THE REGISTRATION.

CHELMSFORD.—The Barristers are proceeding with the
revision of claims in the two divisions of this county. From
statements which we have seen of the objections made by
the Reformers and Conservatives, and of the numbers men-
tioned, we believe there is not any material difference be-
tween the parties in this respect.—Essex Herald.
INVERNESS.—The registrations in the county are favour-
able to the Conservative interest ; in the burgh the Libe-
ral party has received such additional strength, as to ren-
der their success, at the next election, almost a matter of
certainty.—lnverness Courier.
COUNTY OF Ross.—The result of the Registration
Courts in this county is favourable to the Reform interest,
there being a majority of fifteen in favour of Mackenzie of
Seaforth, the Liberal candidate.
COUNTY OF CAITHNESS.—After a keen contest the Li-
berals have enrolled nearly two to one, the numbers for
Mr. Trail being twenty-seven, for Mr. Sinclair fourteen.
Mr. Trail's election is considered certain, in the event of a
dissolution.

REGISTRATION SHILLING.-At Leeds, on Friday, Mr.
Clarkson, the Barrister appointed to revise the list of voters
for that borough, gave a decision to the effect that it is
not necessary to pay the registration shilling.
BARRISTERS' COURT FOR NORTH WARWICKSHIRE, BIR-
MINGHAM, SEPT. 21.—The Barristers appointed to revise
the lists for the northern division of the county of War-
wick, Messrs. Basevi and Kenyon, commenced their circuit
this day in Birmingham. During the year the Reformers
have put upwards of 800 new claims upon the register, for
this division of the county alone, and the Conservatives
upwards of 300. The Reformers have objected to 500,
and the Conservatives to 800 votes, and the overseers to
100. The Barristers took their seats at eleven o'clock, and
proceeded to hear cases, but none of any interest was de-
cided in the course of the day.

The Duke of Dorset has left Harley-street, for his
seat, Drayton-house, Northamptonshire. His Grace and
the family have gone into mourning for the Hon. Mrs. Sack-
ville Germain, Lady of the Hon. George Germain, the
Duke's only brother and heir presumptive.

The Duke of Buckingham has found it necessary to
contradict a report that Avington Park and the rest of the
Chandos estate, near Winchester, had been disposed of to
a London banker.

The Earl of Devon, Viscount Courtenay, of Pow-
derhan Castle, is putting that delapidated mansion in tho-
rough repair. The late Earl, who recently died in Paris,
where he resided many years, had neglected the family
mansion;which is built in one of the most picturesque situa-
tions in England, overlooking the river Exe, and the finest
part of Devonshire. The present Earl has determined to
restore the Castle to its original state, and, in future, to re-
side there.

H. Elphinstone, Esq., M. P., for Hastings, is
labouring under severe illness at Windmill Hill.
DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL AT GREENOCK.—
Although, as we are informed, no answer has yet been re-
ceived from Mr. O'Connell, yet it is confidently expected
he will accept of the invitation to honour Greenock with
his presence. This intended festival, like those elsewhere,
has it appears already attracted the notice of friends at a
distance, as we learn that numerous applications, particu-
larly from Paisley, have been made for tickets. We like-

wise understand, that in the event of Mr. O'Connell's ac-
ceptance of the invitation, it is in contemplation to have a
soiree instead of dinner, and to devote the surplus funds to
some charitable institution.—Greenock Intelligencer.
The appointment of Clerk of the Journals of the
House of Lords is worth about 2,000/. per annum.

It is extremely probable, in consequence of Mr.
Alderman Copeland's Tory votes in the late Session of
Parliament, that Alderman Harmer will be set up in oppo-
sition to him as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, on Mi-
chaelmas-day next. If a poll be demanded, there is very
little doubt of the election of the latter gentleman.
It is said that Mr. Osbaldiston has got Covent-
garden Theatre. The prices are to be 7s. and 4s. the
boxes, 2s. the pit, and Is. the gallery.

