THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE RE
GISTRATION.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before C. D. MovisN, Esq. )
The Revising Barrister sat in the Paddington Vestry-
room this morning to revise the list of voters for that
parish.
Mr. Allen appeared for the Liberals, Mr. Greenwood
for the Conservatives.
The following is a statement of the number of claims
and objections made by the Reformers and Conservatives
in this district :

Reformers. Conservatives. Total.
Claims
Objections
On Mr. Moylan taking his seat,
Mr. Brown, one of the overseers, said he wished
to explain the cause of an omission in the list of
claims and objections. He had been absent from
England during nearly the whole of the month
of August. On leaving London, he directed
that all communications relating to parochial matters
were to be handed to the vestry-clerk. This was done
with every communication except one, and that was the
claims and objections made by Mr. Allen. That gen-
tleman enclosed them in a sealed envelope, and his (Mr.
Brown's) servant, thinking that it was a private com-
munication, did not forward it to the vestry-clerk, but
kept it until his return to town on the 30th of- August,
when it was impossible to get the list printed and placed
on the church doors within the time prescribed by the
Act of Parliament. He had stated to Mr. Allen the
cause of this unfortunate omission, and had expressed
his willingness to do all in his power to rectify it if it
was possible to do so in a legal manner.
Mr. Allen said he had invariably followed that practice.
He had done so to prevent them from being mislaid or
lost, and personally delivered the letter containing them
at Mr. Brown's house.

Mr. Brown frankly admitted the service.
The REVISING BARRISTER doubted whether the Act
gave him power to interfere. He was empowered, by the
26th section to deal with a list which had been published
in some way, and whether correct or incorrect, but not
with one that had not been published at all.
Mr. Allen said it was hard that claimants who had
complied with the Act of Parliament should suffer from
the neglect of the overseer.
The REVISING BARRISTER said the question was
whether he could re►ise an unpublished list.
Mr. Allen said the mistake might have been rectified
on the return of the overseer to town.
Mr. Brown admitted that he might have written the
list, but it could not have been printed within the time
required by the Act.
the REVISING BARRISTER said, in that Case Mr.
Brown ought to have sent in a written list. The Act im-
posed heavy penalties on overseers for neglecting to re-
turn lists, notices of which were served upon them, to
the Town Clerk. He could only deal with the
claims as those of persons omitted from the published
lists by the overseer.
Mr. Brown said the mistake would not have occurred
if the claims and objections had not been enclosed in an
envelope. When he first saw the envelope, he thought
it contained a circular from some charitable institution,
or from the Home-office, requiring some ridiculous re-
turn.

Mr. Allen thought he could hardly say that as a Con-
servative.—(A laugh.)
As the parties who claimed did not appear, and as
their qualifications were not made out, their claims were
not entertained.

Sergeant Adams' name was objected to by the Liberals
on the ground that he, was the landlord, but not the oc-
cupier of the house, which he let furnished. His name
had been struck out of the list last year and the year
before, and it was again struck out.
The names of several persons who were in the service
of the Government, and others who were not duly quali-
fied from various causes, were struck off the list.

THE HOITON SOCIAL FRIENDS.--0/1 Thursday
evening last the second quarterly supper of this popular
Harmonic Society took place at the Monmouth Arms
Tavern, Singleton-street, Hoxton, on which occasion a
numerous party of respectable gentlemen partook of a
substantial entertainment, which reflected great credit
on Mr. Shannon, the respected host. Messrs. S. W.
Burgess and J. Smith officiated as chairman and deputy,
and were supported by Messrs. Pickering, Wynne, Cad-
wallader, Murphy, Roberts, Marnham, and several other
worthy members of the Society. After the healths of
" The Queen," "Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal
Family," had been drank with much applause, the Chair-
man proposed " Succest to the Hoxton Social Friends,"
which was received with great cheering. The healths of
the Chairman, Deputy, Mr. Shannon, Messrs. Lenard
and Roberts, were respectively responded to with great
enthusiasm. Messrs. Davis, Hooker, and Davis, highly
entertained the company with several glees, as did Mr.
Chapman by his comic recitations. The Chairman, in
an appropriate speech, at a late period of the evening,
gave as a toast "Old England,' when the meeting
broke up.
THE FARES ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.--We alluded last week to the intended re-
duction of fares on the London and Birmingham Rail-
way. We now find that the reduction takes effect on
and after Tuesday next. The fares of the mail trains
are reduced from 325. 6d. to 305.; by the ordinary first
class, from 30s. to 275.; and by the second class, from
20s. to 18s.; in addition to which the third-class fare,
till now 14s. 6d., is brought down to Id. per mile, or
9s. bd. for the entire distance. On all these fares, except
the third class, there is a further reduction of one-third
by taking return tickets for the same day. There are
likewise considerable advantages in respect of the trans-
mission of carriages now first offered.—Railway Record.
ERRATUM.—In the verses on " The Merchants of
Old England," which appeared in The Sun yesterday,
for " Mysure" read "Mysore ;" and, for " Missisaippe, '
" Mississippi."
FlRES.—Yesterday morning, shortly before four
o'clock, a fire was discovered in the lead work; belong-
ing to Messrs. Algerson, of the Belvidere-road, Lam-
beth. Several engines of the brigade, with the West 8f
England one, promptly attended, but the fire was ex-
tinguished by the aid of the firemen and police without
calling the engines into operation. Fortunately the
damage done is trifling. About the same hour a fire
broke out in a private house in the St. George's-road,
Southwark, but it was quickly got out, and before much
damage was done.

flames. By noon 200 houses of the town were burnt
down, and a third of the fine fetiche cocoa nut trees, of
which the natives were so proud. The wind fell just as
the flames were on the point of communicating with the
quarter where King Peter resides. Several natives were
killed and wounded in the attack, but only one of the
assailants was injured, by receiving a ball in the cheek.
Lieut. Jance states that in the evening he informed
King Peter that he should give him a month to pay the
promised indemnities, and that if he did not comply his
ruin was certain."

The Manheim Gazette has the following from
Milan of the 16th :

1 "We learn from Trieste that the idea of an Italian
Zollverein has been formed, and will soon become an offi •
cial question. Several states of Italy, including Tuscany,
are said to be in favour of a customs' union with Lom-
bardy and Illyria, under the protection of Austria. It
is hoped that this combination will not only improve
commerce, but at the same time paralyse certain foreign
influences. Negotiations have been opened relative to
the navigation of the Po, and other commercial relations
with Sardinia, Naples, and Modena. Baron Kubeck has
the direction of these negotiations, while Prince Metter-
nich is engaged with the political affairs of Italy. Several
conferences have been held with the Italian diplomatists
in the Prince's saloons. but none of the results hare trans-
pired."
