MALLOW REGISTRY.

The Mallow Sessions for the registration of voters in the East
Riding of the county of Cork, commenced on the third of
April. Claimants for votes, for the city of Cork, the bnrout.h
of Youc,hal, the luirough of I:locale; end the county of Cork,
flocked such ',umbels to Mallow, as spoke in the plainest and
most unmistakeable language both the existence and character
of a new principle of political energy. The open attempts
upon the religion of nineteen.tweutieths of the proprietary;
the unprincipled barter of the church of Eugland,—of the gene-
ral principles of private property-7-of national faith—fur the as-
sistance of Mr. O'Connell and the opposition to regain place,
and perhaps
.to compound with him the monster of a Whig-
O'Connell administration, have at length aroused the dormant
feelings of men who thought danger distant or exaggerated.
The results of the Mallow Registry are decisive. The county
—the city of Cork—Youghal—iiinssle,—have exhibited tn.
umphant,conservative'majorities. This uniformity of majorities
proves a genera/ and powerful principle— intheatt,s that the
alarm has reached the most intelligent and influential of the na-
tional constituency—the great landed proprietors —while the
miserable minorities of the revolutionists in all these places,
prove that they have ruu their pauper reservoir to the vary
dregs.
The proportions are so decided that we shall make fair allow-
ances, and still establish the most striking disparities. There
were registered for the county about one hundred and twenty
conservatives and fire revolutionists. Of the former about two.
thirds were £5O freeholders.

For the city of Cork, the conservatives mustered one hun-
dred and thirty-one, and their opponents from three to fire ;
twenty-six of the former were £5O freeholders.
For Youghal there tire thirty-three conservatives to eleven
revolutionists.
For Kin ale the conservatives had the day to themselves;
they registered ses'en.•
Let but a similar spirit he developed elsewhere, and Ireland
may yet recover character.—Cork Constitution..

The Poor Law Commissioners have issued a circular letter to
the principal manure( rulers in the north, stating that there is a
surplus population in the southern counties, and requesting to
be informed whether employment could be found in their facto-
ries. There is a stretch of their authority, which, we suspect,
the_act of parliament does not authorise. It is more than
doubtful whether the equalization of supply and demand is a fit
subject for the interference of au executive board of controul.
Watch ni a a.

The Court of Common Council rejected last week the follow_
ing motion:—" That the aldermen at present elected be conti-
nued for life, and that the only disqualification for this office be
cases of bankruptcy, insolvency, deeds of composition, taking the
benefit of the act, convictions for fraud, or other inisdemeannurs,
by the verdict of a jury, absence for a certain length of time
without leave of the common council, or generdl imbecility ;"
and agreed, by 63 to 38, to an amendment to the effect—" That
all aldermen hereafter to he elected shall be periodically elected
by the constituency." The period was then fixed at seven
years. The court of aldermen have resolved to oppose the
periodical electron to office.

