capital, to Amahenbens, amidst the loudest acclama-

REGISTRATION.-MIDDLESEX.
(THIS DAY.)

The Barristers were occupied to-day in rcvislng the
remainder of the City Parochial Lists.
(Before Mr. COVENTRY.)
The case of Sir William Richardson, who was ob-
jected to at Enfield by the Reformers, and which stood
over in order that inquiry might be made as to whether
any part of the manor of Chipping-Barnet, in right of
which he claimed to vote, was within the county of
Middlesex, was mentioned this morning by Mr. Adey,
who stated that Sir William called upon him yesterday,
and expressed his surprise at such an objection being
made or entertained, as he attended two or three years
ago upon the same objection, and satisfied the Court his
qualification was good.
Mr. Coppock replied that he had never taken the
objection before, that the manor was not in the county
of Middlesex. He had written to Mr. George, a re-
spectable :solicitor at Chipping-Barnet, and well ac-
quainted with the manor, for information. That gen-
tleman in his answer stated that no part of the manor
was in the county of Middlesex, and that although the
Manor Court was held at " the Green Man," Barnet,
" the Green Man" was not within the manor.

Mr. Adey was surprised at such a statcment. The
Court must be held within the Manor.

Mr. Coppock said it was absurd to suppose a Hert-
fordshire Manor could run into Middlesex. He would
venture to say the Court never heard of a Manor
running into two counties.
Mr. COVENTRY could not say that he recolle3ted
such a case. He would, however, look into the His-
tory of Hertfordshire, and mention the case on a
future day.
Mr. Coppock said there was another objection to Si,
William's claim, on the ground of change of residence.
Mr. COVENTRY theught that had been given up.

Mr. Coppock would certainly much rather stand upon
tee true merits of the case ; but it had been stated by
the other side at Enfield, that Sir William Richardson
had a room in Harley-street, although the man who
served the notice of objection swore he had changed
his residence. Now, he felt as desirous of supporting
the veracity of his servers, poor and humble as they
might be, as he would that of the richest man in Eng-
land ; and he would not allow them to be bullied end
put down by the assertions of any person. At Maryle-
bone he would have the parish books produced, and
then it would be seen who was rated for the house in
Harley-street.
In the course of the day, a question having arisen as
to the validity of the service of a notice of objection,
Mr. COVENTRY said next year he would hold that
service on one tenant was sufficient.

Mr. Coppock and Mr. Adey said that such a decision
would afford great satisfaction to all parties, and would
prevent a great deal of fraud.
(Before Mr. SIIADWELL.)
No claim or objection involving any point of interest
was made before this Barrister.

THURSDAY.
(Before Mr. SHADWELL.)

At the sitting of the Court this morning—
Mr. Coppock begged the Barrister to inform him in
what way the name of Mr. Cox stood upon his List.
Mr. SHADWELL-It stands, Wm. Cox, freehold
land, 53, Clarendon-square, Somers-town.
Mr. Coppock would then call the attention of the
Court to the circumstances under which the residence
of the voter bad been altered on the List. It ori-
ginally stood, 53, Clarendon-street, and at that place
they had served their notice of objection, which they
proved yesterday. Upon that occasion Mr. Payne
produced a letter purporting to be signed by the
voter, and stating that he resided in 53, Claren-
don-square, and upon such representation the alte-
ration was made. Unfortunately that had not
been the first time during the present revision
that gross frauds had been committed by means of
these letters, and therefore they had caused an investi-
gation to be made into this case, of which they had
much doubt. Although Mr. Payne had positively
stated that the voter never had lived at 53, Clarendon-
street, upon inquiry it turned out that that was false—
that he had resided there till within these twelve months,
and that a lady now resided in that house as his tenant,
and that he had never resided in the square at all.
These factshe was prepared to prove by three witnesses,
and upon oath. He (Mr. C.) had before called upon
the Barrister not to admit these concocted letters, as
he was prepared to prove they were, unless upon bet-
ter evidence than that of parties representing the other
side, but he bad been unsuccessful. Now he would
call upon the Court to look with suspicion upon all
such letters, unless supported by better evidence than
bad hitherto been offered.
Mr. Turner' said• such allegations were exceedingly
unfair. He would call a witness who would be able to
prove that the letter was signed by Mr. Cox, by an in-
dividual who Mr. Coppock admitted to be respectable.
Mr. Coppock would not deny that, but that he signed
it with a knowledge of its contents, he would not be-
lieve upon the present evidence.
After a violent personal discussion between the parties,
Mr. SHADWELL said he deprecated all such discus-
sions. He would not re-open any one case where the
objection had been taken and fairly disposed of.
ST. ANN'S, BLACKFRIAAS.

