REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

Messrs. MYLNE and CRAIG, the Barristers appointed to re-
vise the List of Voters for the City of London, held their first
Court to-day at Guildhall. On taking their seats Mr. MYLNE
stated that the course they proposed to take was this :—ln
this Court (the King's Bench) he (Mr. Myine) would revise
the List of the Liveries ' - and his Learned Friend Mr. Craig
would sit in the Court of Common Pleas to revise the List of
Householders. After revising the Lists of the Livery, he (Mr.
Mylne) proposed to proceed with the Lists of the Householders,
beginning at the letter N.—the Court sitting every day from
ten till four o'clock. _ _

A GENTLEMAN suggested that it would be convenient that
the Court should not proceed further than receiving the
Lists to-day.
Mr. MTLNE said, with respect to the Liverymen, he thought
he should be enabled, in addition to receiving the Lists, to
dispose of several cases; but as to the Lists of Householders,
no doubt his Learned Friend would be occupied the whole
day in receiving them.
Mr.' CRAIG said that it occupied him the whole day last year,
and it would probably take more time this, as he should have
to ask in every case, in consequence of the Act passed in the
last Session, whether the list had been made out by the 31st
July, instead of the 31st August.
One of the Solicitors in attendance suggested that it would
be more convenient if Mr. Mylne, after he had disposed of the
lists of the Livery, was to proceed with the lists of the house-
holders, beginning at the' letter Z, and proceeding backward
till he met Mr. Craig. After some discussion the arrange-
ment was agreed to.
All the lists having been received, Mr. Mylne proceeded to
read the names in each seriatim, beginning at the

APOTHECARIES' COMPANY.
No objection were made to any of the names on this list.
ARMOURERS AND BRAZIERS.

Mr. RowcaoFr objected to the name of George Marshall,
Pagent's Wharf, Rothorhithe, on the ground that he did not
reside within the limits prescribed by the Act. No person
appearing to support the vote, it was disallowed.

KINGSTON PETTY SESSIONS.

An ill-looking fellow, named Thomas Senzple, a carpen-
ter, residing in Kingston-buildings, Kensington, was charged
with having assaulted his wife.

Harriet-Semple, the wife of the defendant, who ap-
peared with her left arm in a stated that on the
morning of Sunday the 25th ult., the defendant abused her,
and struck her a violent blow on the face. He then seized
her by the left arm, which he wrenched in such a manner
that she had ever since been unable to use it ; but, not
content with that, he afterwards seized her by the right
arm, out of which he bit a large piece. (The complainant
here exhibited a wound in her arm of about an inch in
diameter.) The only reason she could allege for his con-
duct was his wanting to part with a small house which
she had built during the lifetime of her first husband, but
which she wished.to reserve for the support of a poor deaf
and blind child which she had had by the defendant.
The Bench ordered him to pay a fine of twenty shillings,
and to find bail to keep the peace for six mouths.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.`

HATTON- GARDEN

Yesterday, John Croatia, a desperate Irishman, who has
been frequently in custody at this office, charged with vio-
lent assaults, and was once under sentence of death, having
been convicted of stabbing Fuller, a constable of the E di-
vision, was again brought before Messrs. ROGERS and
BENNETT, charged by Inspector Penny, of G division, with
having created a disturbance, and threatening the life of
police constable No. 9.30, G division.

Inspector Penny stated, that on Thursday night last,
the prisoner was observed lurking about the station-house,
in Rosamond-street, Clerkenwell, as if waiting for some-
body, and at length he forced himself inside, and inquired
for the constable 230. He was remonstrated with, when
he became exceedingly outrageous, and swore that he would
have the life of that constable. He was ejected, when he
commenced knocking at the station-house door, and col-
lected a large crowd; he was taken into custody and locked
up, when his conduct became extremely violent.
It was here stated, that a short time ago, the prisoner
pursued a gentleman on horseback in Leather-lane, Hol-
born, with a knife in his hand, threatening to murder him,
when he was taken into custody, and ordered to find bail.
He was tried at the Old Bailey for stabbing Fuller, but be
was pardoned after an imprisonment of six months.
The prisoner, who stood at the bar affecting to cry,
begged for- forgiveness, and not to be sent to prison.
He was eventually taken to prison in default of bail.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
London, England, 1836-12-27

OLYMPIC.

