As the flexible cane turns wa ,_support from the passive cone to the active cone, the .e:tre, t ler rolls upwards from the circumference to the and, like a river, flows quickest in the middle. i° l : raise . the lower valve and hold the lever securely, its mo -1 will discover no resistance b e y on d ac tion and re-action, *nethe r in a glass that raises water 30m0 feeeodlt of 24 inches, or a Fountain Pump high, notwithstanding the pressure of water increases from 14 ounces to 130 pounds upon the square inch. eAnd then view the o ld Principle in glass, and mark how vebly opposed to nature i s t h e sliding reciprocation. Here y_e inch in elevation increases friction. 1 _whilst so astonishingly conflicting are the writings of imwe "fined Doctors and ..

By the plan exclusively deret6ped by this Society, a single Deferred Annuity is made, not only to answer the same object, but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes through separate investments 'in Savings' Banks, Be nefit Societies, and Loan Banks. 1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol lowing option. at the age of 65 Annuity for remainder of life... ... £47 16 6 Cash 394 11 0 or a Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death. Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken with similar advantages. 2.

Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in case of premature death. N.B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by any other Office, (See Tables A. and B. ), with option of con tinuance for Life at the usual rates. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. Two-tl UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, I, King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the mist accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation. The Second Daision of Profits was in May, 1811, when a si milar reduction was again declared The made b Following table will show the operation of the reduction y the Society : Age Annual when Date ot Sum Original , Premium Polic y Policy.

BEFORE NATURE THIS seeming paradox has been solved by the Perukes and Head Dresses made by ROSS and SONS, 119 and '2O, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, for although per fectly natural, they at the same time possess that elegance and gracefulness of contour otherwise unattainable. Being made of natural curling hair, which always looks easy and becoming, (particularly in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Perukes), being quite porous, and finished with their newly-invented partings, the latter so close a resemb'ance to the skin, as to defy detection; they are perfectly unique. ROSS and SONS havin g completed their extensive altera tions, can now offer to the Public, on the Ground floor, the most splendid apartments for Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hair cutting and arranging ; and request a visit, the first week in every month, to inspect the fashions. Anlimmense assortment of Fronts, Toupees, Ringlets, Braids, &e. of the most beauti ful description. Ladies' own hair made into Chains, Love knots, or any other device required. • TO SHIPPERS, OWNERS, CAPTAIN N, and OTHERS Copies of Testimonials, Gratis, by all Agents.

