CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before T. J. ARNOLD, Esq.)
The revision of the lists of voters for the parishes of
St. Mathew, Friday.street, and St. Peter, West Cheap,
which had been left incomplete a few days ago, were
completed at the sitting of the Learned Barrister this
morning. _

The overseers of Allhallows, Lombard-street, having
been called in, the Vestry Clerk came forward and de-
livered the lists to the Barrister's clerk, and said he at-
tended in their place. On being examined he said he
had not the rate-book with him, neither could he get at
it conveniently, as the party in whose possession it was
was out of town. The overseers, it appeared, published
a list of the names of persons entitled to vote on the Ist
of August, which was affixed to the church doors, but it
neither contained the addresses nor the qualifications of
the persons on the list. On being remonstrated with
they published another list, in which the omission was
rectified, but not within the time required by the Act of
Parliament. Consequently the said list was invalid.
The delivery of two lists excited the surprise of th e
Barrister, the more so as two names had been added to
the second list. He said the name of one of the persons
on the list in writing must be expunged, because it had
not been supplied in time, and because the overseers had
done what they had no right to do. The further revision
of the list must stand over till Thursday, when the over-
seers must personally attend ; and if any person could
show him that they had suffered inconvenience, he should
feel it his duty to fine the overseers for their neglect.
The list of voters for Allhallows Staining, St. Dionis
Backchurch, and St. Edward the King, were then re •
vised ; but no cases of interest occurred.
The Revising Barrister will adjourn the revision from
to-day until Thursday next.
It is expected the Revision will terminate this day
week.

HORRIBLE CIRCUAISTANCL—We last year took
notice of a maniac belonging to Strathpeffer, known by
the name of Big Hector, and the abominable manner in
which he behaved during the sacramental fast days in
Ferrintosh, and the danger to the public of his being left
at large. We are now informed that he lately visited
Edderton, in the eastern portion of this county,
where, having taken hold of a child (a girl), he ate
the flesh off her arm, and the poor sufferer, when re-
lieved, was, and still is, in a very painful and dan-
gerous condition. The full particulzrs we have not as
yet ascertained, but we cannot help deprecating the
conduct of those who allow such a dangerous being to be
at large ; and we feel certain, that if the matter was pro-
perly represented in the right quarter, he would be
looked after. It is harrowing to the feelings to contem-
plate and see a fellow-creature feeding on the carcases of
horses, and disputing the carrion with dogs and the fowls
of the air. The county annually pays a large sum for the
safe custody of maniacs and other dangerous persons,
some of whom are not so dangerous as " Big Hector."
We trust, henceforth, he will not be permuted to roam
over the country and commit such horrid practices.—

ILLNESS OF LADY HEYTESEURY.—We regret much
that it is out of our power to announce any favourable
change in the state of Lady Heytesbury. The answer
to inquiries to-day was, that "her Excellency is not
better." We are sorry to add that little hope is enter-
tained of her recovery.—.l,olin Evoifyy Post,

The Bank of England weekly statement shows a de-
crease of 219,8751. in the circulation, and of 136,7081. in
the total amount of bullion ; an increase of 1,5111. in the
rest; of 716,6201. in the National deposits; and 79,3211. in
the seven day bills, but a decrease in the general deposits
of 224,9991. The securities held have been angmented
by the amount of nearly a million sterling, and the notes
by half that sum.
Papers of April 27 direct from Port Phillip have been
received to-day. The editors and colonists continue to
dwell upon the injustice of the land regulations just pro-
mulgated, and state that in Port Phillip the whole of a
settler's property is centered in Government land, he is
not allowed to purchase a homestead, and he is compelled
to build upon, fence in, and cultivate the land which he
holds upon license. Now it must be evident that the most
industrious settler will be he who will suffer most by the
new regulations. He will run the risk of being ex-
pelled from house and home every twelve months. If
he spends 100/. in improvements the one year, he will
be compelled to purchase these very improvements
every year afterwards, or accept the alternative of aban-
doning his property to another without a penny of com-
pensation, and go forth into the world an exiled beggar,
to curse the abominable tyranny of a grasping, unprin-
cipled Government. If such a system be carried out in the
spirit in which it is conceived, the free sons of Australia
Felix may live to envy the lot of the serfs of Siberia. But
hearths and homes are not so easily abandoned, and Go-
vernments frequently learn by bitter experience what
they cannot gather from the voice of reason or argu-
ment. If the system be carried out as it has been con-
ceived, the whole interior of Australia Felix will become
a desert, it will be abandoned as quickly as it has been
occupied. The aborigines will be restored to their
rights, and the settler will nzelt down his property in
order to realise as much as will pay his passage to some
other country where the " brigand" system of govern-
ment is not in operation.
The Australians seem very anxious that their friends
in the mother-country should aid them in their endea-
vours to obtain from Lcrd Stanley a modification of the
unwise measures proposed.
No less than four coasting vessels from Sydney had
been wrecked within a short time, aitd it was hoped, as
the natives had made the most strenuous and successful
exertions to save the crews, and manifested the best
feeling towards the white man, the Government would
not be slow to reward them.
