CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY'
(THIS DAY.)
The revision of the livery lists commenced
morning with that of the Playing Card-makers. e
Upon the list of the Pewterers' Company being
called over, the name of Thomas Henry was objeci.t t
to on the ground of non-residence. It appeared 011;
the applicant was the Captain of a trading vesse't
and although he had, at one time, resided for a shotet
period at No. 7, Well's-place, Hackney-road, o,
during then ast twelve monthi when he returned fr°o
sea, he stopped at a boarding-house, although he b
a quantity of furniture at Well's-place.
The Court ordered the name to be struck 0—
list.
ot
Henry Aimes was opposed on the ground 0. p
des
residing within the prescribed limits of seven miej
from Guildhall. The Ordnance map was produk,
in court, and it appearing that the residence of It
Aimes was within seven miles in a straig and
awarded lineandCourt decided that the objection was groundless/ "
awarded him costs.

Mr. Quin complained to the Court of the shsie ter
of some of the clerks of the Companies. N° itinas
than yesterday he met with two cases where pease,
perfectly qualified were objected to, and in Coney
quence of the absence of the Livery clerks, the
names were struck off the list. He trusted that
Court would adopt some course that would rein
this evil and injustice. to
The REVISING BARRISTER said, that according
of
the Act of Parliament it was the imperative (hltihi9
every clerk to be in attendance when the list of jog.
particular company was called on, and he (the Itoi,si ip
Barrister) should take care that they should be s' of
attendance before the termination of the revisi°
the livery lists.
The revision had proceeded as far as the S4I

Company when we went to press.

would then be a diminution in consequence of tuhe
arrangement in the amount of the rest, because 'O%

The GOVERNOR said it was not deducted.

FOOT-RACE FOR 201.—Yesterday a large cot!:
course of persons assembled at the Beehive Cricket
ground, Walworth, to witness the running match
tween Perch and Naylor. The distance contested wa'-'
over two hundred yards of ground and to leap lien
hurdles. In betting Perch was the favourite. The
ground having; been measured, the men appeared at the
starting mark, and at the signal they started, Perch in ttt
slight advance ; at the fifth hurdle the men were over 11..
one time, and ran together to the eighth, when Perch 104
and his opponent shot away ; Perch recovered his lc°
ground and pursued his adversary, and succeeded
gaining upon him, and a spirited contest then ensued'
which terminated by Naylor coming off the winner bX
half a yard.
DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT.—About three o'clor,:k 03
Friday morning a most diabolical attempt was made to
destroy either life or property, or both, at the residence
of the Bev. G. T. Mostyn, minister of St. Micbael'3
Daisy Field, Blackburn. It appears that a con-
siderable quantity of gunpowder was introduced
into the lock, and through crevices in the door ;
the train was partially fired, but not succeeding',
it was again tried, happily without the demoniac
result which the wretches evidently contemplated. It is
hardly possible to conceive the motive which could ba"
dictated such a cowardly and ruffianly attempt et
slaughter. Mr. Mostyn is, comparatively-, a stranger
among us ; enemies he has none to his knowledge, and
what can have induced an attempt of this kind, w hie°
would disgrace even the savage barbarian, is utterly
mysterious aanduutwountAble.—Blackburn Mercury.
