THE re-appearance of St. Stephen's Chapel, such as it was seen many centuries ago, has afforded one of the most interesting spectacles witnessed since the discovery of the ancient public buildings at Pompeii. An EXACT DRAWING of the CHAPEL, and also one of the HOUSE of LORDS, as they now appear, have been made, expressly for the SUNDAY TIMES, by an eminent artist, and engraved in a superior style, which will be GIVEN (without any extra charge) on SUNDAY NEXT, October 26, price only Sevenpence. On this occasion the proprietors hope to furnish views, which, from their accu racy as historical curiosities, will be worthy a place in every scrap book and antiquarian portfolio in the kingdom.

CABINET OF NATURAL HISTORY-17 VoLs. This day was published, in small Bvo., 6s. cloth, PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE ON THE STUDY OF NATURAL HISTORY. By WILLIAM SWAINSON, Esq. The plan of the Cabinet of Natural History, and the style of its execution, will be in strict accordance with the principles laid down in the original prospectus of Dr. Lardner's Cyclopedia. The ob ject of the Editor and his associates will be, as there stated, "to present the science in a form which shall be universally intelligible ; to render it attractive to the general reader, yet at the same time to inculcate sound principles ; and by transfusing through the whole work a philosophic spirit, not only to stimulate the diffusion of knowledge, but to raise the tone of the public mind, and to awaken a taste for the contemplation of the works of nature." To Zoology will be devoted about fourteen volumes ; this part of the work has been prepared by Mr. Swainson. A volume will be devoted to Botany ; one to Mineralogy, which is in preparation by Mr. Levi;• and another to Geology, which has been undertaken by the Rev. W. D. Conybeare. The whole series will be copiously illustrated and embellished by woodcuts engraved by Branston, from original drawings, prepared by the authors themselves and by Mr. T. Landseer, such drawings being almost invariably made from nature. The whole work being nearly all written, will be published at short intervals in Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopmdia.

London, 140, S. CHEDDON'S HERBAL TONIC C • PILLS are prescribed by the Faculty as a most efficacious remedy for the Cure of Scrofula, Scurvy, Leprosy, Scorbutic af fections, Eruptions and Pimples on the Face, Swellings or Ulcera tions on the Neck, Sore Breasts, and all Disorders attended with Painful Swellings, or with Morbid and Irritating Eruptions of the Skin, Open Wounds and Sores, as well as the severest cases of Gout and Rheumatism. The following testimonials of their effi cacy, from eminent Physicians, are the most unqualified proofs of their efficiency : From Dr. Palmer, of Walworth. Walworth, Surrey, Feb. 27, 1834. " Sir—Among the numerous medicines now before the public, I know of none so efficacious as your Pills in restoring individuals to health who are suffering under scrofulous and cutaneous affections, or glandular swellings generally, particularly of the breasts and neck, as also Gout or Rheumatism, or where the system is predis posed to disease. This is the result of my experience with them, having been supplied largely, I have been enabled to give them ex tensively and with the greatest success.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. " To Mr. Chedden. " JOHN PALMER, M.D." From Surgeon Browne, of Leeds. " Leeds, Sept. 4, 1833. " Sir—From the numerous instances of the efficacy of your Pills related to me, I have been induced to try them in several severe cases of Scrofula and Scorbutic Affections, and in obstinate Cuta neous Diseases, in Consumption, Diseases of the Kidneys and Blad der, and in Gout and Rheumatism, and am able to bear testimony of their great utility ; indeed, it was a Medicine much wanted, and, in my opinion, stands unrivalled.—Your obedient serv M ant, " ROBERT BROWNE, .R.C.S. " To C. S. Cheddon, Esq." From Dr. Bell, of Manchester. " Manchester, July, 30, 1833. " Dear Sir,—As Scrofula and Scorbutic affection appear to be daily increasing (for in my opinion there is scarcely a•family whose constitution is not tainted with it,) I think our profession and the public are deeply indebted to you for so valuable a discovery. From the cases in which 1 have given your pills, I am enabled to say they have cured many individuals whose death previously might have been hourly expected, and I feel no hesitation in saying, that if your pills were occasionally taken, they would prevent any malig nant disease from taking place, and I think they are particularly applicable to delicate individuals. . " I am, dear Sir, your's very faithfully, " To C. S. Cheddon, Esq." " SAMUE L BELL, M. D. From Dr. Darwall, of Birmingham. " Birmingham, April 10, 1833. " Dear Sir—l have for several months been prescribing your pills' in all cases of Scrofula and Scorbutic Affections, with the greatest possible success. As these complaints are greatly upon the increase, there being scarcely a family free from them, I consi der your medicine the,most valuable ever d iscovered. I have also prescribed them in Gout and Rheumatism ' as well as other com plaints, in which I have found them equally successful. " Believe me, dear Sir, yours very- sincere'y, To" C. S. Cheddon,.Esq," " JOHN DARWALL, From Dr. Brown, of Glasgow: • " Glasgow August 15, 1833. "D e ar Sir,—From the numerous cases of Scrofula and Scorbu tic Affections which have come under my cats. I have been endea vouring, for a long period, to find out some medicine that would cure these dreadful complaints ; in fact, I have tried almost every medecine I ever heard of, without finding one successful, until I , was induce d to t r y your Pills. After receiving your letter, I de-, termined upon giving them a fair trial—therefore, gave them regu larly to fifteen patients labouring under the worst forms of Scrofula and Scorbutic Affections, and in six weeks, to my astonishment, they were all entirely cured. I have continued prescribing these truly valuable Pills ever since, with the greatest success. " I am, dear Sir, "Yours very truly, To C. S. CHEDDON, Esq.'? " R.

