Mr. Mayhew said it appeared to him that, instead of
the claimants having a valid qualification, they only re-
ceived 30s. each. The property might have been worth
the required sum when purchased, but it was clearly now
not worth more than 30s. a-year to each voter ; and if
that was allowed, it might next year be reduced to 205.,
and in a few years to nothing at all. In fact, they might
be what he believed they really deserved to be denomi-

Mr. Mayhew : There is an act of parliament which
makes it imperative on the owners of property to pay the
township rates, and will any one tell me that such a
charge does not diminish the value of property ?
Mr. Lofthouse pertinaciously contended that in 2,000 (!)
other cases he had succeeded in South Lancashire under
similar circumstances, the Barristers deciding that
rates ought not to be deducted from the

PANORAMA OF THE NILE.—An exhibition of a most
interesting character was opened last night, at the
Panorama-hall, in Bold-street. It is a gigantic pictorial
representation, displaying about 1,300 miles of picturesque
scenery on both banks of that mighty river which flows
through Egypt, Nubia, and Ethiopia; and, as a work of
art, is entitled to great praise. It is rendered further
interesting by an accompanying lecture explanatory of the
various objects ; and, in addition, the horrors of slavery
are described by an intelligent native of Darfur, in the
interior of Africa, who was himself a victim of that dia-
bolical system. We have no doubt that the exhibition
will be extensively patronised.
A SHOW OF BRIDES.—The Summer Garden of St.

with no other that I am aware of, save with the
of the Tuileries at Paris. Like the chesnl
