The present plan of registering voters is a scheme of the authors of the Refonri Act. It is intended to facilitate the exercise of the right of voting, and to keep that right el:clusively in the hinds of the electors constituted under the Act. The principal object, however , was to en force and secure the limitations of t' he franchise. It must be admitted that it h Is facilitated taking the poll.. The Reform Act ,by register ing the voters, has prevented disputes and im proper personation, riot, and turbulence. Nu merous as have been our riots at Nottingham, Carlisle, Dublin, Waterford, &c., there would have been more confusion and distu?bance, had there been no registration of voters. So far the registration of voters has been useful, but its be neficial results might probably have been ob tained by a much simpler system of registration, could such a system have .been connected with the varied franchises which the Reorm Act left in existence. The other intention of the framers of the scheme has also been effectual. Th.?, limitations to the franchise, with the exception of creating fictitious qualifications, against which no system of registration can guard, have been enforced. Lawyers have been engaged to see them put into execution, and party warfare, under the guidance of paid agents, has been carried, 1)y the advice of the great Conservative leader, into the 'Registration Courts. The Tories have f ought their battles there with success. From th is part of the scheme a consequence has ensued which neither its authors nor the public antic ipated. The political rights of the community ha. Te been placed at the mercy of jobbing attorneys. We see a long list ofLiberal voters registered at fo - r mer and present elections, from which it result.; that the contest between principles of Govern) nent has been mainly decided by the skill of To ry agents in placing partisans on the register, and the neglect of Whig agents in performing t ;he same duty. The people, it appears from this, c annot do it for themselves. The system is so cmmbrous and complicated that they cannot secure: by their own exertions the rights the Constitution intended to bestow, nor protect themselves against the craft of the wily attorneys of their political oppo nents. From this circumstance it is to be inferred that the present system of registration is erroneo us " and it will becom e some of the Lib eral lembers to devise and bring forward a p lan f or in iprovin g the registration. L et them teach the Tories h ow to make good and use ful laws. That the voters should be registered is indispensible t • O the easy and peaceable exercise of their rights; , but they should be enabled to ensure their own registra tion without the assistance of a lawyer, or puttin g themselves to much inconvenience. It seems to us a misapprehension of the nature of the points to be ascertained to appoint lawyers of any de- Scription to revise registers. Revising Barristers and Courts of Revision are a mistake. The rights to be settled are not complicated rights of pro perty, but mere occupancy, residence, and rate paying, which the overseer of a parish should be competent finally to decide, without the assist ance of professional men. We trust that some in dependent Member will at once turn his atten tion to the subject, with a view of simplifying and improving registration, which is a very useful part of 'the Reform Act. We learn from Manchester that a National Conference of Ministers of all religious denomi nations, on the subject of the laws restricting the food of the community, is to be held in Manchester, commencing Tuesday, August 17, 1841. This has been brought about principally by the instrumentality of Mr. GEO. THOMPSON, who has already made himself celebrated by his advocacy of the cause of the slave in both he.. mispheres. He convened a meeting by a circu lar, o; which the following is a passage : The aspect of public affairs, at this juncture, is fear fully ominous of collision and animosity between the different classes of the community, and seems to demand the prayerful interposition and co-operation of all who desire the peace of our population, and the prosperity of the empire. Our consultations have brought us to the unanimous conclusion, that the attention of the religious public should be immediately directed— To the effects of the monopoly in food ; To the principles upon which the law of that mono polY is based ; and TO the most legitimate and Christian means of obtain _ ing an equitable settlement of the question, without ~,, ,c l 2a l convulsion , and__ without . injury to the just , interests 1-, )._. `Vi ..., , r, ill, r !.a,s,.‘ t our fellow-citizens. r‘'' . ,'''''r - -We P l3; " ei ght ministers attended the meeting, Al'' ;41,-k : 4r who came to a unanimous resolution that a con ference was desirable, and that it should be held between the 15th and 22d of August. A Com mittee, appointed to carry the resolution into effect, have issued an address to the ministers of all religious denominations throughout the United Kingdom, of which this is a portion : We are surrounded by scenes of want and misery, over which our hearts have long mourned with the power of affording hale, beyond the consolation of mere words. The conviction has been forced upon our minds, that the sufferings we deplore, and the calamities we would avert, may be traced, in a great degree, to the operation of the laws which produce a scarcity of the necessaries of life, by circumscribing the bounties of Divine Providence. 