REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before Mr. T. Y. ITCHRISTIE.)
ST. BOTOLPH PARISH.
In this parish there were nearly 100 claims ; the
great majority of the names of the claimants ap-
peared in the rate-book for the whole rates made
during the past year, but none of them were placed
upon the lists.
The REVISING BARRISTER thought the case one
which showed great negligence on the part of the
overseers, and he should fine them, therefore, in the
sum of 51.
The Court, having disposed of the claims, proceeded
with the objections, which in this parish were 221
in number.
Joseph Abrahams, 125, lloundsditch, was objected
to on the ground of his being an alen.
The qualification of the defendant having been
proved,
Mr. Brown asked him whether he was not born in
Germany ?
The defendant sail that he was.
Mr. Brown then asked him whether he had been
naturalised.
Mr. Smith—Don't answer that question, sir.
Mr. Brown considered this a most improper inter-
ference on the part of Mr. Smith, and trusted that the
Court would allow the question to be answered.
Mr. Smith said that the party having proved his
qualification, was not then bound to answer any ques-
tion which might even have a tendency of criminat-
ing or disqualifying himself from the exercise of the
franchise. The Court had only to inquire into the
qualification of the person, and could not entertain
any other question.
Mr. Horne, one of Mr. Brown's assistants, was
then called, and stated upon oath that the defendant
had informed him that he was born in Germany, and
that last Tuesday he was again in company with
him, and defendant told him upon that occasion that
he had not been naturalised.
Mr. Brown (to defendant)—ls that true or not ?
Defendan t—l never said anything of the sort.—
(Considerable sensation.)
Mr. Bro,wn then endeavoured to elicit the fact of
the alienship of the defendant from the defendant
himself, bat to all the questions put to him, he main-
tained the utmost silence.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that he thought it
was unnecessary to occupy the time of the Court by
further inquiries on the subject. The defendant had
proved his qualification, and if Mr. Brown wished to
prove that the defendant was legally incapacitated he
must produe direct evidence to show that he was so
situated.—Name retained.

LAMBETH.
(Before J. DEEDS, Esq.)
A Court for the revision f the lists of voters
for the borough of Lambeth was held at the
Sessions- hou.se, Newington, this day. This district
comprises the parishes of Lambeth, Camberwell,
Newington, and the liberties.

The Rev. George Christmas claimed to be admit-
ted, as tenant. of Verulam Chapel, in the Kenning-
ton-road, Lain beth, which he rented from the Rev.
E. Weare, the proprietor.
Some objection was raised to the reverend gentle-
man's claim, or, the ground of non-occupation and
non-payment of rates. .

Die BARRI STER said, that a counting-house, a
limekiln, even a cowhouse or stable, was held suffi-
cient to confer a right to vote, and he did not see
why a chapel, Nvilich the rev. gentleman rented, should
not entitle him to vote. He would consult the sta-
tute before he decided that the rev. gentleman was or
was not exempted legally from the payment of the
rates by the nature of the tenement out of which he
claimed to vote.

PRINCE OF GONZAGA-111ANT1UA.
(Frinn the Roman Advertiser.)
In The Sun (London paper) of September 18th, we
find a remarka toe letter signed " Alexandre Prince
de Gonzaga-Mantua, Due of Mantua," which we
should insert in these columns if the subject were not
of a nature to raise difficulties. The writer (now
resident in London) gives his history as follows :
lie is grandson of Prince Philip Louis of Gonzaga-
Mantua, Prince of Castiglione and Duke of Solferino.
This Prinee was, it appears (though the genealogy is
not clearly exp la ined), together with the Princes of
Gonzaga of Gu.al3talla a descendant of the reigning
family of Mantua; and the treaties of the last century
enforced that the representatives of the two branches
should be rein stated in their possessions. In
Article V. of tb e Preliminaries of Vienna (Nov. 18,
1738) it was specified that the Emperor would
render justice to the Duke of Gonzaga of Guastalla
on his rights t o the Duchy of Mantua.
During the 'minority of the writer's grandfather,
Austria took p assession of the Duchy of Guastalla, on
the death of its last occupant in 1746. In 1792 the
Castiglione bi7anch addressed reclamations to the
Emperor Leopold 11., who resolved, from a sense of
justice, to rest oite their possessions, but was prevented
by sudden des it h. At the treaty of Campo-Formio
(1797) it was (leclared that the Emperor renounced
all his rights 1;o the possessions of Mantua Castiglione ;
but two years. dater, Mantua was again tuken posses-
sion of, and bec aim a part of the Cisalpine Republic.
The Duchy (4: Guastalla was purchased in 1539 by
the Duke Ferr anti of Gonzaga, an ancestor of the
writ*, and hall remained in his family till the incor-
poration of G.u.astalla by Austria as above mentioned.
That Duchy peas afterwards conferred, in spite of
protestations :from the family of this writer, upon
Maria Luisa o f Parma.

The Roman Advertiser of the 2d of October an-
nounces the arrival of the Prince of Gonzaiga in
Rome.
