TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1834 AT REDUCED FARES. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Incorporated by Act of Parliament. PRICE 7D ANECDOTES OF LORD BROUGHAM. The Aberdeen Journal states that " the Lord Chancellor was in high spirits, and singularly entertaining in conversa tion. He had never been so far north before as Dunrobin Castle ; but he mentioned, that many years ago he had walked over great part of the Highlands with a fri en d, on which occasion they bad been at Lochbroom in Ross-shire, from whence they proceeded across the country to Peter head, where they embarked for Norway, where they landed, and met with a variety of adverse casualties, including ship wreck, before they returned to England."—" We under stand," adds our contemporary, "that his Lordship is still a great pedestrian, and thinks nothing of walking four miles an hour." We believe the friend alluded to in this state ment was the present Premier, then the Hon. Wm. Lamb. Many years ago a respectable proprietor in Ross-shire was informed by a messenger, that two gentlemen were at the Inn at Contin, desirous of speaking with him. He repaired to the spot, and on entering the ehange-house saw, to his great surprise, his acquaintance Mr. Henry Brougham dressed in a kilt, sitting with his feet and legs in a pail of water, and Mr. William Lamb sitting beside him, appa rently very tired and woe-begone. After mutual congra tulations, the travellers stated that they were on a walking excursion through the Highlands, and wore considerably fatigued. The gentleman pressed them to go to his house, but this they declined. Some mountain-dew was called in, and after the glass had circulated a short time, and many a humorous sally and pithy remark were made, the two stran gers—little dreaming, we daresay, that one was to be First Minister and the other the Lord Chancellor of England—. slung their knapsacks on their backs and departed. The energy and perseverance of Brougham at this period of his life led all who knew him to predict his future elevation ; and on this head we were told lately an interesting anec dote of a Glasgow gentleman of great respectability, the father of the present Sheriff of Ross-shire. So strongly impressed was this gentleman of Brougham's political powers and transcendent talents, that when the latter was a very young man, Mr. Jardine predicted he would rise to be a Cabinet Minister. He wagered with one of his Tory friends ten guineas to one th a t thi s wou ld b e the case ; and though he did not live to see it realised, so deep-rooted was his conviction that it would take place, that he left a memorandum with his will, stating the circumstance, and directing that, if he won the bet, the ten guineas were to. be paid over to the Glasgow Infirmary. This was actually dcne after Lord Brougham's elevation to the Woolsack.— Inverness Courier. FRENCH PAPERS. which should not extend its operations beyond the Ebro. The blindness of the rebels is so great, that in spite of the proofs daily given them of the vigilance of the French Go vernment, and its determination to prevent the entry into Spain of arms, horses, ammunition, or any other article of a warlike nature, they continually flatter themselves with the hope of being supported by the French in their enterprise. This infatuation, which the Chiefs do all in their power to maintain, will never be dispelled but by a practical demon stration on the part of the French Government, and also of the English Government, in support of Queen Isabel, and the presence of a French army on the Spanish territory would be sufficient to confound the rebels, and cause the arms to fall from their hands. If such a demonstration had taken place at the beginning, we should have been spared , all the misfortunes we now deplore ; but if made even now, we shall be spared those calamities which we shall other wise be sure to experience. Is it not a matter of despair for gotid citizens to be reduced to the sad conviction that the means employed up to the present clay will not crush the insurrection until after the complete ruin of the four ' provinces, and that the song of victory will only be raised over tombs and desolation ? All feeling of national vanity, however noble in its souree, ought to yield to the considera tion of so dreadful a catastrophe, We who live upon the spot, who see with our own eyes the fatal progress of the disorder, and have every motive to proclaim its severity— we do not understand how the national honour would be tarnished by the collection of a few auxiliary troops, which would crush at one blow the insurrection in the north. We believe we have only performed our duty in unveiling the full extent. of our evils, and in expressing with frankness our opinion on the mode of putting an end to them. It only remains for us to express a hope of seeing those means put in execution by the enlightened Government which watches over our destinies."

