V!ESTMLVSTER.

Mr. Terrell, the barrister appointed to revise the
lists of voters for the city and liberty of Westminster, held
his first court yesterday in the Lords Justices' Court.

EAST SURREY.

Mr. W. Mawdeeley Best held his court at the
vestry hall. Camberwell.
The list of claimants for the parish of Camberwell con-
tained 107 names, against which the oversees made 24 ob-
jections, sustaining only five.
Two claims for plots on the National Land Society's
estate were opposed by the conservatives, on the ground of
the owners not having legal poen:salon : they 'tend over for
the production of the contracts of sale.
Mr. W. Williams claimed for freehold houses in Diamond-
row. The overseen had objected, but now wished to with-
draw the objection, both aides agreeing to the with-
drawal.
His Honour said that the law did not allow the over-
seers to withdraw an objection • and after some consider-
able discussion on the point the deeds were sent fur, and
the vote allowed.

Some notices of objection having been issued without the
name of the titular saint of the perish, the court questioned
whether they were legal, and six liberal objections io the
parishes of St. Mary, Newington, and St. Clue■, Camber-
well, stood over for ileciaion ou that point.

THE EARLY-CLOSING MOVEMENT.

A numerously attended meeting of assistants
engaged in the several drapery, millinery, and other esta-
blishments situated in Tottenham-court-road and its
vicinity, was held at Lawsoe'e-rooms, Gower-street, on
Wednesday evening. The meeting was convened io
support of the early-closing movement, and more particu-
larly in reference to the Saturday.
The Rev. H. T. Rees, M.A., incumbent of All Sainte,
Gordou-square, presided, and addressed the meeting in a
vigorous speech, which was much applauded. He dwelt on
the difficulties of the movement, and the necessity uf com-
bined seal and moderation on the part of the young men,
whom be exhorted to give a liberal support to the central
society.
Mr. Lemma moved the first resolution, " That the
assistants now present gratefully recognise the generous
onoduct of those employers who have adoped the Saturday
early closing movement, and they hope that by the use of
proper measures (in which they are willing to fulfil their
part) the success of the movement will be rendered more
general and decisive." The speaker forcibly described the
edvantages attending an early termination if business on
Saturday, and expressed his conviction that the active co-
operation of the young men was alone required to obtain a
much greater amount of success for this movement.
Mr. Paltailall seconded the motion, and in very ani-
mated terms called upon the assistants to help their own
cause. They owed much to the Early Closing Association,
and should work heartily with it.
The motion was then carried amidst much enthusiasm.

Mr. Permit, secretary of the emaciation, moved "That
iu order to give effect to the views entertaiued by this meet-
ing, it is desirable for a local committee to be at once
formed, act in conjunction with the Early Closing Ass*.
°Atkin. He referred to the working of the system of local
committees, and specified the liberality of Mauro. Shoot-
bral's assistants, whose entire contributions to the cause
during the last twelve months could motrevly be less than
1501., besides 2W. from the firm. He also mentioned the
liberality of several other firms, including Mr. Mandrill (of
Oxford-street), Messrs. Hitchcock and Co.. Mr. Somme, &c.
Mr. W. H. GIUMNLAY seconded the motion in an able
address, and the proposition having been carried,
Mr. KICINEDT, the finance secretary of the society, moved
a vote of thanks to the rev. chairman, which was :wounded
by Mr. PkrrcuawD, and adopted amidst prolonged ap-
plause.
The Rev. CHA1K11.4.4, in acknowledging the vote, ex-
prowed his willingness to do everything in his power to
promote the objects of the meeting.
Arrangements having been made for the formation of the
local conunittes, the proceedings terminated tit. a somewhat
advanced hour.

RABBIT BREWING IN FRANCA,—The A ojfe dta
Midi states that a farmer named Pine!, of Revel. in the
department of the Haute•Garoone has lately commenced
breeding rabbits on an extensive sale fur consumption, and
that he expecte the operation to be successful in a commer-
cial point of view. la the space of five month., from M►y
last, lie, with 50 female and five male rabbits, obtained
1,300 young, and he now intends to have 200 females. By
allowing these latter to produce only every two month*,
instead of every month, as %hey can do, he calculates that
he can procure NO nibbled' a month, or 6,000 a year. He
has had constructed a large shed, 30 metres long by 20 wide,
and 40 feet high ; and in it are 140 conipartmente, of which
10 are set apart for young rabbits separated from their
dams, 14 for the adults, 12 fur the males, and the rest for
doe rabbits ►nd other purposes. Pined makes this caicula•
Lion. Out of 270 rabbits born every month, the average
number of deaths is 12, so that theta remain for sale 268,
which am be disposed of for If. 10c. each, making 2S3f. 110 c.,
or 3,4061. tips. a year. This sum is increased to 4,4i631.
this. by the sale of the manure. the expense of pro.
ducing 158 rabbits is estimated at 1,372 f., so that a clear
profit remains of 3,281 f. 60c. As rabbits can be fed in
resit trail on the refuse of the farmhouse and farm-yard,
it is thought that peasants might, like Ariel, bread them
with advantage.
