Ilis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, agreeably

" A FORM OF PRAYER TO 'ALMIGHTY GOD.
" 0 God, at whose bidding the earth, which sustaineth
the life of man, hath withholden in parts of these islands
the wonted provision of food, and turned abundance into
scarcity, withdraw, we beseech Thee, the judgment of
which we are justly afraid, that the poor perish not by
famine.

" We acknowledge, 0 Lord, that by our strifes and
divisions, misuse of Thy gifts, and forgetfulness of Thy
manifold mercies, we have justly deserved punishment.
We have sinned; we have grievously sinned against
Thee. Yet knowing that Thou art full of compassion,
we beseech Thee to pardon the offences of Thy people,
to relieve the peor and the needy.in their present neces-
sities, and to give and preserve to our use the fruits'fa
the earth in mall its seasons. .•-.. •• •
" But Whatsoever may be Thy pleasure concerning he,

wants, and with hearts knit together in brotherly love,
may partake of Thy bounties in peace and contentment,
to the honour and praise of Thy name, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen."
The prayer is ordered to be read immediately before

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
At half-past ten o'clock yesterday. morning the nevi's-
mg Barrister resumed the revision of the lists of house-
holders of the city of London. The list for the day
consisted of the names of persons resident in the parish
of St. Botolph Without, Bishopsgate. Shortly after the
sitting of the court,
Mr. Browne wished to make an observation with re-
spect to Mr. Meyrick's case, which had been decided by
the Revising Barrister on Saturday. Mr. Meyrick had
no intention of appealing to the Court of Common Pleas,
but he wished to say that in the judgment given by the
Court there was a remark made which was not sustained
by the evidence read to Mr. Meyrick, and that was, that
he held this place to have a vote for the City, and that
I was not the fact.
The BARRISTER said, he had this note in his book of
the statement made by Mrs. Sarah Baker, one of the
witnesses. She stated that Mr. Meyrick once said that
he kept the room for the purpose of protecting his vote.
Mr. Brown said, that Mr. Meyriek wished him to
state that that was not the case; that he did not occupy
the place for the purpose of protecting his vote, but that
he occupied it for use. That appeared to be the main
ground for disallowing the vote, and he called the atten-
tion of the Court to it for this purpose, that if the case
should be opened next year it should not have an in-
jurious effect.
Mr. Meyrick said that he did not recollect having
ever made the statement imputed to him by Sarah Baker.
The BARRISTER observed that he certainly thought
the point referred to by Mr. Browne was a strong fact
the case, but he did not think it would alter the decision,
for he had made a similar decision in Mr. Smith's esee,
in which there was not that fact. The real ground for
the decision was, that the place was not used or in-
tended to be used for the purpose of residence, but
merely for a temporary occupation when the party was
in town.
Mr. Browne said that if that point had not been so
severely commented upon by the Court he would take
a case to the Common Pleas at his own expense, for he
thought that without that there would be a qualification.
The list of the parish of St. Botolph was revised, thereby
finishing the ward of Bishopsgate. No case requiring
particular notice came before the Court. The following
is the result : Failed or
Sustained. Withdrawn.

FALL OF A MANUFACTORY AND Loss OF LIFE.
—Between eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday morning
the inhabitants of Burfield were alarmed by a loud crash
followed by cries for aid, occasioned by the falling in of
a building used as a rope mat manufactory. The build-
ing consisted of one large room on the basement, and
another immediately over it. From ten to fifteen per-
sons were usually employed in the upper room. In the
rear of the factory is a plot of ground which has been
excavated to a considerable depth for building purposes,
and the wall of the manufactory next to the excavated
ground having given way, nearly the entire building
fell into the hollow. he scene that presented itself to
the lookers-on was heartrending in the extreme. Many
of the workpeople were lying around, partially buried
amongst the falling rubbish. A number of persons were
quickly engaged in extricating the suflbrers, several of
whom were conveyed to the infirmary seriously injured.
The bodies of a man and a girl, both quite dead, were
afterwards dug out of the ruins. It has been ascertained
that there were eleven persons at work in the manufac-
tory when the accident occurred—namely, four men,
three women, and four children. Nine out of the num-
ber are more or less injured. One man has a broken
leg and bead severely injured, and another of the men
several ribs fractured and both arms dislocated. Two
of the women and one of the children have sustained
some severe injuries, but the remainder of the persons
who were within the building have escaped with compa-
ratively but slight injury.
EXECUTION AT PARIS.—On Friday morning, Jean
Petry, the waiter at a coffee-house at St. Ouen, who, it
will be remembered, was last month tried and found
guilty of the murder of his mistress, after having at-
' tempted to violate her person, and afterwards robbing
the house, was executed at the Barriere St. Jacques. Ile
retained to the last moment the same revolting indiffer-
ence which he has evinced ever since the committal of
his threefold crime, and when ascending the steps of the
scaffold he stopped for a moment, and coolly called out
in German to an acquaintance in the crowd, and asked
him whether his (Petry's) uncle was present. Almost
the entire commune of St. Ouen was present at the exe-
cution.
