we like sheep," " Hallelujah," and "Worthy is the Lamb,"
were particularly remarkable.
The trebles got astray in " His yoke is easy," and the
quartet, " Since by man," was almost a break down, occa-
sioning a false start in the chorus which immediately fol-
lowed it. We doubt whether the singers were much to
blame in any of these instances.
A most discreditable exhibition took place at the com-
mencement of " Worthy is the Lamb." Instead of the
entire audience standing up in reverential attention during
the performance of this the most sublime of all finales, there
was a general move on the part of several hundreds of
people in the body of the hall, and before the close of the
performance the bad example was followed by fully half of
the audience. We doubt whether any place but Liverpool
could have produced such a spectacle at such a time. If
this be the " fashion" at that place, the sooner a more de-
corous custom is introduced the better.

TEE REGISTRATIONS.

MIDDLESEX.

Mr. Shadwell held his court yesterday at the Black
Dog, Bedfont, to revise the lists for the parishes and
places within the polling district of Bedfont.
Mr. T. Alley Jones and Mr. Davis severally attended
for the Conservatives and Radicals.

In the Bedfont list the name of Sidney Smith, the re-
doubted champion of the City registration, was objected
to as "dead." On inquiry it turned out that Mrs.
Smith had died, and the property was left to that lady's
sister, and on this ground the overseers thought proper
to put " dead" against Mr. Smith's name.
The Barrister said it was clear that the ground of ob-
jection on the part of the overseers was wrong, and he
therefore refused to erase the name of Mr. Sidney Smith.
The name of John Palmer, of Berner's Hotel, who
claimed in right of two cottages and ground, situate
near the Green Man, Hatton, was objected to by the
agents on both sides, the description of, the property
being unintelligible.—Claim erased.

In the Cranliourn list no case arose of any interest. In
Hampton there were only a few objections by overseers,
and none by third parties. In Hampton Wick and
Hanworth no objections occurred worth notice. In
Harlington list the names of Shadrack and Thomas
Philp were objected to by Mr. T. A. Jones, and the
names were expunged for want of proof as to the man-
ner in which the property had been devised, the will of
the father not being produced. The names of Richard
and John Philp were also expunged. In Harmonds-
worth there was one overseer's objection, and none by
third parties: In Laleham, Littleton, Staines, and
Stanwell there were a few objections by overseers, and
two or three by third parties, which were sustained. In
Sunbury, Ashford, and Feitharn there were no objec-
tions by third parties.
The Barrister asked- the overseer of Feltharn why he
was not in attendance at the proper hour'
To which the innocent rustic replied he was very
sorry, but it was through a mistake. It was said, "The
nearer the Gospel the farther from God." And KO it
was in this case, for he was the nearest to the Black
Dog, and hal actually seen the learned gentleman
arrive. He was very sorry; but—
The learned barrister here reproved the levity and im-
proper conduct. of the overseer, who, having received his
expenses, departed with his dog Toby.
in Shepperton and Teddington no objections were
raised by third parties. '
The overseer for Teddington not having appeared till
the court was over, the Revising Barrister mulcted him
of 10.3. and his expenses, leaving him 78. C-i. to pay his
costs, and telling Linn he ought to consider himself well
off to get 7s. Gd.
Mr. Trot, who is "parish clerk and sexton" there,
under similar circumstances was fined to an equal
amount.

The Barrister will hold his court this day at the Castle
Inn, Brentford, where a large amount of business stands
for consideration, and some warm disputes are likely to
arise in reference to claimants who are shareholders in
freehold land societies, &c.
