THE REGISTRATION.

We strongly urged all conservatives, in our last publication,
❑ut to overlook the important steps requisite to be taken before
the 20th instant, in order that they mar be duly enrolled as
electors either for the county or borough. We cannot too often
repeat to them our earnest solicitations in this respect. 71's
register must never be foriptien, much less at a time when it i 5
the especial duty of every conservative to stand forward in de'
fence of the protestant institutions of his country.
We once more urge upon them the following points connected
with the registration.

County Voters—claiming to vote for the first time—must on
or before the 20th July deliver to the overseer of the parish
or township where the property is situated a notice in the foi"
lowing form
To the overseers of the parish (or township) of
I hereby give you notice that I claim to be inserted
in the list of voters for the county of , and. that the
particulars of my place-of abode and qualification are stated
below.—Dated the day of in the year IS3
13.

Place of abode,

Nature of qualification,—Freehold house, or warehouse,
stable, land, field, annuity, rent charge, &c., as the case may be.
giving such description of the property as may serve to identify it'
Where situate in this parish (or township.) If the property
I.:e not situate in any street, lane, or other like place, then say
name of the property, or name of the occupying tenant.
A person whose name is already on the register need not
send in the above claim, provided he retains the same qualifi-
cation, and continues iu the same place of abode described 10
the register. • _

Borough Voters.—Any person who has resided for six calendar
months next previous to the last day of July within the parlia-
mentary borough, or within seven statute miles of the boundary
thereof, and has occupied for twelve calendar months previous
to the last day of July within the said borough, either as owner
or tenant, a house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, or other
building, being either separately or jointly with any land withia
such borough, occupied by.him as owner or tenant of the clear
yearly value of not less than £lO, and all rates and taxes do
for the same before the sixth of April, is entitled to be placeS
on the list of voters published on the last day of this month.
The premises occupied throlughout the twelve months need
not be the same, but may be different premises occupied in it'll'
mediate succession, the rates and taxes having been paid on all.
The premises may be occupied jointly, as by partners, and,
each-person will be,entitled to be registered, provided the clear
yearly value divided by the number of occupiers shall give to
each and every one a sum of not less than ten pounds, and pro-
vided they are all mentioned by name on the rate.

It may happen that a person may have commenced an occu,
pancy of premises, at some period immediately before the lay'
ing of a rate, (either in this parish or the adjoining townships,
included within the parliamentary borough,) and his name maY
be omitted from such rate, the overseer- having been ignorant
of his being an occupier. Persons suspecting that this may be
the case should search at the rate-office, and ascertain whether
their names are on the rate; if not, they should deliver to the
overseer a notice in the following terms :

To the overseers of the parish (or township) of
I hereby claim to be rated to the relief of the poor jo
the parish or township of , in respect of house, Bcc.,
situate in -street, in aforesaid, occupied by Me,
and I herewith tender the full amount of any rates now due
in respect of such preinises.—..Dated this day of
1836.

The same precaution should also be used, and the same 13°-
tice adopted by individual partners in firms who are not rated
by name, the house or firm being rated.
A claim•to be rated, and a tender are equivalent to beirig
rated. •

Parties who have any doubts as to the correctness of their
tax and rate-payers, and who apprehend on that account any
future difficulty in obtaining their votes, should inquire at the
offices of the respective overseers, and rectify any error before
the 20th July.

The eastern portico of the New Custom-house was finished
on Friday last. _ _

COURT OF PASSAGE.—This Court opened yesterday, before
the Mayor and Charles Crompton, Esq., assessor. There ale,
thirty-one causes which are defended, eighteen undefende'
causes, and. four inquiries. Only eight of the causes hare be°
disposed of. We ale obliged from press of matter to omit el-
ing a report.
ACCIDENT. —On Monday last, as a person named Moffit, and
another man, were driving along Shaw-street, in a gig
belong
ing to Messrs. Richardson -and Cowburn, the horse suddentl
became unmanageable, and set at a furious rate,. ve'eriag
alternately from one side of the street to the other, and threaten'
ing to precipate both vehicle and inmates into the dangerolLs
hollows that line certain parts of the road. After running in
this manner for about two hundred yards, the rapidity of Ors
motion, together with the. shelving of the road and the weigui
of the driver, who is a very lusty man, caused the gig to hee
over, and it turned completely bottom upwards. Mr. Moffat and
his companion were thrown in a heap beneath it: the former
had his face severely cut, and, was for some time insensible;
the latter providentially escaped without injury. The bOO6
was immediately secured, and when 'released from the gig re;
mained perfectly quiet. With the exception of ...saig6t,u,„,).
on the back of the hoof, the horse sustained no damage.

