THE REGISTRATION.

CITY OF LONDON.
the question whether liverymen who had taken up their freedom
since the passing of the Reform Act, to which we referred on Monday,
was ye sterday resumed. The whole of the forenoon was taken up by
technical arguments respecting the construction of the Act of Par-
liament. At the termination of the Learned Gentlemen's addresses,
pro and con.,
The REVISING BARRISTER intimated that as the decision was one
of some importance, he would take time to consider It, and give his
judgment on a future day.

At the recent Congress at Rheins of the Scientific
Men of France 31. Jullien de Paris presented Mr. Morgan's plan of a
Self-supporting Institution for 300 families. The observations of 31.
Jullien de Paris, as well as the acknowledegment by the President,
the Archbishop, were received with loud applauscs, and prove that
the condition of the people is exciting a great interest in that country
as well as in our own.
DEATH OF P. GREENALL, ESQ., M.P.—WIGAN,
SEPT. 18.—This highly respectable gentleman expired at half-past
one o'clock to-day, at his residence in St. Helen's. Mr. Greenall was
the Conservative Member for the borough of Wigan, to which he was
elected at the last general election in conjunction with Mr. T. B.
Crosse, of Shaw-hill, near Chorley, but who was unseated on peti-
tion. Mr. Greenall had once before, unsuccessildly, stood for Wigan
in conjunction with the late John Hodson Kearsley, Esq. 31r.
Greenall was held in the highest estimation by all parties in this
neighbourhood of all politics, and his loss will be most severely felt in
his immediate neighbourhood, being the proprietor of very extensive
manufactories.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—It is now officially an-
nounced that this theatre will be opened on Saturday, the 27th inst.
As before, under the present management, it will be devoted exclu-
sively to opera and ballet. The female vocalists will be Madame
Anna Thillon, Miss looser, Miss 'Uniform, Miss Poole, the cele-
brated, and yet unheard, Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, and a debutante,
Miss Ilelen 1.411 Q. Mr. Allen is engaged as a tenor in addition to Mr.
W. Harrison, while the " bass and baritone" department gets a rein-
forcement by the engagement of Mr. H. Phillips, who will appear in
addition to Messrs. Burdini, Borrani, and Weiss. .At the head of the
ballet department stands the excellent danseuse Mademoiselle Adele
Dumilatre. Her name is fo lowed by those of Mademoiselle Flora
Fabri, a lady yet unknown to the English public, and the favourite
artist, Mademoiselle Plunkett. Ai. Schira is to be the conductor of
the orchestra. A new opera by Mr. Benedict, and another by 31r.
Wallace, are mentioned among the forthcoming novelties. Meyer-
beer's Camp of Silesia, produced last year in Germany, is to be per-
limed ; and Mr. Balm speaks in his programme of "pending trea-
ties" with MM. Scribe and Donizetti for a new grand opera M. St.
Georges and 31. Albert are to unite in the construction of a new
ballet called La Fille de Marbre, with Adolphe Adam's music, and the
Parisian ballet Le Diable a quatre is to be performed. The pro-
gramme certainly indicates great spirit and enterprise, and the
manager seems to have engaged all the available talent for the pur-
poses to which he has devoted his theatre. A stronger company is,
we believe, at the present day, impossible.—Times.
RAILWAY COLLISION.—WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 18.—
A collision took place yesterday at the Oakenshaw Station on the
Midland Railway, but fortunately no serious injury to the pas-
sengers was sustained. The train from Leeds to Derby, which was
due at half-past 10 A.M., did not arrive until 20 minutes after its time,
and there being a great number of passengers going from Oakenshaw
to Swinton (Doncaster) station on account of the races, at least 20
minutes more elapsed without any immediate appearance of moving
on. At this moment the train from Hull came up, following on the
same line of rails, and dashed into the catriagea of the Derby train.
Most providentially several of the other carriages of the Derby trans
had been drawn back from the main body to admit of others being
placed intermediate. These carriages received the blow ; but having
some space to be driven forwaed before they struck the other
portion of the train, the severity of the collision was ma-
terially checked. However, the shock in the carriages most re-
moved was severely felt. The Hull train, moreover, was slackening
its speed to stop at the station. Hat it been the express instead of
the Hull train which was to follow shortly afterwards, and which
does not stop at Oakenshaw, but dashes through like a flash of
lightning, every soul must have perished. As it was, several persons
sustained severe cuts and bruises, and the greatest alarm was occa-
sioned to all. Prince George of Cambridge was in his own carriage,
open, on a truck, at the extreme cud of the Hull train, so that he
would certainly have suffered severely, if he had not been killed, had
the concussion been more violent. His Royal Highness, fortunately,
did not sustain any particular inconvenience.
THE GALE OF THURSDAY.—DOVER, SEPT. 18,
Six, r.m.—lt has been blowing a hurricane here all day from the
S.W., so as to prevent ary vessel from getting over to Boulogne, or
even attempting to make the passage ; nor has ail, vessel been able
to get to this port from Calais or Ostend, though from the former the
North Foreland or the Downs may have bcen reached. A Folkstone
steamer lett that place ti is morning, bat there is little chance of her
having reached Boulogne, and the probability is that she bore up for
Calais. The Magician steamer, wii:ch left Boulogne yesterday, is
now here, not having been able to return to that port. The terminus
of the South Eastern Railway has had a tremendous battering by the
sea to-day, and it is .eared that the foundations have been injured.
Cow-ni FISIL—This strangely-formed little
tenant of the waters is amphibious, holding a place with the aligator,
turtle, and others of the crustaceous kinds. It is capable of travers-
ing for a long distance over dry sand, by propelling itself forward
through the active agency of two pectoral fins, which it moves alter-
nately. It will also leave the water and ascend trees in the locality
of the above element, on which it will bask, and solace itself in the
sun for hours together. Sometimes whole shoals of these fish have
been observed, during a heavy north-wester, to fall upon the fiat
roofs of houses, and in gardens, and this deciduous circumstance may
be attributed solely to their being snatched away on the irresistible
wings of the tempcst, and dashed upon spots remote from any ap-
pearance of water.
DEATH OF A CONVICT IN NEWGATE.—Thursday