We insert a Circular of the Poor Law Commissioners, fifteen thousand of which have been issued from the Central Board ; and it will be satisfactOry to the pub lic to know that the beneficial effects of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill are already manifesting themselves in almost every parish, by a diminution of the poor rates. The clause relative to settlement by hiring and service has given general satisfaction, and even among the Magistracy who were opposed to the Bill. Numerous applications are daily received at the Central Board, requesting not only full information as to the several clauses of the Bill, but the personal co-operation of the Commissioners in carrying them into effect: they have, however, till they shall have received all the ne cessary information, deemed it more advisable to de cline personal interference. TO THE CHURCHWARDENS AND OVERSEERS AND THE OTHER OFFICERS CHARGED WITH THE RELIEF OF THE POOR. " Office of the Poor-law Commissioners, Sept. 4, 1834. " Gentlemen—l am directed by the Board of Poor-law Commissioners for England and Wales to transmit to you a copy of the Act of the 4th and sth William IV., cap. 76, for the amendment and better administration of the laws for the relief of the poor in England and Wales, and his Majesty's Commissioners request your immediate and careful attention to its provisions. " The attention of the Board having been particularly directed to the operation of the .52d and 54th clauses of the Act, the commissioners feel themselves called upon to point out that the boards of guardians, select vestries, and other district or parochial officers acting in the administra tion of parochial affairs under any general or local Act, and also the churchwardens and overseers charged with the re lief of the poor, in any place where there is no board of guardians, select vestry, or other. similar body constituted under any general or local act, are to continue to administer the existing the existing laws for the relief of the poor of .the parish or place for which they act ; and that, subject to the provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Act, the ge neral transaction of parochial business should (with strict attention to economy, and as far as the same is authorized by law) be continued in the accustomed course until the rules, orders, and regulations which the commissioners are authorized to make, shall have been duly prepared and pro mulgated. " - In reference to the change in the law which is effected by the 54th clause, the commissioners are desirous that the boards of guardians, select vestries, and other similar bodies, should take into their immediate consideration the expediency of adopting such measures (either by establish ing rotas or otherwise), as may appear to them best adapted for securing frequent and regular attendances for the or dering and directing of the necessary relief to the poor. " I am further directed to recommend to your especial notice, the enactments with relation to contracts for sup plies of goods for the use of the poor, and to suggest to you, for the avoidance of future inconvenience and pecuniary loss to which you might otherwise become liable, that in the case of the renewal of any contract on behalf of your parish now about to cease, you should cause to be inserted a clause to the following effect That the said contract or agreement shall be liable to be altered or amended in case any alteration or amendment be rendered necessary by any rule, order, or regulation of the P oor -l aw Commis sioners for England and Wales, which may come into effect, during the period that such contract or agreement would otherwise remain in force.' " I am directed also to request your attention to the the clause respecting the appointment of paid officers ; and to inform you that, although any appointments which are now about to cease may be renewed, and any new appoint ments may be made by the usual authorities, and, for the present, in the customary manner, still that the officers, when appointed, must consider themselves as liable to be placed under such regulations as the central board may hereafter provide for the more uniform, correct, and efficient performance of-the public service. " The board consider it to be desirable that you should submit this letter to a vestry meeting or a meeting of the board of guardians, or such body as may be charged with the administration of relief in your parish, and state to them— " That the commissioners are desirous of receiving from them, or from yourselves, full information of the existence in your parish of any evils, for the removal of which it is considered that the powers entrusted to the board may be rendered available ; and likewise of any improvement which may have been adopted in the mode of administering relief in your parish. And as it is highly important that the commissioners should be immediately made acquainted with the present state of your parish, in common with that of other parishes throughout the country, you are requested to prepare, as speedily as possible, answers to the questions herewith transmitted.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient servant, " EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary." • Many a child is brought to me in my room for a little reward of a tract, &c.