BANK OF ENGLAND. A Special General Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was held yesterday, in the Bank parlour, for the purpose of choosing a Director for the remainder of the year, in place of Timothy Abraham Curtis, Esq., who has been elected Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England. The Court was not so fully attended, there being no opposition ex pected to the gentleman recommended to fill the vacancy by the Court of Directors. James Pattison, Esq., the Governor, the Deputy Gover nor, and a number of the Directors, entered the Court room at about eleven o'clock. After the minutes of the last special meeting, and the advertisement for calling the present Court had been read, The GOVERNOR said, that the Court of Directors had assembled the present Court, on account of the vacancy caused by the election of Timothy Abraham Curtis, Esq., to the office of Deputy-Governor. A public notice had been issued by the Court of Directors, who recommended a gentleman to fill up the vacancy, and if it met the wishes of the Court of Proprietors, the ballot would now be commenced. No other proprietor being named to fill the vacancy, the balloting glasses were opened, and the ballot proceeded with. The glasses were closed at four o'clock, and handed over to the scrutineers, who then retired to examine them, and reported soon afterwards that the election had fallen upon John Cockerel], Esq., and that that gentleman had been nominated by 77 votes. Mr. COCKERELL was then called upon by the Gover nor to take the oaths appertaining to the office of a Direc tor of the Company, viz., the oath of allegiance, supre macy, and qualification, as being the holder of 2,000/. of the stock of the corporation, in his own right, and not in trust ; and also the oath that he would use all the means in his power to promote the interests of the Corporation. The Court then adjourned. THE MURDER OF MR. SOUTHGATE. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 21 . —This day, at eleven o'clock, an inquisition was held in the inquest-room of the sessions'- house, before John Wright, Esq.. the late Mayor, on view of the body of William Southgate, Esq., late Surveyor of his Majesty's Customs at this port, who was barbarously assassinated on Friday morning last by Norman Welch, a weigher in the customs. A respectable jury was impanelled. Mr. Brooke, the attorney, attended professionally to watch the proceedings on the part of the customs. Previous to the evidence being entered into the prisoner was brought in and placed at one end of the room. On his entrance, hat in hand, he, betrayed some symptoms of emotion by a tremulous movement of the body. He soon, however, recovered his self-possession, and did not appear more affected than any of the bystanders. As we have be fore described him, the prisoner is a hale, short, robust man, between krty and fifty years of age, with a countenance and eye expressive of dogged determination, although it could not be designated ferocity. John Pyke, appointer of weights to the Customs of Li verpool ; Richard Fisher, landing waiter ; Joseph Graham, extra weigher ; James M'Gaffie, commissioned weigher ; Robert Clough, sergeant of dock police ; George Kirkby, messenger to the surveyor of Customs, severally deposed to the murder having been perpetrated on Friday the 17th inst., at about a quarter past ten in the morning, to the ex clamations of Mr. Southgate, and to the explicit avowals of the prisoner that he had committed the act. The prisoner declined putting any questions to the above witnesses with the exception of James M'Gaffie, who was thus interrogated : The Coroner (to the prisoner)—Have you any questions to ask the witness ? Prisoner—None, Sir, excepting the si g ning the book. James, now (to the witness), you know that I never can sign the book in a morning before I have had lour or five glasses of rum and water in me. Witness—l do not know that. By a Juror—Do you know whether the prisoner is in the habit of drinking in a morning ? Witness—l cannot say. I have my own business to at tend to ; but I saw him sign the book at the time I signed it myself. William Aspinall, in the employ of Messrs. Williams and Powell, successors to Mr. Patrick, the gunsmith, in Pool lane, deposed that on Thursday night last, between six and seven, the prisoner came to his employers' shop and asked for the pistol that he had looked at a few days before and marked. He said he would purchase it, and his master said the price was one guinea, and he gave that sum for it. Mr. Powell told the witness that the prisoner had called several times about the pistol. He pressed Mr. Powell to load the pistol, as he said he did not understand the percus sion pistols, and Mr. Powell showed