PREPARATIONS FOR TIIE TION OF THE QUEEN AT BRIGHTON. (From the Brighton Guardian.) As the Queen will arrive in Brighton after the publica tion of our Paper of this day, we shall not have the plea sure, for a week to come, of announcing her Alsjcsty's po sitive arrival here and safe installation in the Pavilion ; nevertheless, as great preparations have been made for the occasion, we shall, for the information of such of our read ers as from residing at a distance, or some other unfortu• nate accident, will not be able to be present in person, give some account of what has been already prepared, and what further proceedings it is arranged shall also take place on this eventful afternoon. This information will likewise be acceptable, no doubt, to many of those who will be wit nesses of the whole ceremonial. The great feature is the amphitheatre at the bottom of Church-street. This erection, the idea mad plan of which were originated by Mr. John Fabian, is upwards of 240 feet in circumference. The arena is open to the sky, but the galleries which run round it are roofed with boards. The lower gallery is about three feet from the ground ; and upon this stage persons will be allowed to take their stand on payment. of a moderate sum, the admission being by tickets only. The number of persons capable of being thus accommodated is reckoned at 1,400. Overhead is a gallery containing three rows of seats with places for about 1,000 persons, the whole of which were taken last night. This gallery also runs the whole length of tla.: avenue which forms the entrance into the amphitheatre and also flanks it on each side. The galleries arc divided by pillars into twelve compartments, and are handsomely finished off with evergreens formed into minarets to corre spond with the peculiar architecture of the Palace itself, against which the south end of the amphitheatre abuts. Each compartment forms a broad arch hung with green balsa and tastefully decorated with foliage, while the panels of what may be called the front of these boxes are covered with crimson, bearing the initials V. R., and other devices, and edged with green boughs. This, it is imagined, will be the best place for seeing the Queen. At the entrance of the town, just south of the Hare and Hounds Inn, on the London road, a very handsome rural arch, decorated entirely with foliage and flowers, has been erected after a plan given in to the Committee by Mr. G. Cheesman. It consists of a large arch over the car riage-way, and a smaller arch over the payment on each side. At this spot the high constable and his officers will be stationed to receive and welcome her Majesty. The whole length of the road from this rural arch to the amphi theatre is protected by barricades at every opening, and the vacant places have been all let for carriages to stand in ; on every vacant piece of ground in this line indi viduals have erected temporary platforms and advertised " seats to let," while we have heard of numerous instances where a drawing-room window or a balcony has been let for five guineas. The avenue into the amphitheatre curves considerably to the east; so that persons outside cannot look in, neither can those within see any thjild beyond it. The Royal carriages, owing to this cir cumstance, must be drawn into the very centre of the arena before they can reach the Palace gate ; the effect of this, therefore, will be to give every one present an excel lent view of the Royal cortege. The height of the amphi theatre is about 46 feet, but the avenue is upwards of 60. The whole interior of the amphitheatre, instead of being hung with tapestry, is wainscotted, as it were, with ever greens supplied by different noblemen and gentlemen for forty miles round. The Duke of Norfolk alone sent in ten e aggon loads from Arundel Castle. Contributions of flowers and evergreens have also been liberally made by the following noblemen and ;gentlemen :—The Earl of Chi chester, Lord Gage, Sir George Shiffner, Mr. Tillstone, Mr. W. Campion, Mr. T. Attree, Mrs. Wood, of Chest ham, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Cameron, Mr. Hall, of Henfield, Mr. Borrer, of Hurst, Mr. Borrer, of Ilenfield, Mr. T. Broadwood, of the Holmbush, and Mr. J.

We mentioned last week that a decorative Committee had been formed, consisting of the florists of the town, but we are sorry to say that these gentlemen, who have always been allowed the free use of the Town-hall for their exhi bitions of flowers, have shown their gratitude by suddenly refusing to do anything unless paid for it at the rate of 10s. a day. The Committee very wisely and very properly rejected the proposition. The florists, howe‘er, residing out of the town were not guilty of this meanness, and Mr. Mitchell, of Piltdown, not only supplied 7,000 dahlias, but gave up his time to assist in the general decorations. As her Majesty reaches the rural arch the words " Hail England's Queen" will meet her eye, and on approaching the avenue she will read the feelings of the people ex pressed in the simple greeting, on its northern front, of " Welcome, Victoria." We must give the designer of the amphitheatre (Mr. Fabian) great credit for the skill with which he has ar ranged the staircases, which are four in number, are apart from one another, and have all good approaches. Mr. Fabian has been incessant i❑ his attendance in forwarding the works, the decorative department of which has been confided to Mr. Wood, by whom they have been executed with that taste and decision for which he has justly ac quired a reputation. Yesterday morning the Committee put out the pro gramme, which we subjoin, and we heartily concur in the recommendation it contains, that the population should refrain from closing in upon her Majesty's carriage after it has passed them. The neglect of this suggestion cannot afford the slightest additional gratification to the spectator, but it may be attended with danger to thousands. The equestrian escort will, it is expected, be most numerous and respectable, and its ranks will be filled up by gentlemen from all parts of the country. Enthusiasm is at its height, and we risk nothing, when we add in conclusion, that a hearty and sincere welcome awaits our youthful ruler on her first entrance into this highly-favoured and loyal town. It is understood that the arrival of her Majesty will take place between the hours of four and five. Great prepara tions are nicking for a general illumination in the evening, which promises to be a very brilliant affair. Mr. C. W. Codrington leaves town in a few days on a tour. Lord de Roes has abandoned his intended tour on tl e Continent. L ah Fitzalan, M.P., has arrived in to wn from a o r . ..4; excursion in Scotland.