The election of a Member for this district of burghs took place on Monday. After the usual formalities, Provost Anderson of Kirkaldy proposed, and Bailie Dairnie of Kinghorn seconded, the nomination of Colo nel Ferguson. There being . no other candidate proposed, and there being an unanimous show of hands in favour of Colonel Ferguson, the Sheriff declared him duly elected Member of Parliament for the Kirkaldy burghs. Colonel FERGUSON after returning thanks said—l have supported, and will suppport, the present Ministry, because their measures were and are based on sound principles ; but if the party seeking to come into power shall abandon the principles hitherto acted on by them, and become the advocates of reform, they shall have my support. Measures and not men is my motto ; but if they persevere in resisting the progress of liberal opinions, they shall have my most determined opposi tion.—(Hear, hear and cheers.) You have already had an opportunity of hearing my opinions not elo quently but candidly stated ; and that those opinions are approved of by the majority, is established by the fact of my being placed in the proud position I now occupy ; that I am a decided advocate of the principles of free trade, not merely in corn, but in every other commo dity, and the decided opponent of monopoly ; and I am proud to think that, in Fifeshire, no monopolist has dared to • show his face. Had any such appeared, he might have caused a slight stir, but he would have had no chance of success.—(Cheers.) Capt. WEMYSS being ou the hustings, there was a ge neral call for him. The Captain said,—My friends, being a law-maker, I must not be law-breaker. I am not an elector in Kirk aldy, and, before I can speak, I must come down among the other non-electors. But, if you wish it, I will get up into a window, and give you a crack. • Capt. WEMYSS then appeared at one of the windows of the Town House, and addressed the crowd below nearly to the following effect :—I have great pleasure in seeing you have got a man to represent you out of your own district, and one whose opinions are so thoroughly like your own. This was far better than running about the country, seeking after itinerating foreigners. Kirk aldy has done its duty, and I trust other districts will _ follow the example. Dundee also has done honour to itself, in electing one of its own mer chants, who, to m 3 knowledge, has worked hard in their local matters ; and if his advice had been taken, the town would have been saved many thousand pounds. I came here to-day ,to witness the return of my friend ; and feel proud at being taken notice of by the people of Kirkaldy. And as Lord-Lieutenant of the county, I feel happy at your orderly conduct, and trust that your example will have a due effect in Cupar on Thursday. I know that Chartists and dis turbers of the peace are going about the country, al though candidates appear who meet the voice of the con stituency ; but, I must tell you, that, by sailing too fast, you have nearly turned out the Whigs ; but now you will have to unite to keep out the Tories. It is a very easy matter to crack in James Cumming's shop ; but it is neither " clishmaclaver" there nor at the Cross of Cupar that will put the Tories out if they get in. —(Loud laughter.) No ; the Liberal ten-pounders must do so by returning Liberal Members. Instead of bawling in the streets of Scotland, where there was little to fear, that they should take care that a sough of their doings reached England, and infused a portion of their liberality where the tawse are so much needed, and where the battle of reform it now being fought. My friends, this is a wet day ; go away home and take a glass of grog quietly, but don't be making a row on the streets, and thus cause special constables catch the cauld ; and so long as you return Colonel Ferguson, I shall be happy to come to see you, and have a word with you too. With respect to the Corn-laws, take my word, you will not see them altered these five years. Before I have done, I wish to say a single word to the Tories, if there are any here. A great deal has been said of the Tories coquetting with the Chartists, which, if true, I would give an advice which I have given before, that " fools should not play wi' chapping sticks."—(Great laughter and cheers.)

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and en'Arged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease:, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex , elusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lun g s , putting on all the outer appeara nces of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by shorn the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusin g this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by . perusing this work, be directe 1 and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often ccn cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of Isis pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of part-nt and instructor,7will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and cccupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 11., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

