THE REGISTRATIONS.

-

MIDDLESEX.
The revision of the hat of vozcra for the county of
Middlesex was resumed yssterday, at the Castle Inn,
Brentford, by Mr. Lancelot S odwell, when the lists foe
the parishes of Acton, Brcutford, Lidos, Greenford, Use.
wall,lleston, I•lewor,h, North.)lt, Perris&lc, and Twicken-
ham, were proceeded with.

The liberal interests were advocated by Mr. W. IL
James, of the registration office, and Mr. T. Alley Joseu
assisted by Mr. B. Maclure, defended the conservatives.
In the parish of Ealing, Anthony Nathan de Roth-
child, described as of 2, Grosvenor-glace ; and Mayer Am-
geld de Rothschild, of 107, Piccadilly, wl.o it will be
remembered were struck off the register at tbe last revision,
lent in a fresh claim to be placed upon the register in respect
of a rent charge on freehold land, situate in the Orchard.
rokd, Brentford, granted to them by the Baron Lionel de
Rothschild.

Mr. Sidney Smith, of the City of London .toosixit-
tion, appeared in support of the claim, and produced the
deed of rent charge.
_ _

Mr. T. Alley Jones, the em'ervative erect, stated that
he appeared to oppose Ohre claims. Upon reference it
would he found that the rent charge, upon which the claim
was mad', was grant"' by the Baron Lionel de Rothschild,
the member for the City of Landon, to the claimants, who
were his brothers. At the lust revision, he (Mr. Joao) had
succeeded in expunging from the register the names of alt
three. He hoped to be able to show the court that the
present claims were not of a nature which could be legally
substantiated. Ilia objections to the present claims were
two-fold. First be centeuded that the nut-charge was ma
of sufficient value, being a rent-charge for life to threejoiat
tenants, and its amount bean; only 201., whereas the Re-
form Act provided that in the case of rent-charges for life,
in order to entitle a person to vote, they "shall be of no
clear yearly value of not less than ten pounds above all
rents and charges payable out of or iu respect of the same."
The present rent-charge of 201. divided by three would
only give 6/. 1:31. 4d. each. His second objection was that
the claimants had not been sufficiently long in possession
°Ulm rent-charge to entitle them to the franchise.

Mr. Sidney Smith based the claim entirely upon the deed,
to which he called the barrister's attention.

The Revising Barrister examined the di ed, and said that
he did not think it would be sufficient, because in the CU.
of a rent•cbarge, it was necessary that the parties should
have been in receipt and possession of the money arising
from it six months prior to the 31st July, and the deed was
only dated in December last.

Mr. Sidney Smith said that it was so; but it provided
that the first rent should become due, and did become doe,
and was paid on the 25th December, which gale a clear six
months before the 31st July.
Mr. Jones should be enabled to prove that no rent had
been paid upon the 25th December last. Ile would not
dispute that Mr. Smith held a receipt for the money, dated
in December lust, but it would he found that the ri:cipt
was not stamped until August last.

The Revising Barrister—l do not think it will be nem-
lacy to go into that part of the c.ise, as the value will be
found to be insufficient, and fatal to the claim•. What is
the necessary amount in the case of a rent charge for life ?
Mr. Jones—Ten pounds in a rent charge fur life, and
forty shillings in a rent charge in fee.

The Revising Barrister The precise words of the
act, the 2 Will. IV., c. 45, sec. 18, the Reform Act, are as
follows :—" That no person shall be entitled to vote in the
election of a knight or knights of the shire to serve in any
future parliament, or in the Election of a member or mem-
bers to serve in any fixture parliament, for any city or town
being a county of itself, in respect of any freehold lands Of
tenements whereof such person may be seised for his own life,
or for the life of another, or for any fins whatever, ex-
cept such person shall be in the actual and bona fide occu.
pation of such lands er tenements, or except the same
shall have come to such person by marriage, marriage set-
tlement, devise, or promotion to any bent fire, or to any
office, er except the same shall be of the clear yearly value
of not less than 101. above all rents and charges payable out
of or in respect of the same, any statute or usage to the con-
trary notwithstanding." Now, this is a rent ch,rge for
life, and it should be of the clear annual I .ilue of 101. to
each of the joint tenants.

Mr. Smith said it was a tent dune for 201., which would
be sufficient for the two claimants.

The Barrister remarked that there were three per.ona
named in the deed—it was a joint tiLancy by three
persons.

Mr. Smith had been under the impression that the deed
granted a rent charge of 20/. to each of the persons named;
but after what he had heard he felt that the reverse was the
case.

The Barrister, again referring to the deed, said he re-
gretted that he could not allow these claims upon the
ground of the insufficient •alue of the qualifications.
The claims were, therefore, disallowed.

Mr. Smith thanked the court for the attention which it
had bestowed upon the matter, and expremed himwlf satis-
fied that the claims could not have been legally sustained.

WEST SURREY.