It is impossible that good actors should go through the
work of even an inferior playwright in an unpleasing man-
ner. In the burletta which was last night produced here
entitled A Double Dilemma, there was an illustration of this
in favour of the actors and actresses, and at the expense of
the author. The whole plot of the thing consisted in
Isabelle (Mrs. Honey) endeavouring to ascertain the sin-
cerity of the professions of her lover, Theodore (Mr. Vin-
ing), which she does by a change of costume, appearing upon
the stage red-haired and elderly, instead of black-haired and
juvenile. Plot, strictly speaking, there was none, and the piece
would appear to have been intended merely as a medium of con-
veying two songs, sung by Mrs. Honey, in one of which she
was encored. Mr. J. Vining appeared, after the fall of the
curtain, with the design of announcing the piece for repe-
tition, but was compelled to retire amid the loud " Noes"
of the audience. He would be an Actor followed, and the
performances concluded by a " new, grand, comical, alle-
gorical, magical, musical burletta in one act, being a well-
known fairy tale twisted into verse and platted with prose,
as occasion requires, entitled Riquet with the Tuft. The
reason given for this adoption of a fairy tale is, like most of
the reasons given by Vestris, delivered in rhyme. In the
finale she says—
Our old mythology we thought was getting out of date,
And so we've left Olympus old, and all its gods so great,
For a fine old English fairy tale, all of the olden time!
Opportunity is taken for the introduction of various nursery
reminiscences, such as the Seven Champions of Christen-
dom, Valentine and Orson, Jack the Giant Killer, Cinde-
rella, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss
in Boots, and his Spouse, the White Cat, inclusive. The
entertainment, indeed, may be said to have consisted of
rhyming dialogue, fairly-written parodies, a series of repre-
sentations of beautiful scenery, and that tasteful and elegant
costume in which the Olympic stage is superior to any oter.
We never witnessed anything more correct, more skilful in
stage grouping, or more rich in the effects of colour, than the
last scene.
London, England, 1836-12-27

made her astonishing ascent and descent on the tight rope,
the curtain fell and the pantomime was announced for repe-
tition amidst general applause.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

There were three new pieces brought out at Braham's
elegant little theatre last night, Bletchington House, The
Enchanted Horn, and the Parish Revolution. The first
piece is the production of a gentleman long and advanta-
geously known to the literary world ; and if Mr. Gaspey's
tragic burletta did not obtain last night, from a West End
audience that decided manifestation in its favour which it
perhaps partly deserved, the piece must still be allowed to
evince considerable power. It is bare justice to state that
the author complains that his burletta was injudiciously
compressed by the managers, and that the death of
the hero, ought to have been brought more fully be-
fore the audience. A Contemporary is of opinion that if
the piece were transplanted to Covent-Garden or Drury-
lane, "it would meet with a much warmer reception
than it experienced in a place where the presence of the
tragic muse is considered to be an intrusion." Miss Alison
performed the wife of the unfortunate officer, whose fate is
the chief incident in the piece, with a great deal of spirit,
and the other characters were creditably sustained'; but at
the fall of the curtain there was some disapprobation, and
although the calls for Harley to announce it for repetition
were loud and frequent, he did not persevere. The operatic
burletta called the Enchanted Horn was eminently successful.
This horn has the quality of conquering enemies by making
them dance and laugh at the will of the person who blows it,
and Harley, who, in the character of a squire, has possession of
it, as often as he sounds this magic horn the audience
are convulsed with laughter. The music is of the first order,
and we never heard Braham in better voice ; some bravura
passages were in his best and most powerful manner. Miss
Rainsforth and the Misses Smith exerted their fine powers
to the delight of a crowded and fashionable house. A
ballad (Oh! Araby) of Miss Smith's, sang in the sweetest,
simplest, and most touching style, was well executed by that
young lady, and deservedly encored. The last piece, The
Parish Revolution, was well received. The scenery in this,
as in the preceding pieces, was very beautiful.

ADELPHI.