" The line of reception to extend from the north side of the amphitheatre to the rural arch at the entrance to the town, and thence to Preston. " Barriers are erected at the rural arch, and at all the streets ar.d places leading into the main road from the rural arch to the amphitheatre. " No persons on horsebaCk or in carriages can on any account be admitted within the barriers. " An equestrian procession will meet her Majesty beyond Patcham, and conduct her Majesty to the northern barrier, where they will file off by the roads leading east and west, and no person on horseback or in carriages will be per mitted to follow her Majesty's carriage beyond the northern barrier. " The high-constable and his officers will receive her Ma jesty at the rural arch, and conduct her Majesty thence through the triumphal arch and amphitheatre to the en trance to the palace. " The Members for the borough of Brighton, the Magis trates, and clergy, will be stationed at the amphitheatre. " The various town authorities, friendly and benefit so cieties, and schools, to occupy stations on the west side of the road. " Carriages are to form in a single line on the outside of the road north of the rural arch. " The stations on the western side of the road to be as follows . " North of the amphitheatre, opposite Marlborough place.—Commissioners and their officers. " North of the Commissioners.—Parish-officers, and di rectors and guardians and their officers. " From Marlborough-place towards the rural arch.— Friendly and benefit societies in bodies divided by inhabit ants and visitors. " Next to the Friendly and Benefit Societies.—Fisher men. " At the rural arch.—The town band. "At Preston. The charity schools. " The members of the general committee are requested to meet at the north entrance of the triumphal arch at half past one o clock precisely. " The charity schools are requested to meet at Preston, at two o'clock, and station themselves in single file on the west side of the road. " The friendly and benefit societies are requested to as semble opposite the Pavilion-parade, at two o'clock, before taking their stations ; and members of the committee will meet them there, and proceed with them to their respective places. "To avoid confusion and prevent accidents, the Com mittee earnestly request that the public, placing themselves between the several abovementioned stations, will have the consideration to remain quietly in their places, and on no account attempt to follow the carriage of her Majesty, but continue in their respective situations, thus alloying her Majesty, to pass uninterruptedly within the gates of the Palace. " The members of the Committee will be known on this occasion by wearing a purple sash, and carrying a wand ; and it is hoped that the public at large will condescend to at ,znd to any suggestions such members may have occasion to ma k. a l'or the preservation of good order aiid repligitY7 " T.