Mr. Coppock objected to the claim of Mr. John
Walter on the ground that the coach-house and stables
claimed for were in that gentleman's own occupa-
tion, but upon a letter being exhibited from Mr. De
Lane, stating that he rented the premises from Mr.
Walter at five pounds a year, and that Mr. Walter
only used them to put his carriage in when he came up
to town, the claim was allowed.
The lists for the parishes of Allhallows, Staining ;
Allhallows, Lombard-street ; Allhallows on the Wall ;
St. Atholin ; St. Andrew, Holborn ; St. Augustine ;
Allhallows, Honey-lane ; St. Andrew's under Shaft ;
were gone through,but nothing of any interest took place.

REGISTRATION.

HERTFORD BOROUGH, OCT. 15.

ARNOLD WALLINGER and HssRY SUGDEN, Esqs.,
this morning revised the lists of voters for this borough.
The only cases of importance were five officers of '
Christ's Hospital, who had twelve months since claimed
to be rated in respect of the houses which they occupy
by virtue of the several situations they hold under the
Governors of the Charity. Their names had been in
the rate accordingly, and were consequently added to
the voters' list by the overseers, and were objected to
by the Reformers.
Mr. George Ludlow, the reading and writing-master,
swore that he occupied a house as master of the school,
and had done so for fifteen years past, had paid
the rates for the last year only, and that
the house was worth thirty pounds per annum.
and he held it as part of his salary. Upon his cross-
examination, by Mr. Spence, he admitted that the
house had an internal communication with the school-
room, and that if he was dismissed his situation, he
should surrender up the house immediately to his suc-

cessor.
He was then asked if the steward bad repaid him the
amount of the rates which for the last :-ear he had
paid. Upon which he appealed to the Court whether
he was bound to answer that question. The Revising
Barristers told him that if he did not answer it, the
Court would draw their own inference from his silence.
He then very reluctantly said he had been repaid by
the Receiver out of the hospital fund.
Mr. Sworder on the part of the Tories, insisted that
the occupation was in the character of tenant, and cited
the case of one of the officers of the British Museum,
hose vote had been allowed in Finsbury in 1833.
Mr. Spence cited the cases decided in 1835, of Sir
William Beatty, in Greenwich Hospital, and Mr. J.
Knowles, resident Director of the Economic Life As-
surance Office, and of a clerk in a brewery at Reading,
who occupied a house in connexion with his situation,
the rent of which was deducted from his salary, ali of
which had been disallowed.
Mr. Suciai.re; said, that independent of the question
as to the repayment of the rates out of the funds of the
Charity, he was decidedly of opinion that tl:e occupa-
tion was neither in the character of owner nor tenant,
and therefore Mr. Ludlow's name must be expunged
from the list.
The names of Richard Stephen Alien (the beadle),
Samuel Crossman (the porter at the gate), the Rev
Nathaniel Keymer (grammar master), and Robert
Alexander Steele (the steward), were then expunged
from the list.
The other cases were of little or no importance, and
the whole list was revised.
The Barristers will renew their sittings to-morrow on
the county list, and on Saturday the New River cases
will come on.

BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTIOac

The anniversary dinner of this institution took ple
night at the Freemasons"Favern, at which the Lord
Mayor presided. Amongst the company we no
Ch aticed
George Byng, Esq., M.P. for Middlesex, Mr. llis,
Air. C. Pearson, Mr. Giblet ( President of the institution),
Mr. Deputy Hicks, and a majority of the persons con-
nected with the trade. The sum of 16,800/. has been
raised for the support of the charity since the year 1828,
out of which 7,4401 has been funded. Nearly 100 pen-
sioners have been admitted to its benefits, and an election

additional pensioners. It was likewise stated that ten
almshouses are in the course of erection at \Valium..
green, and an institution for widows, and another for
orphans are_in contemplation.

MEETING OF THE ENGLISH AN-
TI-WAR DEPUTATION WITH M. ODILLON
BARROT IN PARIS.