Many of the subscribers being absent at the Heaton Park Races there was scarcely any business done ; the only horses mentioned were the following : GRAND DUKE MICHAEL STAKES. 5 to 2 agst 11r. -'s Paris (taken freely) 3 to 1 agst Mr. Watts's Bentley 9 to 2 agst Mr. Gully's Viator GARDEN STAKES. 6 to 4 was laid freely on Lord Jersey's Glencoe Nothing else mentioned. JOHN O'GAUNT'S BOWMEN. ( Froni the Lancaster Gazette.) On Thursday last the archery grounds appropriated to the use of this distinguished association of bowmen presented one of the most interesting scenes that a lover of good old E ng _ lish manly sports could desire to witness. The prizes which on this occasion rewarded the successful archers, who still maintain the reputation that lingers in the native land of Robin Hood, were as follow :—First and highest prize, the golden arrow, for the highest score generally, at both distances; second, the prize for a centre shot, bow and arrows ; third, the silver arrow ; and fourth, the gold medal. Soon after one o'clock the members of the Soci e t y b egan to assemble. A few minutes before the hour appoint e d f or the commencement of the sport an open carriage drov e i nto the grounds, in which were the Countess of Lincoln, the Right Hon. E. G. S. Stanley, &c. Other equipages quickly fol lewed, in which were the Earl of Lincoln, E. R. G. Braddyll, Esq., E. G. Hornby, Esq., M. P., J. Dalton, Esq., and fa mily, Mrs. Nowell, Miss Kenrick, &c. The spectators were between two and three thousand in number, comprising the rank and fashion of the whole town and neighbourhood. The targets were placed at a distance of ninety yards, and one portion of the shooting took place at the full distance, the other at sixty yards, banners being placed to mark the lesser distance. A musical band was in attendance, and played during the intervals of the shooting. Several tents were spread, in which were refreshments for the use of the Society of their guests ; to these the more distinguished portion of the company were invited in the intervals between the two principal divi sions which took place in the shooting. The following gentlemen obtained the prizes s—The first and , highest of this day, Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, Esq., of Ros sall Hall, M. P., for Preston ; the second, Colonel Parker; the third, by Mr. Thompson, of Galgate ; the fourth, by Mr. Mason, of Lancaster. Mr. Seed, surgeon, received on the occasion the gold cup which had been won by that gentleman at one of the meetings about a month since. The several prizes were distributed by the Countess with so much grace and condescension, and at the same time with so much of sympathy in the natural exultation in the winner, as greatly to enhance the triumph of his success, and to " win golden opinions from all sorts of men." Her Ladyship, in giving the arrow to Mr. Hesketh Fleetwood, received him as an acquaint ance, and cordially shaking hands with him, offered her con gratulations on his success. When the amusements of the day had concluded, Mr. Flea keth Fleetwood addressed the Lady Patroness, and at the Con clusion three hearty cheers were given for Lady Lincoln, which being acknowledged with much apparent pleasure, the party separated. We never saw the ex- Secretary for the Colonies look in better health or spirits. The Earl of Lincoln appeared to take much interest in the proceedings bf the day. THE BALL AND SUPPER. About the usual hour the company arrived at the assembly room. The same distinguished persons whom we have named above were present, the assemblage altogether con sisting of about one hundred and fifty. The quadrille band was in high order, and dancing was kept up with becoming spirit till about half-past eleven, when supper was announced. The health of the King and Royal Family, and other routine toasts, having been duly disposed of, others of a more local nrture succeeded. Mr. Braddyll, of Conishead Priory, was the President ; Colonel Parker officiated as Vice, and the other prize bowmen acted at the extremities of the other tables. At length the ladies retired to the ball-room. The gentle men almost immediately followed, and dancing was kept up till a late hour. BOWING MATCH. The annual contest - for a wherry and other prizes, given by the inhabitants of St. Mary-le-Strand and St. Clement Danes, took place yesterday. The match was one of little or no in terest, and was decided by sixteen pairs of sculls (two in a boat), in three heats. The grand heat was won by James Brianstone and John Rutland. Coleridge, Southey, and Wordsworth married three sisters, Bristol ladies, named Fricker. • (From the Moniteur of Sunday.) A