A meeting of the Directors of the London and
Blackwall Railway was held yesterday at the office of the
Company, when several resolutions were agreed to in fur-
therance of the object proposed.

PORT OF GLOUCESTER.—A piece of land near
the docks, that sold for 2,5001. sixteen years ago, realised a
few days since 16,0001.

HAPPY DAYS.—A paper was found after the
death of Abderama 111., one of the Moorish Kings of Spain,
who died at Cordova in 961, after a reign of .50 years, with
these words written by himself :—" Fifty years have passed
since I was Caliph. I have enjoyed riches, honours, and
pleasures ; Heaven has showered upon me all the gifts that
man could desire. In this long space of apparent felicity,
I have kept an account of how many happy days I have
passed ; their number is 14. • Consider, then, mortals, what
is grandeur, what is the world, and what is life ?"

The proprietors of the Emerald steamer have come
to a determination to resist the payment of the Margate
Pier dues, which, notwithstanding a most profitable season,
the Pier Company.keep up at the rate of Is. 4d. per head
for every individual landed from the steamers. The Emerald,
rather than pay after that rate, carries her Margate passen-
gers to Ramsgate Pier, where they land free, and are sent
in coaches to Margate, a distance of four miles, at the ex-
pense of the Emerald.

A correspondent of the United States Gazette says
seven-eighths of the Baltimoreans looked on the late riots
with perfect indifference !

The Commissioners for inquiring into the affairs of
the Post-office are now engaged in an investigation relative
to the steam-packet establishments, and have directed their
Secretary, accompanied by a naval officer, to make a survey
of the different stations, for the pUrpose of collecting infor-
mation on the spot, and inquiring into the present system
of management.—Falmouth Packet.

" Next to the satisfaction," says a modern tourist,
"of being applauded, is that of being abused." Such a
morbid ambition for notice, adds his critic, at any rate re-
sembles that of a man who writes libels merely to stand the
public gaze and being in the pillory, rather than continue
the respectable but obscure blockhead he was born.

According to accounts from Hayti, a considerable
diminution in the commerce of the Republic had occurred
last year, compared with that of the preceding, the imports
amounting only to 2,117,200 gourdes (the gourde is worth
rather more than half-a-crown) against 4,813,300 gourdes
in 1833 ; and the exports only 1,822,900 gourdes against
4,500,000 in the preceding year. The falling-off has been
generally in the commerce with England and the Hanseatic
towns.

CARRIER PIGEONS.—When they find themselves
at full liberty, they direct their flight in circles round the
spot whence they have been liberated, increasing the dia-
meter of the circle at every round, and rising at the same
time gradually higher. This is continued as long as the
eye can discern the birds, and hence we conclude that it is
also continued after we lose sight of them, a constantly in-
creasing circle being made till they ascertain some known
object, enabling them to shape a direct course. It is not a
little interesting to contrast the proceedings just described
with those of a pigeon let off from a balloon elevated above
the clouds. Instead of rising in circles like the former, the

balloon pigeon drops perpendicularly down, like a plummet,
till it is able to recognise some indications of the earth be-
low, when it begins to wheel round and descend spirally, in-
creasing in diameter, for the evident purpose of surveying
its locality, and discovering some object previously known
by which to direct its flight.

Lieutenant Friend, his Majesty's emigration agent,
has received information from his Majesty's agent at Que-
bec, that 5,000 labourers and artificers are now wanted-at
the public works in Upper Canada. The wages are under-
stood to be 3/. per month, with provisions.—lrisli Paper.l

Low PRICE OF WHEAT.—The present very low
price of wheat has induced a gentleman of the neighbour-
hood (who has the averages for the last 734 years by him) to
refer to the prices of a few centuries ago, and it appears that

The words " To be drunk on the premises," re-
quired by the new Act to be placed over the door of beer
shops, is, to say the least of it, as silly and equivocal a
specimen of legislation as could well be devised. The Cor-
respondent of a provincial Journal says, " I really found it
difficult to convince some labouring men in Norfolk, that
the beer was the thing referred to, and not 'themselves.

