GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
In counties, or (17:dsions of counties, coot lining" two chief
towns, it may be desirable to have two Central Committees, one
for each surrounding division.
Each Central Committee should procure a copy tie last
ill the
poll, and an interleaved copy of the register, in which
returns of the District Committees should be entered. Each
District and Local Committee should be furnished by the
Central Committee with two interleaved copies of their part of
the register, each voter's last poll being marked on the margin
of one copy. Each District Committee should also be sup.
plied with ti map.:
Each CommiVee should enter, on the intevleaved copies of
their district register, notes of all information as to the (loath
or disqualification of voters. And one of these copies should
be transmitted by each Local Committee to the District
Committee, in the first week in July ; .together with a list of
all persons of reform principles qualified, but not registered,
so far as they have been able to ascertain them.:
The printed lists of persons qualified to act as jtirymen
will give great assistance iu ascertaining who are qualified to
be on the list of voters. These lists may be generally badin
each parish.

LORD PONSONI3Y AND TUE PORTE.

The difference with Lord Ponsonby continues, suit daiti
threatens to become inure serious. 'rho Noble Lord seerax
to have-become rather warm, while.the Portndoes every-
thing to appease him. He studiously endeavgnrF to defeat
every attempt at reconciliation. The Turkish Ministers
have therefore red lved to negotiate• directly with the
English Cabinet, and have, with this v:ew, sent a cosier
to London, who is to go by way of Par;., and deliver to
the Ttul:ish ambassador in that city instru,:tions relative
to the affair of Mr. Churchill. It should seem, therefore,
Lhat the Porte seeks the mediation of the F remit Govern-
went -This will hardly be refused, though Adrpiral Boas-
sin behaves with much caution, and endeavours .to avoid
whatelicr might implicate him in the dispute between
PoosGnby and the Porte. It is said that he by no
means approves of the conduct of his colleague, whore-
sists on the dist.
,Alssal of the Reis Effendi. Indeed Ido not
think things will c,'lne to extremities. The English Cabi-
net will be more dispa.wonate than its ambassador, and not
insist on the dismissal of a functionary esteemed bytbe Sultan,
whose only fault is, that he has taken too little notice of
an occurrence which in the eyos of a Turk is of no impor-
tance. It will consider that the .necessary consequence of
such differences must be to alienate- the Porte more .and
more from the Maritime Powers, and draw closer its con-
nection with :Russik A few days ago Lord Ponsonby was
in an unpleaisnt ei;itliarrassment, being obliged to apply to
the Porte for a Firnlan allowing an English brig to enter
the Channel, which was lying off the Dardanelles, with
the effects and suite of Mr. Warrington, English • Consul-
General at Tripoli. None cif his colleagues would ask for
the firman in his name, and Ire) was obliged to ask for it
himself. He obtained the
,permissio.l without any difficulty,
and the brig is now at anchor in the C.ltannel.
The dispute about Mr. Churchill has' caused M. War-
rington% demands to-remain in a state of sospense.—Allge-
melee Zeitung, June 26.

HORSES.

A Correspondent of the Morning. Advertiser, in the se-
cond letter of, we hope, a series, furnishes much, into 'esting
information 'connected with these useful and noble anin:als.
The writer, be he who he may, is a practical man, and is
thoroughly acquainted with the subject he has undertaken
to illustrate. In allusion to the ,horses of the East, he
describes the first Arabian mare which he ever saw (there
arc but few imported) as possessing but few' of the charac-
teristics of what is generally termed a good sort of
mare." Nature in her had not been et.kborate of out-
ward show ; she was even inferior in animal o?ganization to
those recently sent over to his Majesty, from the Imaum
of Muscat ; and those royal treasures have been pronounced,
and by good judges too, as sadly wanting in much that cra-
ters into the form and figure of our best modelled and .'highest
bred nags. _ _ _

