PLACKBURN. Crrom the Blackburn Gazette of Wodnesday.) REVISION OF The result uf 4 11 a Dir 1 :v. 3611 ~' vision of the List of 'tdters for the LI TS. Borougb Ri- , , . scr —,ackoutti s sutn, we are happy to say, as to 7:., the most unfeigned gratification to the Reform party. Notwithstanding the 95 objections made by the Torun 'IC ReforMers placed upon the List by the Overseer,—and the unceasing etorts they have made to sustain them, yet it will be found, from the following analysis, that the result of the revision is—a gain of '22 votes to the Liberal cause ! OBJECTIONS. By the Reformers, 30—Sustained, 10—Remain on the List, 20 By the Tories, 59—Sustained, 15—Remain on the List, 44 Total Remaining on the List 64 Struck off 25 Number . originally on the Objection List 89 CLAIMANTS. Reformers B9 Unsuccessful 47 Sustained... .. 42 Tories Remaining on the List 57 Struck off B2 Number originally on the List of Claimants 139 Gain to Reformers on the List of Claimants 27 Deduct lost on the List of Objections ...... 5 Gain to the Retention We forbear commenting Upon this gratifying statement. It speaks for itself ) and affords an ample confirmation of the opinion we have long entertained—that in spite of Tory trickery and undue influence, the Reform cause will ulti mately have a glorious triumph in this borough. WEST RIDING VOTERS IN THE PARISH OF HALIFAX. (From the .Halifar Express of Wednesday.) It appears that the Tories made 827 objections, and the Liberals only 178. It also appears that the Tories, although they made nearly five times as many objections as the Li berals, did not sneceed in sustaining half so many as were sustained by their opponents. The total number of votes struck off the lists was 587, which shows a balance of 391 in favour of the Tories ; but from this must, in fairness, be deducted the cases of trustees and Dissenting ministers, which have been, in many other counties, and we think justly, admitted as good votes. The Liberals thus disfran chised were 229, and the Tories only 15, leaving a balance of 214 to deduct from the 391, and thus reducing the num ber in favour of Toryism to 177. In sixteen of the town ships, the Liberals have obtained an increase of 455, and the Tories of 85 only. In these townships 68 are returned as doubtful ; so that, if all these be thrown into the Tory scale, there will be a clear gain of 302 to the Liberal party. And yet, notwithstanding this fact, the Leeds Intelligencer, on Saturday last, had the assurance to insert the following parraph :—« .Th ere ar e a b ou t 900 voters i n t h e b orough of Halifax, one-third of which are objected to. The Li berals, we understand, still continue to show their violent party spirit, and are sadly chagrined at the result of the re vision for that district.' Surely the Intelligencer cannot expect its own party to give credence to such glaring false hoods ; and as to its imposing upon any of the Liberals, its character for mendacity is too notorious. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg are expected at Brighton with the Court at the end of this month. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, with her children, has joined the Duke, her husband, at Rotenkirchen. The Duke of. Devonshire seems to have withdrawn himself entirely from the turmoil of politics. After return ing from Chatsworth he will take up his abode at Brighton, from whence, according to present arrangements, he will proceed to the Continent, and be absent during the greater part of the spring. Lord and Lady . William Bentinck, after a tour of the German watering-places, proceeded to Paris, where they have been entertained by the King and Queen of the French. They are expected to arrive soon from the Con tinent, on their way to the Duke of Portland's seat, Wel beck Abbey, Notts, in which county the Noble and Gallant Lord's estates are situated. Viscount and Viscountess Howick are on a visit to Earl and Countess Grey, at Howick Hall, and will not re turn until the Cabinet re-assembles. During his Lord ship's absence the routine duties of his office of Secretary at War are transacted by the Deputy Secretary, Mr. Sullivan, assisted by the First Clerk of the Department (Mr. Lukin). The Duke of Wellington, as Chancellor of the University of Oxford, will receive her Majesty on Monday, on her visit to that ancient sent of learning, and will return again to Walmer Castle, to entertain a party of friends. His Grace will remain at Walmer for some weeks longer, a succession of Tory Peers and Commoners having been in vited to partake of his hospitality, before he proceeds to Strathfieldsay, where he will spend the Christmas holidays. Lord Kenmare, who has resigned the Lord Lieute nancy of