It is in contemplation we unlerstand, to establish some permanent testimonial of the gratitude of the members of Mechanics and other education Institu tions to Dr. Birkbeck, the founder of Mechanics' Insti tutions, and the great promoter through a long life, of the improvement of the working classes. A meeting with this view is to be held in. the London Mechanics' Institution, on the 15th instant, and we should hope that other institutions will co-operate in order to render the testimonial worthy of the noble individual in question, and of the groat cause to which he has devoted all those hours that other men give to indolence and pleasure. Since 1825 a great improvement has taken place in the character of the people, and much of that is due to the numerous self-supporting educational institutions for the industrious classes, which took their rise about that period, and of which Dr: Birkbeck was the chief founder and promoter. In our estimation the glory of warrior statesmen is less pure and less bright than the glory of such a man, and it will reflect discredit on the nation, not on him, should the testimono not be made by a combined exertion of all the mechanics and similar institutions in the kingdom worthy of the great improve ment of which he is the author. Philosophers, poets, generals, heroes, have all in their turn been deified by the admiration of mankind ; the time.for such worship is past, but its place should be supplied for the best inte rest of humaaity by a rational, a public, and a n endur ing homage to those who like Dr. Birkbeck ha ve lar g el y contributed to the welfare of the whole human race. We hope and trust that all the friends of education through out this wide empire will concur in making the proposA testimonial worthy of the man and the cause. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. W. DAW SON, the ECCENTRIC WESLEYAN PREACHER. There are few persons who concern themselves with the character and operations of the 'Wesleyan Metho dists, as a numerous body of separatists from the Esta blishedthis celebrated who have not heard of the fame of and eccentri c , b u t Church, we believe, pious, and truly estimable man. Without the advantages of even a common education, but. solely by the force of a vivid imagination, and the energy of a Heaven enkindled zeal for the immortal interests of his fellow-men, pouring itself forth in homely but hear tily-expressed phraseology, he succeeded in attract ing crowds to the chapels in. which he preached, and excited an interest in, and produced an effect upon the listening multitude, which the set discourses of the regular ministers of the body failed to produce. If " Billy Dawson "—the name by which he was,gene rally known and often anno un ced—was to be the preacher, or was to be one of the speakers on a mis sionary anniversary, there was no fear of a congrega tion. Hence his services were in constant request when ever there was to be a collection •, and though termed, in the technical phraseology of the Wesleyans, " a local preacher," there was no one of the itinerants whose loco motive powers were more constantly or more Willingly in, exercise.. The professed residence of Mr. Dawson was at Barn bow, near Leeds, where he, for upwards .of 30 years, occupied a small farm under Lord Harewood. Mr. Dawson's mode of entering the pulpit was clumsy in the extreme ; he literally blundered into it. His manner in prayer wore the appearance of an irreve rence to which his heart was, we feel assured, a stranger. His addresses to the Deity were colloquial even to vul garity, and deserved the condemnation they often re ceived from the more judicious of his hearers—nor would they have been tolerated in any other but in him who possessed so powerfully . the admiration and esteem of the majority of the societies and congregations. In deed, it was utterly iii vain for the preachers to endea vour to stem the current of their people's feeling in favour of "Billy Dawson." That minister's piety would have been questioned, and his own hold upon their affections loosened, by so dangerous an experiment. Mr. Dawson was the preacher in whom the poor of the flock delighted—whom the better-educated esteemed for his fervour, and consented to forego their own prefer ence for the better arranged and more correctly-ex pressed sentences of the regular ministers, from a defer ence to the wishes of the multitude. The following are circumstances which preceded and attended the death of the subject of these remarks. Mr. Dawson arrived at Colne on Saturday last, in order to preach the anniversary sermon in the Wesleyan chapel in that place on the following day, according to public an nouncement. On Saturday afternoon he was as cheer ful and apparently as well as usual, and selected the hymns. But how little we know of what will be on the morrow. About three o'clock on Sunday morning, he alarmed the house where he was sojourning by calling for assistance, and said he wanted air ; but the sum mons had arrived—death had received his commission-- and notwithstanding all the help that could be rendered he was a corpse before four o'clock. The. medical gen tleman called in at once pronounced the case hopeless. The last sermon Mr. Dawson preached was, we believe, in the St. Alban's Circuit, on Thursday, the Ist instant. Mr. D. was in his 68th year. FOOTE'S W - t - T — ODEN 14E0.—Geerie Colman, the younger, observes :—".There is no Shukspeare or Ros cius upon record, who, like Foote, supported a theatre, for a series of years, on his own acting, on his own writings, and for ten years of the time, upon a wooden leg ! This prop to his person I one 3 saw standing by his bedside, ready dressed in a handsome silk stocking, with a polished shoe and gold buckle, awaiting the owner's getting up ; it ,had a kind of tragi-comical appearance, and I leave to inveterate wags the ingenuity of punning upon a Foote in bed and a leg out of it. The proxy for a limb thus desorated, though ludricrous, is too strong a remind er of amputation to be very laughable. His undressed supporter was the common wooden leg, like a mere stick, which was not a little injurious to a well-kept pleasure ground. I remember following him, after a shower of rain, upon a nicely rolled terrace, in which he stumped a deep round hole at every other step he took, till it appeared as if the gardener had been there with his dibble, preparing, against all horticultural practice, to plant a long row of cabbages in a gravel-walk."

