THE REGISTRATION.

WHOLESALE PROTECTIONIST OBJECTIONS.
(From a Correspondent.)
TUE ENSUING REGISTRATION.—The policy which the
Protectionists arc pursuing in London, in 014.9cting al-
most indiscriminately to the Liberal claimants for votes,
is being pursued by the same party in other parts of the
country. In North Durham, about 500 objections have
been served upon Liberals, that being the number of
claimants ; and in North Northumberland, where there
are about 80 Liberal claims, objections are taken to nearly
the whole of them. To defeat these proceedings, a meet-
ing of the united Liberal and Free-trade party was held
at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Thursday evening, when ar-
rangements were entered into which will secure the pre-
sence of competent agents in the Registration Courts
in the counties of Northumberland and Durham. A
large increase has taken place in the list of voters for
Newcastle during the past year, and the majority of the.
new voters are free traders.
[The watching Committee of tho League should see
to this, and if necessity require, it should take imme•
diate measures to summon a meeting of the League to
consider the subject. We would advise every member of
the League who has been objected to immediately to
address a letter to the " Watching Committee," re-
questing them to convene a meeting of the League, such
letter to be addressed to the care of George Wilson, Esq.,
late chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, Manchester.

PLAN OF THE PARISH OF TWICKENIIAM,IMIDDLE••
SEX, WITH BOOK OF REFERENCE —ln this plan—which
is drawn on a very large scale, and for the accuracy the,
name of Mr. Warren is alone a sufficient guarantee—
every mansion, house, field, and road is clearly marked,
and its boundaries distinctly laid down. Each eon-
, partment thus marked off is distinguished by a number,
and by looking at the number in the book of reference
we find the name of the proprietor, the description of
the property, and the quantity of land it occupies. The
whole is executed in the most artist-like manner, and it.
reflects great credit on the accuracy, diligence, and
artist-like taste of its designer, Mr. Warren.
REAL AFFECTION FOR A HOME SECRETARY.--•
Rambling one day in a beautiful and secluded spot, at the
time when the nation was fearfully agiteted about the
Government opening private letters, and Sir James Gra-
ham, then Home Secretary, in the enjoyment of un-
mitigated abuse, I approached a magnificent abode of
simple, rural nature, near where sat an aged woman of
venerable and religious appearance; a daughter, in Tao-
dest, neat attire, had her head upon her shoulder, full of
grief and devotion. I neared unseen, unheard, and un-
heeded. I heard a tremulous voice, in the most sincere
tone I ever remember before, exclaim, " Graham, may
God bless you, Sir James Graham!" which was heart-
feltly reiterated by the lily upon her shoulder, followed
by a burst of unsophisticated and overwhelming grief.
A tremor came o'er me: I felt that I had unthinkingly
trod where I ought not to have done. I was hurt and
affected. A few minutes before, I had replaced a news-
paper in my pocket which is read by the world, and
which contained a fierce onslaught against Sir James
Graham, comparing him to all the fiends imaginable,
and here, in a retired nook, was a simple rustic blessing
his name and invoking God's blessing also. The next
day I discovered that Sir James had recommended her
son to the Queen for a free pardon, and he had that day
returned from a penal settlement to " bring down her
gray hairs with pleasure to the grare." Had Sir James,
thought I, heard that solemn and sincere baled! ction, it
would have compensated for more than the writer had
asserted who lay snugly ensconced in my coat pocket.

THE SEASON.—As a proof of the approxitmtion of
our climate this summer to that of eastern countries, it
may be worth recording, that our island has been visited
by a swami of those destructive insects, the Brea t brown
locusts. A few stragglers have visited this viein ty, two
specimens of which were taken to our museum, where
one of them is now alive, and in full vigour. A n( rthern
paper mentions the fact of the swarm having been seen
at Sunderland, and that they travelled in a southerly
directiwi.--117,27f01k Chronicle.
