For all kinds of New Hops, the supplies of which
considerably exceed the legitimate wants of the buyers,
the demand is still in a very inactive state, and to effect
sales a further decline in the quotations has been sub-
mitted to. Owing to the scarcity of money scarcely any
parcels have changed hands on speculation. Yearling
and old Hops are very dull, at almost nominal curren-
cies. The duty is called from 170,0001. to 175,000/.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
PARISH OF SAINT CLEMENT, NEAR EASTCHEAP.
Henry Thomas Jones, of No. 2, Baldwin-court,
claimed to be placed upon the register. His claim
was made with respect to .a portion of the above
named residence, which he occupied, there being two
separate entrances to the premises.
Mr. Brown: objected to the claim, on the ground
that although there were two separate entrances they
were common to both the landlord and the claimant,
the former of whom resided on the premises as well
as the latter.
Mr. S. Smith contended, on the other hand, that
there was no exclusive occupation on the part of the
landlord, and the claimant was therefore entitled to
have his claim allowed.
Mr. APCHRISTIE felt unwilling to reject the claim,
but he thought that he would be under the necessity
of doing so, as it appeared that the landlord occu-
pied part of the house to which there was a common
entry.—Claim rected.
The claim of John March was objected to by Mr.
Brown, on the ground of his not being rated.
Mr. March said that he was not rated, and had not
made any application to be rated.
Mr. Smith produced an application to be rated, and
in reply to a question put to him, Mr. March ad-
mitted that it bore his signature, but stated that some
parties called upon him, and requested him to sign
the paper, which he did, not knowing the nature of
the document to which he had affixed his name..
The Learned BARRISTER cautioned him to be more
careful in future, with respect to signing docu-
ments presented to him for his signature.—Name
expunged.
PARISH OF ST. LAWRENCE, POUNTNET.
During the revision of the lists of this parish, Mr.
S. Smith called the attention of the Court to the cir-
cumstance of a large number of the houses
in this parish not being described with any number.
The whole of the houses in Swan-lane were in this
situation, as were also those of Arthur-street West.
The overseer said that there were no numbers to any
of the houses.
Some discussion ensued as to the course which the
Court ought to adopt under the circumstances; the
40th section of the Act requiring that the numbers
of the houses should be inserted.
Mr. Smith contended that some of the houses in
the streets referred to were numbered, and that in
such case where the house was numbered, and no
number appeared in the lists of the overseers, the
name of the occupier ought to be expunged.
Mr. Brown, on the other side, contended that the
Court had the power in such case to amend the list
by the insertion of the number, upon evidence of the
same being given, but had not the power to expunge
a name under such circumstances.
The cases were ordered to stand over, to afford the
overseer an opportunity of ascertaining whether the
houses were numbered or not.
PARISH OF ST. MARGARET, NEW FISH•STREET.
Several cases occurred in this parish of omission on
the part of the overseer, in continuing to keep the
names of parties upon the rate book, which led to
heir names being expunged. In each of the cases
the overseers were fined in the sum of 3/.

WESTMINSTER.
(Before F. BAYLEY, Esq.)
The Revising Barrister sat this morning in the
Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster Hall.

The St. John's list was first proceeded with.
John Massey Wood, inspector of nuisances and of
paving to the Paving Board, was objected to on the
ground that he was a police constable in the terms
of the Act.

It appeared that he had been sworn before Mr.
➢lay, the inspector of :police, in order that he might
be enabled to arrest persons in his capacity of in-
spector, should it be necessary to do so, the Paving
Board not being able to endow him with that power.
He, however, received no remuneration from the po-
lice, and the swearing in was only effected for the
purpose of enabling him to discharge a portion of his
duties.

Mr. lluggett held that the fact of his being sworn
in as a constable clearly disqualified Mr. Wood
under the Police Act.

Mr. Ribble opposed the objection, and contended
that Mr. Wood could not he considered a constable.
The REVISING BARRISTER Said, after a careful
perusal of the Registration and Police Acts, he hal
arrived at the opinion that Mr. Wood was not entitled
to vote.

Mr. John Norris, cab proprietor, who appeared on
the list for a house situated at No. 12, Little Chapel-
street, Westminster, was objected to on the ground
that he was not an inhabitant householder. Mr.
Norris lived next door (No. 13), but he occupied no
portion of the premises at No. 12, neither had he a
key.
Objection allowed.

Mr. Arrison, of Marsbam-street, was objected to
on the ground that, as a scot and lot voter, he had
only paid one-third of the assessment.

Arrison stated that he ,had paid all that had
boon ohkimod a him, the fault. if fault at all, did not
lie with him but with the authorities.

Mr. Hibble considered the vote a good one, Mr.
Arrison had paid all the taxes that had been de-
manded of him.

Mr. Huggett (who objected to the vote) said the
case was an important one, inasmuch as there were
nearly fifty votes of the same kind.
The ItEvistisa BARRISTER considered the vote a
good one.
St. Margaret's was next proceeded with.

:MEETING AT SIR R. PEEL'S.—The ex-Premier,
who has lately been turning his attention to the im-
provement of agriculture, last week invited a party of
scientific and practical agriculturists, geologists, bota-
nists, &c., among whom were Earl Talbot, Lord For-
rester, Lord tlathertoe, Mr. F. Lawley, Dr. Buckland
Dean of Westminster, Dr. Lyon Playfair. Dr. Lindley,
Rev. Mr. Huxtable, Mr. Jonathan Peel, Captain Dilke,
Mr. Mechi, Mr. F. Woodward, Mr. Josiah Parkes, &c.
Animated discussions took place on the subjects of cat-
tle-feeding, under•draining, &c., and the substance of
them, it is hoped, will shortly be published. Sir R.
Pee], in his retirement from office, is thus fulfilling
another and not less important duty—that of holding
i
out an example to country gentlemen for the mprove.
ment of their estates, so as to meet the altered spirit of
the times.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
THE LATE ROBERT TIIoM, ESQ.—Lord John Rus-
sell has kindly and considerately presented to Mrs.
Thom, mother of the late Robert Thom, Esq., Consul at
l'l
China, 2501. out of the Queen's Bounty Fund.
Mirn.glP:°h'om, we understand, has acquired a new claim or.
the gratitude of his country by devoting the last week o
his life to preparation for publishing another work on
his favourite topic. It is entitled " The Chinese Speaker.
Elementary works in Chinese literature have long been
felt to be a desideratum. The production of our lamented
townsman goes far, we are told, to supply the want.
Copies of it have just arrived in England.—Glasgozr
Chronicle.

PORTUGUESE CATTLE.—We have to record a very
remarkable arrival from the south of Europe. The vessel
Falcao, of Portugal, which has arrived at the Brunswick-
wharf, Blackwall, from Lisbon and Oporto, has brought,
in addition to a cargo consisting almost entirely of fruits
and other productions of a seasonable character, 130
oxen, the produce of Portugal. By the vessel arriving
at the Blackwall-wharf, we presume it to be a steamer
which has been employed to facilitate the arrival of the
perishable fruits and live stock at their destination, and
we do nut think that any previous instance has occurred
of a steamer belonging to that state having been em-
ployed to traffic with lagrahandis• to /60 Brit"
metropolis.