THE , ) , UN LON DON, WE DNE„ POST-OFFICE. from Scotland w hil e i t , ‘totland. Th us t h e F ore i gn Corres land, Leland, ant , withheld• parti,..7 l .ly in England and I re l an d ; and thus the intelligence whic h c once n t ra t es in Lon don , and would be diffused by the Morning Press over the kingdom , is shut up for twelve hours daily in 1.02 d 0n, at the n od and 9 r : nrid:vac being of g all expedited Europe ; bidding of coach proprietors and Post-office servants paid enormously by the public. In other words, the Post-office olicials have been hoodwinked, or are wilfully culpable of withholding the just rights and privileges of the people of of England, Ireland, and Scotland, in order to enable the proprietors of coaches running from London, to spurge on the Proprietors of the Periodical Press for payment of such Morning Newspapers as they carry, which Newspapers the right to get free, and the press t o se n d f ree ; wouldd o was there even the sembl a n ce o f informa tion,piseobpol both have a lliberality, or justice, in the management of the Post office. These are my firm convictions--if lam in error— if I have taken an erroneous or ungenerous view of the case, let the post-office tell the public why they do send morning mails, or any mails whatever, without newspapers ifthere be any to send. At present very many of the evening mails may be seen leaving St. Martin's-le-Grand loaded like bag. gage waggons, unmercifully for horses, dangerously f 3 i. p as _ sengers, and disgracefully for a great public department-- which department I have often accused before of gross ig norance or wilful misconduct ; and here repeat the charge that the public may judge between us. Thus the nation has been saddled with no less than three useless mail coaches sent into Scotland alone in July last, rather than fairly try in practice the well-working cheap Irish system, sanctioned by the Treasury, and recommend ed by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Mis management of the Post-office. The coaches I allude to arc, the Second mail coaches from London to Edinburgh and Glasgow, which take no letters or newspapers to these cities—and the Pair mail coach from Edinburgh through Fife. During Sir Francis Freeling's Postmaster-General ship, the rule was to put on, and keep on no mail coach which did not pay—but rather to send mail carts or gigs. I should like to know how the no letter-b ag ma il coaches to Glasgow and Edinburgh pay—and how the profit and loss account would stand between the pair horse mail coach from Edinburgh through Fife, as compared with the ex pense of employing the stage coach. All this arises out of the present system of managing the Post-office, which is absolutely ludicrous. It being partly in the hands of the Secretary to the Post-office, partly in those of the private Secretary to the Postmaster-General, who is also paid by the country, partly under the Treasury, and in a small de gree, unfortunately, under the control, or rather under fear, of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the Post-office ; and all this waste and ab surdity is coolly submitted to by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, rather than follow vigorously up, in proper time, the decision of the House of Commons—to have the office of Postmaster-General placed in Commission. Is the conduct above described worthy of a great depart ment? Does not such pitirul acts as these, and which are to be found in many similar instances, call aloud for an entire change in its administration ? It assuredly does ; and I shall just conclude with stating my firm conviction of the correspondence and morning newspapers of the country being still detained fourteen hours daily in London, our letter postage kept up to its present enormous and incon venient rate, circuitous routes being persisted in, in order to effect a barefaced fraud on the public, by charging post age for delaying in place of expediting their letters, and no practical improvement being made on the principle of put ting down smuggling of letters by stage coach employment to convey letter-bags, so long as the Post-office is under the management of a Postmaster-General and a Secretary, neither of whom were bred up in the department, and of necessity cannot know almost anything of its numerous de tails and practical difficulties ; and therefore must be at the mercy of those who from prejudices and personal interests will continue to mislead them. TO THE INHABITANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, AND, ESPECIALLY, TO THE CON DUCTORS OF THE PERIODICAL PRESS. Kelly, by Greenock, Sept. 18, 1637. Being desirous of publishing widely the following con:- munication from the Posttnaster•General, n ith my own observations thereon, through the medium of the periodic.ii press, with a view to elicit discussion and procur" information before Paeiam.t t assembles, I shall offer no cth,2r apology for using the freedom of forwarding the copy enclosed, than to express my belief of much private comfort, and great public advantage, in facilitating correspondence, being likely to ensue from the general adoption in this great commer cial country of the system alluded to below : General Post-office, July 24, 1837. - - Sir—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th inst., and to inform you that the question whether bags of letters might not be sent by private stage-coaches has been submitted to the Lords of the Treasury, who have ex pressed their opinion that the principle may be safely adopted in any case where it may be deemed expedient, provided the proprietors of the coach will agree to a stipulation in the contract fur the service that the conveyance of the Post-office bags is not to relieve them from the pay ment of the tolls which may be chargeable. In regard to the employment of a regular guard, I cannot give any defi nite answer upon this subject at the present moment ; such an appointment must depend entirely upon circumstances.