1 We think we may be permitted to say that, to no body of men ought such momentous questions to be submitted with a better prospect of a calm, an enligh tened, and an honest solution, than to that body which we desire to convene—a body composed of men who, while deeply sympathizing in the wants and woes of the poor, profess to respect the just rights of all, and to be guided equally by the feelings of a disinterested bene volence and the dictates of an uncompromising morality. We cannot doubt that the decisions of such a body would exercise a benign and beneficial influence over the na tion at large. Unite with us in an effort for the common weal and general safety. For a while let us lay aside our sectarian and partizan differences, and, on the hallowed ground of Christian charity, assemble for the purpose of bettering the condition of famishing multitudes. As the friends of humanity, let us plead the cause of the poor. As the expounders and defenders of the principles of immutable justice, let us protes against laws, under whatever form, which deny to our necessitous fellow countrymen a share in the bounties which the Creator has provided for the wants of all his creatures. As the ministers of religion, let us remove, if it be pos sible, the causes which are engendering a frightful amount of immorality and impiety. As patriots, burning with a love of country, let us make an effort to put away the occasions of disaffection and animosity, and to restore peace and harmony to a now ' unhappily distracted people ; and may the blessing of God rest upon our meeting ! We rejoice very much to see this important, moral, political, and religious question taken up by these earnest and sincere men. Theit appeal will, we trust, be responded to from every part of the kingdom, and congregations who take a deep interest in the question, and are fortunate enough to have a pastor who agrees with them in sentiment, should depute him to attend at Manchester on their behalf. Before the solemn, devout, and fervent convictions of such men, the shallow sophistries of a STANLEY, the hollow and disgusting plausibilities of a PEEL, and the common-place niaseries of the herd of vulgar politicians, put forth to serve a temporary party purpose, or taken up without a moment's reflec tion, will vanish like the foul mists of the night before the rising sun. Even if the Confer ence should do nothing else, it will bring together, personally acquainted as the several pastors must be with the actual condition of the people, a greater body of testimony to their sufferings than could by any other means be collected. It will be sure also to give a religious sanction to the great struggle in which the people have embarked, and make the abolition of the Corn-law a religious question in every part of the empire. And why should it not be made a religious question ? Every duty of man is connected with religion, which is of no earthly value if it be not a guide to actions. The clergy of the Established Church take it upon themselves to preach up the duty of obedience to the law. Would they dare to tell men they ought to obey a law which enjoined parricide or infanticide ? They would not, because they know that doing so would expose them to universal scorn and horror. The preaching obedience to the law implies, therefore, an obligation to ascertain that the law is just, or the preachers may peril their own souls. Our Bishops in Parliament lie under a double obligation—the obligation which they share in common with the lay legislators to make laws exclusively for the public welfare, not for the enrichment of individuals, and the obli gation, which is exclusively their own, to take especial care that the law be just before they venture in the name of religion to enjoin men to obey it. To discuss the great question of the Corn laws on the grounds of humanity and justice, will get rid of these objections, founded on most imperfect information as to prices, fertility of soil, and cost of production at home and abroad, which are only introduced by the bread-taxers to perplex and harass their opponents, and stave off an unpleasant conclusion. Suppose there were all the difference of the cost of raising wheat between England and the Ukraine which some persons have represented, suppose that there are regions of boundless fertility, ready to pour their produce into our country, by what right does the Legislature withhold that pro duce from the millions of people who want it, and who are willing to pay for it. Suppose that two, or even ten millions of acres were to be put out of cultivation by the abolition of the Corn-laws, what have all those sup positions to do with the plain and un deniable facts, that the Corn-laws were passed and are now maintained to keep up rents, and that they annually doom a great. number of our people to hunger and starvation ? What have all those fear-born fancies to do with the fact that the law is unjust, and such a law as no Legisla ture can with safety make, for it violates all the principles on which any Legislature asks for, or can claim, the obedience of any people ? The Conference will make short work, we trust, with meiely political and party objections, and set the example of deciding questions of legislation by the great principles of right and wrong, not by the ii.nagined expediencies of men as much iutefested and as selfish as ever lived. Besides the ordinary Paris Journals of Tuesday, we have received news from the French capital of Wednes day's date, with interesting intelligence from Toulouse, Madrid, Athens, Candia, and Constantinople, a summary of which will be found in another part of The Sun. The French Government is at this moment labouring under great embarrassment as regards alike its foreign and do mestic policy. In the East it knows