iIE MARQUIS DE MUTI PAPAZURR I'S CONCERTS

The first of these concerts was given at the Wellington
Rooms, on Tuesday evening, Mr. George Holden officiating as
conductor. The company, snore select than numerous, did not
exceed two hundred. The concert was opened by an instru-
mental quartetto, (Beethoven,) performed in good style by the
Messrs. Hermann's and Wilton, (violins,) and Mr. Jackson on
the. violoncello. Bishop's glee—" Breathe my harp," was sung
•by Messrs. Gillow, (laird, and Pemberton, and George Hol-
den, the latter accompanying on the piano, in a very pleasing
Manner. The marquis, to show the versatility of his musical
talents, led an instrumental quattetto, sang a duetto with Sig.
Deval, and gave some brilliant performances on the piano.
One of these was selected by a lady or gentleman present, we
did not observe which, from one of fifty operas previously
named. This, although it enabled him to show the extent of
his musical rp.collections, approached somewhat nearer to
quackery than we should have expected from a gentleman of
the marquis's great and acknowledged talents as a musician
He is a pleasing singer; but his voice and style are better
adapted to the parlour than the concert-room. Of Madame
.Kyntherland, and Signors Deval and Ivlarani,we have nothing:
''to say that we have not already, on former 04;casiuns, said of
-their respective. merits. Mr. NIA ..sang Nefitunu's "I've
been toss'd among the wars" with great &assess of manner,
and with good effect. Mr. Pensberton's singing in "The
chamois hunters" was tame. There is a considerable degree,
'of richness and melody in his voice, but his great fault is im-
perfect articulation. John liemble, when giving lessons in
elocution to a late member of the royal family, is reported to
have said to his pupil, "Sir; be pleased to open your royal
jaws a little wider, or you will never be able to pronounce your
words so as to be understood." We would give Mr. Pemberton
the same piece of advice.
The only encore during the night was given to Miss Hamil-
ton, in the song of " The Rose of Allendale." The effect pro-
duced by this song equalled any thing we have heard for a long
time, and she appeased to convince her audience that the simple
melody which
,appeals to the feelings produces a much greater
degree of delight than the more complicated and elaborate
compositions, which excite only wonder or admiration. Every
tone or note of Miss Hamilton's voice is clear, distinct, and
imelodiousOndeed, we cannot imagine one more perfect, or
'possessing more entirely all the requisite qualities, to enable her
to take the station of a first-rate English singer. Her style of
singing, however, requires correction. Under a good master
this would soou Le effected; by a good master we mean one who
has a practical as well as a theoretical knowledge of music ;
one whu knows something more than the mere technicalities or
pedantry of the science. The concert was an exceedingly good
Oise, and went off with great spirit. All the pernrsuera were
very well received. -
'1 h e concert of which we have been speaking, induces us once
more to ask the gentry of Liverpool why we have not among
our public establishments one for the encouragement of music
upon-the scale of the Wellington Rooms ? There is scarce a
town in Enpl rod possessing one-third of the population, wealth,
intelligence, or rethreinent to be found here that is not better
pruvitied in this respect.

SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS.—In another part of our paper will
be found a copy of. the congratailatory address voted to Sir
Howard Douglas by his supporters in his late contest for the
borough of Liverpool, on his appointment to the office of lord
high commissioner of the lonian islands, and the gallant gene-
ral's reply thereto. The latter explains the reason why Sir
Howard was unable to accept the invitation of his frienits to
attend at a public dinner intended to be given him here before
his departure from England.
LIVER THEATRE.—Mr. W. J. Hammond, one of the lessees
of this theatre. who is about to tie translated to the London
boards, takes his benefit this evening. As au actor he possesses
a great fund of comic humour, which will, if we are not very
much mistaken, be properly appreciated in the metropolis, where
he will possess better opportunities of showing them to advan-
tage than he can possibly hope for in a country minor theatre.
Our best wishes accompany him, although we shall miss hint
touch where, and where alone, we have been accustomed to see
his performances. The amusements selected for this nii.cht's
.entertainment of his friends are very good and of great variety.
RESIGNATION OF His MAiiisTr's MINISTERS.—An express
edition -of 'The Sun, London evening paper, containing the
intelligence that his majesty's ministers had resigned, reached
Liverpool, via Manchester, at half-past one o'clock yesterday.
At Manchester a Rail-road engine with one carriage was en-
gaged to convey the express to this town. Within half-an-hour
after its arrival here, the news was telegraphed to Holyhead,
and answered. Mr. Perry, of the Ci; yof Dublin Steam Com-
pany, would have despatched one of the company's vessels to
Dublin with the information if there had been one in the river.
Unfortunately they were all in the dock, and, consequently,
eculd not to be got out until the state of the tide roanitted the
gates to be opened. In common with the public iu general,
we are much indebted to the conductors of The Sun for the
extraordinary exertions they are in• the habit of making in
order to give the earliest intimation of what is going on above,
although, recent events warrant us in saying that this direct
dispatch from that luminary is not calculated to give much
pleasute to the great majority of the people, and more
especially to the friends of order and good government. How-
ever this may be, the gentlemen of The Sun are entitled to our
_
thanks for the liberal and enterprising ;theyare whichh
displayed on this and other occasions, when events of import-
ance have occurred.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, LIVERPOOL:,-ID the matter
of an insolvent, who was heard on his petition on WedneSday,
the Bth instant, Mr. Commissioner Law observed that the
insolvent had made a return in his estate paper of only
twenty. pounds as available tor the benefit-of his creditors, but
owing to the activity of the provisional assignee of the court,
and the efficiency of his agent and auctioneer, Mr. Fianinel
Wiggins, a clear sum of seventy-eight pounds has actually
been recovered, after payment of rent and expenses, the
whole property producing one hundred and eleven pounds.
Two OF THE: COESHIRE COUNTS INIEMBERS.—With pain we
direct the attention of our readers to the votes of George Wil-
braham and Edward John Stanley, two of the members of this
county, upon Lord Juhn Russeir s motion for alienating the
revenues of the church. We need only say they afford
us a pretty exemplification of their " attachment" to our
venerable establishment, of which Mr. Wilbraham talked
so much prior to the late election. His conduct in thia in-
stance is really insufferable; but it is gratifying to know that
he will nut be permitted to escape without receiving the reward
Which he so peculiarly merits. Black-balled he must be at the
next election, and we shall feel surprised if Mr. Stanley fare
any better. It is time fur the protestant electors of this county
to- take rare that they no longer patronise men who would de-
stroy their church by applying her funds to the eueuuragement
of au hostile and unsocial religion. Such would be the imme-
diate tendency of Lord Russell's resolution if carried into effect;
and we cannot believe that any one who has voted for it will
again find favour in the eyes of the electors of Cheshire. We
have much pleasure in repeating that at the next -election Mr.
Wilinaham will have to resign his trust to a gentleman of un-
doubied talents, who will not only sedulously watch over the
interests of the farmer, but endeavour, by all means. to protect
the rights of property, and preserve the constitution from de-
struction in church and state.—Chester Courant.

