CITY OF LONDON.

This morning Mr. S. Percival, the revising bar-
rister for the city of London, resumed the inspec-
tion of the register for the City.
Mr. Ledger and Mr. Harper represented the
Liberal interest, and Mr. Smith the Conservative.

BOUNDARY AND RATING.

In this case Mr. Benjamin, of the East India
Chambers, claimed to be inserted on the register on
the ground that he was the occupier of Chambers in
the parish of St. Andrews, Undershaft.
Mr. Ledger said be should oppose this claim on
the ground that the claimant was not in the parish
of St. Andrews at all, but in that of St. Peter's,
Cornhill. When the East India Company built
the chambers on the site of the old East India
House, they arranged with the two parishes that
they should pay on £ll,OOO rates, £9,000 to the
first and £2,000 to the second. They also through-
out the chambers put up boundary marks, by
which the parishes were distinctly defined, and
according to these Mr. Benjamin occupied cham-
bers in St. Peter's, although he was rated in St.
Andrew's. Ile contended that this was au insur-
mountable objection.

Mr. Salith urged that the court had nothing to do
with the arrangement of the parish boundaries.
Mr. Percival said that he considered that the
question of boundary was a case for the court. The
claim was struck out.

ACCIDENT TO A PERFORMER ON THE TRAPEZE.—
An unusual accident befell a performer on the high trapeze,
at the theatre, Preston, on Monday evening. The man,
who assumed the name of Clevoyn, was performing ou a
bar about 30 feet above the stage, when he fell down. By
the fall he put his neck out of joint, and a gentleman in
theatre is reported to have been successful in putting his
neck right again. The poor fellow was bruised and
burned as well. He is in a precarious state.

THIS DAY.

The list of claimants for St. Ann's, Soho, was
concluded this morning. The total number of new
claims amounted to 469, of whom 250 were allowed
and 219 expunged.
After some discussion it was then decided to
take the list for. St. Clements Danes. After
this had been settled another controversy took
place between the agents and the' revising bar-
rister with respect to the legality of the notices
of objection to householders served by post. Mr.
Noakes produced 14 duplicates of objections bear-
ing the Postmaster's stamp. Mr. Gilbert said it
was not sufficient to prove that 3d. had been paid
for each, but that each witness must be asked the
question what had been paid. This controversy
led to rather a warm conversation, but ultimately
the Revising barrister decided that the duplicates
were sufficient.

Amongst the names struck out of the house-
holders' claims were those of Robert Henry Ody
and John Price. The overseers said in the first
case the executors were rated, and with respect to
the other the claimant did not reside on the pre-
mises, 13, Milford-lane, which were popularly
known as the barracks, and were let out in sepa-
rate tenements.

THE LODGER CLAIMS.

The wives of a number of claimants having proved
their husbands' right to vote,
Mr. Gilbert said he had a number of ladies who
wished to prove their claims, but they resided in St.
Mary-le-Strand.

Mr. Noakes said he must object to any but those
belonging to St. Clement's parish.
Mr. Gilbert—Well as you've raised that objec-
tion, I hope you'll get the cold shoulder when you
get home. (Laughter.)
A claimant named James Nash here came for-
ward to prove his claim.

Mr. Noakes protested against Nash's name being
taken before others merely because he had pushed
himself forward. There were between 40 and
50 persons in attendance, the time of each being
quite as valuable as that of the man now
making his claim. If the system of pushing was to
be allowed to prevail the strongest man would get
on the best.
The Revising Barrister—Well, we will take the
claimant, as he's got to the front, but the rest will
be taken alphabetically. Nash's claim was then

allowed.
FURNISHED APARTMENTS.-A BEDROOM QUALIFICATION.

Edward Barton claimed in respect of one room on
the third floor of the house No. 30, Arundel-street,
Strand. The qualification in question was a bed-
room, for which the claimant paid 6s. 6d. a week.