the county of Kerry, is a Catholic Peer and Tory, though not much known in the political world, as he resides almost constantly at his seat near the lake of Kil larney, and not far distant from Derrinane, the residence of Mr. O'Connell. The successor of Lord Kenmare has not yet been appointed, but he will not be either a Tory or an Orangeman. When an ancestor of the present Duke of Bedford was applied to by his tenantry in Covent-garden parish, requesting him to provide them with a church suitable to the population of the parish, his Lordship spoke to Inigo Jones on the subject, and jocosely desired him to build a barn for the parishioners, for their accommodation, to hear divine service. The great architect said, " I certainly shall, my Lord, but it shall be the handsomest barn in Europe ;" and the building of a most beautiful church was the result. Sir T. D. Acland, Bart., has left England on a cruise to the Mediterranean, in his beautiful yacht the Lady of St. Kilda. The New Orleans Bee hints pretty . strongly that the Attorney -General and Judge of the Criminal Court are simultaneously going to procure writs de lunatico inquirendo against each other. - The death of the Rev. Dr. Nicoll, Principal of the united Colleges of St. Salvador and St. Leonard, in the University of St. Andrew's, will, it is expected, lead to the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Gillespie, Pro fessor of Humanity in that University, as his successor. Dr. Gillespie is not only an eminent and accomplished scholar, but as universally beloved for his kind disposition and agreeable manners, as he is admired for his genius and eloquence. The office is in the gift of the Crown, and no man is more deserving of any favour. Ministers can bestow than Dr. Gillespie, whose exertions have contributed greatly to the triumph of the Liberal cause in that part of the country. Dr. Gillespie-was first the assistant, and after wards the successor of Dr. Hunter, well-known to all scholars for the originality of his views respecting language, and his admirable editions of the Classics ; and Dr. Gil lespie's own writings have not a little contributed to the reputation of the University. We trust these circum stances will not be overlooked by those who have the dis posal of this patronage.—Morning Paper. South Carolina has 'already completed the longest railroad now in operation in any part of the world. It ex tends from Charleston to Hamburgh, oath° Savannah river, opposite to Augusta, a distance of Mk miles. It was commenced in 1830, and was opened for use throughout in 1833.—Mining Journal. KING'S COLLEGE.—The introductory lecture upon the English language and literature was delivered yesterday by Professor Dale, in the lecture-room of the College. The object of the Professor was principally to point out the line of study which would be pursued in the ensuing course of lectures. Previous to this, the Professor com menced by some introductory observations upon the study of English literature. It was a study which might be con tinued during life, and could not at once be appreciated by the intellect in embryo. In his succeeding lectures, that which was useful in the language would be more dwelt upon than that which was ornamental. The attention of the junior classes would be directed to the principles and prac tice of English composition. The senior class would be in structed in the philosophy of the English language, and in a historical and philological account of English literature. After some further observations respecting the mode of in struction, the Professor concluded a most interesting lec ture, amidst the loud applause of a numerous and respecta ble audience. LOSS OF HIS MAJESTY'S FRIGATE CHAL LENGER.—Portsmouth, Oct. 14.—The Conway frigate is just arrived from Rio de Janiero, which she left on the 31st of August, with 2,000,000 dollars on board, on account of merchants, and with the Officers and ship's company of the Challenger, which was wrecked on the coast of Chili on the 15th of May. The whole of the ship's company were saved with-the exception of Mr. Gordon, midshipman, and one seaman, and were taken off the coast (where they were in danger of being attacked by the hostile Indians for 27 days) by the Blond:frigate. AERIAL TRAVELLING.—A NEW IDEA.