- 1 have the honour to Ls, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " To Robert Wallace, Esq." " LICHFIELD." I have delayed publishing the above until the elections were over, and the consequent excitement had so far sub sided as to make it probable the attention of the public would be given to a change so manifestly involving the con venience of the people at large ; more especially those resi dent in localities not intersected by great lines of road having mail coaches travelling on them, and such as require more frequent opportunities of correlsondence. I may just remark that at present, mail bags are sent exclugively by mail coaches or carts in England and Scotland, although for many years past the Irish Post-office have dispatched letter bags all over that country, not in mail coaches exclu sively, but by stage carriages of all sorts and descriptions, with perfect security and regularity as respects their con veyance, and with great advantage to the public, the reve nue, and the conveyance of passengers. It will now de pend on the people of Great Britain, whether the boon or cheap and frequent posts, acceded to by the Treasury, and hitherto strenuously opposed by the Post-office department, shall be available or a dead letter. I have every reason to believe that the same obstacles will continue to be thrown in the way of increasing the communications by post as have hitherto been ; and that by one contrivance or other, every attempt will be frustrated by the Pest-office department of sending mail bags, containing letters and newspapers, by stage coaches. The unwillingness of this LAG-A-BAG department to adopt the same system in Britain which has answered so well in Ireland, may be gathered from the fact, of the pub lic being still kept in ignorance of the fiat of the Treasury, in behalf of increased facilities to the commercial world of communicating, frequently and legally, by post, in place of being foreed"to smuggle their letters, as they do at present, in so very many instances, and in such large numbers as they will and ought to do until otherwise better accommo dated with frequent opportunities. Why, let it be asked, have the Post-office not intimated by advertisement all over Great Britain, that the Treasury have decreed in favour of the beneficial policy and practice established by the Irish- ' Post-office and recommended by Lord Duncannon and the other Post-office Commissioners, being extended to this country ? It cannot be on the score of expense—the Post office has not advertised, for it is lavish enough in this re spect when to threaten prosecutions ; and therefore I can see no other reason for withholding the information, but a desire to evade doing anything which will essentially serve the public and save expense, when recommended or sug gested from any quarter without the walls of St. Martin's le-Grand. I may be wrong in this conclusion. Let the proof be the refusal or the granting of increased facilities of communi cating by post through stage coach letter conveyance to all who require it of the Postmaster-General ; as very many towns and villages will do, now that they are informed the want of Posts, or the inconvenience of the hours of the pre sent Post, may be obviated, while inland communication will be increased and cheapened, with benefit to the revenue and without contravening the Postage Law. Let applica cations be made and the result published in the provincial newspapers, and the public will judge justly of the services conferred by its best support, the Press, and of my humble but zealous endeavours to bring the convenience and useful ness of correspondence within the reach of the pecuniary means of the whole body of the people, even the poorest in the land. I have striven for three years past to have the principle of stage conveyance of letter-bags corceded ; the Treasury, it seems, have at length sanctioned it. The Pest-office have concealed it ; and would have kept it secret still, I verily believe, had I not ascertained the fact by direct in terrogatory. In proof of the dogged determination to evade the use of stage coaches, I adduce the following fact :—The inhabi tants of the large, populous, and rich county of Fife, in Scotland, had for years complained of having a tedious and circuitous ►nail coach route for the conveyance of their correspondence and newspapers from London. A capital well appointed four-horse coach, going at mail coach speed, was passing all the while, directly through the centre of the county. Petitions and memorials in abundance were sent to the House of Commons, the- Post-office, and the Trea sury, to have the London letter-bags sent direct from Edin- - burgh by this coach, with the speed and security of which those interested were perfectly satisfied. These memorials and petitions were in part intrusted to myself and presented during the last session. I did all I could do to have their most reasonable prayer conceded, and got a promise that something should be done. Well, something has been done. Tenders were advertised for by tho Post-office, not for taking the letter-bags by stage coaches, but for conveying a mail coach with a pair of horses through the said county of Fife, which had alwelys been refused or evaded when ap plied for before ; and a mail coach has been built on pur pose, and a Guard employed, and now runs in competition with the same very excellent coach, having four horses, be it observed, by which the inhabitants proposed to have the mail bags sent. The Post-office took care to have no ten ders taken for conveying the letter-bags by stage coaches, which I am credibly informed would have carried them, as in Ireland, for a mere trifle, but it took good care to punish the people especially for their presumption, for the postage on letters has absolutely been raised in the locality since the establishment of the Pair Horse Thing, h av i ng Royal Arms on the panneis, and Red-Coated Gentleman behind. VS.