The lily harvest is generally commenced in this
county, and the crops, although light in many eituations, may
be considered, as farmers say, a fair average produce. Grain
of all kinds looks remarkably well, and most places promite
Aundant crops. In the Fylde country, and in the southern
divi,ion of the county, the wheat-fields present a
rich and
luxuriant appearance. In the vicinity of Ormskirk and North
Aleols some of the finest wheats ever witnessed are to be seen.
Apples arc likely to be more than usually plentiful

COUNTIES.
SUGGESTIONS FOR REGISTRATION ASSOCIA-

TIONS IN COUNTIES.
The object of such Associations is, first, to effect the most
complete registration that is practicable of all persons in the
Liberal interest, qualified by law, to vote at elections of Mem-
bers of Parliament for Counties; secondly, to protect the
Liberal cause from any illegal registration by the Tories.
To effect these important ends on precisely the same plan in
all Counties, may, from various local circumstances, be diffi-
cult ; but, wherever it can be accomplished, a uniform system
is extremely desirable. For this purpose, it is recommended
that Central, District, and Local Committees should be
formed.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
In all Counties, or Divisions of Counties, a Central Com-
mittee should be formed, with which all District Committees
should act in unison.

The place of meeting of such Central Committee should be
the County Town (where there is one in the Division), or the
City or Town of the largest powalation.
Every Central Committee ..should have a Chairman, a De-
puty Chairman, a Seeretarg, and a Treasurer.
DUTIES OF CEN'FRAL COMMITTEE.
The duties of each Central Committee will bc-
-Ist. Generally to superintend the entire registration of the
County or Division,

2nd. To insure the formation of a District Committee at
the most conveuient place in each polling district.
3rd. To frirnisli each District Committee with all legal
forms for claims or objections in respect of votes.
4th. To circulate in each district, manuals and other infor
!nation useful to Electors.

sth. To make adequate preparation in the week imme
diately following the first Sunday in September, for the ap-
proaching revision of votes by the Barristers throughout the
whole County or Division.
An Annual Mef.itinfr, of the Central Committee and a De-
putation from eriich of the District Committees should take
place early in ene month of June ; and such Annual Meeting
should he hfdd in the most convenient locality. At suchr Meetings the necessary arrangements for the Annual registra-
tion of tb% Counties may be considered, and planned.
A skeleton map of each County or Division
should be printed
or lithographed by each Central Committee; distinguishing
the names and divisions of the parishes ; affixing- to each parish
a number corresponding with the schedule on the margin of
the map ; and leaving columns for the entry of their respec-
tive number of voters.

DISTRICT COMMiTTEES.
In each polling district a District Committee should be
formed, which should have a Chairman, a Deputy Chairman;
a Secretary, and a Treasurer. Each District Committee should
form its own fund, restricted to its local objects.
DUTIES OF DISTRICT COMMITTEES.
The duties of the District Committees are_.
Ist. Generally to superintend the registration in their severa,
polling districts.
2d. To ensure throughout the whole of their Listrict the for-
mation of such Local Committees for one or more parishes,
as may be found convenient.
3,
. To fu
ornish
ction .to each Local Corr.intittee legal forms of claim
and bje
4th. To circulate in each District useful manuals for electors.
sth. To promote and enf°'ce, by every means in their power
Meetings of each L;ocal Committee at the proper times,
and for the purno-
.,es hereinafter mentid. 6th. To communiv.ie to the Central Committee all the infor-
mation neerAsary to a careful revision of the Voters.
LOCAL COMMITTEES.
The Dut;.es of the Local Committees are
Ist. To j'avestigate without delay the register of the past •year,
so far as it applies to their own parish or parishes ; to
consider the qualifications of those already registered; and
to collect the names, qualifications, and residences of qua-
lifled persons not registered.
2nd. To meet in the first week of July, for the purpose of
giving notice to all qualified persons r
th the parish not
registered, of the period required by law for sending in
claims ; and for the purpose of nsuring that such claims
are sent in, on their behalf. 'before the 20th of July.
rd. To meet in the first wer.:K 'of August, for the purpose of
carefully going th7otrrh the ne lists made by the Over-
seers, and of ht -.:
--..ecting to persons inserted therein, who
are not en.iticd to be voters; also for the purpose of
ascertain inp; whether any persons who have made claims,
O w
h"-I,';ere in the last register, are omitted from the list.
4thr . ":co take care that proper notices of objection are pre-
pared end duly served, on or before the 25th day of August.
5". h. To meet immediately after the first Sunday in Septem-
ber, for the purpose of ascertaining the means of defending the
totes of persons to whom objdetions have been taken ; and to
-report to the District Committee upon all claims and objec-
tions which are to be hoard before the Revising Barristers.
N.8.--Where Local Committees are not formed, the Dis-
trict CQ;lnTlittees must p'rform the duties assigned to the
Local Committees.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
•
In eountie:7, or divisions of counties, containing two chief
oWns, it may be desirable to have two Central Committees, one
1 teach surrounding division.

