THE REGISTRATIONS.

LONDON.—Mr.Arnold,yesterday, went through the
list of the following parishes: St. Sepulchre, Bndewell
precinct, St. Bride, St. Dunstan in the West, and the pre-
cinct of Whitefriars.—Mr Brignt, `M.P., who was on the list
of St. Donstini, in roipect of the offices recently occupied by
tho League, at 67, Fleet-streot, was objected to by the
Tories. It appeared, from the evidence of a witness named
Connell, that the premises were in the occupatioa of the
League up to the 29th September, but that the greater por-
tion of their property hod been sold off on the 2,lth of July.
A. number of blue books and papers, however, belonging to
Mr. Bright. had remained on the premises. The witness
had continued in possession after the sale, and said that if
Mr. Bright had come, at any hour of the day or night, he
would have been admitted. Under these circumstances Mr.
Arnold held that the occupation was sufficient, and allowed
the vote.—The same dectsra was given in the cases of the
following gentlemen, who were on the list in respect of the
same premises : Messrs. Richard Cobden, R. R. R. Moore,
Abraham W.Paulton, Peter Alfred Taylor:mid Geo. Wilson.
—Result of the day's proceedings : Liberal objections
sustained, 17; failed, 62. Conservative objections sustaineJ,
124; failed, 96. Double objections sustained, 2) ; failed,
9. Liberal claims sustained, 11; failed. 34.

EAST SURRET.—The revising barrister sat again
yesterday at the Board-roorr, Bermondsey. There were four
claims to vote in respect of a rent charge upon houses in the
parishes of Bermo4dsey and Rotherhithe, which were
objected to by Mr. Meymott, the Conservative agent, on the
ground that although the property had been in the posses-
sion of the claimants for the period required by the act, viz.,
six months, yet as no payment had actually been made,
they were not entitled to vote. The revising barrister, who
had reserved his decision, stated to-day that in his opinion
it was sufficient for the parties to be entitled to the amount
for the period specified, and that it was not necessary for
them to have actually received it. He therefore held Z.he
claims to be good, and the names were placed upon the

PROVINCIAL READING. —The revising bar-
rister, Charles Shapland Whitmore, Esq., opened his court
here on Monday. More than ordinary Interest was excited
from the attempt on the part of the Conservative agent to
disfranchise a large number of the Liberal voters, who were
objected to on the ground that the overseers had omitted to
insert in the list the numbers of the dwellings, as required
by the statute. The revising barrister decided that although
the uct required the insertion in the list of the numbers of
the occupants' houses, yet he had the power to amend it,
and consecxuently the objection could not be sustained, which
be accordingly disallowed, with costs. In consevenee of
this decision, nearly 350 objections have fallen to the ground.
The town in the evening was paraded by • band, with an
immense mob of the lower orders, as a rejoicing over this
triumph. _ _
