MIDDLESEX.

At the court held yesterday at the Chandos Arms,
Edgeware, Mr. Lancelot Shadwell, the barrister, re-
vised the lists for the parishes of Edgeware, Great Stan-
more, Finchley, Harrow, Hendon, Kingsbury, Stan-
more, and Little Pinner. In this polling district there
appears to be but little to hope for or to fear by either
political party, for in the whole of the above-named lists
there were only two objections by third parties, and
these involvel no point of interest. The objections
made by the various overseers were of the usual descrip-
tion, arising from deaths, removals, or disqualifications,
and none of them were defended.

The revision will close this day, when the barrister
will hold his court at Jack Straw's Castle, Harnpstead-
hill.

the clerk of the peace from the overseers of seventy-
twe parishes of the district, and a copy of the re-
gister of the electors. Mr, George R. Corner and Mr.
Thomas Jeans, secretary to the East Surrey Reform
gistration Society, attended on behalf of that society,
Mr. Burgon, solicitor, attended on behalf of the Na-
tion Freehold Land Society, and Mr. Drummond for the

ILLNESS OFIROSSINI.—A letter from Leghorn, in the
Gazette de Savoie, says :—I regret to announce to yon
that the health of the great composer Rossini has of late
declined so much that there is no hope whatever of his
recovery. A violent attack was lately near carrying him
off, but he partially recovered; and was able to return to
Florence. But even if he should live, he will never re-
cover his clearness of ideas. The deepest melancholy
has had possession of him since his last illness.

burg state that the price of carriage for goods over-
land to the frontiers had fallen considerably. A return,

kinds from that city, from the commencement of the

ing period of 1853.

The Ocean of Brest, of the 25th, says :—" A cannon-
ball fell yesterday within a metre of a, boat near Pointe
Armorique. It appears that this projectile must have
come from the Turenne line-of-battle ship, which was at
the moment trying some new guns of long range, which,
with a full charge of powder, will, it is said, send a ball
to a distance of three miles. The boat was only two
miles distant at the time."

at the Town Hall, on Thursday evening, when Mr.
Oliveira gave his constituents a general statement of the
measures and proceedings of the late session, and went
very minutely into the policy of the Government with
reference to the war, the financial state of the country,
agricultural prospects, and other topics of interest. The
hon. gentleman was very warmly received, and his ac-
count of public affairs appeared to give general satisfac-
tion to the meeting, which was composed of gentlemen of
various political opinions.
DEATH OF W. IL BARTLETT, ESQ.—Mr. W. H.
Bartlett, whose premature death at sea has just been

steady popularity both in England and' America. His
last published work, " The Pilgrim Fathers," is a his-
torical narrative of great interest; and, like ita prede-
cessors, is beautifully illustrated by drawings taken on
the snot.
