GENERAL REGISTRY BILL.—Our excellent correspondent, who has favoured us with

a long letter on this subject, will perceive that the dis- cussion on the Bill is postponed until the 25th January. We shall be- fore that time make use of his favour; or, if we cannot use it in its present shape, we shall work up its materials, in that shape which we may find most available.

In ease of any division on the Reform Bill before Christmas, Mr. W. D. Gillen has paired off, ill favour of the Bill, with Mr. Ramsay, the member for Stirlingshire.