A Giosarmoos STRANGER.—CALEDONIAN FREE SCHOOL..-.-
On Tuesday last the treasurer of the Caledoulan Free School,
Oldham-street, received a handsome donation from a stranger.
On iuquiry, we find that he had accidentally met with the last
annual report of the committee, the urgent appeal in which, fur
additional support to the friends of the religions education of
the poor, induced him, unknown and unsolicited, generously to
present ten pounds to the Luis of the charity. Tilis gentleman
is a native of the United State', and lately visited for the first
time the land of his forefathers, he Highlands of Scotland.
His father was a Highlarther and emigiant, and in the wilds of
the new world, no doubt, had impressed on the minds Of his fa-
mily, who bear an ancient Highland name, a reverence for the
parochial schools of " the far distant country still called home."
In the Caledonian Free School :302 poor children, all Scottish,
or of Scottish descent, are now receiving an excellent educa-
tion. practically. useful and suited to their spheres in life, with
religioualustruction, founded on the principles of the Church
of Scotland. The school for the boys is greatly crowded, and
the only painful duty the committee have had to perform has
been to reject numerous applications for further admissions,
many of them front the wives of Scottish sailors employed in
Liverpool vessels, who plead that in the aesence of their hus-
h inds on distant voyages their sons would he safe front the
corruptions that prevail in our large tromp by attending this
Scottish school. The committee, therefore, are very desirous
of enlarging the school-rooms, but they have no funds tor such
purpose, as their resources are barely sufficient to meet the cur-
rent expenditure. We Warn, with regret, that there are many
persona. Scottish, or of Scottish descent, residing here in com-
fortable circumstances, who have not vet contributed by Jona-
thin, or by annual subscription towartis the support of the Ca-
ledonian Free School, the 'only Scottish charity in Liverpool.
We earnestly hope that one and ail of them will now,follow the
fine example that has been shown them by this generous, right-
minded American gentleman.
Naw APOTHECARIES' Ac r.—According to Mr. Warburton's
bill for the regulation of apothecaries, the latter are riot to be
allowed to compound medicines, but will be entitled to receive
Ws fees, or as low as 53., if they think fit, for each visit. The
medicines the.), prescrthe me to be provided and compounded by
chemists, aIM, previous to so doings must undergo a rigid exa-
mination. to show that they are duly qualified.— Times.—{An
act containing such provisions as these would, like all radical
legislation. in which the interests of the lower orders are con-
cerned, prove a great curse to the poor. It will be found, on
inquiry, that the charge usually made by the profession gene.
rally to the whole class unuerstood by the terms "mechanics"
and " little tradesmen' for advice, attendance, and medicines,
does not amount to one-half even of the minimum fee proposed
to be charged for each visit. If the apothecary is not to be al-
, lowed to dispense medicines to his patients, assuming every
chemist duly qualified to compound them, what security will
the former have that his prescriptions will be properly made up ?
Or, if properly made up, that time drugs and chemicals will be
of the best quality. Again, whit certainty will the doctor have
that the more valuable chemicals, drugs, and compounds are
always to be had at a chemist's shop? Should this bid be passed
the great bulk of the apothecaries business will pass into the
hands of the chemists.—E. L. Ss] •
LalsoasTatt INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.—The business of
this court terminated on Saturday last. The following cases
have been disposed of in addition to those mentioned in our
lasto-s-George Swanwick, Gravel-lane, Manchester, retailer of
beer, atljourned to next circuit. William Norobtu, Ryland-
street, Salford, retailer of beer, petition dismissed. George
Hall, Tailst'orth, near Manchester, remanded seven months.