M. OJILLON BARROIT AND MR. ATTWOOD.
M. Odillon Barrot had assembled about a dozen of
his supporters in the Chamber.
Mr. Attwood commenced by stating that the Eng-

lish nation had submitted to the Treaty in ignor-
ance, being deceived and blinded. Tnat the parties
into which the State was divided had combined to
support this Treaty, and that, consequently, the
Press belonging to those parties were united to pre•
vent the communication to the English people of the
knowledge of that which was done, or that which was
felt in France. That in England there was, consequently.
no knowledge that the treaty of the 15th July was inju-
rious to France, and not the remotest suspicion that col-
lision would arise Cut of that treaty ; that the English
nation was averse to war—above all to war with France ;
that the sympathies of the British nation were with
France, but that the nation was inert and heedless ;
that a eartain number of men, who have been in-
vestigating these subjects, had come to the discovery
that, during a considerable number of years, collusion
had been practised with a foreign State, and decep-
tion upon tnc nation, by the very man who represented
the interests and possessed the power of Great Bri-
tain ; that those men who came to these convictions
alone understood the position of England and of Eu-
rope, and consequently, alone felt strongly, and acted
energetically ; that their numbers were few, but in-
creasing ; that they had met with the most determined
resistance from all the parties in the State, in as far as
they were parties—namely, the political leaders ;

that their warnings and expositions had been
listened to and comprehended rather amongst
that class which are supposed to be destitute of
enlightenment and knowledge—the lower and
working orders, but that was no reason for
dreading the insufficiency of their grounds of belief, or
their inability to render their convictions effective.
That he and others had been delegated more imme-
diately by men of that class and entertaining those
opinions, but that he represented to the full extent
the general sympathies of the British nation for France,
and their general aversion for war ; that in the name
of those, as the representative of whom he appeared, he
more particularly had to point out to them that cause
of danger which he had already indicated, a cause of
danger affecting Franco no less than England, and
that, while bringing to them information upon a subject
which must be so vital as the source of those complica-
tions which was about to plunge them into war—that
he, on behalf of those who entertained the same opinions
in England, implored them to investigate, because he
was convinced that when they came to a just estimate
of the causes of the danger, that that conviction in their
minds would re-act powerfully upon England, and enable
those in England to crush the evil at its source.
M. Odillon Barrot replied, in the name of his friends,

;hat the basis of alliances With nations was in theirinterests

and in their necessities ; that all Europe had rung with
the English,and French alliance—a word common in every

child's mouth—and it was so common, because all Europe
felt that Europe had one enemy—Russia ; and that
there was but one means of safety for all, which was
the union of all against her. That the French na-
tion was therefore startled and bewildered suddenly
to find that England broke off from this old alli-
ance, this spontaneous impulse of two people, this
profound conviction of every reasoning man. They
would not believe it possible—then, they could not
believe the treaty would be executed ; and thus they
went on from day to day waiting for news, and expect-
ing events, and never believing it possible that England
could be separated from them and allied to that very
Power whose common enmity was the source of their
friendship. But if we look now at the past, we will
find that never has one step been made by Russia,
never one blood-stained conquest effected, nor one per-
fidious treaty executed, in which Russia has not in-
variably had the support of England. This then is
nothing new—it is an old system, and however inex-
plicable it may be, it is systematic. The French
Government has not done what it ought to have
done ; it may not have met with the energy and
decision with which it ought to meet so strange a
coalition ; and though I may regret that the French
Government has not done that which it ought to have
done, then I could not reproach the French Government
because I could not have done otherwise myself. I could
not have believed—no Frenchman could have believed
—no man could have believed, that England was to play
such a part ; and it was not mei ely a frank and honest
renunciation of alliance, but it was a perfidious com-
mittal of us, with whom she was bound, to servo the pur-
poses of her foe. We arc willing to believe that the
English people have no part in such transactions ; but if
they have no part, can we believe them to be men if they
submit to it ? We are not in a state to judge of the
accuracy of your estimate of what you may be able
to effect, or the extent of your means for effecting it,
but in as far as we can give you any support consistent
with the duties of our present circumstances and ne-
cessities, that support you may command. We see the
full dangers of our position—we do not close our eyes
to any one of them ; we regret the necessity, we deplore
that which imposes it upon us, but like men we will not
shrink from the consequences. Whatever be the conduct
of England—whether she is our friend or our foe, we will
assert our rights, we will destroy this coalition ; we may
wait, and, perhaps, lose precious time in doing so, as we
have done; but whatever Government is in power,
whatever man is at the bead of afrairs, rest assured upon
it that France will rise, and may soon rise, as one
man, to wreak its vengeance upon its perfidious assail-
ants. You are proceeding on the supposition that our
armaments are vain—that we will not use them—that
revolutionary means will be employed against us—
that our institutions will be upset—that our crown will
be cast down. These suppositions are alike vain. The
feelings of the nation are daily becoming stronger, and will
ultimately become united, and through that very aggres-
sion which without is reckoned upon as the means of
separating Frenchmen will be the means of uniting
them. As to your individual Minister, to whose trea-
son you refer, we have nothing to do with it. We only
know that the Government, composed of men who call
themselves our friends, have deliberated and adopted
his acts—that he has not taken them by surprise—that
he has not had one or two, but almost weekly councils,
and all these men by some strange infatuation, or by
some design unknown to us, have all of them concurred in
his policy and accepted its responsibility. Whatever then
may be my opinion of the individual Minister, I cannot,
in my public opinion, separate him from the
Government to which he belongs, or which endures
him. It would be superfluous in me now to repeat that
we desire the alliance of France and England—that we

