PUBLIC OPINION.

The Cambrian contains the following remarks on
the presumed course of Tory policy :—" If any re-
liance can be placed on the articles which proceed
from the Tory newspapers, it seems that the parties
now holding the reins of office intend to wage war
against the manufacturing system, for reasons suffi-
ciently obvious to the most superficial observer. In
all countries where manufacturing exists to a great
extent, its promoters are in most cases supporters of
free principles and institutions; and necessarily op-
posed to monoi3olies. It is, upon this view of the
case, not difficult to comprehend why the Tories en-
tertain an aversion for those engaged in manufactures,
and at the same time instil these feelings into vast
numbers of the middle classes."

The following is from the Dublin Evening Post.—
"When introducing the Income-tax, Sir Robert Peel
dwelt upon the great favour extended to Ireland by
exempting her from that impost. But we fear that
the exemption we have received in that respect has
been- much more than counterbalanced by the actual
taxation put upon us, between the new duty upon
whiskey and the new and increased stamp duties."
The Leeds Times says :—".An unusual hush now
seems to pervade all parties in the State. Contrasted
with ten years ago, this silence is most ominous.
Then the universal cry was, ' Keep out the Tories,'
or, Down with the Tories !'—words which have now
entirely lost their power. The Tories are in office ;
and, what is most singular of all, treading in the very
footsteps of their predecessors. All of which serves
to teach, that though parties may veer and change,
principles are eternal, and that the tendencies of
society are still steadily onwards,"
We quote the following from the Devonport Inde-
pendent :—" During the Parliamentary recess the
country has time to consider the operation of Sir R.
'Peel's recent measures, and among the rest his cun-
ningly devised Corn-law excites particular attention by
its very peculiar effects. Farmers, corn-factors, and
consumers are alike puzzled by it. It is a perpetual
riddle to every body. Among its pleasant conse-
quences may be mentioned the failures of dealers in
corn at home and abroad; while, the farmers murmur
at low prices, yet the consumers find their bread still
dear."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Cesarewitch and the Derby were the only events
touched upon—and on these, owing to the absence in the
north of several of the influentials, betting was not brisk

close.:—

WESTMINSTER' REGISTRATION.
Thomas' James Arnold, Esq., the Barrister ap-
pointed to revise the lists of voters for the City of
Westminster, held his Court at ten yesterday morn-
ing, pursuant to the provisions of the Reform Act,
and, by permission of Lord Langdale, at the Rolls'
Court, Westminster.

The total number of claims by the Liberals this
year is 100, and the total number of objections is
785, being 569 on the House List, and 216 on the
Scot and Lot. The Tories make only 16 claims,
whilst the total number of their objections is 328,
being 307 on the House, and 21 on the Scot and Lot
Lists.

Mr. Trott and Mr. Huggett, the Reform Advocates,
attended for the Reformers, and the Messrs. Score,
sen., and jun., attended for the Tories.
The REVISING BARRISTER, having announced his
intention of proceeding with the parishes in alpha-
betical order,
Mr. Score begged to ask 'whether the Court con-
sidered it necessary to inquire that the overseers' lists
had been published on the church doors, conformably
to the Act of Parliament.
The REVISING BARRISTER, in a lengthened and
elaborate judgment, gave it as his opinion that such
an inquiry was not necessary; at any rate in the pre-
sent stage of the inquiry he did not think that he
could enter into the investigation, nor indeed did he
think that this was the proper tribunal before which
such an investigation should take place. The 44th
and 47th sections of the Reform Act were binding
upon the overseer to make out lists of voters as well
as lists of persons claiming to vote, and persons to
whom objections had been made, and to fix such lists
upon the church doors; and they (the overseers) were
liable to a penalty of 5001. if they wilfully neglected
their duty. But there was no clause empowering the
Revising Barrister to inquire that the overseers had
performed their duty in this particular.
The lists of the various parishes were then re-
ceived, and the Court proceeded with the parish of
St. Anne, in which parish the Liberals make 35 ob-
jections, and the Tories none.

TO MARINERS.—PRESERVATION OF LIFE
AT SEA.
A letter has been addressed to Lloyd's, from Mr. Ed-
ward Jennings, Lieutenant R.N., suggesting the general
adoption, in rough weather, of life lines being led fore
and aft, both to windward and leeward, so that the men
have something to lay hold of in passing from one end
of the vessel to the other. In addition to this, he advises
that each man be furnished with a belt, made gasket
fashion, about a fathom and a half long. The utility of
this is shown by the wearer when in an exposed situa-
tion, such as on the forecastle, conning, steering, &c.,
taking two half hitches with it, to either the life line, or
any of the standing rigging, &c. He observes, that such
a belt could not interfere with the wearer's duty aloft, as
at such times the end might be wound round the body
and tucked in. He concludes by impressing the neces-
sity of each captain of merchant vessels being supplied
with a good barometer, vs a great deal of wear and tear
of spars and canvas might be avoided, and the loss of
shipping also prevented.

His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge,
Prince Frederick, the Hereditary Prince of Meck-
lenburg Strelitz, and Viscount Cantalupe, came over
from Antwerp in the General Steam Navigation
Company's steam-ship Soho, Captain T. Whitcombe,
and landed on Sunday at the Brunswick Wharf, Black-
wall. His Royal highness Prince George proceeded
immediately to his residence St. James s Palace.
The General Steam-Navigation Company's fa-
vourite steamer Rainbow, still continues to make her
accustomed quick passages, notwithstanding the wea-
ther has been somewhat different to the height of the
summer. She arrived yesterday only having oc-
cupied 17 hours and a-half from the time she left
Antwerp until the whole of her passengers had dis-
embarked at the Brunswick Pier, a passage which
surpasses any
thing that could be performed by any
vessel out of the river.
The General Steam Navigation Company's vesel
the Ocean, !;last, from Rotterdam, arrived off the ens-
torn-house on Sunday, with the Dutch mail ; also the
John Bull, Corbin, and Hamburgh, arrived off the Tower
yesterday morning, with the Hamburgh mail.