not well which way to turn ; and the riots at Toulouse augur but indifferently for the chances of collecting the taxes which are to embastille Paris. Austria is making some advances to France, but it is doubtful whether they are made to the nation or to soothe the irritability of SOCLT, whose title as Duke of Dalmatia, Prince METTERNICH has formally refused to recognize. A closer alliance with Russia has been recommend ed ; but of what use would such an alliance be now % Egypt is no longer within the grasp of France, and Eng land is too powerful in the Mediterranean for LOUIS PHILIPPE to think of seizing Candia. Besides, an union between Russia and France would lead to a closer alliance between England, Austria, and Prussia, and the Porte, so that the balance of power would remain retty equally poised. It may appear strange to moot such topics only two days but in trutt li N v ng after th e si • of a ne w a lli ance by th e Fi ve P owers, should not f ee l surprise d to l earn some four months hence record of the that th e new treaty was as muc h a of past as the T rea ty o f J u ly, w hi c h i t has supersed e d. is in a state of rapid transi tion and treaties the p resent d ay guaran t ee i ng a parchment ete rn i ty are little better than truces on the part of kingdoms, dependi ng f or d ura ti on on the general interest and national convenience. Every thing is done for, and in when done, such is the rapid name of the future ; but Progress of e ven t s , th a t it i s only suitable to the past. Lord PALMERSTON'S speech at Tiverton has stirr e d th e bile of the French press. They cannot atro cities imputed by his Lordship to the French the Africa, but they contend that they are no tro o p s i n so great, as those committed under the command nragreater, nor W ELLING TON by the British forces in Indial.'gi d s of a is so glaring—so monstrous a falsehood, that it r • equires no serious notice. A Leghorn letter, 2d inst., states that the British sloop of war Hazard, Capta in Elliott, arrived i n that port on the preceding evening from Genoa, on her way to Malta. The Swedish frigate Chapman had taken her departure homeward bound. The Cologne Gazette relates that the Margravine of Baden, who has been recently taking the waters at Ems, in returning a few evenings since, from the apartments of the Princess of Wasa to her own in the same hotel, perceived a glaring light in the bed-chamber of the Princess's daughter, which she im mediately entered, and found in flames. With the utmost promptitude and resolution, she caught in her arms the youn g Princess, who was still asleep, and carried her safe out of danger. The people of the house, in ten minutes more, sue _ cecded in extinguishing the fire. The accident appears to have been caused by a femme de chambre, who fainted wi'h affright, but was also saved without injury. —'The following incident is said to have occurred in the Loir-et-Cher, during the recent earthquake. A young woman, travelling on foot between Villefranche et Romorantin, was thrown down by the shock, and, when recovered, • declared that it arose from her foot sinking into a hole. It was, however, clearly ascertained that no such thing existed on the spot where she fill. -- In order to repair the foundations of the church at Pont. devaux, in the Ain, it became necessary, a short time since, to take up the remains of General Joubert, who was killed at Novi, in 1799, which have been dejosited in the vault for 43 years. They had been inclosed in three coffins—one of leai another of deal, and a third of oak. The two last were decayed from time and damp, but a wreath of laurel placed between them was still existing. The remaining coffin, with its con tents, is placed in the choir till the repairs are finished, and has been visited by the surviving relations of the General and nu merous other persons. A few days ago, an English workman, who was blasting a portion of the rock at the Col de Tourville, on the line of the Paris and Rouen Railway, was struck by some of the fragments, and killed on the spot. A chemist, at Orleans, was a few days ago preparing some fulminating powder, when, by an unforeseen accident in the process, an explosion took place, and he was so dreadfully lacerated in the head and face that, for some time, it was be lieved he was killed. On closer examination, however, it was found that he was still living, but with one of his eyes forced from the socket, and the other so injured as to render it im probable he will recover the use of it. His life is out danger. It is rumoured that the Municipal Council of Paris has decided on levying a fixed Octroi duty upon poultry, sea and fresh water fish, and oysters. The Municipal Council is said to be contemplating a realisation of the original design of the colossal elephant formed in 1813, but still remaining in plaster on the Place de la Bas tille. Messrs. Seyez and Inge have tendered to make a cast of it in bronze for 900,000 fr. The situation proposed is again said to be the centre of the Rond Point at the Barriere du Trone, forming a monumental fountain, surrounded by trees, columns, and candelabra with lamps in the style of the Place de la Concorde. On this occasion the sculptures of the two co lumns at the Barriere du Trone would be finished. Mme. Jaquotot, the celebrated painter on porcelain and in enamel, is returned from Italy, where she has been chiefly employed in studying the master. pieces of Raphael. She has brought back with her copies of his portrait of himself, that of Pope Julius 11., and of his St. Cecilia, with others, all of which have been made in execution of orders given by the King. The annual practice of the artillery at Vincennes will be opened this week. Firing at marks will take place as usual, before the Polygon, on the mornings of Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from 6 till 10. --It is stated that the Council of Ministers, at its next meet ing, will take into consideration whether the authorisation for the Administration des Hospices to receive the property which the Baron de T.eucheres claims to be entitled to. in consequence of the death of his wife, shall receive the King's sign manual. The price paid for the Hotel de Bragance, Rue de Cour celles, by the Queen Dowager of Spain, is 515,000 f. SUICIDES.