"Stn,,—l take the liberty of writing to give you an account
of a vessel I saw on the 25th of Oct., about half way between
the Spurn and the Dudgeon light vessel. At 9 A.M. saw the
bessel's mast and gaff ends, supposed to be a steam-boat, as
the mast was so much smoke-dyed, and the floating wreck
about 20 minutes after. Be so good as to notice this in your
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.

THE REGISTRATION OF 1835.

(From Fraser's 41agazine for November.)

We have taken the trouble, whenever an opportunity has
presented itself, of noting down the actual details, and shall
now offer to our readers a general view of these results, as
far as they are worth reporting.
For there are many counties and many boroughs, let it be
borne in mind, respecting which there can be nothing to re-
port.. More than half the counties of England are now no
longer the arenas of political contest. In South Derbyshire,
for instance, South Shropshire, East Norfolk, South Essex,
North Lancashire, Westmoreland, Oxfordshire, Notting-
hamshire, Leicestershire, East Kent, and several other
counties, in which the conservatives are in quiet possession,
nothing of the least consequence has been transacted. The
radicals and Whigs have resigned themselves to their fate ;
and the whole business Of the registration has subsided into
mere routine. In one or two other cases they have been
active, but without a❑y important result. They claim in the
county of Huntingdon, an advantage of about 100 by this
registration. They were in a minority at the last election of
nearly 400. In North Shropshire they also claim a small
advantage, without, however, having the smallest chance of
gaining even one seat. Iu the boroughs they have better
luck ; but the drawing on their gains here is, that they merely
triumph in a few select places, which were constructed to be,
and always will be, whig or whig-radical preserves. At
Ashton, for instance, and at Manchester and Huddersfield,
they have profited slightly by the registration. At Liverpool
and at Preston neither party gained anything of the least
consequence. In the great boroughs, such as BirminghaM,
Finsbury, Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, the registration had
no results whatever, as far- as the character of the consti-
tuency was concerned. Let us now, however, procced to
state such results as may appear to be worth putting down,
beginning with the

have already had an opportunity of estimating, -th.
incalculabe advantages to the Belgian commerce, which in a
manner acquires the monopoly of the importations and ex-
portations of the continent by the addition to its railroads.
If Belgium cannot yet rival the foreigner, we may console
ourselves in seeing the establishment of the Thames, which
in a manner forms the link that unites the commerce of the
continent with Fngland, at the same time that it j the
Ostend and Antwerp railroad with the London. 'rho. forma-
tion of this establishment appears to us of so indisputable an
advantage, the benefits resulting from it to Belgium so self-
evident, and the future prospects of this speculation, consi-
dered in a financial pointof view, so certain, that we think it
probable our government will profit by the opportunity, and
possess itself of a part of the unremaining unappropriated
shares; we shall, at all events, take care to keep our readers
informed upon this subject.
SPEAKING IN CHURCH.—An unusual incident occurred a
few Sabbaths ago during public worship in a church in one
of the sea-ports on the Clyde. The clergyman was reading
a portion of Scripture early in the forenoon service, when he
was interrupted by a voice calling, " Haul in- that sheet
there!" The attention of the congregation was, of course,
directed to the quarter whence the voice issued, whet e a sailor
lad was discovered fast asleep in one of the views. " Haul
in ! haul in !" continued the mariner. with increasing vehe-
mence, when he was awakened by the church officer, who
beckoned him to the door, whither be followed him, looking
bewildered and affronted. He there expressed his sorrow for
the interruption he had unconsciously occasioned ; and,
under the apprehension that the people would think he was
intoxicated, was desirous of returning. He stated, what
was ppfectly true, that his vessel had arrived in port that
morning, and that he had slept none during the past night,
and very little on the two previously. Much to his credit,
he added that his mother had charged him, at whatever port
he was on Sabbath, that he would be Sure to attend the
church, and that he was in the habit of strictly complying
with her injunctions. The officer advised hint to go home
and sleep.till the afternoon, when he might-i.eturn refreshed,
which he did. Subsequent inquiry proved that the sailer •
