tered voter.

Your Committee wish, however, further to state their
opinion, although they are not prepared to o-ffer any
sp..cific suggestion for the purpose, that, without alto-
gether depriving claimants or objects rs of their respec-
tive rights as now enjoyed, it would be very d. sirabla-
to render the registration a matter of official duty ono
the part of respon,ible and competent officers, to be
eiluploS ed in forming and cortectingcounty registers. They
cannot conclude without submitting to the House that
that
the present mode of remunerating revising ham
appears to have led to or induced a greater hurry of
business than is quite compatible with that minute and
deliberate investigation which is necessary to ensure as
much as possible a complete . and clear and accura*a
register. and that some alteratto.l in the prescnn system.
of remunerating these officers would be desirable.

PROTESTANTISM IN POLAI D.
Count Valer:an Krasins4 in continuation of his second
lecture at rooms, on Saturday last, reviewed the
history of Protestantism from the time when the successor
of Stephen Baton. Sigislanid 111., ascended the throne in
1586, glancing occasionally at the political events as they
happened more or less to affect the subject under discussion,
and adverting transitorily to the literary States of the na-
tion. Sigismund Vasa, the son of the Bing ef Sweden. and
descended from the Jayellon dynasty, by his mether, the
sister of Sigismund Augustus, entered upon a reign of forty-
years' duration, hailed by Pole Sextus V. as the man of all
others the most likely to extirpate heresy from • Poland;
and his measures, as far as their effect can be gauged by the
character of the Senate, entirely fulfilled the augur ist the
Pontiff; for that body which, in 1572, contained but two or
three Roman Catholics, at his death numbered nearly as
many Protestants. His policy was never to center the
offices of state, and never to bestow the crown lands, ex-
cept on those of the favourite sect. 'nip comparative efficiency
of this mode of conversion to Rome among the Polish no-
led the lecturer to parallel this period in his nation's
history with t he times of James 11. of England. when Dryden,
and many of less note with pottet ity, were induced to adopt
the religion of the court ; an identhy or etr.:(l. he said in
circumstances less creditable to Eegleed, for the, e he peer-
age was hereditary, which in Pelee(' depended on the
pleasure if the court. Discontent. and civil w s:on
fol-
lowed. In 1591 a riot broke out at Cracow, and the Protes-
tant church was burned to the ground. De Thou ascribes
this to the instigation of the Jesuits, but the Roman Catholic
writers say that it originated in a Scotch congregation, who,
beginning to dispute upon matters of leith.ended with blows.
The Jesuits wire then in possession of about 1,0 colleges and
schools, and an annual income of 100,000/. The Eastern
Church numbered within her pale the vast 1 °iflation
if the south-eastern provinces of Poland. Several
attempts to bring them under the dominion of Rome
utterly failed. bat continuing in their own faith,
they were among the most loyal subjects of the Polish
Crown. The civil power of the magiterate, which suffered
during the reign of Sigismund 111., a weak king, never re•
covered that authority under his successors wh;ch could
enable it to give effect to the measures of good government,
or to defend the rights of the citizens against the encroach-
ment or the insult of party; consequently, the weak were
under the necessity of yislding to the strong, and the ad-
herents of Rome wielded their power with a harsh hand over
the diminished numbers of the Protestants.