—In a lecture upon anatomy and surgery, by Mr. Dermott, at the Medical School, Soho, the lecturer, in speaking of the pecu liar construction of birds, thus alluded to the possibility of using wings as a new means of travelling :—" Now it ap pears to me only necessary for man to make himself specifi cally lighter than he is, which could be done by his enveloping himself in receptacles of hydrogen gas, which could surround him as a sort of balloon jacket, if I may use the expression, He could also, if necessary; in order to make the head the lighter part, perhaps ha%'e something o 1 the same sort attached im mediately above the head, and adapted to it as a sort of balloon cap. Then, I think wings, constructed. of light materials and sufficiently large, under the muscular manage ment of the arms, could be rendered efficient. At least, it he could not make his errands of business in this way against the current, he could take, if he chose, his aerial excursions of pleasure." DINNER TO MR. 1--IUME.-:! • Reformers ll uwine e of ha _ L s i vac cepted an invitation to dine Nvitii I,` pool, who wished to evince their respect for the ti0n0..... able Member, and to express their admiration of the zeal, industry, and indomitable perseverence displayed in his parliamentary career, and the more especially to thank him for the detection and exposure of that most flagrant abuse, the existence of Orange Lodges in his Majesty's army. THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND AND CO.—Ex tract of a letter received lately from Dresden, and written by an English traveller :—" No English Ministers attended the Congress at Toplitz, but their place was much better filled by the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Gordon, and Lord Roden. After having disposed of all Continental matters, a conference took place on English affairs, and particularly on the reforms now going on in the Administration of the Bri tish Constitution—a subject which the studies of the Kings and Emperors had peculiarly fitted them to understand. On this•occasion Lord Roden, who was chosen by the two other Plenipotentiaries to be their spokesman, entered largely into the question of the spoliation of Churches and other abomi nations now practising in the British House of Commons, and he ended a most eloquent oration by requiring that, as the alliance of the Sovereigns present had been instituted especially for holy purposes, the Orange Association should be admitted into it as a party on the principle of a common s cause ; that is to say, that the Association should in all cases of European intervention be ready to assist the Sovereigns with the forces at their disposal ; the Sovereigns, on - their part, guaranteeing to the Church of Ireland the enjoyment in`perpetuity of their present revenues. It is reported that the three Monarchs seemed rather taken-a-back at this pro posal, and stood for a while mute ; but his Lordship becoming urgent for an answer, one of the great Ministers, with his, usual frankness, gave it him as follows My good Lord, this is a delicate matter in which we do not know how we can decently interfere for the fact is, that not very long ago (1803), at the request of our neighbour the Emperor of Austria, and with the help of our 'friend the Emperor of Russia, we abolished Sixteen Sovereign Bishoprics, and Seventy Abbeys and Convents, and divided their lands and money among ourselves. What would you have mole ?" BETTERS BY STEAM TO SCOTLAND.—The transmission of letters to and from Scotland by steam-ships has now became very prevalent ; and we understand the letters increase in number as the privilege gets generally known. With the exception of the ports of Dundee, Leith, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, all the other shipping places in Scotland are minus steam-vessels to this metropolis, and therefore the London correspondence with those ports is still transmitted per the mail ; but we learn that early next spring the port of Inverness will have to be added to the above steam-ports, a splendid new steam-ship of powerful dimensions, named the Duchess of Sutherland, being almost ready. Dundee is to have a third steam-ship ; and it is re ported that Arbroath and Montrose are to have steam communication with London in the course of next year. As formerly mentioned, letters can be forwarded in steam or private vessels to all ports in Great Britain and Ireland, at a postage rate of eightpence each letter, the previous payment of which is optional with the sender ; but all let ters wished so to be forwarded must be marked on the en velope " Per steam ;" otherwise they will, as formerly, be sent by the mail. The revenue of the Post Office, as a matter of comese, will be diminished by this new arrange ment, but not to an extent that will be felt. CURIOUS SERMON.