FlRE.—Yesterday about one o'clock, as some carters were
turning up a cart opposite Mr. Willis's warehouse, iu Wapping
i
the cellar under which is occupied by Mr. Hallows, and Lille"
with sulphur, some- part of the iron-work of . the cart striking
against the stone pavement produced a spark Which ignitiq
Some scattered sulphur, the flame-ran and communicated wit"
the sulphur in the cellar, the whole mass of which was
in-
stantly in a blaze. The cellar also contained thirty-five casks
of oil. The fire engines, under the superintendence of M
Whitty, were quickly on the spot. The smoke, however,
so intense and suffocating that there was no getting doWn
the cellar, and it was so thick that the firemen could not to
'
where to play. Hewit twice went down into the cellar with
rope tied round him, and was both times dragged up insensi:
ble.- At length a hole was broken through the wall and the eel
lar completely deluged with water, and in about twenty minute:,
the fire was extinguished. The building itself has undergo'',
bat trifling damage : the whole of the sulphur, however, is de-
stroyed. It is fully insured in the Phcenix Office. •.•
THE BOILER MAKERS' CLUB.—On Monday about three how
Bred of the members of this club paraded the town, aceot,
panted by bands of music and ban'n'ers. A large number of tu"
same club, accompanied by a band of music, arrived from Mans
Chester by the ten o'clock train in the morning. The meinberl
as a body looked very respectable and were very neatly dresse
in blue coats and white trowsers. They conducted theinseire'
with the greatest order and regularity, and in the etc-nook'
dined together at various public houses in the town.
DRUNKARDS BEWARE OF THE STOCKS.—On Tuesday, at
Police-office, a number of persons were brought up after the 11
lice business was concluded, as is generally the case, to he dis
charged they having been fined ss. for getting drunk and OA
being able to pay, had been.kept in custody all day before O.'
call night and were brought up that day expecting to be di
charged. • Batcheldor, the bridewell-keeper, said he thought !,
his duty to inform the magistrates that it was customary whe7
men were fined for getting drunk, knowing that they would bet
discharged next day if they did not pay, to stay the day oe,.t
and refuse to accept the assistance of their friends who mlg",.
come .to pay the fine. Mr. Hall said he had power. under th'e
act of parliament to put them in the stocks, and he found a
must do it if the fines were in such manner to be evade
' Whenever in future he found tli:s to be the case, he should sell:
tence the persons to be confined in the stocks.

THE CROPs.—The hay harvest is generally going forso,l
throughout this and the adjoining counties of Cheshire 0;1
Yorkshire. The hay in general is stinted in growth, and I,c
- some. places, owing to the continued drought thigh we 1132,4
had, it.is exceedingly thin-- The weather --at present is
favourable for getting it in, which will in some degree make
for deficiency of quantity. The wheat and oat crops are c..1.if7,,
where looking well, and promise to be a productive crop. '

still want mote rain.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE COUNTY MAGISTHATS•"*"i
annual meeting of the magistrates for this county was hei"ote

agreed, that the boroughs tit Liverpool and Wigan shoill"to-
permitted to send their prisMiers to Kirkdale gaol, as her'io
fore ; this consent, however, to be subject to the approb,f,
of the magistrates at the annual sessions in September. "ivi-
Addison, El:, rose and said: as it was agreed that The Prio
legesiof sending prisoners from Liverpool and 'Wigan 5" 0.,
be continued, and as it was likely others towns in the

visiting magistrates in the respective districts should font'ci
