Mr. Edmund Bealea, the revising barrister for
the county of Middlesex, resumed his duties yesterday at
the courthouse, Edgware, (or the purpose of revising the
lista for the parishes of Edgware, Fuchley. Great Ikea-
more, Harrow, Hendon, Kingsbury, Little Stanmore, and
Pinner.

Mr. Middleton (for Mr. Smith) appeared for the Cower-
satire Registration Association ; Mr. W. A. James for the
Middlesex Reform Registration Society.
In the parish of Edgware than were no objections to
the original register, and only aeon to the sew claimants ;
amoopt these,
K Lidera Howard Dorrant, of Edgware, claimed to vote
in respect of house, as occupier at above WI. rent, and was
objected to by the liberals.
The overseer, in aitempting to prove the claim, said that
Mr. Dement ratted two houses of one gentleman, paying
4.51. fur sue and MM. for the. Cher.

Mr. Jame, amid there wu no qua'Aeation. There wu a
ease is point, in which a person claimed to vote in respect of
two houses, rented for over 50/. pa annum, from different
landlords.

The Revising Berrister—l can understand that that
would not be a quahhostion, there being two landlords.
Mr. James-1 duck you will bid that this cam is ruled

The Revising Barrister thought the muss cited conclusive

Richard Wood was objected to by the cocserottives, on
the ground that he clairetd for houses in the occupation of

The Revising Banister thought the names of the tenants
were unuecesaary, sad that their being incorrectly stated

awarded the claimant 10s. costa.

Last evening Lord Stanley, M.P., presided at a
meeting it Stockport, held to celebrate the opening of a
new mechanics' institution. The building, which occupies
a conspicuous position in the Wellington-road, one of the
principal thoroughfares in the towns, contains library, news-
room, class-rooms, and a large lecture-hall, and has been
erected at a cost of about 5,0001. Lord Stanley was aecbm-
paided on to the platform by Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., Mr.
Barley, M.P., Mr. Sidebottom, President of the Institu-
tion ; the Mayor of Manchester, Major Coppock, and
several local notables. The hall was well filled in all
parts.
Lord STANLEY, after some introductory remarks, said, he
believed that one of the chief controversies of our own age
or the next age would be as to the limit to be placed on
state aid in education. Without entering upon the question
whether education should be wholly voluntary, or denying
the value of government aid, it might be stated to the
honour of mechanics institutes that they were based upon the
principle of self-help, which was a leading characteristic of
all national undertakings in tbia country, and were indepen-
dent of government support as well as of goverument coo-
troL Referring to the alleged failure of mechanics in-
stitutions, the noble lord said there had no
doubt been many mistakes made at the outset.
Thus there was at first too much generalination as to
what working men ought to wish to learn, and in the
midst of the discussion on that subject they had neglected
whet working men did wish to learn. Again, he considered that
the attempts to "popularise science" was a mistake. The
attempt was made in a form which gave little trouble to
the hearer ; but served no purpose as a mental discipline.
Real students were rare in every class of society. Such
persons they might encourage, but they could not create
them; and science, in the proper sense of the term, could
never be populerised. After touching briefly upon other
causes of ill success, the noble lord reviewed the history of
the Stockport Mechanics Institution, from its esta-
blishment twenty-eight years ago down to the present
time. He particularly commended the competitive exa-
minations which the directors had introduced in connexions
with the Society of Arts and the Lancashire and Cheshire
Institutional Association. Such examinations gave a defi-
nite direction to the studies of the members, encouraged
sound progress in knowledge, detected ignorance, imposture,
and unreality, and had an important use in showing those
who engaged in them what they were fitted for in future
life. While encouraging the study of subjects of a prac-
tical character, however, they ought to beware of regarding
the acquirement of knowledge merely in its relation to our
material prosperity. In these busy hives of industry, where
the practical was liable to predominate, it was more than
ever incumbent upon us to cultivate the artistic and ima-
ginative faculties. The noble lord concluded by an eloquent
reference to the prevailing distress in the cotton districts-
He thought they did quite right to celebrate the opening
of their building, even in the midst of the existing suffer-
ing; and he was glad to hear that the directing bad deter-
mined to throw open the dame of the institution free of
charge to all persons that were at present out of work, but
who had previously been members of the institution.
He prayed that independence in circumstances might
soon be restored to the working population, and that lode-
pendence of spirit might never be wanting among them.
When prosperity returned itwould, be was sure, be a legiti-
mate source of satisfaction to the founders and promoters
of the institution, that in a time of distress and uuexampled
difficulty they had devoted their time and energy to the
inauguration of an institution that would be of lasting
benefit to the community.
The noble lord resumed his seat amid long-continued
cheering. _ _ .