—This day being the 16th of October, a sermon will be preached in St. Catharine Cree's Church, Leadenhall-street, provision having been made for the same in the will of Sir J. Gager, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1646. The sermon is in commemoration of his happy and extraordinary deliverance from a lion, met by him in a desert when travelling in the Turkish dominions, which suffered him to pass without q injury or molestation. For preaching the sermon the Minister is to have twenty shillings, the clerk two shillings, and the sexton one shil ling. The sum of Si. 16s. 6d. is likewise to be distributed among the necessitous inhabitants, pursuant to the will of Sir John Sparrman. Among several instances of the same nature, mention is made of a person who, having been thrown down by a lion, and wounded in several places, was after all generously left with life. The Parliamentary trustees pn the river Clyde have .offered a premium of 100 guineas for the best practical mode of preventing accidents from the imperfect construc tion of steam-engine machinery. Another 1001. is to be divided amongst the unsuccessful candidates who invent something worthy of attention.—Mining Journal. THE GIN PALACES.—The means of distinction among the worthies of the dram-shops seem to be almost exhausted—so much so, that one of the gin-palace pro prietors, residing in the Blackfriars-road, has caused one of the largest brass-plates to be executed that, perhaps, was ever seen—it weighs upwards of one hundred weight, and is somewhat more than four feet square. An index hand is engraved upon it, pointing to the " Bottle department."' The expense of this bauble alone is worth nearly 501. The eye, being a material organ, of course has a limit, beyond which it cannot see ; but the range is greater than any length which we can determine ; and we have an easy means within that range of finding the rate at which the action of light is propagated. We can observe the planet Jupiter in two different positions of the earth's orbit ; in the one of which we are the whole diameter of the orbit of the earth, or about 190,000,000 of miles, nearer to Ju piter than in the other. We can also calculate the time at which the eclipses of Jupiter's moons begin and end ; and this we can do, referring them to a common centre. Now it is found, by actual observation, that when the eclipse is observed from the longer distance, it happens about. 16 min. 26 sec. later in time than when it is observed from the shorter distance. The part of the eclipse which is chosen for this purpose is the instant that the moon emerges from the shadow of Jupiter, and it is evident that the above mentioned minutes and seconds are the time that the light of the satellite requires to travel across the earth's orbit, and if we divide the diameter of the orbit by the seconds, we find that the propagation of light is at the rate of about 192,000 miles per second. We cannot accurately observe a much shorter time than the fifth of a second, and during that time light advances 38,500 miles, or rather more than equal to 1i times round the earth.—From 2 The Earth, a little volume, by R. Mudie. _ _ _ TALE OF WOE.—Of the numerous calamities that occur in private life, unnoticed by the world and uncheered by its sympathy, we have seldom heard of anything more truly touching than what follows. From motives of delicacy we conceal names : but the statement, however mournful, can be established by the testimony of the most respectable witnesses, and is unfortunately, we regret to say, too true; A respectable gentleman, residing in Edinburgh, young, handsome, and robust, beyond the great bulk of his contem poraries, married a few years ago a lady who belonged to the west of Scotland, by whom he had three lovely children. The parties were equally mated beyond the the common lot ; the fruits of • successful industry cheered the family hearth, and in the opinion of a wide circle of friends, few unions that ever were formed bade fairer to realise what we all aim at, however varied our abilities and exertions—competence, contentment, anti an extended length of happy days. But, alas ! alas ! how fallacious are the hopes upon which we so often build—how wedded to the present, and blind to the future. One of the three children mentioned sickened and died ; a second also sickened and ere the turf had time to wither on the first sufferer's remains, two little brothers slept in the same grave. Bereavements so painful, affected in some degree the health of the mother, and%oth for her own and surviving child's sake, she was advised by her me dical attendant to remove to Rothesay, in the hope that both would derive benefit from a change of air, and the avoidance of those east winds which blow so piercingly on the east coast of Scotland, during a considerable portion of the year. The advice was taken, but with no advantage to the survivir , innocent, which in its turn also sickened and died before the afflicted mother could return to her