ROCHESTER.

At ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 13th instant,
John David Chambers, Esq., held a court at the Guild-
hall of this city, to revise the list of voters in the election
of knights of the shire for the county of Kent. This
district includes the Laythe of Aylesford, c,mtaining 20
parishes, and it is very remarkable that there was not a
case for the Court. Mr. Chambers, therefore, adjourned
his sitting until three o'clock in the afternoon, when he
announced tb at he should take the lists for the city
and borough to revise; and at that hour the Court as-
sembled.
Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Greenwich, appeared on behalf
of the Liberals, and Mr. Matthews, of Gravesend, for the
Conservatives.
The freemen's lists, which contained 29 objections and
6 claims, were agreed between the parties to be taken
first, and, owing to the number of cases of household
qualification to be decided, there being 121 persons on
the list objected to, besides 11 claims,: the court is
expected to last three days. It opened at Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock, to finish the freemen's lists.

The Parisian correspondent of the Brighton Ga-
zelle, in describing the opening of the Italian Opera at
Paris this season, says that the French dilettanti com-
plain " that the once-charming Grisi is becoming—may
the word be spoken—too fat."
BUTcuERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION CRIOXET
CLUB.—CLOSE op THE SEASON.—The
first anniver
dinner of this excellent andpraiseworthy society, was
held on Wednesday, at the club's head-quarters, mine
host Bart s, of the wan, Walham-green. To say that the
ary
connoisseurs of the good things of the table had " lenten
fare" would be a libel on their u
j d ent in the selection
of a caterer ; on the contrary, a better dinner, better
served, than the forty friends of humanity, charity,
fellow-feeling, and healthful sport, sat down to discuss,
it has seldom fallen to our lot to have seen spread on
the social board. When an association combines those
warm sympathies and good intentions which make " all
mankind of one common kin," it leaves but little for the
chronicler to record, save an expression of regret that
such sunny spots in memory's waste are not more fre-
quent. After the usual loyal toasts, that of " Prosperity
to the Club which there assembled," called up Mr. If.
Collins, the secretary, who, in a speech to the point, an-
nounced that fifty pounds had been added to the funds
of the Butchers' Charitable Institution by the exertions
of the club. He trusted that as they progressed a wider
field would open for their useful and benevolent efforts,
,
and that by the infusion of fresh blood into their ranks,
in the coming spring
1847 might put its peed ce:sor 1846 to the blush ; not in earnestness of purp a
, hut
in increased eirectiveness and power of doing good Mr.
Sharp, the president of the committee of the inst t
aim),
.
and other gentlemen, also addressed the assembly ; and
after a pleasant evening, diversified by excellent harmony,
and an interchange of encouragement to perseverare, in
the laudable and benevolent undertaking in which a I
present seemed most heartily embarked, the comp y
separated with the hope to meet again as early as 0.

14,000 to 15,000 baies, of which 8,000 were on specula-
tion. The market was very animated, and prices in
most instances were per lb. higher. Holders deem
the accounts be the Cambria in their favour; the crop of
Sea Islands' being estimated at 15,000 bales. The quo
tations are as follows:-200 Pernams and Maranhams.
at sid. to 71r1.; 400 Bahi,i, at 64d. to 7d.; 300 Egyp-
tian' at 61d. to 7d.; 500 Surat, at 3d. to 40.; and the
rest American, at sd. to 6111.
The papers and letters received by the Cambria
steamer are of considerable interest as respects the
quantity of supplies coming forward of flour, &c. The
exports are represented as being very heavy indeed.
The weather, too, continued satisfactory for getting in
produce. The weather is thus referred to in the last
number of the Quebec Gazette which has come to
hand:—
" THE WEATHER.—The north east wind which com-
menced on the night of the 18th inst., continued only
till the following night. Yesterday the wind was west,
the air again smoky, and the thermometer up to 75 deg.
in the shade ; towards evening the wind went round by
the south, and it began to rain about ten o'clock, and
continued till towards daylight with a light easterly wind
which still continues. Some farmers in the new settle-
ments have got in their potato crops in good order, in
some cases a thousand bushels. Ploughing is commenced
on moist grounds."
In the English Stock Market the settlement of the
Account has formed the principal business of this day.
As yet all has gone off well. The failure, talked of so
much, which occurred yesterday, was a mere bagatelle.
The party was a member of the Exchange just
started—rather an ill omen as respects the
future prosperity of the concern. Consols for the
Account have been done at 958, and for Money at 95k;
but just now sales were made of the latter at 948. The
Exchequer-bill market is heavy, at 14s. to 17s. premium.
Bank Stock has improved from 205 i to 2068.
Speculation is rather active in Mexican, in Spanish,
and in the Duteh Funds to-day. Prices are, for most of
the foreign investments, anything bt.t firm.
There is a better opinion entertained of Railway
Shares to-day. The official prices are annexed.