—On Sunday, M. C., a gentleman of pro perty, killed himself by jumping out of the window of his apartment, on the Quai des Augustins. This suicide is attri buted to grief for the loss of his son, who was killed in Africa, of which he had received intelligence a few days be fore. The same day, a man, thirty years of age, was seen to go from the shore at Puteaux to a raft of wood moored near it, and, getting close to the water's edge, discharged a pistol into his mouth. He effectually killed himself , but did not, as was evidently his design, fall into the river. In his pocket was a paper, on which was written, in pencil, " I was anxious to assist my parents ; but, being unable, I have resolved to die far from them."—Montmartre was on Sunday the theatre of two suicides, one by a woman named- Dubois, aged 75, who threw herself into a well, and the other by another woman, who suffocated herself with charcoal, involving her baby, only six months old, in the same act of destruction. When the last census was made, there were in the de partment of the Seine 72,000 persons having patentes or li censes to trade, but after deducting those of the sixth and seventh classes, arti.ans and journeymen liable to the patent or license duty, the number is reduced to 38,000 tradesmen. A letter from Vienna, sth instant, in the Gazette of Upper Germany, says—" The subscription in favour of the National Bank of Athens is well supported by the Greeks of our city. Baron Sina alone has signed for 200,000 drachmas, about 180,000 f. The crisis in the chases of public companies continues. All the railway shares have fallen. This is ex plained by the emission of the 5 per cent. loan, and the diffi culty of obtaining discounts from the National Bank." BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 13. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

PARIS, JULY 14.—A telegraphic despatch from Tou louse announces that the disturbances assumed a most alarming character on the evening of the 14th, when M. Mahul, fearing for his life, escaped from the city. The Government, on being apprised of his flight, immediatey revoked his appointment, and issued orders to the au thorities to enforce the execution of the law, which was the occasion of those disturbances. The troops were said to have maintained their ground. It was reported in Paris on Wednesday, that M. Ma hul, the new Prefect, was killed in a duel, or by the mob. The French squadron, commanded by _Admiral Hu gon, anchored at the Island of Hyeres on the 12th inst. The departure of Baron JamQs de Rothschild for Ger many, which stood fixed for Thursday, was considered conclusive that the French loan would not be contracted for some time. FRENCH FUNDS.—Five per Cents., 114 f. 90. ; Three per Cents., 76f. 50c. An emeute prepared by the secret societies, broke out at Toulouse in the afternoon of the 12th. The fac tious attacked the guard at the Prefecture and were re pulsed. The civil and military authorities were inces sant in their exertions to maintain the public peace. The Chamber of Deputies of Spain granted on the 7th instant, 2,000,000 of reals, constituting the dota tion of the Regent, by a majority of 82 against 18. That day being the anniversary of the overthrow of Bessieres in his attack against Madrid in 1823, was ce lebrated by a Te Deum, a review of the National Guards and troops, and illuminations. SPANISH FUNDS.--The Five per Cents. were done at 25 15-16 for cash, and 26 at 60 days. M. Arguelles had been elected guardian to the Queen of Spain. Ai the date of the 7th inst. all the male members of the Buonaparte family, with the exception of Prince Louis, confined at Ham, were assembled at Genoa, where they were expected to fix their permanent abode. The Emperor of Austria left Modena on the 25th ult. for Vienna. Advices from Athens of the 27th ult., quoted by the Temps, announce the formation of a new Ministry, the President of which is M. Conduriotte ; M. Cristides is Minister of the Interior ; M. Mesaya, of Public Instruc tion ; M. I Risos, of the Foreign Affairs ; M. Hess, of War ; and M. Tissamenos retains the direction of the Finance Department, without taking the title of Minister. This Cabinet was considered only as one ad interim. The Augsburgh Gazette publishes accounts from Trieste of the 4th inst., stating that affairs were taking an unfavourable turn for the insurgents in Candia, who on the 18th and 20th sustained signal defeats, and were driven to the mountains. The Turks had burnt three villages, and put the inhabitants to the sword. The Frankfort Journal of the 11th instant mentions that the Reis Effendi had addressed a note to Lord Pon sonby, in which he pledged himself to give sufficient gua rantees to the Christians of Bulgaria against the cruelty and oppression of the Pachas. The Levant packet, due at Marseilles on the 11th, only arrived on the 13th. THE RAILWAY SUN: (From the Spectator.) The Sun newspaper of yesterday had one of its sides occupied by a map of all the Railways completed, pro posed, and in progress