home, or per haps apprise her husband sufficiently of its danger. The now childless father hurried to the spot, and after the fune ral, took a mournful farewell of his spouse, to attend some pressing affair of business. But he lingered too long on the threshold, missed by a brief space, the steam or track-boat, and run so fast to overtake it that he overheated himself, and ruptured a blood-vessel. In this state he returned to Edinburgh, and notwithstanding the greatest care, and the best medical advice, declined visibly every day. His lady also returned to Edinburgh, and ere long was confined of a fourth child. Three days after this event she earnestly requested that she might see her husband, who being now too weak to walk, was carried into her presence. His complaint in the end assumed the form of a rapid de cline, and his wife was so, horrified by the change of a coun tenance upon which death had already set his seal, that she uttered a loud shriek. shuddered violently, and in a few mi nutes became so frantic, that nothing short of force pre vented her from rising, and running about the house, and perhaps injuring both herself and the unconscious babe that half an hour before had nestled so placidly in her bosom. Still it was impossible to stifle her cries—cries which so dis tressed the husband that be was removed in mercy to the house of a friend, where he breathed his last, on Sunday, the 13th current. His widow survives, but we grieve to add, suffers so violently from the'effects of the sudden convulsion that overthrew her reason, that her conditiol is more - volting than death itself.--Ayr Observer, SPORTING INTELLIGEIN‘i,..

Out country man Mr. Upton had barely time to flee on board, letlving his books in his counting-house, which were thrown into the street and destroyed. The Indians wore seen firing from the windows of the American consul's house at the English marines stationed at Mr. Campbell's opposite, and the United States flag was torn up. It was supposed that the slaoghter must have been im mense, as the motto of the Indians has been " extermina tion of the whites," and a more compJe!.o sack of any city probably never took place than in this iesic:ince. The brigs Malta and George were bou n d for L. Horse, full of passengers. T he British sloo p of war Race. Horse, with all the English merchants on board, was bound ti.'r the same place in a few days. The Indians bad about 150 to 200 armed men. Tim President hid 300 men under him, ready for service, and several pieces of artillery which were left unspiked, and were fired from by the natives a t. the whites in,their retreat. The British and Portuguese vesoels of war each landed from 90 to 100 men to assist the t zuthorities, but seeing their pusillanimity, they embarked again . for their vessels.— American Paper.

SALMON FISHERIES.—We understand that the introduced in 1834, for altering the close time, and ef beenortant under consideiation of a select h commit fecting other im changes. in Salmon Fiseries in Scotland, ,‘,. p c . se of Comnrons, along with the resolutions tee of the HO rent parts, and information obtained of meetings in n , ;.5e e result was the introduction of a new from all quarters.

All bag nets, stake nets, &c., whether in the sea, 6rths, or any other situation for catching salmon, must be left open and inoperative from 6 o'clock on Saturday evening' till 6 o'clock on Monday morning similar to Cruives. And af ter the close time commences, there are to be 21 day; al lowed for rod fishing on rivers. These and other regrn a- tions are likely to render this a most important and bene ficial measure for the Scoi'th Fisheries, and we have no doubt of its passing into a law the amended and. matured shape in which it now appears.—,Scots Times. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 2.--The crop of opium here this season has been abundant, in spite of the mono poly, and Government has already sold 340,000 chequees at the price of 100 piaste rs per chequee. The demand is almost exclusively, for America and Holland, and I do not see any taken that appeArs to be for England.. The crop altogether exceeds 200,06'0 chequees, and had .1 - te article been free it would have been* much greater. The revenue Government derives from thismonopoly cannot be / Dore than 60,0001., although they coopel the cultivators to give them the opium at .52 piastres pci• chequee, or little more than half the value, and it is a pity'i.hat the inhabitants of a large, populous, and industrious di;:trict should be dis gusted for such a trifle,.whilst a moderate tax on the self same article left free would produce a larger seta. Nor is this all to be complained of ; the managers of the monopoly