THE REGIBTRATION3.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.

This day at noon Mr. Alfred Hanson, the
revising barrister, held his ninth court in the Court of
Common Plena, Guildhall, for the purpose of ciceini the
revision._

Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. George Ledger appeared for
the liberals; and Mr. W. Nakao (Nokia, Carlisle, and
Francis) for the conservatives.
Upon the banister taking his seat he called attention to
the case which he had promised Mr. Sidney Smith, upon the
gaieties of the word " copy " being upon one ally of
the notices of the objections taken by the conservatives,
served through the Post-office, in about 170 cases. He
bad gone over the act" of parliament and the question
arose to his mind whether the court above could entertain
the case, as, according to the act, was he not entitled to
receive the evidence—and secondly, who was to be the
opponent
Mr. Sidney Smith said that by the act of parliament the
party objected to could be the appellant, and the party
objecting could be the respondent.
Tie barrister referred to the 68th section of the act, which
said that no appeal could be received or allowed on any
questions of fact, ko.
Mr. Sidney Smith contended that this was not a question
of fact, but a matter of law.

The .13arrister asked if it Wee within his power to admit
the evidence?

Mr. Sidney Smith laid that was the only portion of the
came.

The Barrister laid th►t the ease man be taken 'abject to
theyojeta be had mentioned.

Ser. Nolies said that for his own put he relied oaths ad-
mission of the evideoee.

The Barrister 'sidle could not help feeling that there
was greater latitude allowed in these notices of claims and
objections. He was told that he was objected to in •
county bat he had never received the notice, and no doubt
he was struck off the list. (Laughter.)
The court then proceeded to settle the case in accord-
ance with the act, the appellant being Mr. Morris &midi,
and the respondent Mr. .Booth, the ground-work of the case
being that as the word " copy " was on one of the notices
it was not a duplicate, and therefore the service of the Post-
master General was destroyed.

RKPRESZNTATION OF WOODSTOCK.--It is under-
stood that Lord Alfred Churchill, the brother of the Duke
of Marlborough, who has represented Woodstock during
the present parliament, will not offer himself for selection
at the ensuing diseolistioe. Mr. Henry Barnett, of Glymp-
ton Hall, near Woodstock, • county magistrate. and •
member of the well.keown London banking firm, will come
forward in the conservative interest. It is rumoured that
Mr. Bexley, son of Mr. T. Bailey, IL P., will probably con-
test the borough on liberal principles. The hoe. member
for Manchester is • landowner in the county of Oxford,
having recently purchased &CM= Hall, • few miles from
Woodstock.—Birmingham Peal.
REPRENENTATIoN OF BM:KINCHAM.--It is stated
that • section of the conservatives of the borough of
Buckingham who are dimatisfied with Mr. Hubbard are
desirous of inviting Mt. P. Fitzgerald, of Upton House,
near Kinetoo, Warwickshire, to become • candidate at the
next election.

THE REPRESENTATION or HONITON.—The liberals
have determined to bring forward • second liberal candi-
date for this borough at the next general election, the gen•
tleman selected being Mr. Evan M. Richards. of Brook.
lands, Glamorganshire, who is a partner in the 6rm of Dill-
wyn and Co., Swansea, the principal in which is Mr. Dill-
vivo, M.P. for that borough. Mr. Richards has been mayor
of Swansea several times, and for many years past he ban
been one of the most active supporters of the liberal cause
in Glamorganshire. He is a thorough liberal, edvoeittee the
snoonditional abolition of church rates, the extension of the
' franchise, and the adoption of the ballot.
VISIT OF MR. COBDEN AND MR. BRIGHT TO
ROCHDALL —lt is expected that Mr. Cobden will vied Hoch-
dale either on the 16th oc.r3rd of November, for the purpose
of addressing his constituent,.
Considerable difficulty has
been experienced in getting a building sufficiently large to
accommodate the vast number of persons who are generally
anxious to be present on such an nocasion ; but a large mill
in the course of erection, which will be completed on the
let proximo, the property of Mr. John Robinson, has been
kindly offered for the purpose. The mill in which the
meeting wee bald last year only accommodated about 4,000,
but the spacious mill promised is at least one-third larger,
and very imitable. Mr. John Bright is expected to be pre-
sent and address the meeting.
Tux SHOOTING OF MR. WI ISON.—MILFORD,
SATCHDAT have seen Mr. Wilson to-day. He
was again visited by Dr. Thorpe of Letterkenny, last
night, who concurs with Dr. Murray in thinking
that he is going on tolerably well, but that his life
still hangs in • balance. Every day sham the outrage
was committed the magistrates have been sitting
at Tammy. Many persons have been examined, but to no
purpose; nobody knows anything of the transaction ; no
one heard the shots or saw the assassins, although many
persons were within sight and hearing of the liana. Their
worships, in truth, are engaged in • not very
solemn fares, and, as they must well know, might
just as well be investigating the ease at Hong-
Rolm seat Tammy. A very startling fact has, however,
been elicited. Ittisan that the man who shot Mr.
Wilma wore route. great-coats, with the cape* tamed
up and drawn round err heads so as to conceal their
faces, in the manner often adopted by policemen in severe
weather. They stopped with perfect coolness, and deli.
berately looked at Mr. Wilson after they bred.—Dublin