him how they were used. He appeared as if he had had a little liquor. The prisoner then asked Mr. Powell to cast him some balls, and the boy went down and cast seven. When the lad brought them the prisoner counted them, and said that he would only take six, which he did. He then asked for some per cussion caps, and Mr. Powell gave him so me. Those that he gave him fitted the pistol. Mr. Powell did not charge him for the caps, and he then showed the pri soner how to place them on the pistol , by putting one on and snapping it off. A young gentleman named Far mouth came into the shop at the time he was pur chasing the pistol, and Mr. Farmouth asked him what he was going to do with the pistol? The prisoner hesitated a little before lie replied, and then said that he was merely going to decide a disputed wager with a friend by shooting at a mark. The prisoner then tried to put a cap on the which he did. and snapped it off in a similar manner to Mr. Powell. He then asked Mr. Powell to put another on for him, which was done, and said that he should let that remain on. The prisoner asked Mr. Powell how long the cap would remain on without decaying—whether it would remain on two days ? and Mr. Powell said that it would. He was then going away with the cap on, and Mr. Powell told him that it was a bad plan to put the cap on before he loaded the pistol. The prisoner asked why ; and he told him because he might shoot himself. Mr. Powell then took the pistol out of his hand and snapped the cap off. The prisoner hesitated rather in going away, and pressed Mr. Powell to put another cap on, which he did. Previous to going away the prisoner asked for some powder, and Mr. Powell gave him two charges in separate papers. The prisoner did not inquire about the quality of the pistol. He might have had a little liquor, but knew perfectly well what he was doing. By Mr. BROOKE—The balls were twenty-six to the pound, and Mr. Powell recommended him to wrap the balls in leather to make them hit. The prisoner declined asking this witness any questions. Mr. Samuel M'Culloch, surgeon, gave evidence as to the ball having entered the body of the deceased under the seventh rib on the left side, and lodged about the eighth rib on the right side. His death took place at a quarter past twelve on Sunday afternoon. Mr. M'Culloch said that the quantity of laudanum in the bottle found on the prisoner might be an ounce. The CORONER directed that the pisto , bottle, and per cussion-caps should be safely sealed, and kept in safe cus tody until the trial. This being the whole evidence, the Jury found a verdict of—Wilful murder against the prisoner, Norman Welch, for the murder of Mr. Southgate. The CORONER, upon this announcement, asked the pri soner if he had anything to say for himself. He was at liberty to please himself whether he said anything or no thing, but whatever he did say would appear against him on his trial. The prisoner said, " I have a deal to say against the deceased," and then hesitated ; and upon the advice of his solicitor, Mr. Toulmin, declined saying anything further. In signing his name to the deposition, the prisoner's hand trembled a little, otherwise the signature was bold and well executed. The Cour t then brok up. AN INSTANCE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF ME CHANICS' INsrarrioNs.—Vv'e had the pleasure of having ex hibited in our office the other day, a beautiful steam engine, at work, of extraordinary minute dimensions ; the engine itself, w i,I, fly'wheel, weighing only seven ounces ! This miniature machine has been made by a young man of the name of West, who is employed at Messrs. Sykes and Sons', Duke-street. It appals it is entirely from the books of the Mechanics' Library, of which.he is a member, that he has obtained so complete and practical a knowledge of this noblest of all mechanical produc ttons—the steam engine.—She.ifield Iris. The Commissioners, pursuant to notice, met this morn ing at Guildhall, and divided themselves into four lists, at which the investigation of four of the minor City Compa nies was fixed to be commenced. The Commissioners in attendance were Sir FRANCIS PALGRAVE, Mr. ELLIS, Mr. JARDINE, and Mr. DRINKWATER. THE APOTHECARIES' COMPANY. (Before Mr. Commissioner al.'s.) The Masters, Wardens, and Court of Assistants of this Company, which may be considered as one of the most im portant, connected as it is with examination of persons exercising the profession of apothecaries throughout the country, of the City Companies, have returned the most full answers to the questions propounded to them by the Commissioners ; and Mr. Field, the Deputy Master, and Mr. Upton, the Clerk, attended to-day for the purpose of giving every other information which might be required, re lative to the administration of its affairs. The information furnished by the answers made by the Company as well as by Mr. Field and Mr. Upton, is as fol lows : The Charter granted to the Company constituted them as Master, Wardens, and Society of the art and mystery of apothecaries of London. The first call of the livery was in 1670. The number of the liverymen was originally fixed at 150. It was a matter of doubt whether any attempt had been made to increase the number. The ruling body consisted of iinefr-Master, two Wardens, and 21 members of the Court of Assistants. The Master and Wardens were elected from the Court of Assistants, and no attempt had been made either by an application to a Court of