MIDDLESEX.

Yesterday L. Shadwell, Esq., the revising barrister for
Middlesex, held his court at the New Globe Tavern, and
revised the lists of voters for Members of Parliament for
this county within the parishes and places in Mile-end
polling district.
Mr. Alley Jones and Mr. M'Clure attended as agents
in the conservative interest ; Mr. W. H. James for the
Liberal interest.

In consequence of the report having been circulated
that more freehold land society cases would present
themselves, the large room of this establishment con-
tinued to be crowded all day.
Henry Tyndall Atkinson's name was objected to by
the Conservative agent, Mr. Jones, and
The Revising Barrister prepared to erase the name
from the list, when

Mr. James objected to the attempt to strike off the
voter's name, upon the ground that the notice of objec-
tion had not been served. He now defied the Conserva-
tive agent to produce the notice,
Mr. Jones said it was true enough that he •ould not
produce the notice, for the fact was, that he had had
the notice in his hand bat two minutes previously, and
he now could not find it.

The BARRISTER said the disappearance of the notice
was as strange as it was troublesome.
Mr. James said, though he was a Radical, ho would
be extremely glad to aid in discovering who had been
robbing the Conservatives.—(Laughter.)

The name was retained on the list of voters.

John Robert Spencer Phillips, of Riffham's Lodge,
Danebury, Essex, appeared on the register as the owner
of certain freehold houses in Whitechapel-road; but as
he did not appear the name was about to be struck out.

Mr. M'ClUie said he was authorised to appear for him.
The notice was objectionable, because there was a dis-
crepancy between the address on the register and that
upon the notice. On the register the residence of Mr.
Phillips was described as at Riffham Lodge; in the
notice Raff ham Lodge. This discrepancy had invali-
dated the notice.

Mr. James referred to the 101st section of the Regis-
tration Act, which provided that no misdescription
that was not calculated to deceive the voter should in-
validate the notice. Here it was clear that the mere
substitution of an " a" for an " i" could not mislead the
voter.

The REVISING BARRISTER agreed in this opinion, and
retained the name upon the list of voters.
The court rose early. No freehold land cases were
brought before the court, as had been expected, pro-
bably owing to the discouraging blow they received at
the hands of the court yesterday. It will be opened to-
morrow at the Green Man, Bethnal-green.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
A further, though not considerable, decrease in the
mortality of London appears in the return of last
week. The deaths registered were 913. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51, the
average number was 1,039, which, if a correction is
made for increase of population, will be 1,143. The
highest number registered in any corresponding
week was 1,981, in the year 1849, during the cholera
I epidemic ; the lowest number occurred in 1842, and
was 766.
As regards the causes to which the deaths are
referred, the results of last week, when compared
with those of the preceding, show a decline under
the following heads :—tubercular diseases, diseases
of the nervous system, and of the heart ; while
I a small increase is apparent in the zymotic
class, arising principally from diarrhoea and
scarlatina. Fatal cases of diarrhoea and dy.
sentary increased from 96 to 109; those of scarlatina
from 58 to 67. Five deaths from cholera were regis-
tered in the previous week, Bin the last. Only 2
deaths are recorded as caused by measles. The cases
of small-pox number not more than 12, and all, ex-
cept one, occurred to children ; a gardener, aged 32
years, who had lately coma from Weybridge, and had
not been vaccinated, having died of the disease at
Queen street, Camden-town.
The following are the eight deaths returned as
caused by cholera :
In Belgrave sub-district, at 4, Elizabeth-street
South, on the 14th September, a man, lately a coach-
man, aged 69 years, died of " summer cholera (14
days)."
At 36, Vincent-square, Westminster, on the 15th
September, the wife of a master cabinetmaker, aged
28 years, " cholera (about 6} hours)."
In the sub-district of Golden-square, at 5, Mar-
shall-street, on 11 th September, the son of a boot-
maker, aged one year, " infantile cholera (2 days)."
At 10, Albert-street, Regent's-park, on 16th Sep-
tember, the wife of a tailor, aged 52 years, " cholera
(9 days), consecutive fever (5 days)."
In Clerkenwell, at 9, Lower Wood-street, on 11th
Sept., the wife of a fellowship porter, aged 33 years,
" cholera (60 hours)."
In lloxton Old Town, at 52, Old Gloucester-street,
on 12th Sept., the wife of a cab proprietor, aged 39
years, "bilious cholera (5 weeks), consecutive typhus
and erysipelas (2 weeks)."
In the sub-district of St. Paul (St. George-in-the-
East), at 17,:Johnson-street, on 12th Sept., the son of
a carpenter, aged 17 months, "cholera infantum (7
days)."
In Mulgrave-place, Woolwich, on 6th Sept., the
wife of a brewer's servant, aged 26 years, " diarrhosa
(3 days), cholera (1 day)."
At 3, Turner-square, Aldgate, on 11th Sept., the
son of a labourer, aged 11 months, died of " dentition,
(1, iarrhcea colliquative, tabes mesenterica (4 months)."
rhe medical attendant in this case, and surgeon of
the parish, writes on his certificate : "This death
was the consequence of wilful neglect continued
throughout four months in respect of diet and medi-
cine, combined with the had sanitary condition of the
locality. lam convinced that on an inquest a jury
would not convict, for they would not believe the
facts of the case, as being unnatural and monstrous.
It may be asked whether it would not be advisable,
in the present or similar cases when they occur in
future, to summon the offenders before a magistrate to
answer for their offence."
At 4, Pierrepont-place, Islington, the daughter
and son of a bootcloser, aged respectively 1 year and 3
years, died on sth and 11th September, of scarlatina,
hollowed in the latter case by typhus. The informant
