THE NON-INTRUSION FAST.—We have received II
number of communications, from all parts of the coun-
try, on the subject of the Assembly's Fast, on Thursday
—the sum and substance of which are, that it has proved
a complete failure. This was more particularly the case
at Old :H&c:lmm, where Ilia author of " Association" lost
his temper because the scattered- few that went to bear
would not listen with patience to the " Assembly's Pas-
toral Address."

REGISTRATIONS.
TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS.

The next General Election (should there be one)
within 15 months) will virtually commence .on Sunday

contest by carefully attending to the registration. Ist.
He should see that the Overseers publish their lists on
all the Churches and Chapel doors on the Ist and Bth of
August, their wilfully neglecting to do so rendering them
liable to a penalty of 500/. 2dly. He should examine
those lists either next Sunday or the following Sunday,
or at the residence of an Overseer any day before the
15th of August, which any person may do without the
payment of any fee. He should see that his name, qua-
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, have 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.
