THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
The Revising Barrister, at half-past ten o'clock on
Saturday morning, proceeded with the revision of the
householders' list.
Henry S. Redpath, 13, St. Swithin's-lane, claimed to be
put on the list. A claim was served on his behalf, but
a blank was left in the document where the premises
should have .been inserted, and in consequence of the
omission the claim was disallowed.
Henry Houghton, of Walbrook-buildings, claimed to
be registered.
It appeared that Mr. Houghton had attended last year,
and that his claim was allowed, but notwithstanding that
fact his name was omitted from this year's list, and it
consequently became necessary to serve a new claim for
him to be put on the rate. A complaint was made by
Mr. Wansey, on the part of the complainant, of the hard-
ship of obliging him, under those circumstances, to attend
the Court.
The Vestry-Clerk was interrogated by the Barrister
with reference to the omission, but was unable to state
satisfactorily how: it had occurred. He admitted that
he was responsible for the omission.
Mr. Wansey submitted that the Court should fine the
overseers in that case.
BARRISTER—But Mr. Philips, the vestry-clerk, says
he is responsible for it.
The Vestry-Clerk declared, that he, and not the over-
seers, was responsible for the omission.
Mr. Wansey again urged that the overseers might have
made the omission.
BARRISTER—We will understand how that is, and I
am sure Mr. Philips will assist us to do so.
Mr. Philips said if be could find out the lists on his re-
turn home, he should do so; but he could not pledge
himself that he would find them, as his clerk was out of
town.
The BARRISTER intimated that he would be prepared
at any time during the present registration to investigate
the matter.
The lists of the parishes of St. Stephen,Walbrook, and
St. Swithin,London-wall,were revised, thereby finishing
the revision of the wards of Bridge, Candlewick, Wed-
brook. The lists of Allhallows on the Wall, Broad-
street ward, were also revised.
Result of the revision, as furnished by the Liberal
agent :

on Monday morning.

EAST SURREY.

Mr. Fyshe, the revising barrister, held his court yes-
Lerday. at the Vestry Hall, Camberwell, to go through
he list of voters for that district.

Mr. E. Meymott attended, as Conservative agent, Mr.
R. Russell for the Free-traders, and Mr. Jeans repre-
sented the Liberal party.
In the parish of Christ Church 24 new claims were
sent in by parties claiming to vote in respect of free-
hold land and houses, situate in Body's-court, in that
parish.
The claims were opposed by Mr. Meymott.
Mr. Russell, who supported the claims, said that the
parties who claimed the right to vote, were the mem-
bers and shareholders of a building society, called the
Finsbury House Estate Company, the object of which
was, when a certain sum was raised by the contribu-
tions of its members; to purchase house property, or
invest their money on mortgage upon it. The property
so derived was vested in the usual way in three trustees,
but they only acted for the benefit of the shareholders
generally, and as the property, for which the votes were
now claimed, was of amply sufficient value, he sub-
mitted that the whole of the parties now claiming to
vote, were entitled to have their names upon the re-
gister.

The deeds were produced, and the trustees, who were
present, were questioned as to the nature of the associa-
tion proving the facts, as stated by Mr. Russell. It ap-
peared that since the formation of the society some of
the members had disposed of their shares to other par-
ties by deeds of assignment.
Mr.Meymott, in opposition to the claims, argued that
there was no freehold qualification, and that the shares
were merely personal property, and not freehold, and
were treated as such by the members of the society.
Mr. Russell, in reply, said it did not matter how the
parties themselves might act with regard to their own
property, if there was, in point of fact, a freehold inte-
rest originally, and he cited a judgment given by the
late Lord Chief Justice Tindal upon precisely the same
point, in support of his view of the question.

The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared to him
that the case cited by Mr. Russell was completely iden-
tical with the present one, and he considered the claim-
ants entitled to vote.

The whole of the names were, therefore, placed upon
the list.