Law, or in any other way to throw open the suffrage. At elections, to fill up vacancies in the Court of Assistants, the livery were summoned, and the names called over, until one was come to who might be considered as eligible to serve ; and the party was proposed by some member, and, if the nomi nation was seconded, a ballot immediately took place. If the ballot was unsuccessful, further names were called over until a liveryman was chosen. It did not often recur that a second name was proposed. The election in the Court of Assistants was for life ; but as there was no pecuniary trust, neither the Master, Wardens, nor Court of Assist ants gave security. Religious principles were not consulted in the elections—a Roman Catholic had been in the Court of Assistants. Mr. ELLIS asked if there was not a system of rotation ? Mr. Field said to a certain degree a system of rotation was followed. These was a right claimed by the King's Apothecary to be placed on the Court of Assistants. The claim had been in abqance for a great many years, and the right was exercised on the appointment of the apothecary at the commencement of the reign of George the Fourth. It was in the re an or James the Second that t he Kin g 's Ap o thecary was first placed on the Court of Assistants. The King's Apothecary must be a member of the Apothe caries' Company. Mr. Upton said, by Act of Parliament, the Master and Wardens had the power to appoint a Deputy Master and Wardens. The 15th Geo. 111. gave this power. The im portant duty the Court of Assistants had to perform under the Act of George 111., in appointing examiners to license apothecaries, rendered the selection of persons to serve on the Court of Assistants a matter of much more care than previously, and none now were elected on the Court of As sistants unless they were engaged in business as apotheca ries, surgeons, or in any other branch of the art, or had re tired from similar professions. The Act of 50 Geo. 111., authorising the Apothecaries' Company to appoint a Court of Examiners for licensing apothecaries, rendered it im portant that the parties selected for the purposes intended should be every way qualified for the duty. The examina tions of parties applyinc , for a license to practise as an apothecary were conducted with much more care and atten tion than formerly. It was absolutely necessary that the candidates should have a knowledge of the Latin, and they were called upon to translate Celsus and other authors. It was not formerly the case that they were recommended to have a knowledge of the dead languages. It was now strongly recommended that applicants for licenses should have such knowledge, as well as of the French language. Mr. ELLIS asked if it was not absolutely necessary to have a knowledge of French ? Was not the French Phar macopoeia in the language of that country ? Mr. Field replied that the Pharmacopoeia of France, as indeed of most foreign States, was compiled in the Latin language. That, however, mattered little to the examina tion of the licentiates, as the Pharmacopoeia of London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow were only attended to by the practitioners here. Mr. Upton said, as the privileges of the Apothecaries' Company extended over the whole country, the exami nation of applicants for licenses were, consequently, nume rous, and it was important that licentiates should also be fully prepared for the profession. It was, therefore, now strongly recommended to students to obtain a knowledge of the dead languages. The Warden examined the appli cants in the Latin language. Mr. ELLIS—How many persons passed their examina tion yearly before the Court of Examiners ? Mr. Upton said he could not state with accuracy. He thought, however, they exceeded 400. The evidence was proceeded with. The Court of Assist ants was always fully attended, as, independently of some of its members who were of extreme old age, there were suffi cient to constitute a Court. Thirteen members were - a quorum under the provisions of the Act. There was a fine on the refusal of the members of the Court elected to serve as Master. The fine was 50/. There were two dinners during the year. The first was in July, called the Herba lizing Dinner, at which the livery and yeomen of the Com pany were invited ; the Stewards being allowed 2s. 6d. for each person who attended, they making up the deficiency. The other dinner was on Lord Mayor's Day, and was con fined to the Livery. Mr. ELLIS asked if the fine on the Stewards was not pany for thilicense. Mr. Field said there were some persons connected with the Company who were not apothecaries ; but all the mem bers of the Court of Assistants were now members of the profession. All complaints of an infringement of the Apo thecaries' Act were brought before the Court. The evidence was resumed—There is a Standing Com mittee for the management of the botanic garden, and two courses of lectures on botany are given in each year. The Society's by-laws were submitted formerly to the Lord Chancellor and Judges for approbation. The last by-laws had not been submitted to the Lord Chancellor through the expense, amounting to about 801. The by-laws were dated in the month of April, 1824. The members of the Company had made no complaints relative to the conduct of the Court of Assistants, and no applications for a man damus had ever been made to a Court of Justice by either the liverymen or freemen against the Court of Assistants. Power