t*,(‘ Customs as the g-reatost rogues in ( xistence. What
history of fraud, exclaims our honest Contemporary,
Z"'",l b, untotoett were the frauds practised in the
River Thames alone, through connivance with the
aerntntts'of the Custom-house, to be revealed ! There
its hardb a widow of a waterman below bridge who
does not receive a pension from some quarter or other
of the Custom-house to keep her from divulging the
secrets she might obtain a knowledge of during the life-
time of her husband.
The'Post is as furious against the Chronicle as that
Journal is against the delinquent Custom-house officers,
and accuses it of a determination to conduct the opposi-
tion to a Tory Government in the Jacobin spirit of the
I first French Revolution, and in resentment of the loss of
°ffice, involve Great Britain in the horrors of a sangui-

nary democratic revolution.
Our Liberal Contemporary, the Advertiser, makes
a violent attack on Lord John Russell for not following
nut the principles of Reform laid down by his Lordship
in the TrouSe of Commons in 1831. Considering the
diffieulti,s in which Lord John was involved by Whig-
Tory colleagues, Tory alliances, and Tory courtiers, the
animadversions are too severe, but they are not destitute

of truth.
-- The Ipswich Express states that, when the present
condition of political parties, and of popular ignorance,
fl.lCclo'sed by the elections, is considered, it is by no
scans a subject or regret that the advocates of advance-
ment and civilization should be again in opposition, or
that the maintenance of public grievanCes should once
• more occupy the high places.
The liverpoel Chronicle observes, in a leading
article on the subject Of the Registrations—" We have
no hesitation in prophesying that we shall have an elec-
tion almost immediately, and we can give precedents
enou:2.ll to show that our late defeat is no reason for
despair.
The Cork Southern Reporter congratulates the
Reformers on their not attempting in any way to extenu-
ate the victory of their opponents, observing :—" This
is an intlicatiOn of an elevated and healthy tone of the
Public mind, and so long as difficulties are viewed un-
shrinking,ly and calmly prepared for, there is no just
cause for desponding."

lification, and place are correctly described, and having
ascertained if the names of any persons, who he believes
to be entitled to be on such list, hate been omitted, he
should induce them to claim to be registered on or before
the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act
Prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.
A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

VIDENT INSTITUTION.—The Committee of this lau-
dable society have made arrangements for an aquatic
trip this day. The Royal Sovereign steamer is en-
gaged for the occasion, and every arrangement that can
conduce to the comfort and accommodation of those who
may patronize the excursion, has been made, not with
a niggardly or parsimonious hand, but in a spirit of
perfect old English hospitality. James liariner,• Esq.,
the patron of the Institution, has granted permission for
the company to land and spend the day on the beautiful
grounds attached to his mansion at Greenhithe, and a
commodious marquee has been erected in the Park, to
shelter the visitors from the fervour of a summer's sun.
In this tent a cold collation will be served, and those who
feel disposed may devote their time to the shrine of Terp-
sichorj, an excellent band having been provided for that
Purpose. Herr Von Joel, the sifleur, and a celebrated
comic singer will be present. In fact, the Committee
have not omitted any thing calculated to enhance the
Pleasures of the day, and we heartily hope the weather
- may_prove propitious.
The new steamer, Princess Royal, made her
