____ _ ST. MART LE POOR.—MISDESORIPTION OF

--kr. Brown, the Conservative agent, objected to the
vote of Samuel Mollett Paynter, whose name appeared
in the list of voters in this parish as occupying a
countinghouse situated in Austin-friars-passage, on-
the ground that there was no such person as Samuel
Mollett Paynter in existence. The name ought,

therefore, to be expunged.
Mr. Smith, the Liberal agent, who supported the
vote, explained that the voter's name was " John
Mollett," and not " Samuel Mollett Punter." The
latter name had been published in the list, an,l was
entirely a misdescription on the part ef the overseers
in making out the list. In one of the rates the error
was corrected, and the right name, John Mollett,
entered on the rate-book. He had, therefore, to
contend that the mistake of the overseers could not

vitiate the voter's right, and that the misdescription in
the list was one which the revising barrister was
empowered to correct by the procitions of the 75th
section of the Registration Act. The Learned Gen-
tleman then cited the case of " Cook v. Luckett," de-
cided in the Court of Common Pleas, in support of his
argument. _ _

The BARRISTER said that John Mollett was objected
to on the ground that he was not rated in respect of
the premises specified in the rate-book. In the first
rate made for the parish, in the column for the name
of the occupier stands the name of " Samuel Mollett
Paynter." Then in the owners' column stands
" Samuel Paynter." In the next rate the name
stands " Samuel Mollett Paynter," also in the occu-
piers' column; and in the owners' column "Samuel
Painter" also appears; but a line is drawn through
" Samuel" and "Paynter" in the occupiers' column,
"John" is placed over the Samuel" as an interline-
ation, and "Mollett" is left standing. The question
then that arises i., whether that is a sufficient rating
for the premises inserted opposite the names. The
Court of Common Pleas has repeatedly decided that
the Act of Parliament is clearly in favour of going &
great way to prevent any misnomer or inaccurate or
insufficient description from vitiating the right to
vote. Besides, if you look carefully at the rating
throughout the whole of these rate-hooks, I think you
will not find on the average more than ten -persons in t,
any parish strictly and accurately rated. I roust bay that _
I never yet saw books kept in so careless and imperfect a
manner as is the casts with the rate-books in this city ;
and I cannot understand how so slovenly a system has
been allowed to continue so long. But, returning to
the case before us, if I could have seen that it was
ever intended by the overseers to hare rated "John
Mollett " to this rate, I should have certainly held
that he was rated. On the first rate I find Samuel
Mollett Paynter and Samuel Paynter; and if there
had been twoPaynters here I should have been obliged
to hold that they were both rated. But I cannot
consider that this is a misnomer or inaccurate or in-
sufficient description which the Act justifies the cor-
rection of. In the case of " Cooke v. Luekett," it was
shown that the party was intended to be rated, by
his right name being inserted in the rate book ; hut
I cannot understand here that the man John .Mollett
was ever intended to be rated. The objection to the
vote is therefore sustained.—Vote disallowed.

No other case worthy of notic3 -occurred in this
ward ; and its rcvision was completed with the fol-
lowing result :
Liberal claims allowed

Ditto objections sustained
Conservative claims disallowed
Ditto objections sustained
_ _

Ditto ditto failed or withdrawn 30
Double objections sustained
The lists for the ward of Castle Baynard were
next revised. The business was merely formal, and
the following is the result :
Liberal claims allowed
Ditto ditto disallowed
Ditto objections sustained .. 36
Ditto ditte tailed or withdrawn... 5
Conservative objections sustained .... 69
Ditto di' to tailed or withdrawn.... 19
Double objections sustained
Ditto ditto tailed

Expunged by the barrister
Mr. Richard Heald, one of the overseers of the
parish of St. Mary Magdalen, was fined 31. by the
barrister for neglecting to publish the list of Conser-
vative objections served upon him in his official capa-
city, according to the statute.
The revision of the lists for the wards of Cheap,
Cordwainer, and Dowgate was proceeding when
the court adjourned at the usual hour till Monv
day next.