WRECK OF • PRUSSIAN SCHOONER IN THE
CHANNEL-0o 13th inst., at 5 p.m., the schooner Emma,
Captain J. W. Kiedt, of Stettin, boned from Cardiff to
Copenhagen with a cargo of omit, struck mouthing when
about 16 miles N. of St. Catherine's light, and became
leaky. The water gained so fast that for the preservation of
their lives the crew were compelled to take to their boat arid
abandon their vessel, which sunk two hours alter they had
left her. The mate and men were picked up by the Prus-
sian ship Edwin, were landed at Dover, and are now com-
fortably lodged at the Sailor's Home. The captain is mis-
sing, and it is supposed that in • fit of despair he jumped
overboard, end was drowned. He was seen shortly before
the Emma was abandoned. The crew were forwarded to
London yesterday morning with a free pass granted by the
South Eastern Company.—KEMMA Gautte.
A CCRIOCS CARE FOR THE SURGEON/I.—A little
boy, the son of Mr. Joseph Bedouin, of Brasted, while at
school scene two years sines, pit • gem of ginger up his eon-
trite. His schooloustrese got it oat, as she thought, but the
poor little fellow suffered for some time afterwards with gains
io his wee. His mother, therefore, took him to second our.
gems, but they thought a polypus was forming in his nostrils,
and that was the reason he could not breathe out of one
side. At last • letter was got from a kind lady admitting
him into • hospital in London, and he was there nearly two
mouths. but then he wee turned out incurable. The little
fellow has suffered very much ever since, and on Friday he '
seemed very poorly. At last he said to his mother, " I have
got something coming down my nose," and on her looking
she found it was the piece of ginger which had for two years
cussed so ouch pain and trouble. It was quite rotten. The
little fellow is sow 'intim better,and can, of course, breathe
freely through both nostrils.—Surrey Standard.
INSANE MCRDERZES.—I newer met with • case in
which • genuine repentance was visible in a person who
had when in a fit of insanity killed another. You re.
member, perhaps, the case of telegram Sommers, who mur-
dered her daughter in a most cruel manner! She died here •
few months afterwards quite mad. She appeared naturally
• ?sty mild woman, end was evidently genuinely sorry
if she offended anyone ; but she emend to show
the slightest sorrow for the murder of her daughter.
A more siegalar ease still is the man you me work-
ing with the gardener. In • fit of yawing insanity
he murdered • woman. There was no doubt about
his case, and the jury on that ground unhesi-
tatingly acquitted him. He continued loam for
some months afterwards, and then recovered his
mew as quickly as he had lost them. When informed of
the crime he bad committed he appeared greatly surprised.
He is very religious, and attempted to repent, but was not
able to PnOne. He still wishes he may have the power,
and does all he can to obtain repentance by reasoning on
the subject, bat without avail. He will not allow himself
the slightest indulgems, sad refuses to attend the balls.
Another circunistabos you may also note in this singular
insensibility to their own crimes is this, that the same
kind of crime committed by another they held in gamine
horror. By way of amusing them last winter I engaged a
man to give them some dramatic recitations. The per-
former incautiously read the murder scene from Mankt.
It excited the greatest interest in the whele audience, es-
pecially those committed for murder, and they expressed
their honor in • most marked manner. Bat the one who,
perhaps. showed the stmegest detentatiou of the deed was
himself corthoed for euttiug off his doctor's head and kick-
Mg it about the gardee."—Coratill Magazine for October.
On the evening of Sunday, September 18, two
marines belonging to her Majesty's ship Charybdis, anchored
at Takla. in Gaming aloornde of the ship from shore, fell
into the sea. Mr. St. Asbyn, master's assistant, and two
sailors. with great gallantry, immediately jumped after the
two men, bat unfortunately were unable to save them.—