was given to the Company by charter to examine the drugs in the apothecaries' shops throughout the country. Before the admission of parties into the Company was al lowed, they were examined according to the Act of 1814. Power was also vested in the Company to destroy drugs ascertained to be of bad quality by the examiners - ; but this was seldom done, as the owners of drugs were informed of the examiners' report, and contrived to get rid of the spu rious commodities. The Apothecaries' Company were granted their charter in the 14th of James I. Before this the Company alluded to and the Grocers' Company were united under one Charter. The Company were prevented by want of funds from enforcing the powers to the full extent, as allowed by Charter and Act of Par liament. There is but little property in the posses sion of the Company. The ground on which the Hall stands, as well as some land near it, belonged to the Company, and from the Corporation of London they have also a lease of a piece of ground extending to the bank of the river from their own premises, which was granted in 1667 for 999 years, on condition of raising an embank ment opposite the ground. On a part of this ground some of the houses in Chatham-place are erected. The Hall was destroyed in the great fire of London, and was again erected by subscription made by Members of the Company. Towards defraying the expenses of the botanical garden a fee of half a guinea is required from each Member of the Company, though this sum is not often exacted. Last year the income of the Company was 1461. from the garden, 121/. for fees on admission to the Livery, and 1341. for fines on grants of freedom. No persons have been per mitted to take up their freedom by redemption for the last seven years. The only charitable fund at the disposal of the Company was a subscription for poor widows. The chief expenses of the Company are the salaries paid to the clerks, beadles, lecturers, &c., and the charge for the bo tanical excursions. The accounts are kept in the names of the Master and 'Wardens, who are responsible to the Court of Assistants. There are two classes of persons allowed to join in the trading concerns of the Company—the one class is limited to 120, and the other to 240 members. The junior class are only allowed to possess an amount of capital equivalent to one-seventh of that held by the senior class. There is a Committee of Proprietors annually ap pointed for managing the trading concerns of the Company. Mr. Woodthorpe said that he had found several cases in the books of the Corporation, in which it appeared that the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen had exercised a control in the affairs of the Apothecaries' Company. In one case in particular, in 1661, Walter Penning and two other liverymen of the Company made a complaint to the Court of Aldermen, that the assistants of the Apothecaries' Company had appointed two junior liverymen to the Court, and had passed over their names. The Court of Aldermen determined that the livery ought to be appointed by seniority to the Court, unless good reason was given for acting con trarily, and therefore directed the Company to admit the parties complaining. Mr. Field said that, generally speaking, persons were admitted to the Court by seniority. An exception was always made in the case of the King's apothecary. Since the passing of the Act in 1814, it had become necessary that none but prudent and discreet persons should be ad mitted to the Court, as they had to examine candidates for admission as apothecaries. Mr. &A.'s said that the fullest information had been fur nished respecting the Company. It was stated, during the inquiry, that the members of the Apothecaries' Company were more numerous than any other Company in the city, and that an unlimited number might be made. The proceedings were conducted rather in a conversational tone, which rendered it extremely difficult to catch, with accuracy, facts stated to the Commissioners. REGISTRATION OF THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. The barristers appointed to revise the lists of voters for the borough of Southwark (Mr. V. KNox and Mr. C. B. LENNARD) opened their respective Courts yesterday at the Town-hall, St. Margaret's-hill. (Before Mr. KNox.) The lists of the parishes of Christchurch, St. George-in the-Fields, and St. Saviour's, came under revision. Mr. Meymott, the vestry-clerk of the parish of Christ church, stated that, in his lists were contained the names of several gentlemen who had compounded for the , rates charged upon houses their property, but not in any case occupied by them. He therefore, on the ground of a want of occupation, submitted to the revising barrister that all such names must be expunged from the lists. Mr. KNox said that making this statement now before him was not sufficient to put the individuals situated as had been stated off the register. The names of these parties ought never to be put upon the lists by the overseers, who had not the same power of objecting to borough voters as was vested in them by the Reform Act with respect to county voters. Whether the objection was good or bad, these names must, in the absence of any objection taken by third parties (themselves electors),remain upon the lists. large ? Mr. Field said the Stewards elected eat their way up to the appointment. They could not be called upon to act until they were near 50 years of age, and before that time they