On yesterday evening (according to ancient custom) the
holiday folks had at this theatre with the other entertain-
ments a pantomime. It bore the singular title of Cowardy
Cowardy Custard; or, Jo,: Crow Harlequin, and the Magic
Mustard Pot. In plot it was nearly the same as its nume-
rous and laughter provoking predecessors. Fair Colum-
bine's hand is sought by rival suitors, Sir Loin, the Baron
of Beef, and others rejoicing in the names of Pepper, Mus-
tard, and Custard ; Columbine is in the end of course mar-
ried to her favourite. Messrs. Brown, Sanders, King, and
Gibson, performed the Clowns with great activity. Their
feats were certainly novel and effective, and Miss Lane
enacted Columbine very successfully. Some of the trans-
formations were irresistibly ludicrous. Ridicule was hap-
pily brought to bear on some of our modern inventions.
The steam-gun and the large bonnets lately worn by the
fair sex, the homoeopathic system of medicine and Morri-
son's pills, were, along with the cow-cabbage, allotted a fair
share of pantomimic honour. Some of the scenery was
very beautifully executed. A moonlight view of the ram-
parts of Cruet Castle was exquisitely painted ; but public
admiration was called forth by the exhibition of a bird's-eye
view of the contemplated Richmond Railroad. We never
saw pictorial effect better displayed.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We extract the following from the Canton Papers re-
ceived this morning to the 29th June :
" It is reported that on the 18th of the Moon (Ist July)
a new Hong will be opened. The merchants name is Ho.
The two Imperial Envoys will leave Canton for Pekin
to-day."

(From the Price Current.)
COMMERCIAL REMARKS : COTTON—The demand for
good qualities still prevail, and several parcels of Bombay
staple have been sold during the week at thels, 12 5, and
second qualities at 12 per pecul. The deliveries are steady.
" Madras Cotton imported, 6661 bales ; Bengal, 142.

" COTTON PIECE GOODS—There has been lately an im-
proved demand for these manufactures, but without any
alteration in price ; with the exception of unbleached long
cloth, and blue Monteith handkerchiefs, which go off briskly
at a slight advance, the stock being small.
" COTTON YARN—Little demand.

" LONG ELLS—No improvement.
" OPIUM—The intelligence of the result of the sale in
Calcutta has induced holders to be more firm, and prices
of Patna have a tendency to improve a little, but the sellers
have been limited. No transactions in Benares have taken
place. Several sales have been made of Malwa at 590 to
595 dollars, and 600 per chest. The rejection of the drug
on account of its softness and inferiority still continues.
Deliveries to the 22d inst. :—Patna, old, 17 ; new 376 ;
Benares, old, 22 ; new 212: Malwa, old, 81 ; new 998.
Total, 1,6331 chests. Imported, per Water Witch, 701
chests.

" WOOLLENS—No improvement."
(From the Canton Papers.)
" The war with Cochin China languished, and no active
hostilities were goinc, forward. The two chief generals of
the Siamese, one of whom led an army to the frontiers of
Cochin China by the northern side, and the other by
Hankao, have both returned to the capital without gaining
many laurels, but have gathered a harvest of booty. The
share of one of them amounted to about 80 peculs of
ivory, 25 cuttees of gold, and 35 peculs of cardamum. It
had pleased his Siamese Majesty to get very angry with
two of his first-rate Mandarins—one of them the most
opulent, the other the Second Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs. They were both dragged out of the Royal presence,
by the hair of the head, loaded with irons, and bound round
the waist. Their crime is having this year allowed, though
incompliance with his Majesty's orders, too great an export
of rice to China."
" The commercial advices from Siam are not quite so fa-
vourable as at the dates of the previous accounts. Several
vessels and junks had arrived with large supplies of piece
goods and cotton twists, of which extensive sales had been
made, but at rather lower prices ; an improvement, how-
ever, was expected in the course of a month or two, after
the departure of the Sarah."
(From the Singapore Free Press.)
" The last accounts from Europe of the Tea Market are
dreadful. The losses on most of the Congous will be about
50 per cent. ; and you may easily imagine how this intelli-
gence affects some of the good folks here largely interested
in speculation on their own account."

SURREY.

The Christmas pantomime at this theatre is entitled—
Harlequin and Lady-bird's Bower; or, Cock-a-doodle-doo.
The plot does not require any explanation. After gentle-
men, representing plum-pudding hot and plum-pudding
cold, had exhibited themselves on the stage, the great hero
of the night made his appearance, larger than life—for he
was at least five feet high, and, measuring as birds are some-
times measured, from the tip of the tail to the beak, he
was at length seven feet long; and, notwithstanding his
great length, and great height, he conducted himself with
great decorum, and crowed in a way that all could under-
stand him— _ _ _

" Cock-a-doodle doo,
Dam• has lost her shoe ;
Master's lost his fiddle-stick,
And don't know what to do."

