REGISTRATION COURTS.

The following are the results, issuing out of the
objections made by both Liberal and Tory parties in
the country, in the different Revising Courts of the
towns and boroughs specified below :
WEST NORFOLK.—TotaI gain for the Whigs, '250.
—Norwich Mercury.
EAST SOMERSET.—CIear Liberal gain, 346.
Keene' s Bath Journal.

WEST RIDING, YORK.—It may be safely stated
that here the Tories have put on several hundred
double claims, which will prove so many phantoms on
the day of election.—Leeds Mercury.
ABERYSTWITH.—Twenty-two entirely new votes
have been gained in this borough by the Liberals.
BEVERLEY.—The result of the Parliamentary revi-
sion here shows a total Liberal gain of 52, which,
with the gain of 45 last year, places the Reformers in
a position to return two representatives, should an
election take place under the present registry.—Leeds
Mercury.
BEWDLEY.—The objections preferred by the Re-
form party were 66, claims 14 ; objections by the To-
ries 52, claims 19. The actual number of the consti •
tuency of the borough is now about 360.—Worcester
Chronicle.
CITY or Duumksi.—The apparent majority here is
in favour of the Tories to the number of 11. The
balance, however, is turned in favour of the Liberals
by the fact that 25 out of the 41 objections sustained
by the Tories were against individuals who were not
on last year's register, and whose rejection, conse-
• quentl. ,v involves no diminution of the ,former strength
of the Liberal party.—Durham Chronicle.

three.—Hull Rockingham.
KNARESBOROUGH.—In this town there is a majority
of four in favour of the Whigs.—Leeds Mercury.

real gain of 35.—Leicestershire Mercury. .

borough have had 18 expunged ; the Reformers, 14.
The new voters on the side of the latter are as two
to one.—Hants independent.
PETERBOROUGH.—The termination of the revision
has been considerably in favour of the Liberal party.
—Cambridge independent.
TEWICESBURY.—The Parliamentary revision here
leaves the Liberals in a clear gain of 12 votes.—Wor-
cester Chronicle.

THE ARUNDEL BANK.

MESSRS. HOPKINS

AND DREWETT'S

BANKRUPTCY.

(Before Commissioners Green, Ellis, and Powell.)
On Monday morning a meeting of creditors in this
bankruptcy took place at the Norfolk Arms Inn,
Arundel, for the proof of debts, the audit of the ac-
counts, and declaration of a dividend.
Mr. French attended as solicitor for the assignees.
Mr. Blackmore, solicitor, of London, tendered a
proof for 881. 4s. 6d., by Mr. Wilson, a co-assignee
with Mr. Hopkins, under a Mr. Bowman's bank-
ruptcy.
Mr. Mant, a solicitor, tendered a proof for Mr.
Tomkins, the surviving assignee of Penfold, for
4851. 10s. 10d., under similar circumstances.
The Commissioners, after a long consultation, ad-
mitted both the proofs.
Mr. Edmunds, a solicitor, of Wanking, made an
application for Mr. Hopkins, one of the bankrupts,
fur the usual allowance.

_
Mr. Blackmore applied, on behalf of Mr. Drewett,
for a similar allowance. _ .

The Commissioners granted the applications, and
directed the assignees to pay to Messys. Hopkins and
Drewett 4001. each.

The auditing of the assignees' accounts since the
last dividend meeting were then gone into. On the
separate estate of James Hopkins, after paying the
creditors 20s. in the pound, the assignees had a balance
in hand of 1,6851. Bs. 10d. to be carried to the joint
estate. On the separate, estate of John Dreviett, the
assignees had a balance in hand of 4,4861. 16s. 10d. to
be carried to the joint estate, after paying the credi-
tors under the separate estate 20s. in the pound. On
the joint estate, the accounts showed a balance in hand
amounting to 8.2061. Bs. 5d., out of which a dividend
of 4s. in the pound was declared, making on the joint
estate 14s. in the pound. On the separate estates of
both the bankrupts, 20s. in the pound has been paid.
The Commissioners complimented Mr. French for
the manner in which he had worked the fiat for the
benefit of the creditors.

THE WEATHER:We have had severe stormy
weather since Monday last. On that day the wind
changed to the north, and on Wednesday there were
several showers of snow. The hills, particularly Ben
Wyvis, have put on their winter garb, which, upc,n
the whole, is early even for our stern climate.. So
boisterous and rough hag the weather been, that the
Duke of RiChthond ster.mer is two days behind her
time ; and we understand that the snow lay nearly
two feet deep on the Highland road on Thursday.--
