The widcnicg of the road on West Cliff is nearly
completed, and will soon be ready for the public It is
an immense improvement of that part of the town, and
must be extended to the eastward as soon as the funds
of the Commissioners will permit. The battery, also, is
now in the way; but we understand it to be the inten-
tion of the Government to make considerable alterations
when the town works are completed.
The Registration Court for this town and county
opens on Monday ; and from what we hear, it is pro-
bable there will be greater excitement than on any
former occasion. A great number of objections have
been taken on both sides, and the parties are both very
determined. The object of the Protectionists is to
narrow the franchise as much as possible ; that of the
Free Traders to extend it to the fullest extent the law
admits.—Brighton Herald.

PUGILISM.
CHAMPIONSHIP.—Perry, the Tipton Slasher, bas ad-
dressed a letter, challenging Caunt to a pugilistic tournament
for 2001. aside, and adds that Bendigo will be in town next
week with the belt, which he has announced his intention
of presenting to the winner, should there be a contest, or to
that man who shall be ready to meet all corners, without
being able to find a customer. Caunt is understood to sti-
pulate that the stake should be 3001. a-side, and that the
affair shall coma off upon a stage. In reply, it is urged,
that it was formally settled, some years since, that the holder
of the title of Champion should be compelled to do battle for
the minimum stake of 200/., or forfeit his claim to be so
called ; and furthermore, that to propose a stage at the
present day is a palpable evasion of the encounter, as its con-
struction would be a signal of defiance to the magistrates in
any county where its fixture took place. These seem to be
be valid objections, and time will shortly show which of the
pugilistic candidates is in earnest in his proposal of a match.

AEROSTATION EXTRAORDINARY.—Yesterday even-
ing being the last night of the season at Cremorne
Gardens, the proprietor, Mr. Ellis, engaged the " Royal
Nassau" balloon for the occasion. As the gas could not
be provided by the Imperial Gas Company, who required
three days' notice, the proprietor applied to the London
Gas Company, at Vauxhall, to fill the balloon with gas.
Their consent having been obtained, about twelve o'clock
it was conveyed there, and in the course of three hours
it had sufficient gas to secure its ascent. It was then,
by means of ropes (Mr. C. Green, the veteran aeronaut,
Mr. Van Buren, and six others, being in the car), taken
in tow by the Starlight and Childe Harold steamers, for
the purpose of being steamed to Cremorne Gardens. On
reaching Vauxhall-bridge the ropes were slackened,
upon which the huge machine gradually ascended and
passed over the bridge, the same course being adopted at
Battersea-bridge, when in about an hour's time it arrived
The extraordinary passage of a balloon
excited great astonishment. On it being
grround, the company received it with loud
alongap tl
atcheedt gardens.hine
trhivee
cheers. In consequence of this delay, an ascent did not
occur till about half past six o'clock, at which time there
were eight gentlemen in the car, the balloon, from being
saturated with wet, not being able to sustain any more.
The aerial machine arose during a heavy shower of rain,
in 'a north-easterly direction, and was soon out of sight.
ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.—The London Gazette
of last night contains several addresses that had been
presented to the Queen on the occasion of her Majesty's
late visit to Cornwall. That from the inhabitants of the
ancient borough of Fowey contains the following pas-
sages :—" Five hundred years ago, the gallant ships of
Fowey conveyed an armament to the siege of Calais,
under the command of their brave townsman Frisart
Beggs, more numerous and formidable than the grand
harbour of Plymouth could then supply. Though time
and circumstances have since reduced our ability and
importance, we still beg to assure your Majesty that the
loyal inhabitants of Fowey and its vicinity will always be
ready to support the mild and maternal government of
your Majesty with zealous and affectionate fidelity. And
we intreat the Giver of all power and pre-eminence
among mer., by whom alone Queens reign and Princes
decree justice, to bless your Majesty and your Royal
Consort with long life and prosperity, and to establish
your ro) al progeny upon the throne of these realms to
the latest generation.
The business of nations is like the business of indi-
viduals ; it requires the employment of stipendiaries to
carry it on for the good of the master and his family.
That is the only object and end of management, whether
of a family or of a nation.—Hampden's History of the
, English Aristocracy:
