Tnz VirCErIIII:IITSTILIt REGISTRATION& —We are in-
formed that no notices of objection have bees served
this year on the overseen of the various parishes
of the city of Westminster by the authorised
agent at the liberal party. The only name that can
be assigned is that no coetested election baring occurred
for upwards of nine years, when Lord Madam cooteeted
the representation of Westminster with the preemie mem-
ber", there is great difficulty in knowing the politics of •
large majority of the electors, and aa • general election is
close at hand, there is • probability of many friends to the
liberal cause being uninteetioeally objected to, and
mutely being deprived of the franchise at the revision of
voters by the revising barrister in October nest. The
Weatminter Liberal Registration Boci.ty has been estab-
lished upwards of twenty years, and this is the only year
in which objections have not been made. The conservative
part, will no doubt consider the occasion • nun for great
eriamph._ _ _

iriiDEBTErCTION or Mg. COLWILL'II BALLOON
AT LEICFATLI.--A meeting convened by the mayor, Mr. G.
Baines, was held in the Town-hell, Leicester, on Wednesday
teasing, for the purpose of eousidering the propriety of
entering into • subscription to mitigate the loss which Mr.
Cottrell had suffered in the destruction of his balloon at the
late Foresters demonstration on the Leicester vice coulee.
The Mayor presided. In opening the proceedings his wor-
ship said he felt desirous of giving the inhabitants of Leices-
ter au opportunity of expressing their opinioos upon the
matter, and 'of determining what should be dorm to remove
the stigma which he feared at present rested upon the town.
He thought their principal busineas was to see how far they
could assist Mr. Carvell is his lose without entering
minutely into the causes of the disturbance, or code'.
Touring to ascertain as to who was moat to blame. But
while from his position he felt anxious that some ratite.
ties should be made, be knew that Leicester had been sub-
jected to most gross marepreeentatioo upon the matter, and
that rood foul and dastardly attacks had been made upon
the iababitiate through certain reports or articles in the
London pipers. Mr. Couthillor Crcesley moved • resolu-
tion to the effect that the meeting regretted the mange
which had been perpetrated upon Mr. Carvell, and without
offering any opinion as to where the blame ought to rest, it
proposed to enter veto • subscriptioo towards making up
the hes. Mr. Alderman E. S. Ellis seconded the motion.
Mr. T. Emery said he eynipatbsed with the object of the
meeting, hut thought they should be careful how the town
uoder the presidency of the Mayor might happen to en-
dorse by any act the rile representations which bed
goo* forth to the country. Be thought the resolution
should be more distinctly worded, so en to repudiate any
necereary committal of the town to the act of demolition
through the fact of its irubsoribing towards the loss. They
seed not then recount all the circumstances which bad
brought about the disgraceful set, but it was known that Mr.
Coxwell bad attempted to ascend oat of • crowd of thou-
sands of pennies, and that the bad blood which had bees
manifested towards him haPbeen imported into the town.
Bat be (Mr. Emery) pretended against the mournption of the
Leedom mai, that it was the working claims who were slooe
chargeable with this violence, and that as • 000sequesee
they moat be kept from the ezercise of political power. For
Mr. Caswell had most distinctly stated in his published
letters that the originator of false reports on the
grimed was • " professiothl gentleman," and that
another of the principal disturbers was one who
paid his three gaieties for • seat ia the car, and con-
sequeetly belonged to the privileged orders. Mid yet the
working dune were to be denied their rights because of
this badly managed This, in which all classes were to blame.
But Leicester people could better bear to be called Woes
even, than they could sedum the insinuation that they were
fools. But ae account of this balloon admit they had been
designated as aomething windy lx! frothy. He thought
that was a reflection upon the mayor and all the distill-
idled gentlemen who held aloe sad gave diameter to
Lsiesster. Boma mambo,, of the Order of Foresters
trivia' esteemed a desire to take plat le the saiscriptioe.
the resolution was put sod carried onaaimously. A coos.