Mr. Edward Marshall, who has served upwards of
fifty-one years in the War-office, nineteen whereof as
chief examiner of army accounts, has received upon his
recant retirement a most gratifying proof of the regard
and respect in which he is generally held, in the shape
of an elegant epergne candelabrum presented to him by
the gentlemen of his office.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE OLD
WORLD AND THE NEw."—One of our contemporaries
(the Messenger) predicts for this new work a longer de-
gree of popularity than any other of Mrs. Trollope's
publications has attained. It will certainly create more
conflicting opinions than any of her recent productions,
as it re-opens the questiun of American interests, man-
ners, &c. In this new work the scenes in the Old World
are few compared with those on the banks of the Ohio,
in the vicinity of the celebrated city of Cincinnati, and
the author has certainly shown no wish to conciliate this
portion of the inhabitants of America, or to obtain their
forgiveness fur the severity of her former animadversions.
The work will, however, be as much welcomed for its
sprightliness of diction as for the light it throws on the
character of the American people.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WESTMINSTER-ROAD.
—Last evening (Friday), shortly before seven o'clock,
an accident of a most fearful character, by which three
persons (if not more) were seriously, and it is believed
fatally, injured, happened in the Westminster-road,
Lambeth. It appears, from inquiries instituted on the
spot, that at the time above stated a thoroughbred horse
was drawing a chaise over Westminster-bridge, in which
were Mr. Charles Newman, formerly of the Old King
John, Holy well-lane, Shorcditcb, and Mr. Johnson, the
cigar merchant, of the Blackfriars-road. Upon gaining
the brow of the hill on the bridge, the horse, from some
cause, not at present clearly ascertained, started off at a
furious rate, and galloped down the road at the rate of
twenty miles an hour. When opposite Astley's Theatre,
two persons, a man and his wife, were knocked down,
but fortunately the only injuries received were a few
slight bruises. The animal still continuing, in spite
of every exertion to pull it up, to dash along
the road, threw Mr. Johnson out, who, pitch-
ing upon his back, dislocated his shoulder, and
received other serious injuries. Mr. Newman kept
his seat until near the Marsh-gate, when ho
either attempted to jump or was thrown out of the
vehicle. Unfortunately, either his coat was caught by
the wheel or his feet became entangled in the straps
attached to the dashing board, for the poor fellow was
seen to be carried round^ the wheel several times, his
head all the while dashing against the ground with fear-
ful violence until the blood gushed forth in copious
streams. At length the unfortunate man became re-
leavd, and falling on the road the wheel of the vehicle
passed over his head. He was immediately pick d up
and carried to the surgery of Mr. Beck, in the West-
minster-road; the horse, unrestrained, continued to dash
along, knocking down every person who chanced to be
in the way. Amongst the number was Dawson Lucas,
an old police•officer of the L division. Upon gaining
the obelisk, at the end of the Blackfrisrs-road, the horse
fortunately fell, or the loss of life must have been fearful
had ho proceeded as far as the Elephant and Castle.
Under the direction of Mr. Rutt, the superintendent of
police, Mr. Newman was removed from Mr. Beck's stir.
gery to Westminster Hospital, but there is little hopes
of his recovery. At present it would be impossible to
tell whether any other persons were injured.
EFFECTUAL CURE FOR A THlEF.—Governor Win.
thropp, in private life, was frugal and temperate, hospit-
able, and exceedingly generous to the poor. One hard
winter complaint was made to him that a person fre-
quently stole wood from his pile. "Does he?" said
Winthropp; "send him to me, and I will take a
with him that will cure him of stealing." The
geared, trembling under tie terrors of the law.
"IrieD," raid the Governor, "it is a cold winter, and I
doubt you are but poorly provided with wood. You are
welenme to supply yourself at my pile until the winter
is over."

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—As there is reason to be-
lieve, that many persons in this country adopt the prac-
tice -'of addressing to the care of parties at Panama,
letters intended for Chili, Peru, and other parts of the
western coast of South merica, the Postmaster-General
thinks it right to point out that such a course is un-
necessary, and that it may in some cases occasion delay
to the correspondence so addressed. Letters for Chili,
Peru, &c , are liable to postage at the rate of 2s. the
half-ounce, and so on, and provided this postage be paid
in advance, the letters will be forwarded by the British
mail patkots in the Pacific, without any detention et
Panama.
Ilarvest operations have been further retarded in
the north of England by the occasional showers of tho
past wetk which has great7y interfered with the labours
of tho reapers; and a large quantity of corn already cut,
bat not yet fit for the stack, remains to be carried. In
Ireland, on the contrary, the weather has been fine
throughout the week, and great progress has been made
in securing iiithe portion of the harvest outstanding in
late distriets.—Liverpool Standard.