Each Central Co-mmittee should procure a copy of the last
'15°114-and an interleaved copy of the register, in which all the
retutas of the District Committees should be entered. Each
Distract and Local Committee should be furnished by the
Central Committee with two interleaved copies of their part of
theyogister,each voter's last poll being marked on the margin
of one coy Each District Committee should also be sup-
plied with a map.;

Each Committee should enter, on the interleaved copies of
their district register, notes of all information as to the death
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 registere,l,
so far as they have been able to ascertain them.
The printed 'lists of personS qualified to act as jurymen
will give.great assistance in ascertaining who are qualified to
be on the list of voters. These lists mai be generally had in
cacb parish.

PROVISIQNI, IN GUERNSEY.

ProviJins at Guernsey and Jersey, it is said, arc dearer
naA than here, although these places have long been remark-
able for low prices. —Sim, London paper.
It appears, from- our Channel Islands' correspondent, that
the markets in Guernsey and Jersey have of late somewhat
abated of their . character for cheapness, as compared with
the prices of the same articles in our markets here. They
complain of the advanced price of shell-fish, particularly in
Guernsey, and of hortieultnral produce generally in Jersey.
as well as of meat and ash. Assuredly the prices quoted
are higher than these demanded at this side of the wr.,,er,
—thus reversing the usual order of things ; as th.;, cheapness
of provisiont has always been held out fig chief induce-
ment tor the emigration of families to these islands.—Sher-
borne Journal. '

Paragraphs to this effect are just now running the round
of the English papers, and as they have a tendency to in-
jure the reputation of these islands as watering-places, by de-
terring families in quest of a summer residence to pay them
a visit, it may not be improper to devote a little of our
space to a short notice of the prices of these articha re-
specting which persons intending to visit Guernsey would
naturallyibc led to inquire.
We begin with house rent. Houses, containing from
eight to ten rooms, in pleasant and respectable situations,
with garden and green-house, may be obtained for from
401. to 501. per annum ; and smaller ones, containing from
four to six apartments, with a garden, from 151. to 251.
To these sums there are no house-rates whatever to be
added, as none are levied upon houses as such. If horses
and a carriage are kept, another advantage accrues
in the absence of all taxes on horse, carriage, or groom,
and also in 'that of toll gates—which are unknown
here, the excellent carriage roads which intersect the
island in every direction, down to cur most romantic bays,
being all kept in repair at the expense of the States.
The Market is at all tie bs well supplied with the best of
meat. The prices of beef and mutton nominally average
those of the London Markets. We say nominally, for the
Guernseyjb. being equal to eighteen ounces avoirdupois,
exceeds the English lb. by an eighth ; and to this excess in
weight must be added a difference, varying according to
the exchange, of from 12d. to 15d. in the pound sterling.
British money commanding a premium of from 5 to 6 per
cent. over local curreney.
The difference in price caused by the weight and cur-
rency may be illustrated thus t

In London 181 h.-Of -beef at Bd, per lb. will give 12s.
British, or 12s. 9d. Guernsey currency.
In Guernsey the same quantity- of beef may be had by
asking for 161 b., which at Bd. per lb. will give 105..8d. cur-
rency, making a wing of rather better than one-sixth.
Last Saturday the prices of beef were from bid. to Bd.
per lb.—and of the best pieces of mutton from 7d. to 71d.
per lb. Lamb and veal are very long in season, and seldom
reach above 7d. per lb. Pork is in season from September
to April or May, and is often sold at 4d. and sd. per lb.
The coast of Guernsey abounds with a groat variety of
fish ; and the fishing grounds extending to considerab!c
distances, the market is generally abundantly supplied.
Most of the fish known in England and Franee are to be
found here, though the smelt, cod, and a few others, are
seen, but at irregular periods. The market for some weeks
past has been fully supplied with whiting, conger, mackerel,
bream., dorey, red and white mullet, grey and red gurnet,
bast, brill, soles, plaice, ray, and turbot—together with the
large crab, spider, cray fish, and lobster, though of the last
mentioned there has been, relatively speaking, but a very
small quantity, owing to its being exported for France.
Without enumerating all the prices, it may be said that
whiting were from Id. to 16d. each, the largest being full
two feet in length ; mackerel, of a very large size, and fresh
from the water, from 2d. to 4d. per couple ; plaice and, sole
4d. to 6d. per pair; conger id. to ld. per lb. ; bream 2d.
each ; grey and red gurnet Id. to 2d. each ; ray 2d. to 6d.
each ; turbot 6d. per lb.
All these fish are exposed for sale within a few hours of
their capture, so that many of them are often brought to
market alive—the shell-fish rarely otherwise ; and as the
Fish-market is one of the best in Europe, very lofty, and
perfectly well ventilated, the fish seldom deteriorates before
sales are effected. Besides these, fine oysters may be had
at 10d. per hundred from the 31st of September to the 31st
of April.