throughout the kingdom ; the tracks of steam-vessels being also indicated. This map is really a useful as well as curious addition to a news paper ; and, together with the succinct account of the various undertakings, and the formation of the road ways, &c. will furnish much interesting information on the greatest wonder of modern times—steam locomotion —at a very cheap rate. The map, which is surrounded by a bordering of railway trains, is compiled by Mr. Wyld, the geographer, of Charing-cross ; and it is exe cuted by a new mode of stereotyping, patented by Mr. Woone, of Exeter, called the Gypsographic process : its nature is not fully explained, but the engraver, we are told, draws upon a metal late, and from his drawing a cast is taken, which is printed by the typographic press. This, moreover, is said to be the largest cast plate ever yet printed as letterpress. The Railway Sun is even the most amusing paper of the week ; the lines of inter communication between the cities and towns of.the em• pire possessing far more interest than election-returns. THE TOWER MOAT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts,—Space, in your most valuable Paper, is, I am aware, at the present moment at a premium, still I hope a corner can be found, wherein may be noticed a subject which may (in my humble opinion, at least) be considered of nearly as much im portance as electioneering intelligence—•l allude, Sir, to the state, the filthy state, of the Tower Moat, the malaria arising from which cannot but be deleterious to the health of that portion of her Majesty's subjects who are unfortunate enough to be located in its neighbourhood. I would beg to suggest that (as it appears to be of no earthly use) it be filled up with mould, shrubs planted, and that then it be thrown open as a public promenade, which would conduce very much to the health and comfort of the denizens of the east, at a very trifling expense to the Government. II am, Sir, your humble se , Tint, JOSEPH NEWTON. 14, Green-walk, Blackfriars, July 13, 1841. ELECTORS !-REGISTER ! REGTSTER ! The 20th of July is the last day for sending in county claims ; and for 101. voters paying poor-rates and assessed taxes in boroughs. County electors who are not already registered for the same property, or who have changed their places of abode since last July, must, on or before the 20th of July instant, send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated their claims to vote, which must contain a description of their places of residence, the nature of qualification, and its situation, or the tenant's name; and they must send with each claim a shilling. Borough electors who live in 101. houses will lose their votes sinless they pay, on or before the 20th of July instant, all poor rates and window taxes due prior to the 6th of April last, whether demanded by the collector or not. Scot and lot voters will be disfranchised unless they pay, on or before the 30th of July instant, all the poor-rates which have been de ,..end, of them up to that day. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The Lord Chamber lain, on the application of Mr. Baker, the stage-manager of this establishment, has granted a license Ito open the theatre for two months, in addition to the usual season, for the relief of the dramatic portion of the late company at Astley's, and who have not obtained engagements elsewhere.

Lord Palmerston's speech at Tiverton, in which the atrocities committed by the French army in Africa was severely censured, has raised a tempest of wrath in Paris. Most of the Journals are furious at the idea of French men being accused of inhumanity in war, and rake up the annals of our Indian conquests, to find missiles to cover us with confusion. The to quoque style of defence will not do here. The French Government has pompously set forth, in the official columns of the .2lfoniteur, the number of razias .--;xecuted by French troops, and the journals have all quoted them amidst acclamations of joy. Now a razia is the surrounding of a village (often in dead of night) by a strong body of troops, butchering the inha bitants, firing their dwellings, taking away their cattle, and carrying their women and children into slavery. Is this a system of honourable, manly, or humane war fare ? Is it not, rather, a system worthy only of savages ? The-French journals are furious because they have the grace to feel ashamed that the world should be made acquainted with acts so atrocious. Lord Palmer ston struck home, because there was no denying tho truth of his statements. A heavy fall of rain dispersed the rioters at Tou louse on the 9th inst. A more serious emeute, prepared by the secret societies, broke out on the 12th ; and a telegraphic despatch, which appears in the Moniteur of yesterday, received by Extraordinary Express, states that M. Mahul, the new Prefect, was forced to fiy out of the town to save his life, upon which the Government cancelled his appointment. A rumour ran that he was killed by the mob. The troops remained firm. M. Humana had better give up his darling scheme of taxation. The charitable institutions of France consist of 1,328 hospitals, possessing a revenue of 52,222,152 f., and ministering _relief to 152,820 indigent ; 6,275 cha ritable boards, disposing of a revenue of 10,315,768 f., and assisting 695,932 individuals ; 42 moats-de-piete, possessing capital to the amount of 35,000,000 f., which are loaned on nearly five millions of articles ; 127,507 foundlings under 12 years of age, who cost the State upwards of 10,242,000 f. annually ; and 40 special insane institutions, and 22 mixed, the annual expense of which averages 400 