THE REGISTRATIONS.
MIDDLESEX.
Mr. Shadwell held his Court yesterday at the Vice-
Chancellor's Court, Lincoln's Inn.
Mr. W. H. James and Mr. George Fitch attended
for the Liberals, and Mr. J. Payne for the Conser-
vatives.

The Rev. H. G. Watkins, claiming in the St. Mary
Bothaw list, under the provisions of the -Fire Act, was
objected to by the Liberals. A second qualification was
attempted to be shown, that of an interest in the burial
fees, but which failed.
Mr. James applied for a case of appeal, which was
granted; and the caso of the Rev. Mr. Roberts was con-
solidated with it.

A claim appeared upon the list, made by a Mr. Had-
land, but no one appeared to support it.
Mr. Payne complained that he had been put to the
trouble for the last three years of objecting to this claim,
which was still persevered in; he should, therefore, ask
for expenses against the claimant.
Mr. James observed that it should first be proved
that Mr. Hadland had made a claim; the claim might
have been sent in by Mr. Payne for the purpose of get-
ting costs.
Mr. SHADWELL said without it being proved that it
was a vexatious claim, he could not allow costs.
The greater portion of the time of the Court was oc-
cupied in taxing the overseers' bills, long arguments and
discussions arising between the overseers and Barrister
upon the items inserted therein.—The Court then ad-
journed.

Mr. Miller says, that the Edinburgh and Perth
project will be an excellent paying concern, and that
there are no engineering difficulties whatever. But did
any one yet ever hear of an engineer who gave a con-
trary opinion of a line which he was employed to survey
and which he was to be employed to make ?

INCENDIARY FIRE AT THE TOWN HALL, SIIEF-
FIELD.—About half-past one o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing, a fire was discovered in one of the cells underneath
the Town Hall. An alarm was instantly given, and one
of the engines belonging to the Sheffield Fire Office was
on the spot before a score of pt-rsons had time to con-
gregate, and the fire was subdued before it had extended
beyond the cell in which it originated. It appears that a
man named Thomas Gillman had been brought in drunk,
a short time before, charged with creating a disturbance
at Mrs. Askey's, in Watson's-walk, and was placed in a
cell unde' the office, usually occupied by disorderlies. He
had not king taken possession of his quarters when the
office-keeper heard him bawling out that he was cold,
and wantud a fire ; and on visiting him found that the
straw in the cell wr.s in a blaze. The drunken ircen-
diary (o ho had, it appears, set fire to the straw with
luciter matches){ and four ether prisoners from adjoin-
ing cells, ot ere conveyed to Mr. Fordhem's, the Black
Rock, and left in charge of officers. It was a fortu-
nate circumstance that the police had the presence of
mind to remove the prisoners from the locality where
the fire originated, or the consequences might have
proved fatal, owing to the suffocating smoke which filled
their cells and other places on the ground floor.