No case of interest occurred in any of the other
parishes.
There were forty-seven fresh claims made by free-
traders, of which forty-four were substantiated.

was entirely due to his son, who, when the distres be-
came so prevalent in the country, resolved to abandon a
tour which he was about to make through Greece and
Turkey, inorder to expend the money which his journey
would have cost him in giving employment to a number
of poor people in carrying on this drainage. This an-
nouncement was received with loud applause.—lrish

THE FOOD RIOTS.-PROCLAMATION OF THE
LORD-LIEUTENANT.
_ _

DUBLIN, OCT. 3.—.1n consequence of the recent food
riots and tumultuous assemblages in the south, the Lord-
Lieutenant has issued the following proclamation, which
shows that whilst his Excellency is adopting all possible
means to mitigate the calamity that has fallen upon the
country, he is
.determined to maintain order, even by
rigorous measures, and to afford to the trade in provi-
sions that protection without which society could not
hold together :

" Whereas it has been" represented to
a
tenant, that in various parts of the country numerous
Castle, Oct.
Lo 2,
rdlB-L46ie. u-
assemblages of people have committed acts of violence,
by attacking the shops of bakers and the stores of mer-
chants, and by interrupting the free traffic in provisions,
and otherwise disturbing the public peace:
" His Excellency is determined, by every means in his
power, to protect that lawful trade in the articles of food,
the complete security of which is essential to the sub-
sistence of the people; and he earnestly warns all per-
sons of the danger which they incur by taking part in
these illegal proceedings.
" The Lord-Lieutenant has also been informed, that a
disposition has in some instances been manifested by the
labourers employed in public works to resist the sr-
; angements which the officers of the board of, works
have made, in order to ensure their proper execution, by
task or piece work, as well as to endeavour, by violence,
to obtain a higher rate of wages. These' officers are
acting under the express directions of the Government,
and if this improper interference is persevered in, the
Lord-Lieutenant will be compelled to order the works to
be discontinued.

" The Lord-Lieutentant confidently relies on the con-
tinued support of magistrates and others of station and
influence in his efforts to maintain tranquillity, as well
as to mitigate the effects of the calamity with which it
has pleased Divine Providence to afflict this country :
and he desires, in an especial manner, to thank the
ministers of religion, of all persuasions, for their useful
and exemplary conduct on this trying, occasion.
"By his Excellency's command,
"H. LABOLICHERE."
There are no further accounts of food riots from the
country this morning. In Cork and other counties em-
ployment on public works has commenced ; and the
Government are affording all possible facilities in order
that the peasantry should be at work in all directions.

ADDRESS FROM THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION
ON THE FOOD RIOTS.

The following address, proposed by Mr. John O'Con-
nell, M.P., at the instance of the Repeal Association, has
been printed, with a view to circulation in all parts of
the country :

ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION
OP IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.

" Fellow Countrymen,—Not until the calamity of
famine was aggravated by bloodshed have we ventured
to address you.
" We know your sufferings—our hearts bleed with
yours ; we dreaded to speak, lest reasoning and advice
should sound to you as mockery of your misery
" But now, that blood has been spilt— now that our
hearts are dying within us at the thought that this may
be but the beginning of the horrors we are doomed to
witness, we can no longer—we dare no longer—refrain
from crying out to you, in God's name, to be patient—
to be patient yet awhile, and relief you shall assuredly
have.

" The Government are doing all that in them lies to
supply for this most sudden and utter destruction of
your food. Your landlords are exerting themselves to
procure you employment. Every one is thinking of
your miseries in the sincerest anxiety to relieve them.
" For God's sake—for your country's sake—for your
own sakes, restrain yourselves. Break not the law—
commit not violence—plunge not into crime—bring not
the worst wretchedness upon your helpless families, by
bringing death upon yourselves !
" If, in the madness of your sufferings, you shall be
tempted to spurn at our supplications, yet remember that
what we seek to urge upon you is but what your religion
teaches and commands—PATIENCE, PEACE, AVOIDANCE
OF CRIME, CONFIDENCE IN ALMIGHTY GOD, AND RESIG-
NATION TO HIS HOLY WILL.
" The darkest hour is that before the day ;' and we
are at this moment in that dark hour which is to precede
the near and glorious sunrise of freedom and happiness
and prosperity upon this long afflicted land
"It is impossible we can ever return to the state of
things in which we have been. It is impossible that onr
people can ever again be screwed down to the lowest point
in the scale of existence. They MUST be given their
proper place in the social scale. They must be allowed
to enjoy the profits of their labour. They must have
their hard-earned rents spent in the country. They must
have the wasting drains from the country effectually
stopped, and its money capital kept at home to vivify, as
a fresh and abounding stream, the exhausted and dried-
up industrial enterprise of the land.
" For England's own sake this must be done, else must
she be prepared to take, in permanency upon herself, the
support of our population—to see her coffers drained of
the last shilling, and total bankruptcy brought upon the
empire.
" PEACE ORDER PATIENCE CONFIDENCE IN
HEAVEN, and all will yet be well. Meantime be of this
assured, beloved countrymen, that while we thus venture
to exhort you—we with equal earnestness will cry out
again and again to the Government, to continue, and, if
possible, increase the efforts to give you FOOD.
"Patience then, in the name of your country, and in
the most adorable name of God !"
(Signed) " JOHN O'CONNELL,
" Chairman of the Committee.