despatch from Bayonne, dated the 19th, states that on the 16th Zumalacarregui was at Munariz, near Estella. As'to Don Carlos, some say he is gone to join Zumalacar regui ; others pretend that he keeps out of the way with great care. This uncerta;nty regarding Don Carlos, added to Zumalacarregui's being so far off, and to the occupation of Elisondo, have thrown the Carlists in the Bastan into a great depression of spirits. For nearly the last fortnight the Junta has been without money. Another despatch, dated this day, states that the cholera was committing great ravages in Bilboa. About 100 per sons were dying of it every day. The French Consul is among the number of the victims. The insurrection is not making any progress in Biscay. (From the Journal des Debate of Sunday.) One of the late numbers of the Bulletin of Guipuscoa contains a very interesting article respecting the state of the insurgont provinces of the North of Spain. We think it right to place it before our readers, refraining, however, from identifying ourselves with the opinions it expresses, and from giving our assent to all the remedies it proposes. In reading this article, it should he recollected that it is written in the. scene of misfortunes which' it deplores, and that, consequently, it cannot be exempt from a sort of na tural inclination to darken the mournful picture which the writer has under his eyes, and to exaggerate the ills in which he himself participates : " ST. SEBASTIAN, SEPT. 10.—Eleven months have passed since the last sigh of our King had for its echo the cry of rebellion, raised by a small band of ambitious' indi viduals, who for more than ten years usurped the exclusive title of defenders of the throne. The first cry of revolu tion was heard in the town of Bilboa ; but shortly the revolutionary fury spread with electric rapidity to the city of Vittoria. Individuals constituting themselves public authorities lighted up a general insurrection in the two pro vinces of Biscay and Alava. Guipuscoa remained tranquil, but the Alavese and the Biscayans made an irruption there, and revolt followed their path in every' direction. A rebellious deputation was installed, the insurrection effected, and the rebellious faction was rapidly swelled by men de sirous only of disorder and pillage. The prodigious rapi dity of their movements forced the Commandant-General Castagnon, who left St. Sebastian at the head of 400 men for the purpose of proceeding to Biscay, to retrograde on Tolosa, and afterwards on St. Sebastian. One of the first measures adopted was the formation of a column of 500 volunteers, under the orders of the distinguished Colonel Jauregui, who should co-operate with the troops of the line in re-establishing tranquillity. The toils and dangers of this small band of brave men were heroic ; at each ren centre they put the rebels to flight ; but the country was inundated by hordes, who came out of Alava and Biscay. It became necessary on the 7th of November, 1833, to recall the moveable column to the interior of the for tress, which had been faithfully guarded during the ab sence of the troops by the Urban Volunteers. In con sequence of the want of sufficient force in support of the Government, the insurrection which existed in the other three provinces extended to Navarre. Thus 450 square leagues and 600,000 inhabitants remained at the mercy of the rebels,, for throughout the whole extent of that district there was to be found no other military force than two feeble garrisons separated from each other by a distance of fifteen leagues, and reduced to the absolute impossibility of communicating with each other. All the faithful sub jects of the Government of Donna Isabel 11. having taken refuge within the ramparts of St. Sebastian, anxiously ex pected every day that the government would send an army to protect their property, and to punish the disaffected. But, unfortunately, the appearance of this array was for a long time delayed ; and when it at last arrived, its strength was found to be very insufficient to suppress an insurrection of such vast extent. Nevertheless, the first operations of General Saarsfield produced a total dispersion of the insur gents, and compelled several of their mast influential chiefs to fly to France. But afterwards, having reco vered from the first impression of terror, they re-formed their battalions, completed the skeletons by a forced recruit ing, and thus collected together more than 16,000 armed men. The command was then withdrawn from General Saarsfield. who was replaced by General Don Gevonimo Valdes, who in the opinion of military men of sound judgment engaged in the pursuit of