and hotted with the chains of despotism. (Cheers.) There-
fore his heart was with GatibsldL (Cheers.) He might
and did deplore the homes of war • but Garibaldi abated
them as far as a man could. (Cheers.) He might deplore
all the ravages and devastation that followed in the track
of heaven's worst scourge and hell's darkest visitation—
bloody war ; but lin heart was with a man who was not
fighting for the lust of conquest under the banner of the ty-
raat or the anarchist—who wee lot seeking the bubble of
fame or the equal bubble of power—who had no selfish aims
to gratify ambition, or to satiate cruelty, or to feed revenge;
but who was fighting that his oosuitry might have fair play,
might breathe the free air of heaven—that the people
might Worship God according to their conscience, and
might no longer be down-trodden and over-ridden by
pneetly power, that withering curse wherever it prevailed.
(Chess.) Therefore he said, " God_imeed Garibaldi, and
may he prosper." (Applause.) Garibaldi wee surrounded
by mighty powers, and it remained with the God of nations
whither Ita shouldet be free. There was
undergraded, and enslaved Austria, and also France, the
power and in the grasp of that subtle man whose dark
counsels no one could penetrate, and it might be
doubted what the issue yet might be. All he could
may was that if Louis Napoleon robbed Hely of liberty,
and took away with one band the boon which he pro-
feared to have glean with the other, and if Austria
came down with all her myrmidons and tried to
crush the spirit of riming freedom—it would be might
against right, their triumph would be an inglorious one,
their trophies would be blood-stained, and the chains they
put on others they would deserve to wear themselves ; but
even though struggling with but • handful of men, he bad
each faith in the God of ludic and truth, and in the
honesty and heroism of Garibaldi, as to believe that Annoy
with her myriads, and Austria with her myrmi-!ons, would
fttl it no easy thing to stamp out the flames of liberty in
and that Garibaldi and his freemen might perhaps
even put to rout and to shame France and Austria
combined. (Cheers.) Assuredly each a cause would have
the sympathy of this country. He did not think the
country should go to War : but there was • moral influence
and sympathy which England might extend to struggling
Italy. ((Amer..) England was free herself, and should
wish to ace others free. Her moral influence might yet
protect struggling Italy, and be tasted they might yet
see that country spiritually and politically free. (Cheers.)
They had recently seen that the Bible was publicly sold in
the streets of Naples. They might as well almost have
supposed a short time ago that the protestant Bible would
he sold in the very vestibule of the place of woe. (Laughter.)
And then what was to become of the poor old Pope ? It
was said that the Emperor of France had a berth ready
for him, and it was also said he was going to Jerusalem,
and even to Ireland. His prayer for the Pope was that he
might himself become another man, and give up his pre-
tensions to be the vicar, and become the lowly .errant and
minister of Christ. He exhorted the "protestant watch-
men " before him not to ran away with • false notion. As
the Pope did not make popery, but made him, so if
he were shut up in St. Helena millions would still stick to
the system. The downfall of the temporal power of the
papacy might shake, but it would not destroy, popery. He
u them, therefore, to go on with their work. The
false
eprophet Mehemet was near his destruction, and he
believed the false priest would not be long after him.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday J. Fraser bisoqueen, Esq., resumed
his sittings in the Lords Justices Court, Westminster-h►ll,
for the revision of the lists of voters for the city of West-
minster. Mr. Huggett appeared no behalf of the West-
minster Registration Assoc:mho°, and Mr. Smith on behalf
of the Conservative Association.

The first list taken was that for St. James's, which wee
gore through without any point arising calling for roniark.
When the court came to the list for the precinct of the
collegiate church of St. Peter, Westminster,
Mr. Haggett called on the court to require the rortieswbo
represented themselves as the overseers of the parish to
prove that they had complied with the requirements of the
act for forming the district into a parish.
Mr. Smith said this newly constituted parish was for-
merly an extra-parochial place, and, under the Rth
Vktak, chap. 18, the overseen of the adjoining pariah
GI St. Marpret it were bound to include the persons en-
titled to vote in that district in the list for St. Margaret's,
but they had not done so, sad the parties, not at ichnig the
same iniportanoe formerly to the franchise they did
now, bad never made any claim. The 38th V iaoria, chap.
19, enacted that, after the Slst December, 1867, every such
district should, ler tie purposes of asesemeut to the poor
and county rate, and for the registration of parliamentary
and municipal voters, be deemed a parish, and the
Ration in petty sessioLs were empowered to appoint over-
seen. That bad been done, and Mr. Marsh was appointed
the overseer.
. . . . .