Arthur Ryland, Esq., the barrister appointed to Mile
the lists of voters for the western tlivipiun of the county
of Surrey, held his first court ou Wednetuby last, at the
Spread Eagle, Epsom, and revised the lists in the parish',
of Ashetead, Daustead, Chessingtou, Cuddiugtan, Effing-
ham, Epsom, Ewell, Fetcham, Great Bookham, Headley,
Leatherhcad, Little Buokham, Stoke D'Abernon, Thames
Ditton, and Walton•on•the-Hill. Mr. G. Edgar Dennes,
solicitor, of London; Mr. J. Wells, solicitor, of London;
Mr. G. White, solicitor, of Epsom ; and Mr. T. Jackson, of
r Windlesham, attended far the reformers. The tarries were
not represented. The following is the result of the daft
revision:

Reform objections sugained —.lshstead 1, Banstead 10,

MANCHESTER.

The parliamentary revision of the eitiviss of Manchester
took place yesterday, by the lion. Richard Denman. Nei-
ther of the political parties had taken objectians to voters,
and there were but about 50 new claims, so that the work
was by no means a heavy one. The last year's register in-
eluded 17.826 names, whilst the present one has increased to
about 19,000.

Brialy touching on the instances of census taking afforded
by the Bible—such as the numbering of the children of
brad in the wilderness; and, again, when they passed
from a theocracy to a monarchy under David, and by other
histories, ',lancing at the enumeration of the people by the li
Persian conquerer, the race of Cato the Ceusor among the
Rumens, homer's catalogue of ships, and Milton's list of
the rebellious angels, each of which he contended
to be a kind of census—the lecturer proceeded to
show the absurdity of the Malthus theory, that pros-
perity stimulates the increase of population to such a de-
gree that it presses wilts' the means of subsistence, and
requires, for the abatement of that evil, a continual in-
terchange of peace and prosperity with times of calamity
and war. During the five decennial periods in which we
had taka3 the census the ratios of increase had stood as
follows
1801 to 1811
1811 to 1821
1831 he 1831
1831 to 1841
1641 to 1851
The greatest increase, it would be observed, was is the
kit two decennial periods, and those twenty years were
years partly of war; 8 years of the first 10 years were years
of war, 5 years of tee sec.nd 10 years were years of war
also; and yet then the population increased more rapidly
than it had done in any other two decennial periods since
that time. But it had increased in an unproductive popu-
lation—of children and of aged people ; and since then the
tortes,. bad been a wholesome increase, limited only by
our prudential feelings, and corresponding with our ad-
vancement as a sat an. The average number added

So that the increase had itself been annually increased on
the average throughout the whole of that period, and yet
with that our prosperity had gone on increasing also. Well,
then, we had here the mighty powers of nature presenting
themeless, as in a plant or tree, by thou successive rings
by which we tall its age. There it is—its inmost heart
sound and healthy, and ring beyond ring, each larger than
tht other, showing how, from year to year and from age
to age, it had gone on increasing the bulk of its stem
and the size of its trunk ; and not only of that alone,
but of all its other powers in proportion. For while the
truck has thus gone on increasing, the roots have shot
abroad more widely into the soil—they have forced their
way in this direction :and in that, wherever they could
find nutriment for it ; and whilst the trunk has been
enlarging and the rows spreading, the limbs have been
toss.ag themselves high in air, and by their thickening
faliage from year to year yielding shelter to man and bus%
whilst the birds of heaves ease amongst their branches.
(Rapturous applause ) It was said that this increase had
been affected by emigration. Ile could scarcely, however;
think any material effect could be traced to this cause. The
emigration in the last thirty years was between three and
Pair millions, and the population of Ireland had decreased
is the last ten years to the eatent of about • million and a
hilt. The population of Ireland was an unwholesome ve-
t, ~. and the people were scattered over the country de-
;-t al alone upon the soil, and upon that produce of
auto—which is the last that ought to be
depended upon as the suede of sulristenee of the
human race. Emigration had drained off a large
prop-vino of the lalrarring prridation—wages were
reit:et—property war being distributed--rhe whole bulk of
society wu rising into a more wholesome condition, and—
sit.,,t was the mast hopeful of all—while the aggregate
?ol ition had decreased—every town where there was •

On Monday evening last a public meeting was
held in the Town Hall, Hanley, for the purpose of consi-
dering the conduct of the English government in reference
to the affairs of Turkey, and the adoption of a memorial to
her Majesty on the subject ; the CHIEF BAILIFF occupied
the chair.

Mr. K. Snivzxaox said a series of resolutions had been
put into his hands, which he would reed to the meeting,
and move their adoption ; they were as follows:—" That
the actual events in the East have proved that the present
ministry are incompetent to manage the intercourse of
nations with due regard to the interests and honour or
England, and the acknowledged rights of her allies.
That by means of such ineompetency the physical
power of Great Britain ceases to exist for the main-
tenance of our interests and the protection of our
honour, and that, on the contrary, it comes to be trod
for ends injurious and fatal to the one and the other.
That such a state of things is not endurable and must he
altered; that while it endure*, freedom is an empty word—
government a mockery—and peace or war alike dangerous.
That these townships shall employ every means
their power to induce their representatives to put an en& to
permanent embassies, to secrecy is diplomatic business, sad
to compel a return to the legal practice of the constitution,
so as to p intercourse between the servant of the
crown and the representatives of a foreign state, save under
the warrant of the Great Seal, issued for that special pur-
pose. That we will use our best endeavours to induce other
