THE MEDITERRANEAN.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIG uT.—The Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship
Pottinger, Captain E. Cooper, arrived here at seven
P.M. this evening, bringing the East India, China,
and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieutenant
Whipple, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are—Alexandria, Sept. 9 ; Malta, Sept.
13 ; Gibraltar, Sept. 17.
The freight list comprises specie (value 1,000/.
sterling), 1 case jewellery, 6 cases shawls, 11 casks
wine, 4 boxes orchids, 2 cases figs, 2 cases succades,
9 cases opium, 8 bores tortoiseshell, 20 bales silk and
6 cases silk, 8 bales elephants' tusks, 246 barrels
gum, 9 cases senna, and 121 packages of general
merchandise.

There are 56 passengers, among whom are Major
Hill and Dr. Cavan, from Calcutta ; General Wilson,

C.B. ; Lieutenants Applegath and Cooper, from Ma-
dras ; Lieutenants Partrige, R.N., and liollowes,
R.N., from her Majesty's ships Fox and Pilot ; Majors
Russell and Phillips, from Hong-Kong ; Captain
Watson, from Ceylon, &c.
The Pottinger has experienced homewards strong
head winds between Alexandria and Malta, but from
Gibraltar five weather, and steamed the distance from

•
Malta to Gibraltar in 90 hours, averaging 11 knots,
against the usual Mediterranean current. From Gib-
raltar the run has occupied 4 days 15 hours, averag-
ing 10 knots, notwithstanding head winds during a
part of the voyage.

The news fiorii India and China has been anticipated
via Marseilles.

Her M-,jesty's frigate Phtcton was at Malta.
At Alexandria was the French brig Mercurie. The
Egyptian fleet was getting into fighting condition, and
the land defences were being repaired, and every pre-
paration appeared to be making to meet the expected
crisis of affairs with the Porte, the aspect of which was
anything but peaceful.
Her Majesty's screw-frigate Encounter was at Gib-
raltar, proceeding to the eastward to join Sir W.
Parker's fleet, now on a cruise.

On the 14th inst., 240 miles west of Malta, the
Pottinger spoke the English barque San Francisco,
10 days from Constantinople, steering west; on the
18th exchanged colours with the brig Llan Rumney,
90 miles south-east of Cape St. Vincent, steering
south•east; and on the 20tb spoke the steamer Mon-
trose off Cape Finisterre, steering for Vigo.
Our Gibraltar correspondent writes as follows :
" On Sunday last, the Encounter, Captain Gordon,
parted company with the Vengeance, Captain Lord
Russell, at about HO miles from this rock ; but,
owing to the prevalence of the easterly wind, the
liner has not yet made her appearance. The En-
counter has coaled, and is only waiting for the Ven-
geance to make her appearance, when they will both
proceed to Malta. The steam-yacht Vesta, Lord New-
borough's, has likewise coaled, and will, it is said, pro-
ceed along the eastern coast of Spain, and thence to
Malta."—Times.

REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. T. Y. M‘Christic, the barrister, held a court
yesterday, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of revis-
ing the lists of the liverymen and householders of the
city of London.

There were on the register of last year the names
of 7,312 liverymen and 13,230 householders, together
20,542 electors. Of these, 252 liverymen and 1,539
householders have, by reason of deaths and removals,
been omitted from the register of this year; while,
on the other band, the names of 343 new liverymen
and 2,555 new householders have been inserted in
thin year's list. _ _ _

There are, on the part of the Liberals, 622 objec-
tions and 134 claims ; and, on the part of the Con-
servatives, 734 objections and 11 claims. Mr. Sidney
Smith represented the former interest, and Mr. 11. E.
Brown the latter.

Mr. Thomas Clarke was described on the list as
residing in Albany-street, Regent's-park, but he was
objected to on the ground that be did not reside
there, but at Balham-hill, which was more than seven
miles from Guildhall.

Mr. Clarke said be had a residence at Baiham-hill,
and also one at Albany-street, where he ate and slept
every day, except Sundays.
The BARRISTER at once disallowed the objection,
and awarded Mr. Clarke 20s. costs for having been
put to the trouble of explaining so frivolous a point.
Thomas Mortimore, of the Spectacle-makers' Com-
pany, was objected to on the ground of non-residence
within seven miles of Guildhall.

Mr. Sewell (clerk to the company) said that Mor-
titnore had been in the service of the late Alderman
Johnson for many years, and was now the coachman
of that gentleman's widow, in whose family he re-
sided. Mrs. Johnson had a house in town, which she
occupied during a great portion of the year.
Mr. S. Smith said the residence was not a continu-
ous one, as required by the Act of Parliament, and
therefore the vote could not be maintained.

The BARRISTER concurred in that opinion, and the
name was expunged.
The whole of the lists of the livery companies were
revised, and it was arranged that the householders'
lists for the wards of Aldersgate, within and without,
Aldgate and Billingsgate, and 13assishaw and Cole-
man-street, should be proceeded with to-morrow (this
day).
Mr. M'CuRIsTIE intimated that the Court would
not sit on Thursday, as the attendance of the paro-
chial officers would be required at the revision of the
lists for the county of Middlesex, which would take
place on that day.

REPRESENTATION OF WINDSOR.—'We are autho-
rised to state that there is not the slightest authority for the
rumour which we last week gave from a Dublin paper, to
the effect that Mr. Hatchell, our present very excellent re-
presentative, was about to be made one of the Judges of the
Queen's 13ench in Ireland, in succeSsion to Mr. Justice
Perrin. We ,hear, from the same authority, that there is
no intention, at present, on the part of Mr. Justice Perrin,
to retire from his judicial duties; and that our Right Hon.
Member is likely, for some time forward to hold the *office
of her Majesty's Attorney-General for Ireland.— Windsor
