The resent brief enjoyment of political power by a coiner-

to renewed exertione, for, according to present symptoms,
a "revival" of conservative faith in the value of Sir R.
Peers celebrated axiom of " Register, register, register,"
has nude its appearance within the parliamentary
dietricts in and surrounding the metropolis. Thus, in the
City of London, which for some years has been quietly sur-
rendered to the solitary vigilance of Mesta. S. Smith and
Ledger. an outbreak of activity on the part of those who se
naancemssfolly, and without authority, throat forward the
name of Lord Statile at the recent general election may be
looked for. It is understood that at the forthcoming revision
of the electoral lista for the City, the coneervatives will be re-
presented by an agent to support some 300 or 400 objections

no political repreentative has appeared before the revising

parties have itercedy fought each name, the fight will be
renewed upon title occasion. South Rases, we believe, will

be fermented, and, as each petty has made many hundreds
of °Amoebae, the revision will probably occupy more time
than usual. According to the act of parliament the re-
vising barristers most hold their courts and conclude their
labours between the 16th of September and the 3lst of