TROOPS FOR THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS.
The Duke of Cambridge steamer, which left this city
on Thursday evening, with four companies of the 47th
Regiment for Dungarvan, has just returned. The
steamer, not being able to make Dungarvan, put into
Youghal, and landed the troops there. All was trail.
quil in Youghal and the neighbouring districts when
the steamer left yesterday, and the accounts from Dun-
garvan were peaceable. The four companies of the 47th
marched at once for Dungarvan.
PROPOSED MEETING OF LANDLORDS IN

DUBLIN.
The letter of Mr. R. Osborne, M.P., which we noticed
on 'Thursday, urged the adoption of Mr. O'Connell's
suggestion, fur an immediate assemblage of the landed
proprietors of Ireland in Dublin, to consult upon mea-
sures suited to the present emergency.
It will be perceived by the following documents that
a somewhat similar project has been taken up by land-
lords connected with various counties:—
" TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LUCAN.
"DUBLIN, SEPT. 26, 1846.—We, the undersigned,
request that you will allow your name to be affixed to
the following requisition, and to direct your answer to
Charles William Hamilton, Esq., 41, Upper Sackville-
street, Dublin:—
. Michael Dillon Bellew, Bt. David Roche, Bart.
Wm. Blayney Wade Wm. Monsell
Robert Archbold, M.P. Charles Doyne
Thomas Seymour Wm. Jones Armstrong
Robert Bowen Chas. Wm. Hamilton
Thomas R. Hardy Wm. Owen
Richard A. O'Donnell, Bt. H. B. Coddington.
" REQUISITION.
" We, the undersigned, request a meeting of the
landowners of Ireland, to be held in Dublin, on the
day of next, to press upon her Majesty's Go-
vernment the importance of at once summoning Par-
liament, in order that the provisions of the Act entitled
the 9th and 10th Vic., chap. 107, may be altered, so
as to allow the vast sums of money about to be raised
by the presentments under it to be applied to the de-
velopment of the resources of the land, rather than
in public works of an unproductive nature.
" Signature and address to be attached hereto, and re-
turned."

" REPLY.

" Castlebar, Oct. 1, 1846.
" Sir,—l am of opinion that Parliament must be
called together at the earliest possible day, which I
have expressed to her Majesty's Government, or I am
convinced the country is lost.
e I will join in any address to the Queen to that
effect, but I cannot sign the requisition forwarded to
me, as I totally disapprove of stating that Parliament
should be convened solely to consider an Act of Parlia-
ment, however mischievous, as the one mentioned most
undoubtedly is.
" Parliament should, and must be, at once assembled,
to consider the frightful state of Ireland, to provide
for the present emergencies, and and to legislate against
a continuance, or a recurrence, of so severe a calamity
as that with which we are afflicted.
My- humble opinion is, that an address, very short,
and in the above general terms, should immediately pro-
ceed to her Majesty from the members of the Legislature,
and the lieutenants, deputy-lieutenants, and magistracy,
or proprietary of Ireland, as shall be preferred. This, I
consider, is an address in which every Irishman will
readily join, and one that cannot fail to secure the at-
tention and compliance of Lord John Russell and his
Cabinet.
" I shall not have it in my power to attend the pro-
posed meeting in Dublin, nor can I see how such

We have learned that the circular has been altered, so
as to meet the objection of Lord Lucan, and of others,
who were of the same opinion as that Noble Lord.

