LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY.

The supplies into this port, coastwise and from Ireland,
since Tuesday last, have continued to come forward very
sparingly ; but of foreign Wheat and Flour the arrivals are
large, as specified underneath, and are being placed under
lock ; except the Canadian Flour, which being subject to a
duty of 31d. per barrel only, is of course free for consump-
tion.

In the week ending 7th May last, as then stated, duty was
paid on 83,237 qrs. foreign Wheat, and 143,690 barrels
Flour,

Duty paid within the same period.. 60,424 „ 56,709 ,

Leaving in bond at the present time 89,276 „ 110,659 „
These liberated quantities of Wheat and Flour, added to
the stock previously released, afforded for this day's market
a good display of samples, which being met by a tolerable
number of town and country buyers, most kinds of foreign
Wheat were in moderately fair request at the advance of
Friday, although the unexpected decline in London yester-
day seemed to check any lively or extensive demand ; and of
English or Irish very few sales were effected.
United States Flour, duty-paid, continued to be taken
rather freely at the advance above mentioned, and Canadian
was saleable at from 355. to 365. per barrel.
Bonded Flour, being held on higher terms, appear to have
prevented any further transactions since Friday.
Foreign Barley, upon a fair inquiry, supported late prices.
Malt and Peas remained unvaried.—Beans, gradually be-
coming more difficult of sale, were is per qr. cheaper.
Oats and Oatmeal, although continuing to meet a limited
demand, were held at the rates last noted.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE-YESTERDAY.
At our market this morning we had a tolerably good show
of English Wheat fresh up ; in the early part of the day
factors held firmly for higher prices, which, however, would
not on any account be agreed to by our millers, and it was
not until an abatement of is. per quarter on last Monday's
prices was accepted, that any progress could be made in ef-
fecting sales, at which reduction business to a fair extent
took place. Fine foreign Wheat was not much in demand,
and barely maintained its previous value. The Flour trade
was dull, and both town and country manufactured were the
turn cheaper. Of Barley the receipts were moderate, and,
with a steady inquiry for grinding sorts, last week's rates
were fully realised. We have to report rather a liberal ar-
rival of Oats during last week, besides a good fresh supply
this morning. Factors were, nevertheless, firm in their de-
mands, and it was only in partial instances that any abate-
ment was submitted to. Beans and Peas were without alter-
ation either as regards demand or value.

PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION.
CONSERVATIVES !
REMEMBER THE TWENTIETH OF JULY !!

Lord John Russell's tampering with the reform act can
have no effect on the approaching registration. The old sys-
tem will therefore be pursued. Let conservatives bear in
mind that, if we have no election before the 20th of July,
there will be one immediately afterwards ; and should the
whigs dissolve the parliament prior to that date, it is not
improbable that Sir Robert Peel may find it necessary to
follow their example before the registration of 1841. Atten-
tion, therefore, to these requirements is absolutely necessary
to that brilliant success which is awaiting the friends of the
protestant constitution.

The qualification is the occupation of a house, warehouse,
counting house, shop, or other building within the borough,
of the clear annual value of ten pounds, twelve months pre-
vious to the 31st of July.
The occupant must reside within seven miles of the bo-
rough. The rates and taxes due must be paid previous to
the 20th of July, and the occupant must be rated in his own
name.

Joint occupiers are also entitled to be registered, under
the same stipulations, provided also that the share of each oc-
cupant be of the clear yearly value of ten pounds.

COUNTY VOTERS.

Voters who were on the list last ie;r are not required to
make a fresh claim, if they possess the same qualification,
and reside in the same place, as they did when the last regis-
try was made; but if they have changed their place of resi-
dence, or any change has taken place in the nature of the
qualification, it will be necessary for them to send in fresh
claims, and to pay the registration fee in the same manner
as though they had never been registered.
Blank forms of claims may be had on application to the
overseers.

The following is a brief abstract of the qualification for
county voters :
Property qualifying County Voters, if they possess a suffi-

cient Interest.
ANNUITIES—when payable out of land.
BUILDINGS—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold.
CHARGE—of a sum of money upon land, if the owner of
such charge be in the actual occupation of the property
charged.
COMMON—rights of.
LANDS—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold.
M INES—of coal, ironstone, &c.
PEws—if the act of parliament for building the church in
which they are declares them to be freehold of inheritance.
RENTs—rent charges, chief rents, fee farm rents, ground
rents.

SHAREs—in navigable rivers, canals, &c., if held as real
property.

'hill-Es—held by clergymen or laymen.
TOLLS—of markets or fairs.
It is not generally known as it ought to be
to the 26th clause of the reform act, the
, that according
owners
of
property,
acquired by descent, succession, marriage,
settle-
ment, devise, promotion to any benefice inmttreriage
c.hurch, or
promotion to any office, are entitled to vote (the
claimed before the 20th of July), although the same being
may have come into possession of the parties an 710 property
vious to the day of registration. The prevailing
not: pre-
that
six months' possession is necessary, is altogether erroneous.
For freehold land and buildings, the requisite clear annual
value is forty shillings, with six months possession previous
to the 31st of July.
For freehold land and buildings for life or lives, as a cor-
poration lease for lives and years, the requisite clear annual
value is ten pounds, with six months' possession, except
when the property is in the actual possession of the owner,
or acquired by marriage settlement, devise, &c., or of which
he was seized on the 7th June, 1832, in which case forty
shillings is sufficient.
A house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop, within the
borough, and of ten pounds annual value, will not give a
county vote to the owner, if in his own occupation.
For copyhold property, the requisite clear annual value is
ten pounds, with six months' possession. If within the
borough, will not give a county vote.
For the lessee or assignee of an original term of fifty years,
however small the residue of the term, the requisite annual
value is ten pounds, with twelve months possession. If within
the borough,
will not confer a county vote.
the lessee or assignee of a term of twenty years, how-
ever
small the residue, and the occupier of lands, &c, at an
annual rent, the requisite I -ear y value is fifty pounds, with
twelve months possession.• •
If within the borough, will not
give a county vote.
Mortgagees
or trustees in actual poss •
ession or receipt of
rents and profits to
their own use, may register according to
to the nature of the property.
Conservatives ! remember •
the twentieth of July, and the
calls of your country, religion, and laws !

CHRISTIAN ADVICE.—A priest directed his flock from the
altar of Castlebar chapel on Sunday, to throw boiling water
upon any persons who mightbring tracts to their houses. He
understood, he said, "the wives of swaddling preachers" and
they would not, he was sure, go there
again others were in the habit of doing so ; but let them be treated
poison. Father James Hughes advisedasahine owr
idtehr etdh, e r and
po
another sort of chastisement for those who were so wicked as
to attempt to disseminate scriptural truths. The pitchfork
or the bog-hole were, in his eyes, the proper punishment.
Scalding is the favourite mode prescribed by his brother in-
quisitor who held forth on Sunday. Most Christian pastors,
