THE REGISTRATION.

WHOLESALE PROTECTIONIST OBJECTIONS.
(From a Correspondent.)
THE ENSUING REGISTRATION.—The policy which the
Protectionists are pursuing in London, in objecting al-
most indiscriminately to the Liberal claimants for votes,
is being pursued by the same party in other parts of the
country. In North Durham, about 500 objections have
been served upon Liberals, that being the number of
claimants ; and in North Northumberland, where there
are about 80 Liberal claims, objections are taken to nearly
the whole of them. To defeat these proceedings, a meet-
ing of the united Liberal and Free-trade party was held
at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Thursday evening, when ar-
rangements were entered into which will secure the pre-
sence of competent agents in the Registration Courts
in the counties of Northumberland and Durham. A
large increase has taken place in the list of voters for
Newcastle during the past year, and the majority of the
new voters are free traders.
[The watching Committee of the League should see
to this, and if necessity require, it should take imme-
diate measures to summon a meeting of the League to
' consider the subject. We would advise every member of
the League who has been objected to immediately to
address a letter to the " Watching Committee," re-
questing them to convene a meeting of the League, such
letter to be addressed to the care of George Wilson, Esq.,
late chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, Manchester.

PLAN OF THE PARISH OF TWICKENHAM,:IIIDDLE•
SEX, WITH BOOK OF REFERENCE.—IIIthis plan—which
is drawn on a very large scale, and for the accuracy the
name of Mr. Warren is alone a sufficient guarantee—
every mansion, house, field, and road is clearly marked,
and its boundaries distinctly laid down. Each com-
partment thus marked off is distinguished by a number,
and by looking at the number in the book of reference
we find the name of the proprietor, the description of
the property, and the quantity of land it occupies. The
whole is executed in the most artist-like manner, and it
reflects great credit on the accuracy, diligence, and
artist-like taste of its designer, Mr. Warren.
REAL AFFECTION FOR A HOME SECRETARY.—
Rambling one day in a beautiful and secluded spot, at the
time when the nation was fearfully agiteted about the
Government opening private letters, and Sir James Gra-
ham, then Home Secretary, in the enjoyment of un•
mitigated abuse, I approached a magnificent abode of
simple, rural nature, near where sat an aged woman of
venerable and religious appearance; a daughter, in mo-
dest, neat attire, had her head upon her shoulder, full of
grief and devotion. I neared unseen, unheard, and un-
heeded. I heard a tremulous voice, in the most sincere
tone I ever remember before, exclaim, " Graham, may
God bless you, Sir James Graham!" which was heart-
feltly reiterated by the lily upon her shoulder, followed
by a burst of unsophisticated and overwhelming grief.
A tremor came o'er me: I felt that I had unthinkingly'
trod where I ought not to have done. I was hurt and
affected. A few minutes before, I had replaced a news-
paper in my pocket which is read by the world, and,
which contained a fierce onslaught against. Sir James
Graham, comparing him to all the fiends Imaginable,
and here, in a retired nook, was a simple rustic blessing
his name and invoking God's blessing also. The next
day I discovered that Sir James had recommended her
son to the Queen for a free pardon, and he had that day
returned from a penal settlement to " bring down her
gray hairs with pleasure to the grave." Had Sir James,
thought I, heard that solemn and sincere bened! ction, it
would have compensated fur more than the writer had
asserted who lay snugly ensconced in my coat pocket.

THE SEASON.—AS a proof :of the approximation of
our climate this summer to that of eastern countries, it
may be worth recording, that our island has beep visited
by a swarm of those destructive insects, the grey tb.retwwno
