EAST SURREY REGISTRATION.

(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Fish, the barrister appointed to revise the list of
voters for the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey,
held his Court to-day, at the Horns; Tavern, li.mnington,
for the purpose of revising the list of vote :re for the
parishes of Streatham, Lambeth, and Claphumt.
Mr. Meymott appeared as the agent for the Conser-
vatives.

Mr. Corner and Mr. Jeans were in attends.nee to pro-
tect the interests of the Reformers, and
Mr. R. Russell attended to protect the interests of the
Free Traders.
The revision of the lists of voters for the parishes of
Streatham, Lambeth, and Clapham did not; possess
single point worthy of notice.
The consideration of the case of Dr. Byber, who
claimed the right of voting on account of receiving the
pew-rent of a district chapel at Roehatnpton, and which
v. as adjourned from Wandsworth to this place was pro-
ceeded with.
Mr. Russell, on the part of the Free Traders, ob-
jected to the doctor's vote, on the ground that the receipt
of pew-rents did not constitute such a qualification as
was required by the Reform Act.
Dr. Byber attended the meeting, and stated that he
had been six years incumbent of the chapel, and was
greatly surprised at the objection that bad been made
to his vote. The Rev. Doctor produced his license as
perpetual curate of the chapel, the Gazette in which the
chapel was registered, and the Act of Parliament un-
der which he claimed the right to vote.
Mr. Russell submitted that, under the Act pro-
duced, Dr. Byber had no right to have a vote unless he
could clearly show that he had a legal right to let the
pews in the church, and that it was incumbent upon
parties to pay the rents to him.

- Dr. Byber said that her Majesty's Church Commis-
sioners had directed him to appoint church wardens to
collect the pew rents, and that that was pretty clear evi-
dence that he was entitled to them.
Mr. FISH said he would read the documents produced
by Dr. Byber, and when he had done so he would de-
cide the point.
Dr. Byber said that two years ago he had been ob-
jected to by a man at Wandsworth; he was now objected
to by a man at Mitcham, and be felt convinced, unless
the party objecting to his vote was visited with costs, be
would be subjected yearly to the annoyance.
Mr. Fan postponed his judgment.

ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE AT WINDSOR.—
Yesterday afternoon (Sunday), about four o'clock, a dis-
tressing accident occurred on the river at Windsor, ad-
jacent to the Castle, causing the death of one individual
and the imminent danger of a second. A man, named
Saunders, employed in the Castle as a painter, and re-
siding in Clewer-lane, had, with his son-in-law, engaged
a boat for an excursion, and despite the warning of the
boatman, incautiously ventured in that part of the river
below the bridge where the current runs strong, and to
the unskilful is always attended with danger. In this
instance, the parties, on approaching this spot, lost all
control over their direction, and impelled by the impe-
tuosity of the stream, were hurried with fatal and irre-
sistible speed towards the weir here crossing the river.
Their screams and distracted cries for assistance on per-
ceiving their inevitable danger were most piercing and
incessant, sadly and gratingly contrasting with the
joyous operatic air at the instant performing on the
Castle-terrace by the cavalry band. Sympathising
crowds were soon attracted on the bridge, along
the banks, and upon the Castle walls, and some boats,
punts, &c., were hastily put off; but all their praise-
worthy efforts were ineffectual, and the wretched men,
iu the sight and amidst the muttered prayers of hun-
dreds, were hurled over the obstruction—one of them,
as the boat disappeared from under them, hastily
clutched a part of the frame-work, and retained his hold
until rescued from the shore. The father, uttering one
tuiploring but unavailing cry of " William :" was carried
away by the stream, and for some distance was seen
convulsively splashing, till at length he :wholly disap-
pearcd, leaving a lamenting wife and family. At a late
hour in the evening the body had not been recovered.
Such catastrophes are not unfrequent, and it should be
for the consideration of the authorities whether some
repressive regulations should not be adopted.
A case of affiliation was heard at Hull on Thursday,
in the magistrate's private room, before Mr. Cookham
and Mr. Palmer, justices of the borough. It was a com-
plaint preferred by Mi,s Ellen Gaskill Chapman, calling
upon Lord Frederick Peter Charles Beauclerk, why he
should not be adjudged the father of her illegitimate
child, born at Hull in April last. She said that Lord
Frederick for the last two or three years had sought her
company, and that in the course of October last she
unfortunately submitted to his caresses, which resulted
in the birth of a female child in April last. The de-
fendant did not, we understand, deny having spent many
hours in complainant's company, but added his assur-
ance that he was not the father of the child. Ile was
not at Eull at the time the complainant alleged the in-
tercourse to have taken place. The magistrates, after
some discussion, agreed to adjourn the case, so as to
hear several witnesses which the noble defendant wished
to have examined.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.—Of the quarter's re-
venue, which is to be completed on Tuesday next, it
may be said that it bears favourable comparison with
the corresponding quarter of last year. There will,
probably, be a net increase on the quarter of more than
half a million; the chief source of which is the Ex-
cise, and, in a less degree, the Customs. There is a
falling off upon stamps of about a quarter of a million.
THE MISMANAGEMENT or HORSES.—On Satur-
day an inquest was held at the Tulse Hill Tavern, Tulsa
Hill, Lambeth, on the body of Mr. James Hill, a
cow-
keeper, aged thirty-seven, who was killed under the
at
fol-
lowingdreadful circumstances:—The deceased
Brixton, and on Wednesday had gone to the
cemetery
at
Norwood, for a load of grass, with which he loaded
his cart, and was on his return home with a neigh-
bour, who accompanied him. When the cart reached
Tulse Hill, ;the deceased took the reins, and got on:
the shafts to keep the horse up in the descent,
which is very rapid, but he fonud the weight in it forced
the horse on, and he was unable, by mere pulling, to
keep him in. He then most imprudently, in order
to obtain a greater purchase, put both his feet on the
rump of the horse, but no sooner was this done than
the animal commenced kicking most violently, pitched
the unfortunate man off into the road, and, before his
friend could render any assistance, the wheels passed.
over his head and crushed it in a frightful manner.
The horse could not be stopped until he got into the
hollow of the hill, near the above tavern i • surgicat
aid was promptly obtained for the deceased, but it was.
of no avail. His death was almost instantaneous. It
was stated that on that day eight years a brother of the
deceased had lest his life in nearly a similar manner, on.
Clapham Common. The Coroner and jury remarked on.
the singular fatality which had attended the two brothers.
by their management of horses, and a verdict of " Acci-
dental death" was returned.

of the mansion at this moment are two or three rooms

chapel has not escaped in the general wreck. The altar
piece and the organ have both been sold, but the colours
of the Royal Bucks Militia, bequeathed by the Marquis
of Buckingham to the care of his descendants, which.
hang over the gallery are yet untouched. What is to.
become of the mansion and estate nothing authentic is,
known, though a variety of reports are in circulation.
VALUE OF LIFE.—In the West Indies, a colone
was ordered to disembark his corps tl attack one of th
islands. In stepping into a boat he fell overboard, t)ie
current carried him rapidly from the ship, when an hon est
tar jumped after him, kept him afloat till a boat was Ws-
patched to his assistance, and put him safely on bciard.
One of Jack's messmates observing the colonel put some-
thing into the hands of his deliverer, stepped up to him,
exclaiming, " Demme, Jack, you are in luck to-day;"
and eagerly opening his hands, expecting to share in
a can of grog; but on discovering the reward, a six-
pence, the tar uttered a prayer, and whispered his mess-
mate, " Never mind, Jack, every man knows the value
of his life best."
An imposition was recently practised upon an
unsuspecting clergyman, in the United States, by a
couple cf graceless scamps, one of whom was attired in
petticoats. The minister performed the marriage cere .
many for them, and they completed the joke by givin
.g
a counterfeit bill.