tho rebels with greater ability and greater ac tivity. But the insufficiency of the force under his dis posal allowed him no opportunity of obtaining advantages worthy of his bravery and patriotism. The physical suf-. fe he w rin gs of was replaced General byG forced enhimeri Q a besides n esara,ma desire Marquis of se, and Momayo, whose appointment was received with general ap probation. Nevertheless, although he displayed great zeal h and isc gr am e p at knowledge aign again n of h d nmo t ns a tr t sort ate of w demonstrated the the im aa pn rf s r a l b , i t l he results ity nf of crush ing the insurrection by so feeble an army. The. Govern ment at length was convinced that this war required a display of force, a n d a G enera l distin gwvnehryiich she previous success. C o n sequen tl y , t h e army different b y hadentered Portugal for the expulsion of the two Pretenders was directed to proceed to Navarre, which it entered amidst the acelammations of all good citizens, who founded an expectation of the prompt pacification of the country on the martial bearing of those brave soldiers, and on the great reputation of their General-in- Chief, the Marquis de Rodil. But just at the moment that this (the fourth) General was taking his measures for opening the campaign with advantage, an incident took place which gave a new complexion to the civil war. The Pretender, leaving London suddenly, passed through France and reached our frontiers. It is impossible to ex press the joyfulness, the intoxication, and the boasting, in which the Carlists indulged an hearing the news, not only in Navarre and the rest of Spain, but also in other coun tries. They expected nothing less than the defection of the army of the line, and a triumphant march to Madrid. But the army, with unshaken loyalty, repelled the shame ful means of corruption which were c a a t u t s e he m n pfpotreedntphle onlyfeorpthroeoarvi ton of pose of seducingitfremits fld f e r l e i a t h y. T initheaal of the Infanta their calamities. The rebels in arms perceived on their side that the guard of his person could not. fail to be very embarrassing during the marches and counter-marches to which they are continnally obliged to have recourse; for the purpose of avoiding a decisive engagement with the troops of Donna Isabel. hste T ep h ,s e uien b ce r c a sso v in e vsee G lyci e u. n et e nr r ac al veero ß sfe o s d t.h il e Hcon tinues his operations , the plan of which h e i s o bli ge d to dif ferente fatigue.

O ne canno t foresee its termination, and the provinces which are .the scene of the warfare will shortly be reduced to the last point of ruin and devastation. We think it our duty to en deavour to point out the means of putting an end' to the effusion of the p o k th n er h calamities blood, it to t which pillage,ic hthese to e utnhfeorctounnflaatgeraptrioovnisn,caensdaarlle devotionhAelorl ft tohtef; ewnaotwrrloedodkpbnsyocwoalsmlthmtaahtneedveGednebyaweirtGabols:lnttehrcaehlavnßagiloodnaigri sufferin g . a th n e d would be sufficient in the long-ran to exterminate the insur rection. But no one pretends to say that this triumph could be long delayed, if garrisons were established in all important places. The rebels would then be deprived of the immense resources they derive from the unprotected cantons. Not being able to have recourse but to the poorest villages, they would lose that fatal influence which at present they exercise over large communes, in which public opinion would begin to conform with the ideas of the troops owfuhrbhan t i h c eG is ilvernment. Into them p ersons com promised a forceisedb by their supp or t of the Queen's cause m i g h t en t er , they ha v i ng at present only five fortified cities for an asylum. The nMilitiaot even known in this couldalso be part organized nf in them,the country, except in the five garrisoned points. The pro vinces and the districts would thus be delivered from the onerous contributions which detachments of the rebels go about raising without impediment. The garrisons would afford each other a mutual support by combined sorties, and the rebels would lose their confidence. The difficulty of this plan consists in the insufficiency of the disposable forces. The troops are not sufficiently numerous for a space of 450 leagues square, on all the points of which it is necessary to pursue at one and the same time numerous bands of rebels, always prepared to conceal themselves in almost inaccessible precipices.. However, the necessity of multiplying the garrisons being once acknowledged as the only means of putting an end to this disastrous war, it must be admitted at the same time that the Govern ment will be obliged to choose between the alternative of suitably augmenting the army of the line, or of raising throughout the kingdom a sufficient number of militia to oc cupy the most important communes of the foot provinces. Although we should undoubtedly give the preference to the employment of national forces, still it appears to ns that in the actual state of Spain, the desired effect would be more promptly produced by the means• of foreign intervention, ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 9.