THE APPREHENDED FAMINE.
FORM OF PUBLIC PR ANER.
Ilis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, agreeh/y
.0 the order of the Privy Council, has issued the 'follow-
ng form of prayer to Almighty God fur relief from the
dearth and scarcity now existing in parts of the lanned
Kingdom, owing to the failure of s,ine of the crops of
the present year. To be read in all ehurele-s and ehapels
of England and Wales, on Sunday, the 11th of October,
and the two following Sundays:—
" A FORM OF PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD.
" 0 God, at whose bidding the earth, which stutaineth
the life of man, hath withholden in parts of these i:,lands
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 poor and the needy in their present neces-
sities, and to give and preserve to our use the fruits of
the earth in all its seasons.
" But whatsoever may be Thy pleasure concerning us,
give us grace to receive Thy dispensations, whether of
judgment or mercy, with entire submission to Thy will;
endeavouring to abate Thy displeasure by repentance,
and showing forth our sense of Thy goodness by faith-
fully keeping Thy commandments.
" Of ourselves we are unable either to will or to do
that which is acceptable in Thy sight. We therefbre
pray Thee so to open our hearts to the influences of Thy
good Spirit, that, showing compassion and merely each
man to his neighbour, and bearing the burdens one of
another, we may obtain of Thy favour the supply of our
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 immediitely before
the Litany; and when the Litany shall not be read, be-
fore the prayer for all conditions of men.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning the Revis-
ing 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, ttat
he held this place to have a vote for the City, and that
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 (*ice said that
he kept the room fur the purpose of protecting his vote.
Mr. Brown said, that Mr. Meyrick wished him to
state that that was not the case; that lie did not occupy
the place for the purpose of protecting hi; vote, but tent
he occupied it for use. That appeared to be the men
ground for disallowing the vote, and he called the atten-
tion of the Cous't to it for this purpose, that if the case
should be opeCied next year it should not have nia in-
jurious c ffi,et.
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 reterred to by Mr. Browne was a strong fact in
the case, but he did not think it would alter the thvisien,
for he had; made a similar decision in Mr. Smith's case,
in which there was not that fact. The real ground fer
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 nob been so
severely commented upon by the Court ho wound take
a case to the Common Pleas at his own expense, for he
thought that without that there wowld be a qualiCeation.
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.