Pointing to the sign over the door in a remote village, they
maintained that, provided they strictly adhered to th terms,
they might be drunk on the premises ; and I have no reason
to believe that on that occasion the beer-house keeper at-
tempted to undeceive them."

William Mosley, on whose testimony his brother
Joseph, and James. Garside, were executed at Horse-
monger-line Gaol a short time since, for the Werneth
murder, is at length on his way to America. His appear-
ance is that of an unhappy man, pallid, sorrowful, dejected ;
his body rapidly wasting, and his general contour and de-
meanour, from a stout, rather robust, vivacious young man,
has been hurried by the " still small voice" to a lingering,
faltering gait, and a dull deserted creature. Mosley has
been furnished with the means of sailing to America, and
a trifle to forward him to the interior, as he prefers the
capacity of a navigator to the life of anything else,. having
been brought up to it, and knowing too that the spirit of
canal-making is very rife in that country, besides being
anxious " to go, where no person could tease him about the
murder."—Macclesfield Courier.

On Wednesday se'nnight, the banks of the Wye,
in the neighbourhood of the Bridge, were crowded with
spectators anxious to welcome the young Prince George of
Cambridge to Monmouth. The church bells rang merry
peals during the day, and the town wore an air of gaity in
honour of the event. About four o'clock the Prince, ac-
companied by his tutor and another gentleman, arrived un-
der a salute of cheers, which he politely acknowledged.
His Royal Highness appeared highly animated, and, we un-
derstand, expressed much delight at the beauties of the
Wye tour from Ross ; be frequently desired the rowers to
pause while he contemplated Goodrich Court and the other
enchanting scenes that presented themselves. The distin-
guished party remained a short time at the Beaufort Arms'
Hotel, from whence they were furnished with four fine
horses to visit Tintern Abbey and Wyndcliff.—Merfin.

QUICK VOYAGE.—The ship City of IVaterford,
375 tons, a regular trader to Quebec, sailed from Liverpool
on the 17th of July last,. discharged, loaded a full cargo,
and sailed from Quebec 27th of August, and arrived at
Waterford in 20 days, having completed the voyage out
and home in the short space of 59 days. She has com-
pleted two voyages this year in the period of four months
and six days.

The cholera, judging from the accounts of its fright-
ful ravages in Italy, is still the opprobrium of medicine,
the united skill and science of Europe having as yet done
nothing effectual to check its progress or to mitigate its
severity.

A MAN KILLED AT A BULL-BAIT.—On Mon-
day week one of those brutal exhibitions, a bull-bait, took
place, according to annual custom, at Irlam wakes, and in
the course of the day one man was killed, and another had
several ribs broken by the infuriated animal, which the
scarcely more rational beings in human form were torment-
ing. About ten minutes after the baiting commenced a
drunken fellow, named. William Warburton, forced his way
into the ring, from which-he was speedily ejected by Taylor,
the bullward. Preparations were then made for slipping a
dog at the bull, and while the owner of the dog and the,
bullward were busily engaged in this task, Warburton again
contrived to enter the ring, and walking up to the bull, put
his fists into the animal's face. The bull, who at this mo-
ment had lowered his head for the purpose of receiving the
dog, stuck his horns into Warburton's back, and tossed him
a considerable height. The man fell to the ground, and
alighted on his head and neck, and when taken up he was
found to be insensible. He was conveyed to ithe Ship
public-house, where he lingered until Thursday noon, when
he died.—Manchester Courier.

