EAST SURREY.

The Revising Barrister for the eastern division of the
county of Surrey (Mr. S. C. Fish) held his court on
Wednesday, at the French Horn and Half-moon Inn, at
Wandsworth, when the lists for the following parishes
were disposed of:—Barnes, Merton, Mortlake, Putney,
Tooting, Wimbledon, and Wandsworth.
Mr. T. Jeans attended on the part of the New East
Surrey Reform Registration Society, Mr. Meymott for
the Conservatives, and Mr. Russell for the Free-traders.
Among the objections, one was made to the vote of
Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce on the ground of insuf-
ficient description. The error was amended, and the
vote retained.

The vote of Lord W. Fitzroy was objected to on the
same grounds. The required amendment having been
made,

Lord W. Fitzroy applied for his expenses.
The REVISING BARRISTER, acting on the rule he had
laid down in several previous cases, refused to grant
them ; where an error was rectified and an amendment
made, he did not consider the objection either frivolous
or vexatious.

One objection made by the Conservatives failed from
tbe impossibility of deciphering the signature of the ob-
jector appended to the notice ; the Barrister, the clerk,
the solicitors, all tried upon it their not unpractised skill
in such matters, but the hieroglyphic defied alike dissec-
tion and conjecture ; it was therefore considered by the
Court as a mark or scratch and not a name, and the ob-
jection overruled.
The list for the parish of Battersea will be taken to-
morrow.
The Revising Barrister of the eastern division of
Surrey sat yesterday at the French Horn and Half-
moon Inn, Wandsworth. The list taken was that for the
parish of Battersea. The objections were nearly all
matters of form, and made for the sake of correction.
The result of the day's proceedings was not very mate-
rial. Of 33 objections made by the Liberals 7 were
sustained ; the Conservatives objected to 31, and sus-
tained 4.
The Court rose at an early hour.

RE-OPENING OF VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This popu-
lar place of public amusement will (we are informed)
re-open this (Friday) evening, under the sole manage-
ment and for the benefit of Mr. Robert Wardell, when a
series of novel and varied entertainments will be pre-
sented to the patrons of the " Royal property." The
orchestra will consist of a hundred performers, including
all the leading musical talent of the day (under the
direction of Mr. Alexander Lee), and a number of popu-
lar vocalists have proffered their aid to Mr. Wardell.
Mr. Carter, the "lion king," with the celebrated Mam-
moth horse, will appear in the circle ; also Tourniaire's
famed troupe of equestrians. The illuminations will
surpass in brilliancy all former displays, and will in-
clude many new and appropriate devices; and there will
also be a double display of fireworks by Darby, artist to
the gardens. On Wednesday next, Vauxhall will close
for the season, with a grand masquerade and Neapolitan
carnival _

MEETING Or MASONS .—L as t night a public
meeting of the stone-masons was held at the Temper-
ance-hall, Waterloo-road, which was completely filled.
Mr. John Shaw (a mason) was called to the chair, and
congratulated the meeting on the prospects before them.
From the report of the subscriptiens received in aid of
the late struggle at Liverpool, it appeared that the total
was, in voluntary contributions, 611. 15s. 6d., and from a
benefit at the Liverpool Theatre, 741. ss. 10d. ; a profit
of 221. 19s. 6d.—Robert M‘Donald proposed the first re-
solution, " That Trades' Unions are highly conducive
to the social, moral, and intellectual improvement of the
working classes, and that it is the imperative duty of
every mason, in particular, to unite in forwarding the
objects of tke Masons' Association."—The resolution
was carried unanimously amidst loud cheers.—Joseph
Wood proposed the second resolution :—" That this
meeting pledges itself, individually and collectively, to
use every legitimate and constitutional effort to forward
the objects of this meeting, believing that Trades' Unions
are the only lever that will ultimately elevate the work-
ing classes to that pre-eminent position that they ought
to occupy among the producers of the wealth of this
great empire." This and the other resolutions were also
carried unanimously.
FOREIGN PROVISIONS.—Yesterday afternoon the
steam-ship Magnet, from Dieppe, arrived alongside the
St. Katherine Dock Steam Packet Wharf, with 100
oxen, 400 sheep, and about 80 calves. The Rapid, from
Harlingen, had on board 140 oxen, above 500 sheep,
and about 20 calves. The Antwerpen, from Antwerp,
also arrived with 1,500 baskets of walnuts. The steam-
ship Batavia, from Hamburgh, came alongside the.
same wharf on Wednesday afternoon, with 70 head of
cattle, 73 sheep, about 20 calves, and 100 baskets of
walnuts.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT ETON COLLEGE.—On Wednes-
day afternoon a plumber, named Sargent, who resided
at Upton-cum- Chalvey, was engaged in repairing the
leads on the roof of one of the master 's houses in Keater -
lane, Eton College. The height was nearly sixty feet,
and as the ladder used was not long enough, a temporary
platform was erected at the top of it, where a second
ladder twenty feet long was placed, but not secured by
lashings, the unfortunate man was at the summit of this
when his weight overbalanced the ladder, and he was
precipitated to the ground, and, falling upon his head,
death was instantaneous. The deceased has left a widow
and six children to lament his loss.

QUICKSILVER.-A vessel arrived at one of the
wharfs near London-bridge, !rota Seville, had an entire
cargo, comprising the large quantity of 3,000 flasks of
qnicksilver, consigned to the celebrated firm of Roths-
child and Son.