countant, remanded to next circuit. Hobert ancock, Bridge-
atreet, Choriton-upon-Medleck, cutler, petition dismissed. John
Fitzpatrick, 3.2, Oldham-road, Manchester, baker. three months.
lsicw Citteeen, KtaKDALE.—The foundation-stone of a new
church. to be erected by private subscription, is, we understand,
to be laid by his Worship the Mayor of Liverpool, on Tuesday
next, at eleven o'clock, on a piece of ground a little beyond the
village, on the Walton road. The building when elected, will
accomodate I.(XX) persons, 200 sittings tieing reserved for the
liae of time poor, and the remainder to be !et on moderate terms.

The total cost of the eicc►i will be £2,8:-0. A church has

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

We, your majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the un-
dersigned freeholders, gentlenien, clergy, and other inhabitants
of the county of Leicester, venture to approach your majesty at
the present crisis with the expression of our sincere attachment
and devotion to your majesty's person, throne, and government.
We thank yout majesty fur the wisdom and firmness you have
already displayed in the choice of ministers upon whom, while
they have shown every disposition to promote ad just and whole-
some Measures of reform, the country relies with the most im-
plicit • confidence that they will preserve the integrity of those
lust itutions upiin which we firmly believe depend the safety of
voiii majesty's throne, and th.e existence of your people as an
independent and prosperous state.
NVe, therefore, most humbly and respectfully entreat your
majesty not to let the reins of government pass into the hands
of those who would frustrate your majesty's paternal endeavours
for the welfare of the country ; and we declare our unatterable
determination to support your majesty in the just exercise of
your royal prerogative, amid the ministers whom your majesty
has so happ►ly- chosen in their noble and manly resistance to
the threatened encroachments upon the protestant church, sub-
versive, as we believe them to be, of our national religion, and
fraught with imminent danger to the best interests of the
country.

TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBLET PEEL, DART., FIRST LOUD
OF THE TREASUIIy, CHANCLLI.OR OF Ills MAJESTY'S EX-

CIIEtI It, &C. &C,

NVe, the undersigned freeholders, gentlemen, clergy, and
other inhabitants of the county of Leicestero6l it 'our duty
most respectfully to convey to you at the present crisis our un-
feigned thanks for the noble and manly resistance which you
have lately made in the Commons House of Pariiament, against
• those meditated encroachments upon the ecclesiastical constilu•
tiint of our country which must inevitably lead to the subversion
of the rights of property in general.
• It is to you, sir, and to the government of which you are the
head, that those who value the preservation of the institutions
under which we have the happiness to live, look fir assistance
to transmit them unimpaired to our posterity as the most valua-
ble possession they can enjoy, and the richest legacy we can
leave. Determined. therefore, as we are to support our King,
and the ministers whom he has so happily chosen, to aid him in
his endeavours for the country's welfare, we implore you not to
mistake the clamour of a selfish faction for the unbiassed voice
of the nation, but. to persevere is the arduous task you have
undertaken of holding the reins of government in this eventful
period; and sure we are that you will be supported in every
trial and every conflict that awaits you by the heart and voice
of the British people.
With every sentiment of gratitude and esteem,
.NITe subscribe ourselves,
Your most faithful -servants.