- ,
The Revising Barrister said that was the first

time that qualification had been put forward. Ile
doubted whether it was sufficient. The room was
a furnished bed room, and the question was whether
it was of the annual value of £lO without the fur-
niture. The furniture in a house had been held to
double its value.
The claimant said it appeared to him the room
was of the annual value of £lO. The sum of 3s. Bd.
a week would be £lO a year, and certainly the
room would bring over that.
The Revising Barrister said he should allow the
claim.

JOINT OCCUPATION.

Richard Brookes claimed for second and third
floors, No. 29, Newcastle-street, for which he paid
£1 is. a week.
Mr. Noakes said there was another claim for a
portion of that qualification, and therefore it was
invalid as a joint occupation.
The claimant said his son claimed for the third
floor, he for the second. They each paid 10s. a
week, but of course his son could enter his room.
Mr. Noakes said the original claim had been made
by the person present for second and third floor
at a guinea a week, and it was now sought to
divide the qualification into two distinct parts—
that of father and son each paying 10s. a week.
The Revising Barrister said he thought the ob-
jection was good, and therefore he should strike
out the claim,

11114, SOUTHERN Si A 7 ES.

A negro Convention, assuming to represent Mis-
souri, was lately held at St. Louis, and adopted re-
solutions demanding the erasure of the word
44 white" from the Constitution of the State —re-
commending the formation of Negro Suffrage Clubs,
and setting ap trt the 29th October for fasting and
prayer by the coloured popul ►tiou. From Charles-
ton a petition of the people of South Carolina has
been forwarded to the President asking protection
against the negroes and their white leaders, alleging
the insecurity of life and property prevailing, and
asserting that anarchy exists in place of civil go-
vernment. In Georgia a demand has been made
on the Governor for a proclamation requiring the
disbandment of illegal political societies, which
are said to exist in every state of the South,
composed both of Democrats and of Repub-
licans. In Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Louisiana, the Legislatures remain in session.
In Tennessee a bill has been reported; creating a
board of finance, with full power to pay the princi-
pal and interest on the public debt now due and
hereafter to mature, by negotiating loans on the
funding debt falling due in 1861; and the commit-
tee on military affairs has reported a bill and re-
commended its passage, which authorizes the Go-
vernor to organize hnd equip a volunteer force of
one or more regiments from each congressional dis-
trict, to be composed of loyal men. In Georgia, Mr.
Lester, Democrat, has been admitted to a seat in
the Senate in place of the negro, Bradley, turned
out. A bill has been reported establishing a State
police force, and a minority of the House Committee
on elections has made a report that members hold-
ing seats who are dot 'residents of the counties
they represent and also free persons of colour are,
under the State Constitution, ineligible. The South
Carolina Legislature elected eight circuit judges on
Monday, August 24, 'ex-Governor Orr being one.
In the Louisiana Legislature on Tuesday, August
25, resolui ions were 'offered impeaching Governor
Warmouth, charging him with having received com-
pensation for signing certain bills, also with having
taken pay for making official appointments ; but
the resolutions were tabled by a vote of two to one.
Nothing further has been heard of the bill placing
the electoral elections in the hands of the Legisla-
ture, notice of which was given sonic time ago in
the House.

The Inlelligencer has an editorial upon the alleged
discovery of armed secret Democratic organizations
in Missouri, and so far from condemning them,
says that if Democracy does not everywhere meet
armed organizations ofloyal leaguers, it will every-
where be trampled into the dust, and that if all that
is said of this secret society be true, there is nothing
to fear from it, but everything to hope in respect
of keeping the peace.

Cardinal Bonaparte is said by the Corriere hali-
alio to think of leaving Rome, the climate not be-
ing favourable to his health.

