RUTLANDSHIRE REGISTRATION

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The statements made in the Tory papers as to this
Regii,tration are devoid of truth. The result of the
registration this year, so far from aiding the Tories, gives
an increase of votes in favour of the Liberals.
The Tory candidate (Mr. Dauncey) has not the
shadow of a shade of chance. He cannot come within
hundreds of either of the two Liberal candidates. It is
true that the decision of the Barrister on the forty-five
Langham votes was (as last year) against the Liberals,
but that decision is so contrary to law, that even if the
Tories could come near enough to try the question, no
Committee would listen to it. That decision is unsup-
ported by any writer on property law, or election law,
and is contrary to the last decision of the Committee of
the House of Commons. It is against the written
opinions of the three greatest coaveyancers in England,
Duval, Jarman, and Hayes, and the best Parliamentary
counsel, Harrison, Austen, and Thessiger. Th ese six
opinions taken upon the case, were produced to the'Barris-
ter in Court. The like opinions of the best election writers
were also cited—viz., Peckwell, Rogers, Stephens, El-
liott, and others. But all such authority appeared use-
less. It was proved that Mr. Andrews, twenty-three
years ago, fairly bought and paid for part of a close of
freehold land (sold and divided into many parts) ; that
he had ever since regularly received the rents, and been
in possession of his own conveyance ; that it was a good
investment ; that he could mortgage or sell it ; and the
value was admitted to be ample. In short, as the Bar-
rister said, " there was nothing fraudulent or collusive
in the transaction." Yet, notwithstanding all these
facts, and in the face of all these talented opinions and
authorities, the Barrister (a Mr. Richardson) decided
that it was within the Splitting Act, and he struck that
and forty-four other Liberal claims out. The same
Barrister, at the same time, and at the same place,
decided that three Tories of the name of Walford
(living in London), who in January last bought one
single cottage between them, situate in Oakham, which
they had never seen, and which was avowedly boughs
for three votes, was not within the Splitting Act !!
Two Wynnes also claimed for two votes for Rev.
H. Finch's cottages, and they were allowed. No proof
was given of the existence of such men. They signed
no claim themselves, nor did they personally authorise
any one to do it for them ; they did not sign their con-
veyances. Mr. Heneage Finch signed receipts for the
purchase-money, and the attesting witness to the re-
ceipt swore that he saw no money paid. Mr. Finch
held the deeds ; the tenants never heard of a change of
landlords before the registration. The Barrister ad-
journed the case for the attendance of the Rev. Mr.
Finch, but he did not appear for examination—and yet
the votes were allowed ! The Rev. Mr. Mould, also
a Tory clergyman, claimed for a bullock hovel. The
seller said he received a check for the money on the last
day of January last, but could not say on what banker
it was drawn, when he received the money, nor how ho
received it, whether through his banker or his custo-
mers, or otherwise, and admitted, that, though he kept
a cash-book ,this amount was not entered. No evidence
was shown that Mr. Mould kept a banking account,
and evidence was offered to prove that he did not keep
one within the prescribed distance. He was at Oak-
barn, keeping school, and would not make his appear-
ance in Court, though he bad notice to do so ; and yet
the vote was allowed I All these decisions may no

doubt please the Tories, and it must be admitted, that
though they are quite unimportant as to the result of

any election, they are pregnant with instruction and
usefulness.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

Rather contrary to expectation, the room was but mode-
rately attended this forenoon, which may perhaps be attri-
buted to the middle and smaller classes of speculators
being rather out in their calculations on the recent New-
market meetings, for assuredly the round betters have
wound up the season with a strong pull in their favour ;
consequently, something like breathing time must be
given, before the backers of horses for the Derby race are
to be met with at every angle. After some money had
changed hands, a few engagements were made with seve-
ral offers-3 to 1 (twice over) in hundreds were offered
against Scott's lot ; 4 to 1 would willingly have been pen-
cilled down. Colonel Peel's lot was a good deal spoken
of; 12 to 1 was wanted in a first-rate quarter; 220 to 10
was repeatedly offered against the ex-premier out of that
stable. After some attempts to obtain 10 to 1, 8- to 1
was accepted to a couple of scores on Eringo and Rosalie ;
the former we consider left off first favourite, 100 to 6 was
taken ; 200 to 11 was the top offer against the latter, 20
to 1 was asked for. At one part of the morning Ralph
was offered to be backed against Rosalie for 100 ; but we
think 20 to I would willingly, at the close, have been ac-
cepted against Lord Albemarle's Son of Dr. Syntax.
There was a proposal to take " the Tattersall's quotation"
on Coronation, but no business ; 20 to 1 was taken to a

little sum on Marshal Soult ; that figure might after-
wards, without difficulty, we think, have been got on at
the close of the room, when another horse out of Scott's
stable was backed in a good channel, viz., the Duke of
Wellington, at 500 to 16. Brother to Phosphorus, Wahab,
and one or two others, were named, but, to our ear, not
backed. Nor was there any call for the pencils upon any
turf event.

INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL
( From the Morning Chronicle.)
We have received by express, the Paris journals of
Tuesday, with letters from our correspondents. The
French press is reduced to rather a pitiable dilemma.
Every organ of it, with the exception, perhaps, of the
Presse, sounded the trumpet of war when it was
hinted that Ibraham was to be expelled from Syria by
coercion. M. Thiers declared the coercion either in-
sufficient—that is, a mere puerile attempt to disturb
the colossal force of Ibraham—or dangerous, that is
to say, requiring the march of a Russian array
_into
Asia Minor. No persons have ever been proved to
be more completely wrong than the French Minister
Ind the French press. Never was deliberation en-
lightened by so little foresight, arguments with so little
logic and truth, and measures with so little apropos
and effect. Had some envious sorcerer cast a charm over
the statesmen and the political writers of France—a
charm which was to destroy their foresight, derange their
intellects, eradicate common sense, and lead them to
conclusions and resolves the most irrational and inept—
such a charm could not have produced a different re-
sult from what we see. Accordingly, we see the greater
number of the French Journals engaged in reciprocal
recrimination. The Constitulionnel declares that it
was all Marshal Souk's fault ; the Debals replies that
it is all M. Thieve'. Each month the Journals have
been obliged to bring award a-new-bugbear. First,
we were told that all attempts at coercion would prove
vain ; that Ibrahim must pass the Taurus and put Asia
in a flame ; that Russia must send fleets and armies,
without which coercion was idle. All this, we need not
say, has proved false. Then we were told that Eng-
land was engaged in a foolish crusade ; that it was not
her interest to enter into such plans, and Mar Lord
Palmerston had betrayed his country. On the con-
trary, we arc now told that it is a deep-laid scheme for
the exclusive interest of England, that Syria is to be i
treated like India, and Emir Beschir to be another King 1
of Oude. There is not a single supposition in the
whole range of possibilities that has not been brought
forth and proved to the satisfaction of the French public.

(From the Times.)
M. Guizot has come into office to amend the policy
of M. Tillers, not implicitly to follow it. He has come
into office to render the course of the French Govern-
ment more worthy of a sagacious and pacific monarch,
more palatable to the civilized and enlightened (majority
we hope and trust) of the French nation, but less wel-
come, tor it must inevitably be so, to the disturbers of
peaceful Europe and of France herself. Under such
circumstances, do we ask too much on behalf of the
Administration of M. Guizot to bespeak for it '° fair
play" at the hands of the people of England, before they
pronounce an adverse judgment upon any of his pre•
liminary measures, in what regards the great question
now at issue before Europe? When we desire that our
Ministers may meet France in a spirit of sincere conci-
liation, and with a view to adjust existing differences
fairly, we speak not of the turbulent, insolent, aggressive
section of the French people, whose schemes we know
are iniquitous, and their demands only stimulated by
concession. It is not that dark phasis of French cha-
racter which we can ever hope to brighten, or that trou-
bled and tormenting spirit which, by reason or justice,
we can ever aspire to compose.
(From the Morning Herald.)
If Mehemet Ali's power in Syria were crushed, if
his sway over that country were utterly ruined, as the
Palmerston journals, Whig and Tory, represent, it is
certainly very strange, as was well remarked in out City
article yesterday, that Emir Bechir, in his defection from
Mehemet, should embark with 15 persons of his family
and 11.5 of his followers on board British vessels. Why
fly from a country which was then in the power of •the
very invaders to whom Emir Bechir deserted ? When
Alaroto betrayed the Carlist cause in Spain he did not
find it necessary to get out of the country on board an
English vessel, because the Carlist power was gone
the Carlist party were ruined. If he had done so we
should have inferred that he had been compelled to fly.
What has beco:ne of Emir Bechir's 8,000 troops ? Has
he left them behind without a head, while he comes
over to England to consult with Lord Palmerston ?
Consult about what ? If Syria is conquered by the
British and their Allies, what is there to consult. about ?
But if he has fled for refuge, how can Syria have been
conquered ?