f. per individual, and in which are treated upwards of 12,000 patients. The Ayuntan;iento, or governing corporation of Havannah, have addressed a memorial to the Spanish Government against the abolition of the slave trade. The memorialists cite the case of Jamaica, and the high protecting duties which the Tories claim- for sugar pro duced by five labour, in order to enable the planters to compete with the producers of sugar in slave-holding States. We predicted that such would be the result of keeping up the high protecting duties. We foresaw that the instant it was put abroad that protection was wanted for sugar produced by free labour, a powerful impetus would be given to the inhuman traffic in slaves. The Tories opposed the abolition of the slave trade to the last ; by feigning to afford protection to our West India planters they are now doing all in their power to revive it. To abolish slavery throughout the world it was only required to demonstrate that free labour was the cheapest labour. This the Whigs attempted to do, but Sir Ro bert Peel aad the Tories, who in their hearts doat upon. slavery, foreign and domestic, prevented them. There was a time when the planters of the Southern States of the great American Union, would have celebrated Sir Robert Peel's accession to office by a bonfire of tar bar rels and old negroes and negresses. As it is, the crack of the driver's whip will sound merrily, when the Tory squadron casts anchor in Downing -street. Loud complaints are made of the state of penury in which the young Queen of Spain is kept. Her Most Catholic Majesty is reported to have only thirty dollars a month allowed her. Now, when it is considered that all the moral, and physical, and even fanciful wants of the Queen are munificently provided for—that she has her choice of several 'palaces to lodge in— that her wardrobe is too extensive for her powers of arithmetical calculations—that a host of attend ants are in constant readiness at every hour through out the day 'it'd night to anticipate not only her reason able wishes but her caprices—and when, more than all, it is remembered that her Majesty is yet but a puny child of eleven years of age, it may be asked to what rational use she can devote half the monthly allowance granted her by the Government ? The Queen, like most children of her age, is fond of the ostentation of relieving street beggar& but nation staggering under the weight of its debts may be excused for not indulging even a Queen in a practico of such questionable utility. Senor Arguelles has been elected by the Cortes Guardian of the young Queen of Spain. A temporary Cabinet has been formed in Greece. Prince Mavrocordato's name is not found in it. In Candia the insurgents have suffered some re verses. With their characteristic barbarity the victorious Turks burnt the conquered villages. The Pope has pronounced anathema maranatha against animal magnetism. He condemns it as irreli gious and immoral. AT HOME. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. O'Connell, addressing the Carlow electors on Tuesday last, exhorted them to peace and good-humour in these words :—" My friends, I entreat you to be quiet, peaceable, and orderly. Let us part as good humouredly as we possibly can. For my part, I am too old to afford to be angry, for anger is an enemy to beauty, and I wish to preserve mine." If, as the old adage says, " Handsome is as handsome does," then Dan must be a perfect Adonis, for his present exertions in the cause of good government are most exemplary. Among some curious Parliamentary records of bribery in the age of Elizabeth, which are quoted by a Morning Paper, we find the following singular passage : " Thomas Long, a very simple man, and unfit to serve, is questioned how he came to be elected." This is a question which not a few of the Tories would, we sus pect, have considerable difficulty in answering. W hat reply, for instance, could Mr. Attwood give, if bound to say truly how he came to be returned for Harwich ? All that could in strict justice be said either of him, or by him, as regards his election, would amount to no more than this—namely, that, like Thomas Long, he is " a very simple man, and unfit to serve." It is asto nishing how many of the Tory party are in the same predicament ! We know of at least a hundred, who are all very " simple men, and unfit to serve." A Correspondent writes us word that " an itine rant vendor of sticks has taken up his stand in the neighbourhood of St. Stephen's, where he proposes to sell sticks dirt cheap." Cheap as this man may be in his prices, there are sticks that may be had much cheaper within the walls of the House of Commons, for we firmly believe that one-third, at least, of the Tory sticks in Parliament might be had for an old song, if the Whigs thought them worth buying. But what Whig Minister in his senses would ever think of purchasing such a stick as Borthwick ? The Lincoln Gazette says—" We are informed that a member of the Wesleythi Methodisl Society has been expelled for the grossest bribery and corruption at the recent election for Boston." If there be any truth in the proverb that the " greater the sinner, the greater the saint," then this man must be a paragon of Apostolic sanctity. Old and unhappy recollections are again being re vived in Ireland, and every man, whatever his party, will have reason to deplore it. A gentleman from Monas tereven states that when he was coming through that town, he perceived the pinnacle of the steeple of the church decorated with Orange lilies. The Limerick Chronicle says :—" A distinguished field officer, totally blind, was led to the hymeneal altar last week, by