After paying his respects to the chief performers, who, with
the exception of Hodge Podge, were all of the Hum-strum
family, he majestically quitted the stage and gave place to
Harlequin (Mr. Honner), Columbine (Miss Stanley), Pan-
taloon (Mr. Asbury), and Clown (Mr. P. Herring), who
rivalled their great predecessor in delighting the audience,
and performing the functions usually allotted to those im-
portant characters at this season of the year. Pantaloon
and Clown were more staid and sober than usual. They
were not guilty of so many thefts as their predecessors, nor
so noisy ; but they nevertheless afforded great amusement,
and elicited loud applause. Some of the allusions were
appropriate. Vegetable Pills were followed with the Public
Cemetery, and the New Marriage Act with an exhibition
of five women encompassing one bachelor, who reluctantly
yielded, and promised to undergo the ceremony of mar-
riage. The entertainment concluded with a " Dioramic
Annual," in which were represented the Triumphal Arch
of l'Etoile, Paris, Melun, Auxerre, the Valley of Isere, and
the city of Grenoble. Some of these views were well exe-
cuted. The performances altogether were successful, and
the announcement of the repetition of the pantomime was
received with loud and general approbation. The house was
crowded to excess.

SADLER'S WELLS.

One of the best pantomimes we have ever seen at this
theatre was produced last night ; and it is called, Fe-Fo-
Fum ; or Harlequin Te-To-Tum. The transformations
were extremely amusing. Messrs. Gay, Fillingham, Jeffe-
rini, and Miss Rayner, as Harlequin, Pantoloon, Clown,
and Columbine, were admirable, and the whole perfor-
mance was received with the loudest applause. There
were two other pieces, a drama called the Ring of Death ;
or, The Buried Bride ; and the Sprig of Shillelagh. The
house was crowded.

HAMBURGH, DEC. 12.
ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of
JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that
time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in
directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not
to overlook these particulars.
HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH.
P. S. To persons having to remit 81., on receiving a Ten Pound
Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Policeman Postk C 102, was yesterday put to the bar,
before Mr. CHAMBERS, on the complaint of Brown, a pri-
vate watchman. Brown was on duty in Bond-street, about
one o'clock that morning, when he heard violent screams in
Lancaster-court. He went to the spot, and there found a
woman drunk, and the defendant, also drunk, and striking
her on the head. Complainant merely recommended the
defendant not to use so much violence, on which the de-
fendant turned upon him, and struck him repeatedly about
the face, cutting his lip, and bruising him severely. Some
policemen came to the place, and all parties went towards
towards the station-house. On the way the defendant con-
tinued to strike the complainant ; and when at the station-
house door the defendant collared him, dragged him
before the inspector, and made a charge against him. The
evident intoxication of the defendant induced the inspector
to discountenance the charge.
In defence, the policeman, pleaded that the coldness of
the night had induced him to take a glass too much. He
was sorry for his conduct, and hoped for forgiveness.
Mr. Chambers inflicted the fine of 20s. or 21 days' im-
prisonment.
SNOW-BALLING.—Several young men were brought to
this office for indulging in the dangerous and illegal prac-
tice of throwing snowballs in the public streets at each
other, and at persons walking in the streets. The magis-
trates expressed their determination of punishing all parties
convicted of this nuisance by making them find bail for their
future good behaviour.

No. I. of a NEW SERIES of the

CONGREGATIONAL MAGAZINE.
In announcing a New Series of this Miscellany, it is not in-
tended to alter its principles or design.
The Congregational Magazine it win remain—unalterably pledged
to advocate the opinions and to promote the interests of the Inde-
pendent Churches of the United Kingdom.
For nineteen years its pages have been enriched with papers
written by most of the leading ministers of the Congregational De-
nomination ; and the Editor is happy to state that at no previous
period of its history has its support or influence been equal to that
which it at present enjoys.
The New Series has been projected, mainly because many of the
preceding volumes are out of print, and not a few persons decline
to subscribe for a work which they cannot have from its commence-
ment. While the wishes of such individuals are consulted by com-
mencing another Series, it is intended at the same to improve the
general appearance of the Magazine, and to adapt its typography
and illustrations to the advanced taste of the religious public.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.

THE Q UEEN'S.

The managers of this theatre have been bold enough to
depart from ancient Christmas usage, and have ventured to
present to their visitors a three-act melodrama, in the place
of the usual gambols of a harlequinade. The change is
not entirely in accordance with our taste ; but we trust,
nevertheless, that it may prove successful. Success will
always follow the exertions of a spirited manager, who zea-
lously endeavours to please, and if those exertions should
sometimes partially fail, applause will still be bestowed, by
way of encouragement for the future and reward for the
past. Of such a nature, we apprehend, was the applause
which a new melo-drama, entitled The Guardian Spirit, re-
ceived here last night ; for in sooth it contained little in it-
self which could recommend it to public favour. Miss E.
Clifford, Mr. S. Johnson, and Mr. T. Green, made the
most of the characters assigned to them, and the acting
throughout was highly creditable. A new interlude was
likewise produced, the title of which—The Musical Bore
—is sufficient to indicate the materials of which it is com-
posed. They are slight, and for the greater part not ori-
ginal ; but the audience laughed, and the piece succeeded.