11x. Haggett rid the dare in the act of parliament
stated that places which were to be found in the Registrar-
General's report of the last census might be fi inied into a
parish. He submitted th►t it should be shown that this
pleas was in the Registrar General's report.
Mr. Rogers, the clerk of the magistrates, said before the
appointment of the overseer, the attention of the magis-
trates was called specially to the matter, and he saw the
Registrar-General's return, in which this play was named.
The Barrister rid he considered that euftioicnt. He
should assume that the magistrates satisfied themselves that
the requirements of the act had been complied with.
The court then proceeded with the list.
The Rev. Charles Maddox Arnold was objected to by the
Liberals. . _

Mr. Marsh stated that be was receiver-geoer•l of the Dean
and Chapter of Westminster, and overseer of the precinct
of the collegiate church of Cit. Peter, Westminster. Mr.
Arnold was a minor canon, and occupied • house in the
cloisters, which was considerably above the value of 101. a
year. They had no poor in their parish, and as there was
no necessity for any rate, they did not make one.
Cross-examined—lt was Mr. Arnold's duty, se minor
canon, to read the service in the cathedral daily during three
months of the year. 'Ms house was allotted to lieu by the
dean and chapter on his appointment as minor cAnon. He
was amemed to the house duty.
Mr. Haggett cited the case of " Dobson v. Jones," re-
ported in Blown and Arnold. Sir W. Dobson, re surgeon
to Greenwich Hospital, occupied • house in the hospital,
and the barrister held that be occupied it as servant of the
government, and the Court of Common Pleas confirmed the
decision. He submitted that that decision governed the
present case, Mr. Arnold not occupying the house either
as owner or tenant, but by virtue of his office.
Mr. Smith contended that the owe were not parallel, and
The Revising Barrister mid Mr. Huggett had not inter-
bed him that Mr. Arnold was not entitled to be on the list,
and be should therefore retain the name.

Mr. Hulett said this decision governed the other cases
an the list, except where the taxes had not been paid.
The lid was then gone through, and, with the exception
of four who had not paid their taxes in time and one who
was dead, the names were retained.
Mr. Haggett observed that in the city of Westminster
upwards of two thousand persons had been omitted from
the register this year in conatainenoe of the stet.• of the law
with regard to the payment of tales, and the demand not
being made until after the period fixed by the act for

payment.
- The other liata were then gone through and the revision
was ooneladed.
The result of the revision, as made out by the agent fur
the liberals, is that of 23 liberal claims 13 were allowed,
and of two conservative claims one was ; that
of
466 objections made by the Womb KM were stuitained,
failed, and 36 were withdrawn.

GREAT FIRE AT LlMEHOUSE.—Festerday even-
ing, about sit o'clock, it wee disooveied that the sugar-house
and refinery of Meson. Goodhart, in flerseterry-nand,
Liumhouso, wee on fire. The factory was one of the largest
of the kind in the metropolis. It was nine stories ii. height,
some 200 feet in length, and 80 feet in depth, and flanked
the river entrance of the Regent's Canal Dock. The work-
men had not loft the building, and two or three of them
who were employed near the spot where the fire appears to
have commenced—the south-western angle of the upper
iloor—had some difficulty in making their escape. They
did so by getting on the roof and lowering themselves
by ropes which were thrown up to them from
below. From the upper floor the fire soon
spread downwards, and within three-quarters of en hour
had embraced the whole of the building, the venous stories
of which were filled with row and manufactured stock. 1111.
Braidwood and a powerful body of men, with both laud and
floating inigiues, were soon on the spot ; but, owing to the
state of the tide, some difficulty wee experien..-d in get-
tin; the floating engines into the lock entton-e of the
canal ; and the land engines appear to have at first had only
• scanty iv..pply of water. Loth were ultimately out into
full play, but not in time to save the greater part of the
contents of the premises. The damage is estimated at over
30,000 f. The firm was insured to r considerable amount.
