MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.—The Barneter held
Me court yesterday at the King's Head, Enfield, for the re-
vides of the lists of Edmonton, Enfield, Priem Barnet,
Mocker, Hadley, South Mims, and Tottenham. In several
instances the man of persons ramming the required quail
were struck out for madescription. Several other
' claims, in which the qualification was informally described,
were allowed, no notice of objection having been made. To-
day the court "its at the Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstead.
LONDON CLERKS' PERMANENT BENEFIT BUILDING
SOCISTY.—A. meeting in (furtherance of the objects of this
society was held yesterday evening, at the Western Institu-
tion,Mr. Nelson, actuary to the Medical and Invalid Men-
rame Com y, in the chair.—The chairman, in opening'
the p lugs, stated that he had examined the conditions
on which the society was proposed to be established, and was
of opinion that they wen quite capable, and indeed certain,
of fulfilment.—Mr. Ball proceeded to state the objects which
were proposed to be carried out, and the mode which was to
be adopted. The first object was to enoostaie habits of pro-
vidence in the elan of clerks, and to enable each member of
the body to perdue' a house for his own residence. Bach
member, on having deposited about 201., would be entitled
to draw on the society's funds to the amount
of 3001., to be secured to the society by snort.
gage on the premises purchased, such mortgage to
be redeemed by an annual increase on the rent, the rent
going in liquidation of the debt instead of being paid for
mare use and occupation, as in the ease of renters. The
point in which the proposed society would differ from its pre-
deoemors was this : that whereas mast of the societies now

established wen fur a fined term of year., the pro so-
ciety would he ofa permanent character. The advantage of
this would be, that members could come in at any period
without the payment of large arrears, as in the rase of socie-
ties established for a fixed period. They expected to effect
this by allowing depositors a rata of interest for the first fin
years less than the interest proposed to be charged to borrow-
ere. He expected that they would be able to allow fin per
cent. for the first five years, and about seven per cent. for
the subsequent period of deposit. An objection had been
made to these societies, that in cases where the capital lay in
the coffers of the society, no profit could accrue to the devi-
ators. His experience told him that such a contingency was
not likely to occur; on the contrary, he had generally
found it necessary to arrange for advances from the
bankers for the perpeses of the society, and those
advances be had subsequently repaid eat of the
accumulations. He had lately seen Mr. Tidd Pratt, who
had expressed himself most favourably of building societies,
end especially of the plan now introduced to public notice.
Mr. Pratt had told him that there was at the present
moment 6,030,000 i. invested In building societies, and
augured the bolt results from.this fact, as proving the great
increase of closes having an interest in the preservation of
the public passe, and the stability of our institutions. The
subscriber to this society would not have to wait for the
winding up of the society, or be dependent upon the chance
of the affairs having been well managed for the promised
solution. They would enter for fixed periods of five, ten, or
fifteen years, paying proportionate annual amounts on their
shares, and at the end of the stipulated term would be put
in absolute possession of their property.—Mr. Richards,
solicitor, entered into various details explanatory of the
working of the saelety.—Resolutioss pledging the meeting
to its support were thou agreed to, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS.—Yeaferday another
body of the Parisian National Guards. to the number of
300, arrived at the London-bridge terminus of the South
Eastern Railway from Dover, in addition to those who
arrived on Monday. Arrangements were made with the
Northern of France Railway br their novenas. to Calais,
via Lille ; and intimation having been given to the authori-
ties of the South Eastern sad Continental Stem-packet
Company of their expnted arrival at Calais, the Prince.'
Meade and Queen of the Belgians steamers were despatched
to convey them in three detachments to Dover, whence they
were brought by special train to London. On alighting from
the writes there wen coaches and cabs in abundance, wait-
ing the arrival of the special trains, and on Monday evening
they were in considerable demand, but last evening, the wee.
thee being flash the majority of the National Guards preferred
walking. Amiable of those who srrived on M.inday,consisting
of Lamers, Chavesurs, Volt:inure, and Grenadier, have been
pomading the streets at the watt-end. In Leicester-
square son than 200 formed in regular marching order, end
proceeded to the Hone Guards to see the Guards parade.
They afterwards paid • visit to the Wellington Barracks,
and ca leaving opremed their admirationat the comfortable
ansagesneuM Mel for the soldier. Last night one of the
Natiosal Guards was bustled by some of the swell mob in
Reannastrest, sad robbed of his purse and watch, with
which they emmed. Several of the Guards visited the
Central Court to hear the trials. Moat of the other
pubis imaitardeas were also inspected by detached parties.
The mot smokable visit, perhaps, was that paid by a num-
ber of them Parisians to the Peens of exile of the dethroned
King of the Freak: several became passengers on the South
Winos Rainy abet mid-day, sad having stopped at the
Esher Midas, gestlilled their curiosity by a sight of the

