CONSERVATI VES,
REMEMBER THE TWENTIETH OF JULY !

All notices of claims to be inserted on the list of voters for
the county must be given to the overseers of the township in
which the property is situated on or before the 20th instant,
otherwise the claimant will lose his right for the ensuing
year.
One shilling must be paid to the overseers with each claim,
as a registration fee, or the claim will be of no service.
Voters who were on the list last year 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 registry
was made; but, if they have changed their place of residence,
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 qualifications for
county voters:—

Property qualifying County Voters, if they possess a suificien

interest.

Annuities—when payable out of land.
Buildings—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold.
Charge—of a sum of money upon lands, if the owner of
such charge be in the actual occupation of the property
charged.
Common—rights of.
Lands—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold.
Mines—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, free farm rents, ground
rents.

Shares—in navigable rivers, canals, &c. if held as real pro-
perty.
Tithes—held by clergymen or laymen.
Tolls—of markets or fairs.
It is not as generally known as it ought to he, that accord-
ing to the twenty-sixth clause of the Reform Act, the owners
of property, acquired by descent, succession, marriage, mar-
riage settlement, devise, promotion to any benefice in the
church, or promotion to any office, are entitled to a vote,
(the same being claimed before the 20th of July,) although
the said property may have come into the possession of the
parties an hour only previous to the day of registration. The
prevailing notion, that six months' possession is necessary,
is altogether erroneous.
Persons claiming to vote for the borough must pay all the
poor-rates and assessed taxes which were due on the 6th of
April last, on or before the 20th instant, otherwise they will
be disqualified for voting in the ensuing year. They need
not send in any claim, as the overseers are bound to place
upon the list all £lO householders who have paid their rates
in due time.—Manchester Courier.

PRESTON,

This town and neighbourhood was visited on Wednesday
by an awful thunder-storm, which commenced about two
o'clock. The rain fell in torrents. One man was killed by
the lightning ; another, who is in the employ of Messrs.
Horrocks, Jackson, and Co., who had, a crowbar in his
hand, received a very severe shock, but suffered no serious
personal injury. There is reason to fear that considerable
damage would be sustained by various factories, and other
large establishments in the neighbourhood.

MANUFACTURERS TO THE QUEEN AND ALL THE
ROYAL FAMILY,
51, BERNERS-STREET, LONDON.
EAL Judges of SODA WATER need not to he told
LI, that its main excellence consists in the LENGTH OF TIME
during which it retains its life and pungency AFTER IT IS
POURED OUT, and not (as many erroneously suppose) on the
force with which it expels the cork. This latter is rather the
characteristic of the commonest Soda Water, for the obvious
reason that the air is disengaged, whereas, by the peculiar
principle of SCHWEPPE'S process. the Carbonic Acid does
not escape with the cork, but, being thoroughly amalgamated
with the water, remains as a valuable medicinal feature in
their manufacture. The same observations will apply to their
Aerated Lemonade. Potass and Magnesia Waters.
Pray observe the RED LABEL, over the Cork, representing
their signature. as many of the other makers impose upon
the public by filling " Schweppe's Bottles" with their own
spurious Composition.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATurtnAy.

The house met to-day at twelve o'clock.
A number of petitions on various subjects were presented
by different members.
_ _

On the presentation of a petition by Mr. PRING LE against
the Scotch Royal Burghs Bill,
Mr. F. MA lAA: said he would take that opportunity of
giving notice that it was not his intention of proceeding fur-
ther with the Scotch Royal Burghs Bill during the present
session, but next session he should bring in an amended bill
on the same subject.
SHERIFFS' COURTS (SCOTLAND).
Mr. WALLACE inquired if the Lord Advocate had received
the report respecting the complaint of Wm. Barr, Esq.,
alleging delays by the sheriffs of theupper ward of the countyof Renfrew in administering justice in their courts ; and if
he had so received it, whether he had reported thereon to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department.
The LORD ADVOCATE said he had received a report of the
inquiry into the subject referred to by his hon. friend, but he
had not as yet made his report to the Secretary for the Home
Department. The subject would not be lost sight of. He
wished, however, to remind his hon. friend that the Sheriffs'
Courts (Scotland) Bill now in progress would have the effect
of putting a stop to such complaints in future. bill
would prevent unnecessary delay in administering justice in
the Sheriffs' Courts.

PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill, com-
mencing with the 15th clause.
Clause 15 was agreed to.
On clause 1G being read, appointing a board for the general
regulation of prisoners.
Mr. KtNNAIPD said he was of opinion there was no ade-
quate provision made for the appointment of borough magis-
trates to the general board. The Lord Lieutenant and sheriffs
of counties were members of the board ex (dficio, and he
thought borough magistrates ought to be also.
Mr. CHA LMERS proposed an amendment to the effect that
all lord provosts in Scotland should be ex officio members of
the general hoard.
Mr. F. M A CLE said he could not consent to the amend-
ment.

Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the committee
divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment 33
Against it

Majority .. 2O
The original clause was than agreed to.
After a desultory conversation, clauses up to. 30 were
agreed to.
On clause 31 being read,
Mr. HAWES objected to the clause on the ground that it
gave the judges the power of setting aside the orders of the
general board. He should divide the house on the clause.
Mr. F. MA LE defended the clause.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took
place.
Mr. HAWES withdrew his amendment, and the clause was
agreed to.
After a protracted desultory conversation, which lasted up-
wards of four hours, and related entirely to the alteration of
words the various clauses were agreed to, and the house re-
sumed.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was read the third time;
but on the question that it do pass some discussion arose (after
amendments had been proposed,) and the debate thereon was
eventually adjourned till Monday next.
The Marquis of LoNnoN DERRY gave notice that he should
take the sense of their lordships on the passing of this bill.
On the motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, an address was
agreed to for papers relating to the state of Canada.
The Sheriffs' Court (Scotland) Bill went through commit-
tee.

The Church Discipline Bill was brought in, and read the
first time, after which their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
Mr. FIELDEN presented an immense number of petitions
against the Poor Law Amendment Act.
Lord DUNGANNON gave notice that, when it came to be
moved, he should propose the discontinuance of the grant to
Maynooth College.
Lord J. RUSSELL (in answer to questions from the Marquis
Of CHANDOS and Mr. HEIZItIEs) said that he should have no
objection to produce lists of Lord Durham's appointments
and the salaries as far as they were known—that Lord Dur-
ham had the fullest powers to act—that the executive council
was appointed by his lordship agreeably to such powers—but
that (without disputing the right) it would tend to embarrass
his lordship if the forbearance of parliament was not extended
to him for the present.
The house, it was agreed, on the motion of Lord J. Rus-
SELL (though only by 123 to 97, is to meet on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, at twelve o'clock, to accelerate public busi-
ness.

Lord J. RUSSELL deferred the Registration of Voters (Ire-
land,) Bill " till next session."
Mr. HUME moved his resolutions regarding banks for
savings, but they were negatived.
Mr. GILLON moved an address, for an increase in the al-
lowances to the Duke of Sussex, so as to make them equal to
those enjoyed by other branches of the royal family,
Lord J. RUSSELL said, without entering into the merits of
the different branches of the royal family, he must oppose
this motion. Such a proposition could not originate in that
hornie; it must originate with the recommendation of the
crown,

Sir R. PEEr, concurred in this view.
After some discussion, the house divided on it. There
were for the motion 48, against it 98, majority against it 50.
The house having resolved into committee of supply, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved resolutions on the
estimates to meet the " coronation expenses," the miscel-
laneous services, and for the commissariat, which called forth
much desultory discussion, and occupied the remainder of the
sitting.

AN IRISH WAY OF. GOING TO fiii.—Capt. Watts, the master
of the ship Reindeer, from Rio de Janeiro, was summoned by
an Irishman, named John Wroughton, for the sum of £ll, under
very odd circumstances.
The Irishman said he had taken *liking to the sea, and shipped
on board the Reindeer at Liverpool, and proceeded to Rio and
back to London. The captain had refused to pay a far-
thing. _ _ _

Ballantine: Why, you surely are not a seaman ? I should
rather suppose you were a tailor.
Wroughton: That jist it. Faith I could climb the ladders—
(latighter)—im,i pull in the long ropes—(iucreased laughter)—
as hard as any body.
Mr. Ballantine said that ladder and long ropes were odd names
to give to the rigging and tackle of a ship, and asked the com-
plainant if he had ever gone to sea before?
The Complainant: Never, sir : it was my Gist trip across the
big waters of the say, except when I left mild Ireland.
Ballantine said he did not see the man's name in the ar-
ticles, or any sum affixed as wages. Ile inquired if the captain
could explain the matter ?
Capt. Watts, said he4ould, and stated that alew days after
the ship had left Liverptiol the Irishman, whom be had never
seen before, suddenly exhibited himself, and on asking him how
he got on board, the man said he was determined to go sea, and
bad stowed himself away in a part of the ship where he could not
be seen before the vessel left Liverpool. Of course he had no
other resource but to rake the man to Rio de Janeiro, where he
made a representation of the circumstance to the British consul,
and the complainant agreed to work his passage home without
wages. The captain produced the
.agreement signed by the
complainant, and the certificate of the,consul declaratory of the
Irishman's admission that he had concealed himself in the vessel,
and was not entitled to wages.
Mr Ballantine asked the complainant if what the captain said
we* correct, and he admitted that it was; but thought he was
entitled to wages, as the captain had taken him all the way to Rio.
and back.
The captain said he was obliged to do so. He could not put
back to Liverpool, though he might as well have thrown the Irish-
man overboard, for he was of no use on board.
Mr. Ballantine ordered the captain to be sworn to the truth of
his statement, and the declarations and certificates put in, which
having' been done, he gave the papers !Jack to Capt. Watts, and
ordered him the Irishman to go about his business, telling hint
he was a very impudent fellow.
The Irishman : What ! is there no wages for me, yer honour?
Sure, I've been to say and back again.
Mr. Ballantine ordered the next case to be called on, and
directed the sailor" to leave the office. Ha was sorry the
captain had been put to the trouble of meeting such a case.
