REGISTRATION OF VOTERS

MIDDLESEX.
Messrs. COYtNTILY and TAMLYN held Courts yesterday,
at. the Court-house, Marylebone, for the purpose of closing
the lists of the county, by disposing of certain cases and
lists which stood over.
(Before Mr. TAMLYN.)
In the 11St, of St. James's, Clerkenwell, Messrs. Parker
Pitman, Frederick Pitman, and Neale claimed to be re-
gistered for the county of Middlesex, as " trustees of the
Claremont Chapel."
Mr. TAMLYN said it appeared that the chapel was con-
veyed to -the four claimants by deed, and to others with
them, their heirs and assigns, in trust, to allow it to be
used for the preaching and promulgating particular religious
doctrines. The question was, whether these came within
the meaning of the 23d section of the Reform Act, or, in
other words, whether they were in the receipt of the rents
and profits. The deacons of the chapel were to receive
the pew-rents and voluntary offerings, and two of these
claimants being deacons, he should retain their names on
• the register. The other two gentlemen not having that
character, and not in receipt of the rents and profits, they
should be expunged.
Mr. TAMLYN having been occupied the entire day with
the revision of the list for the borough of Marylebone, post-
poned the remaining county lists till to-morrow (this day.)
(Before Mr. COVENTRY.)
In the Shoreditch list it will be recollected that the Rev.
Mr. Mardon claimed to be registered in respect of his office
of minister of a dissenting place of worship. Mr. Coven-
try decided against the claim, but promised to look into
certain documents which Mr. Mardon handed in. Mr.
Mardon inquired yesterday whether, on inspecting the do-
cuments, the Learned Barrister had come to a different
conclusion, as he (Mr. Mardon) had been advised that these
docunients were sufficient to distinguish his claim from that
of other dissenting ministers.
Mr. COVENTRY said he had spent some hours in perusing
the deeds and documents which had been delivered in ; but
he could see nothing in them to vary Mr. Mardon's case
from that of other dissenting ministers. Under these cir-
cumstances, he should expunge the name of Mr. Mardon
from the list.
The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (this da

BOROUGH OF GREENWICH.
Yesterday Messrs. BOSANQULT and TYNDALE resumed
their sittings at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, and the pro-
ceedings possessed some interest, as the question of the
right of the officers of Greenwich Hospital and of her Ma-
jesty's Victualling and Dock Yards at Deptford to be upon
the registry was argued and decided. •
(Before Mr. BOSANQUET.)
The following officers in the Victualling-yard were ob-
jected to by the Liberals, and supported by the Conserva-
tives, viz., Sir John Hill, the Superintendent ; Mr. Black-
lock Benstead, the principal clerk . Lieutenant Samuel
Hinton, the Warden ; Henry Emery, the master miller ;
Dr. John Brown, the surgeon ; and six others.
Mr. Holmes and Mr. Sandon having been heard for and
against the claim, the Court proceeded to give its judgment,
expunging the names.
The claims of Sir It. Dobson and other officers of Green-
wich Hospital were also disallowed on similar grounds.

DOVER, OCT. 24.—This morning the Duke of
Wellington arrived here, and, after breakfasting with the
Duke of Cambridge, proceeded to the Antwerp Hotel, to
hold a Court of Lrndmanage, and was received by a guard
of honour of the 69th Regiment of the Line, and under a
salute from the Western Heights. He then proceeded to
St. James's Church, to open the Court, attended by Col.
Jenkinson, Deputy-Governor of Dover Castle, and a large
body of Cinque Port Pilots. After choosing the Master,
Mr. William Gravenor, they sojourned to the above Hotel,
to make choice of new pilots, when the following young
men were appointed :—Peter Dicent, Richard Hobday,
T. Norwood, Willia,n Molland, William Pogniss, Richard
Colard, Thomas T.,-.)ur, Wm. Dowers, Edward Gore, and
James Wood: The Court seemed more particular than it
was ever I".nown to be ; it rejected four applicants, for want
of grope! qualification. The Duke and the Court will
dine at the Antwerp Hotel.
The ,g Memoirs of the late Captain John Harley,"
so many years Paymaster of :the 47th Regiment, are an-
nounced for immediate pulllication under the appropriate
title of " The Veteran," for we believe that few officers have
been so many years in the British service. Captain Harley
enter:fa the army young, and with his gallant regiment en-
cosnterecl numberless vicissitudes incident to the fortune
'of war in Egypt, Spain, Portugal, &e. His adventures ex-
tend over a period of no less than forty years, during which
time ho came in contact with a vast number of celebrated
persons, who will, of course, figure in his narrative. The
public( cannot fail to look with much interest to the expe•
tomes of " The Veteran."