A re partial in the administration, so that one merchaut can, and ;mother cannot buy, just according to their caprice. I know a I NTehat who wanted opium to the value of 2,000 1 . but, thouglt e offered the same price as the others, he could not get it. Another wanted to invest 500/. or 6001., and he was told with a sneer that Government did not sell in retail. This is a serhies grievacce, as there are many establishments here who have even s maller sums to employ in the drug, and who decidedly object to supplying them selves from the' smugglers. They might probably do so, however, without danger, as I verily believe that the cor rupt administrators themselves are the chief smugglers ; and that having, in the name and at the- price of Govern ment, got opium to a large extent for their own accouot, they wish to draw the small purchasers into their own net. The whole system cannot too soon be reformed. It is ruinous to the country, and discourages both cultivators and traders, enriching merely the director of the monopoly and his minions. The former has already amassed a pretty little fortune of thirty millions of piastres. ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 30.—" The receipts of the Imperial treasury Are f a r from improving. The cus toms produced 1,400,000 yubles less during the first six months of 1835 than durit;3 - the same period in 1834. On the other hand, the expenso of the administration are increased, and will amount this y os ar to about 91 per cent. of the gross product, so that we may expect to see this branch of revenue reduced to 76,000,000 rubles in 1835. The poll tax of the Southern Governments 1 , - .resents also a diminution of nearly 800,000 rubles during i ; . lle first six months of 1835, and the tax on brandies has suffered a diminution of 900,000. The falling off in the m ines, salts, and stamps, is less remarkable. The articles ou which compensation was expected has 'only increased to' 4 or 500,000 rubies. These results are so much the ami - e ca lamitous, as the expenses of the treasury follow in inverse progression. According to the most moderate calculation. the expense of the review of iinliach amounts to 16,000,000 rubles, independently of the 10,0A,G00 which it cost the Emperor out of his private purse exelus,!ve also of' s the ex* p e nscs incurred by the localit:es of the troosport by ea an cannot d the encampment and subsis tence money. We , therefore, be astonished if the Minister of Finance is not able to perform his promise as to the quantum of redemp tion of the National Debt, the sinking - fund of which will be diminished by at least 8,600,000 rubles. The situation of foreign commerce cannot conso le or compensate the fi 17,!tncial deficit. In the first six Months of 1834 the ports, i n d eb ,d, received 128 more ships than in the same period of 1833, buy a falling off of 80 was expei-ieneed in the corre sponding per:Zltl of 1835. Independentli of the evidence produced by the decrease of the Customs, it appears also from the accounts o fthese six months that tits exports have not been in the ordina r y p ro p ortion, and th.lt, without speaking of corn and seeds , there would be a tota: decrease of about 18,000,000 rubles, compared with the r,-evious year. An amelioration was expected in Asiatic comtlerce, but this also is diminished by 950,000 rubles. BrOliant expectations had been formed relative to the prosperity' of the military colonies, and that famous creation of Alexander and Arakcheff has failed. It is even certain that the co lonization has produced disastrous results in every point of v iew—agricultural, military, and political. Whatever be the care of the Russian Government to dissemble the evil, the truth cannot be concealed. It is known that the colo nies of infantry in the Government of Novogorod arc not in a condition to supply 12,000 men, and the cavalry have not 10,000 at their disposal. Thus the reports of the Rus si.an armies, which give between 66,000 and 70,000 men from thd colonies, are exaggerated by two-thirds."—Ga ligwozis hiessener. B ED S TO WIT.—AII old country gentleman, Ivho seldom Wanders from his native bowers further than a day's hunting or shooting takes him, lately came up to town to pay his respects to a noble relative of his, when he was corn plitnented by being put in the best bed. The enormous height of his couch not a little alarmed the old gentleman, and it was some time before his man could get him safely lodged between the sheets. " What o'clock would you like to get up, Sir ?" asked John on retiring ; " Get up !" exclaimed the squire, " Get down you mean—and once safely on my legs, if ever I g et into this bed again; m a y I be bed-ridden all my life.