The Times has the effrontery to say " that the Whigs, who came into office with the words economy and re trenchment' upon their lips, have perpetrated more jobs, created more patronage, and appointed a greater number of new salaried officers than any Tory Minister ever thought of in his wildest dreams." What description of jobs Tory Ministers are in the habit of dreaming of we cannot undertake to say, but of those perpetrated in their sober waking senses, there are fortunately, or rather unfortunately for the pockets of the unhappy tax payers, official records which any one may consult who chooses. In the year 1835 a return was made, dated Treasury Chambers, and signed Thomas F. Freemantle, of pen sions and annuities paid in the course of that year out of the Consolidated Fund. In that return we find, among a long list of pensions amounting to 510,086/. a year, granted by Tory Administrations, the following names PENSIONS FOR NAVAL AND MILITARY SERVICES. Earl of Chatham £2.000 PENSIONS FOR CIVIL SERVICES. , Right Hon. H. Goulburn £2,500 Right Hon. J. W. Croker 1,500 Right Hon. T. P. Courtenay l,OOO Lord Sidmouth Lord Bexley 3,000 Hon.

Cockburn 1,51G And a long list of other Tory Peers and scions of the aristocracy, who, together, bleed the country to the tune of 198,0821. a-year. The pensions charged on the Civil List and Consoli dated Fund amounted, at the date of the last return, in 1835, to 138,0831. The nature of these pensions is best described by a few specimens picked at hazard from the foul mass of indiscriminate and abandoned jobbery.

But we will conclude with this challenge to the organs and spokesmen of the faction in or out of Parliament. Let them, if they can, point out one single public service of the Right lion. H.

Let us now turn to the doings of the Whigs. We search in vain for the name of one single Member of the Government, of one single Member of Parliament, of one single person of note connected with the party, who, in the event of the Whigs going out of office, will enjoy a sinecure pension, granted during the ten years they have been in power. Instead of drawing increased salaries, the scale of official salaries, especially those of the higher class, has been greatly reduced, as appears from the following table : AMOUNT OF REDUCTION IN SALARIES OF 1,0001.

The appointment of Mr. Frankland Lewis, a political opponent, to the most important of all the Commissionerships created by the Whigs, viz., the Chief Poor-law Commissionership, is a sufficient a::swer to the imputation of having jobbed their patronage. We have dwelt more at length than we should have otherwise done upon these facts, because it is most im portant that the cause of the present deficiency of the revenue should be distinctly understood. The increased expenditure has arisen solely and entirely from the ne cessity of addinif to our naval and military establish ments—a necessity which has been admitted to the ful lest extent by the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, and every man of note on the Tory side, who have even gone further, and repeatedly made it a subject of charge against the Government that they did not spend money enough. The diminution of the revenue is attributable to two causes :- Ist. That the Whigs have relieved the country from an annual burden of taxation to the amount of 7,000,0001. and nvards. 2d. That the pernicious effect of monopoly cramps trade, and impedes the developement of the industry and resources of the country. POPULATION OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS ENVIRONS.