Bin C. NAFIER AND THE SCINDE PRIZE MONET.—
Eir,—l have Jed eon • letter in your paper of the 21st
inst., from Sir Cheek Napier, in which my name is brought
farmed for the
and
of making a &ergs against Sir
James Hogg, es the acts are not accurately stated in
that letter, I trust yen will allow me this opportunity of
eaplabang the real sate of the one. In the course of a
debate which took place about three years ago in the
House of Commons, Mr. Roebuck said, " That Sir Charles
Napier bad never been sufficiently apoenitn by the govern-
ment, or hie services dilly retnrded by his cation 7."
I happened to be sitting by Sir Jame Hom when this
statement was made, and he remarked to me " that, at all
events, Sir Charles Napier had received (or ihat he would
receive, for at this distance ot time I cannot be accurate as
to the inset explain) 70,0001. of prize money for the
capture of Sends.' These were the only words used by Sir
James Hogg, and I sever stated to Sir Charlie Napier, as
he says is his Inter, that Sir James Hogg had directed me
to make the statement to the house. In the few observa-
tions which I afterwards &dammed to the house I said that
the services of Sir Charles MOM had sot been altogether
without reward, for that be beat received 70,0001. of prize
money foe the annum of Side, and I was not aware at
the time I made the stalonsint thanks Lords of the Treasury
had MAI& denied whether Sir Charles Napier was en-
titled to en-eightli at to rinerizteenth share of the prize
nary. The question, however, has now been decided,
and, as I dila, very properly, that Sir Charles Napier
entitled to • dare of one-eighth of the prize
maw, whom the War which appeared in your
01111111111 weal& lead the public to inter that he was
an ill-coed sea, whom the Court of Directors (who
had nothlag to do with the matter) hid attempted
to defraud Olds** rights. Whether the jewels and otter
valuables eartrand in Sande have realised the sum which was
originallynneldnated, dz., benne' 600,0001. ma6e:l,oool.oc
whether they have fallen far short of that sum, I as not
able to my, bat se Sir Charles Napier appears to be so send-
tive lest the pallie should be =unformed as to the exact
amount, whim he himself will be at the trouble of explain-
ing. I hen new stated the facts exactly as they occurred ;
whether I was to blame in making the statement upon in-
nflielent information is not now the question: but if this is
the only " sample" Sir Charlie Napier ts able to bring forward
ot " Wadies and malignant falsehood" on the part of the
' Court of Directors, it will be for the public to decade whether
he Ime made oat a one which can in any way justify the
ass of gush szpreenoas, or the tone and temper of the letter
whisk he has addressed to the editor of the Standard news-
OOL—ltlilly Bauxite —The Pra, St. Alban's, Oct. 2t.

