REFORM REGIfiTRATIOI•I.—The Reformers o'
Newcastle and the Southern Division of Northumberland
have held meetings, and resolved to constitute themselves into
Reform Registration Societies. The Reformers of Hackney
have also had a meeting for the same purpose, at the Britannia
Tavern, John Simpson, Esq. in the chair, at which several
spirited resolutions were agreed to. The Reformers of De-
vizes, and the Northern Division of Wilts, have also joined
their names to the long list of these societies.
CH A RACTER.---AMOng the happiest and proudest
possessions of a man is his character—it is a wealth--it is a
rank of itself. It usually procures him the honours, and rarely
the jealousies of Fame. Like most treasures that are attained
less by circumstances than ourselves, character is a more feli-
citous reputation than glory. The wise man, therefore, de-
spises not the opinion of the world—he estimates it at its full
value—he does not wantonly jeopardize his treasure of a good
name—he does not rush from vanity alone, against the received
sentiments of others—he dos not hazard his costly jewel with
unworthy combatants and for a petty stake. He respects the
legislation of decorum. If he be benevolent, as well as wise,
he will remember that character affords him a thousand utili-
ties—that it enables him the better to forgive the erring, and
to shelter the assailed. But that character is built on a false
and hollow basis, which is formed not from the dictates of our
own breast, but solely from the fear of censure. What is the
essence and the life of character? Principle, integrity, inde-
pendence l—or, as one of our great writers bath it, " that in-
bred loyalty unto Virtue which can serve her without a livery."
These are qualities that hang not upon any man's breath.
They must be formed within ourselves ; they must make our-
selves—indissoluble and indestructible as the soul l If, con-
scious of these possessions, we trust tranquilly to time and occa-
sion to render them known, we may rest assured that our cha-
racter, sooner or later, will establish itself. We cannot more
defeat our own object than by a restless and fevered anxiety as
to what the world will say of us. Except, indeed, if we are
tempted to unworthy compliances with what our conscience
disapproves, in order to please the fleeting 'and capricious coun-
tenance of the time. There is a moral honesty in a due re-
gard for character which will not shape itself to the humours of
the crowd. And this, if honest, is no less wise. For the
crowd never long esteems those who flatter it at their own ex-
pense. He who has the suppleness of the demagogue will live
to complain of the fickleness of the mob.—Bulwer's Student.
ENFORCEMENT OF CHURCH-RATES AT KEN-
SINGTON.—For some time past the parish of Kensington has
been greatly agitated on the question of Church rates. About
three weeks since, near 600 defaulters in a rate made in Fe-
bruary last, wer, summoned before the Local Magistrates,
when several of them refused paying on points of conscience,
and a number objected on the ground of the illegality of the
rates, &c. Since then distress warrants have been issued ;
but the parochial authorities have as yet been unable to get
any broker residing in the parish, to carry them into execu-
tion. On Saturday last, great excitement was created in the
Biompton district of the parish, by citation from the Eccle-
siastical Court, at the suit of the churchwardens, being served
on Mr. Farlar, the chapel warden, and other inhabitants of
that district. A meeting of the rate-payers was, in conse-
quence, held yesterday evening, at the sign of the King's
Head, Eales-court, when Mr. Farlar declared his determina-
tion to oppose the proceedings by every means in his power.
He considered the conduct of the churchwardens most oppres-
sive. It was determined that a meeting of the rate-payers
generally should be holden on Friday next, to determine on
what course to pursue under the circumstances, after which the
meeting separated.
Two drivers of Paddington omnibusses were yester-
day fined 51. each by the Magistrates at Marylabone Police
Office, for furious racing with each other in the New-road.