By the English Reform Act, the right to be registered as a voter in the Election of Members to serve in Parlia ment for Cities and Boroughs, is given to every male person of lull age, and not subject to any legal incapa city, who shall occupy as owner or tenant any house, warehouse, counting-house, shop or other building of the clear yearly value of 101., but the occupation must be for a year enclitic , on the 31st of July, and such person must be rated or have' claimed to be rated to all rates (if any) made for the relief of the poor during that period, and have paid by the 20th of July, his poor's-rate and win dow-tax payable previously to the Gth of April, and have resided (slept) within seven miles, for six months, Joint occupiers are entitled if the yearly value give 101. for each occupier. Person;, although lodgers, who use a part of their premises (even an attic, kitchen or cellar) as a shop, workshop, warehouse, store room, or c3unting-house, if worth four shillings a week, or 10/. a year, are entitled to vote. Any lodger who pays this amount of rent has also the right, if his landlord do not sleep on the pre mises, or if the lodger have a separate entrance, or the control of an outer door, or occupy a separate building. It is only necessary in all these cases that the lodgers should require an overseer to put their names on the poor's •rate book (either separately or in conjunction with the landlord) and any payment afterwards made by them may be deducted from the rent, as the landlord will, in consequence of such claim to be rated, cease to be called upon for rates or will pay proportionally less. 'Where a man rents a house and the parish officers have rated the landlord, the tenant if occupying will be entitled to vote after he has claimed to be rated or has got his own name put on the poor's-rate. It is not necessary to be rated at 10/., if the premises be worth that sum annually, Every tenant, although a lodger, who is liable to a yearly rent of 50/. is entitled to a vote for the County, if the premises occupied by . him do not confer a vote for a City or Borough, and in this case it is not necessary to be rated. MEMORANDA. The Gth day of April.—To avoid the disfranchisement of Ele -.tors in Cities and Boroughs, all the Poor's-rate and Window-tax (if any) payable from them in respect of their premises, previously to the 6th day of April, must be paid on or before the 20th of July. The Window-tax is payable by Act of Parliament, whether demanded or not. The Poor's-rate is not "payable till demanded ; so that it is not necessary, in order to be registered, for the 101. voter, ; eoiMed kinder the Reform Act, to pay any Pcor's-rate, if it were not demanded previously to the 6th of April, either personally of the voter, or by note in writing left on the premises by the Collector. No man should, however, omit to pay his Poor's-rate because it has not been demanded, as the Collectors may think they have called when they have not done so, and for fear of ultimate neglect, the Poor's rate and Window-tax should be paid immediately. In some parishes there is a Local Act, whereby the Poor's rate is payable before a demand has been made. The 20th day of July.—Parliamentary Electors in Cities and Boroughs entitled under the Reform Act, will lose their votes for the next year, unless they pay on or before the 20th of July all the Poor's-rates (and Win dow-tax, if any) payable from them in respect of their premises, previously to the 6th of April. The payment of no other rate or tax is required for the exercise of this franchise. le C 2 ou ot n h ty or vo j te u r l s y. 7ust send in _their claims o n or before rate or tax th an t h e The 31st of July.—Scot and l o t voters will be dis franchised, unless they pay on or b e f ore t h e 31st of July, all the Poor's-rates payable from th em previously to that da i y. 1 v T i n h d e o y w n . t e a e x d , not or , f rt o o r y t otherhe purpose of regi s t ra ti on, pay Poor's-rates.

Persons improperly omitted or inserted, must claim or be objected to, on or before the 25th of August. Overseers can ob ject to county voters, by inserting the words " objected to," without giving notice to the party, and may omit the names of any persons 'from the Lists for Cities and Boroughs also, witholt giving notice, so that it behoves ' all voters annually to inspect the Lists, and to observe if the particulars be correctly described. In case an Elector has removed since the last regis tration, but continues to occupy premises in the same City or Borough, he is still entitled to the franchise, under the 28th section of the Reform Act, which enables to _ e persons occupying different premises in succession partyb registered. In this case, to secure the vote, thevh _iho must claim to be registered in the parish tc ‘hmiel not has removed, if the Overseers of that parish already inserted his name. All persons omitted by reason of the non-payment of Poor's-rates, should claim to be registered,lie demanded the as the Col lector may not perhaps prove that payment before the 6th of April, and as there are many rates not legally made.