BATHIGIS BANK OBSTACLEL—Sir,—AIIow me to
:Err attention to what I consider a great evil in the
administrailoa of an institution which purports to
have hew ortablidied for the good of the saving poor. 1
snob to alts Provident Sank for Savings in Montague
Irma, Skormaintry. I am not aware whether the sante

as my oupelissise is of this office I confine myself totst
'This teak pedigree to hold out inducements for the work-

To • working ma or woman the ties employed in going

all times, when the daily or weekly hoardings could be
disposed of; and, if some restriction Is necessary to prevent

more simple kind than that already in practice. Another

WALTHAM AND EPPING FONIIST.—Sir,—ID your
report of the proceedings of a court of attachment, held at
Chigwell yesterday for this forest, I am represented to have
sold that I admitted I had killed rabbit. without first
giving notice to the keeper, and that I had said I should do
so again, for although the keepers claimed the rabbits as
their property, I denied their title to them, and I be-
lieved every one had a right to kill rabbits who might meet
with them. This is entirely a misstatement. What I said
was, when I was charged with being found shooting, in
orespaey with four persons, that I acknowledged myself to
be in error, that I had accepted an invitation to shoot with
Mr. Turner, who held a warren, let to him with his house
by Mr. Maitland; that the limits of the warren did not
exceed eight acres, although Mr. Maitland's solicitor had
put down poets encompassing many more acres ; and that I
knew the rabbits found on that part of the forest, and not
on those eight acres, were the property of the mown, not
the private property of Mr. Turner ; and that all the rab-
bits and game oa the different manors within the forest,
with the exception of two warrens—the one in question and
Watkins' warren—were the exclusive property of the
crown.—EDW. FORSTER, jun. Alfred Club, 24.
SUICIDE.—A deplorable act of suicide was com-
mitted on Monday forenoon by a shopman employed by Mr.
Raley, butcher, of No. 2, Hatton-wall. The deceased, who
bad been in the servitude of his master for six years,
had secreted in his promotion two mutton chops. This
having come to the knowledge of his employer, a police-
constable was sent for to take him in custody, but, before
the snivel of that official, he entered the yard and cot his
throat with a knife. He was instantly taken to the hospital,
but died immediately afterwards. It appears that the de-
ceased's wife WAS lying in, and he had purloined the chops
for her use.

INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—CHARGE OP MURDER.—
By Mr. Wokley, at the Elephant and Castle, Camden-town,
on Harriet May, aged two years seven months, alleged to
have died from violence inflicted on her by her mother Ann
May, and her aunt Sarah Bishop, both of whom are in cus-
tody, and remanded by the polies magistrate of Clerkenwell
an the capital charge of murder. Under the warrant of the
coroner a jury was summoned to inquire into the death of
the deceased on Saturday last, and an order was issued by
Mr. Wekley to Mr. Popham, one of the parish surgeons, to
make •post surto% examination; but, u in the interim
the polies had taken upon themselves the responsibility of
taking the mother and rioter into custody, the coronerrefused
to go on with the inquest, and discharged the jury until he
ascertained the course the magistrate intended to pursue. I.
the interval Dr. Quain, by order of the coroner, made a sea
weld post martens examination, and Mr. Grenough, another
surgeon, alnexamined the body by direction of the magistrate.
The body lay in the dead-house of St. Pancras
workhouse, of which the children are now inmates.—
Emily May, a little girl ten years of age, and daughter of
the amused, having been interrogated as to her knowledge of
the nature of an oath, was first sworn. She said I am now
in SL Pancras workhouse, but lived with my mother and
believeaunt at
liialfrgrVrift... I rid faathberroltshaser Let= andt I
er
before the baby died. My mother went out to work and my
sant minded us at home. We were seised upon three weeks
last Saturday, and had all our thing* taken away. My sister
Harriet stied on Thursday night last, I think. I never am
any one beat her, but she was so weak she would fall about.
She fell down a few days. before she died, and hurt her
temple. She would sometimes get a smack on the arm with
a small birch rod when she was troublesome. She would be
sitting about on the floor, and as my aunt or mother passed
she would be knocked over by their gowns. My mother al-
ways treated the deceased kindly.—E. Harris, polimeer-
gunt, said he took the mother and the aunt of the
deceased into custody on Friday night last on
suspicion of having caused the death of Harriet
May. I took them into custody by order of the acting
Ineretor-sergeant; Allen. I had no warrant for doing en.
The first information was given to the police by Mr. Pop-
ham at the police station, and it was in consequence of that
I went to the house where deceased had died. There was
no Opt osition offered by the aunt or mother to the post-mow
tens examination. I took the mother and aunt into custody
immediately after the post-mortem examination.—By the
coroner : The other ground for my taking them into cus-
tody was the statement of persons m the house, M'Oill, his
wife and daughter, that the mother and aunt had treated the
child cruelly. I was not aware at that time that the
M'Oille werefon bad terms with the mother and aunt of de-
ceased.—Mr. W. Home Popham examined : I reside at 36,
Judd-street, and am one of the district surgeons of St.Pan-
ass. On the 19th of October I received a medial order to
attend deceased, who, it was mid, was either dead or dying.
I found the child dead, and from appearance* I thought en
inquest necessary, and gave notice to the police. I made
the post-mortem examination in the presence of the
constable, and I told him that the death was from era:
of blood on the brain caused by violence, and that it could
net have been accidental. I found the body
greatly emaciated, with ensanguined appearance, and
braises on the greater part of the body, especially the
=kolas on the right aide, and there were several lama-
tie= of the fore-arms. There were four bruises on the left
do art, several on the forehead, end two bruises on the vertex
der Mei On opening the skull, I found three or four
EINEE•eI ougelated blood effused between the dirro realer and
the basin.—By the Coroner : My opinion is, that the imam-
diatemus of death was effusion of blood on the brain, and
Welt was the result of external violence. I did my that I
miseidend the injuries were of that nature that I could not
thlak them accidental. I am not in a position to say posi-
tively how the violence was caused. I consider the salmi=
was from external violence, in consequence of the brasses:-
tonally appearing.—Dr. Qusin examined: I reside is Har-
leyetreet, and in my practice have seen upwards of 1,000
bodies opened. I have examined the deceased, a post morgue
bole( boa previously made. There were several bruises
mkt*, end great ecbymoeis. The child must have had a
wretehed onstatution, and there was a purpun and dropsy
misting. I have no doubt but the clot of blood on the brain
was the immediate cause of death. Such a thing might have
occurred spontaneously, or have resulted from a blow or a
fell.—Wm. Billinghurst and Stroh Bottler, inhabitants of
Argyle-place, spoke oldie kind treatment of the mother and
aunt of the deceased to that and the other children, and to
the heartless treatment they had experienced at the hands of
M'Gill and his family.—The jury returned the following ver-
dict: "That Harriet May use to her death from effusion of
blood on the brain, bat that whether that effusion was caused
by natural dimes* or accidental violence there is not mill.
efent evidence to show." The inquiry lasted several hours.—
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE SHOREDITCH STATION.—Before
Mr. W. Baker, at the Weaver's Arms, Spitalfields, respect-
ing the death: of Richard Elliott, aged 25, late in the em-
ploy of the Eleetric Telegraph Company, who was killed at
the Shoreditch station —Augustus Marshall, a guard, stated
that on Monday evening last, the 5 o'clock train from Hert-
ford, arrived at the Shoreditel station 12 minutes later than
usual, end when about 20 yards off the platform, the de.
ceaatd, who was In a second clue carriage, suddenly opened
the door end jumped out, while the train was in motion.
The door caught him and threw him with great violence
upon the platform steps. He rolled over and fell between
the division of the sets of carriages, NI of which passed over
his body.—Witness immediately called for assistance and
when raised from the ground he was found to be quite Eseal.
Formerly the doors of the carriages were locked to prevent
per opening the door before the train was stopped, but
they were abused by the passengers, who got through the
windows, and the company came to the determina-
tion of discontinuing locking the doors.—Witness had at.
tended six inquests, on the bodies of persons who
had jumped from the trains while in motion.—The
jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."—
FATAL ACCIDENT AT A DISTILLERT.—At the London Hoe-
pital, before Mr. Baker, on view of the body of Was. Gates,
a labourer in the employ of Mr. C. Curtis, a distiller, of
Mile-end.—On Saturday afternoon last the deceased was In
the still-room, engaged in filling a vat with brandy. He was
proceeding up a ladder with a ran containing four genus of
brandy, when his foot slipped and he fell backwards upon
his head. He succeeded in swing the brandy from
being upset. He was removed to the hospital, where it wee
found that he had received a concussion of the brain. He
died the same evening. Verdict, " Accidental
death." The jury recommended a rail should
be placed at the side of the ladder....—Da.avx
IN A BEWEIA—By Mr. Bedford, at the Feathers,
Dean-street, Soho, on the body of a fine your, woman, ap.
parently about 23 years of age.—Collins, a fisherman, stated
that on Moaday morning, es he was on the banks of the
river neer the Equitable Gasworks, he found the body of a
woman who had apparently been dead many hours. With
aseatance she was taken to the workhouse, but no one yet
had identified her.—Mr. Levies, of Great George-street,
examined the body, but found no marks of violence, and he
was of opinion she died from drowning. He stated, how-
ever, in answer to the coroner, that the same appearance
would be presented if she had been tnruwn in dead.—The
jury then returned a verdict that she was found dead, but