a blooming bride, fair, fat, and forty•" This is a matter-of-fact illustration of the well-known poetical saying, that " Love is blind." Mr. O'Connell, who has been returned for the county of Meath, is also announced as a candidate for the Yorkshire of Ireland, the county of Cork, and is certain of success. Mr. Benett, Member for Wilts, suspected for many years of being a Tory in disguise, like Mr. George Ro binson, formerly for Worcester, has followed the example of that gentleman, and openly declared for the winning party. To the credit of the last House of Commons, " waiters on Providence" were as rare as black sheep. LAW AND POLICE. Mr. Henry Cockerill Leatham, who had been dis charged under the Insolvent Act some years ago, ap peared in the Court yesterday for the purpose of paying over to his creditors a legacy of 1,0001., minus the duty, 601. The Commissioner justly praised this honourable conduct, and ordered the money, 9401., to be paid into Court. A man of the name of Jourdan, a German, was taken before the Magistrates at Lambeth-street yester day for breaking windows. On inquiry it appeared that the unfortunate man was insane, that he had been tried LL 011 oil. the chargo clltt'ng hii wile's thl'oat, and afterwards his own ; acquitted on the ground of insanity, and sent to a lunatic asylum at Horton, from which he was released on Friday. He was ordered to be taken before the parish officers of Shoreditch for safe custody. At the Northampton Assizes, on Tuesday, a butcher, of the name of Roddis, obtained a verdict of 801. damages against Mr. Faircloth. a surgeon of that town, for the seduction of his daughter. In the Court of Bankruptcy, yesterday, assignees were appointed in the bankruptcy of the old esta blished house of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. A vast amount of debts was admitted without opposition. The debts and liabilities are said to amount to 450,000/., and the assets to 200,0001. PUBLIC OPINION. The Tory papers are all taken up with Lord Morpeth's farewell speech to the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Herald warmly declares that it is all that such a speech should be ; the tender and compas sionate heart of the Post is quite melted with its affect ing eloquence ; and as for the Times, it sets no bounds to its admiration of his Lordship's rhetoric ! Indeed our Contemporary is quite hysterical on the subject. The Noble Viscount must be greatly distressed and self abased by such hyperbolical approbation. To be abused by the Tories is flattering enough to any sincere Re former ; but to be praised by them, is humiliating to the last degree. We have no doubt that Lord Morpeth will be far more annoyed by the eulogiums of the Tory journals, than even by the loss of . his election. The Morning Chronicle justly remarks, in an article suggested by the Times' proposal for new Co lonial bishoprics, that " all that is sordid and grasping in the Church now begins to count upon its harvest time." The expected return of the Tories to power is, indeed, an event full of promise for the Church, and as full of disappointment for the people ; for ten new tax paid Colonial Bishops, as our Contemporary observes, are among the least of the blessings we may look forward to from a Peel Administration. It is evident, from the tenor of the article in the Times of yesterday, that Mother Church is already getting her sickle ready for the approaching harvest. The Morning Advertiser atttibutes the result of the elections mainly to the misconduct of the Whigs, who, when they had the power to do good, showed themselves wanting in the inclination. The Dublin Evening Post has no faith in the stability of the anticipated Peel GovernMent, and seems to think that there are many of the more Liberal Tories who will refuse to march through Coventry with Sir Robert and his ragged regiment. —lt is the opinion of the Worcestershire Chronicle, and other Liberal Journals in that county, that, not withstanding the election returns, at least three-fourths of the people are in favour of the great remedial mea sures brought forward by Government. ELECTION/AIRING. There has been serious rioting at the Clare election in Ennis. Report goes, that one man, named Eustace, has died of wounds inflicted by the mob. Reports come from Clonmel that a serious riot has taken place there on Monday last. The mob tried to stop a band of voters : the police fired, and four men were shot. The supposed murderers of Mr. Bryan have been apprehended in Ireland. They appear to have been his ejected tenants. COU I RT- --PASHIONABLES. The Duchess of Cambridge sat yesterday to Mr. llayter, for her portrait in the picture of her Majesty's marriage. The Viscount and Lady Villiers (late Miss Peel: after their wedding-breakfast started for Middleton Park, Oxon (the seat of the Jersey family), to pass the honey moon. DITMOURS Or TEE DAY. Lord Abinger is about to resign in favour of Sir Frederick Pollock, who is to be made Chief Baron. Mr. Cresswell is to be Attorney-General ; but serious appre hensions are entertained that not one half of the Tory officials will be fit for duty, owing to the shock which their nerves have received by the result of the elections. Like Cromwell, they say, " We never expected to see such a day." At Woodstock, two days ago, two old women, one of whom fainted away at the sight, saw a tree, which would have required many horses to draw it from the place where it was cut down, quietly roll up a neighbouring hill like a huge serpent. Many of Mr. Thesiger's en lightened supporters have been to look at the wonder ful tree. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING—YESTERDAY.