—His Royal Highness Prince William of Prussia arrived here yesterday. Persons of the first distinction, both civil and military, continue to arrive to be present at the approaching festival. SEPT. 10.—The most splendid preparations have been made for to-morrow's festival. One hundred and ten thou sand men, consisting of the Imperial Guard and the corps of Grenadiers, are now assembled in and round St. Peters burg. The Neva is also covered with ships of war, from the Admiralty to the Marble Palace. All the inns and many private houses are crowded with strangers. On Mon day next, and the two following days, there will be grand reviews by the Emperor in person in the environs of Zars kojeselo ; his Majesty also intends to give a grand dinner to the officers at Krasnoe Solo, at which 600 persons will be present. On the 17th his Majesty will leave Zarskojeselo, and go to Moscow, Tula, and several governments of the interior ; but his august Consort will set out on the 19th for Berlin, accompanied by the Gr an d D uc h ess M ar i a and Prince William of Prussia. We understand, on good au thority, that our Emperor does hot intend to leave his dominions and undertake a foreign journey this year, as many foreign journals have lately affirmed. VIENNA, SEPT. 10.--The report that the Emperor of Russia intended to Come to Brunn, to have an interview with our Sovereign, proves to be unfounded. It is said that the camp near Brunn will shortly break up, as the ex traordinary heat has caused a scarcity of water and dis orders among the troops. It is therefore probable that the Court will soon return thither. BERLIN, SEPT. 14.—His Majesty's journey to Konigs berg has had a most favourable effect on his health. The day before yesterday he, for the first time since his return, visited the Opera ; and yesterday, attended by a numerous suite, inspected the troops that compose our garrison on the plateau, near the Krenzber. On the parade yesterday, a note from his Majesty to one of the generals officially communicated the joyful intelligence, that her Majesty the Empress of Russia will arrive here on Friday the 26th of this month. SEPT. 16.—The State Gazette has the following article : WARSAW, SEPT. 21.—" In order to commemorate, by an act of special clemency, the solemn inauguration of the column erected at St. Petersburgh, in honour of the late Emperor Alxandcr, his Highness the Prince of Warao.W, Governor for his Imperial Majesty in the kingdom of Po land, has, by virtue of the power given to him, granted full pardon to a very great number of citizens and inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland, who, in consequence of the pro ceedings against them, have been found guilty of various political offences, and given over to the military tribunals ; and he has also remitted or mitigated the punishment of those on whom sentence was already pronounced." STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 12.--Official report of the cholera cases, 4,530 ; recoveries, 847 ; deaths, 1,906. At Jonkoping, to the 4th Sept. inclusive, cases, 87,5 ; deaths, 579 ; recoveries only 236. As there were only four more cases in the two following days, it is supposed that the disorder was nearly at an end there. Capt. Lindenberg has declared that he will not accept the royal pardon, but will die, and in preference on his birth-day, the Bth November, believing " that his head fall ing under the executioner's axe, will do more service to his country than if it remained,,on his shoulders." The Daglicht Allchanda says, " Truly Capt. L. gives the authorities much trouble, which they might easily have avoided." Major-General G. Von Duben, who was sentenced to banishment for compounding with the Prince of Wasa, has obtained permission to remain in the country for a year, which period may be prolonged if he conducts himself properly. BERLIN, SEPT. 17.-1-lis Excellency Baron Frederick Von Schuckwaun, Minister of State, Knight of the Black Eagle, &c., died this morning, after three days' illness, in the 79th year of his age. The autumnal reviews near Berlin will be on the 20th, 22d, 23d, and 24th of this month.