From the 15th of September to the 25th of October.— The Revising Barristers now hold their Courts. All Per sons interested therein should not fail to attend. Public notice on the church or chapel doors, and in the news papers, is given of the time of holding the several Courts. The claims and objections of persons who do not attend will be disallowed, and and persons objected to will have their names expunged if they be absent. Mistakes may be corrected. The Ist day of November.—The new registers of voters throughout the country take effect. Copies are sold by the returning officers, at a reasonable price. Should an election take place between this day and the Ist of November, next year, those persons only can vote who have been inserted in such registers ; but persons may tender their votes if the Revising Barrister decided against theme EVENING SUN. A CLAIM TO BE RATED. As the parish officers are not in the habit of dividing premises into different tenements, it becomes necessary, in order to obtain the right to be registered, for the occu piers of shops, workshops, warehouses, counting-houses, and other lodgings or buildings, to give notice of the oc cupancy to the overseers, and to claim to be rated. No particular form of claim to be rated is absolutely neces sary, for a mere verbal request of an overseer is suffi cient ; but the following form may be adopted : CLAIM TO BE RATED. To the overseers of the parish of I hereby give you notice that I occupy a at No. in street, in your parish, and I claim to be rated to the re lief of the poor in respect of such premises, in order that I may be entitled to vote in the election of Members of Parliament for the city of Dated this day of 184 (Signed) of N.B.—lnsert the name of the parish and the nature of the premises as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the name of the street, court, &c., and of the city or bo rough ; put in the date, and sign the names of the claim ant, andhis place of residence at full length. Give this claim to an overseer, and carefully preserve a correct copy ; the party who serves the claim should immedi ately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month. If any poor's-rate be due in respect of the premises occupied by the claimant, tender the amount. If omitted from the 'List of Voters on the 31st of July, claim to be registered on or before the 25th of August. By section 30 of the Reform Act, the Overseers are required to put the name of the claimant upon 'the rate for the time being, and the claimant is deemed to have been rated from the period at which such rate was made. By section 75, every Overseer or other person wilfully disobeying the Act, is liable to a penalty of 5001. The claimant need not again demand to be rated, so long as he retains the same premises, but in case of removal a new claim should be sent in immediately with a notice thereon as follows :—" I have removed from a at No. in street, in the parish of ." It will be better for the claimant that his name be not in serted in the rate as then he can never be a defaulter. A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. Every man who believes that he is entitled to a Vote should claim to be registered, and attend before the Re vising Barristers. If his claim be disallowed, and an Election take place, he may then tender his Vote, and the Returning Officer is bound to enter such tender in the Poll Book. A Committee of the House of Commons may afterwards decide that the Vote is good, and add it to the poll in favour of the Candidate for whom it was tendered. The following is the form of a CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. To the Overseers of the Parish of I herelty give you notice, that I claim to have my name inserted in the List made by you of Persons en titled to Vote in the Election of Members for the City of and that my qualification consists of a at No. in street, in your parish. Dated this day of August, 184 (Signed) of N.B. Insert the name of the Parish, and the nature of the premises, as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the name of the street, court, &c. ; and of the City or Borough ; put in the date, and sign the name of the claimant, and his place of abode_ at full length. In Westminster, after the words " persons en titl e d." a dd (" under the Reform Act") or else (" in respect of the Scot and Lot Franchise.") After the 31st of July, and on or before the 25th of August, give this claim to an Overseer, and afterwards attend before the Revising Barristers, who hold their Courts between the 15th of September and the 25th of October. A correct copy of this claim should be kept, and the party who serves the claim should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month. In case of removal during the year, the claim should be made in respect of the newly acquired premises. The claim to be registered must be made every year that the name of the party is omitted from the List of Voters. The Overseers are required by the Reform Act to include the name of the claimant in the List of ,Claims, to be published on the Church and Chapel doors, on the two Sundays next preceding the 15th of September. THE APPALLING CATASTROPHE AT ROTHERHAM. An inquest was held on Tuesday at Rotherham, on the bodies of the fifty persons who met with so melan choly an end at the launch of a vessel at Rotherham. The Coroner and Jury assembled at the Angel Inn, at two o'clock, and were occupied for four hours in going from one house of woe