see no means of averting the dangers that impend over
both countries but the restoration of that alliance, and
therefore we had with gratification your presence in this
city on your own account, and on account of the honour-
able mission which you have been pleased to accept,
and you have only to tell us what we have to do, and in
what way we can render assistance to those objects
which you have at heart to find us entirely at your
disposal.
Mr. Attwood replied that it was not now a ques-
tion of recrimination as to the past. If I (said he) were
were disposed to recriminate I would show you that it was
the conduct of the French Government that was the
cause of Lord Palmerston's triumph at this hour, and the
censure I should apply to the French Government in that
respect is the same as to the English—not that the one
had betrayed the other nation—but that each had
betrayed its own. No doubt the Government
to which Lord Palmerston belonged shared his
responsibility, but the object of the present moment
was not again to weigh and to balance responsibilities,
but to find the means of safety ; that the immense va•
riety of questions which had been brought into play,
which had been complicated and dishonestly misma-
naged, rendered the comprehension of public affairs I
impossible without the knowledge of the treason of
that man ; that that knowledge therefore was ne-
cessary to the comprehension of the affairs of England
and France ; and that when that knowledge was arrived
at, the steps would be easy and evident by which to
restore the position of both nations—and it was evident
that if treason existed, the fact of its existence sun.
plificd very much the means of remedy, and that there
could be no matter of such great importance, and no
assistance of so great value, as the knowledge that
the policy of England was to be resolved,. not into
dark and deep design of the nation against
France, but into the crime of a single man directed
against his colleagues, against his country, and against
Europe. That those who possessed this truth, came,
therefore, to possess the means of awakening the Eng-
lish nation, and the colleagues of the Minister. That
this question was excluded from the English Press, be-
cause they were afraid to touch it ; but when it came
to be understood, and mastered by leading men in
France, who were not rendered incapable of touching it
by the very social conditions of intercourse with the
criminal himself, that that j . udgment in France would
compel the repetition of it in the Press of England, and
therefore would give us the means of bringing it forward.

BUOYANCY OF BODIES AFTER DEATH.—
There has been much discussion as to whether bodies sink
or swim when thrown into the water after having been
killed. Considerable discrepancy of opinion exists upon
this point. It has been maintained that strangled persons
will float more readily than others. Caracciolo, Admiral
of the Neapolitan navy, eat hanged by sentence of a Court-
martial. The body was.committed to the deep in the usual
manner, and 13 days of ;erwards, whilst the King was walk-
ing on the deck of Lorri Nelson's ship, he suddenly ex-
claimed with a yell of I iorror—Viene ! vienc ! (he conies !
he comes !) The Adm.iral's corpse, breast high, was sten
floating towards the eh ip, The shot which had been at-
tacked to the feet for the
I purpose of sinking the body was
not sufficiently heavy.
This d cruel
ay is the anniversary of a most

event, which, thank Providence, is not likely to balt