—Since the above was in type, I have seen state ments in variGus London Newspapers of the refusal by the Post-office to take Newspapers by the morning mails. The Times distinctly states that the new morning mail for Bir mingham, Chester, Holyhead, and all Ireland, is debarred from taking newspapers. I rejoice to find at last the Post office in open collision with the people. It has for long covertly obstructed all improvements un a great scale, but this is too bad." I believe it is illegal to detain news papers after a mail starts to where they are addressed. The Postmaster-General takes a solemn oath—see the Act— that he will not delay any letter or thing sent through the Post. The-Times newspaper and all others are correspond ence to the extent of all for whom they are addressed through the Post-office. At all events, they are Things. My Lord Lichfield is in good hands—it the intelligence, in fluence, wealth, and spirit of the Morning press of London cannot obtain Liberality and Justice, no class can. I would humbly recommend to that deservedly influential body to put their papers into the Post-office a reasonable and cus tomary time before the morning mails are to start, and fairly try if that department will dare to withhold the then public correspondence and property confided to its official care ; and if they do, I trust the Press will give my Lot d Lichfield the benefit of the opinion of twelve honest Englishmen on the nature of his official duty, and the construction of his oath.—l have the honour to be, with profound revect, your faithful Servant, ROBERT WALLACE. .... Another striking example may be adduced. The Post office Commission had recommended more frequently daily dispatches of letters and newspapers from London than are at present. The Treasury had sanctioned the employment of stage coaches, and I had pressed so constantly on both, that the Post-office folks saw that something must be done. Well, it was decreed that something should be done—and Mr. Labouchere, on the part of the Government, intimated, from his place in the House of Commons, to a question put by me, that two mails would be sent daily to Glasgow and Edinburgh, and to other large towns, when the Railway from Birmingham to Liverpool was opened. I urged in every quarter and in every way I could, to have the excel lent stage coaches which run to York, Manchester, Birming ham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Exeter, Bristol, &c., &c., fairly tried for this service : and the public will stare with amazement when I announce that the reason assigned. by Vie Post-office for declining was, that if these facilities were granted to the large towns mentioned, and to Scot land, every other town in the kingdom would expect and de mand 'the same accommodation ; in other words, the Post office is, according to its own confession, a grinding mono poly, which cannot supply all its customers. My instant reply was that such was my" hope and intention, and that they must all get it whenever properly demanded, for they were justly entitled to every facility. Well, two mail coaches are sent every night at eight o'clock from London to Edin burgh and Glasgow, at the very same hour, cheek by jowl I of each other, the one coach having letter-bags and news papers enough to destroy passengers, horses, and coach, and the ether coach having no mails or newspapers for Odin ' burgh and Glasgow. This has been done to evade sending a . day mail, and is what is considered at the Post-office, as keeping faith with Mr. Labouchere, myself, and the people of Scotland. Mails, instead of stage coaches, as a matter of course, were preferred on the roads to Manchester and Liverpool. These I ascertained were to take the Foreign letters only, which arrive in London in-the morning, and no newspapers. I instantly remonstrated at the Trea sury, and with the Post-office Commissioners, against this absurd waste of public money, and insisted that the said morning mails should be started at an hour to take the London morning newspapers. Here I was again defeated, The session was running rapidly_ to 4 claw, consequently I could get no support in the House of Com mons, and so was obliged to leave London in the conviction of the Post-office having gained its point, of shutting out the use of stage coaches for a time, and entirely excluding the Lowden morning newspapers from their just Sh4rl 3 of circulation, and the people from their lndispntable right of having the very earliest intelligence which can be conveyed, while the public purse is paymaster. Since the close of the session I have been looking attentively at all the Post office movements—and am now thoroughly convinced I had comp to a right conclusion at the very first, and have often expressed it et'Pn io high quarters, as t q the causes of the unwillingness on the part of the Post-office to obey the Treasury in fairly trying stage coach con veyance for mail bags, and serving the people, by dispatching mails at various hours of the day in place of one hour only, which insures the detention of Foreign letters and London moping PPYYTapprs f i o n r i i:t a L o4 o d ndon. The my opinion is, the which fitst and main cause cer tainly would be made on the ease and convenience of the largely overpaid drones who are the moving wires within St, Martin's-le-Grand. The second cause is, Lord Lich field and fiolonel Maberley baying been oiasrreaohid by mail contractors and the great coach proprietors in London, whose interest it is to increase and maintain the expensive mail coach system, with its high mileage, and guards to ev ery coach paid and ciothed by th e country , i n p l ace of adop'ting in lia t, and whoa viper and eonyottiept,' the fai cheaper sys em of sending mail bags by stage coaches.

Professor Sedgwick has written a letter to Mr. Williamson Peile, of Workington, in which he has enclosed a draught for nearly 401., which has been subscribed by the gentlemen forming the meeting of the Geological Section of the British Association, at their late meeting at Liver pool, on his mentioning the brave and generous conduct of a miner named Brennan, who, after having saved four indi viduals front the jaws of death, returned, at the hazard of his own life, to the stables in the mine, and effected the escape of an old man (the father of a large family), who would hare perished but for his assistance. Mr. Sedg wick wished the above-named sum of money to be given to the man, with a suitable address, in the presence of his fellow-workmen, which was complied with on Tuesday by Mr. Peile, who went to Parton Pit, where Brennan is now employed, and, calling the men together, he paid a high compliment to Brennan's c•uitage and humanity, and ex horted his fellow•workmen to follow his example, in cases of similar emergency and danger.—Cumberland Packet.