Notwithstanding these events, the ultra-Legiti-
mist politicians and the ultra•Lrgitimist priests
hold that the only hope for an exiled royal family
is faith in absolutism, and alliance with the
Church, and with the nobles of ancient stock and
superannuated ideas. Such was the conclusion
come to by the gentlemen who met this summer
at Lucerne under the presidency of the Duke of
BORDEAUX and his sister, the Duchess of PARMA.
The ORLEANS Princes and party have come to a
precisely opposite conclusion. No doubt they em-
brace constitutional principles on their own
merits. But they are further confirmed in that
preferen 3 by the fact that the head of the
NAPOLEON dynasty seems to grow more and more
wedded to ecclesiastical, that is to say, to
Papal interests. The extinction of nationality
and liberty in Italy are ends advocated by M. La
GUERONNIRRE and pursued by the EMPEROR.
It is not surprising that under these circum-
stances pretenders to the throne who really under-
stand the times should hoist in opposition the
old national standard of freedom from ecclesiastical
as well as lay domination. It is impossible not to
observe how strongly the language of the ultra-
Imperialist organ contrasts with the language of
those who are notably Orleaniat. The Jour-
nal des Debate declares itself frankly for Italian
unity, Italian greatness, and Italian inde-
pendence, with abrogation of the POPE'S temporal
power. A senatorial writer, completely in Impe-
rial dependence, abets, on the contrary, the sacri-
fice of all these, not only to the POP; but to the
necessity of France having merely weak and
divided states for its neighbours. La GUERON-
runts demands Naples evidently for MURAT, Rome
for the Cardinals, and Northern Italy for Anarchy
—for with such conditions it is evident that
nothing else would prevail there.
It is not our business to ask the Imperial
Government whether it is prudent to allow two
each schemes of government to circulate and be
discussed side by side—its own, the purely abso-
lutist and sacerdotal ; its competitor, the consti-
tutional at home and the liberal abroad. It is in
vain that the Imperial censors confiscate indepen-
dent foreign journals. From the press of France,
however restricted, Frenchmen can still learn to
despise the mean and dastardly policy of the
Estrzaoa's friends, and the generous and liberal
policy avowed and recommended by his enemies.
Wo have hitherto spoken only of that which is
manifest from the different organs of the French
press, of facts which do not require disclosure or de-
nunciation on our part. II saute cur yeux, as the
French say : it is plain to every comprehension
that the principles attributed to the Imperial Go-
vernment by M. La CUERONNIERE are no other
than those of the Government of the elder
BOURBONS. The policy is precisely that of the old
Legitimists, differing but in mere trifles from that
of Potiowac. Had CHARLES X. succeeded in
carrying out his famous ordonmuice, he might
have taken La GUERONNIERE for his prime
minister. But are these the principles, these the
convictions of the Emperor Narotr.oN 111.
Those who have known him long say, No. Such
were not his views of either domestic government
or of foreign policy when he made them the
objects of his thought. M. DI PERBIONY himself
would say so. By what influence, then, has the
EMPEROR been reduced to a likeness to that which
he once most despised, the Monarch and the
Ministers of the first six months of 18301
We do not undertake to answer this question
ourselves. We can only report the answer given
in French society. There it is undiaguisedly said
that it is through the Empress EUGENIE that the
sacerdotal interest prevails with the EMPEROR.
She is represented as the mainstay of French
ultra-ecclesiasticism, and the main opponent of
a liberal treatment of the affairs of Italy.
The EMPRESB is a beautiful, and, we have no
doubt, an amiable woman. But is it possible
that the autocratic potentate who has in past

Italy.
According to letters from Rome, the Abbil
Stellarili was received twice by the Pope, who
handed to him two magnificent jewels as a present

for his goddaughter, the Princess Pia. The value
of the two objects is said to be 10,500 fr. Nothing
of a political character was spoken of, and his
Holiness inquired as to the state of Garibaldi.

tkvervl other speeches were delivered in the course of the
evening by gentlemen whose names are given above, and
by others.

GARIBALDI AND THE AMERICAN WAR..
The Wanderer of Vienna publishes the following
letters, which, it states have passed between Geu.
Garibaldi and the American oousul at Vienna :

TO GENERAL GABIBALDI, ISPETILIA, ITALT.
Vienna, Sept. 1.
General,—As it has not been practicable to you for the
moment to accomplish the greet patriotic work which you
undertook in the interest of your beloved country, I
take the liberty of addressing you the present letter, with '
the view of learning whether it would not eater into your
plans to offer us your valiant arm in the contest which we
sustain for the liberty and unity of our great
republic. The combat in which we are engaged does not
interest us alone, bat the whole civilised world. The
transport and enthusiasm with which you would be received
in our country, in which you have passed a portion of your
life, would be immense ; and your mission, which would be
that of leading our brave soldiers to fight for the same prin-
ciple to which you have nobly devoted your entire
existence, would be altogether conformable to your
' intentions. I shall consider myself, general, extremely
fortun►te if I could receive your reply.
I have the honour to be, du,
Tgzonoitz CAIIIBIOI3,
Consul of the United States of Amelia.
The following was General Garibaldi's reply :
Varignano, Sept. 14.
Sir,—l am a prisoner and dangerously wounded, opine. I
quently it is not possible for me to dispose of myself. Still,
the moment that I have obtained my liberty, and that
my wounds are healed, I shall seize the first favourable
opportunity of satisfying my desire to serve the great
American republic, of which I am a citizen, and which is
now fighting for uoiversal liberty.
I have the honour to be, kn.,

GARIBALDI.
