MIDDLESEX REDlsllololl.—Yesterday the bar-
deter revised the lista for the perishes of Riverton, Morn-

Cud*, liazapetead. In the Willesden list the WIN of R.
Bosworth was objected to by the Overseen, o't the ground of
change of residues. Hr. Payne contended at some length
that mere change of residence was no diqualiflcatios, and
stated that the Court of Common Pleas had decided that
reddest* formed no part of the qualification. The barrister,
however, held that as the party bed had du notice of the
cbjeetion, and was not in attendance to supply his true place
of abode, the name must be struck out, which was accordingly
&sae. In the new claim list of theism parish Mr. Payne raised
an objection to the name of H Hodadon, for insufficient de.
seripdm, his plus of abode being described " Hensel-
green, in this parish," indeed of •• Renal green, Middle-
le:." The overseer stated that on a previous revision the
barrister had recommended the adoption of the form of de-
scription used in this instant*, and it was adopted in fifty
Instances in the register. The barrister ultimately made the
alteration smutted by Hr. Payne, and the claim was
allowed. Today the court will be held at the Whiw Horse,
Uxbridge.

—Yesterday preparations commenccd within the lockout,

medal beaten will be ccestrneted, to be supplied with
water from the Artesian wells that furnish those in Trafalgar-

Saville Palace, with an express covenant that it was not to

; character of the propoied construction, sad the vast improve-

in Sir Richard Phillips's " Morning's Walk from London to
Kew," published in 1813. On reaching the Surrey Iron
Railway, at Wandsworth, Sir Richard records : " I found
renewed delight in witnessing at this place the economy of
horse labour on the iron railway; yet a heavy sigh escaped
Ise as I thought of the inconceivable millions which have
been spent about Malta, foe: or fire of which might have
been the means of extending double lines of iron railway

MISAPPLICATION OF CHURCH PROPERTY.—SiF,-1
have read several of your observations upon the shameful
misapPostion of the income arising from the property held
by deans and chapters, particularly that of the Dean and
Chapter of Durham, arising tram the sale of the coal in that
county. You will prince insert the following ants meets la
your paper. One 'taupe' in which a large sum of money
might have been made available by the legislature an the
present scheme of church extension will afford some idea of
the enormous sums which have been aburactea ft= th•
church in the 'thole of that county. In the year 1803 the
Dean and Chapter granted a lease of the coal in the manor
of Wee= to a lessee who opened • colliery, and commenced
working in 1806 01.'1807, WOOS which time the lessors have
been receiving from the same large sums annually, in the
form of mutate rent, which they hays appropriated to their
own use, instead of investing the same, or applying them
to religious purposes. The rent of this colliery as
year amounted to 2,3001.; but taking the average at
1,8001. per annum, it would, at this present time, have so=
mutated to 73,8001., independent of the annual interest of
the gradually augmenting sum which might have been
divided amongst the prebendaries of Durham, and a still
larger income to their 11110XISOrs as is shown practically iii
the case of the Rev. E. S. Thurlow, rector of Houghton-le-
Spring, who said he would not rob his successors for his own
benefit, sad invested the testate rent accruing from coal
under his glebe, and thus securing • permanent income to the
succeeding rectors. The scheme of the ecclesiastical commis-
wieners with reference to church leaseholds is to sacrifice
the lessees who have given a valuable consideration for
their leaseholds, and in many instances expended large MIL
of money in making improvements, entirely overlookine the
wholesale plunder of the mineral wealth of the church which'
is daily in progress. It behoves the lessees of the Dean and I
Chapter of Durham to draw the attention of the legislature
to this fact, by which means • liege fend may be made im-
mediately available fur the purposes of church t xtension,
without committing injustice upon any party, and thus draw
from themselves the certainty of being made :the sacrifice
upon the occasion. This may be effected by the lessees meet.
log together and organising themselves in a proper manner,
so as to ensure the attention of parliament to their interests,
To thole lessees who are timid and afraid of offending the
Dean and Chapter it may be observed that any petition they
may draw out would not be against them, as the property
will come under the consideration of parliament early next',
remits, and the power taken entirely oat of the hands of the
Dean sod Chapter. In =ethnical, if any pen= disputes the

Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SHlP.—Yesterday the deter-
tics of an emigrant ship while in a "inking condition, with
no lees than one hundred and fifteen passengers on board,
was reported at Lloyd's. The following particulars are
confirmed by commudthtious from Mr. Buchanan, the chief
agent of emigration at Quebec, who took the depeition of
the passengers. The vessel in question was the schooner
Ann, 200 tons burthen, Archibald bl'Fie, master, belonging
to Limerick, bound to Quebec with 124 emigrants, men,
women, and children. She arrived in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence on the 26th of September, and was beating up,
the wind blowing very heavy, when she came in collision
with another vessel. She was rendered a perfect week, her
mete and rigging being carried away, and her bows stove in.
AU the pass errs at the time were below asleep, but the
violent concussion threw them out of their berths, and •
scene of the utmost dismay prevailed. The crew, at the
direction of the master, Immediately fastened down the
hatches, so as to prevent the poor terrified creatures
emeping en to the deck, and then, with the captain,
leaped on board the vessel with which they had been in

NARRATIVE 01, A PASSENGER BY THE OCEAN
MONAICII.—" I was on the deck, dose to the Captain when
the steward ran up the cabin stairs and said the ship was
on fire. You may gum what my feelings were at that
moment. I ran down into my berth and fetched my
family upon deck. It bunt out into • flame directly, and
there appeared nothing but death, either by fire or water,
staring us in the face. I took charge of Willy sad Richard,
and m wife took charge of Elizabeth. We determined to