FATAL FINERY.—On Monday last an inquest was
held at Linwood, near Caistor, before Mr. Marris, Coroner,
on the body of Elizabeth Cooper, aged 19, servant to Mr.
William Lowe, of that place, who had terminated her exist-
ence by taking poison. It appeared that the deceased, on
Saturday afternoon, called at the shop of Mr. L'Oste, drug-
gist, of Rasen, and asked for a quarter of a pound of arsenic,
and on being interrogated as to the purpose for which it
was wanted, she stated that it was to destroy bugs with.
Mr. L'Oste knowing the girl, and observing nothing extra-
ordinary in her conduct or appearance, let her have the
arsenic wrapped up in paper, on which was printed " Poi-
son." The deceased seems to have taken the deadly dose
on her way home, for shortly after arriving there, she was
taken very ill, and on being pressed as to the cause, she at
length reluctantly stated that she had taken two penny-
worth of laudanum. Mr. Cumpstone, the surgeon, was
subsequently called in, and it was with some difficulty that
he elicited from her the fact, that arsenic had been taken.
She lingered until two o'clock on Sunday morning, when
she expired. It appeared from the evidence of her master,
and others, that the unfortunate girl had never displayed
any symptoms of aberration of mind, and although for some
hours previous to her death she was perfectly sensible, and
expressed a great desire to live, she did not attempt to give
any reason for the commission of the rash act. The only
conjecture which could be raised was, that extravagance in
dress had caused her to run into debt, for which she had
been put into the Court of Requests, and had led her to
form the fatal resolution which she afterwards so deliberately
carried into effect. The Jury, after a short consultation,
returned a verdict of " Felo de se," and the Coroner issued
his warrant for the private interment of the body between
the hours of nine and twelve at night, pursuant to the late
Act of Parliament.—Chester Chronicle.

CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—On the 26th ofJuly last
a do; was observed biting at several other dogs, near the
head of Leith Walk, when it was seized by a police-officer
named Alexander Elder in conformity with the police re-
gulations then issued. In taking hold of the animal, El-
der was slightly bitten in the hand and leg, and, to pre-
vent ill consequences, the part was cauterized, and after
four days' confinement he resumed his duty, apparently
quite restored. He continued in this state till Monday
last. He had been on duty as night watchman, and was
relieved about seven in the morning, previously to which
he felt rather unwell, and wished to be relieved,, but could
not obtain it until the regular hour, when he went home
and requested some tea, which, however, he could not
take, as it made him sick. He then went to bed, but could
not sleep, and perspired profusely. In the afternoon he
again tried the tea, but no sooner saw it than he desired it
might be taken away, feeling, as he expressed himself, asth-
matical. In the evening rigors came on, and decided symp-
toms of hydrophobia manifested themselves ; and arrange-
ments were made for conveying the unhappy man to the
hospital. During the preparations for his removal, he was
repeatedly attacked by the most violent spasms, the effects
of which were most horrific. He could take nothing, any
attempt at doing so, producing the most violent spasms. A
sinapism was applied to his neck and pit of the stomach ;
he felt grateful for the application, but it produced no re-
lief. On his arrival at the infirmary, the poor man exhi-
bited the most decided symptoms of the disease. When
he attempted to swallow a fluid, he was instantly seized
with violent convulsive spasms. He was, indeed, afraid to
make the attempt, but felt anxious to do whatever was re-
commended, and taking hold of the iron bedstead, grasped
it firmly, as if preparing for some great exertion, and then
making a rapid snatch at the liquid, sucked it down by tits
and starts. The patient, when interrogated, described his
complaint as a cramp which began at his tongue, and from
it proceeded over his whole body, and attended with a pain-
ful feeling at the pit of the stomach, though when the pa-
roxysm was over, he repeatedly stated that be was free
from pain, while his mind remained throughout quite clear
and collected. He answered the questions put to him
quite distinctly, and theuqh not aware of the nature of the
disease, yet expressed himself satisfied that he could not
long survive. He continued in this state of alternate fits,
of paroxysm and tranquillity till about six in the morning.
when death put a period to his sufferings, being about 24
hours from his first complaining, and about 12 from the ac-
cury.