With reference to the absurd notions-entertained in some
quarters respecting " the pure Arabian breed," our friend
justly enough remarks, that " all accounts respecting th.l
•.Arabian horse given by travellers should be received with
Gavtion, because it has unfortunately barTened that those
sch,,, were capable of ' 'placinn- their thoughts on the subject
upon oaper, have posse ned very -little
ai,„ wi,:h the noble animal which they affected to describe.
Nor is tho practical knowledge very easily acquired ; those
who are ar,-ious to attain it must ride much, be frequently
amongst variocskinds or elasies of the animal under con-
sideration, and tiot too for yearS, before they can form any-
thing like an accurate opinion. Further, if they feel desir-
as possible, or to acquire what may
rous to ascend as higi.'
be called a consummat.%knowledge of the subject, they
must arrange and methou.•se it in their minds ; they must
unite science and art in the -,faseinating study or pursuit, cro
they reach perfection."
Some persons may question ti:v.necessity of all this study
and science, and time, in order to fo:m an accurate opinion
of horse-flesh ; but we believe that; there is some truth in
the passage.
Speaking of the improvement in the size and fashion of
horses resulting from good grooming, f.'e says, " In esti-
mating the English thorough bred horse, or at least in
forming an opinion of the manner in which be has been
progressively improved, and the immeasurab:e superiority
which he has-at length attained, we must not oi.nit the very
weighty consideration of grooming and manage,-neat ; or,
in other words, the powerfu assistance which the operations
•of Nature have received from the influence of Art. Like
the English jockey, the Englisit groom stands unrivalled ;
Le is fond of the animal which is placed under his care : he
is devoted to, and fascinated with, his business or occup.a.
flan, and therefore whatever human ingenuity could
duce, for the furtherance of the object has been assiduously
and skilfully applied."
Arabian horses are rk:rely exported from the East, and
the reason is to be found is the disinclination of the Arabs
to part with theca. Owing to their predatory habits, mares
are preferable to horses, which in that country are always
entire, and therefore prone to .neigh, and thus apprise the
persons whom it is intended to ?hinder, of the designs of
the children of the desert. But caares might no doubt he
procured here, and our intelligent .;;•iend thinks that the
attempt should be made to improve the' breed of our nags,
by crosses with Arabian mares. Hith arto the Eastern
blood has been all on one side of the male. "In the pedi-
gree of Marske, the sire of Eclipse, there are s.;xteen crosses,
with seven different Turkish stallions, three crosses with
two Barbe stallions, four crosses with three Ara bian stal-
;:ons, and one cross with a Royal colt. Of femahls, eight
crosses of Royal mares, one of a Barb mare, and two Lsrosses
of asserted Arabian 'Dares, the genuineness of which, ,`tow-
ever, is extremely doubtful. On the maternal side, or 6:at
of Spiletta, the dam of Eclipse, there are eight crosses witis
three different Turkish stallions, two crosses with two Barbe
Stallions, and one cross with the celebrated Godolphin
Lrabian. Of mares, of those called Royal, there are seven
crosses ; of Barbs, two crosses ; but no Arabians. So that
it. will be 1,-reeived, in the pedigree of the extraordinary
horse above.no:ntioned, 'there are only two Arabian mares,
and these of a d0.....btful origin."
We can only find k-.ofon for the following extract, with
which we must conclude We have improved the size of
the Eastern horse in a most extraordinary manner ; and,
with the increase of size, this an.`azing length of stride, we
have fir, very far, outstripped him in speed : and, although
to a very great extent we have pr,verved that solidity of •
bone, elastic muscle, and development of tendon for which
the horse of the desert is pre.eminearr:v distinguished, yet
we have not been able to carry along, in. the progress of
improvement, that corky,' light-bounding, :leer-like action
for which be is so remarkable—at least, generally.
Whenever our large powerful racers happen to retain or
possess the genuine action of the little horse to whom I
have had occasion so frequently to allude, I,2leir speed has
uniformly been surpassing., as exemplified, no,: only in the
case of Flying Childers and Eclipse, but at the i resent day
-equally, if not more so, in those nonpareils of then' species,
Plenipo and Queen of Trumps."
If, therefore, so much has been accomplished by 60 in-
troduction of Arabian or Eastern blood on the part of :he
sire only, might not improvement be carried still further by
crossing with the opposite sex—that is, by putting some
good Arabian mares to our thorough-bred horses ? Such
a system might perhaps remedy the defect J have noticed.
above, in regard to action, or the mode of gois:l,g• At all
events, it is worth the trial. As to procuring Arabian
mares, and good ones, too, it would be attended with trouble
and expense, beyond all question ; but that they are procu-
rable, in these enlightened times, no person can venture to
doubt.

BREMEN, JUNE 7.—The number of emigrants to
North America is so great, that ships are frequently wanting to
receive them. The price of the passage to New York, which
three months ago was below 25 Prussian dollars, has risen to
45 dollars and more per head.

Private accounts from Malta say that M. Blacque,
Editor of the Moniteur Ottoman, who lately left us to go to
France, had died at Malta after d few hours illness, •
