RAMSGATE =THURSDAY.

oult O*N CORAESVONDENT.)
The wind has bloVit very strong from S.S.W. during
the last two days.
Yesterday His Majesty's steam-packet, the Cru-
sader, from Calais, came into this pdrt, and landed
hei passengers, and three carriages. This afternoon,
at five o'clock, the French Mail Le Courrier, from
Calais, also landed her carriages, and fifty passengers.
On account of the bar being up at Dover, neither of
these vessels were able to enter that Harbour. His
Royal Highness the Duke of N. emottes: left Itamsgate
earl/ this Milting ill ethiage, oti his way
io Brighton. Their Majesties, the King and Queen
of the Belgians, walked on the pier for some time this
afternoon, taking great hiterest iii VlOVirig the shipping
which made for the harbour for shelter, as the weather
is at this moment very boisterous, We have heard
that his Majesty will depart this eveithig fat London,
for a few days, leaving his royal consort to enjoy the
society of the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess
Victoria during his absence. The Duchess and her
interesting daughter, paid a visit this day to their illus-
trious relative the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, at
Piermont-house, Broadstairs. _ _

The Dover Castle steam-packet, with passengers
aad goods, which left London yesterday morning, was
unable to reach that port on account of the boisterous
weather, and entered Ramsgate Harbour this morning
about nine o'clock, having been out at sea all night.

ELECTION LAW.

CO WEE, &Pr. 30.

The Revising Barristers closed their Court last evening,
striking off the register 17 Tories and 18 Reformers, leav-
ing two undecided. Mr. Henry Thompson, 33, Primrose-
street, Bishopsgate-street, wag opposed by both parties, and
struck off, making 36 altogether. This beink the first time
any objections have been taken to county voters in the
island, the Reformers were not up• to all the legal
quibbles the Tories use in these Courts, and thereby
lost ten good votes, through errors in their claims—for
instance, several claimed a right to vote as 40s. free-
holders, their name, A. B. ; place of residence, Cowes ;
-nature of qualification, freehold houses ; where situate,
B. street. The Tories being supported by the rejected of
the Isle of Wight—the sailors' friend f.—the farmers'
friend! !—his tenants' friend 1 I l=the friend of Cowes and
its rural walks ! ! ! .I—the friend of Church and King! !I! I
—the friend of the independent electors II I !!!—and
backed by the Carlton purse bring down a special pleader
from town, who, used to election trickery, takes objection
to the wording, and says the whole of these houses are
not yours—only a half, a third, or a fifth—you should
have claimed as a joint-tenant, or a tenant in common—
no matter that they bring 2001. per annum. Voter—
I only claim for 40s. I receive more than twenty times
that sum every year, from them. The barrister first
ridiculed the objection, and said the claimant had filled up
the form as directed by the Act; but the special pleader
persuaded him he was wrong, and the vote was struck off I !
A. trustee in possession, being in receipt of the rents and
profits, above 40s. per annum being for his own use, stood
no chance ; he was only a Joint trustee, there being two
others. The trustees of the dissenting chapels, though
in receipt of the pew-rents, and rent of buildings be-
longing to the chapel, over the application of which they
exercisC a control, stood no chance hero—need we say
they were Reformers ? The Tories have kept at least
ten on their list, who have have not even a shadow of a
right to be there. We hope things will be managed
better next year, and that funds may be subscribed in
time, and the best professional assistance obtained. Great
praise is due to the gentlemen who volunteered their
services in the Independent cause, particularly Mr. Kirk-
patrick ; but (if an election take place before another re-
gistry) dear-bought experience will tell us we must have the
assistance of a veteran of the line to lead us—persons must
not be allowed to have votes because we have not the means
to serve them with notices of objections, or of proving the
service. Mr. Moir claimed to vote for Kent House as a 501.
renter ;it was objected that part was in the borough. The
premises being extensive, the town-clerk of Newport went
to examine them, when he found this imaginary borough
line of his to run directly through a certain nameless
small building at the extreme end. The Barrister asked
if Mr. Warren contended that this building was to pull the
whole premises into the borough ? He said he did ! ! The
twisting and bending of this borough boundary would have
a curious appearance on paper.