(Before Mr. TAMLYN.) In the liFt of Bromley St. Leonard the nLtn2 of Mr. George Assendale, who claimed to be registered in right of the freehold house, No. 9, Tavern•cjurt, was unsuc cessfully objected to by the Tories. Mr. John Dickenson, who claimed to be reg'stercd in respect of the freehold house, No. 5, Tavern-cc urc, was also objected to by the Tories without success.

(Before Mr. CRAIG.) THE EXETER-HALL CASE. Mr. CRAIG, after bearing Mr. Grane in support of the claim of the proprietors of Exeter Hall, intimated that he would consider the arguments now adduced by Mr. Grano in connection with the whole case, and give judgment on Friday or Saturday. He at present saw no reason for changing the opinion he on former occasions expressed on the subject ; but if lie should, on consideration, see reason to do so, he should avow it without hesitation. The Courts adjourned at the usual hour. EAST SURREY. Yesterday Messrs. Turner and Brett completed the re vision of the lists of the parishes of St. Mary, Lambeth, Streatham, and Clapham, the first two being taken by Mr. Turner, and the ast by Mr. Brett. The Liberals were re presented by Messrs. Corner and Miller ; and Messrs. Edward Meytnott and Luttley attended on behalf of the Conservatives. (Bcfore Mr. TURNER ) The name of a voter having been strucil off the list on the ground of his having lost his qualification by bankruptcy, and the adjourned cases having been disposed of (which did not possess any interest), Mr. Turner proceeded to revi,e the lists of the parishes he had taken. - (Before Mr. BRETT.) Robert Clements was objected to on Monday by the Con servatives for want of value. This objection, however, was not sustained, when Mr. Meymott further objected that this voter's qualifica tion was wrongly described in the list. It appeared that he derived his qualification from houses, whereas it was de scribed in his original claim and in the list as " house" only. Mr. Corner said it was a mere clerical error, an insertion of the singular for the plural number, which might happen to the most correct transcriber. He contended that, as the Barrister had in one instance during this registration, in a case of change of residence, substituted " Bromwell's•row" for " Clifton-street," he had power to alter the list in this case. Mr. BRETT, having adjourned the consideration of this point, nom decided that he had no power to alter the re gistry as required, and must therefore expunge the name of Mr. Clements, but would recommend him to rectify the error in his next claim. LAND-TA X.—Mr. William Adam Franks, who was re gistered as having a vote in respect of land -tax, purchased under the 42d Geo. 111., cap. 116, sec. 154, (the Land-tax Act), such right to tote being also us it was alleged, recog nised by the 51st Geo. 111., cap. 99, was objected to by Mr. Corner. Mr. S. Williams (who appeared specially to support the vote) contended that this vote could not now be objected to, and he grounded his opinion on the 38th, 39th, and 42d sections of the Reform Act, which, in his view, clearly established the following position—viz., that where it voter's name has been on the list of voters for more than one year, no person except the Overseers has the power of objecting. The Learned BARRISTER gave judgment, and after re capitulating the facts of the case as stated before him, said that, on referring to the several sections of the Act 4'2 Geo. 111., c 116, the distinction between redemption by parties having an interest in the property on which the land tax is charged, and that by persons not having such interest, appeared to him (Mr. Brett) so clear and obvious as not to leave any doubt on his mind as to the correctness of the decision to which he had conic, and in which his Learned Colleague perfectly concurred. The certificate proved that the party redeeming had a lease of the house. He was therefore no tenant at a rack-rent, but was a person autho rised by the Act to redeem the land-tax. Then follows section 123, " having any estate or interest other than an estate of inheritance," which was the section under which claimant's father redeemed, meaning he conceived that when parties having a leasehold interest or estate for life, in the property they had a charge upon the land, for the amount of the money paid for redemption of the land-tax and for payinent of a yearly sum for interest equal to the annual land-tax. This charge was by the express words of the statute made personalty, and there fore is incapable of conferring a vote. He also found that by the 38th George 111., cap. 60, see. 193, all such purchased land-tax (with one exception) was consi dered as personalty. This case appeared to resemble canal and other shares, which had been directed by the statute to be considered as personal property, and have been held not to qualify the holder to a vote—(De/mie's Decisions in Revising. Courts, pp. 285, 386-7.) The 51st Geo. 111., c. 99, seemed also to confirm the view he (Mr. Brett) had taken of the 42d Geo., 111., c. 116, which recognises "the right to vote to be solely in those who have purchased under the 154th section:of the latter statute. The objection taken to the vote was allowed, and the name of Mr. Franks ex punged from the list.

