Stn,—Many of your readers may, perhaps, remember the
extraordinary debate in the House of Commons, when Sir
R. Vyvyan charged Lord John Russell with packing the
Bristol Magistrates. The Tories here have just had a
meeting of the Town Council, and passed a resolution, call-
ing upon his Lordship for an explanation of his conduct.
In addition to which they have passed another resolution,
giving Sir R. Vyvyan a vote of thanks. An amendment
was moved to support this vote of thanks, provided the fol-
lowing addition was added to the resolution :—" For having
made himself appear such a fool in the House of Com-
mons." The Liberals finding they had no chance of con-
vincing the Tories they were playing a desperate game, one.
and all left the Council to publish to the world their own
folly. The citizens intend calling a public meeting, and
will convince this Town Council that the resolutions they
have passed are not the sentiments of the citizens.
ONE OF THE CI'IZENS.

ALIEN REGISTRATION.-By Lord John Russell's Bill, the
Act 7 Geo. IV. c. 54, is repealed. Masters of vessels arriv-
ing from foreign port► are required, under a penalty in default,
to declare what aliens are on .board, or have landed. There is
an exception in favour of foreign mariners. The declaration
is to be registered by an officer of the Customs, who is to de-
liver a certificate to the alien without fee. The declaration is
to be transmitted from the Customs to the Secretary of State,
as is also the certificate of an alien departing the realm. The
proposed measure has the usual penalty clauses. It does not
contemplate foreign ministers or their servants, nor aliens who
have been resident three years, and have obtained a certifi-
cate of the fact, nor does it extend to any alien under fourteen
years of age.
The time whop the Act is proposed to come into effect re-
mains undetermined.

BISHOPRIC OF DURHAM.— By the " Bill for the more per-
fectly uniting to the Crown the County Palatine of Durham,
and for the better Regulation of the Revenues belonging to
the Bishopric thereof," any three of the Commissioners of the
Treasury, until a Commission be appointed, can issue their
warrants for the payment of compensation to those persons who
are deemed to have a freehold in their offices in Durham, for
the abolition of such offices.
The 30th Clause reserves to the Bishopric all profits not
expressly mentioned as severed. By the 31st, the Bishop is
to take and hold, subject to future provisions. And the Bishop
for the time being, by Clause 32, is required to render an ac-
count and pay over the balance in such manner as Parliament
may command.
