VOTE BY BALLOT, Sze.
AT aPUBLIC MEETING of RATEPAYERS
of this PARISH, convened by the Vestry on a Requisition
numerously signed, held in the Workhouse, New Road, •
Dr. HARRISON in the Chair,
It was resolved—
ht. That this Meeting is of opinion, from the great and impor
tant benefits which have resulted from the practical use of the
Ballot in the parochial elections of this extensive parish, that it is
the only mode by which the independent exercise of the Elective
Franchise can be effectually secured to the voter, and, therefore,
ought to be extended to the Parliamentary Elections of the United
Kingdom.
2nd. That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the constitution
of the present House of Commons requires great alteration ; there-
fore, we hereby resolve to petition the Legislature for Universal
Suffrage, the protection of the Ballot, the equalization of consti-
tuencies; and the limitation of Parliaments to three years.
3d. That, for the purpose of having a more efficient and salutary
controol over the representation of the country, this Meeting is of
opinion that no Parliament should be elected for a longer period
than three years.

4th. That petitions founded upon the foregoing Resolutions be
presented to both Houses of Parliament, that to the House of Lords
by the Right Honourable Lord Brougham, and that to the House
of Commons by the Members for this Borough.
.sth. That the Resolutions this day passed be inserted in the
Morning Chronicle, Times, Advertiser, and Sun newspapers.
6th. That the thanks of this Meeting are hereby given to the
Chairman for his temperate, impartial, and able conduct while pre-
siding over this Meeting.
EDWARD HARRISON, M. D., Chairman.

TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY, BY PRIVATE
CONTRACT AND PUBLIC AUCTION.
MR. RAINY respectfully begs leave to acquaint
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Publie that he proposes
to ESTABLISH at this Gallery and Office, a GENERAL RE-
GISTER for the TRANSFER of REAL PROPERTY of every
deseriptie ), situate in any part of the United Kingdom, and of the
beet class of residences in London, upon a principle, and under
regulations which, it is confidently trusted, will claim consideration
and attention, especially from the landed interest and wealthier
susses; the groat object in view being to counteract and destroy
quackery, and to suppress those practices which are derogatory, by
opposing to theca a system of agency conducted with truth, impar-
tiality, anti independence calculated, it is hoped, to aorffd increased
facilities to transactions at a considerable saving of expense of time
and trouble, and with perfect security to the public.
A printed prospectus is in course of circulation, and may now bo
had at Mr. Rainy 's office, 14, on the east side of Regent-street,
in tha division between Piccadilly anti