Yesterday morning, according to previous arrangement, the Revising Barristers, Messrs. Tyndale and Bonsanquet, presided in the same Court, for the purpose of deciding upon the claims of Sir Richard Dobson, and others, who are con nected with Greenwich Hospital. The name of Sir Richard Dobson was expunged from the registry on former occasions by the Revising Barristers ; the case consequently excited considerahlo interest. After a protracted examination of the claimant, Mr. 80. BANQUET said—This is a ease of great importance ; and as it has often been decided before, we shall reserve it for con sideration,--Decision accordingly reserved. (Before Mr. BO3ANQUET). ST. PAUL, DEPTFORI).—Wra. Anderson stood upon the overseer's list as qualified for a house in Chatsworth-build ings. no was objected to. The decision of the Barrister was reserved until the ad journed day. EAST KENT. RAMSGATE, OCT. Barristers, Messrs. RYLAND and CHAMBERS, took the lists of the parishes in this ds triet here to-day. (Before Mr. CHAMBERS.) The name of Nicholas William Comerford was objected to by Mr. Daniel, on the part of the Conservatives, It was urged that the party had sent in his claim for a rental of property, whereas his claim in reality was from a freehold.. The claimant was examined, and admitted this, Lot stated that he considered he had sent in his claim pro perly, as the freehold was let to another party, and that as he had sect in the nami of OA tenant to the overseer, it could not be conaiklers; . !l tbat he (the claitoagt) was the occupier, The CC,VRT said, that as the Lrlns rental of property were equivocal,, t 1 might, *possibly mean f ree h o ld, an d as the part , . j diming: aau - sent in Vie name of his tenant, it was es dent there was no deeepfon intended to be prac ticed ; gttcl the '4et of another party being stated to he in pos: , ssion, also led the objecting parties to the nature of the (041lAcation claimed fr9tp, The description was not one for which another was sought now to be , uu.stituicd, and the Court would therefore arw,:•i but whre t I:ed bren pieced on the list.—Vote retained. _ The name of James Rymer was then objected to by the Conservatives. The party claimed from a freehold which had been de. vised in trust for his wife, and after her death to be divided amongst her children, she having the power during her life to reside on the premises, or to have them lot for her profit.—Namo retained. No other case possessing peculiar interest occurred. IMPORTANT CASE TO THE INHADITA:STS OF WATER ING TOWNS.—The name of Frederick James Percival was objected te, by Mr. Gaskell on . the part of the Liberals, on the ground that although, ne paid more than 501. a-year to hill. - andlord for a hoe in Albion-place, yet his occupation bf the premises gad not been continuous. Mr. Sarr;:uel Watkins sworn and examined.--I am thft landlQ,7-a of the house claimed from by Mr. Vercival, for vinich he pays me more than L(ti. a-year. Mr. Pereivia sometimes leaves it for two months or six week, and lets kt to other persons, but always retains one or ttc.o roonv:„ of which I have the key, but I should always ask permis sion of the person to whom the house is let to i;o into those rooms. Mr. Gaskell contended that this was nof a s._ufficient oc cupation. The Barrister said that he coreidered in this ca , e the qualification had not been prove:?, as it had been admitted by the lanjlord of the premis s that he should ask permis sion on the part of the claimant to enter the rooms, of which he retained the key from the party who tenantt•d the house in claimant's absence ; the section 20 of the Act provided that the party claiming as Mr. Percival did intit be in ac tualpossesslon. Now what actual possession was had been recently interpreted in " Rex v. St. Nicholas, Richcster," and " Rex v. St. Nicholas, Colchester." .It was in those cases laid down that the term actual must. have great force, or there could be no use in the introduction of the term whatever in a statute—and that if a person let a room to another for a certain time, the tenant could exclude thu person who let it to him from it. It was clear that thr_re had been such a letting in the present instance, and tk a t us the claimant had not actual possession of the premi ses i n question for the term required by the Act, must ex punge the name from the list. ANOTHER IMPORTANT CASE OF REN:TERS AT WATER ING-PLACES.—The name of Francis Potter Beaumish was objected to by the Reformers, on tl; e ground that altough be rented a house, and paid for r koccupying it) more than 301. a-year, yet that it was fz'amisited, and that a part of the sum being paid for the ILie of the furniture, the claimant did not pay a bona fide rent of 301. a year. Mr. Daniel, for the Conservatives, urged that the claim must be held to be a good one, for in the case of New man v. Andertoa and Spencer's case, in 2d New Reports, 224, it was laid down in reference to the law of restraint, " that if such apartments be let furnished, a distress may issue wholly out of that part of the demieil premises which► belongs to the realty." Ile would contend. therefore, tisat the furniture in the present instance fortn,:d part of the premises, which were rented, as it could be distrained. The-Court asked for the cases in which an abstl-att, had been handed in. Mr. Daniel said, that unfortunately the Ist of the New Reports, which contained the case referred to, *},e could not produce, as the gentleman