In the streets of Munich it is now no uncommon
thing to see ,pale,wasted figures, the living images of the
last' degree of wretiteclness, stalking about, their nakedness
scarcely concealed by their ragged remnant of a foreign
uniform. These are some of the Bavarian soldiers who,
about- four years ago; were enlisted for the Greek army of

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 183

The Spectator states 44that the Dublin Freeman's
Journal, and Morning Register, earnestly espouse the
cause of the people of Lower Canada against Lord J.
RUSSELL and the Colonial Office. It puzzles the
Solomons on this side of the water," he says, " to tell
why the Liberal Newspapers of Dublin should have gone
out of their way to attack the Whig Ministry in Eng-
land and Ireland, for their domestic and Canadian po-
licy." "Is there," heiadds, "at last something like
estrangement on the part of the Liberals from Lord
MuLGRA vE ; or is the whole a plan merely for
driving Lord PLUNKET out of office ?" As the
hints of the Spectator may 'go for something, and a
belief be entertained that all those journals in which
the faults and errors of the Ministry are candidly pointed
out, are hostile to the present Administration, we must
speak for ourselves—and we trust that the motives
by which we were actuated likewise influenced the
conduct of the Liberal Dublin papers. We arc
anxious to see the present Ministry continue in office,
and become stronger and stronger every day in the
country and in Parliament, because we expect from
them measures which will correct the long existing
abuses of the country, and give the people good go-
vernment—which long and dire experience tells us we
never can expect from the Toi ics, were they in power.
Some of the faults of the Ministers may arise from ig-
norance ; others from erroneous views which they take
of what measures are necessary to carry out the prin-
ciples they profess. Now, whenever they act contrary to
those principles, we .considcr it a friendly act
to call their attention to the deviation, and to point
out their departure from the broad principles of con-
stitutional and representative government, to which
they are pledged to the nation. We cannot admit that
the pointing out all such errors, and complaining of
them as infractions on the liberty and rights of the sub-
ject, ought to be considered as hostile to the Ministers,
or indicating any estrangement from them. We, as
honest journalists, have loudly complained, and blamed
the Ministers for many of their acts of commission,
and of omission—we have often done so in lan-
guage strong, and not to be misunderstood by
them, or by any man ; but we have done so without
considering ourselves as hostile to the Ministry. With
respect to Canada, to which the Spectator refers, we
have considered it our duty, and an act of friendship
towards Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration, to ob-
ject to their conduct towards the Canadas, at the
time of passing their - resolutions through the House
of Commons, as at variance with the great consti-
tutional principles on which their Ministry was
formed ; and we have called the attention of the
public to the effects produced in Canada, on
the arrival of those resolutions there. We have stated
the deep regret and strong indignation with which
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S resolutions have been treated
by the representatives of the people, and by public
meetings in almost every county and town in the pro-
vince. We have complained bitterly of the violence
with which Earl GOSIORD is carrying on his go-
vernment there, and attempting to stifle the expression
of public opinion upon- these proceedings of the Im.

perial Parlia►nent and of the Governor. We havo
even intreated Lord MELBOURNE to re-consider his
conduct, and even to concede to the wishes of the Ca-

nada people, by repealing those odious revolutionary
resolutions ; but we nevertheless do not consider

ourselves in opposition to, or estranged from the
Administration. Quite otherwise. It is because we

----- -
are anxious to see the people in Canada contented,
and acting in unison with the Government, that we
have taken the trouble we have done. We wish to
see justice done to Ireland—to the Canadas—and to
every portion of the empire ; and therefore we hay