He was parsimonious, but it was because he would not tax his subjects ; and when he was told that there were farces made to ridicule his stinginess, " It is better," said he, "that they should laugh at me, than curse me." He usedto dine at eight in the morn, but to please his fair young wife, he put off his dinner until twelve ; and, in stead of going to bed at six, he was tempted sometimes to sit tip till midnight. —Mirror. HAMLETS. Mr. SANDYEThi.I* - Mr. CHAPMAN, rriste, Aided yesterday at the School-room, to revise the list of vothers for the Tower Hamlets. RIGHT OF TENANTS TO BE PLACED ON THE LIST OP VOTERS. An inhabitant of St. Leonard's, Shoredith, named Fair cloth, applied that his name should be placed on the list of voters in consequence of being a'joint tenant with his land lord of some premises, where he had resided upwards of twelve months, and for which he paid more than 101. a year. On referring to the clause in the Act of Parlia ment which gave the occupiers of a shop or warehouse the right of voting, he contended that those persons should be considered only in the light of lodgers, and that the inten tion of the Legislature clearly was to extend the franchise to them. He considered that since he had occupied the premises he was liable to the rates of the house, and that the collector would have been justified in distrainiag upon his property, if there was not sufficient belonging to the landlord to satisfy the claim. Mr. SANDYS said that the applicant had not brought himself within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, as it did not appear that he had been rated to the poor rata. The overseer was bound, on application being made to him, to place the name of applicants in the rate-book, but the meaning of the Legislature was that the liability of the landlord should be preserved to the parish, and his name • also remained in the rate-book. *Mr. Faircloth referred to the case of Messrs. Combe and Delafield, who were declared qualified to vote, although they were only joint tenants of the premises for which they claimed the qualification. Mr. -SANDYS said they were rated by the names of the firm, and admitted them on evidence having been given of the partnership ; but here the name of the tenant (Mr. Faircloth) did not appear on the rate-book. Mr. Faircloth again pleaded his liability to the rates, and that his property on the premises was liable to execution if the landlord omitted to pay the rates. Mr. SANDYS admitted that that was the case, and ob served that if Mr. Faircloth applied to the overseer, that officer would put his name in the rate-book. Mr. Faircloth—Will the overseer rate me ? Mr. SAN DYS—Suppose they refuse to put your name in the rate book, you may demand to be rated, and if he refuse, I shall then have authority to place you in the list. Mr. Faircloth said he had applied to the overseer to place his name in the list. Mr. Ware, the vestry clerk, said that the application had been made, but not in sufficient time to become qualified to vote this year. Mr. Faircloth—lf I had claimed to be rated would you have levied the rate upon me? Mr. Ware—Certainly. Mr. Faircloth—And would you demand it also from the landlord ? Mr. Ware—No, certainly not ; and there is nothing in the Act of Parliament to get you out of the difficulty. If you pay the rate there is no power for you to recover it from the landlord. Mr. Faircloth—But can you recover the rate from the landlord, and then levy another rate upon me ? or would you take a proportion of the rate from me, and a proportion of it from the landlord ? Mr. Ware—l should have put your name in the rate-book, and then instructed the col lector to call upon you first for payment of the rate ; if you did not pay, the collector would - then be instructed to de mand the rate from the landlord. Mr. Faircloth again observed that as much responsibility rested upon lodgers as upon landlords in regard to the rates, because if the landlord did not pay the taxes the tenant was liable. Mr. W are was anxious to have the word " occupation" clearly explained, as if lodgers were allowed to vote the whole population of the parish, consisting of 70,000 per sons, would claim the privilege. He contended, upon the 30th section of the Act, that lodgers were not entitled to vote. Mr. SANDYS observed that the principal question to be considered was whether the applicant had given a notice, in compliance with the 27th section of the Act, to the over seers, of his intention to claim the right of sharing in the franchise. Mr. Ware