must have had a great many dinners. The quarterage paid by the freemen of 10s. 6d. a year was appropriated to maintaining the Botanic Garden at Chelsea. The freedom of the Company was obtained by patrimony, servitude, and redemption ; females were en titled to be free by patrimony, but they could not transmit the right by marriage. The redemption now cost 105/. The form of admission.to the Company as a freeman was similar to that in other Companies. A breach of the inden tures by marria g e vitiated the right of t he apprentice to be admitted to the freedom of the Company. Mr. ELLis—But such instances frequently occur. Mr. Field did not consider that it happened often. He thought persons who were studying for the medical profes sion did not marry as soon generally as those in other pro fessions. He had, however, never thought of inquiring upon this point. If apprentices married they could not faithfully perform their articles of apprenticeship. In reply to other questions, he stated that voluminous evidence had been given before the Commons' Committee on the Medi cal Profession, connected with matters, among others, re lating to the Apothecaries' Company. That evidence ex tended to many folio volumes, and would be published soon. Mr. Upton stated that there was no penalty on binding any person as a freeman of the Company, unless it was done at the Hall. Mr. Ews said the Apothecaries' Company appeared to be distinct from any other, having specific powers, and was a trading Company. Mr. Upton said that was the case. There was only one case of freedom having been conferred by gift. In 1704, the fine for making a freeman was 25/. • but in 1754, on a particular occasion, it was 11/. It had been gradually raised to 1051. in 1833. By the Charter, the Company had the power of examining persons practising within seven miles of London ; and the old right was exercised, but, practically speaking, the examination of all persons to practise as apo thecaries had its date from the passing of the Act 25th of Geo. 111. There were no instances of disfranchisement, except upon application made by freemen who were desirous of becoming licentiates of the Royal College of Physicians. Such disfranchisement was required by the College of Phy sicians. There were many of the freemen of the Company who were not free of the City. Mr. Woodthorpe said it was the - duty of the lesser Guilds to make a return to the Chamberlain's-of f ice of such mem bers of the Companies who were not free of the City. By the Charter of Edward the Third, parties who were not free could not keep open their shops in the City. Mr. Ews said that there were Corporations who tran sacted business in the City without being free of it. Mr. Woodthorpe—Yes, there is the Bank of England, the Directors of which are great money-dealers ;—the East India Company ;—but these were regulated by Acts of Parliament. Thre were also private bankers, who were also retail money-dealers. The Apothecaries' Company, ST. GEORGE-IN-THE-FIELDS. Mr. KNox, on looking over the list of this parish, ob served that the Christian names (and especially in cases where parties had a second) were stated merely by initials. He should require to be furnished with such information as would enable him to fill up these blanks. Mr. Fitch, the Vestry-Clerk, said that in all these cases letters had been addressed by him to the parties themselves requesting them to furnish the requisite information. These had in some instances met attention, but in the majority of cases, the replies had been most insolent, refusing alto gether to supply accurately the Christian names. Mr. Smith, the vestry-clerk of St. Saviour's remarked that the determination not to give their Christian names might easily be accounted for. The parties had dis Covered that the register had been very useful in supplying the Christian names of parties whom they were employed to sue, and hence it was that many persons were cautious in giving that information which, one day or other, might be employed against themselves. The list, which contained neither objection nor new claims, was then revised, and the omission in Christian names supplied by the overseers and officers in attendance. The list of the parish of St. Saviour presented no ob jections, nor had there been any notices of claim served upon the parochial authorities. On closing these lists, Mr. KNOX said that the great accuracy and general cor rectness with which. the lists had been prepared reflected the highest credit upon the parties charged with the dis charge of these duties. Mr. Fitch said the expense to him had been at least 251., and it was h hardship upon him that there was no provision in the statute either for his reimbursement or remunerating him for his trouble. Mr. KNOX admitted the hardship, but stated he had no power to make any order for payment. He could not avoid complimenting the authorities upon the admirable manner in which the lists had been prepared. The result was, that the revision of the lists, comprising nearly 5,000 electors, had been completed in two hours and a half, and without the necessity of an adjournment. In the list of St. Sa viour's, he must add (a list containing upwards of 700 names), there was not a single error, nor had he one cor rection to make. It was highly creditable to all parties concerned. Mr. LENNARD expressed his entire concurrence in what had fallen from his learned colleague, and added, that he should have been happy if he could have extended his ap probation to the country lists of county voters. (Before Mr. C. B. LENNARD.) The parishes whose lists came before Mr. LENNARD were those of St. Thomas, St. Olave, St. John, St. Mary, Bermondsey, and Rotherhithe, In none Qf these were 4 There n n made / (except those which arose on finding initials put for Christian names), save ( in the list of St. John's, in which a case arose as to the RIGHTS OF SCOT AND LOT VOTERS. ' ln this case Mr. Goddard (whose name had not been in.: • serted by the overseers) claimed to be inserted, on the • groand that he was a scot and lot voter. • `" Mr. Doughney, the vestry-clerk, objected—first, on the ground that if Mr.