Eastern Counties line for the accommodation of smokers, have attracted much attention on the Continent, which is but natural, as there every male traveller is by habit a consumer of bigars. The example will most likely be extensively followed in Germany and Holland, should the system be found to answer the expectations of the Eastern Counties C. mpany. Without wishing to inter fere with the tastes and pursuits of the public, we think. however, that smakirg on railways ought not to be en couraged, simply on the ground that it must be more or less dangerous. With a strong current of air passiag through railway carriages in motion, there must always be a chance of ignition in the case of clothing and other eflammable articles which may happen to he loosely in the way. The accident on the Versailles Railway a few years since, from fire, should operate as a ceution to rail way beards with regard to smoking. The paint are varnish were found, on that occasion, to contribia, freely to the melancholy and extensive loss of life that took place. BORDERY AND SUICIDE.—On Friday morning a young woman, named Elizabeth Wilson, servant of all work, in the employ of Mr. Ledger, baker, of SA an-lime, loatherhithe, committed suicide by hanging herself on her master's premises, under the following extraordinary oiremnstances: —For some time pest Mr. Ledger had on veri ors ecie sions missed a geed deal of money from -is cash box, and the ebstraetien of sovereigns and half sovereigns at last became so frequent, that he marled his money and endeavoured to trace the thief, but without success. On Friday morning a seed cake was missed, and on search being nude was found in the girl's bax, together with several marked coins, and other articles which had been missed. Mr. Ledger then sent for her mother, and the young woman appeared greatly excite d On her mother's arrival she was sought for and could not be found for some time. At last she was discovered at the rear of the premises, suspended by the neck to a lore made fast to a beam. She was immediately cut doe n, was quite extinct; a surgeon who was called in said she life h a d been dead about an hour. The deceased but was 19 years of age.

When he commenced this undertaking, war prevailed between the two above-uamed republics, but now that peace has been re-establisned, and notice given by the Consul for New Granada in this country that bis Go vernment is averse to General Flores' proceedings, and had refused him permission to crosi the Isthmus of Pa nama, his plans for again disturbing the tranquillity of the two countries will be happily frustrated. The following is a translation of the treaty, which was concluded on the 29th May last, at Santa Rosa del Charchi, by the representatires of the two Govern ments : The Governments of • Nueva Granada' and Ecua dor,' being desirous of re-establishing between the two republics the amicable at d friendly relations which have been unfortunately interrupted, have agreed to enter into a convention or treaty, for which purpose his Ex celiency the. President of New Granada has fully authorised General Pedro A:cantara Berra, , commander of the southern division; and his Excellency the Presi dent of Ecuador, Senhor Jot e Modesto- Larrea, his Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of New Granada, who have agreed on the fol lowing articles:— " Art. 1, Both Governments, anxious to put an end to all disputes and difference which may have taken place, agree jointly and severally to the re-establishment of that good understanding and harmony which formerly existed between the two republics, New Granada and Equador, and to a free, intimate, and friendly inter course threughout the whole of their respective terri• tories, as also between the people and Governments of each state. " Art. 2. The treaty of peace, amity, and alliance concluded between New Granada and Equador on the Bth of December, 1832, shall continue in vigour, and both Governments will adhere thereto, and will cause it to be fulfilled in all its lo.arings ; it being well under :stood that nothing which has occurred from that day to this, shall b.• available as a re :son for deviating front the tru., intent and meaning of that, treaty. " Art. 3. Both Governments pledge themselves to com mence negotiations so soon es possible, and within one year from this date, for arranging a new treaty of amity, commerce, navigati , ;n, and boundaries, the conditions of which shall be such as may be best adapted to promote the mutual advantages of the two republics. They fur ther agree to postpone the ratification of the treaty en ter, d into at Bogota on the 20th of January, 1845, which has already been approved of by the Congress of New Granada. " 4. With respect to giving up accused persons, agreeably to the 11th article of the treaty of 1832, the criminal courts and justices of the peace of the respec tive republics shall understand each other, and act ac cording to the circumstances set forth by the applicants, who must specify the law of the country in which the crime or delinquency may have been cornmittesi, which would warrant the apprehension and bringing to trial the person accused ; or, in case of need, one Govern ment can require of the other his expulsion. " Art. 5. The Government of Equador engages to respect, and cause to be executed, the sentences and judgments of the courts of law, civil and criminal, of New Granada, with respect to any delinquents who may come under their jurisdiction, having sought refuge in the territories of the Equador, agreeable to the classifica tion or nature of the crime Or delinquency established by the New Granada tribunals, without the least deviation therefrom. In the same manner the Government of New Granada engages to respect, and cause to be put in force, the judgments and sentences of the civil and criminal courts of law of the Equador, with regard to any delinquents, who, having sought refuge in the terri tories of New Granada, may come under its jurisdiction, according to the classification and nature of the crime or delinquency, established by such judgments or sentences, without any deviation whatever from the saute. " Moreover, when the accused came under the de scription of state criminals,' the expulsion or deliver ing up, stipulated in the said 11th article of the treaty of the Bth December, 1832, shall immediately take place, but if the offence is classified as purely political, such expulsion shall not take place. " Art. 6. The Government of New Granada, and that of the Equador, as a proof of the security they are de sirous of securing to each other for the future, and of the wish they entertain of drawing closer the mutual ties of friendship, undertake to prevent on the frontiers of the respective republics any attempt to disturb the tranquil lity of either state. This undertaking must, however, be construed to extend so far only as the power pos sessed by each Government, and the faculties afforded them by the laws would permit. " The present convention being in strict conformity with the stipulations contained in the treaty of peace, amity, and alliance of the Bth of December, 1832, al ready mentioned herein, and with the laws of the respec tive republics, it shall he carried into effect, so soon as it shall have been ratified by the executive power of New Granada and the Equador respectively. '• In testimony of the truth, we have sipined and sealed, with the seals of our arias, this convention in duplicate, at Santa Rosa del Carchi, this 29th day of May. 1846. (Signed) " PEDRO ALEANTARA HERRAN. JOSE MODESTO LARREA." _ Then follows a decree of the President of New Gra nada, Senhor Thomas C. de Mosquera, promulgating and ordering the above convention k,r treaty to be duly observed and executed. Dated, Bogota, the 29th of June, 1846.