Lieutenant now amount to two hundred and thirty-six.
The provincial journals are again crowded with re-
ports of presentment sessions, at which grants have
been liberally made.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains the fol-
lowing :
" MACROOM.—Our Macroom correspondent relates
that, on Wednesday afternoon, large bodies of men,
women, and children, presenting an awful appearance of
destitution, mustered together in that town. The work
house was the first place to which they went, exhibiting
nothing bordering on tumult, notwithstanding their pri-
vations. ' Work or food,' was the cry. A respectable
inhabitant, Mr. Welply, used all his influence to quell

any disposition to riot w hich appeared, with which view,
to show his sympathies for their distress, he
marched himself in their centre. Our correspondent
recognised several in the crowd whom he knew to
have been a long period without a morsel of food,
yet the multitude did not betray the least symptom of
lisorder, though their frames seemed to sink from faint-
ness. Even to the flowers of the garden attached to the
workhouse no damage was done, nor to any kind of pro-
perty. The physician, who happened to be present remon-
strated with them, and pointed Out the prospects of re-
lief, after which they returned as peaceably as they en-
tered. The crowd, on returning to the square, was met
by Mr. Little, resident magistrate, who called them to-
gether in the vicinity of the hotel, where the following
conversation ensued:—' Are you from the country ?'
Yes,' was the reply.' What brought you to Mac-
room?' To get employment and food.' Had you no
other object of assembling together?' No.'
" Mr. Little, satisfied of their sincerity, explained
that the local gentry, lay and clerical of every denomina-
tion, were in emulation to serve the people, and bad
memorialised the Government for a baronial sessions,
although from the great pressure of similar applica-
tions at the Castle, his Excellency, as it was stated
in reply, was obliged to postpone complying with the
prayer of it for a few days. Mr. Little continued to
say that he was the Government magistrate, and
would make an official representation of their extreme
destitution as well as their very creditable and orderly
demeanour, with which he was highly gratified. The
gentlemen around him also had written to the Lord-Lieu-
tenant for two hundred pounds for each parish in their
district, which if granted would enable them to give em-
ployment in the interim. A guardian informed him of
the intention on the next board day to adopt a resolution
to give those in extreme distress food at the workhouse
until the Government should interpose. He repeated be
was delighted to witness their patient forbearance and
good conduct, which had avoided consequences that
would aggravate their present miseries.
" Mr. Welply then presented himself, on whom was
rivetted each expectant eye, and after having pronounced
a high eulogium upon Mr. Little, the stipendiary magis-
trate, apprised the crowd of the various plans about to
be adopted for immediate relief; he concluded by inviting
those who suffered from hunger to his place, to which a
great number repaired, accompanied by Mr. Welply,
who was enthusiastically cheered at the conclusion of
his address.

" Just as the crowd was separating, the Rev. Mr. Lee,
who had been absent from town and returned, addressed
the congregated people, in an eloquent and feelingly
impressive manner, which confirmed the impressions
made by the two preceding speakers, calling upon them
to return to their respective homes quietly, and pro-
mising ere the lapse of many days they would be restored
to comparative comfort. The reverend gentleman's in-
junction was immediately obeyed, and the town resumed
its wonted quietude.
" A party of 37 mounted soldiers, which had been dis-
patched from Ballincollig the preceding day, paraded the
streets; but so little apprehension of violence was ex-
cited, that the force was under orders to return the suc-
ceeding morning, to be replaced, if circumstances should
render it necessary, by a body of infantry."
DUNGARVAN, SEPT. 30.—Since Monday an organised
band of peasantry have visited the houses of many gen-
tlemen and farmers in the country, telling them that all
they required was employment, but that they would not
work under Is. 6d. per day; and on Monday night they
pulled down the houses of four farmers residing in the
neighbourhood of Cappa, who were obnoxious to them.
The rumour rife in town yesterday was that the
peasantry had gone to all the farmers' and gentlemen's
houses in search of arms, and were determined to return
to the town to take summary vengeance on the military.
However, the magistrates have taken every precaution
to preserve the peace, and another troop of Dragoons has
been sent for to Clonmel, whose arrival is hourly ex-
pected. They have also taken the precaution, that when
any large number of peasantry are seen together they
be immediately dispersed, and they will not allow a con-
course of people to enter the town under any pretext.
At present everything wears a tranquil aspect, and busi-
ness has been resumed, but it is hard to tell how long it
will continue so. What makes the attack made on Lord
Stuart, at Clashmore, the more unaccountable is, that his
Lordship has lately added sixty labourers to the number
of those who have been heretofore engaged in his em-
ployment.
Since writing the above I have been informed the.t a
troop of Hussars arrived at two o'clock this morning
tain Sibthorp's company of the Ist Dragoons, which