-Goddard claimed under the Reform Act as the occupier of a house of 10/. a year, he had not com- MMO plied with the conditions of the Act, which required that the assessed taxes due on the 6th of April should be paid P RICE 71). on or before the 20th of July ; that objection would at once be fatal to his claim to vote under the Act. But he also objected to his claim as a scot and lot voter, on the ground that he had not complied with the conditions which the law as it stood before the passing of the Reform Act (and which in this respect was still in force) annexed to a scot and lot vote—namely, that the party claiming to vote should have paid up all poor-rates made and demanded of him before the day of election. Mr. Goddard produced a receipt which showed that he had paid before the 20th of July all the poor-rates made up to the 6th of April, and he contended that that was sufficient. He had not, it was true, paid his assessed taxes, but it was not necessary that he should do so to support his ,claim as a scot and lot voter. He also contended, that while the Reform Act gave many privileges as to th e r i g ht of voting, it did not take away any of those which had al ready existed. He had his privilege as a scot and lot voter, and in addition, he considered that he had also a right to the benefits conferred by the new Act ; otherwise, of what use was the passing of that act to him ? He had paid the poor-rates up to April ; that, he maintained, was all that the law required of him. Mr. Doughney observed that this was Mr. Goddard's mistake. In claiming as a scot and lot voter he must com ply with the conditions which would have been required of him if the Reform Act had not passed. Mr. LENNARD said that the claimant might make his claim either under the new Act or under the old law as a scot and lot voter ; but it was clear that in whichever cha racter he claimed he must comply with the conditions an nexed to his vote in either. Mr. Doughney said it was quite clear that by the law as it stood before the Reform Ac- the claimant of the right to vote by scot and lot was bound to pay.all poor-rates made and demanded of him up to the day before the election. In Orme's work on the election law, page 2-12-3, it appeared that in the Bridgewater case, a voter who had refused to pay his rate the day before the election, made a tender of it to the collector on the day of the election, and even left the amount on the table, but tl-e returning officei• refused his vote, and the refusal was he'd good. Now, the Reform Act fixed the day of registration in the place of,that of the election, and the scot and lot voter was now bound to pay his poor-rates, if demanded, bef ore th e reg i s t rat i on , as h e would formerly have been bound before the day of election. Not having done so, the present claiMant had, he contended, no right to have his name placed on the list. • Mr. LENNARD, who went into the other court to consult with Mr. Knox, returned in a few Minutes, accompanied by that gentleman. Mr. KNox said, that having heard the case, he had no doubt whatever that the complainant had not complied with the conditions of the. Act, so as to entitle him to have his name placed on the list. The•case came within the 32d section of the Reform Act, which enacted, " That every person who would have been entitled to vote in the elec tion of a member or members to serve in any future Par liament for any city or borough not included in schedule A, either as a burgess or freeman,.or in the city of London as a freeman or liveryman, if this Act had not been passed, shall be entitled to vote in such election, provided such person shall be duly registered according to the provisions hereinafter contained ; but that no such person shall be so registered in any year unless he shall, on the last day of July in such year, be qualified in such manner as would entitle him then to vote, if such day were the day of elec tion." It was beyond all doubt that under the old system the claimant would have been and was still bound to pay the poor-rates demanded of him before the election-day, and not having done so on the 30th of July, which the Re form Act had put, instead of the election-day, he lost his right to have his name placed on the list. Mr. LENNARD took the same view of the case as his learned colleague. He asked whether• a demand had been made on the claimant to pay the poor -rates due before the 20th day of July. Mr. Goddard denied that what he considered a legal de mand had been made on him. The collector was then sworn, and proved that he had left the usual printed notice of the rate and of the amount which Mr. Goddard had to pay. Mr. Goddard said, that he considered that only as a notice that a rate had been made, - and not a demand for payment. The collector