INTERMENTS in CHURCHYARDS. MEETING AT ST. ANN'S, SOllO. Yesterday morning s public vestry for this parish was holden, in pursuance of a requisition by several of the ilhabitants, to consider the propriety of closing the churchyard and preventihg any further interments therein, as being prejudicial and injurious to the health of the parishioners. Mr. Samuel Bcnsor, the senior churchwarden, was called to the chair. _ The vestry previously proceeded to the election of twenty-four commissioners Ice. the Court of Requests for Westminster and the Duchy of Lancaster. The CHAIRMAN said, that since receiving the requi sition the churchwardens had examined the churchyard, and did not find it worse than it had been for the last four or five years, and they did not see the necessity of a new churchyard, which would necessarily entail on the parish a very considerable expense. The church. wardens, therefore, had no proposition to submit to the vestry, but would be happy to hear any suggestions that could be offered, or take the sake of the meeting on the subject. Mr. SAVAGE moved for a committee of inquiry on the subject of the requisition, as there was a gei:eral feeling in the parish that the churchyard was in such a state as to be highly prejudicial to the health of persons residing in the vicinity. It was well enough to ray that there was not so much ground to complain as formerly, and he would admit that there was not, but that was merely a palliation of an evil which should be looked boldly in the face. The evil was the vested interests of the clergyman and others, but if there was an evil fifteen years ago, when the parishioners had to interfere for their own health, what must it be now that thousands more had been buried, and they had had to dig through bodies six feet under ground to get to a depth of twenty feet to make ground? It was true the burial fees had been raised, to restrain the interment of non parishioners, but nevertheless very strong grounds of complaint still existed. Mr. ROGERS, a surgeon, seconded the resolution, and said, that the eyes and feelings of all persons in the vicinity were shocked by the scenes in the churchyard. He considered, with Mr. Savage, that the evil ought to he looked full in the face, for the sake of hamanity, and the preservation of health, and that the committee should be appointed. Medical men, with few exceptions, were well aware that churchyards in the vicinity of ha bitatioes were injurious to health. Himself and several others; had come forward to urge this for the interest and comfort of common humanity ; he therefore hoped they would meet, not with opposition, but with a spirit of kindness - .—(hear, hear.) Dr. CRONIN, of Cirencester-place, spoke to the same effect, and from having suffered from living near the churchyard in the Savoy. The CHAIRMAN said the burials had decreased within the last fitteen years. A PARISHIONER inquired in what ratio? The VESTRY CLERK—III 1833 tnere were 500 a year, and mow for three years the average was 220. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting in support of the resolution. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said the authorities wet e quite willing that a committee should be appointed, and every facility would be afforded to the comwittee. Some remal ks having been made on the broad prin ciple of the injurious tendency of churchyards in the metropolis, the resolution was agrted to. A MINER'S OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE MINES OF CORNWALL. The following is a copy verbatim et literatim of the ac count of the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to the Restormel Mine at Cornwall, sent by Captain C—, who conducted the royal party, and which was received at Southampton by one of the leading scientific mem bers of the British Association:— " 9th Sept. 1846, Lostwithiel.

They presented the Prince with two miners' hats.— Gloucester Journal. THE DANGER OF CONGREVE LIGHTS.-011 Satur day night, between eight and nine o'clock, a large pile of boxes containing congreve matches, was discovered to be on fire in the shop of gr. Cocks, ml and tallow-chand ler, 11, Broadway, Westminster. From the highly in flammable nature of the stock great fears were enter tained, when one of the shopmen had sufficient pre sence of mind to throw a wet cloth over the burning boxes, and was thus enable d to carry them into the centre of the roadway, the only damage sustained being tLeir destruction. WILFUL DAMAGE TO PUBLIC BATHS.—At Mary lebone police office on Saturday, William Bardwell, an architect, was fined 41. for having wilfully damaged one of the baths at the Public Baths in George-street, New road, by pouring some strong acid on the enamel, which caused it to peel off.