BACHELOR V. GREY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41. 13s. for medicines supplied to the defendant. The plaintiff was Mrs. Catherine Bachelor, who carried on business as a chemist and druggist, in the Broadway, Hammersmith, and defendant an upper servant to a lady named Page, residing in Brook-green, in the same neighbourhood. It appeared in the evidence that the plaintiff's brother was a medical student, and used to pre scribe for the defendant, but received no fee. The prescrip tions were compounded by an assistant in the plaintiffs shop, and amounted to the sum now cla'rned. For the defence it was contended that the defendant employed Mrs. Bachelor as a surgeon and apothecary, and that it was on his account alone the medicines were supplied, and under a certain section of the Apothecaries' Act, any person who was not in practice before the year 1915, or who did not possess a certificate from the Apothecaries' Hall, was debarred from the recovery of medi cines supplied, and that the action was brought in the name of Catherine Bachelor to evade this section of the Act. Mr. HORN, for the plaintiff, said that if she acted as an apothecary the defence set up might be good, but Mr. Batche lor, although so nearly related to her, had no interest or con nection whatever with the business, and his prescriptions for the defendant were compounded in the plantiff's shop in the same manner as might be done in the shop of any other druggist ; and, therefore, there could be no fraud or collusion in terms under which the present action was brought. Verdict for the plaintiff, 41. 135., costs, 40s. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY). A " WATERFORD " FREAK.— George Dobson, a very fa shionably attired young man, was placed before Mr. Twyford, charged with having wrenched the knocker from the hall-door of Mr. Dow, of Brydges-street, Covent Garden. It appeared that the prisoner, in company with several young men, was proceeding along Brydges-street last even ing, and on coming up to the house of Mr. Dow, bootmaker, the prisoner walked deliberately up to the hall-door, and wrenched off the brass knocker. The party then proceeded down the street, and called a cab, but having been seen by a policeman, he came up and took the young man at the bar into custody. The whole of the parties were in liquor at the time. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had happened. He was in liquor at the time, and had no recollection of the circumstances. The MAGISTRATE referred to the Act of Parliament, and said that he was empowered by it to inflict a penalty not ex ceeding 5/. If these practices were allowed, he knew not how far they might be carried, as persons in a lower grade of life might be induced to break the knockers from doors for the purpose of pawning or selling them, as it appeared that the knocker in question wa3 a valuable one. He Should therefore not pass it over, but fine the prisoner 40s. The fine was immediately paid, and the Magistrate inti mated to the prisoner that he ought to pay the amount of the rej &P 4 that would be required for the door ; but Mr. Dow, who appeared against the prisoner, said he should be satisfied if he would contribute something towards the poor's-box. This he promised to do, and the prisoner was then discharged. THE WEATHER.—NooN, JULY 15. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET.

SUDDEN DEATH. Yesterday morning, at eight o'elock, while Mr. Smith, belonging to the Court of Chancery, was waiting for the Hertford coach at the Bell and Crown, Holborn, he was seen to stagger, and fall very heavily on the ground ; when lifted, he was found to be dead. Last night, a few minutes past eight'o'clock, the inhabitants residing in Coventry-street, Ilaymarlet, v Are thi own into great alarm by the sudden giving way, in nume rous places, of the fronts of two houses, Nos. 26 and 27, Co ventry-street; No. 26 in the occupation of Mr. Cordwent, a cheesemonger, and No. 27 in the occupation of Mr. Taverner, bread and biscuit-baker. Immediate prevention must be takon by shoring them up, otherwise they will fall before the inmates can remove from out of them. The houses are particularly old, and in a very dilapidated state.