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

The Augsburg Gazette of September 13 contains the
following extract from a letter written by Dr. Hermann
Vogel, who accompanied the North German expedition
to Aden as a photographer :—" At four o'clock on the •
18th August we left Aden, where the expedition had
established its headquarters. Nine-tenths of the sky was
overcast, and we endeavoured to feel as resigned as pos-
sible to our probable disappointment. Our object was
to obtain as many photographs as could be taken of the
phenomena during the three minutes they would last,
and in order to do this we had practised with our machine,
like soldiers with firearms. Dr. Frische was charged with
the preparation of the plates, Dr. Zenker with putting
the slides into the machine, Dr. Therle with drawing
them out When they had been expc sed a sufficient time,
while my buSiness was in the tent. With this division of
labour we found that it would be possible to obtain six
photographs in the three minutes. As the important
moment approached, to our delight we saw, through
a break in the clouds, the disc of the sun partially
covered by the moon. The landscape around us assumed
a strange hue, neither sunlight nor moonlight—the
chemical colour rays were exceedingly weak. As a
test we exposed a plate in the machine for fifteen
• seconds, and obtained a good impression of the clouds ;
as the di:c of the sun grew smaller, the clouds opened
out. The last minute before the total eclipse
arrived Dr. Frische arid I ci ept into our tent—cur work
began. The first plate was experimentally exposed
five and ten seconds, in order to be sure of the right
time. Mahommed,. our black servant, brought me tl.e
first slide into the tent. I prepared the plate, and
anxiously watched to see what would appear. Just then
my light went out; I rushed out of the tent with the plate
in my hand, and came back with a small oil lamp, which,
in case of Iteciant, I had placed on a table outside.
Eagerly I gazed on the plate—the dark border of the sun
was surrounded on one side by peculiar protuberances, and
on the other was a remarkable horn. The phenomena
were the same in both pictures. My joy was great,
but I had no time to indulge in it. The second plate,
and a moment afterwards the third plate, were brought
intd the tent. Dr. Zenker shouted to us that the sun was
reappearing. The total eclipse was over. The last two
plates only shewed slight impressions of pictures, as they
had been spoilt by the clouds, which, while they were
exposed in the machine, had closed in. The three plates
shewed protuberances on the lower border. We washed,
fixed, and lackered our plates, arid took several copies of
them on glass, which will be sent separately to Europe in
order to ensure their safe arrival."

THE BELOPArE HOSPITAL .FOR

CHILDREN.

The naedfcal treatment of children is or the utmost fm•
portanee. Many a human being suffers some deformity, or
exhibits thremth -a lviig life same infirmity which is the
result of neglect in his infancy. The children of the poor
are especially unfortunate in this. To meet in some
small way a very great want, there is in Cumberland-
street, Pimlico, an institution,. called the Belgrave
Hospital for Children. Lord Grosvenor is the president,
and the list of vice-presidents, lady patronesses, and com-
mittee includes the names of some of the principal members
of the aristocracy. There is no special provision made in
the general hospitals for the treatment of infants, and the
generally received opinion is that children can only be
properly cared for by nurses with a special education, and
in wards appropriated entirely to them. To supply
this want the Belgrave Hospital and similar
institutions have been started. The names of
Drs. Anstie and Gull, of Messrs. Brodhurst
and Partridge, appear on the prospectus ; and a medical
man acts as resident surgeon to attend in all cases of
emergency, and to perform the ordinary duties of the
house-surgeon of a hospital. There are two nurses and
two young girls, who are taken into the hospital on pay-
ment of a small sum for board, for the express pur-
pose of being trained as probationers in the work of
nursing sick children. Provision is made for the
treatment of out - patients as well as those in
the beds. The establishment of this hospital is
interesting to provincials as well as Londoners, for the
benefits are not altogether restricted to the metropolis ;
patients have been sent from Cheshire, Nottinghamshire,
Kent, Herefordshire, and Wiltshire, and the committee
appeal to both London and the provinces for aid, as in
all such cases the means at their disposal are very inade-
quate to meet the wants of the case. Infant mortality is
fearfully increased in consequence of the poverty, bad
lodging accommodation, impure air, and insufficient
food ; and many who survive infancy carry disease with
them to their graves. This hospital was started in March
last year ; twelve beds were fitted up in four light and
airy rooms, the proper allowance of space being made.
The beds have been nearly always full, and it is desirable
to take many of the out-patients into the house for treat-
ment. The readers of `• Our Mutual Friend " will remem-
ber the charming picture of children's hospitals given
therein.