who had it was ab.,ent ; but he had handed in the printed abstract quoted in a work in re ference to the law of distraint ; and the case be alluded to had been deemed conclusive in reference to the point in question by Revising Barristers. The claimant, on examination, then proved that he paid 751. a-year for these premises. Mr. Gaskeil, far the Liberals, contended that it the claim were allowed it would open the door to fagot votes. The Barrister said that he was inclined to retain the name on the list. The case was one of some difficulty, as he had not seen the whole of the case the abstract from which quoted from new Reports had been handed to him. The clause of the R4orm Act, on which the C3SC depended, demanded that the qualification of the claimant in such a case should be bone fide, an d b e considered that the Legislature, in using the terms, meant something more than a technical liability, —that it meant a substantial equitable liability in respect to the lands and tenements occupied. Now, in the present case there was the liability fur the rent of a tenement with something added to it, and to the latter the term rent was not applicable ; but as his predecessors held that the name should be retained, having the case before them to which he had referred, and as he had not the opportunity of see ing that case (Spence►'s) in detail, he would allow the name to remain on the list, especially as it was the only one that claim d from a similar qualifiea ion, and thus he thouglit that no great harm could ensue, but he hoped it woulo. not go abroad that he considered it to be a good claim ttzder all circumstances. (Before Mr. RYLAND.) No case of importance occurred, except that which was decided by the opinion of Mr. Chambers on an analogous one, to which we have referred above. The Barristers at three o'clock adjoy.rned the Court to Sand►►ich, where they will revise the lists to-morrow. SUBSTITUTE FOR INDIGO. Public attention has been latterly attracted in France by the reported perfection to which the discovery of a substi tute for indigo has been brought, and by the establishment of dye-works on a large scale for applying the process to the dying of wool and woollen cloths, for which it is more especially suited. It appears that so far hack as the pub lic exposition of the protiucts of art and industry for 1834 two pieces of kerseytnere were exhibited amongst the as sortment of cloths from the manufactory of M. Cunin Gri daMe, ens of the largest and most reputed amongst the French woollen manufacturers, which were dyed upon the new principle. The cloths were purposely collected, it is said, of a strong make and extremely close texture, so as to test the virtue of the dyeing matter more com pletely. The result is stated, according to the report of the jury or council, to have been entirely successful, a beautiful even colour being produced—the one piece be ing of a light, and the other of a deep blue, of superb lustre. Tnis discovery was the fruit of eight years' ex periments and research by the authors, Messrs. Merle and INlalartic, dyers at Bordeaux, who, previous to this public exhibition, had already devoted a portion of their premises to this particular process. Subsequently, with the help of M. Poncet, an ingenious chymist and pupil of the celebrated Baron Thenard, they appeared to have improved the quality of their material and simplified the mode of its application ; and the three in partnership have formed a considerable establishment at St. Denis, near Paris, which has now been several months in activity. This new product is called French blue (blue de France), and its advantages are thus described:-Ist. Its colour, in all its shades, is of very superior beauty to any thing yet known. 2d. It is perfectly unchangeable by air, acids, soaps, &c. 3d. It never whitens at the seams, like indigo. 4th. It dyes in or penetrates the piece in the most perfect manner, which cannot be done with indigo. sth. It pre:, serves the qu lity of the cloth with all its softness and suppleness, without in any way altering the texture or nap. Gth. It facilitates the reproduction of the sane shades, which is so difficult with indigo. 7th. Its results ia theit execution are so sure, th a t an exac t estimate y be i made beforehand of the expense and product., Bth. It offers value of indigenoustlic raw ra a very considerabl e sav i ng upoi‘is;l::l,elob is s an material (prussiate of potash), product of moderate price, snaceptible of reduction to a value still less, and by which, according to the quality of the cloth, it may be dyed at from 25 to 50 per cent. less expense than from indigo. 9th. It is said to be of great advantage for furuiture, carriage, and livery cloths, and for tartans, merinos, cachemeres, Sze., on account of the su perior clearness and lustre of its colours. 10th. It pro duces an economy of 12 to 15 per cent. in the manufac ture of the cleth, by the solid application of the colouring matter in piece, which has only been effected till now in black and scarlet. Such are the large results promised by this discovery, which appears to be looked upon by the parties originating it, as well as by several of the first woollen manufacturers of France, a list of whom as having ottsu the es their their goods dyed with it is given , for rderence, as literally likely to render Franceindependent . of foreige. countr i es for o P t e e h description, the amount of 20,000,000 francs per aeltutn.