Poultry may in general be bad at very reasonable prices.
Chickens 2s. per couple ; fowls 2s. 6d. do. ; ducks 2s. 6d.
ditto ; good fat geese, in their season, 2s. each ; and fine
turkeys at from 4s. to 6s. each. ruit is exceedingly
abur.aant, and, especially the best qualities, much cheaper
than in England. Strawberries; at present, 2d. per lb. ;
cherries 3d. to 6d. per lb. ; gooseberries 3d. and 4d. per
quart ; currants 3d. per lb. ; raspberries about 4d. per pint ;
figs, in autumn, 3d. to 4d. per dozen for the finest ; hot-
house grapes, ls. 3d. per lb., and other fruits proportionally
low. This island is deservedly celebrated for its ichaumontel
pears, which here arrive at a size and flavour unknown to
England, whinier many thousands of them are annually sent.
The prices of bread vary from Id. to lid. per lb. ac-
cording to the quality ; new potatoes 6d. to 7d. per denerel,
which is equal to a Winchester gallon ; green peas, shelled,
ad. per quart ; butter, not to be excelled in any part of
the world, Is. per lb., and French ditto, Bd. per lb. ; eggs,
Bd. per dozen, and French ditto, 3d. per dozen.
But let us come to some of those articles in the prices
of which the advantages- of this place are most apparent.
The finest gunpowder tea may be had here at 6s. per lb.,
good hYson at ss. per lb., and a very excellent family article
in mixed tea at 3s. per lb. The best coffee, ground, Is. 4d.
per lb. mimed loaf sugar from 611 to 7d. per lb., which is
thought a high price, and Havannah and other moist sugars
sd. per lb. The finest muscatel raisins Bd. per lb., and
currants 6d. per lb. Old Cognac Brandy 75., other
brandies 3s. 4d. per gallon, rum 3s. 4d., and real hollands
3s. 4d. per gallon. Good real port wine from 16s. upwards
per dozen ; Madeira 15s. per doz. ; sherry from 10s. to
V,s. per dozen, and very superior ditto from 18s. to 28s.
per dozen ; clarets from 12s. to 60s. per dozen.
There is another article which, though small in itself,
forms no unimportant item in the expenditure of gentlemen
in the present day-we mean tobacco. The prices per lb.
are :-best Turkey 45., cannaster 2s. 6d., returns ls. Gd.,
common rag 10d, Best real Havannah cigars 10s. per
hundred ; Cubas Bs., and Dutch 2s. 6d. Snuffs also pro-
portionably r?aeap ; real Bolangaro 4s. per lb., real Stras-
burg 45., Princessa 25., Welch 35., and Rappee Is. 2d.
To all these advantages it may be added that educa-
tion in every department is equally good, and considerably
cheaper here than in many parts of England. At our
magnificent College a course of education, commencing
in, the Lower School with the rudiments of Grammar,
and advancing to the highest Classics studied in English
public schools, including Geography, Commercial
Arithmetic, and the French language, so as •to fit
the students either for the learned professions or active life,
may be obtained at the cheap rate of 61. per annum in the
Lower School, and 121. per annum in the College.
We now take leave of the subject, satisfied that if the
advantages we have stated are not sufficient to recommend
this highly favoured spot, inducements of a character which
WQ tan form no conception of must be required for thct
Purpose. We trust in closing we may indulge the lior.e
that such newspaper editors as may have given publicity. to
paragraphs similir to those we have placed at the head of
these remarks will at least correct the Impression they may,
through want of adequate information, have been instru-
mental in producing.-Guernsey Star.

NEW DISCOVERY.—Wc have seen this week, at
Leeds, a specimen of bleached flax, prepared by a York che-
mist, which appears to present a decided improvement in the
manufacture of that article. It has created a great sensation
among the manufacturers, and has been taken for silk. It is
capable of being manufactured into the fineat thread, for veils,
lace, cambric, &c., and which will supersede those articles of
French manufacture. The te4ture is most beautiful,—pon-