SONNET.—By a Parisian Lady, on her Entree
in London. _
Translated from the French, and inscribed to Mr. Warren.
I've seen the dew-drop fall from high,
I've seen its influence on the flower;
I've ponder'd o'er its brilliancy,
And love its all-resplendent power;
And oft I've seen Golconda's gem
Glitter upon the diadem :
But ne'er saw I that beauteous bloom
That on my bright shoes here is set,
Nor thought I they could e'er assume
Such a refulgent glossy jet !
For Warren's Blacking there displays
Beauty on which I ne'er had thought to gaze.
Then, Warren, take the praise of one
Whose best of wishes thou hast won.

consequences of their actions, they blindly and stupidly
mark their route only to follow it without deviation or
inquiry. Once in the old track, and their business
with the past is ended. They grope their way through
the mire content to reflect that their fathers were as
deep in the mud as themselves.

We have received the Report of the proceedings of
the Central Independent Club of the Citizens of Dub-
lin, an Association established for the purposes of pro-
curing a Reform in the Municipal Corporation of
Dublin, and for promoting the interests of the Liberal
cause, by a vigilant attention to the Parliamentary
Registration. In the first of these important objects,
we need not inforth our readers, the Independent Club
has not been successful. Their exertions in this field,
as well as those of the great mass of the people, have
been rendered of no avail by the mixed obstinacy, folly,
and wickedness of another Club, the members of which
hold themselves absolved from all responsibility to
any human tribunal for their actions.
It is gratifying to find, however, that the efforts of
the citizens of Dublin, who have enrolled themselves
in this excellent Society, have been attended with con-
siderable success in the Registration Court, although
even here they are met by the baneful influence of the
corrupt Corporation. The ad libitum creation of
Honorary Freemen, is one of the privileges of this
body, and they have exercised it in such a style
as to render the Reform Act little better than
a dead letter. As a sample of the meek and
modest manner in which the Municipal Dignitaries
who sway the destinies of the Irish Capital bear their
blushing honours, we subjoin a statement of the elec-
tors registered during the past year, from which it ap-
pears that they have manufactured no fewer than 265
faggot votes, while in the franchises arising from
property, the liberals ha.ve a majority of 375.

into our decaying institutions, are much indebted
to them.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW.
W. Calton, plumber, Southwark

On Thursday night a ball was given at the Lowther-
rooms, in King William-street, Strand, by a party of ladies
and gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion. Several ladies
proceeded to the rooms in the hackney-coach No. 1,824,
taking with them in a brown paper parcel, diamonds and
other jewellery to the value of nearly 2,0001. In their hurry
the whole of the party forgot the parcel until nearly half
an hour afterwards. Not one of the ladies knew the coach-
man, the number of the coach, or even the colour of it, and
their consternation at their loss was, as may be well imagined,
extreme. The coachman, on returning to his stand in Tra-
falgar-square, opened his vehicle, and discovered the pre-
cious parcel. On ascertaining the very valuable nature of
its contents, he immediately proceeded to the house from
whence he had conveyed the ladies, and to their great gra-
tification returned the property. We have not heard the
amount of the reward which the coachman received for his
honesty.

HATTON-GARDEN.

James Macpherson, an elderly respectable-looking man,
was charged by Mr. Rowe, lace-manufacturer, of Lower-
road, Islington, with having stolen a valuable gold watch,
and a quantity of jewellery.
The prisoner on Tuesday last was in his (prosecutor's)
house, and dined with the family, and on leaving the place
the watch and other property were missed. The watch
was, eventually, traced to have been pledged by the pri-
soner, and he was given into custody. On searching him,
several bankers' checks and a bill of exchange were found in
his possession.
A pawnbroker produced the watch, and identified the
prisoner.
The prisoner could not account for his possession of the
bankers' checks, and Mr. Laing directed the officer to
make inquiries at the bankers', to ascertain whether the
prisoner was known there, and he was remanded in order
to trace, if possible, the other property.
I Villiam Webb was finally examined, charged by James
Green with having stolen 321. After hearing evidence,
Mr. Laing discharged the prisoner.
