That was the result of the revisks, and he had only again
to thank the court for the uniform courteey sad accommoda-
tion wbiob had at all WIMP bees alloeded to this in their ea-
desvowu to bring the register into a 8t state fee the benefit
of the public. He trusted that they might continue to meet
his honour there many year., and that the public might still
have the advantage' of hie services, for the list. were now in
a perfect state, which could hardly have been expected if they
went beck to the time when they were first menected with
the business of the registration. It wee no cause of regret,
but rather of congratulation to himself and party, that they
were again confronted by his hon. opponents, se it was to
the interest of the public; and now that the matervative
feeling has. again revived fa the City, they would have the
advantage of their supervision of the work. He regretted to
learn that his honour dd not enjoy his usual good health,
end It was his sincere wish that when next they met he might
be better enabled to undergo the labours of the revision.

Mr. Carlisle, on the part of the Connevative
said he could only reiterate the good feelings otl=
Mr. Smith, that his honour might be spared until next year, '
to be in better health, as no one had ever revised the Hate
with grouter credit, or evinced a greater desire to make them
cornet. The conservatives had not appeared for the bet six
or seven years, but they had aroused from their enpinemem,
and were determined to take the bull by the horns, and no
logger allow the liberal party to have it all their own way.
He elso begged to expense to Mr. Smith and Mr. Ledger his
sense of the kindness he had received, and hoped to meet
them all next year in good health and vim'.
The Revising Barrister thanked Until for their kindly
feelings, and said he bed been greatly assisted by them in
their eadeanare to mats the lists according to law, and the
agreeable manner la which the different parties had conducted
thiamine was a gnat comfort and satisfaction to him, and
he wished them all health and prosperity.
The prooeedings then term .

ROCHDALE.—The recision for the Rochdale divi-
des' of the county was brought to a conclusion on Saturday.
To vows on the register end new claims, there were 426
objections by the %wire, and 20 by the liberals. The latter
were thus disposed of.-12 withdrawn; 1, deeeription
amended ; 3, servos of object ion not proved ; 1, sustained ;
3, not sustained. Of the conservative objections, 209 were
withdrawn; 126 were successful by reason of non-appear-
ante • 25, description amended ; 14 sustained on nitrite; and
43 not sustained.

LIVREPOOL.—The revision of the list of persons
earitlei to vote at the eleet•on of members of parliament for
the Womb of Liverpool, which commenced yesterday week
Wore Mr. T. 8. Brendreth, in St. George's Hall, has thus
fir been fawarabis to the conservatives. Up to Fricley even-
ing the liberals hid sustained 416 objections sod 16 claim;
while the conservatives had sustained 820 objections and 16
shone. - .

---iN—AREBBOROUGII.—The list of voters for this
borough we. revised on Thursday, by T. K. P. Lefroy, Esq.,
barrister. The liberals were represented by Mr. Leeman,
solicitor, York, instructed by Mr. Kirby, solicitor ; end T.
Collins, Esq., ono of the present members, acted for the
aoseervatives. There was a good dial of interest manlhated
in the proceedings, which oecupied upwards afoot hours.
The liberals made twelve objections and sustained nine, the
tortes four sod smaiaited two. Three claims were made by
the liberals and four by the tales. They each had one
allowed. This gives a gaiu of seven to the liberals, in addi-
*Son to which there are, we understand, four tortes who are
air UM lista for nonpayment of rates. The result in such
• small constituency may, therefore, be considered very fa-
vourable to the liberal came, especially when it is considered
the majority for Mr. Collies over the liberal candidate at
the last Meadow was only 13.
Yea=.—The court for revising the _ city list of
voters was held an Wednesday lsat, in the Guildhall, before
Mr. Lefroy. Between 500 and 680 claims and objections
were mode. The revision shows a clear gain of 51 in favour
of lbs liberals, which, with the freeman added gore the Let
election, makes a difference in favour of the libsrele of 160
voles. _ _ .

WEST RIDING.—The returns of the claims sus-
tained and peraor.s struck off the old list have now been made
up. The result in the Barnsley district. comprisiog 27
township., has been a considerable gain to the conservatives.
A number of claims by members of building societies were
warmly oonteand, and some of those put to the test had a very
narrow escape, the deer 40.. required by the act taking no
smell trouble to be clearly made out. The following Y the
malt at Barnsley :—Conservative, new claims, 172 ; struck
off, 16. Liberals, new 167; struck off, 28; doubtful, 9.
Conservatives struck off the list, 12 ; deaths, 16 ; total 28.
Liberals struck off old hat, 29 ; deaths, 18 ; total, 47. Total
conservative gain, 41.

Ma. Batonr, M.P.—The following letter of this
gentleman was recently received by Mr. John Darichion, the
author of a pamphlet, entitled "A New Reknit Bill"
Rochdale, Sept. 21, 1869. Dear air —I do not think such a
bill as is described in your pamphlet either practicable or
just. The excluaimia contemplated would turn out most
capricious in working. lam in favour of an ex-
!enema of the franchise, consistent with our ancient
preake, bused upon occupancy and unfettered by c 32-
(dilatation. connected with education or temperance. Pin
the franchise at the point which will include all ratepayers,
or at • W. restel—at some point on which the majority can
agree—but don't ooefuse the question with questions of
moral.. If you try to exclude ell men who ate not perfectly
wise and prudent, and to include only the Intelligent—your
whole system will break down. If you will trust the people
in the balk, without attempting defteitions and choke seek-
Hies, you wall get a good constituency, and without didl-
culty.—l am, pure respectfully, JOHN BILIOHT."
MR. COBDEN AT CILAWhIIAW BOOTlL—Richard

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.-FACULTY OF
MEDIUM

Yesterday the distribution of prizes to the students
el University Collage In the Faculty of Medicine took place
in the theatre of the college; Sir FRANCIS H. GOLD-
AMID, Q.C., prodded.
The DEAN of the Fm ctrr mad a report, which stated in
substance that the condition of the college was on the whole
satisfaciory—the number of students being 198. It wee
stated, in detail, that a coneiderable number of the diadems of
this college had occupied conspicuous positions in the exami-
nations for degrees in the University of London, and bad
carried off several gold and silver medals and scholarships.
The college had been deprived of the services of Dr. Car-
penter, in the chair of medical jurisprudence, owing to the
demands of duties in connexion with the University of
London and his place had been eupplied by the appointment
of Dr. Hardy. The opening of a apadous museum in tho
college for anatomical and physiological speedwell' had been
attended with considerable breath to discoursed study. An
annual exhibition of 301 for proficiency in pathological ARA.
teeny had been founded by Mr. Filliter, the either of the late
Dr. Philter, who was formerly a student of the college.
The pixel in each doss were then distributed to the sue.
earful competitors by the chairman, amidst considerable
applause, which was probably at the loudest when a gentle-
man of colour, a native of Trinidad, advanced to receive two
at lead, and we believe three of theorize!. The only excep-
tion to the publication of the lid of names is the following:
Pathological Ansbeeny—Prokeror Dr. 'lsmer. Gold
medal Samuel Ho Adams. Silver medal Wm. Murray.
Certificates: Alfred Woodforde, F. William Gibson, Wu).
John Hunt, Isidore B. Lyon.
Fellowea' Clinical Medals: Gold medal. Winter term,
Philip Sydney hem
Summer Term.--Gold medals, equal :—Thomas Charles
Mirky and Augustus Hawley.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to address the students
and the company assembled, and the proceedings closed
with a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was exceed.
icily well received.