affair got up by a number of women who assembled on the
quay, where a quantity of wheat was shipping on board
a vessel called the Anne, of Liverpool, from the stores
of Mr. J. Donnell. Having thrown the plank by which
the men entered the vessel with the corn into the sea,
they refused to permit the shipment to be proceeded
with.

In Youghal the greatest order and decorum exist,
and the town is placarded with handbills calling on the
people to maintain peace and order, and promising that
adequate employment will be provided for them; also
informing them that large imports of Indian corn are
daily expected from America, which, on arrival, will
have a depressing influence on the markets. Between
Youghal and Killeagh several new roads have already
been struck out, and hundreds of labourers are actively
employed thereon, so that affairs wear a more cheering
aspect than at the commencement of last week. Indian
meal still maintains a very high price, being Is. 10d.
per stone in Dungarvan.—Cork Reporter.
The Ballyshannon Herald contains the following par-
ticulars of the disturbance in Sligo:--
"We have this morning received a communication
from our Sligo correspondent, which gives a frightful
account of the state of that town; he states that on
Monday last a vast crowd of the peasantry assembled in
town, and walked through the streets in a menacing
manner. As a large quantity of cakes was conveying
to a shop of Mr. Martin's, they were rushed on and
speedily devoured. They then went from one baker's
shop to another, and carried off the contents of each. As
Mr. Moses Monds' bread cart was passing with bread to
his retailers, it was attacked and speedily emptied.
Several provision stores were also plundered. On Tues-
day they again paraded the streets with a long pole, and
a loaf suspended from it—they took some bread, &c.—
and separated early. On Wednesday they again assem-
bled, but the mayor had arrangements made to prevent
outrage, and they peacefully dispersed. The landed
proprietors are using every effort to give employment to
the working classes; and many of those who assembled
as if wanting work have constant employment if they
choose to work, but they prefer plunder to industry.
How such things will end no one can tell."
Respecting the county of Cavan, the Anglo- Celt, a
Conservative paper, contains the following:—
" There is too large a number, we regret to think, of
outcasts from society, who, under the cognomen of Molly
Maguires,' assume a power over a misguided portion of
the peasantry, which enables them, through the sym-
pathy of some and the fear of others, to perpetrate their
crimes with impunity. These itinerant ruffians make
the existing distress an excuse for their acts of violence ;
and although we can positively state that their illegal
conduct is not by any means the result of the lamentable
sufferings of the poor, but, on the contrary, of their own
depravity, we fear that unless vigorous measures be at
once resorted to, their depredations will become so nu-
merous and daring as to assume an insurrectionary cha-
racter. The police should at present be particularly
vigilant at fairs, markets, &c.,as the fact that the offences
we complain of are generally perpetrated immediately
subsequent to such gatherings leads us to think that they
are oftenest concocted there. The best possible proof
(if, indeed, proof were wanting) that the resident
peasantry of this county do not participate in these
offences, is to be found in the accounts of robberies,
wherein it is clearly evident that it is the poorer class
themselves who are the sufferer's."
STATE OF TIPPERARY.