said, that he had called more than once after, and saw Mr. Goddard's daughter, and demanded the rate. Mr. LENNARD held this to be a sufficient demand within the Act, and looking at all the circumstances, stated that he must reject the claim. Mr. Doughney said he was sorry Mr. Goddard had lost his vote, but he felt it his duty, acting for the parish, to enter an objection to wh a t h e considered a bad claim. He had on a former occasion objected to twelve claimants, under nearly the same circumstances, and they were all rejected. It was right that the claimants should know what the law was, and they must be continued in error, if claims without good grounds were a ll owe d to pass w i t h out o bj ect i on. T o show that all due diligence had been used to put the pa rishioners right as to the course they were to take in mak ing claims or objections to the claims of others, or in cases where objections were made against them, he produced a large placard, 1,000 copies of which were circulated through the parish, in which all the necessary information on these points was clearly given. Mr. Goddard's claim having been dismissed, that gentle man retired, evidently much dissatisfied that the barristers' construction of the Reform Act was so different from the views which he had taken of it. The other lists were then gone through, with only such alterations as were necessary in cases of death, or in suppling Christian names in full, where Qnly initials had been given. Indeed the lists of the parishes in the borough were so accurately made out, as to require no other corrections.--Adjourned. DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND AT TEMPTED MURDER AT WHETSTONE. The following is a more full app ani,l precise account of the deperate attempt at murder an'j highway robbery upon the persons of an elderly man named James Giff Thursby, be tween Whetstone and ;carnet, on the evening of Monday week last. The unfortunate sufferer, however, is not dead as stated, but still remains in a most deplorable and preca rious condition in Barnet workhouse. The statement of his having died on Monday night of the injuries he received arose from such a report having reached the constabulary of Finchley. on Tuesday, but on personal inquiry at Barnet workhouse yesterday (Wednesday) Thursby was still alive, although his dissolution was momentarily expected. It appears that the old man, who is in his 63d year, was recommended to a gentleman named Crawley, residing at East Barnet, as a proper person to take charge of a large dwelling at Whetstone, the property of the same person, for the purpose of showing it to palties who might be desirous of renting it. The house is situated a little out of the Main road, being surrounded by a paddock and garden. It contained no furniture, with the exception of one room occupied by Thursby. On the evening of Monday week last the old man left the house, accompanied by a dog, for the purpose of delivering a message from his employer, Mr. Crawley, at a neighbouring residence. Having done so, be was on his return home, when he was accosted by five men, who in the first instance stripped him of his hat and wig, and struck him over the shins and hands with their sticks. The victim of their attack fled for refuge into a beer-shop, which is lonely situated on the road side, and kept by a poor woman named Grinds. The five ruffians gained ingress into the shop by jumping through the win dows, and by menaces obtained a quantity of beer : the woman being without any protection could not prevent the robbery. In the beer-shop the villains beat the old man Thursby severely, and as there was no hope of succour for him, he fled backwards into a field, for the purpose of en deavouring to reach his home, which was absut .500 or 600 yards distant. The, whole of the villains pursued their helpless victim, and having overtaken him knocked him down, and beat him, about the head with their bludgeons, as well as kicked him violently. Having robbed him of the little property he had about him, which was a few shil lings, and som e o th er t r ifl es , they left him for dead. In this condition he was discovered, weltering in his blood, by Buckthorp, overseer of East Barnet, aneAbingdon, a con stable of the same place : these persons, with the assistance of Collard, one of the Bow -street mounted police, who came up shortly afterwards., removed the sufferer to the room which he occupied in Mr. Crawley's house ; and Mr. Morrison, a medical gentleman residing at Barnet, promptly attended, and dre,ssed the wounds on the old man's head, which were a most dangerous and extensive nature. He had also; received severe injuries of the spine and other parts of the body. Collard, the patrol, succeeded in apprehend ing two of the men the same evening at Barnet, of the names of Peat and Abraham Banks alias Hamshanks. They are two of a most desperate gang who infest and are the terror of Whetstone, Barnet, and adjacent places. Two days after the outrage they underwent an examination before Dr. Loudon, the magistrate of Totteridge, when Thursby, the victim of their brutality, identified th em as two of the five men who had treated him in the manner de.. scribed. They subsequently underwent at► examination be fore the magistrates at St. Alban's, hnd are now in Hert ford gaol. No hopes are entertailied of the ultimate reco very o f Thursby, from thc so?;ere injuries he has received. —Morning Paper, Just published, in 2 vols.