said that the Act of Parliament did not con template rating lodgers, and that if the claim was allowed, 12,000 or 13,000 similar claims would be made ip that parish. - Mr. SANDvs remarked that if the tenants claimed to be rated the overseer must put them in the rate-book ; but he would be at liberty to exercise his judgment afterwards as to placing them in the list of voters. Mr. Ware—lf the claim is admitted every person in the parish will claim the franchise, and our parish meetings will be attended by 60,000 or 70,000 persons, instead of persons who really have an interest in the parish affairs. Mr. SANDYS then consulted the Act of Parliament, and having ascertained that Mr. Faircloth had not given the notice to the overseer within the customary time, on tkat ground decided against the claim. The total number of persons qualified to vote in this parish is 2,142. ST. GEORGE'SrIN-.THE-EAST. In this parish the number of persons qualified to vote during the last year amounted to 999, but in the present year rather more than one half of the individuals in ques tion appear to he disfranchised, in consequence of not hav ing paid their assossed taxes. Their poor rates, it further appeared, they duly paid ; but this was not sufficient unless accompanied by the payment of the above-mentioned taxes. The house tax having been repealed will prevent a recur rence of this cause of disfranchisement in the ensuing year. A supplementary li s t, compr i s i ng the names of thi r ty- ST. JOHN'S, H ACKNIL three ratepayers, which were omitted by some oversight in the printed lists placed on the church doors, was handed to Mr. Sandys by Mr. Pulley, the vestry-clerk, for the pur pose of having them admitted ; but of the whole number only seven were allowed, the parties requiring to be ad mitted having principally made their claims verbally instead of in writing, as the Act requires. Some few of the claim ants sent written notices, but they were rejected, owing to their not having been drawn out after the form prescribed by the Act. THE CASE OF AN OVERSEER. In the above-named list was the name of Mr. John Hanks, one of the overseers of the parish, as that of one of the claimants to be admitted. Mr. Hanks appeared to support his claim in person, and to state how his name came to be omitted in the original list, from which it appeared that he had been ill in the country at the time the list was made out, but supposed, as he had always paid his rates, his name would be inserted in the list as a matter of course. This, however, was not done, and the Revising Barrister considered that his claim could not be entertained as he had not given a written notice on the subject. Mr. Hanks considered this a hard case, inasmuch as he ' had been rated during a number of years at about 60/. a year ; and he suppOsed, as overseer, a written notice would not be required from him. Alr. SANDYS—The question appears to be, is an over seer required by the law to give notice or not ? Mr. Pulley, the Vestry Clerk, replied, that in his opinion an overseer was not bound to serve notice on himself ; the matter related to his own breast. Mr. SANDYS said that he thought differently, inasmuch as the preparation of the list w•as not allotted to an indivi dual overseer, but, on the contrary, to the major part of the overseers of the parish ; the overseer in question should, therefore, have informed his brother overseers. Mr. Staunton, one of Mr. Hanks's brother overseers, here stood forward, and said that he considered it a very hard case indeed on Mr. Hanks, who requested him (Mr. Staunton), and his brother overseers, to " see justice done to him." (Laughter ; amidst which a voice muttered, " And ye have done so," which increased the merriment.) It appears that Mr. Staunton and his colleagues altoge ther forgot their friend and fellow-overseer when making out the list. Another of the overseers, alluding to the thirty-three gentlemen whose names were omitted in the original list, here observed, in a manner which caused mu,ch laughter, as he looked seriously at his brother overseers, " We'll be in a nice mess about this business ; here's a lot of gentlemen disfranchised, most of whom live in the Grove (Hackney), and pay from one to two hundred a year rent. They'll talk to us nicely about it." It appeared from the list that the voters, who in the last year amounted to 2,000, in this do not number more than 1,500, -owing, as in the parish of St. George and numerous other parishes, to the house holders thus disfranchised not having paid their rates.