The Tipperary Vindicator of this day contains the
following :
" MYSTERIOUS AND AWFUL MURDER.—It is our sad
duty to record one of the mcst mysterious, and at the
same time one of the most atrocious murders, of which
this county his been the theatre for a long period, and
which was perpetrated in the broad noon of Wednesday,
on the person of a singularly inoffensive man, near Kil-
garvan, the residence of that excellent country gentle-
man, Solomon Cambie, Esq. The deceased, William
Latchford, and a man of the name of Hogan, were going
home from Kilgarvan about a quarter past twelve o'clock
at noon. Latchford had been for some years gatekeeper
at Belle Vue, the residence of Edward Biggs, Esq., and
he was employed also as tutor by some of the neigh-
bouring gentry, and, in fact, was returning from giving
lessons at Kilgarvan at the usual hour, on the day he
met his dismal death at the hands of the ruthless as-
sassin. He had gone on for some time, when Hogan
went a short way before him, and soon afterwards a man
jumped out of a lane which was near, and asked him
(Latchford) what hour of the day it Was. Latchford at
once told him, and no sooner had he done so than the
villain, who asked the hour, raised with both hands a
quarter-staff or spade handle, struck it violently across
the back part, of Latchford's neck, and instantly

knocked him down. When down the atrocious mis-
creant hit the prostrate poor man two other dreadful
blows across the left temple, which deprived him
of all consciousness, and at ten o'clock the
same night of life. The murderer walked off in tha
most deliberate manner; no clue has been discovered as
to the cause of the murder. Latchford was not only in
no way connected with land, but he was looked upon as
one of the most obliging and quiet individuals in the
entire neighbourhood, and was greatly regarded by the
country people generally, as well as by the gentry. That
he could have been mistaken for an obnoxious person at
the time is scarcely probable—we do not deem it pos-
sible. It was broad *noon, the sun shining strongly;
the ruffian who accosted him went quite close to bis
person, and, if he had ever seen him before, could not
be mistaken as to his identity. Hence the mystery that
pervades this most frightful crime, which has created a
deep sensation of disgust and horror far and wide.
After the inquest upwards of two.hundred of the neigh-
bouring people proceeded to the house where the body
lay, and by their sobs and tears and loud lamentations
showed how deeply they deplored the cruel fate of poor
Latchford. It is sincerely to be hoped, for the sake of
humanity, that no time shall be lost in looking out for

PRICE SD.

and in discovering the perpetrator of this desperate
deed of blood, which, we trust, shall soon meet with
its merited punishment. A verdict of ' Wilful murder
against some person unknown' was returned by the
jury."

- ATTACK ON MISS GLEESON, OF NEWTON.—An armed
party, consisting of seven or eight men, proceeded on
Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, to the residence
of Miss Gleeson, of Newton, within four miles of
Nenagh, in the direction of Portroe ; atter very con-
siderable exertions they obtained an entrance into the
house, by breaking in all the windows, and then thrust-
ing in and exhibiting their fire-arms, which so alarmed
the inmates that a male servant of the house, and the
brother-in-law of Miss Gleeson, a man of the name of
Mara, abandoned the position they occupied
in endeavouring to keep the door closed, when the Terry
Alts immediately secured an entrance, on which they
beat Mara severely—broke every article of furniture
and delf in the house, and observed that, if "Miss Glee-
son did not deal fairly by her brother, they would kill
all when next they came." They then decamped. It
appear that Miss Gleeson and her brother, Mr. Michael
Gleeson, have not been on good terms for some time in
consequence of the latter having been ejected from a
large farm which the form at present tenants.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—BIRR, OCT. 1. Mr. Neville,
clerk of petty sessions, was met on Wednesday night,
as he was driving into town accompanied by his wife, by
three men, who demanded that he should stand and
deliver what money he had in his possession. He gave
them all he had about him, namely, seven shillings.
They then demanded his watch, which he also handed
them, when the fellows decamped. There is but one
opinion entertained here, that if the Government do not
hasten on the execution of public works that have been
presented for at the last sessions, and employ the people,
the laws will be set at open defiance, and property will
lose its value.

ATTACKS AT CAPPARITE.—An armed parts, attacked
the house of a man named Dwyer, at Capparue, on
Wednesday night, and after posting sentinels on the
doors of two houses in the immediate vicinity, effected an
entrance ; when they searched for Dwyer, who, it seems,
has become obnoxious on account of land he has been
warned about, but not•finding him, they fired a blunder-
buss at two men who were in the house, one of whom
they wounded in a shocking manner, the other partially
escaping. After leaving a message for Dwyer, which it
were difficult not to understand, they went off.