•hey had no evidenoe to know by what means. The body end
clothes remain at the workhouw, and the cora.). r expreamd
• hope that, by seam of the preas,the friends would be found

IRELAND.

Doecur. Ocr. 24.
The city and county grand juries have been dis-
charged for this day, and the linter stand adjourned
to Thursday. It was thought that the county jury
might be called upon to consider bills of indictment in
the case of Mr. Daffy, but it is now believed that no
such necessity will arise, as the crown will, it ie
believed, try Mr. Duffy on the indictment found at
the last commission, but on which the Attorney-
General then declined proceeding. Should a jury,
however, disagree or acquit on that case, the crown
is prepared to send up other bills for treasonable con-
spiracy. It is believed that Mr. Duffy's trial will
take place on Wednesday morning.
A memorial for clemency to Mr. Smith O'Brien ham
been agreed to by the Armagh gentry of all parties.
Col. Blacker and the Hon. Mr. Caulfield, as well as
Sir W. Verner, M.P. have sibned this memorial.
The permanent staff of the poor-law department in
Ireland is being extended. 'the commissioners have
determined upon the appointment of two additional
auditors of accounts. This will make the number of
those officers equal to that of our Irish provinces.
Doubtless the complication of the accounts which has
arisen from the inevitable extension of the pooe-law
relief has afforded grounds for this addition to the
department, but it would appear to ordinary persons
questionable whether they can effectively cnecl that
propensity to deviate from the strict line of economy
to which so many boards are said to be addicted. It
is not easy to understand how a gentleman,
strange to any particular union, entering the
board room, and taking up the books, can in a day or
two check with anything like effect accounts which,
if they represent dishonest transactions, will have
been arranged with a view to deceive inspection. At
' present it occurs, so at least says public statement,
that the auditors seldom give more than one day to
each union ; their numbers being doubled, they may,
in like ratio, give two days to each. But who be-
lieves the accounts of any poor-law union could be
checked in even the greater titre, and yet who can
expect that gentlemen with 5801. per annum and
" travelling expenses," will willingly devote more
time to their tolerably well paid duty?
The public here do not precisely know
whether your poor-law unions in England have
such officers attached ; but they take for granted that
if you have, their duties, and the period of them, are
rather more precise. At all events, they cannot un-
derstand why, at a time when some thirty or more
inspectors of unions are engaged under the commis-
sioners, the appointment of these additional officers
should deemed necessary.
Lieut. (now Capt.) Hamilton, Capt. Labelmondiere,
and a third military gentleman whose name has not
reached me, all employed under the Board of Poor-
law Commissioners in Ireland as poor-law inspectors,

have received orders to join their respective corps.
Some of those gentlemen have been, it is acid, fully
six years engaged on "special duty."

to the Lord Advocate, by whom it is now under considers-
