The Cesarewitch betting embraced a more copious field
than we have hitherto had occasion to publish, and, in the
aggregate, looking at the extent of business transacted, ex-
hibited an improvement. Numerically strong, however, as
our list appears, many of the horses comprisei in it had only
a nominal status in the market, and not more than five were
really in force—this favoared lot consisted of Boarding School
Miss, The Baron, Intrepid, Kesheng, and Paint Brush.
Jenny Wren was not in much request, and My Mary was so
little fancied that 20 to 1 was laid once and offered after-
wards. A few small bets were made on the Cambridgeshire

The Company of -----'---Spectacle Makers held their
quarterly Court at the London Coffee-house on Thursday
last, when about forty gentlemen sat. down to a sumptuous
dinner; among whom were—Sir George Carroll, the Lord
Mayor Elect, Sir James Duke, M.P., Admiral Dundas;
Mr. Barry Baldwin, M.P., the Chamber7ain, Mr. Brown, J.
Sievwright, Esq., J. Stone, Esq., Mr. Littwyce, Mr Dolland,
Mr. Harmer, and several other highly respectable gentlemen,
members of this rising Company. Admiral Dundas, in re-
turning thanks for the navy, stated that the Wcoden Walls
of Old England were never in a better condition than they
were at present to uphold the honour and protect the inte-
rests of the country; and, in speaking of the arduous ser-
vices which time navy were required to perform, alluded with
much kind feeling to the melancholy less of the promising
commander of the Eclair, Captain Estcourt, and so many of
his officers and crew. Thu Lord Mayor Elect, in returning
thanks for his health, gave an assurance that " Punch"
should not hare occasion to :ay that the larder was kept
stingy, or the cellars empty at the Mansion-house, or that
lie would be wanting in hospitality to all his fellow-citizens
during the ensuing Mayoralty. 111 r. Barry Baldwin returned
thanks upon bring elected a liveryman of the Company,
which boasted of several or the nohilit
as well as many of the most respectableram merchants of the
Ci y, and assured them it would be his pride to cultivate
their good opinion. The health of the Master, and several
other. toasts, were drank, and the

A LEARNED CIIIIRCIIWARDEN.—At a village in
Sou'h Lincolnshire, not many days ag., on the occasion of
the examination of the school children, the clergyman in-
vited the churchwarden of the parish to put some questions
to them in natural history; whereupon the following learned
query was made—" Which o' the Kings Ns or it as burnt the
cakes ?" Thus propounding, if not a question in natural
history, one at least fur a churchwarden very natural in his-
tory.—Cambridge Chronicle.

WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.
The revision of the lists for this city commenced yesterday,
before D. C. Moylan, Esq., in the Vice-Chancellor's Court,
Westminster Hill.
IMPORTANT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLUB-
HOUSES.—In the parish of St. James, Mr. Vernon Harford
claimed in respect of an apartment attached to the Reform
Club.

Mr. Beck, the steward of the club, was examined by Mr.
Trott in support of the claim, and he stated that Mr. Har-
ford had occupied an apartment in the dormitory of the club
for four years, for which he paid SOL a•year, and the dormi-
tories never let fur a shorter period than twelve months.
Those who slept at the club had a private entrance at 105,
Pall-mall, by which no member except those who slept there
had access. The rent was paid to the witness, and by him to
the secretary.

By the Bi:innisrEn—lf these gentlemen go down into the
hall of 105, Pall-mall, they can get into the club-house, but
not otherwise.

Mr. Buzzard, the vestry clerk, stated to the Court,in
answer to a question, that the secretary of the club is rated
for the whole premises.
The Learned 13A1iusrEn said, as these gentlemen appeared
to have exclusive entrance by the door of 105, Pall-mall, he
should allow the claim.
Mr. J. T. Tancred, M.P., and Mr. William Coffin also
claimed under precisely the same circumstances, and their
names were placed on the list of voters.
There are altogether twenty members who have seperate
apartments in the dormitories, but these were the only claims
made this year, and for the first time.

The list; of St. Anne, Solo, St. Clement's, St. Mary-le-
Strand, and the precinct of the Savoy, were gone through.
Mr. Trott applied that the overseers of the parish of St.
Clement should be fined for retaining names on the lists,
fourteen of whom had been expunged before, and six of them
three times; and also because the lists of voters could not be
obtained in proper tune.
The consideration of the ques:ion was deferred.
The result of the day's revision was as follows:—Conserva-
tive claims, allowed 4, disallowed 2 ; objections, allowed 36,
disallowed 5. Radical claims, allowed 3, disallowed 6; oltjec-
tions, allowed 38, disallowed 5.

VAuxtrALr. GARDENL—The entertainments yes-
terday evening were intended to be fir the benefit of Messrs.
Wardell and Holt, and a very attractive bill of fare was pre-
pared, including the balloon, tableaux ricans, &c. However,
Vauxhall'sper-
nuttedt got checks for Wednesday evening, which, to use the
words of a notice posted in the gardens, is, "wet or dry,"
to be the last night. Those who remained had ample enter-
tainment in the striking performances of Professor Keller and

THE RATING OF CLERICAL STIPENDS TO THE
POOR-RATES.—Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held
in the vestry-room of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, to
take into consideration the application of the Rev. 11.1 r. Hor-
ton, the Re: tor, to be relieved from having his stipend in
the lieu of tithes rated to the poor-rates. Mr. Houle, the
Rector's Warden, having been called to the chair, the Rev.
Mr. Horton said
he was very sorry that he had been under
the necessity of applying for a vestry to get their decision to
enable him to be relieved from the payment of poor-rates out
of his stipend, and he made the application upon these
grounds :—he was the first Rector that had ever resided in
the parish; for nineteen years he bad resided amongst them,
( seven of which he had been their rector •
not a shilling was
laid out of the parish, while for a period of nineteen years
he had not been absent three months. Yet paying as he
did the utmost attention to his spiritual duties, he was the
only rector whose stipend had ever been rated. A long dis-
cussion ensued, in which various opinions were stated in
favour of and against the rating, the legality of which was
. stated to be unquestionable. A motion was then proposed
by Mr. Palmer to the effect, that the vestry should instruct
the parish officers not to enforce the rate. This motion was
received with much opposition, and finally an amendment
was agreed to for adjourning the vestry sine die.

TROTTlNG.—Yesterday a match was decided at
Norwood, between a bay horse, belonging to Mr. Letchley,
and a cob, the property of Mr. Wales (sporting butchers, of
Lambeth) ; the contest was in harness, over three miles of
road, and the stakes U. aside. At the start the horse went
away at the lead, which he maintained the first mile, and
completing the distance in 3 min. 18 sec., and at the conclu-
sion of the second mile they were neck and neck, and
trotting at an easy pace, and covered the second mile in 3i
minutes ; on thecommencement of the last mile, the horses
were pushed for an increased speed ; the bay horse then
broke to a gallop, and was pulled in. The cob then took
the lead, and maintained it to the end of the distance, and
won by 150 yards, accomplishing the three miles in 10
ruin. 16 see.