and desolation to another for the purpose of viewing the bodies. The following evi dence of one of the witnesses shows the precise manner in which the accident happened. Mr. Edwin Cadman, of Pitsmoor, Sheffield, said—The vessel was built by Mr. Chambers, for Henry and Ed win Cadman. Robert Marsh is to be the captain. I was present when the vessel was launched. I saw the launch ; and as the vessel was leaving the stays, about half over on the balance, the parties on board (men and boys) rushed to the leeward side of the vessel to see the effect of its dashing into the water. By that means, the weight of the men and boys to the leeward side caused her to overbalance and to overturn before she reached the water, which was about three feet from the stays. I was standing on a fly-boat in the cut, at the head of the vessel which was launched, and had a good view of it. I had examined the vessel, the ways, and the packings ; and I thought it altogether perfectly safe, having seen vessels launched before from the same yard. I thought it so safe that I was inclined to go on board ; but from animpression among the boat men that it is unlucky for an owner to be on board when a vessel is launched, I was persuaded not to go on board. The men were perfectly sober and quite steady, and conducted the business in the usual manner, and to my satisfaction. By the Jury.—She did not pause till the rush took place. I think she was within eighteen inches of the end of the ways. I considered it to have been entirely , accidental. Have seen many boat yards ; and have been I on vessels which h a d t o d ro p s i x y ar d s or more into the water. The inquest was, after the testimony of several other witnesses had been received, adjourned until Saturday (this day). On Wednesday upwards of forty inter ments took place i n the parish churchyard. From nine o'clock in the mor n i ng until - about six in the evening, the mournful funeral processions were seen approach ing from all parts of the town: churcha atnda ft one time, four o'clock about twelve coffi ns were i n th and these, on being removed therefrom, were met by others on their entrance to the sacred edifice. The church and the churchyard were crowded with spec tators, who evinced by their broken sentences the deep impression which so mournful an event had made upon them. During the greater part of the day the bells, which were muffled, were toll ing the approach of the departed to their last rest ing place, and the solemn sound gave still greater effect to the mournful proceedings. In the afternoon a dumb peal was performed by the Rotheram ringers, as a token of regard for Mr. Samuel Heathcote, joiner for Mr. Bentley, of the brewery, and who had acted for several years as the leader of the ringers, by whom, as well as by the public generally, be was greatly respected. In order somewhat to alleviate the distress which exists, a subscription has been opened for the poorer class of those who have been bereaved of their friends. Mr. G. W. Chambers, the proprietor of the boat yard where the accident occurrefl, has subscribed 201., and his father, Mr. Chambers, has sent the same sum from London. Mr. Bentley, of Rotherham, has given 10/., and we understand that about 2001. is already raised for the benevolent purpose. The Rev. Thomas Blackley, the vicar, also kindly offered to inter the whole of the bodies, relinguishing the usual fees.—Abridged from the Doncaster Gazette. • CANTERBURY POLITICS:--Two anecdotes connected with Canterbury politics have been communi cated to us, on what we deem good authority, each in structive in its way. The one is, that the Duchess of Northumberland, who was the governess of our gracious Queen, subscribed a large sum (3,0001.) toward the elec tion expenses of the Hon. G. Smythe, in his single contest with Mr. Wilson, a few months since. The second is, that at the recent election, Mr. Bradshaw, the defamer of the Queen, consented to pay Mr. Smythe's share of the expenses of the late contest, as well as his own, on condition that Mr. S. would canvass for and with him, that. he might be screene d b y Mr..S.'s com parative popularity from the consequences of the insults he had dared to utter against the Queen. To this, and this only, was Mr. B. indebted for his meagre majority of nine over Mr. Hodges. This is the last time of Mr. Bradshaw's appearance on the Canterbury hustings. ATTEMPT OF A HUSBAND TO MURDER HIS WIFE.—On Thursday last, between the hours of one and two, great excitement prevailed at Faversham, in conse quence of a journeyman gunsmith, in the employ of Mr. Marshall, attempting to kill his wife by cutting her throat. The weapon used on the occasion was a com mon pocket knife, with which he inflicted a severe gash across the throat, extending from car to ear. He afterwards attempted his own life with the same weapon. Surgical aid was at immediate command, and the poor woman's wound sowed up. It is stated that the prisoner and his wife have led a miserable life, the prisoner de claring that her temper was a perpetual torment ; whilst his own character is notorious as a common and habitual drunkard. They had been separated fo r severa l years ; and had only rejoined each other but a few months. The man, whose name is Filbeam, is but slightly in jured. He was taken into custody and examined before the Magistrates on Friday, but the woman not being well enough to appear, the prisoner was remanded.— ' Kent Herald. pursuantCRUELTY TO ANIMALS. to the bequest of the late Rev.
